If you are not a contributor to the Democratic political machine, you are persona non gratta.
The estate tax of 15-22% is the other reason.
A plague on all the politicians and bureaucrats!
HOPE when they load you on the trains for the camps, you remember “I told you so”!

Disposable Houses
in: Architecture,Breakthrough Thinking,Business,Latest Trend,People Making a Difference,Photo Perspectives,Science & Technology News
*** begin quote ***
Here are a few reasons why having a disposable mindset may beneficial when it comes to real estate.
When moving across town, or to a new city, it makes much more sense to reprint a home in the neighborhood you want than to settle for what available.
Housing needs change as people move through different stages in life. Families with small kids need a different house than those with teens, and once kids move out, it changes again.
Whenever wind or hailstorms cause roof damage, it may be easier and cheaper to reprint a house than to repair it.
People who work from home can easily add an office or two when needed.
In places where flooding, fires, shifting soil, or termites cause major damage to buildings, the entire architecture can be reworked to compensate for those problems.
As people get older and no longer want to do steps, two story houses can be turned into ranch homes.
When driverless cars make owning cars obsolete, garages can be eliminated and reformed into other kinds of usable spaces.
*** end quote ***
Given the movement to smaller micro housing, this is an amazing contribution to humanity.
It’s not that the McMansions are “bad”. They are just inefficient.
And, the debt one takes is just wrong.
Again the Gooferment’s “tax” “code” is the cause of the problem.
“tax” = theft
“code” = gibberish that is unintelligible to the average person
We need to level the playing field between savings and debt.
The Gooferment should be a “referee”; protecting the People. Not shearing the Sheeple!

Will Facebook Bring Down the Government?
Gary North – April 26, 2014
*** begin quote ***
PASSIVE RESISTANCE
Passive resistance will bring down any institution. This was the insight of Saul Alinsky a generation ago, and it was the insight of Mohandas Gandhi in the 1920’s and 1930’s. When people withdraw their support from an institution, because they believe that the institution is no longer trustworthy, that institution’s days are numbered.
People will cooperate for a lot of reasons. They don’t want trouble. They don’t want to be singled out for prosecution by some federal agency. They don’t know the limits of the law. They just want to go about their daily affairs, and they are willing to remain in habitual patterns of behavior in order to avoid trouble. But decision-makers in the federal government should not expect this cooperation to continue when the going gets tough. When external events are disrupting the lives of large numbers of people, their habits will change. If they see an advantage in breaking the rules, they are going to start breaking the rules. They will not be restrained by a sense of conscience, precisely because they no longer believe that the federal government is operating on the basis of morality.
This sharp decline in trust has not been triggered by a particular event. In other words, the federal government cannot reverse this decline by changing its position on any particular piece of objectionable legislation or enforcement. The decline appears to be the result of nothing in particular. The government now has to hope that this decline in trust will be reversed by nothing in particular. If it cannot be reversed, then the government’s ability to use coercion to gain specific public responses is going to decline. Too many people will not cooperate.
We do not see any major change in policy in Congress. We do not see any particular branch of government encountering anything resembling organized resistance. But trust is rapidly disappearing. Public critics of the government do not appear to be the source of this decline, because there is no single issue that has triggered this decline. It is not clear what cause-and-effect is.
This is good news for the critics of the federal government, and it is bad news for Congress.
These poll results indicate that people are in a default mode of distrust, yet they are also in default mode of obedience. This discrepancy cannot continue indefinitely. Either obedience is going to be withdrawn, or else some degree of trust is going to be restored.
Erosion of obedience will follow the erosion of trust. This will make things even tougher on bureaucrats. They will not gain the implicit subsidy involved in all voluntary compliance.
*** end quote ***
And when the taxpayers “revolt” that’s when it will hit the fan.
When those “pulling the wagon” realize there are too many “free riding in the wagon”, the scam stops.
When gold and silver becomes money again, then that’s the end of the current political class.

Ration Cards, Block Long Food Lines as Inflation Rate in Venezuela Hits 60%
by Frances Martel 26 Apr 2014, 2:36 PM PDT
*** begin quote ***
The Bolivarian Socialist revolution has claimed the lives of 41 Venezuelans and forced thousands of others to suffer long lines in supermarkets for basic needs. While the political situation in the country remains dire, the economic situation continues to worsen: Venezuela’s inflation rate reached 60% this month.
According to Infobae, prices on common goods increased 4.1% in March, with rates increasing 59.4% between March 2013 and March 2014. The numbers are late because the Venezuelan government is late on reporting them — reporting March’s inflation statistics fifteen days later than the legal requirement imposed by the Chavista government on themselves. There is no indication that the individuals running the Venezuelan bureau of economic statistics will receive any punishment for delaying the release of such information.
*** end quote ***
Wow, and don’t say it can’t happen here.
Inflation is a type of theft that can only happen with Gooferment fiat currency.
It hits the poor, those on fixed income, and the savers.
Argh!

Hi,
To make your Evernote experience faster and more reliable, we will be upgrading the servers that house your Evernote account between 2pm and 5pm PT on Tuesday, April 29th. We expect this process to take about 30 minutes. You may not be able to use some Evernote features during this time.
In particular, you might not be able to sync, use Evernote Web or the Web Clipper, or access some of your notes on mobile devices. The desktop versions of Evernote should continue to function without syncing. If you need to use Evernote during this period, we recommend that you sync your notes prior to 2pm. Premium users may consider downloading important notebooks to their phones or tablets.
As always, you can check the status of the Evernote servers and read about planned maintenance at http://status.evernote.com.

Interesting time to schedule an upgrade.
Most IT folks love Sunday night at 2AM work.
TO do it during prime time is … …
… … arrogant and disruptive to the Customer?
But that’s what you get when you put your fate in the hands of another.

The Federal Reserve said it would reduce its mortgage and Treasury bond buying program to $45 billion per month, while pointing to a growth pickup after a bad winter and sticking to previous guidance it has given on the outlook for short-term interest rates.
The steps were widely expected by investors before the meeting and represent a continuation of the monetary policy strategy laid out by Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen and former Chairman Ben Bernanke in the last few months.
The Fed’s move came after a report that showed the U.S. economy barely grew in the first quarter. Fed officials acknowledged the first quarter slowdown was worse than expected by saying activity “slowed sharply.” Previously they had just said activity merely slowed.

Since going “primal” (i.e., following the Paleo diet as best I can), all I drink is mostly water, coffee, tea, and wine. (Quantities not necessarily in that order.)
I happened to drink a can of Diet Coke the other day, and it now tastes awful.
Guess like anything, your “tastes” do change.
Bad news for Coke!

NBA Bans L.A. Clippers Owner for Life
Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been banned for life by the NBA in response to racist comments the league says he made in a recorded conversation.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver also says he will try to force a sale of the Clippers and fined Mr. Sterling $2.5 million. Mr. Silver called Mr. Sterling’s comments and views “deeply offensive and harmful.”

Legion: VA secret list ‘abhorrent’
BY Marty Callaghan – April 24, 2014
*** begin quote ***
“We’re going to find out what happened in Phoenix,” Dellinger said. “We are going to find out who was responsible for this secret list and if they are still working for VA. These preventable deaths keep mounting, and yet we see not a single VA manager being held accountable. The American Legion will work with Congress and the VA Central Office to find out exactly what has been happening, and why. It is not sufficient for VA to simply say it’s going to try to do better next time, without holding people accountable.”
*** end quote ***
Coming to everyone soon with OBAMACARE.
Argh!
The Gooferment doesn’t do ANYTHING right. It’s immoral, ineffective, and inefficient.

You’re Not Highly Evolved
Here’s where our bodies still mess up
By Veronique Greenwood Posted 04.16.2014 at 9:00 am
*** begin quote ***
METABOLISM
Our love of calorie-rich foods was useful early in our evolutionary history, but now that food is plentiful, that same predilection may contribute to the obesity epidemic. Unfortunately, evolution won’t offer its own solution for a long time. For example, 9,000 years elapsed between when some cultures first domesticated cows and when 90 percent of those populations finally were able to digest the lactose in milk.

One of the reasons I’m attempting to follow a paleo diet.
What did Grok, the caveman, eat?
Anything that he could find or catch. Went hungry a lot. And ran from what chased him.
Laff!
