The poor guy does not have a clue. He thinks that wealth gr4ows on trees, and all you have to do is take it from Peter to pay Paul. And the Paul will vote for you. Wealth must be created. And it must be repeatedly created. Like the tomatoes and okras in my garden. You start taxing my garden and I produce less. You start "redistributing" my okra and I say to hell with that. You grow it and weed it and water it and I'll share yours. The problem is, with a Harvard law degree, these things become impossible to understand. |

KoFFee_ (OP) User ID: 1373078 United States 07/22/2012 11:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why Unemployment Can Kill You Unemployment kills not only dreams and careers, but it also affects the mental and physical health of the unemployed. Just ask people who are unemployed. Lessy Diaz is unemployed. She feels frustrated because she has worked all of her life and now she feels like she is not being a productive member of society. The worst thing, according to Lessy, is to think that all those years of professional development and diligence are worth nothing. Lessy candidly shared how the financial stressors have a toll on her marital relationship. “We struggle to keep the harmony,” she says. According to recent numbers released by the US Bureau of Statistics, the current unemployment rate in the United States is 8.2 percent. The numbers are higher for certain segments of the population; unemployment among Latinos is 11.0 percent and for African Americans is 14.4 percent Yet numbers alone don’t tell the whole story. Studies are confirming the relationship between unemployment rates and rates of overall mortality, especially due to cardiovascular diseases and suicide. In spite of these few studies that present a paradoxical relationship between unemployment and health outcomes, the preponderance of studies seem to agree that one of the most salient effects of unemployment is in the area of mental health with increased depression symptoms, substance abuse, admissions to psychiatric hospitals, death by suicide, and interpersonal violence. If you have friends or relatives who are unemployed, reach out to them; help them feel valuable and invite them to engage in healthy behaviors, like walking or playing sports. You could be saving their lives.

KoFFee_ (OP) User ID: 1373078 United States 07/22/2012 11:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In the 60s President Lyndon Johnson launched the war against poverty: Johnson’s early thinking about the War on Poverty had two primary currents. The first consisted of equipping the poor to take advantage of opportunity while demanding that they then help themselves. On the morning of the State of the Union speech, he explain to former Eisenhower Treasury Secretary Robert Anderson that "What we’re trying to do—instead of people getting something for nothing, we’re going to try to fit them where they can take care of themselves. . . . That’s our program. We don’t want them to get something for nothing. We want to get them where they can carry their own weight" Read more here: [link to presidentialrecordings.rotunda.upress.virginia.edu] However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

If taxes are fees and expenses put on business by government, they are the highest they have ever been. There are thousands of pages of federal regulations that regulate small business. Let's don't even talk large corporations, because we already know they are bribing the most important politicians (head of GE + President Obama). Small business has health care expenses. Unemployment taxes. Workmen's compensation. Social security. Figure in a visit from OSHA at 1% of yearly revenue. You can't make any money. If you somehow manage to make a marginal profit on your start up business, the government will be there to see if you obeyed all the laws. Those passed by Congress, which number hundreds of pages. Or those written by the bureaucracy, pursuant to the laws, that number into the thousands of pages. |

Prices have gone up in everything, but my pay has stayed the same. My employer can't afford to give me a raise. So I have to supplement my income somehow--usually in sales--yard sales, craigslist ads, etc. It's been getting tougher, lately. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

Quoting: Archaic Mason Multiple states have already eliminated their cash assistance programs - even though most paid into it their entire lives. Sickening. What is happening is that states, the federal government, city governments, county governments, and international governments are all spending above their means. That means they are coming looking for you, if you are not lazy and shiftless. If you are lazy and shiftless you are valuable only as a voter. If you actually work for a living, they want an increasing percentage of your pay. They made promises to public employee unions they could not keep. They floated bond issues to build shit. It failed to produce the revenue. They simply wasted your tax $. But they are not apologetic. They want more, so they can spend it to ameliorate poverty and put food in another man's belly. Even though he just got finished fathering his sixth out of wedlock welfare brat. It's just too late. You can't have as many people on government assistance as you have working -- actually working. |
