The Changing World
Since World War #2 (WWII), my lifetime, I
have noticed the formation of many little
socialistic government countries.....Some
are also Communist and of course you have
to have your dictator or two, for world
balance......
In all of this the United States was the
exception, it was a Capitalist nation....
The "odd ball" country which a lot of other
countries took exception to......
Well if anything went wrong in the little
Socialistic country, the first thing they did
was come to the the Capitalist country for
money and help......
Well all of that will change now......
With the United States going Socialistic,
it has joined the world commune.....Now
when any of these communal countries
gets into a problem, where will they go?.....
No where.......
The "global world" of economy is now
dead......Every country will now protect
itself from any outside financial damage and
once again become an "individual nation"...
Like it was in the olde days......
Yep, a few people made $$$$$$, they
always have and will continue to do so....
And the "serfs who live at the bottom of
the hill, below the castle will survive" they
have for some 4000 years of recorded
history.......And will continue to do so
just as the "land owner's" have....Pumps

$250,000.00
It seems that the magic number above is for
the taxing of "rich" people.......
What "gets me" is that there are all these
talking "heads" and news readers that keep
saying that this is good for the future of the
United States and its tax system........
Each one of these "heads" and newscasters
is MAKING way in excess of $250,000.00 per
year.....I guess that they make so much money
that the tax increases on THEIR salary will
in no way effect them......Must be great to
live in the "rich elite" class......Pumps

Three Card Monty
Just heard this afternoon that the State, in
which my little town of Jabunyaville exists,
has solved it's budget crisis.....
Since the State will receive "Stimulus Money",
there will be no reason to raise taxes on the
populous.......Isn't that nice.......
Question: Is not the "Stimulus Money"
taxpayers money in the first place?.......
Question: If the Federal money is not from
the taxpayers then where is it from?
China?....India?.....Sweden?.......And don't
we have to pay it back?......
Sound like someone is misusing their
credit card.......Pumps

Executive Bonuses
The whole business world is "aflutter" with the
fact that some CEOs (company heads) will
only be allowed to make $500,000 (1/2 million)
a year in salary......
This has come about because some people
in the Government thought others were making
too much money in bonuses......
Well let's look at it this way......This executives
got the money because it was THERE.....
It existed on the corporate balance sheets.....
For the common man, it is the same as
finding a $20 dollar bill in an old pair of
pants.....Found money......Spend it......
The current stimulus package in the US
Congress is the same thing.....The money
is THERE so let's spend it......
The forgotten fact is that in both corporate
and Government instances - the balance
sheet is wrong.....So we will go from one
problem to another.......
It will be a bad double layer cake when it
is all over.....We are currently in the middle
icing process.......Pumps

Insecure Generations
The United States, and I suspect that some
parts of the Western world have two
generations of insecure people as inhabitants.....
Here in America, we have the Boomers,
then the X'sers and finally the Y'sers
(aka Millenniums)......
None of these three generations of people
have had to "suffer" in any way shape or
form.......If they asked, then so they received.....
The "Millenniums" will just have to adjust,
that is because they are too young to
demand......"No candy for your today".......
However the Boomers and the X'ers are in
deep trouble......There is no basis in their
life for "not want"......They will now have
to be content with "just have".......
The phony "monopoly" money has fallen
from the "game board" of life......Things
are now REAL......The electronic money
is gone......
I may say, from us seniors, "Welcome to
the world "Boomers and X'ers"....We may
have brought you into the world but you
are now living in a world you created
for yourself........Pumps
