-The Americans joe doesn’t understand a lot of thing and refuse to ask the mind opening provocative questions. We have fallen so far in science, math, engineering when comparing to emerging market. Take away the calculators and American kids can’t give you the correct change. All the majority of Americans do now is repeating like a parrot, right and left. I guess all that TV really kill our brain. Science in my opinion helps people to see the different scenario, to compare, see the differences. Obama spending plans scares me. Notice how i say plans because we don’t really know where or how much money are being spend yet. But for a bunch of Republicans who voted for the TRILLIONS tax cut (spending) in 2001 and hundreds of billions tax cut in 2007 start to talk like they care about our children debt future is too much of a hypocrisy for me.

Anyway, watch the Supreme Court decision on corporations and their constitutional right as people. Watch who are in favor of that. What will happen when the vote defined by who has/contribute the most money. You think the corruption and the vote buying now is bad? Wait until it becomes legal.

This Supreme Court, the John Roberts court, seems to be having trouble with that. It has been on a campaign to increase corporations’ legal rights — based on the conviction of some conservative justices that businesses are, at least legally, not much different than people.

I like this blog along with zerohedge, market ticker. You guys actually do the analysis and math instead of being propaganda like CNBC . Also the readers in here are much much better than in marketwatch site

Here’s another famous one:

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.

- Thomas Jefferson

It’s sad that people are quibbling over so many insignificant political issues when this one issue impacts the future of our citizenry so much more than anything else. Unfortunately, the average joe simply doesn’t understand basic finance….

“Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that
they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it”
- Woodrow Wilson

“These international bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspaper and the colums of these papers to club into submission or drive out of public office officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible gowerment.”
-Theodore Roosevelt

In a statement to congress, President Abraham Lincoln states, “I have two great enemies, the Southern Army front of me and the financial institution in the rear. Of the two, the one in my rear is my greatest foe”
