..............2.Read Between the Lines

The BIG TURD was founded in 2009. I opened this business because of my disgust with politicians.

I have strong beliefs in why this country is in trouble if we continue voting the same class of people in Office.

I am not a Democrat or a Republican . They are all the same in my opinion. I also want to kick off a newsletter through this business called "Read between the lines". With my background and experience I have developed a unique talent that knows how to read between the lines and listen to what was not said when politicians speak. I worked around Politicians and Lobbyists for a few years and that was an experience I would like to forget.

I feel confident if you follow the Tweets and Newsletters for a short time you will see things in a different way.

 

Politicians, talk show hosts and the news media are constantly steering and misleading us. Let me give you an example of the way we are conditioned to think. When Chris Dodd, chairman of the powerful Senate banking committee was accused of getting a special deal on his own personal mortgage Country Wide Bank it was no surprise that the news media and talk show hosts jumped all over it. The story was in the news for at least 2 months. The entire time the story was aired, Democrats stated that they knew Mr.. Dodd could never do such a thing while the Republicans said he should resign. This is how we are manipulated to think. Was he guilty or not? This is why he was guilty COMMON SENSE.
The mortgage company obviously would want him to know he got a special deal so they could get something from him in the future. Remember, Dodd proposed a program that could assist sub prime mortgage landers such as Countrywide.

COME ON PEOPLE . COMMON SENSE 101

If you had a business and you wanted to give a client, or future client two tickets to a ball game would you leave them in his mailbox and not tell him where they came from. Example 2. If you sent flowers to your daughter while she was in college are you not going to tell her where they came from. Example 3. If you had a product that sold for $100, and you wanted to give a long time customer 50% off would you not tell her that she was the only one getting that special deal?

DO NOT TELL THE MEDIA HOW TO THINK!

Stay tuned for the 3rd tweet. I will compare the NBA to the news media. That will make you think.

   

.........3 COMPARING THE NEWS MEDIA TO THE NBA

4

How we are steered to think in a certain way. If you ever watched an NBA Game, or any other sports game for that matter, one of the main things you notice is that Refs sometimes have bad games. I just finished watching a game where the announcers were saying things like "That was a bad call" .. "That call should have gone the other way".. "How could the Ref miss that call"? If a coach or owner complains about a bad call he is fined. (Mark Coban) So your only choice is to keep your mouth shut. Keep the image and the money flowing and everyone in the system can profit. Mark Coban of the Dallas Mavericks is fined more than anyone else for speaking up when he thinks his team got a raw deal. His loyalty is where it should be, with the fans. He sticks up for the fans. A fan that might have saved up for 3 months to take his kids to a game. The NBA has its loyalty backwards, just like the news media. If it were not for the fans there would be no NBA and if not for the viewers the would be no CNN etc. Here is how the news operates. The viewers call in or tweet the news media all of the time saying how they don't trust the politicians and they are out of touch with the mainstream. Their own surveys report that 80% to 85% of the people think Congress is doing a bad job. So hearing their viewers concerns, what do they do? They bring and interview politicians all day long. Then they interview their contributors who are extensions of the Politicians. You notice the contributors say things like " My party this, My party that". Their job is to sell their party's views. Another KEY THING to think about. When a politician comes on and CNN e.g. has their fact check guy says " THAT SIMPLY WAS NOT TRUE"

When the politician come on next time do the stations tell their viewers " HE LIED THE LAST TIME HE WAS HERE"

IT'S ENTERTAINMENT FOLKS. Shouldn't they be listening to the viewers?

News stations don't put their viewers first, just like the NBA doesn't put their fans first. TIP TO BOTH. LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO PAY YOUR SALARY. Do you think we can put politicians in that group? On CNN the other day, one of their contributors said the news media is considered the 4th branch of government.

GREAT. NOW WE HAVE 4 BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT THAT DON'T WORK.

HERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE NEWS PEOPLE BEING CLUELESS

TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH

The first thing you learn in Business 101 …….FIGURES DON’T LIE

The Rich are getting richer. Middle class is shrinking …..wages in America have declined year after year.

Let’s not  make this complicated………….only the news people can do that by bringing in their Democratic and Republican Strategists ……”Spin Masters”

Here is what they are not telling you….IT’S CALLED THE TRUTH

Ask yourself….What makes you think the extra income from tax breaks will be invested in the US economy?  Remember all the people that come on the news shows and say….we need to build a middle class in other countries. This is another KEY to lock into your brain….if you are reading between the lines….. you’re getting it.

Next….The Spin Masters tell you that companies are sitting on the sidelines….not hiring and holding their money….waiting to see which way the taxes go.

The reason they are not hiring …..Corporate America wants the Republican Party in office. Why would they hire before the mid-term elections and let the Democrats take credit for job creation?

       6

The biggest joke of all….Heard the saying ….NEVER HIRED BY A POOR MAN?

Politicians and the Spin Masters use this line all the time on the new networks.

This is a KEY: This tells you that the news people have no understanding of business.  Most Middle class Americans start a business by either getting a bank loan or by taking equity out of their homes (Key to remember) both of these choices are almost gone.

Corporate America 1…..Middle Class 0

If you can read between the lines …..you are really getting it.

Back to being hired by a poor man. I will give you the best example of all…..me, plus another 20 or 25 of my business associates that all have the same stories of when they started their businesses.

I started my business with $7,000 cash that I borrowed from family. I survived by maxing out all of my credit cards to live on. I took a salary way lower than all of my employees. I did this for almost two years while I was building a business. (Does this sound like a rich man starting a business?)

Oh!....by the way…while I was struggling…I had hired around 10 employees. This type of story probably covers 90% of small business start ups. I wonder why you don’t hear that in the news?

Keep following….You will connect the dots….and it will all make sense.

                          THE NEWS TELLING HALF THE STORY  

When the News surveys viewers about their opinion on tax cuts for the Rich, would their opinions be different if they knew the whole truth?   I believe the outcome of the surveys would be different.

                                      HERE IS WHAT THEY DON’T TELL YOU      

Example #1:  Wealthy taxpayers and Corporate America can afford expensive lawyers that can find the Loop-hole’s in the tax laws.  An IRS official was interviewed on TV several years ago and he made this statement to the reporter.  A person can make $1,000,000 a year and pay taxes on one fourth of their  income because he or she can afford a top notch CPA that knows how to shelter their income. 

Example #2:  There are Wealthy people and large Corporations that don’t pay any taxes. International Companies can shift their profits and expenses to the more favorable country.

Example #3:  The Wealthy will not pay the same percentage of their incomes towards Social Security. If your income is $150,000.00 or below you will pay 7% of your income towards Social Security.  If your Income is $1,000,000.00 you will pay less than 1% towards Social Security. 

                                      NOTHING LIKE SOCIALISM FOR THE RICH

You will never here the whole story on the News

WHY?  Here is a clue…..most News executives and TV Personalities make over $250,000.00 a year

   

                #7       WHAT THEIR NOT TELLING YOU ABOUT EARMARKS    

PLEASE…….someone in the News needs to understand this.    

Two CNN News people just made a statement about earmarks on their show.  They said that Earmarks make up just a small percentage of the GNP.

                                                  WOW  

There are viewers that are influenced by comments that are made on the News shows.  They might Be swayed that this is not a big deal since they heard this from a News Personality.   Here is the problem……Have you ever heard someone say something like this?    I know my Congressman is dishonest, however he did bring a new park, a new library and new sports complex to our city.  I will overlook the fact he beats his wife, takes bribes, does not pay taxes and was caught with a underage girl and etc.  

Good example……Congressman Rangel, 10 or more ethics violations and still received over 70% of the vote from his Constituancy. DON”T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE EARMARKS……this buys peoples votes and gives a advantage for someone that is already in office. Especially when running for re-election.

Believe me…….News people won’t understand this!

    ........................................ # 8   THANKS CNN                         

Don Lemon on CNN just proved my point on my last Tweet.  Don had 3 guests on his show, each represented a different business group, including the Chamber of Commerce.   Don told his guests there would be viewers watching the show that could be out of work.  He asked their opinion on why companies were not hiring.  One of the reasons you have heard many times……uncertainty about taxes.  I have owned a business for 25 years and believe me that is never a reason for not hiring.  As a independent business man I would do just the opposite if I knew my taxes were going up.  I would increase my sales and make up the loss of income.  Let’s go back to the group…..”Chamber Of Commerce”…..largest lobbying group in Washington….this group owns Congress.

Here is my point:  If these viewers were out of a job and were surveyed that day for their opinion on tax cuts for the rich……what would you think they would say after being steered to one point of view? question:  What would CNN do if they found out that Disneyland was considering  a new policy that parents could no longer inter the park with their kids?  MY GUESS….Bring in 3 pedophiles and ask there opinion.  Then Don could say:  Thanks for your expert opinion. I don’t like what Wikileaks did when it comes to our National Security, however you better hope there is someone like them gathering information.  It could be your only chance for the truth. I don’t know about you, but I want to know what went on behind closed doors with the Banks and Feds.
I want to know if Congressmen and Supreme Court Judges have overseas bank accounts.     

      

                          .........                       9         
.......................................... WEEK INTERVIEWS

Example 1:  I was watching a interview with George Bush and a reporter asked him what he thought about the future of the American worker.  President Bush answered by saying he thought that people with a entrepreneurial Spirit will do well in the future economy.  

                                                         WOW 

The reporter let him off the hook.   The reporter did not come back and say…..I am talking about the hourly worker , you know, the backbone of the middle class. Example 2;  I witnessed one of the weakest interviews that I had ever seen on TV.  The reporter asked The Oil Company Executive questions and the reporter would say after him answers…….OH….OK…I understand.  The Oil Company Executive totally controlled the interview. MY POINT:  I noticed the flood of commercials from oil companies on that network after the interview. 

                                           NOTICE EVERYTHING    

Example 3:  One of the most important comments was from President Obama that tells you about his mind-set.   (most politicians)  Early in his Presidency he said something similar to this…..Americans never keep things in their mind  for a long period of time, referring to their memory.  To me that is a license to lie, even though it is true.  Proof:   Wall Street, AIG and the Banks….biggest rip off in Americas  history and people seem to have forgotten.   Have you noticed their have been no prosecutions?

 

                                                     #10
                                    IMPORTANT HISTORY LESSON      

OUR REASON FOR ENTERING WW1 MOST HISTORIANS view on why the US entered WW QUOTE: There were those who were secretly planing Americas involvement in WW1 weather the American people wanted it or not.   Most people thing our reasoning for entering WW1 was influenced By Banks.  US had huge economic investments with the British and the French.  It they were to loose, then They  would not be able to pay the US debt back.  If Allies could not pay back all the loans made To them by American Bankers the US economy would collapse.  France and England were financing their war with US loans.  Plus buying large amounts  of arms from the US on credit.  The US had large economic interest vested in certain countries that were in the war.  The US had loaned millions of dollars to Britain as well as Billions to other countries.  It was in their interest To assure that the Allies won. 

QUOTES FROM OTHER HISTORIANS:  It was known that the very wealthy were interested in involving The American government in war.  Large banking interest were deeply interested in entering WW1 because Of large profits that could be made.

DOCUMENTED:  Franklin D. Roosevelt once wrote to Colonel House….“The real truth of the matter is, as You and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the government ever since  the Days of Andrew Jackson“. 

DAMNNNNNNNNNN….I did not know Exxon,   Halliburton and our existing Banks went that far back.  OH…..Lets go back to Andrew Jackson ……Jackson’s fight with the Bank of US.  QUOTE:  The Bank Concentrated an excessive amount of the Nations Financial Strength into one single institution.   QUOTE By issuing unsound money, the Bank of the US could bribe politicians, manipulate interest rates and cause Recessions.   QUOTE:  The Bank improved the fortunes of an elite circle of people at the expense of Laborers.  

IF PEOPLE CAN NOT DRAW A COMPARISON STUPID SHOULD COME TO MIND

   

                                   .............  #11

                                      NEWS STRICK AGAIN

Carter Evans of CNN just announced with a smile on his face about Citigroup paying back  their bailout Loan with a profit.  I had the impression he was saying their bailout was a good things.  Again, here is What he left out.  Which will happen if you are clueless about business.   Let the viewers know that 80% of the companies that filed bankruptcy could have turned the corner if they were one of the chosen Few that received a bailout……..That’s the real story.   

 

                                                    #12

OPEC:  I hope that you understand that OPEC is the best thing that ever happened to US Oil Companies.

OPEX Fixes prices on a International level that could not be done in the US.  Here is a under lying thought…..You will have to get in the Elites mind-set to understand this.   If I were Corporate America I would use China like the Oil Companies use OPEC.  I would use China as my excuse for shipping jobs overseas …..let them drive the prices down…..why else would we be so STUPID as to build up a Country that never has likes us.   I know this will blow past the News Media

 

   

                                               #13
  MUST READ  NEWS MEDIA  LETTING POLITICIANS OFF THE HOOK   

If you are a knowledgeable business person you will get this one.  President Obama was asked after the AIG Bailout why he did not attach in the agreement, that all bonuses will have to be cut. His answer:  Well, in hind site we should have.

COME ON PEOPLE: …………..535 Congressmen representing the American people and not one of them thought of this?

WORST OF ALL:  News people are to STUPID to pick up on this…..which happens when you are clueless about business. I need to bring in Seth from SATURDAY NITE LIVE and say:……..   REALLY>>>>>COME ON>>>>>>> REALLY

These people own our Congress……this is why it was not attached to the document. REALLY>>>>COME ON>>>REALLY

Ask someone like Donald Trump or anyone in business if they would have thought about this before they signed this agreement.

MY POINT:  Why did the news media not mention this to members of Congress before the Government take over of health care?  If there was a news person with a pair…….They could ask this….why should

the American People want the Government running anything?     Congress just proved their business skills with the AIG takeover.  Do you think the American People want to here…….oops…..in hind site we could have saved  a trillion.

Think about it …….the news media reports everyday about missing money, cost over runs, kick backs and etc.  When it comes to business our Congress is not capable of running a snow cone stand.

                                    .............     #14

                                           COMMON SENSE

Lets set this up……Everyone has worked for a company.  You know how everyone knows  everything. Example:  A group of salespeople and I went out for drinks and on returning to the office caught our Boss with his secretary.  Of course….the next day everyone knew about it.   Example 2:  Say a company has a no dating policy for co-workers.  Someone sees the mail girl and the warehouse employee holding hands at the mall.  Everyone thinks it is cute, no one really cares, however everyone knows the next day. If however, someone sees a employee stealing you are expected to turn them in…..it hurts the whole Company. KEY….ITS EXPECTED

HERE IS MY POINT:  If you are in Congress you know what is going on, you know which Congressmen is in bed with certain lobbyists, who is taking free trips, who is being fixed up with call girls, who is molesting  children and etc.  (GET MY POINT?)   Example 3:  Republican DeLay whom was just found guilty of money laundering.  If you do not believe that powerful Congressmen in his party did not know what was going on…….PLEASE…..PLEASE…..e-mail me a picture of yourself…..I need to see what the VILLAGE IDIOT looks like.

MY POINT:  Why don’t Politicians turn in the crooks?  OH!  PARTY FIRST…..COUNTRY SECOND.I just want you to think……I know the answer. 

Oh!…….one more thing…..just to document this…..if a Republican gets in office in 2012.….look for

DeLay to be pardoned.   He knows to much.

   

                   ...............                    15

                                    THE OVER ALL PICTURE

This is what is happening to the AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS.  We are seeing the middle class slowly disappear.  All the statistics will prove this fact.  The Elite in power all know this will happen. As long as 2% of the population control the other 98% of us, this will be inevitable.  Look at the movement that started over 10 years ago with all the company mergers.  Building of the large companies and eliminating more employees each time.  Look at the court decisions all in favor of corporate America. 

I experienced this myself when I was one of eight people representing my industry in a major anti-trust lawsuit.  I remember when a Federal Judge asked the opposing lawyer …What did the other people in our industry think about major networks controlling business.  His answer  (THIS IS KEY)

People on the lower end love it, lower end, being the smaller shops. THINK …….WORLD ECONOMY….LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR  ON LABOR The higher labor country’s,  labor will have to go down.  It will be gradual …..OH!…..Like now….Every day another company ships jobs overseas.

TRY READING BETWEEN THE LINES…..Jobs that will be created will be lower paying jobs…..OH!…..like what is happening now.  THINK:  World economy, merging of companies and tax cuts for the rich. SEE THE PATTERN  

                            ...................     #16

                        ..........       THANKS AMERICA      

YOU JUST PROVED MY POINT:  Tax cuts for the Rich……..the polls showed that the majority of Americans wanted tax cuts for the middle class only.  NOW:  After finding out that it will be additional cuts for the middle class, the large majority are all for it.   Do not worry that your kids will pay for it.

                                   INSTANT GRATIFICATION

This is like a politician avoiding working on a energy policy while he takes big oil contribution for a re-election…..put off the problem ……turn you head…sell yourself.  This is like a border guard taking a $100.00 bribe and selling himself that this is only one crossing. Remember:  On a earlier tweet I mentioned a document from a insurance company that says 84% of people can be steered.     THEY WERE RIGHT

   

                                 ..........        #17

 

      THE TRUE STORY ABOUT THE STOCK MARKET        KEEP IT SIMPLE

Have you noticed how Politicians come on news shows and use the stock market to sell their agenda. When the market is up they say…..see things are getting better in the economy.  They tell you that history tells us that the stock market is always ahead of the real economy.  Plus….they know they can play the brain dead…..THE NEWS.   This statement about the market was true when the market was only based on the US economy.  Now it is based on the World Economy.

SIMPLE EXAMPLE:  Lets say 5 companies have 150 million in sales.  All 5 companies stock sales for $100.00 a share.  All 5 companies have the same payroll of 30 million and all have 2,000 employees.  Somehow ….if all the workers were fired in one day and the labor could start up the next day overseas for 4 million instead of 40 million…….what do you think the stock would do with a increase of 36 million added to the bottom line?  What do you think would happen when 10 thousand more people go on unemployment.  You are getting info from news people that do not have a clue. 

 .........................................   #18

Be suspicious  of what went down in the back rooms of Congress.  Reason:  President Obama negotiated This compromise on tax cuts without Pelosi and Reed.  He always includes them on important issues. Why the suspicion?  President Obama knows if tax cuts  works the Republicans will take credit.  If it bombs he will get the blame? 

Here is what we know:   FACT: President Obama knows he can not be re-elected with the far left.  The 2010 Election proved this point.  FACT: Republicans have a fear that if Palin runs she could divide the Party.   FACT:  Republicans just proved they can control President Obama. Something does not smell right.

WHAT MY MONEY IS ON?

The birth of Boehner’s bitch.

   

         ..........                           ..........  #19

KEY THINGS TO ASK YOURSELF                                                                 IT MAKES YOU THINK    Halliburton……This company has been in the news on numerous occasions for overcharging the Government on products and services.  They have been awarded contacts without even bidding the jobs.  Why has the news not asked high ranking Congressman about this on National TV?

MY POINT:   Go to any business person and ask them how many times they would allow a supplier to screw them?  I have been in business for 25 years and the answer is …..ONLY ONE TIME.   I wonder I wonder how many Congressman or members of there family own stock in these companies?  There are numerous companies that are PRINTING MONEY  because of the war.  Maybe we can get the owner of Wikileaks out of jail for one day to find out. 

             ......................                #20
............................... THE UNTOLD STORY KEEPING IT SIMPLE    

You are in a small town that is one or two blocks long.  The bank, at the end of the street, because of their decisions, caused all the other business to be in financial trouble, including the bank itself.  The Mayor  (Obama) comes in and says to all the people we are going to bail the bank out and we are going to put your financial security up for collegial.  He goes down the street and sees a car dealer and says, I will bail them out,  the body shop, florist and hardware store ……to hell with them.   So when the companies that were not the CHOSEN ONES go under, the owners and there employees are out of jobs trying to survive.  So the bank comes in and says:  We will help….We will charge a higher interest rate on your credit card….since you will need it more that ever.  SCREW THEY A LITTLE MORE The people go to the Politicians in the town and say……this is not fair….we bailed them out.  The Politician says…I can not do anything…they own me.  They give me money when I run for office.

      ..............................           I AM THEIR BITCH

So when the out of work guy needs money and has lost his credit, he (for example) sells his car….needs quick money.  His car was worth $20,000 a year ago, however no one has money except the bank employees.  He sells the car to a bank employee for $5,000 because he is desperate.  The son of another dad that is out of work….says dad….you promised me a car when I turn 16.…which is today.  Tom, my friend’s dad that works for the bank…. just got one. 

MY POINT:  The reason I bring this up is that I experienced the same thing.  I was sitting next to 4 AIG employees in a sports bar.  They were bragging about investing in real estate because the market was down and could get great deals.  They also said that things were not so bad for them because they were buying things for 20 cents on a dollar…

NEWS WILL NEVER GIVE THE WHOLE STORY

   

                   ............                   .........21

A few weeks ago it was reported that 60% of the people were OK with tax cuts for the Rich.

All the surveys  before this showed that 60% of Americans believed we should Tax the Rich.

When the American People found out that they would benefit from the tax cuts, which will be a 2% cut in payroll tax’s, all of a sudden  they were OK with this.  The average American will benefit in the amount of $400.00 to $600.00 a year.  With the tax cuts this will cost the average American $10,000 each in the long run.   WHAT A DEAL

NOTICE……When the tax cuts went through all of a sudden the OIL COMPANIES went up on there prices.   Isn’t it strange that the increase in gas prices at the pump went up  about the same amount that  people will receive  from their tax cut?…WHAT A DEAL

PEOPLE>>>>>START CONNECTING THE DOT’S

REMEMBER:    Transfer of Wealth 

REMEMBER:   Oil Companies own Congress

REMEMBER:    CORPORATE AMERICA is creating larger demand for oil by building the middle classes  in other countries.

REMEMBER:   Corporate America is buying products from China with unfair trade policies which hurt the American people.

OH!……Congress standing back and doing nothing…..they know who butters their bread.

                                 .................22

                         ......              RIGHT AGAIN

USA TODAY just came out with a report ……..Companies are doing everything they can do to get rid of cash - short of hiring people - but the moolah just keeps mountain. 

Largest U.S. Companies are sitting on a record $902.4 Billion.  Companies are boosting Dividends and buying back there own stock with the cash.

PROBLEM:   News people are clueless…….they don’t know there is a difference between small business and large corporations.  They needed this knowledge before the tax cuts. OH!…..anyone seen the show UNDERCOVER BOSS…..isn’t it funny that the CEO’s don’t know what is going on in there own companies……small business owners know what is going on. 

TAX CUTS WENT TO THE WRONG PEOPLE

 

   

                                                     23

                                      SOMETHING TO ASK YOURSELF

A large number of Americans think that the owner of Wikileaks needs to be charged with treason FINE WITH ME, however here is my question.  What trader in our county’s history has done more damage to our country than politicians in the last 20 or 30 years?

They have allowed the biggest transfer of wealth to some of our enemy’s overseas by not having a energy policy that cuts our dependence on foreign oil.   Politicians knew this was a problem however, they turned their heads to the problem while taking money from BIG OIL.

                                       WHO ARE THE BAD GUYS?

....................................................24

.......................................HEALTH CARE COSTS

All I hear on News is Politicians saying we need to cut costs….I agree……does this include their buddies……IN ARIZONA alone their were 5 doctors that have received over $70,000.00 from one major drug company.  There are numerous doctors that have received over $20,000.00 from one drug company. 

Do you think Congress will look for savings here? Major drug companies have high dollar lobbyists……and you know who they own. 

HERE IS ANOTHER QUESTION:   Lets say there was a drug that works within 3 days on a patient and the Doctors  are receiving $70,000.00 for using this drug…….do you think that if another drug came on the market that worked in 2 days  ……they would switch?

Patient vs. $70,000.00.…..hummm I WONDER

Second example…..Arizona News…..Doctor to repay $395,000 to Medicare…..This could have put a few homeless people off the street.  I wonder what congressman he supports?

                                               BILLIONS LOST

A 40 million dollar prison sits in the desert north of Bagdad, empty.  A 165 million dollar children’s hospital goes unused in the south. As the US draws down in Iraq it is leaving behind hundreds of abandoned or incomplete projects.

Do you think Congress will look for cuts here?   FOLLOW THE MONEY Find members of  CONGRESS  that have or their family members that have invested in these companies that have built these projects…….might find some answers. OH!…..Here is another fine example…….SURPRISE…..This is a city in Arizona…..SURPRISE, Accounting goofs total $73 million…..SURPRISE SURPRISE SUPRISE

   

........................................................... 25

                                          POLITICANS PLAYING THE NEWS PEOPLE

Remember a few months ago when Congress announced that they were making changes to the way

Banks would do business? They said the changes would go into affect in several months.  This gave the Banks time to start raising credit card percentages  on the people that bailed them out. 

MY POINT:  A Congress women was on CNN News saying this was not fair what the Banks were doing and she wanted the Congress to make this go into effect immediately.   She stated that she had over 17 or more members of Congress that believed the same as she did and was going to sign up more members of Congress.  THIS IS FREE EXPOSURE to get your face in the news. ……….a politician told  me he did this all the time.  All her constituents would say….ok….she is great….look what she is doing. They will remember when she comes up for re-election.  She knows this story will not come up again.

                                         PLAY THE NEWS

HERE IS THE REAL STORY…….Go back to her on National T.V. and ask why she could not get this done.    Ask her which member of Congress would turn this down and expose himself for not caring about the American People. 

                                                                26

                                                  IN THE NEWS

REPORT TODAY:  China is building a stronger Middle Class at the expense of the American Middle Class.    Chinas Middle Class is keeping their wealth in China……with 4 times the population…..more Demand on oil.  

My Point:  We buy everything from them…..nothing in return…..plus we are helping them build a Stronger Military powerhouse.     

OH!…..Ali Velshi on CNN was plugging investing in China…..does dumb start with an A?

   

.......................................................27

                                        SHRINKING MIDDLE CLASS

As I mentioned the other day about the shrinking middle class in America.  HERE  IS ONE OF THE REASONS…..1970 CEO’s salary packages averaged $700,000.……..25 times the average production worker in America. 

2004  CEO’s salary packages including stock options and other benefits are 500 times the average production worker in America.

German CEOs make 13 times the average production workers in Germany.  Japans CEO’s make 11 times the average production workers in Japan.

                 WONDER WHY THE MIDDLE CLASS IS SHRINKING IN AMERICA?

Read between the lines…..Corporate America needs labor cost to go down in America….News people are to STUPID to know what is going on…..politicians do what they are paid to do….what the Lobbyist tell them.

WHERE YOU GET YOUR NEWS

John King on CNN NEWS made this statement…….Where you get your news could impact your views on the Egypt situation. ……he was comparing several news outlets.  

I  AGREE……stated this before.   Even Spitzer on CNN said that he believes that all news people are bias.

MY POINT…….The News Networks bring in SPIN MASTERS that represent there party’s views. 

So……how is this good for viewers?

What the News People are really saying is……..How do we want to steer the viewers?

                                       CNN STRICKS AGAIN

John King with CNN was interviewing Newt Gingrich.  Newt made a comment ……telling the truth can be Polarizing.  Newt d quoted someone that said………..If you say  2 + 2 = 4 it  can get you  killed ….because Authorities don’t want to here the truth. 

John missed a golden opportunity  …….Why did he not say…..you mean like all the politicians do?

                                                 #30

                                            LEARN TO LISTEN CLOSELY

I was watching the John King Show on CNN when he was interviewing Senator Gram from South Carolina.

John asked Senator Gram what he thought about President Obama’s  handling of the Egypt situation.

Senator Gram knows all the surveys show that the majority of the American People think Obama is doing a fair job on the  handling the Egypt situation.  Grams answer…..I think he is doing a good job handling The Egypt situation, however he missed a good opportunity when handling the Iran situation.  He then  Made the statement …… the President probably learned from his handling of the Iran situation.

This is a trained reaction……..If you have to say something good about someone follow up with something Bad.   This happens with both the Democrats and Republicans spokes people.

BUSINESS 101.….Play the News…..they are not smart enough to catch on.    Listen to all the SPIN MASTERS …..you will see this happen all the time……..Listen to what is not said. 

HERE IS THE KEY:   Remember…..85% of the viewers don’t trust politicians….so what does CNN do? Keep them coming.

                                          A JOB FOR A REAL NEWS MAN

Fareed Zakaria was on CNN talking about all the Corruption of officials in Egypt.   He also stated that President Mubarak has a net worth  of $70 Billion.  

Here is my question for a Real News Person……..Where did he get this $70 Billion? Here is my question to everyone else…….With all the aid we give to Egypt…….what percentage Of  the aid goes straight in the pocket of Mubarak?

Here is another clue to what is happening to the American people.    American companies are making A killing in Egypt……on your money.   Your tax money is paying Mubarak….in return he lets American companies operate in Egypt. 

THINK LIKE THEY DO……you will understand what is going on.

                      NEWS PAPER REPORTS BEFORE THE 2010 ELECTION

Law makers seek cash during key votes.  This was a article talking about Senator Baucuss, Reid and Schumer receiving donations from the financial industry before the 2010 elections.

Does this raise questions about propriety when lobbyist, funds, and law intersect?

OH….Did you here this on the National News Networks?     NO

                                             2nd Article in the Paper

Ex-Politician who served prison time is back on the ballot………Jim Traicant served time for corruption.

POINT……….If Al Capone and Machine Gun Kelly were alive today this is what they would do.  They would be in politics…….    Could rob and steel without carrying a gun.

                                      CNN PROVES MY POINT AGAIN       

I just commented on the situation in Egypt.  I wanted people to think about where President Mubarak was getting his money……..$75 B he is worth. 

CNN reporter said that Egypt received 1.6 Billion in aid last year.  He said that $1.3 Billion went to Defense spending and $250 M went to Aid.  He also said that $20M went to loans to business In Egypt…….you know ….the ones American Banks won’t give our small business people.

The one good thing is that Egypt has to use American contractors with the defense money.

                         LIKE WE CAN TRACK WHERE THE MONEY GOES

                             READ BETWEEN THE LINES PEOPLE

Taxpayers give Egypt $1.6B a year

Egypt buys from American Defense Contractors

Defense Companies give money to Politicians for elections

Mubarak has $250M plus to play with…..

OH….Sorry…..I am sure the $250M goes for aid to the people.   We can tell that by the riots in the streets In the  last few days.

                                       FINANCIAL CRISIS REPORT

The Financial Crisis Report blames Washington and Wall Street for the crisis in America.  The findings also states that it could have been avoided.   Report shows Bernanke and  Gietner were two of the culprits that allowed this crisis to happen.  Here is my question:   Why is it that no reporter has asked President Obama why he would promote two people that helped cause this crisis? 

                         WHERE IS THE MOST TRUSTED NAME IN NEWS?

                  WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO SAY?        

Sweden wants the Wikileak founder, Assange to stand trail in Sweden for sexual misconduct.

Sweden would not send ROMAN POLANSKI, an accused rapist back to the US for rape of a 13 year old American girl.

IM CONFUSSED……Is Sweden saying it is OK to rape an American, just not a Swedish girl?

                                      CNN PARKER/SPITZER SHOW

Guest on the PARKER/SPITZER SHOW on CNN are asked what they would cut out to bring down the deficits. THERE IS THE QUESTION:   Since the Financial Report blame’s Washington and Wall Street

For the crisis, don’t you think the first cut should be……..POLITICIANS SALARIES?

MY POINT:  Nothing happens to the ones that cause the problems.  Wall Street gets the bailouts, And rest of the Country suffers.  (Plus pays the bill)  Geithner and Bernanke get promoted for their Involvement in screwing up the Country…….CEO”s receive bonuses.

        SEE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?              

I believe if CNN surveyed all their viewers, 100% would want SPITZER to ask a POLITICIAN on national

TV if they should cut their salaries since they were part of the problem? I would love to hear the

Answer……….THE SPIN.

        WONDER WHY THEY DON”T ASK?

                                             NEWS FLASH

You will love this…..79% of Grants for WIND ENERGY went to foreign firms. Foreign companies Dominate the stimulus programs that has distributed almost 2.2 billion since September, reimbursing

(we will not here about)  TAX DOLLARS THAT WERE EARMARKED FOR JUMP STARTING THE AMERICAN ECONOMY

                                     SIMPLE SOLUTION TO JOBS MARKET

As you know Cities offer tax benefits for companies to move their business to their cities. Why doesn’t the Government do the same?   If a company has 100 % of their employees in the US,  give them a 15% tax Bracket.   If a company has 70% of their employees overseas put them in a 40% tax bracket.  Think about all the companies that will not be outsourcing?

THE NEWS PAPER REPORTED ………CONGRESS SCOLDS JP MORGAN

JP Morgan……the bank where Madoff kept his clients money, said it had no legal obligation to figure out that the Ponzi Kings investment scheme was a fraud.  WOW

HERE IS MY POINT: 

SCOLD THEM>>>>>>>>>>the pain of it all……what a joke……they have enough money to buy anyone on the panel.

                            CHANNEL 5 NEWS PHOENIX

Since I always get down on the News (with reason) here is one that does a great job, Channel 5 News, Phoenix Arizona.   They have a saying  “TELLING IT LIKE IT IS”.   They also have a segment in the show where viewers call in if they have been scammed or screwed by someone. When the station gets involved……..amazing…….the companies seem to get it right. They are using the power of the news to protect the viewers.  The National News could learn from them.

MY POINT:  When a politician lies on TV, why don’t they call them on it?  Tell the politician in front of a camera that our research shows that you lied.  In elections…..if a politicians runs a negative ad and 50% of the ads are not true…….tell the viewers.                                                                             

                        IF VIEWS CAME FIRST>>>>>>>THIS WOULD BE DONE

OH………I forgot…….these ads make the networks a lot of money.

                             MONEY FIRST……….VIEWERS SECOND

                                       # 44

                            CORRUPTION WHERE IT STARTS      

AGAIN……..every time you turn on the TV or read the news paper some POLITICIAN  is in the news for corruption.  MY POINT OPEN YOUR MIND:   Ever wonder why school books are so high?  Why some districts buy the most expensive books year after year?    Ever heard the word…….KICKBACK         
Remember a few months ago when they caught a Mayor, City manager and other state employees paying themselves million dollar salaries.  That is not counting expenses…..4 night stay costing the state $7,600.00 …….Limo……$2,251.00 and etc. These are the type people that move up the later in politics.

Look at Joe Rangel asking for donations for his legal defense.      Does anyone think that the people giving the donations want be asking for special favors? Why  do you  think there are so many Escort services in Washington?  It’s not the vacation capital of the World. 

                          STAY TUNED FOR CORRUPTION #2

   

                                       # 45     

                                  CORRUPTION #2        

Again……everyday a politician is caught doing something.  This is what most people don’t know. Most people don’t understand how hard it is to catch someone…..when a politician is caught….

Do you believe it is his first time doing something illegal?

Example…….JOE Rangel…..when he was accused  of 13 counts of wrong doing…..several people came on TV and said…….well he has been good for all the previous years.  HOW DO THEY KNOW....HE JUST MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN CAUGHT.

EXAMPLE:   A politician is setting at a table in a bar, another man, let’s say a lobbyist for example is at the table with him and a beautiful young girl comes to the table……the lobbyist tells the Congressman that the girl is a friend and invites her to sit down.  After some time the lobbyist excuses himself and leaves the table…..and the girl stay at the table.  MY POINT:   The lobbyist never says this girl is for you, however the Congressman knows it. The lobbyist pays the girl cash, no trace back to him. Everyone gets something…….impossible to trace any wrong doing.  The lobbyist will ask for his vote On down the road without having to say………REMEMBER WHAT I DID FIR YOU.

                                        THIS IS REALITY

       Have you never heard……Congressmen have never read the bill? 

                                      # 46
WISCONSIN

First of all I need to say…….I don’t really like UNIONS, however after saying that I want to make a point. Don’t get caught up with what is right or wrong or what side you are on when it comes to why the decision was made.  It was not made for the good of the people in Wisconsin.

ONLY THE NEWS PEOPLE ARE DUMB ENOUGH TO BUY INTO THAT Reason for cutting the teacher’s salaries……..they don’t vote Republican …..The Governor is not going to get there vote anyway.  He also climbs the Republican latter for doing this…..meaning funding from the Republican Party for his future run for office.    

     ALL DECISIONS ARE MADE FOR POLITICAL REASONS

    ........HOW DO YOU FORGET?  THEY ARE POLITICIANS

ONE MORE POINT:  If the unions are broken…….you might see teachers coming from India…..Remember when American Companies got a tax break  for training people in India?  You might be hearing……. We could not find enough good people to teach our kids…..so we had to go elsewhere.   In real life……. (CHEAPER) However……I don’t know if this will happen this soon……Americans are not this stupid. 

                                However….it’s coming

          THE OTHER SIDE OF WORLD ECONOMY    

                                                                                  #47

                              How does the 2% look now?

After researching Commodity Futures on the internet and then trying to think like a crook…..I came up with this theory.     Wall Street gambles on what they thank future energy costs will be.  Since they Dominate the market in Energy Futures, I believe they make the prices rise.  There is no competition In these markets which make these prices stay high. 

OH…….guess what……The Big Banks profits will also stay high.  GO FIGURE

Maybe this is why Big Banks hire expensive lobbyist to fight agencies like Commodity Futures Trading Commission.   I wonder how much of the bail out money is used for Lobbyist?

                                       2nd Part

Remember when the majority of Americans in all the surveys believed the Rich should be taxes at a higher rate?  Then when they found out that they would get a 2% deduction on their payroll taxes if the Rich would not have their tax changed,  all of a sudden the majority of Americans changed their minds and wanted to go along with it. 

MY QUESTION TO EVERYONE:  With gas prices going to $4.00 a gallon and the average person saving $400.00 year with that 2% payroll tax cut…….how is the 2% working out? Do you thank a News person will ask President Obama how the 2% payroll tax cut is working out for the American people?     OH…..let’s not even mention the cost of everything else going up in price.

                              THEY PLAYED YOU AGAIN
