Identity Fraud would be impossible with out the Gooferment’s lame “social security number”. Argh! Everything is so predictable!

And now, a large group of Texans are about to have it a lot worse:the state revealed Monday that personal information for 3.5 million citizens has been exposed to the public, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and more.

Nearly Half of U.S. Households Pay No Income Tax to Feds
Published April 17, 2011 | Associated Press
*** begin quote ***
WASHINGTON — As Monday’s tax filing deadline nears, ponder this: The super rich pay a lot less taxes than they did a couple of decades ago, and nearly half of U.S. households pay no income taxes at all.
*** end quote ***
That’s a stunning figure.
So, we have the few who pay for the rest?
Isn’t that socialism?
How did we allow total tax rates to exceed the Bible’s tithe (10%)?
Argh!

Texas May Go To 85! (Clovers Stroking Out All Over)
by Eric Peters
*** begin quote ***
If routinely exceeding politically contrived “limits” were in fact dangerous and not just a scam to gin up money without imposing an explicit Motorists Tax, then our system is oddly kindhearted to all the millions upon millions of (cough) dangerous drivers out there.
But of course, they’re not dangerous. Just guilty of ignoring a number pulled out of a hat and plastered into a sign bu politicians bureaucrats. The cops know it, the judges know it, the insurance companies know it, too.
All the evidence says so, too.
*** end quote ***
Why have any speed limits at all?
Other than revenue generation.
How about using the police to stop real crimes?
Ever drive on any of our roads? Every day at least once a day, I see some one jeopardizing public safety with roid rage behaviour or being a Left Lane Richard. But, the cops wiuld have to patrol to see it and snag them. That’s hard work. As oppoesed to sitting somewhere with a magazine waiting for an alarm clock.
Argh!

What The Silver Vigilantes Understand That You Probably Don’t (Arithmetic, Human Nature and other Stuff)
In Open Thread, Silver, stocks finance, Treasuries on Wednesday, December 15, 2010 at 6:03 pm
*** begin quote ***
Part 6. So what’s silver worth.
The short answer is: more. If silver were priced based on its occurrence relative to gold, it would be over $125/oz. If it were priced on its availability – somewhere around $2,000. But if you are content to let the likes of Blythe Masters dictate the value based on truckloads of worthless paper promises, you can expect ultra-low prices until the whole thing blows up. Of course at that point, we’ll be so busy killing each other for food no one will have time to say, “I told you so.”
The silver vigilantes just want you to re-learn what the phrases like, “cold, hard cash,” and“payment in full” are supposed to mean. There not asking you to sink everything you have into physical silver, just a little. Silver can’t be printed into oblivion, or stolen by a cyber attack. Why wouldn’t you want to own some of your very own?
A paper dollar from 1960 is worth exactly the same as a paper dollar in 2010, but four quarters from 1960 are worth more than $21. Given the fiscal insanity of the US government, I can’t imagine the US dollar surviving another 50 years, but I’m quite sure that silver will still be useful. Please consider getting some.
*** end quote ***
Amazing the price estimation. Question: if silver is 125$/oz or 2k$/oz, what will be the value of the dollar, gold, oil, and everything else? Argh!

Arrest Report: Woman Died After Undergoing Buttocks Enhancement
POSTED: APR 11, 2011 12:58 PM
UPDATED: APR 11, 2011 6:55 PM

*** begin quote ***
LAS VEGAS — A woman died Saturday night after undergoing a medical procedure from two people who are now facing murder charges.
Police say the incident took place at a small office near east Charleston Boulevard and Palm Street. The victim, 42-year-old Elena Caro, arrived Saturday for a buttocks enhancement, but was pronounced dead at a hospital hours later.
*** end quote ***
So much for the vaunted Gooferment protection.
All the regulations, all the inspectors, and all the laws couldn’t save this poor woman from her own bad decision.
Now, I am sure, that everyone will “blame the victim”.
And, there is some blame for her in this incident.
But, shouldn’t we examine the system that enabled it to happen?
The Gooferment controlled by the AMA, Big Insurance, and Big Pharma, keeps prices high by restricting supply. So what are poor people, without insurance, without money, supposed to do?
Go to the “shade tree mechanics”. The back alley doctors. The con artists.
Could she have been fooled by the illusion of respectability?
And, what did the Gooferment do to prevent this from happening? I bet there were all sorts of tell taale warning signs. I bet various agencies have “inspectors” on the payroll “vigorously” “Inspecting”.
Deregulate healthcare and train the Sheeple to do their own “inspecting”!
It’ll be cheaper and we’ll all be better off.
Gooferment is truly the meme that kills.

Greetings from XXXXX – Alive and Well in Singapore
Posted by: “XXXXX”
Sat Apr 9, 2011 12:01 am (PDT)
HI Guys, Saturday, April 9th, 2011.
Greetings from Singapore.
I understand that on March 22nd an “Emergency Help!!!” SCAM e-mail was sent in my name to the Manhattan Prep 1964 Yahoo Group.
My apologies if it created any alarm.
However, I am sure that any Prepster who received this e-mail would have realized that the exaggerated emotional tone and piss poor grammar gave it away as a scam…
Here is the background on the scam…
On the evening of March 22nd, someone hacked into my Yahoo/Prodigy Account, hijacked my address book, which contained about 1,400 addresses and then proceeded to send out an “Emergency Help” E-mail asking for money. The hacker even changed my password and set up a forwarding address edward1.coll@yahoo.com to which all my incoming e-mails went so he could try and continue to perpetrate this scam.
Within a few minutes of the scam e-mail being sent, I started receiving phone calls and e-mails from all over the world from people on my contact list enquiring if I was O.K. and whether they should send money to me via a Western Union Office in London .
I told them that this was a big SCAM and to just ignore the e-mail and not even reply as the hacker had arranged to have all the replies forwarded to him. What an operator !!!
It was really frustrating as this hacker also changed my password so I could not initially access my account to see what was going on
I was finally able to get in touch with Yahoo’s Customer Service Department and spent about two hours on the phone with them to get my password reset so I could access the account and cancel out all the forwarding addresses that the hacker had set up.
The worst thing was that he erased my Yahoo Address book and the 1,400 names it contained. Fortunately, I had backed up the address book so I was able to re-import the contacts to my yahoo account.
I hope this matter is settled now. and that no one was duped into sending this hacker any money.
My e-mail address, {Privacy Invoked} should be secure now.
Best regards,
# – # – #
I’m glad you’re OK. It’s not that we have any fellow alum to spare.
On a technical note, were you able to determine, how the hack was accomplished? I’m interested from an InfoSec pov. The default assumption was that someone kept “knocking on the door” with passwords until it opened. It’s not hard to imagine a bot (software robot) doing that. But, it’s also possible that it was malware on your computer or malware on a site you visited with an old browser.
Interesting?
May I suggest that you, or anyone, have your own domain? The common wisdom, or is that common whizdumb, is to own your own name as a domain name. I own “reinke.cc”. (I like saying “sea sea me at reinke.cc”! me@reinke.cc will actually work!)
I can send you some links to stuff that I’ve posted on my blog “Reinke Faces Life” about how to “do” email to avoid such unpleasantries. It’s neither hard not expensive.
Unfortunately, having a yahoo, gmail, or hotmail account makes you are target for the black hats. Eventually they find everyone who has one of those “free accounts”.
At the very least, one can hide by using a very long random string password. I use twenty characters. Of course, I use tools like roboform, last pass, and even the infamous yellow stickie to remember them.
But I doubt anyone has as many unique ids and passwords as I do. I’m a little nuts about it.
I’m now off to change my Yahoo password to something longer. I’m sure someone is listening.
:-)

O’Reilly falsely claims Conn. was residence for Obama Sr.
*** begin quote ***
In an attempt to explain why Barack Obama, who lived in Hawaii as a teen, has a Social Security number that indicates he had a Connecticut address, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly asserted the president’s father lived in the state.
But there is no evidence that Barack Obama Sr., who left Hawaii in 1962 to study at Harvard in Massachusetts and then returned to his home country of Kenya, ever lived in Connecticut.
*** end quote ***
I watch Bill O’Reilly regularly, and sometimes Glenn Beck.
BOR has been completely dismissive of the “birthers”. I agree that there is little “evidence” that BHO44 was born ANYWHERE.
Obviously, he was born SOMEWHERE. And, there is some assertions that REGARDLESS of where he was born, he’s not a “natural born citizen”. (That’s a term of art from the late 1700’s that is well defined in Blackstone’s but not in Federal Law.)
(That assertion cites the dual citizenship of BHO44’s purported father and the age of his purported mother. Or is it “alleged”?
Lately, I suspect everything. There’s a good reason for the Rules of Evidence. As opposed to the Rules of Engagement.
Anyway, I saw Bill making his argument. And, just from my casual knowledge of the assertions, I KNOW he’s wrong about the CT SSN. I think his EGO has tripped him up here.
And, expect that eventually there’s going to be a lot of “egg on face” for a lot of reporters, investigators, and pundits.
As Trump says, (and I’m no Trump fan), “He may have pulled off the scam of the century.”
Argh!

> greatest regrets as an investor
“Regrets, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention …”
I, personally, have a “no look back” policy. I’ve seen folks drive themselves nuts, literally, over choices made decades before. So, I don’t REGRET. I’ve made mistakes, blunder, and brain freezes. I’ll share one of the many financial lessons I’ve learned after paying some very expensive “tuition” at the University of Hard Knocks.
The biggest “lesson”, what you’d call a regret, is that, from youth to middle age, I always spent money like a drunken sailor. Savings were for old people. I had some thrifty relatives, but they never transferred that wisdom to me. During this period, I had many investment opportunities, ideas, and opportunities that I couldn’t, wouldn’t, or didn’t take advantage of. In hindsight, I would have been fantastically wealthy if I had taken advantage of them.
You want a specific. I worked on Wall Street and, during that ‘drunken sailor’ era, I thought I knew it all. I “invested” in all sorts of stuff pushed by my employers — the worst was Real Estate Unit Trust. They were dogs; the organizers and the firm made a lot of money. It was a disaster. And, caused me tax problems.
I wised up at some point in my life and got a real financial planner, who gets paid a fixed fee. They’ve gotten me organized and accumulating. Luckily, in my life, I’ve been lucky to stay employed and earning. Time heals all stupidity?
(I’ll permit myself one “coulda”. I know the “shouldas, couldas, and wouldas” will kill you.)
I “coulda” had a much better and different life if I’d just been a little smarter about money.

REVIEW & OUTLOOK
APRIL 14, 2011
The Presidential Divider
Obama’s toxic speech and even worse plan for deficits and debt.
*** begin quote ***
Did someone move the 2012 election to June 1? We ask because President Obama’s extraordinary response to Paul Ryan’s budget yesterday—with its blistering partisanship and multiple distortions—was the kind Presidents usually outsource to some junior lieutenant. Mr. Obama’s fundamentally political document would have been unusual even for a Vice President in the fervor of a campaign.
The immediate political goal was to inoculate the White House from criticism that it is not serious about the fiscal crisis, after ignoring its own deficit commission last year and tossing off a $3.73 trillion budget in February that increased spending amid a record deficit of $1.65 trillion. Mr. Obama was chased to George Washington University yesterday because Mr. Ryan and the Republicans outflanked him on fiscal discipline and are now setting the national political agenda.
*** end quote ***
Argh!
Politicians and bureaucrats all lie. When their lips move.
The budget commission’s report was not perfect. Taxes ARE theft. And, these political games are stealing from our posterity. The last generation was misnamed “The Greatest Generation”. (I say misnamed because they started us down the road to ‘borrow and spend’ with an added expansion of European Social Spending and Militarism.) What will this generation be called “The Borrowed Us Into The Poor House” generation?
