    Help fix Social Security

    2010 is an election year for 1/3 of the senate and all of the house of representatives. It would be nice if congress got the message;
    the voting taxpayers are in charge now
    .


    Social Security 2009


    LET US SHOW OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON "PEOPLE POWER" AND THE POWER OF THE INTERNET.

    PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS.

    IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT!

    KEEP IT GOING!!!!

    Propose this in 2009:

    START A MOVEMENT TO PLACE
    ALL POLITICIANS ON SOCIAL SECURITY



    ------------ --------- --------- ----

    SOCIAL SECURITY:

    (This is worth reading.
    It is short and to the point.)


    Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.

    Our Senators and Congresswomen

    do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it.

    You see, Social Security benefits
    were not suitable for

    persons of their rare elevation in society
    .
    They felt they should have a
    special plan

    for themselves So, many years ago they voted in their

    own
    benefit plan.

    In more recent years, no congress person has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan.


    For all practical purposes their plan
    works like this:

    When they retire, they continue
    to draw the same pay until they die.

    Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments. ....

    For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw $7, 800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with their wives drawing $275, 000..00 during the last years of their lives.
    This is calculated on an average life span for each of those Dignitaries.


    Younger Dignitaries
    who retire at an early age, will receive much more during the
    rest of their lives.


    Their cost for this excellent plan to them is
    $0.00
    . NADA!!! ZILCH!!!

    This little perk they voted for
    themselves is free to them.

    You and I pick up the tab for this plan
    .
    The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly from the General Funds;


    "OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"!


    From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid) into, every payday until we retire (which amount is matched by our employer), We can expect to get an average of
    $1,000 per month after retirement.

    Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly benefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator Bill Bradley's benefits!

    Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.

    That change would be to


    Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen. . Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us

    Then sit back......

    And see how fast they would fix it!

    If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good changes will evolve.

    Libraries set to close

    Philadelphia libraries to close Oct. 2

    Pennsylvania's budget deadlock also means 3,000 city employees could get pink slips on Friday.

    Posted by Elizabeth Strott on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 10:16 AM

    The City of Brotherly Love isn't showing much to book lovers.

     

    All 54 of Philadelphia's libraries are scheduled to close because the state of Pennsylvania has not been able to pass a budget to fund the library system.

     

    "All branch and regional library programs, including programs for children and teens, after school programs, computer classes, and programs for adults, will be cancelled," the Free Library posted in a notice on its Web site. All 250,000 books, disks and other items that have been borrowed are now due Oct. 1, and nothing can be borrowed after Sept. 30.

     

    Pennsylvania lawmakers are still deadlocked over a proposed state budget that was supposed to have been enacted on July 1.

     

    Gov. Ed Rendell on Monday said he would veto a legislative budget plan proposed last Friday, calling the $27.9 budget proposal an overestimation of the sources of revenue needed to balance the budget. 

     I guess I am supposed to feel sympathethic or empathetic relative to the libraries closing, but I cannot muster the strength.  Most of us work for companies that do not have pension plans or "sweet retirement programs" and we have to make our own if possible.  Some of us have had to dip into those plans to take care of the current downtrend in our individual finances.  Some of us don't go to the libraries for fear of the homeless who are everywhere, even showering in the restrooms.  Books, sad to say, are a thing of the past, and soon, like the typewriter, they too will be gone.  Of course die hards will cry out, but society is movig on and we have to move on or get left behind.  A librarian works twenty years for the library, retires and then makes an equivelent salary for the rest of his or her LONG life.  They live another 35 years or so and we pay for that.  Pensions need to be relaistic and people need to learn how to save on their own.  Our government is way overfed for this VERY LEAN time and it is time to cut back layoff and right the ship.  GO GOOGLE!

    Philadelphia had been banking on a 1% sales tax increase and a change in pension payment plans to help it fund library operations. If the budget does not pass within the next two weeks, the city said it will lay off all library employees.

     

    The state budget mess could also force Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter to move forward on his so-called "Plan C" doomsday budget, beyond the closure of the libraries. Plan C would lay off 3,000 city workers, eliminate court-system funding and shut down all recreation centers. The city will send out pink slips to the 3,000 employees on Friday unless the budget passes before then.

     

    Philadelphia's library system is the sixth-largest public library in the nation. Benjamin Franklin created its precursor, the Library Company of Philadelphia, which was the first public library in the country.

    WATER VERSUS WINE

     To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine...

     and those who don't.

     

      As Ben Franklin said: 

    In wine there is wisdom. 
    In beer there is freedom
    .
    In water there is bacteria.'


    In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists  demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop. 


    However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting. 

    Remember: 
    Water  =  Poop    
      Wine    =   Health  

    Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid,

     

    than to drink water and be full of shit. 

    There is no need to thank me for this valuable information; I'm doing it as a public service.

    Globalization

    ---Finally,
    a definition of globalization that
    I can understand and to which I now can relate:

    Question
    :
    What is the truest definition
    of Globalization?


    Answer:
    Princess
    Diana's
    death.


    Question
    :
    How come?


    Answer
    :

    An
    English princess

    with an
    Egyptian boyfriend

    crashes
    in a French tunnel,

    driving a


     

    German
    car

    with a
    Dutch engine,


     

    driven
    by a Belgian


     

    who was
    drunk


     

    on
    Scottish whisky,

    (check the bottle before you
    change the spelling),


     

    followed
    closely by


     

    Italian
    Paparazzi,


     

    on
    Japanese motorcycles;


     

    treated
    by an American doctor,

    using


     

    Brazilian
    medicines.


     

    This is
    sent to you by


     

    a,
    Canadian
     
    using
    Bill Gates's technology,

     
    and
    you're probably reading
    this on your computer,

     
    that
    uses Taiwanese chips,

    and

    a

    Korean
    monitor,


     
    assembled
    by

     
    Bangladeshi
    workers


     

    in a
    Singapore plant,


     

    transported
    by Indian

    truck drivers,

     

    hijacked
    by Indonesians,


     

    unloaded by
    Sicilian longshoremen,


     

    and
    trucked to you by Mexican illegals....

    .

    That, my friends,
    is
    Globalization

    Legal persnippity continues

    I told my wife before I received this that this attorney would bail on me...  It is a part of the legal profession I have come to detest, there is absolutely no accontability.  He knows the case is close to coming to an end and he will not be able to soak me any longer, so instead of settling he is bailing.  I have spoken to other attorney who say my next call should be to the bar for a formal complaint... we will see!

                Re:            Kruse v. Fisher-O.C.S.C. Case No. 30-2008-00101183-CU-BT-CJC

                            Your Letter of August 28, 2009

     

    Dear Mr. Fisher:

     

                I got your e-mail dated August 28, 2009.  On the positive side, you are a skilled writer.  On the negative side, your letter reflects an extreme lack of veracity.  It is also an inappropriate characterization of the legal services provided by me, Mr. Scott, and Ms. Schultz. 

     

                Your letter is so inaccurate that it is clearly time for you to engage alternate counsel.  The lack of veracity with regard to me makes it unrealistic for me to continue to have confidence in any representation that you make.

     

                I am willing to meet with you one last time, but if the issues are not resolved, then I intend to file a motion to be relieved from my duties as the attorney of record for the Estate Services Group in state court and as counsel for you in the bankruptcy case.  Please resolve this matter by the close of business on September 3, 2009.  In the bankruptcy case, you can represent yourself or you can be represented by Ms. Gibson.  As to the Estate Services Group, I would suggest that you contact Mr. Scott and see if he is willing to represent that corporation.  Otherwise, you probably can locate other counsel.

     

                                                                            Sincerely,

     

     

                                                                            Michael Creamer

    Michael, I have asked Mr. Scott to get involved in our meeting.  As to the services of Scott and Schultz, I didn't hint or mention a thing either verbally of in writing to you, relative to any unhappiness with them, again YOUR lack of veracity.  
     
    You once again shy away from what was specifically mentioned in my communication to you in attempted craftiness, legal verbose and maneuvering. 
     
    You give me deadlines, but why is it you cannot muster up enough strength to get off your lethargic derrière and give deadlines to opposing counsel and get this thing closed like you should?  Why is it so easy for you just to bail on me?  Is that an advocate-- sincerely?

    Robert, for him to bail now, I would think to be the nail in the coffin for the issues I addressed in my communication to him.  I respectfully submit to you that he get this closed like he should.  A deadline of September 3, to me, falls under the "back alley" blackmail catagory again, when compared with the FACT that he has given NOT ONE SINGLE DEADLINE TO English, or for that matter even spoken to him!  If I meet with him, it must be in your presence.
