Amount should not be includible on normal Federal or State income tax return. A 15% Federal Special Rescue Tax on balance could be paid (withheld) directly by Administrator of Account and sent to US Treasury. This solution solves many of the financial problems for both the little guy and the banking system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-34539277394888396702008-09-29T02:37:00.000+01:002008-09-29T02:37:00.000+01:00It's almost as if they are fulfilling the Protocol...It's almost as if they are fulfilling the Protocols of Zion.Ooops!I'm sorry!That is verboten!Is my comment going to be delated?<BR/><BR/>Anyone want to guess WHY? the Jews have been persecuted and kicked out of dozens of countries?Anybody?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-57287979028186377412008-09-26T20:35:00.000+01:002008-09-26T20:35:00.000+01:00Ummm... I may be wrong but I think the math here i...Ummm... I may be wrong but I think the math here is a little off regarding "Trillions" of debt.<BR/><BR/>Yes, the US Gov could purchase Trillions in debt, but only in aggregate and after they paid back previous debt.<BR/><BR/>Exmaple:<BR/><BR/>If you give me a $100 credit limit, as long as I don't have more than $100 outstanding at any one time -- and I buy "Failed Bank USA" for $100 -- then turn around and sell that bank for $5 to my friends... I only received $5 in return to pay back the credit limit. That means when the next bank fails, I can only pay $5 for that bank, not another $100 for that bank as I still have $95 outstanding on my debt.<BR/><BR/>So the most I could lose in total is $100.<BR/><BR/>If I bought for $100 and sold for $100 or more, I could then buy another $100 and so on, so yes I could technically buy and sell and buy and sell forever, spending trillions over time for bad debt, however it is a moot point since I would have paid it back millions of times.<BR/><BR/>It's like a credit card limit -- if the bank gives you a $10,000 credit card limit, the most you can rack up is $10k (except for interest but that's not really the point trying to be made in this blog). Unless you pay back the $10k, you can't spend another $10k... and you can only spend in the future up to the amount you paid back previously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-59475985171970234582008-09-23T15:12:00.000+01:002008-09-23T15:12:00.000+01:00the "american dreams" allways was on the expensive...the "american dreams" allways was on the expensive of anothers countrys nightmares. so now wellcome to ours nightamres dreams.<BR/>wy starying crying and bitching, raise the guns, that's any way is something american have a lot over there. kill the mother fuckers now! kill them all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-2872709914021013782008-09-23T07:48:00.000+01:002008-09-23T07:48:00.000+01:00Anonymous said...

So if the government can take out 3,000 of its own citizens to get us into a fake out war & pretext for a suspension of habeas corpus, probable cause requirements for electronic surveillance, etc., and use 9/11 as the pretext for the "buy-buy-buy" mentality, then this debacle is no surprise what so ever. Watch for the Amero next. We'll be required to exchange our greenbacks for Ameros. As for voting, Keith and the Obama/McCain show? Not anymore - its every man for himself.

And its definitely not a 232 year run!<BR/><BR/>It's an idea.<BR/><BR/>The idea that has permeated all of history - the idea of being free. Not from want or need - we will always have those - but the freedom from tyranny. Both from an external dictator or an internal value system which doesn't allow us communion with our creator.<BR/><BR/>Try to remember the words of V, if not your own forefathers.<BR/><BR/>An idea such as this CANNOT be owned by Americans alone. It is not Amreicans who came up with it - but inherited it and brought it forward. Like a light from candle to candle in an infinite darkness. It cannot be stopped by bullets. It cannot die so long as one human is willing to sacrifice his life to carry the idea forward. Or picks it up from the corpse of the last martyr to carry it.<BR/><BR/>I'm not asking (nor would I ever dream that I would have the authority to ask) that anyone should die for such ideas. Or that you should rebel against the system. It's too late now anyway.<BR/><BR/>Darkness will come - like it always does. But just when things are darkest, when the world around you might freeze and all hope is lost - there will be a glimmer of dawn and a new day.<BR/><BR/>When THAT day comes... THAT is when you will pull up your sleeves and rebuild.<BR/><BR/>Until then - teach your children what freedom means.<BR/><BR/>America wasn't an experiment.<BR/><BR/>It was just the highest stepping stone so far that humanity could build.<BR/><BR/>It's time to build the next step.<BR/><BR/>As someone once said... stop cursing at the darkness and light a candle instead. America did good! It showed us the way. Now it will just take courage by the rest of us to continue down that path.<BR/><BR/>{/venting}Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-71445344879211019762008-09-22T19:03:00.000+01:002008-09-22T19:03:00.000+01:00I will miss this country.
