"How productive are the 1/10 of 1 percent, for whom the 1% work? I would like Mr. Allison to admit he was never in it for the little guy, he was all about his position, power, and making $$ for the majority shareholders, the super rich.
What a total crock, for these guys to start whining about public perception.
On the other hand, why is Bloomberg, still owned by Michael Bloomberg, a billionaire, going after the Fed, and now this? Is he attempting to exploit class warfare in preparation for a new global currency?"
The New World Order that Bloomberg and the super rich are creating is just an electronic form of feudalism, which never really went away. Liberalism ultimately countered feudalism. Globalism may be a little tougher nut to crack.
As an aside, my Ron Paul bumber sticker went on the POV this morning, to a mostly appreciative reception on the commute to work. Even if elected RP will have his work cut out, restoring a constitutional government as a separate but equal branch of a government accustomed to using the bill of rights as toilet paper.

BOOMERS EATING FROSTED FLAKES FOR DINNER, CAN ALPO BE FAR BEHIND? « The Burning Platform
In response to ,BOOMERS EATING FROSTED FLAKES FOR DINNER, CAN ALPO BE FAR BEHIND? « The Burning Platform
Yeah, that’s before you throw in all the cosmic BS with the Mayans. You really have to hand it to the Devil, he’s no dumb ass. There’s likely no disagreement on this forum that the world is being duped by a global conspiracy of Trilateralists, but I don’t know how many understand that not only is the conspiracy real, but the chief conspirator is the Devil. I would expect that while all may agree the conspiracy exists, the delineation of those who believe as I do, that Satan and the Devil are behind it all, falls principally along the same lines as those who profess to be Christian.
While It really doesn’t matter what you believe, it’s going down anyway. The difference is what one perceives is the answer to the world’s problems.

Incredible Arrogance of President - Survivalist Forum
In response to, Incredible Arrogance of President - Survivalist Forum
No difference between Repubs and Dems in this one, except Ron Paul. We would be right where we are today even if McCain had won. He's a CFR globalist, and wouldn't even be considering taxing the rich. Income and wealth disparity is what got us here, and unless and until that changes, nothing else will.

BRANDON SMITH ON SURVIVAL PREPARATION « The Burning Platform
In response to: BRANDON SMITH ON SURVIVAL PREPARATION « The Burning Platform
I haven't heard .223 mentioned as a standard round. Even my hunting rifle is a smaller caliber than .30/7.62.
Water, food, self defense, shelter and clothing, these things will be in short supply. Preppers will actually help keep things more calm than otherwise in a collapse, because the criminal element will be at a disadvantage against a well armed citizen able to defend their families.
The real threat is organized gangs and the federal government. It may be hard to tell the difference in a collapse. Hopefully, organizations like Oath Keepers will keep the military in check.
When they come for me, I'm going to make it hell for them. I'm not going to a detention center, and if internet censorship happens, an internet kill switch, cell service jamming, etc, I already know everything I need to know to fight back. There's hundreds of thousands of former military, hunters, and preppers, maybe millions who will stand between the feds and an authoritarian police state. Bring it on bitches. We'll settle our grievances politically and lawfully. America is not a battle field, unless our government goes rogue and makes it one.

Ron Paul And The Coming Great Depression - Survivalist Forum
In response to, Ron Paul And The Coming Great Depression - Survivalist Forum
The rats are in full panic mode, including Krugman, who has no credibility.
The rest of the world, especially Russia and China aren't going to capitulate to the US federal government, and the only way the US gets out of spending into oblivion is world domination in which they control everything. Since that isn't likely to happen, war is the most likely thing to happen.
So, Trent has a choice, reign in federal spending and the federal government, or risk world war. He's says by doing so we risk a depression, which the good LadyFenix aptly points out we're already in, it's just the near boiling frogs haven't gotten it yet. One could argue, risking depression is better than risking war.
Trent, which are you for, settling things by warfare, or settling them politically and economically? The socialist welfare state is dying. How do you propose we fix it?
Do yourself a favor and don't listen to Krugman, he's an idiot.

Top 1 percent of tax returns paid 36.7 percent of federal individual income tax - Shooting Sports Forum
In reponse to: Top 1 percent of tax returns paid 36.7 percent of federal individual income tax - Shooting Sports Forum
The effective tax rate of the 1P is historically low, around 18%, as shown here, http://paul.kedrosky.com/archives/2011/12/us-tax-rates-in-three-graphs-not-boring-really.html
That's not even bringing into account the negligible taxes that US corporations pay. What did the middle class get for all those tax breaks?
The constitutional role of government is two fold, provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare (weal = wealth).
It's not that the 1% aren't paying taxes, they are. It's corporations that aren't because they bought off the Congress. Follow the money, there's the source of income disparity in the US, tax free corporate profits. When it all funnels to the 1%, that's what you get.

You're right, small business is the backbone of the economy. But, corporations are a legal entity, and where they were paying roughly half of the tax burden in 1980, they're now paying about 5%, without any corresponding cuts in spending. Where did the money go? Right into the pockets of the 1/10 of 1% of households, and the 1% they support.
Here's an article on individual taxes, http://paul.kedrosky.com/archives/2011/12/us-tax-rates-in-three-graphs-not-boring-really.html
So, while the middle class has had stagnant wages since the 70's, the top tiers have been doing quite well, thank you. The only problem it the party was thrown using borrowed money, and now the bills are coming due.
Retail in the US may as well have a "going out of business sale" in January. Then comes the commercial leg of the real estate bust. And another round of TBTF bailouts from the Fed. It might work, but I'm not counting on it.
