midas Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Desperate times Spain Levies Consumption Tax on Sunlight Proving that idiocy truly has no bounds, Spain issued a "royal decree" taxing sunlight gatherers. The state threatens fines as much as 30 million euros for those who illegally gather sunlight without paying a tax. http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2013/07/spain-levies-consumption-tax-on-sunlight.html and France is pushing for an international tax on Google, Facebook and Amazon in the countries where customers use their websites.

Cheapcharly Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I propose a tax on air and a tax on sun. You breath? If yes you own me a lot of money. If no...

midas Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Unbelievable story! Company bank account for father and daughter run grocery store (in business for over 30 years) seized by Feds in January. No criminal charges have ever been filed but the reasoning for the forfeiture of their assets appears to be that this cash business deposited cash too often in their bank account. Apparently, when this happens there is not much you can do as you aren’t given the option of stating your case: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajarnpot Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 EUis in front. EU is destined to fail. Usa can be righted as long as they dont vote another commie as president. You think the US won't fall? how is it going to sort out the debt? which apparently it is borrowing money to pay of interest. How can the US not fall even if it is somewhat slowly at least the EU can break up back into separate sovereigns, I'm sure there's enough gold floating around to change the way things are done I certainly hope the goat viol...

Then those beach bums who boast about being able to eat lobster at the expense of others won't know what's hit them ok this is just one person ………………one example but I believe it reflects the sentiment that will keep growing Some of you may have thought I was joking when I shut down on 9/11 and said that were there to be no response I would continue to withdraw my consent, peacefully and lawfully, by simply refusing to work as hard -- and thus refusing to generate taxable income (and taxes.) I wasn't joking. Not long after I posted the Evolution Ticker in which I announced that the formerly-revenue-producing (and thus tax producing) side of the operation here was closing -- permanently and immediately, with the services formerly provided disappearing on or before 12/31. In short, I would choose to go watch pretty sunsets and enjoy adult beverages, or hang out with people I really do care about in the real world instead of writing Tickers and otherwise generating taxable activity. http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=224999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheapcharly Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 This is my simple point of view on the USA. View the number of poor, lack of well paid jobs, it s impossible to run a system based on consumption as consumers need money to consume. It worked fine when products were build in USA and people bought USA product, they produced their own gadgets resulting job creations. It was a prefect and well maintained oiled clock until some idiots start to deal with China. (grain of sand in the engrenages ) which rapidly has deteriorated the USA system. Still USA is the biggest producer in the world but the money will go to USA companies who have their offices in Cayman and don't pay a single dim of tax. Their crap is still build in China and now Africa (Ethiopia) where workers are paid 1000 bahts a month. So USA people won't see any money really from these mega companies. So who pay tax to maintain the big USA machine with their expensive GIs, dhs, tsa,... And who is going to pay for food stamps, health care, retirement,...? The average class citizen will pay . Rich are leaving or left already(or have found a way to pay no tax) and poor have nothing left. If you have $ in USA, you are an idiot to stay as you can live well with money saved by getting rid of your 30 to 50% income tax. This is why rich USA guys buy boats and cruise around the world. But with fatca and fbar it s going to be harder now as the USA government want keep them inside the country to run their oiled machine. Pretty much they don't want people living outside the country. They want you to come back with your $ and invest it in the USA so fed can eat part of the cake. For now they will take money from middle class who will become poor in the end and who eventually will join the feds as a tsa, dhs officers... (these jobs are for morons usually as training take only a few weeks) Until the number of middle class is so small that they won't be enough middle class people left to sustain this USA machine. Result:USA is doomed to fail. Borrow or save, result will be the same. What we don't know is when and what will happen then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midas Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Is this stage two of the test to see how people react ? Utah families on food stamps could be cut off soon States across the country are being told to stop the supplemental nutrition assistance program for the month of November, pending further notice. That’s according to a letter from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Fox 13 obtained a copy from the Crossroads Urban Center in downtown Salt Lake City. Crossroads says if Utah families don’t get food stamps, they’ll turn to the local food pantries, which are already strapped due to the government shutdown. Homeless people Fox 13 talked to, some who use SNAP, say losing food stamps would mean going hungry. People out on the streets like Richard Phillips says, “It could impact us and it’s going to cause problems because you’re going to come to find out that people are going to steal and do what they have to do to survive.” http://fox13now.com/2013/10/14/utah-families-on-food-stamps-could-be-cut-off-soon/ Edited October 16, 2013 by midas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midas Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) looting began after just 3 hours of the EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) system being down so imagine what would happen if food stamps were delayed for a period of five days. Consensus is now quite strong among the well-informed (i.e. people who read the alternative media) that the downfall of the EBT system will be the downfall of civility across America. Thanks to Obama’s disastrous economic policies, nearly 50 million Americans are now on food stamps, and the program is on track to double by the time Obama leaves office. Obama will go down in history as the only president to have doubled the national debt and the food stamp program at the same time. As the Wal-Mart ransacking in Louisiana just demonstrated, people will clear the shelves and engage in mass theft if they believe they can do so with a minimal risk of getting caught. This is no longer debatable. We just saw it happen in a short-term, localized test case. Edited October 16, 2013 by midas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
