I Was a Little Sick; but, Had a Nice Day

I took the day off, I felt poorly, as if someone had hit me in my kidneys. I feel better now. Now, the news.

YouTube - Keiser Report: People Power Age (E577). This is an amusing video discussing how the United States wants to count manufacturing jobs overseas as American jobs. Treating "job creators" in America as American jobs if the parent company is in America. When you figure out how you are being lied to and taken advantage of let me know. The second part of the show highlights how electronic currencies are already taking over in Africa.

Yahoo - No, the U.S. Isn’t Really Giving Up the Internet—It Doesn’t Own It Anyway. A group I have written extensively about, ICANN, is being put under the "control" of an international body and the writer wants you to know how they will no longer report to the federal government but wants to assure you that the federal government never owned the internet anyways. It is all lies, we will always control the internet. It just proves what I have been writing about for years.

Huffington Post - WATCH: Fox News' 'Preferential Option for the Rich'. A great little critique of Jon Stewart pointing out the lies of those who want to get rid of food stamps. The videos are priceless. In one, a person, claiming to be a Christian says that we shouldn't feed people, we should teach people how to feed themselves and then in another a conservative complains that food stamps can be used to buy bait for fishing.

Forbes - Can Corporate Leaders Push Through Immigration Reform In 2014?. Well, if they cannot send the jobs overseas then they want to bring foreigners in to the United States to work for less and take yours. Get it through your head that your "representatives" don't care about you and only care about the corporate interests that pay them.

Yahoo - The Wall Street Journal - Mortgage tax breaks trickle up, new study shows. When the Wall Street Journal talks about how the wealthy are benefiting from tax breaks you better believe they are not looking out for the poor. Lets get rid of ALL tax deductions. The truth is that the average person only qualifies for about 2% of all deductions available and the rest are limited to the rich and corporations.

None of the articles were particularly novel or exciting, more of just the same old garbage; but, that is the point of picking them. The real point is about what is under attack and what the average person who is willing to work hard can no longer expect and shouldn't.

Firstly, you shouldn't expect that going to college means you can get a good job. Nope, we are giving a preference to foreign students at our colleges and are making college so expensive that the average middle class person cannot afford to send his children to college or the child will be forced to take on more debt than he or she can expect to see in increased income. I have a simple solution to this, any state college or university that takes in foreign students should immediately cease getting and state or federal funding.

Secondly, you shouldn't be able to count of working towards a retirement. You should work till you die and even if you contribute to a retirement fund for 50 years you shouldn't be able to collect it because others have a better use for your money. I contributed to Social Security since I was 12 until I was 30 and won't see a dime of it coming back to me because I have a pension. Yeah, that is fair. We are not talking about an "entitlement", how bout if they just gave me the money I contributed back? I can live with that as I will have a pension; but, for those who only have Social Security, they want to take that from you too.

Thirdly, a home in which to raise your family. Nope, we are destroying home ownership and making everyone a renter. That is the purpose behind housing bubbles, the people living in them now make a profit and houses become unfordable for future generations. Are you seeing your future yet?

Fourthly, Mini-apartments and a life without personal transportation. Live in 250 square feet and never own a car and you will be a hero in the future because you are so environmentally friendly. Stop using up oxygen and maybe you can get a tax rebate.

Music for the generation about to be taken advantage of. YouTube - X - "The New World"
