Even if you do mange to come out ahead the chances of you actually keeping everything such as your home, your vehicles and personal property is slim.

The newest training programs for the IRS and a couple of other agencies is to actively hunt for accounts that will bring in the most revenue when liquidated the quickest. To find any reason to put liens out.

Am I paranoid?

I don’t care but I can see and the smell it coming.

The U.S. economy is bleeding millions of good jobs. Greedy CEOs are systematically shipping them overseas and our politicians are standing around and doing nothing about it.

Stopped reading there.

This could be the foundation of a possible second American revolution.

26 - This quote

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

“The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.

“The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

27 - The above quote soon to be modified

“The danger to America is not Mitt Romney but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Republican nomination. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Mitt Romney nomination than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to nominate such a man to run for their president.

“The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Romney, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.

“Republicans can survive a Mitt Romney who is, after all, merely a fool. They are less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their nominee.”

Nope, I'm not overly optimistic, particularly for the next year. That becomes permanent if socialism wins again in November.

#15 The number of middle class neighborhoods also continues to decline. In 1970, 65 percent of all Americans lived in "middle class neighborhoods". By 2007, only 44 percent of all Americans lived in "middle class neighborhoods".

Going back to the original study, it looks like that is because more people are living in areas based on income rather than there being less middle class people. Instead of the rich, middle and poor being more likely to live in neighborhoods together giving a "nice" middle average income, the rich move into their own neighborhoods and the middle move away from the poor (less likely that the poor move away from the middle). So while there are fewer "middle class" neighborhoods, there are more both rich and poor neighborhoods.

This also could come from statistical anomalies like having more finely split neighborhoods now that were in 1970. If Country Club Estates and Wrong Side of the Tracks were both in the same census grouping in 1970 but are now in two different blocks you would have changed one big "middle-class" neighborhood into one rich and one poor neighborhood.

#25 - Coming medical crisis - By 2013, less than one-third of U.S. physicians are expected to remain in private practice...small practice settings may be a thing of the past. The influx of aging baby boomers, less physicians available because of low payments, high insurance and high amount of paperwork will cause more problems than we can handle.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

“Greedy” CEOs?

I would call them CEOs who are responsible to their shareholders and boards of directors. Why should shareholders prop up a political-economic-cultural-educational system that is beyond hope? Why should they take the whack in the wallet?

I’ll show some of these stats and links to the many here on this forum who are for free trade with China.

#4. Population is getting older. Older people need more health care.

Also healthcare is getting better things that you would just have to live with 30 years ago they can fix or soften.

Other Americans "tune out" by watching endless hours of television, by playing endless hours of video games or by indulging in endless hours of other forms of entertainment.

I'm waiting for our local university to offer a Master's degree in studying "The Kardashians"

Things have gotten so bad that most of our high school students cannot even answer the most basic questions about our history.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Compulsory socialist-entitlement K-12 schooling is the origin of the “political-cultural-moral-educational” problem and abolishing it is the solution!

Since the mid-1800 our nation's children have attended compulsory socialist schools. While at first they presented a lukewarm and generic Protestant worldview they have been utterly godless since the mid-1960s.

Is it any wonder that we have produced generations of citizens that see government compulsion as their Redeemer and Savior, and worship at the altar of socialism?

Solution: Immediately begin the process of complete privatization of all K-12 schooling. Work toward complete separation of school and state.

U.S. “free” trade with China is the main problem:

#10 Our economic infrastructure is being torn apart right in front of our eyes. In 2010, an average of 23 manufacturing facilities a day shut down in the United States. Overall, more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities in the United States have shut down since 2001.

All the cell phones that I have bought have “Made in China” on them.

How can we as a country survive if we don't make our own clothes,TVs, cameras, computers, cell phones, etc? Answer: we can't.

So STOP TRADING WITH OTHER COUNTRIES AND MAKE THINGS IN THE U.S.A. AGAIN.

99% of China people were peasants 20 years ago. Now they are making high tech smart phone, computers, machinery, steel etc while the U.S. declines.
