This Economic Reform Seems Bad For Small Business
August 24th, 2010. Published under Economic News. No Comments.
If You Really Want To Help, Extend The Tax Cuts Yesterday’s news included a sound byte from President Obama, urging Congress (and his opponents in the Republican Party) to stop blocking his next stimulus, this one ostensibly for small businesses…right after all of them return from vacation.

Abusive and Stupid Debt Collector Headlines of the Week

Update Aug 3. Unemployed 99er Calls are working PBS NewsHour has picked up story !
August 18th, 2010. Published under Unemployment. No Comments.
PBS NewsHour is planning a story on the long-term unemployed With only three days remaining until the House takes an early summer recess, it’s imperative that the unemployed and 99ers — benefit exhaustees – in particular be given the media attention they deserve. Unfortunately the Wikileaked Afghan War documents seem to have taken the media by storm. These are vital documents that show the real state of that war, but much of what they expose — the war is going badly – has already been known by many experts, but ignored by the media at large. These documents are a behind the scenes look at how the war is being conducted and deserve attention, but not at the expense of millions of Americans who are suffering from a pathetically slow job market and have exhausted unemployment benefits. These are the kind of stories that give politicians cover from addressing other issues, such as unemployment.

Federal Trade Commission Proposals to Reform the Debt Collection Industry
July 14th, 2010. Published under Business Scams, Scams. No Comments.
The Federal Trade Commission has made recommendations to fix the badly broken debt collection industry, especially debt litigation and arbitration. One of the biggest problems is that debt collection attorneys file complaints against consumers and upwards of 90 percent of the time have no physical proof that a debt is owed or that they are suing the proper person(s). These sorts of questionable debt collection lawsuits are exactly why the book “ Stick it To Sue Happy Debt Collectors ” was written. The book levels the playing field and gives consumers a very high chance of beating erroneous and highly questionable lawsuits in court. The book is written in an easy to understand manner and simplified steps on fighting debt collectors and their attorneys.

Unemployed? Check This Out!-Unemployment Extension Revolutionary March To Washington, DC
June 27th, 2010. Published under Unemployment. No Comments.
My brother solitaryfracture suggests that we vote the senators up for re-election out of office come November. I do agree with this, however, the unemployed need help NOW. Time is of the essence. I will not stand here and watch my Country destroy itself. Lets get this done. Come with me to Washington! Also, sorry for so many “F” bombs. Please note that I am being hyperbolic regarding the burning down and shooting of these Republican senators. Don’t actually do it. “Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [ie, securing inherent and inalienable rights, with powers derived from the consent of the governed], it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.” –Thomas Jefferson: Declaration of Independence.

Attention Georgians Prepare to Pay Higher Taxes if Georgia and Other States Don’t Block Health Care Reform
March 24th, 2010. Published under Business Scams, Scams. No Comments.
This issue not only affects all Georgian’s, but every US Citizen. What congress isn’t telling you is the effect that the Health Care Reform will have on State funded programs that are paid for by taxes. The health care reform is going to cause state and federal taxes to go up, including state sales tax. Under the new health care mandate an estimated 600,000 to 700,000 additional Georgian’s will be enrolled (forced by federal law) onto the stat Medicaid program. Georgia will have to raise taxes to help offset the financial burden that the Health Care Reform will put on the states. The federal health care reform will cost the state of Georgia an estimated additional $500 million dollars a year. Currently the State of Georgia has a budget deficit and the reform bill is only going to add to the deficit.

Let’s Require Congress to Enroll in any Government-run Health Plan as Well
November 30th, 2009. Published under Business Scams, Fraud. No Comments.
Please read and act, only takes a minute. On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn that would require all Members and their staffs to enroll in any new government-run health plan. It took me less than a minute to sign up to require our congressmen and senators to drink at the same trough! Congressman John Fleming ( Louisiana physician) has proposed an amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the same healthcare plan they force on us (under proposed legislation they are curiously exempt). Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go on his Website and sign his petition (very simple – just first, last and email). I have immediately done just that at: http://fleming.house.gov/index.html Please urge as many people as you can to do the same! If Congress forces this on the American people, the Congressmen should have to accept the same level of health care for themselves and their families. To do otherwise is the height of hypocrisy!
