How much do you subsidize American business?

How much do we pay to subsidize American businesses?
We give money to the oil and gas industry, farm conglomerates, and exporters. We pay more for medicine than the world. We pay banks and most corporations' tax and penalty bills. Overall, American families are paying an annual $6,000 subsidy to corporations that have doubled their profits and cut their taxes in half in ten years while cutting 2.9 million jobs in the U.S. and adding almost as many jobs overseas.

Do you know how much to contribute to your pension so you have enough?
Use the Buffett strategy to reach your goal. My first video: Maximize your pension. The 2nd video shows you how much you will have in the future given the amount you add monthly, the number of years, and the average return on your investments. You estimate your Social Security benefits and add your current accumulation at work or IRA. The answer is translated into the inflation-adjusted amount you can receive in retirement. Interactive so you can change your future income now!

Get What You Want: Your SIMPLE FINANCIAL PLAN in 5 steps
I've been rich and I've been poor, rich is better--Sophie Tucker.
The 21st century has brought us a new way to become financially independent. The digital age has changed the way we buy everything—financial products and services too. You no longer need to overpay an agent, broker, advisor or banker to get the best financials. Save on financials and create wealth.


GOP crazies
Trump: I didn't expect business backlash to be "quite this severe." Reality is Donald is not really in touch with America—he is spoiled billionaire who only relates to deals! America is NOT a deal. America is people. For example, he got NYC to pay $127 million for the  Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point, the Bronx but has not kept his promise to build a playground for (Hispanic) residents. He has strange supporter groups! His PAC, Make America Great Again, says in its filings that it “intends to raise funds in unlimited amounts.” Many see Trump renaming WH, Trump House.
Foreign countries/corporations may be Donald Donors—we will never know.

Palin, former Gov, former Veep, former FoxTV, giving her TV channel FREE
Now you can watch her for FREE. “I just want to make sure that your voices and mine are heard by the widest possible audience across this great land of ours. I really look forward to continuing to hear your ideas and your dreams and your solutions for America.”

Koch brothers PERC call for no more national parks.
Koch-backed Property and Environment Research Center (PERC) call for no more national parks, citing the backlog in maintenance for existing parks. PERC has a long history of advocating for the privatization of America’s national parks and other public lands, and has significant ties to the Koch brothers and fossil fuel industries. PERC and its oil and gas allies have also ramped up involvement in an extreme right wing campaign to give control of America’s public lands to the states and sell them off to the highest bidder.

Jeb’s econ policy for America: “people should work longer hours” -- a comment that the Bush campaign argues was a reference to underemployed part-time workers. Jeb is out of touch with reality—part-time work is what is available for many people. Jeb has no policy to fix American infrastructure.

GOP wants to fly the treason flag in our national parks
Yes, it is hard to believe but Boehner’s flock got Calvert to insert page to a funding bill. Dems complained and he withdrew. SC put treason flag in museum as Robert E Lee asked in 1865. New South needs new symbol!

DEM crazies
Sanders will raise taxes on wealthy: Wall Street speculators, off-shore corporate earnings and major financial institutions would all be on the target list, Sanders said.

Will you live to be 116?
World’s oldest person is 116 but she has no pension. Make your money last as long as you do. Use Buffett’s secret so your investments keep on giving income that keeps pace with inflation. Inflation makes everything cost twice as much in about 25 years. http://www.amazon.com/Warren-Buffetts-Investment-Secret-Steeple/dp/1484189809

How insurers know about your situation (more than you know)
Did you lie on your insurance application? First, when you apply for any insurance, you are making statements that an insurer can use to cancel your coverage if they want to. Second, insurers may use all your statements and hidden electronic information (Internet, buying habits, credit, housing, crime, social records, etc) to verify your profile. E.G.: If you don’t mention your dog on app for homeowners, satellite/drone or grocery loyalty gives you away. Chronic headaches not mentioned on app for life cover is compared to your pharmacy/loyalty records. Third, interviews with people who know you may be done. Once the insurer marks your profile as liar, they hire investigators for “truth.”

Ford sending another 4,000 jobs to Mexico
Ford has reportedly decided to move production of the C-Max and Focus from Michigan to Mexico. The company promises to not close the facility, which employs approximately 4,000 workers, however the Focus and C-Max are currently the only vehicles that roll off its assembly lines.
 

SCAMS           Can we afford to keep paying $700 Billion a year for WWII deployments? That is 27 cents of each dollar in taxes—the largest part of our money—and we aren’t even at war. We could pay off our debts and fix our schools, roads and bridges! We are paying for 164,253 of our active-duty armed personnel to be in 150 countries around the world. We have about 50,000 in Japan and 50,000 in Germany.
We are spending $8 million per HOUR on our wars in Iraq/Afgan
The War on Terror requires special forces attacks on top terrorists at their homes like Obama’s al-Amr May14 Abu killIraq proved converting a nation to Western-style republic doesn’t work. The troops we trained ran away, left our stuff. Training and more stuff for what? Former Saddam army now ISIS. We are wasting $4 billion a year on Afgan tribal rivalries; paying ransom to Al Qaeda; supporting corruption with our money.

We are building another military base for Japan at Henoko. Air Force Gen. Ronald Fogelman admitted that the Marines “serve no military function there. They don’t need to be in Okinawa to meet any time line in any war plan.”

Are we preparing for WWII again? There are 1,208,083[1] armed personnel in the United States. Our taxes pay for about HALF of the WORLD’s military expenditures every year. We have wasted $398.6 billion so far on the F-35 program—they can’t fly safely.
We just can’t afford to pay for everyone else’s defenses anymore.
Japan, Germany and S. Korea can pay to defend themselves.
GM murdered 114 people but not even indicted
The official death toll from faulty ignition switches in General Motors small cars has risen to 114. GM has made “compensation” offers to 245 other victims’ families. NO ONE is going to jail despite the cover up!

Brokers overcharged you for a long time
Wells Fargo, LPL, Raymond James must collectively reimburse customers more than $30 million for failing to waive mutual fund sales charges for thousands of accounts.

Even “professional” financial managers fall for con--“Trust but verify” Pres Reagan
Hedge fund manager, Thomas Meston, Fortelus Chief Financial Officer fell for “this is your bank calling and we need you to give us your codes to fix account.” Never respond to bank or IRS call or email without confirmation.

Daniel Fernandes Rojo Filho, DFRF Enterprises, claimed to operate more than 50 gold mines in Brazil and Africa, and stole $6 million in a Ponzi scheme to swindle members of the Spanish and Portuguese communities in Massachusetts and Florida. Promoters promise their money would be fully insured.

Neal Goyal as Caldera Advisors and Blue Horizon Asset Management jailed for 6 yeas for stealing $11 million in a Ponzi scheme promising high returns with fake accounts.
