“Sleazy ” has a new definition

You sign carrying / protesting / tax increasing / obamacaring / planned parenthooding / peace meditating / gun controlling/ pay me more or leave me on assistance ..  friends of mine, I have a resolution for you, ya you: put your compassion where your hands and feed are and get moving.

Your wealth is not what you earned, its what the state allows you to keep, eh?  Why should we not want the government  to spend 39 cents of every dollar we make, how else do we expect them to get it if we don’t “pay our fair share”.  And how `bout that “millionaire tax”, get em good !!

Times was, that financial morality was a product of how you got it, not how much you released to the state to employ you / raise you / educate you / assign beliefs to you / and control your arms.

And all you “99%”er’s. News flash, you are in the top 1%. “People count” folks, and there are hungry folks all over the world, most of you aren’t among them.

I wish I could get a few of you bleeding heart, can’t we all get along, love is the answer, don’t bully, think positive thoughts.. people to help us out with real people that are your real American neighbors that are really in need and hungry down here at the Flint Eastside Mission.

Happy New Year.

5 Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires

They’re just like you. But with lots of money.

When you think “millionaire,” what image comes to mind? For many of us, it’s a flashy Wall Street banker type who flies a private jet, collects cars and lives the kind of decadent lifestyle that would make Donald Trump proud.

Pay Garnishments Rise as Debtors Fall Behind

PHOENIX — When the bank sued Leann Weaver for not paying her credit card balance, her reaction was typical for someone in that situation. Personal and financial setbacks weighed her down, and she knew she owed the $2,470. So she never went to court to defend herself.
