  • Should there be sales taxes on Internet purchases?   12 years 2 weeks ago

    The alternative is to continue to sell our "commons" to the private sector. With many states and municipalities running out of funds, forced to lay off first responders, educators, and close programs and with sequester cuts slowing federal assistance, states are strapped. I think any revenue would seem like a winfall. No one is crazy about taxes, but there are reasons for them. Wasn't it Socrates who, when asked to flee into exile to save his life said, we owe something to the country that has housed us, clothed us and fed us?

  • Never settle with the Banksters.   12 years 2 weeks ago

    Having worked at call centers -first with a group trying to help folks keep their homes, then at another with a major bank as the contract. I found out 1st hand how banks and mortgage companies (which are fronts for banks) operate. Between the 2, I Iearned more than I ever wanted to know about the mortgage racket. I kept asking myself how these toxic loans could even be legal. The more I learn about the games banks are playing, derivatives and such, basically betting on their own failures, the less I want to have anything to do with them. Watching the stock market hit yet another high today, makes things seem even more shakey. Just as in the 1920's, it goes higher and higher, with nothing behind it. When Cyprus comes to the US, when the banks start reaching directly into your checking account to support their gambling habits, it may all come to a head, and crash. Everyone in corporate, financial and government is riding high on their greed. History has shown over and over again that it will eventually come back to bite them, and everyone suffers for it.

    State banks may be 1 alternative. Until that comes about, look for a good credit union.

    No those companies are American Ken. Exxon, Mobil, Shell, Texaco and Chevron, just to name few, I live in Calgary a city of a million people and there is around 90,000 Americans here. They all have there own office towers downtown. Also all the American service companies Haliburton , Schumberger, Fracmaster, etc. have there own towers. although one of the biggest Canadian oil companies just sold to a Chinese company. We still have a few left , Encana, Suncor, Syncrude but they are mostly owned by US companies as well. Sorry but you no what they say about people who live in glass houses. Don't even get me started about how many military bases ou guys have all over the world. And all we want is one little pipeline, but I guess it's a lot to ask. Now that I think about it your kinda like the the neighbour who borrows all my tools, lawn mower, pressure washer and my truck but he wouldn't lend me a shovel.

    ALL the people who "lost" a home should be rehomed in a house like the one they "lost". Housing doubled in a space less than 10 years as I recall while wages stagnated and Executive and CEO pay increased. The lawyers and the banks who repossessed the homes are the ones who are making the money here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4Stk2yejNk

    Kend - Those companies sucking up your shale oil are probably multi-national oil companies and not simple Americans like me. Yes, the corporations have set up shop in many foreign countries, but again these are multi-national companies and corporations, not the American citizens who work and live in our country. But I agree with the point about American based companies raping other countries for their natural resources. There are corporate villains in every country, sucking the life force out of their fellow citizens and citizens of foreign countries for greater wealth.

    I tried to inform you on why these poor kids receive free lunches, and I respect your comments. K.W.

    DeAnneMarc - I owe you an apology for my comments and trying to bait you into an argument on line. We are on the opposite sides of the scale when it comes to conspiracy theories, the military as a whole, our government and our country. I was wrong to try to intimidate you on line. At times I come off as a heavy on line and over react to comments others make. Consider this an apology. My daughter had to remind me that all males do not see the world as I do. I rarely apologize, but I crossed the line in my comments on Friday. This is not to taken as an admission that I agree with you and your comments, I do not. But I allowed my testosterone to override my good sense. In the event someone might have read my comments, I wanted to admit I was wrong. K.W.

    Quote Hartmann:
    The big banks should have been broken up, and held accountable for their illegal practices. If too-big-to-fail means too-big-to-jail, then the big banks are too-big-to-exist. No more fines and settlements over fraud – it's time to break up the banks.

    Definitely! Well said! Couldn't have said it better myself!

    ckrob: I hear BitCoin is quite fashionable now. And it scares the crabs out of the Banksters...and our fascist government. Although BitCoins have had some problems. The reason it scares them is because they don't really have any control over them and transactions can be kept secret which means money can be laundered pretty easily and things that are illegal can be purchased more covertly than with other forms of transactions like with credit cards, debt cards, even cash. I don't know if I could trust them though. But, I don't even know if I can trust my bank. When all someone needs is an account number and a routing number to transfer electronic funds out of your account then that is scary. I've already experienced this...but with small amounts..thank goodness. I caught the transfers right off and the bank investigated and restore my balance...but they took their sweet old time about it and they never gave me an explanation of what happened. They really don't want you to know. The account number and routing numbers are usually printed on the bottom of every check. And yes, I still pay my bills by check...the good old fashioned way. I don't trust on-line banking because I had problems many years ago when on-line banking first started. But since, I've learned a lot more about how insecure on-line banking is.

    Business people would not be so willing to withhold free lunches for school children if it would also mean that they would not get free lunches in business. Business people get free lunches all the time and they get to write it off on their taxes. The businesses usually pay the expenses of some of their employees..mostly executives or sales people..they just put it on "expenses" and the company pays for it...and, of course, the company gets a tax write off....cost of doing business.

    Think of it this way...giving school children free lunches...to our future employees...and consider it a cost of doing business. You will get healthier and smarter kids growing up to be healthier and smarter employees...and they may not mug you in the streets or break into your multimillion dollar fortress of a home and rob and kill you and your family.

    Besides, if kids are malnourished and lacking in health care....we could be looking at an epidemic of some great proportion in the future...and even your "rich kids" may die along with the "poor kids" and they will bring it home to you, the adults...We're all gonna die! Come on now, rich people, haven't you ridden the tax break "free lunch" long enough? It's time you pay your fair share of the burden in taxes. Reagan's dead! And I hope the Bushes will be soon...pieces of Hitlerian garbage.

    You won't be able to contain the coming epidemic. We'd better be prepared!!!

    I suspect that in the very near future we will see, if not a rogue suitcase nuke going off somewhere in America, then we will see a biological nightmare set off by some sort of terrorist activity. You just cannot act like a$$hole$ murdering so many people like in the Middle East and expect to not have some really big payback (blowback)! And our Keystone Kops are just not going to be able to stop it!
