Cash for clunkers.....................

 

If you traded in a clunker worth $3500, you get $4500

off for an apparent "savings" of $1000.

 

 

However, you have to pay taxes on the $4500

come April 15th (something that no auto dealer

will tell you). If you are in the 30% tax bracket,

you will pay $1350 on that $4500.

 

 

So, rather than save $1000, you actually pay an

extra $350 to the feds. In addition, you traded in

a car that was most likely paid for. Now you have

4 or 5 years of payments on a car that you did not

need, that was costing you less to run than the

payments that you will now be making.

 

 

But wait, it gets even better: you also got ripped

off by the dealer.

 

For example, every dealer here in LA was selling

the Ford Focus with all the goodies including A/C,

auto transmission, power windows, etc for $12,500

the month before the "cash for clunkers" program

started.

 

When "cash for clunkers" came along, they stopped

discounting them and instead sold them at the list

price of $15,500. So, you paid $3000 more than

you would have the month before. (Honda, Toyota ,

and Kia played the same list price game that Ford

and Chevy did).

 

 

So lets do the final tally here:

 

 

You traded in a car worth: $3500

 

You got a discount of: $4500

 

---------

Net so far +$1000

 

But you have to pay: $1350 in taxes on the $4500

 

--------

 

Net so far: -$350

 

And you paid: $3000 more than the car was selling

for the month before

 

----------

 

Net -$3350

 

 

We could also add in the additional taxes (sales

tax, state tax, etc.) on the extra $3000 that you

paid for the car, along with the 5 years of interest

on the car loan but lets just stop here.

 

 

So who actually made out on the deal? The feds

collected taxes on the car along with taxes on the

$4500 they "gave" you. The car dealers made an

extra $3000 or more on every car they sold along

with the kickbacks from the manufacturers and the

loan companies. The manufacturers got to dump

lots of cars they could not give away the month

before. And the poor stupid consumer got saddled

with even more debt that they cannot afford.

 

 

Obama and his band of merry men convinced Joe

consumer that he was getting $4500 in "free" money

from the "government" when in fact Joe was giving

away his $3500 car and paying an additional $3350

for the privilege.

Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown in the economy, Congress has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 50 years of age and above on early retirement, thus creating jobs and reducing unemployment.

 

This scheme will be known as R.A.P.E. (Retire Aged People Early).

 

Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to Congress to be considered for the S.H.A.F.T. program (Special Help After Forced Termination).

 

Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (System Covering Retired-Early Workers).

 

A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Congress deems appropriate.

 

Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance).

 

Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by Congress.

 

Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much S.H.I.T. (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Congress has always prided themselves on the amount of S.H.I.T. they give our citizens.

 

Should you feel that you do not receive enough S.H.I.T., please bring this to the attention of your Congressman, who has been trained to give you all the S.H.I.T. you can handle.

 

Sincerely,

 

The Committee for Economic Value of Individual Lives (E.V.I.L.)

 

PS - - Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas and oil, as well as current market conditions, the Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.

No. 18 is really shocking....

 

HOW BIG IS WAL-MART? This should boggle your mind!! And scare you as well!

 

1. At Wal-Mart, Americans spend $36,000,000 every hour of every day.

 

2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!

 

3... Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.

 

4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.

 

5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private employer. And most can't speak English.

 

6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the World.

 

7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger & Safeway combined, keeping in mind they did this in only 15 years.

 

8. During this same period, 31 Supermarket chains sought bankruptcy. (are we surprised)

 

9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.

 

10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had 5 years ago.

 

11. This year, 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at a Wal-Mart store.. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 billion.)

 

12. 90% of all Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart.

 

13. The value of product for Wal-Mart passing through the port of San Diego each year is a larger sum than 93% of ALL countries Gross National Product (GNP) ...and that is only ONE port ...one way that Wal-Mart gets it's stuff..

 

14. Of the 1.6 million employees, only 1.2% make a living above the poverty level.. (Interesting statistics eh, must be because they pay their employees so well)

 

15. Wal-Mart's head office is located and centralized in Bentonville. Due to this fact, there are more millionaires per square mile there than any place on Earth. (Wonder what merchandise they have it their friendly Bentonville Wallmart?)

 

16. The official U.S. Government position is that Wal-Mart's prices are no lower than anyone else's when compared to a typical families weekly purchases. That's the view of the statisticians at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) responsible for calculating the consumer price index (CPI).

 

17. 92% of everything Wal-Mart sells, comes from China . Another 4% comes from Chinese owned companies in the U..S. or in 3rd world countries. (Yes China is in charge here alright)

 

SCARRY 18. Wal-Mart and MOST large companies, take out life insurance on it's employees, without their knowing. If an employee dies, ALL the insurance moneys go to the companies. i.e. An employee making $18,000 per year, dies, and the company might make as much as $1 million. Most often these moneys, coming from what is commonly referred to as "Dead Peasant Life Insurance Policies", is paid out to executives as bonuses. (A common practice, unknown by the common man)

 

19. Wal-Mart now averages a "profit" (not sales) of $36 billion per year.

 

20. Let Wal Mart bail out Wall Street. If not, consider shopping someplace else.

[dakal]

it ain't my dollars :USAflag:

 

dpn't buy china if i have a choice. most times do!

Below is a commentary from an ER Doctor. Do you think this might be a big reason our health care system and our social security system are so screwed up? Do you think this might be a big reason our taxes keep going up? Who do you think these people are going to vote for?

From a Florida ER doctor:

"I live and work in a state overrun with illegals. They make more money having kids than we earn working full-time. Today I had a 25-year old with 8 kids - that’s right 8; all illegal anchor babies and she had the nicest nails, cell phone, hand bag, clothing, etc. She makes about $1,500 monthly for each; you do the math. I used to say, “We are the dumbest nation on earth.” Now I must say and sadly admit: WE are the dumbest people on earth (that includes ME) for we elected the idiot idealogues who have passed the bills that allow this. Sorry, but we need a revolution. Vote them all out in 2010. "

--- REMEMBER ---

IN NOVEMBER 2010, WE HAVE A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAN OUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE AND ONE-THIRD OF THE SENATE!

This is an insult and a kick in the butt to all of us...

 

Get mad and pass it on - I don't know how, but maybe some good will come of this travesty.

If the immigrant is over 65, they can apply for SSI and Medicaid and get more than a woman on Social Security, who worked from 1944 until 2004.

She is only getting $791 per month because she was born in 1924 and there's a 'catch 22.'

It is interesting that the federal government provides a single refugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890. Each can also obtain an additional $580 in social assistance, for a total of $2,470 a month.

This compares to a single pensioner, who after contributing to the growth and development of America for 40 to 50 years, can only receive a monthly maximum of $1,012 in old age pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement.

Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees!

Consider sending this to all your American friends, so we can all be ticked off and maybe get the refugees cut back to $1,012 and the pensioners up to $2,470. Then we can enjoy some of the money we were forced to submit to the Government over the last 40 or 50 or 60 years. And not to receive a increase for 2010 Vote them all out of office…….

Please forward this to every American to expose what our elected politicians have been doing for the past 11 years to over-taxed Americans.

 

SEND THIS TO EVERY AMERICAN TAXPAYER YOU KNOW.

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A....

 

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little. The second test average was a D! No one was happy.

 

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

I just can't believe that some people actually think that Socialism is what America needs. it makes no sense at all.

Ill share my stuff and try to be generous to other people, and if needed, ill give the shirt off my back, but damn, for somebody to expect me to share my hard earned stuff with them, while their lazy @$$ set in a lazy-boy all day!

I recently tore my shoulder and had to get surgery that puts me out of work for 6 months with no pay. I worked 40 hours a week, 5 days a week, and have always done good for myself, now that I'm out of work, I've lost my house, had to move onto my boat and sell pretty much everything just to save for a long haul, but my neighbor who has 3 kids, no job, and deals drugs out of her house just bought a brand new lexus. :huh???:

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE

 

 

(1) Fine:This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

 

(2) Five Minutes:If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

 

(3) Nothing:This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead:This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

 

(5) Loud Sigh:This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

 

(6) That's Okay:This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

 

(7) Thanks:A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').

 

(8) Whatever:Is a woman's way of saying Go jump in the Lake (I changed this from Go to Hades) !!!

 

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it:Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

 

* Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology.

 

* Send this to all the women you know to give them a good laugh, cause they know it's true!!!

Your a funny dude cw.

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER

 

This one is a little different... . Two Different Versions.... ......... .... Two Different Morals

 

 

 

OLD VERSION

 

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away..

Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

 

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

 

 

MODERN VERSION

 

The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

 

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.

 

CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

 

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'

 

ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, We shall overcome. Then Rev. Jeremiah

Wright has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.

 

President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight.

 

Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

 

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

 

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.

 

The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ants food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.

 

The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and once peaceful,

neighbor hood.

 

The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.

 

 

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Be careful how you vote in 2010.

 

I’ve sent this to you because I believe that you are

an ant not a grasshopper! Make sure that you pass this on to other ants. Don’t bother sending it on to any grasshoppers because they wouldn't understand it, anyway.

Little Johnny (AND CW) is not an Obama fan

 

A teacher asked her 6th grade class how many of them were Obama fans.

 

Not really knowing what an Obama fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for Little Johnny.

 

The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different... again.

 

Little Johnny said, "Because I'm not an Obama fan."

 

The teacher asked, "Why aren't you a fan of Obama?" Johnny said, "Because I'm a Republican."

 

The teacher asked him why he's a Republican. Little Johnny answered, "Well, my Mom's a Republican and my Dad's a Republican, so I'm a Republican."

 

Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, "If your mom were a moron and your dad were an idiot, what would that make you?"

 

With a big smile, Little Johnny replied, "That would make me an Obama fan."

 

It's like recess at the Asylum.....

Might just try this one myself........

 

I went down this morning to sign up my Dog for welfare. At first the lady said, Dogs are not eligible to draw welfare. So I explained to her that my Dog is unemployed, lazy, can't speak English and has no frigging clue who his Daddy is. So she looked in her policy book to see what it takes to qualify. My Dog gets his first check Friday.

Damn this is a great country.

[CWLONGSHOT]

At a time when our president and other politicians tend to apologize for our country's prior actions, here's a refresher on how some of our former patriots handled negative comments about our country.

 

 

 

These

 

are good

 

 

 

JFK'S

 

Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when

 

De Gaulle decided to pull out of NATO.. De Gaulle said he wanted all US

 

military out of France as soon as possible..

 

 

 

Rusk responded,

 

"Does that include those who are buried here?"

 

 

 

De Gaulle

 

did not respond.

 

You

 

could have heard a pin drop.

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

 

When in England

 

at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the

 

Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of

 

'empire building' by George Bush.

 

 

 

He answered by saying,

 

"Over the years, the United States has sent many of

 

its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom

 

beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for

 

in return is enough to bury those that did not

 

return."

 

 

 

You

 

could have heard a pin drop.

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

 

 

 

There was a conference in France

 

where a number of international engineers

 

were taking part, including French and American. During a break,

 

one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, "Have you

 

heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft

 

carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he

 

intend to do, bomb them?"

 

 

 

A Boeing engineer

 

stood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have three

 

hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are

 

nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to

 

shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to

 

feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand

 

gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a

 

dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and

 

from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships;

 

how many does France have?"

 

 

 

You

 

could have heard a pin drop.

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

 

 

 

A U.S. Navy Admiral

 

was attending a naval conference that included

 

Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French

 

Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large

 

group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries.

 

Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a

 

French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many

 

languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, "Why is it that

 

we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than

 

speaking French?"

 

 

 

Without hesitating,

 

the American Admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the

 

Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't

 

have to speak German."

 

 

 

You

 

could have heard a pin drop.

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

 

 

 

AND

 

THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE...

 

 

 

Robert Whiting,

 

an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane.

 

At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport

 

in his carry on.

 

 

 

"You

 

have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked

 

sarcastically.

 

 

 

Mr. Whiting

 

admitted that he had been to France

 

previously.

 

 

 

"Then

 

you should know enough to have your passport ready."

 

 

 

The American said,

 

"The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it.."

 

 

 

"Impossible.

 

Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !"

 

 

 

The American senior

 

gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he

 

quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in

 

1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen

 

to show a passport to."

 

 

 

You

 

could have heard a pin drop.

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am proud to be of this land, AMERICA
