Corporations that use our money, laws, courts, police, army,
etc owe US $695B
Our corporations are hiding cash so they can avoid
paying their fair share. Profits reported by American corporations to the
IRS as earned in tax havens were actually earned in the United
States . But large corporations use
accounting gimmicks (most of which are allowed under current law) to
make profits appear to be earned in tax haven countries. In fact, a 2014 CTJ
examination of corporate financial filings found U.S.
corporations collectively
report earning profits in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands that are 16 times the
gross domestic products of each of those countries, which is clearly
impossible. $695Billion is the cost of our Defense Department for one
year.
Why do our “Reps” let these gimmicks continue to be used? Could it be election money?

Mutual fund fees are frying our retirement nest eggs
Blackstone CEO Schwarzman took home $810.6
million in 2015. What did he do for that? My mid cap growth mutual fund at
Blackstone lost 5.79% in 1 year as of Jan 2016. It had the lowest
3-, 5- and 10-year return of its class. It costs 1.39% a year to own and
the broker took 5.25% right off the top. My ETFs did not do as well. If I had
gone with Vanguard’s index version with 0.09% fees and no broker, I would have
lost less and averaged 11.97% since 2011. The broker said Blackstone was the
best--“Best at frying!”

Our mistakes can be corrected, but first we must admit them,
like Buffett does
Believe it or not, Warren Buffett, one of the greatest
investors of our time, makes mistakes. Contrary to what Wall Street does,
he admits them and changes his behavior. In his letter to his owners (http://berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2015ltr.pdf,
p 16, he tells how he messed up. Our brokers/advisors never do that. He
explains that he misjudged a company’s and or market’s potential. Yet he is
able to recover and has other businesses that have returns of over 20% per
year. Great investors admit mistakes. He tells us to buy assets with a margin
of safety so when things don’t go well we haven’t lost all our money. His
advice is to pay less so we earn more. Simple investing works best.

GOP’s Koch is right—our system is stacked against working people
New report shows that college
grad from poor family earns less than college grad from rich family.
Working hard does NOT get us the American dream—only a downsized version. The
notion that education by itself can break the poverty cycle is flawed, just as
is the related idea that school reforms can be successful by ignoring the
conditions in which kids live and attend school. Rich college kids earn 162%
more than HS grads compared to 91% more for poor college kids. Koch
recently said Sanders was correct about a rigged system. College is now
minimum education since HS classes fail to prepare us for middle-income jobs. Get
a boost from Tax-FREE earnings like the rich.

GOP ends our pay raises in AL ,
IN, MI MZ
Last Tuesday, Birmingham , AL ,
raised the wages to $10.10 and the state GOP lowered it back to $7.25 on
Thursday. GOP made it law—bars cities and counties from raising wages. Dem
Senator said, “bills like this keep
people poor." Michigan , Missouri ,
and Indiana have already banned
local minimum wage increases. Yet we give our taxes as subsidies to our employers
who pay only $7.25. Can you live on $200 a week after taxes? Why do the poor
re-elect GOP to cut their wages? The median retirement savings of 55- to
64-year-old Americans was just $14,500 in 2013. Social security benefit
averages $1,341.
Can you live on that?

GOP cannot deport 11 million immigrants—their taxes pay for
state/local gov
Recent study:
"the data show undocumented immigrants greatly contribute to our
nation's economy, not just in labor but also with tax dollars." States
such as Idaho and New
Mexico report undocumented ownership
rates as high as 46 percent. "The undocumented are actually paying a higher percentage of their income
toward local and state taxes than the
people in the top 1 percent," said analyst Erika Nava. From 1996 to
2003, undocumented workers paid a combined $90 billion into both Social Security and Medicare.

Do you have the Woman’s Retirement Account?
Women have a substantially lower income in retirement than
men and the older they are the worse the situation, says the National Institute
on Retirement Security (NIRS) in a report released Tuesday. Women age 65 and
older have 25
percent lower income than men and by the time they reach 80 the gap widens
to 44 percent, according to the report. Women between the ages of 75 and 79 are
three times more likely than men to live in poverty, the study said. The IRS
has a special account that allows tax-FREE gains and tax-FREE income so
that you can make up for your reduced income by avoiding income tax. Instead of
paying 15-25% in income tax, you can spend ALL your nest egg.

GOP Religion uses ploy to end safe abortions
TX is closing women’s health clinics whether they do
abortions or not. Clinics that provide most of the health services (exams,
screenings, and ambulatory care) are being shut by GOP Religionists using the hospital
surgery standards mechanism. It is like closing CVS flu shot pharmacies
because they are not equipped to do open heart surgery. The new Supremes are going to decide if
this is fair to TX women. Most clinics do tiny number of non-surgical
abortions after extensive counseling required by TX already. Is this different
from the government deciding about our health care when the GOP decides to end ObamaCare?
GOP Religion could return American women’s health delivery
back to 1940s.
One of the Supremes asked: What
is the benefit to the woman of a procedure that is going to cure a problem of
which there is NOT one single instance in the nation?"
It is clear from the hearing that the GOP is making up a
problem as an excuse for closing women’s health clinics just as they do about
voter ID laws to solve problem of voter impersonation which does not exist
anywhere. People just don’t bother to stuff ballot box.
