^^^^^^ Unlike Monopoly, we may not get a chance to play again.

Peace

MONOPOLY IS THE SAME FUCKING THING

FIAT MONEY.

When the rich asshole owns Boardwalk, and your only hope is to hit 'free parking', the game is fucked, and no one wants to play anymore (apathy for an $800 welfare check).

The 'Ultra Rich' are the guy with Boardwalk, and they are pissed because you want to quit.

With a Fiat money system, like we have, when one (or 400) control all (or too much) of the money. The game/system is FUCKED.


When people argue they pay too much taxes already... well there are always anti psychotic drugs..

Boardwalk owned our national bank. We didn't had a peoples' bank. We chartered private banks for contracted periods of time.

It appears that even JAPAN is tired is us occupying their land and making some filthy rich.

This is really outrageous. People ridicule Dr. Paul but these people want us out of their country!

"A 24-member delegation from Japan is in Washington, D.C., this week opposing the presence and new construction of U.S. military bases in Okinawa. Participating are members of the Japanese House of Councilors, of the Okinawa Prefectural Assembly, and of city governments in Okinawa, as well as leading protest organizers and the heads of several important organizations opposed to the ongoing U.S. military occupation of Okinawa.

The famously stingy U.S. tax payer, frequently seen bitterly protesting outrageously wasteful spending of a few million dollars, is paying billions of dollars to maintain and expand some 90 military bases in Japan (and to make those who profit from such business filthy rich). Thirty-four of those bases, containing 74% of their total land area, are in Okinawa, which itself contains only 0.6% of Japanese land. Okinawa is dominated by U.S. military bases and has been for 67 years since the U.S. forcibly appropriated much of the best land.

The people of Okinawa tell pollsters year after year that they oppose the bases. Year after year they elect government officials who oppose the bases. Year after year they march, sit-in, protest, and demand to be heard. Year after year, the national Japanese government confronts the issue and fails to take any decisive steps to resolve it. Year after year, the people of the United States remain blissfully unaware that, as in so many other places around the world, our military occupation of Okinawa is ruining people's lives."

One of the quotes from the article is about Ecuador's president and how he solved the problem "the President of Ecuador seems to have found the magic formula in his proposal that any U.S. base in Ecuador be matched by an Ecuadorean base in Florida."

REally the Okinawa's want the foreigners to leave... thats only been the headline since the 1860's.

Okinawans consider the Japanese foreigners.

What made that worthy of posting?

Mitch Daniels, lol. W wanted to refund a trillion in 2003, just before the 04 elections. Susan Collins and Lincoln Chafee wouldn't sign on for such a large refund. W brought them to the Oval Office to twist their arm one last time before they ultimately coughed for 350 billion.

Daniels was running around the room telling W and everybody, "we can't afford another tax cut!" Trent Lott finally leaned over and whispered, "we're starving the beast." :bigeye:

and this guy Daniels can sit up there and act like he's got an ounce of integrity

^^^^^^^ Banks are not supposed to leverage money that is guaranteed by us. They are supposed to make loans and deposits. The Fed has taken it further by just printing paper in what one person described as a Ponzi scheme and that was fitting.

It is not my prophecy. It is what many top economists are saying is happening.

Exactly ShroomDr! Fiat=Monopoly money

It is called, trying to help. I'll underline a part that answers your question. Did that post bother you that much? Relax.

when they destroy the middle class though the 80's and 90's by selling manufacturing to ASIA, its hard to make them pay a great percentage.

We are talking FIAT MONEY.

When you control all the money, you will pay back more of the money, doesnt mean youre going broke.


Were the jobs sold to Asia or were they pushed to Asia by regulation, EPA and unionization? They are not "our" jobs in the first place. They belong to those who worked to build a business or corporation.

According to various lawmakers, our manufacturing base evaporated from tax breaks to move jobs away. That's fucking insane but these profitable bastards keep the campaign coffers full. American rich bastards made profits in the US. But add tax breaks to move jobs to cheaper work forces, these pukes are rich enough to buy government. It's taken 30 plus years and they're not through yet.

The business that got rich in America. Using American blood, sweat, and ingenuity. They were "our" jobs.

I guess this is the fundamental divide.

I think if you got rich here, you should have to pay your fair share. If you got 'ultra' rich, your share will be 'ultra' more, because ultimately you will still be 'ultra' rich!

Tax breaks to remove jobs? I guess I'm missing something. Elaborate.

EPA and unionization?

OSHA, Sarbanes Oxley, Expensive lawyers/legal system, 35% tax rate, Health care requirements, Social Security, Medicare/caid, FICA, Fed & state Unemployment tax, Payroll tax, MORE LEGISLATION, TAXES, and FINES to come.....ie..EPA if fining companies for not using a chemical that isn't even available.

And who should be able to define "fair share"? The politicians who will always want more?

I give up!

I give up!

People on a Cannabis growing site debating candidates when only one candidate wants to prevent them from the calamity that would befall them if discovered.

How many people here legal or not would not suffer a life tradgedy if your activity was suddenly splashed on page 2 of your newspaper?

And, some labeling others as "Fringe". Where the heck do you think you are posting? NOT IN THE US! WHY?

Peace:laughing:
