If guns are out-lawed. Only the Out-laws & politicians will have guns.
They're probably his wife's homes. She got rich by virtue of being
the daughter of a mobster. (daddy took the rap for the head mobster of
Arizona, served time, and was rewarded with a big beer
distributorship) It was valued at $200 mill, back in 2000. She got 37%
of it.
Dumb guys can be just as capable as smart guys at following orders.
Imo, the Rockefeller Empire controls both candidates. Foreign policy
will be directed by either Zbigniew B., or Kissinger, both long-time
servitors of the Rockefellers.
Cabinet posts will be filled with Trilateral Commission members and/or
CFR guys.
THe same Wall Street gang (Goldman Sachs and such) will serve as econ
advisors
regardless of who sits on the throne. (Imo, in the US, changing
presidents is little more than changing of the guard)
".....You know, by the time you become the leader of a country,
someone else makes all the decisions." ~Bill Clinton speaking in
Ireland (August 1998)
an accurate assessment.... and that goes on even over the violent
protests of the people.
The historical solution has been a total collapse of the working
class, then due to insufficient tax base to fund
military operations and govt, collapse of govt... the markers of
this final stage are well known. Importing slave labor, as the
currency is debased and wars are begun to seize the assets of other
nations.
Such wars generate enemies on a 360 degree perimeter and incite those
brough in to do the heavy labor to viiolence... such attack is not
remotely defensible... the nation collapses.
The reboot cycle used to take 2 or 3 generations, in the past hundred
years, its down to a generation or so.
These are not to be confused with the more comon depression cycles...
these are national life cycles (at approx 5 generations, the last one
having become terminally corrupt).

I hadn't heard that McCain wants to curtail the medical welfare for the
wealthy.
I've always appreciated having that $10-12k/yr in tax free benefits, but
wondered why it was primarily a perk just for the upper income groups.
On the other hand, shouldn't all income be taxed? It never seemed just
for the lower income groups to typically pay their medical using
after-tax money while the upper income groups typically get nearly free
health care that is tax free. Why should medical benefits be treated
any different from earned income?

Granted, free healthcare is not just enjoyed by the upper class, but
whereas most upper class enjoy tax free, essentially free / highly
subsidized heathcare, most lower classes are forced to purchase their
healthcare via post tax dollars.
Medical care itself is not income, but the $10-15k coverage commonly
provided tax free is equivalent to income.
It's a generous subsidy (essentially welfare), primarily enjoyed by the
more highly paid.
Goodness, if it weren't for perks like that, what would be the point
of
getting an education and improving oneself? Let's all slide down to
the
least common denominator just so that everything will be fair.
Cindy Hamilton
So subsidies are OK for those who in the upper class, but subsidies for
those in the lower income brackets are welfare.
I get it.
You get a lot more choice about what you spend one hell of a chunk of your 'life' doing.
You don't have to be in the upper class to get health insurance paid
for by
your employer. You do have to have marketable skills in order to get
such
a job. Just another incentive to be a productive citizen.
You seem to think that life is fair. It isn't, and never will be.
Cindy Hamilton
>You seem to think that life is fair. It isn't, and never will be.
Actually, life is fair. What many don't get is that sometimes fair
sucks.
