Wall Street trick deal cost US $560 million in taxes
Accordia Life (Goldman Sachs) has avoided
$560 million in taxes that we will have to pick up from just one deal in
buying annuities of Athene née AvivaUSA (fmly UK’s Commercial Union). Some people bought annuities which are supposed to be
backed by real bonds/securities but are now backed only by promissory notes
from one subsidiary shell back to another. Aviva, Goldman and others have taken
out billions of real cash leaving $1.7 billion to cover for the $7 billion
required by insurance law. They use empty shells (captives) and tax havens and
smiling state “regulators” to evade taxes. There are probably thousands of
deals like this which cost US over $1 Trillion—adding to deficit.

Compounded Cash: Save 40% with your self-funded “bank”
How do the wealthy double their funds every 10 years?
How do they buy airplanes and villas for 40% less?
The wealthy know something you don't know—compounded
cash. They put their money to work so they don't have to work. They
invest in growing companies selling everything from oil to watches. Each of
their $100 investment checks turns into $1,500 over time. They pay $24,000 for
their $55,000 vehicle; $2.2 million for their $4 million mansion. Learn how to
pay less: http://www.amazon.com/Compounded-Cash-Save-your-Self-Funded/dp/1515066096/
Do you use the Buffett
investment strategy or your broker’s?
See how it works: http://www.saferchild.org/power/
He told Reuters: "A
very low-cost index is going to beat a majority of the amateur-managed money or
professionally-managed money."
Average investors earned just 3.79% using a paid “advisor”
while investors holding low-cost index funds (0.05%) earned 11% since 1983. Dalbar.com

DEM crazies
Bernie says “Jeb’s wealthy donors have contributed
over one hundred million dollars to his Super PAC. This is not
a democracy. This is oligarchy.” A few wealthy people run the country for their
“life, liberty and pursuit of their happiness.” Not ours. Billionaire
benefactors have bought up the private sector and in 2016 they may buy a
presidential election. It happened in 2000, it can happen again. Supremes could
throw election again
Bernie thinks he can win just because people showed up for
his rallies and more people (NOT corporations)
have contributed to his campaign than to any other candidate running for
president, Democrat or Republican. Crazy!
College tuition assistance bill
GOP will never approve of kids going to college for FREE
like they, the Congress people did. Most got full “scholarships” to Ivy League
via “connections.”
Will GOP let Obama try peace
with Iran?
“Trust but Verify” R Reagan said.
"Every path to a nuclear weapon has been cut off,"
President Obama declared in Washington . Addressing
critics in Congress and Israel
who say Iran
can't be trusted to honor the agreement, Obama said the deal is not just built
on trust but "on verification."
GOP wants to bomb Iraq ,
Iran , Syria ,
etc etc.
Should we give peace a chance? We can always go back to
sanctions and bombing.
GOP crazies
Trump has “debate” slot but Donald doesn’t debate--Trump is a
shouter/boss. “You’re fired!” He
threatened drug lord El Chapo and got a threat back.
Can you see him as commander of the millions of nuclear
weapons?
GOP and Obama agree—both speechless—deficit down 14%
Our budget deficit
shrank by $52 billion, or 14 percent, during the first nine months of the
2015--tax receipts grew faster than spending, the CBO said. GOP stopped
hitting Obama on economy.
Jeb is right?—we already work longer hours FOR LESS MONEY
Working 70 hours vs 60 (1969). http://www.bls.gov/opub/working/data/chart17.txt
The $4.03-an-hour rate recorded in January 1973 has the same purchasing power
as $22.41 would today. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/10/09/for-most-workers-real-wages-have-barely-budged-for-decades/
OK GOP calls food stamp recipients animals
Defying the gospel message of “I was hungry and you gave me food”,
OK Republicans posted to Facebook their message: help
people and you make them animals.
TX Gov asks Guard to still monitor invasion/takeover
by US Army
McCarthy-style
fear factor gives GOP power to keep money flowing to defeat Obama
(“Hitler”) and their own ‘government’ threat: Army to “launch psychological
operations to infiltrate society. Others maintained tunnels would be built to
move troops and arms for surprise attacks on civilians.”
Hard to believe that people believe this stuff. Just like in
the 50’s when GOP McCarthy used the label “communist” to stir fear among
Americans. He called Lee J Cobb, Aaron Copland, Zero Mostel, Henry Morgan and
Edward G Robinson ‘commies.’
Is a Zero percent auto loan right for you?
Sounds too good to be true. You think you can get a great
new car and NO finance charge too. The catch: no more than 10 percent of people
qualify. The point is to get you sold—at any price. You have high payments
because you get 3 years not 6 to pay. Dealer will make up the interest cost
with add-ons and extras you might have received free before. If you have great
credit, you might receive more in the cash back with your credit union loan.
Get a bank loan approval first so you have leverage with the
car you really want. Actually, the best deal may be getting your loan on a
higher value car that has already proved defect-free—used luxury. Save up to
40% on a 3-year old model luxury hybrid version. Value = quality at the right
price: http://www.amazon.com/Buy-Value-financial-services-groceries/dp/1489513078
Buy Value and smile all the way to your new home
You could pay $500 a month for your vehicle but over 6 years
that could grow to $50,000—a
home down payment. Here are the Cheap COOL Rides: Toyota MR2, Alfa Romeo
Spider, Mazda Miata, Mercedes
CL500, Dodge D150 truck, Mercedes ML430, Toyota Tacoma, Mercedes 300SD.
Government program may offer better mortgage rates
Unlike conventional mortgages, you don’t have to have great
credit or a long credit history to qualify. In most cases, you can even get a
USDA home loan with a small
down payment – or no down payment at all — as long as you don’t have
considerable assets to your name. And unlike most low- or no-down-payment
mortgage programs, you don’t need to be a first-time home buyer to take advantage of USDA loans. Not
for city lots: http://eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov/eligibility/welcomeAction.do

ObamaCare is a hit with insurance salespeople
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services estimates
that more than 77,000 brokers and agents assisted with enrollments on the federally-facilitated
marketplace in year two open enrollment, up 46% from the year prior. About 6.6
million U.S.
taxpayers paid a penalty imposed for the first time this year for not having
health insurance, about 10% more than the Obama administration had estimated –
though a portion didn’t need to.

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 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 kill. Iraq 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.
GM murdered 114 people but not even indicted
The official death toll from faulty ignition switches they
knew about 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!
Honda Finance caught charging you more
Honda’s past practices resulted in thousands of
African-American, Hispanic, and Asian and Pacific Islander borrowers paying higher
interest rates than white borrowers for their auto loans, without regard to
their creditworthiness. As part of today’s order, Honda will change its pricing
and compensation system to substantially reduce dealer discretion and
minimize the risks of discrimination, and will pay $24 million in restitution
to affected borrowers.
