What does one think about being bent over and?
screwed? Is this a bad thing, or a horrible thing:
President Obama’s finance team and Nancy Pelosi are recommending a 1% transaction tax on all financial transactions. This has been checked out and it it true but if you want to see for yourself the bill is HR-4646 introduced by US Rep Peter deFazio D-Oregon and US Senator Tom Harkin D-Iowa
Their plan is to sneak it in after the November election to keep it under the radar.
The following link takes you to a site where the speaker of the house discusses it. See what Nancy has to say about this wonderful idea!

It’s only 1%! HA!
This is a 1% tax on all transactions to or from any financial institution i.e.. Banks, Credit Unions, Mutual funds, Brokers,
etc.
Any deposit you make will have a 1% tax charged.
Any withdrawal you make, 1% tax.
Any transfer within your account, a transfer to or from savings and checking, will have a 1% tax charged.
Any ATM transaction, withdrawal or deposit, 1% tax.
If your pay check or your Social Security is direct deposited, 1% tax.
If you carry a check to your bank to deposit, 1% tax.
If you take cash in to deposit, 1% tax.
If you receive any income from a bond or a dividend from stock, 1% tax.
Any Real Estate Transaction, 1% tax. (This is on top of the 3.8% they just slid in on you) total nearly 5%, commission + tax 11%, some states “Excise Tax is an additional 1+% 12% OR MORE)
Pay for your insurance (health)… 1%
This is from the man who promised that if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax. Keep your eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn.
Some will say aw it’s just 1%… remember once the tax is there they can raise it at will and you can bet that once it is put in place it will never be taken away. Suggest that you pass this along and also to your state senator and representative and US Congressman and Senators.

When do you think the U.S. government will provide unlimited AND free health care?
Do you think it will be within your lifetime?
Do you think it will be passed by a Dem. or G.O.P. President, if it is ever proposed?
I bring this up because my brother was just found by the local Medicaid providers to be ineligible for Medicaid services.
Guess why – he has a car and over $1000 in his bank account!
He needs the car to go to work and school, and the money is savings for college.
Now he has to go without healthcare indefinitely.
I ask: Should these rules limiting healthcare for those who need it most be allowed under our Constitution?

What kind of person are you?
A guy gets run over by a taxi you run to him and nurse him to health. with little breath he tries to tell you he has 8 billion dollars in his house and he wants you to take it he says he is tired of the fast life….you…
A) Invest money into a savings account and then create a business
B) You deny it.
C) Take everyone you want and buy them everything and buy yourself all the things you wanted then buy 6 houses for fun then buy a jet and then buy a plane then buy a bunch of kids drawings. then buy a hybrid then buy stuff. Then buy a bunch of dogs.
D) buy a wife/husband
E) deny it….you don’t care to be that rich, just be his friend and let him buy you stuff.
F) Tell him he needs to go to the hospital nobody is this insane!
G) buy a house buy a car buy a dog and let the money rot.
Which team are you on?
If you chose A you are Greedy…you ALREADY have 8 BILLION dollars why are you investing?
If you chose B you are insecure and trust issues.
If you chose C you are pretty normal decent person…you are kind of greedy. Also you buy things for your friends. very good.
If you picked D I am ashamed of you….buying a wife or husband you can’t buy people. Go to borders and find you a good husband or wife who may be a little dorky but is a good choice.
If you picked E….you are a simple and good hearted individual. To let the man keep his money and to understand the problems that come with money is pretty decent. You do need to get out a little more though.
If you picked F you need to resolve your trust issues and it shows you really care about a person you may be opinionated but you are a decent person to go further than most.
If you picked G…..You like the simple things but you also are closed minded. You should never let money rot. Give it away or something
