Rediculous Ads

Some of these rediculas ads you see on the media these days by law firms trying to bilk the public out of their money are A disgrace and ought to be outlawed. They try to make you believe you are entitled to compensation and they will get it for you ,For A price, one example is the ones relating to asbestas Mesathelioma. Then about reverse mortgages. They make it sound like A great deal and all the wonderful things you can do with the money. What they don’t tell you is the with A reverse mortgage you are selling the equity in your home and when the mortgage comes due you will no longer have A home .another is where they have the people telling how much money they saved from what they owed the I.R.S.in taxes.They are talking about thousands of dollars. If these people are telling the truth there is something drasticaly wrong with the system or the people that are running it. What ever these people owe in taxes that is what they should pay . Nobody should be getting any special deals.If they cheated on their taxes and owed that much they should be in jail ,Not saving money.If these kind of deals are really going on some people must be getting A big rake off and we better have an investigation.

Russian Agreement

Obama has signed an agreement with Russia to reduce our arsenal of nuclear weapons as A means to reduce the chances of A nuclear war which sounds good . But with these rouge nations developing nuclear weapons I am not sure we should be reducing ours. Roosevelt said the best way to keep out of trouble is to carry A big stick. The fact that we have them might deter some other nation from attacking us.And we better keep our missel defense system in good order.It would be great to have A peaceful world .But as long as there has been people on this world they have been fighting for one reason or another,In some cases it is religion others it is energy or greed. And economic conditions are not helping.with our medications improving people are living longer. A lot of countries are being over populated and can not produce enough food for the people. If we could eliminate wars we could take care of A lot of people with the money we spend on maintaining our armies and their equipment.And there in no reason why some people should be making millions and billions while others are starving or living in poverty. We could do A lot to adjust that if we would adjust our tax system to level the playing field. My opinion by John Zilverberg

Country In Trouble

Things are drastically wrong at present when we have millions of people out of jobs or living on the edge that would like to have A job at any wage. It seems the cost of living should go down. Instead everything is getting higher priced. All service and repair jobs are costing more. A loaf of bread is costing almost as much as the farmer is getting for A bushel of wheat,Medical and education prices are going through the ceiling. The Unions are asking for higher wages and more benefits. We are creating A society of the haves and the have nots. The haves are doing better and the have nots are getting worse off every day and our country is in serious trouble. We are already seeing protests and riots and things are going to get A lot worse if we don’t get things corrected. Why isn’t congress doing something to correct things? For one thing the biggest share of them are millionaires and multi-millionaires and they make the laws that take care of themselves and their rich friends that put up the money to keep them in office. We need to get this country back on A sound financial basis and level the playing field for the general public.There is no reason why ten percent of the people in this country should have 90 percent of the money. This is supposed to be A democratic country where the majority rules so we should be able to put people that make the laws in office that would do what is good for the country and the general public.

financial problems

We bailed out the big financial institutions on wall street. Now they are making big profits at the expense of the general public. Paying out over 20 billion in bonuses. It is estimated that broker dealer operations will make over 55 billion in profits. All this while our nation is in big trouble and our congress can’t seem to be able to do any thing about it. They have spent over A year haggling over A massive health care bill that looks like A disaster if they do pass it without the means to pay for it. We need jobs so we have people paying taxes instead of drawing unemployment. And we need to revise our tax system by increasing the present tax system on individuals by one percent for every one hundred thousand dollars after the first $250000.00 up to 90 percent. That would get some of that excessive bonus money back into circulation and pay off the national debt that is costing us billions in interest. Our present tax system is producing A class of multi millionaires and billionaires at the expense of the general public. Also we have twenty million illegal emigrants in the country putting A strain on our health care and education systems and competing for the jobs we do have. The S.D. congress has bills to lower the drinking age and to sell liquor on holidays. As if we don’t already have enough drunk drivers on the road killing themselves and A lot of other innocent people .My opinion by John Zilverberg

Joe Stock of Austin Texas thought the I.R.S.had mistreated him. He felt so strongly about it that he set his house afire got in his plane an crashed it into the I.R.S. building killing himself and at least one other person and putting some more people in the hospital. That was an extreme case . But A lot of people seem to feel that way and it is not justified. The I.R.S. has A tough job trying to collect all the taxes to run the government,build our roads ,educate our children ,Maintain an army ,Navy and Marine core to defend us and our nation .Besides all the other benefits we take for granite.How many people do you think would pay their fair share of the taxes if there was nobody to check up on them.Of course we know that A lot of that money we send to Washington is wasted. But that is not the I.R.S. fault.That is the fault of the people we send to Washington to make our laws.Some people want to eliminate the I.R.S. In fact there was even A bill in congress to do that.If you have A problem with the I.R.S. it is usualy your own fault.Sure they make A mistake once in A while .But if you have good honest records there shouldn't be A problem getting things corrected.I have always found them fair to deal with.

This Country Is In Trouble

This country is in trouble, and it is going to be till we get it on A paying basis. We are paying out billions in interest on our national debt The unemployment population increased by about A third last year and job opportunities decreased by about twenty five percent. It is easy to pass tax relief but that wont pay the bills. Tax relief wont do anything for the people with no jobs and no money because they don’t pay any taxes anyway. Tax breaks for companies are good because companies create jobs and people with jobs pay taxes. We demand A lot of services from our government and someone has to pay for them. The people with the money are going to have to do the paying. At the present time some company executives and directors are making more money in one year then the average worker makes in A lifetime. The same goes for popular sports figures and entertainers etc..We need these people that excel in what they do and they should earn more then the average person but not to such an unreasonable amount. All that excessive income is made at the expense of the general public goes into the private bank accounts and out of the economy. My recommended personal income tax increase of one percent on every one hundred thousand after the first one hundred and fifty thousand up to 90 percent would get A lot of that excessive money back into circulation if properly handled invigorate the economy benefit the nation and everybody in it. This won’t be easy because we have too many rich people in Washington making our laws and they are taking care of themselves and their rich friends that are putting up the money to get them elected into office and now that the judges have thrown out the law that restricts the amount of money any person or organization can contribute to A candidates campaign big money is going to be running the show more than ever.

The Cost of Living

Saturday I was listening to A panel of supposedly experts discussing about the effect of the 87 billion stimulus money and if it was getting the job done. I think some of their opinions were influenced by their political affiliation. Evidently it helped the big financial institutions. Some of them seem to have fully recovered and are back to making record profits that might be A sign it saved us from A total recession, but for the ten percent of the people that are out of jobs the recession is getting worse every day they are out of A job. The cost of living is going up and the prices for labor and repairs is going thru the ceiling. A loaf of bread now costs about as much as the farmer is getting for A bushel of wheat. That may be good for the people that have the jobs and are making the money but it is tough on the rest of the people. And is creating A class of destitute people that have to be taken care of and are not paying any taxes. Now the federal judges threw out the law that limited big companies and organizations as to the amount they could spend on political support so now anyone that wants to pass any legislation to benefit the general public will have to buck A lot of big money that will influence the election.
