Accounting Tricks

I recently read an article in the NY Times (relax, it was linked to me via another site) that spelled out some of the tricks that states are now using to balance their budgets. This is a maneuver that relates to the pension plans. What these states are doing is cutting the future benefits to new employees. While this is a wonderful concept which will net savings in the long run, we are seeing the political hacks manipulate this for present gain. A slight of hand accounting trick is enabling these corrupt public servants to take the future savings in the present budget years, in turn, balancing the budgets.

Once again we see the political class rear their corrupt heads. The problem with his deal is the simple fact that most of these pension funds are underfunded as we speak. In layman's terms, the simply do not have enough money. Of course, the states are in a quandary since cutting any present pension payments results in union lawsuits. Therefore, they need to suck savings wherever else they can. Yet this maneuver allows them to bypass the step of having to cut the present budget. Once again, votes are more important.

We need to step in and straighten out all politicians. The 'kicking the can down the road' should no longer be tolerated. Anyone who sits back and watches this occur is a felon. These people are screwing the present and future generations. This hack in the White House is so bad he belongs tied to a pole and facing a firing squad. Madoff is a said compared to these people. The same holds true for the members of both houses of Congress. There is a body where 535 of individuals should be tried for treason. (For those of you who dont understand that number, that encompasses members of both parties)

The politicians will use any trick to fool the public. Only in government can people argue of the size of the deficit and feel that less bad is good. At the same time, these people are immune from any negative consequences. We need to change that. If jailtime is not in the books for these corrupt people, then we need to look at alternative measures. The revolution is quickly approaching.

A Nations of Wussies

The United States has become a nation of wimps. And this is a trend that is only getting worse. The stupidity of this country is growing at a rapid pace. While most of the country is taking notice of American Idol and Lindsey Lohan, they are missing the important fact that there are fascists in Washington who are raping the American public. These people believe government is the answer to everything. This is no different from many other empires throughout history.

Nature dictates survival of the fittest. Unfortunately, politicians, in their effort to win votes, promise all kinds of handouts to the illiterate. Of course, most of them are too stupid to understand that this comes with a price. The truth is that people are electing to live as slaves. Every freedom that is granted to one is rapidly being eradicated and people have no clue. Talk about selling your soul to the devil.

The truth is that people choose their path in life. If you want to better yourself, there never was a time that it is easier than now. Consider all the information that is free to anyone with an Internet connection. Yet most failed to learn in school so to expect them to continue their education after the fact is unrealistic. That is why many of them are destined for a life of failure and misery.

Our political class likes to call them "less fortunate". We are suppose to feel sorry for these people because they are "unlucky" in their birth. Well, my answer is bullshit. Poverty of any idea starts in the mind and that is where these people live and die. They have no motivation to move forward and make no effort to improve themselves. Thus, the politicians bribe these individuals with all kinds of handouts.

That is why I started posting on this blog again. The real injustice is the thievery committed by a political class that is corrupt. I, for one, hopes that all the bastards and bitches are voted out of office this November. Make them all private citizens and indict them all. They are corrupt and deserve to be jailed (or hung). Treason is an appropriate charge.

It is time for the people to stand up and be adults. Get off you ass and do something with your life. If you want to live as a slave, do not be surprised if people whip you like one. That is how the natural order of things is.

Remembrance

Today is the 9th anniversary of the 9/11 slaughter of 3,000 innocent people. Please take some time today to give some thought to what it all means. In short, because of dogma, 3,000 people lost their lives on that fateful day. This is shows the power of beliefs.

The Burning of the Koran

Have you seen this fruitloop in Gainesville, Florida? Here we have a preacher who wants to burn the Koran (or however the hell you spell it) who wants protest the activities of another religion. Of course, this has all the loons from overseas all upset. The religious factions are drawing the lines in the sand.

My question is why does anyone care what these idiots think? Here is a moronic preacher from a church with an equally moronic clergy looking for attention. These fruitloops are all acting in the name of God.

As I often state, dogma is dogma regardless of the institution that it comes from. What kind of person allows him or herself to be brainwashed by an individual such as this? It must really take a feeble mind to believe this is what God wants. Obviously, there is a church full of these people.

We see a grand controversy brew over the erecting of a Mosque in New York near Ground Zero. All the "patriots" are up in arms that the Muslims are erecting a monument celebrating their conquest. Well, so what. Let them build their building. If you are so Biblical, heed the eye for an eye. Blow the sucker up the day it is completed.

In the end, we are seeing a huge religious war developing. We are now living in a modern day Crusades. Throughout history, no entity caused so much bloodshed as the topic of God. More blood was shed in his name than anything else. Religion serves as a wonderful platform to hide hate and bigotry. This nutcase in Gainesville is no different the Reverend Wrights of the world. They all preach the same hated masked under the guise of religion.

My opinion is to be open about things. If you hate, hate, Do it openly and freely. Shed the dogma that espouses lies. We do not love everyone we meet. Hatred is part of the human condition. Man loves to hate. It is that simple. Allow the free flow of hate and let the fittest survive. This is the true state of affairs. In the real world, the meek get eaten alive.

They Only Care About Power

So the Republicans are going to take back the House and, perhaps, the Senate. Well, whoopie. Does anyone really think things are going to be different? Outside of Sean Hannity who is just an extension of the Republican National Committee, is there anyone with half a brain who believes that things will be different?

Here is the truth: politicians do not care about you nor do they care about what is best for their constituents. They only care about remaining in power. Period. Remember that the next time you vote.

Along the same lines: there is no difference between the two major political parties. Voting for a Democrat is almost the same as voting for a Republican. While their issues might be different, you will find they are the same in the end. What is the difference between Joe Lieberman and John McCain? NOTHING.

Sure, you can make the argument that Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner are miles apart. I would agree. However, when the Democrats are in charge like now, Boehner disagrees. Come January, when Princess Nancy is out on her boney ass, she will be turning up the Nay votes. But, do not forget that each is about maintaining (and growing) power.

The government spends too much money. Obama is hammered for running his deficits. Of course, Bush went through plenty of money himself. What is the difference if the spending is on pork like studying some stupid owl or giving it to Haliburton? Both take money out of your pockets.

As a sidebar, the Republicans cast themselves as the party of smaller government. They like to point to their idol Ronald Reagan. Lest we forget, Reagan spent huge sums of money on defense. Again, it matters none what it is spent on, in the end it comes from working people who pay taxes.

Ultimately, we need to kick all these bastards out of office. If you think you are being represented, then I want to drink your Kool-Aid. In the end, we are all being screwed in the interest of special interest. Taxation without representation. Seems I heard that mantra before.

Labor

I do a lot of reading about financial/economic news as a means of finding investment opportunities (yes I do my own investing...personal responsibility). One of the overriding themes is that this country has lost its manufacturing base over the last 40 years by entering into free-trade agreements with other countries. Of late, China seems to be the beneficiary of our overseas movement of jobs. Their manufacturing base exploded over the last few decades.

The reason why I write this is to counter all those who are posting about how terrible this is. Am I the only one who knows anything about what happened throughout history. Evidently so. Well, I am about to enlighten you. Write this on your forehead so you do not forget it. Work always flows to where labor is cheapest. This is a factoid that seems to surpass many people.

History is riddled with slavery. The reason being is slave labor is the truest for of "cheap labor" there is. You cannot beat receiving work in return for a minimal standard of living. Many countries throughout history created empires by importing slaves. The United States is no exception.

Why are people of today amazed that companies would export jobs to places where it is cheaper? This is man's model. Whenever something can be created less expensively, it is in a companies best interest to follow that path. This often results in lower prices and higher profit margins. And, yes, higher profit margins are a good thing contrary to what the bleeding hearts will say.

People want to try to interject a governmental system into the natural order of events. The belief in the power of the imperial government is misguided. History reveals that government only serves to steal, oppress, and screw things up. It implements laws that impede the natural progress of things.

The simple fact is that work goes to where labor is the cheapest. Get over your resistance to this fact. China benefited for a number of decades. Of course, now since they experienced inflation and the cost increased there, they are finding that manufacturing is leaving for other parts of Asia. Am I the only one not surprised?

Dogma

"What luck for rulers that men do not think" -Adolf Hitler

This is a statement that sums up the masses of all time. We see that now in this country. The argument from the left is for more government while the right holds their Christ dear. What each side doesnt realize is that dogma, regardless of the entity delivering it, is meant to control. While the right feels the growth of government is infringing upon their freedoms, they fail to realize that the religious dogma already imprisoned them.

Dogma is for the weak. It is a methodology that is used to control the masses. People feel they need to be taken care of. For centuries, they turned to the Church. That was the organization that made people feel good. It gave them strength to persevere in times of weakness. Now, we are seeing that people in the U.S. are becoming dependent upon the government. Recent reports have over 35 million people receiving food stamps. Here individuals are relying on the government to provide the most basic need.

Of course, the situation keeps getting worse. Throughout history we saw how cultures imploded. Never was a great empire (read World Leader) conquered from the outside. Instead, they were overtaken by the ills from within. In our time, we see how the oligarchy at the top is ruining it for everyone else. The mindless sheep follow without questioning.

I recently had a discussion with a friend over church and religious dogma. She is a true follower...mindless to the nth degree. Everything they told her she swallowed hook, line, and sinker. She is doing all she can to reach the eternal life for herself. All the time she is missing the present. It is really pathetic to watch.

Slavery is something that most will say they abhor. But, in reality, they actually love it since almost all people are living according to a particular dogma presented. Life is not about "survival of the fittest". Instead, it is about being a wussy and turning to something outside of oneself for help. Grow up. History shows that greatness is something that one finds within oneself. Personal development and responsibility are the anti-thesis of dogma.

We are a weaker nation because of broken belief system. The qualities that made this country great are now passe. Unless the masses wake up, we are creating the same environment that allowed Hitler to rise to power. Fascism, regardless of who is in charge, is nothing more than the masses living as slaves. I fear we are rapidly heading down the same path.
