Okay... here's the latest on our Government B.S... in a few words that sum it all up, "Working Class Hero".
"There's room at the top they're telling you still, but first you must learn how to smile as you kill, if you want to be like the folks on the hill." - John Lennon
Now... lets get strated, from my understanding most European Governments offer their citizens "FREE" education & health care. If that's not enough most European Citizens have almost half the year off in "Holiday/Vacation" time, which by the way is PAID FOR BY THEIR GOVERNMENT! And yes FREE Weekend phone calls anywhere in the world! And the internet..., yes, for the most part it's FREE as well! Yes they do pay 40% or so in taxes, however, don't let that fool you!!!!
Take your Income Taxes paid to your Government for example, then add in all the Sales Taxes you pay, all year long on almost EVERYTHING you buy, now property taxes, then add in the cost of all these services which are listed above that other Governments provide to their citizens, which are included FREE in other countries to every tax paying citizen. Then, you must take into consideration the amount of "Holiday/Vacation" time OFF they receive that you don't! Did I mention that the Danes are some of the happiest people in the entire world!!! They rank #1. In California that's "Numero Uno". The USA, well... we rank #21 on some site and on Wikipedia I found we were ranked #114! So, your guess is as good as mine. However, I can tell you it feels more like #114 to me.
I would imagine that the average American citizen, at the end of the day, when it has all been added and then subtracted from their income, is actually able to say they received 20-30% at most! Of their gross income earnings! And that doesn't include living expenses! Gas, food, utilities, repairs... etc. Americans are NOW some of the poorest people in the world on average. And the ones who aren't are the ones who figured out how to play "The Game".
I would expect many of them are POLITICIANS... in one way or another.
After all they "GET" us coming and going! When you purchase a home our Government takes as much as 30% of what the seller received for the home in TAXES! And it doesn't stop there! Nope! Think about the taxes the Broker pays on their commission & the Real Estate Agent, yep, they have to pay taxes on their commission as well! And... when you own a home, you pay property taxes, for LIFE! Then when you decide to sell a home, that you "OWN" and just happens to have to sit on top of Government land, as Americans can NEVER own LAND! EVER! Our Government takes as much as 30% of your earnings from that property which you just sold. Yep... when I grow up I want to be the Government! I would have it made!
Now, let me back up a bit, some of you are asking yourselves if my last statement is true about not ever owning the land our homes sit upon or the vacant land we just purchased and thought we owned outright? Yes, it is true! You can never OWN LAND in the USA, when someone purchases land, so to speak, or a home, they are actually purchasing the "Right" to use that vacant land and or or land which the home sits on top of, for as long as they wish to "Pay Property Taxes" (every year, for life and beyond). Even though you have paid for the "structure" that sits on top of your rented Government land, you are still TAXED for ever on the assessment of the structure as well as the land. And that's not all!!!
The good news from my understanding, is that the home is yours!!! You can take it with you and stop paying taxes, as long as you have somewhere you can place it that isn't upon LAND! Your children get to continue the tax payments throughout every year of their lifetime, as long as they own the home which you gifted/leave to them. Yes... the State "GETS" you, the City "GETS" you, and ultimately our Government "GETS" you every time.
Now back to the Censorship!
Here is a quote from the Wikipedia website this morning: "SOPA and PIPA put the burden on website owners to police user-contributed material and call for the unnecessary blocking of entire sites. Small sites won't have sufficient resources to defend themselves. Big media companies may seek to cut off funding sources for their foreign competitors, even if copyright isn't being infringed. Foreign sites will be blacklisted, which means they won't show up in major search engines. SOPA and PIPA build a framework for future restrictions and suppression.
In a world in which politicians regulate the Internet based on the influence of big money, Wikipedia — and sites like it — cannot survive.
Congress says it's trying to protect the rights of copyright owners, but the "cure" that SOPA and PIPA represent is worse than the disease. SOPA and PIPA are not the answer: they will fatally damage the free and open Internet."
Call your elected officials...
Tell them you are their constituent, and you oppose SOPA and PIPA.
I just just took some time out of my morning to write three senators who will probably can my statement and add me to a "Bulk Mail" list where I will continue to receive piles and piles of scrap paper asking for donations and support from every US politician from now until I die. Yes, I wrote to our senators, who I have absolutely zero faith in: "I oppose SOPA and PIPA. And political B.S. Tell your sheep more of what we want to hear. So they can continue to fill your pockets!"
