The French Government wants to tax people 75% I think... Didn't Johnny Depp tell them to stick it?

Inflation is hidden taxation. You work harder and longer for less money/energy.

We're having the same problem. We're so underwater on our mortgage it's sickening and the foreclosures in our area keep pushing the prices down further and further. He live in a hellhole that used to be a nice neighborhood and there's not a damn thing we can do about it other than just walking away. My husband still makes a decent paycheck...my heart goes out to those who are really suffering from this crap economy.

Tandym, did/do you post at TOP? If so, I followed some of your threads there...good stuff! I'm permabanned there now (different ID here) but I don't miss it a bit.

This morning as I was leaving for work, I saw that the neighbor behind us is having a very, very large rummage / yard sale.

Last night we saw a small moving van outside their house packed full.

My husband and I noticed that the man of the house seemed to be out of work for at least the last few months...

Don't know if she's leaving him, or if they are all packing it up and moving out because they can't afford their house anymore.

The neighborhood association wanted us to vote on putting liens on 18 houses in our neghborhood due to poor maintenance (lawn, etc) and we abstained from voting at all... especially when the lady told us that several of the homes had been 'abandoned'.

My husband and I are still doing OK, but we have known for awhile that our neighborhood was going downhill -- the lady next door for instance -- her two college-aged children have both moved back home, of which the daughter has two illegitimate children of her own. There's one kid left in HighSchool over there and he'll be graduating this year.

I said earlier in the thread I didn't have any stories to add, but I guess I do. Its hard to see the neighborhood falling down around our ears and not only can we do nothing to stop it, the market is depressed and we probably can't even sell our house to get out of it (the neighborhood). I don't even want to think about being one of the only houses 'left alive' if / when the market crashes altogether... Crime will skyrocket I'm sure, and no amount of ADT security & cameras, etc will keep it at bay.

Lol, I deserved that...thanks for the reality check. Your avatar is one of the creepiest things I've ever seen, BTW. What the hell is that thing?

You, OP, don't stand a chance. None of us do. The Constitution is dead and so is the last president of USA, JFK.

Reagan/Bush Family/Clintons/Obama and friends/CIA/Bohemian Grove/Bilderbergs/Federal Reserve/Soros/Trade Agreements/Big Oil/Big Pharma/MSM/WallStreet/Rockefellars/Rothchild/K Street lobbyists/NWO you say?

Not a problem.

In 1990, the music was awesome. Now it friggin' blows.
In 1990, I was asleep, now I see all and I'm not liking the truth.

Ha! There's a big hole in that plot line!!! Who will pay taxes then?

I was surfing around the web the other day and came across the wikipedia page for the Harvard Law School. This school is sitting on a $30 billion dollar endowment fund. An endowment that generates around 10% return on investment. That is just one university. There are many universities that also have endowment funds. All of them generating a return on investment. Many other institutions are doing the same thing. Charities, trusts, or whatever. All of them requiring a return while sitting on billions of dollars.

Then there is a public employee retirement fund worth $80 billion dollars in the state that I live in. Generating revenue to pay former government workers their large retirement package. That is just one entity in one state. Let me remind you that there are 50 other states with multiple trust funds. All milking as much money as they can. That is why our government favors large corporations. If the large corporations make more money, then the government trust funds receive a larger rate on their return. (A back door tax on the people) And very few know that this is happening. There is a reason why Walmarts and other box stores came in and conquered small town America. Mom and Pops didn't provide any return on investment. All they paid was the simple tax.

Money for nothing. The return on investments has to come from somewhere. It comes from us. That is why the middle class is dying and/or dead. Large investment funds have siphoned so much money out this economy. The little peoples pay has been stagnate for decades while prices of everything else continues to rise. The house my father bought back in 1976 was valued at $90k... today it goes for $450k. Houses that were values at $30k back in the 80's are now listed over $150k.

The future for the 99% does not look good. I see a future where ownership of anything will no longer exist.
