Our ‘reps’ allow companies to avoid paying fair share—workers
pick up debt
Tax rules
written by people paid for by American multinationals give them enormous
incentives to park
their earnings outside the United States even without using a fake address
like Pfizer. Executives are doing what is rational for themselves but it means
that those of us who work in US are forced to tighten our belts, receive fewer
services and mortgage our future with debt to China

Where our “Reps” put their investments—with tax evaders!
30 percent of senators and 20 percent
of representatives "held assets in biomedical and health-care companies,
or in specialty funds set up to invest in those industries, during 2014." The
investments totaled upward of $68 million—more than lawmakers' combined
investments in the defense and construction industries—and
were concentrated on such major multinationals as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and Merck. While this may
appear to be a conflict of interest, there is nothing illegal in this practice.

Should America
limit the prices we pay for drugs and devices?
Martin Shkreli hasn’t changed. If anything, the provocative
pharmaceutical CEO — who became “the most hated man in America” earlier this year — thinks he
didn’t go far enough when he hiked the price of Daraprim by more than 5,000%
overnight. “I would have raised prices higher,” Shkreli vowed on Thursday,
after being asked how he would re-do the past three months. “That’s my duty.”
Maximize profits for wealthy owners or keep price within range of average
American who needs it? This is our challenge.
We pledged:
“Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of
Happiness” The phrase gives three examples of the "unalienable
rights" which the Declaration says has been given to all human beings
by their Creator, and for which governments are created to protect.
But if only the rich can afford drugs that give life, are we
hurting ourselves?
Are drugs—good health—any different than utilities or water?
Congress Prepares Huge Tax-Break Giveaways for 2015
Despite GOP
whining of overspending, they give
tens of billions of dollars in tax breaks and other goodies to just about
every conceivable interest group – from well-heeled corporate executives and
film producers to rum makers, NASCAR track owners, and horse breeders. None of
these breaks are paid for—our “reps” just add $87 Billion to the credit card
like the wars they never declared in Afgan , Iraq Syria

Vanguard is eating Wall Street’s bonus
Vanguard mutual funds – investing in no-sizzle index funds

business from Wall Street firms at $20 Billion less profit this year alone.
Their loss is your gain.

Is a hedge fund or alternative investment right for you?
Billionaire investor William Ackman's Pershing Square
Capital Management hedge fund lost 2 percent in November and ended the first 11
months of the year with a 17 percent
loss. On the other hand, if you had gone with Vanguard’s 500 index fund you
would be up by 3% for the year and up 13%
a year for 5 years and 11% a year since 1976.

Does our President need to be rational and truthful?
NO It’s
entertainment like Apprentice—fake calamity for money!
“I won’t do the debate unless they pay
me $5 million; it goes to wounded warriors vets.”
Cruz: "The overwhelming majority
of violent criminals are Democrats." They vote?
Fiorina: “I will not be bullied into telling the truth.” RE:
rant on “baby
parts” channeled by CO gunman on
Planned Parenthood?
Trump: tirade on immigrants channeled by Boston
thugs beating up homeless?
Christie: “It didn’t happen and people
can say anything, facts are the facts.” Right!
Cruz: Planned Parenthood attacked by “leftist
activist”!
Bachmann: 70 percent of refugees are “gang-age
males” who rape non-Muslim women.
Obama: “No boots on ground” BUT sending special forces do raids,
free hostages and capture ISIS leaders in both Iraq and Syria. Don’t they
wear boots?
We need regulation—GOP is wrong—companies would not fix
bad products on own
Regulators stop drug company patent abuse: “Some patents and
extensions to patents represent
an unreasonable use of government regulation to enshrine monopoly power to the detriment of the public
at large,” Mr. Bass said. “This system must be
fixed or we will continue to pay
more and more for the same old drugs we’ve been
buying for decades.” Generic drugs are bought out so we pay higher price and for longer time.
Wells Fargo caught encouraging employees to open
unauthorized consumer accounts and then
charging
those accounts phony fees to meet sales.
Clarity Services and Tim Ranney caught illegally
obtaining consumer credit reports.
Alpha Fiduciary and Arthur T. Doglione caught misleading
clients with high returns.
Regulators: Any person on anti-terrorist "no fly"
list can still buy assault weapons. WoW
Even Daily
News is upset
with lack of any legislation to stop our mass murders!
Persistent inequality hurts economic growth over the
long run
Brilliant deduction by Morgan Stanley who sees it undermines
incentives to work hard, get more education and improve skills. It may undermine trust in policy makers and
social institutions, and lead to economic policy solutions such as increased
market regulation, protectionism and anti- immigration measures. "In
contrast [to post WWII years], middle-class
aspirations are now running up against the wall of job and retirement
insecurity." Advice: “That will benefit companies such as Nestle (Swiss),
which is successful in catering to both higher- and lower-income customers.”

Do you have one? 7 cars buyers regret buying most
Consumer
Reports’ annual survey of 230,000 car owners reports six other less
obvious vehicles that led to a miserable experience. The seven cars from each
category they rank are:
· Jeep Compass, which exists only to tell other
people you make poor life
· The Nissan Quest minivan, slammed for bad
visibility and a frustrating CVT
· The Mercedes-Benz CLA, which—surprise!—feels
cheap
· The Nissan Altima, called “horrible” and “irritating”
for its handling
· The Hyundai Veloster, which felt cheap and
underpowered
· The Nissan Frontier, dinged for bad fuel
economy and a terrible turning radius
· And the Kia Rio, blasted for worse fuel
economy than advertised and a harsh ride
HOW CONGRESS WASTES OUR TAX DOLLARS
Special Inspector General John F. Sopko has spent years
documenting waste, fraud and abuse in the U.S.
military’s efforts to rebuild war-torn Afghanistan .
We
have spent $110 billion on reconstruction projects in Afghanistan .
When adjusted for inflation, that total exceeds the value of the entire
Marshall Plan effort to rebuild Western Europe , WWII.
=More than $8 billion in spending on counter-narcotics
efforts in Afghanistan
that have “failed by every conceivable metric. Afgans grow poppies like we grow
corn.
=The purchase of nearly $500
million worth of airplanes that never could fly and had to be turned into
scrap.
=Construction of a building
that literally began to melt when it rained.
A
$500,000 health clinic that lacked water and electricity. Newborn babies
had to be washed in a nearby dirty river.
Pentagon's $2.7-billion "zombie" program of
radar-equipped blimps wreaked havoc on parts of the East Coast. Despite
its well-documented deficiencies, lawmakers from both parties are planning to
continue funding the system.
Do contributions to lawmakers have anything to do with
it?
