Ponzi scheme victim Ben Stiller and other employees cheated out of their pensions enlist the aid of criminal Eddie Murphy to break into a high-rise apartment and steal back their money in Tower Heist, Brett Ratner's crime comedy that opens in theaters this weekend. The Ocean's 11-style caper co-stars Casey Affleck, Alan Alda, Matthew Broderick, Téa Leoni and Gabourey "Precious" Sidibe.
The combination of Stiller and Murphy got us thinking how many times Hollywood has paired two leads of different races and put them in a buddy scenario. Maybe moviemakers think that stirring the ethnic pot will produce more flavor. Murphy has already proven its effectiveness in 1982's 48 Hrs. in which he plays a convict who helps the San Francisco police officer played by Nick Nolte catch a cop killer. 48 Hrs. is not only Murphy's film debut, it is considered the film that birthed the buddy-cop genre and one that sparked its affinity for multiracial pairings.
Both Murphy and Nolte returned for 1990's Another 48 Hrs., but by that time other films had exploited its formula for success. Richard Donner's smash hit 1987 film Lethal Weapon stars Mel Gibson as LAPD Narcotics Detective Sergeant Martin Riggs who, after the recent death of his wife and a meltdown on the job, is reluctantly paired with LAPD Homicide Detective Sergeant Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover). The two paired up for three more sequels, the last one being 1998's Lethal Weapon 4, which added Jet Li and Chris Rock to the ethnic mix.
In 1986's Running Scared, Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal play oddball police detectives whose unorthodox methods help them solve crimes in Chicago's North Side. A few years later in 1989 (although it wasn't released directly to vide until 1992), Jay Leno played a Detroit police officer paired with Japanese cop Pat Morita to recover a stolen Japanese turbocharger in Collision Course.
Years before 48 Hrs. sparked the black-and-white cop combo, Sidney Poitier played a Philadelphia detective who is mistakenly apprehended by small-town Mississippi police chief played by Bill Gillespie in 1967's In the Heat of the Night. The chief demeans Poitier until he realizes his error and releases the man, which frees Poitier to lead a murder investigation in the town and forces the chief to work with him. This could be the first instance of buddy-cop racial reconciliation on film, and one that surely inspired movies like 48 Hrs. and Lethal Weapon.
It remains to be seen if Ratner's Tower Heist will rake in the cash like his first multiracial matchup, 1998's Rush Hour. The popular film exploited the culture clash between Hong Kong Detective Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) and LAPD Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker). Ratner returned to direct his dynamic duo in both Rush Hour 2 and Rush Hour 3, proving yet again that a little bit of ethnic diversity does the box office good.

This episode contains examples of:
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: Peter chastises Chris for treating Anna like a human being and says that acting like a bad boy will be a first-class ticket to sex. It backfires and she breaks up with him. But he apologizes to her in the end, and she forgives him.
- Halfway Plot Switch: The first half is about Peter adopting a parrot and becoming a mock pirate, while the second half is Peter trying to help Chris find a girlfriend after he ruins one of his dates.
- Innocent Innuendo: Lois is surprised when Chris tells her that Anna "took a dump" on him, but is relieved when he tells her that he meant "break up".
- Noodle Incident: Quagmire apparently had sex with a crossing guard that he later found out was twelve years old.
- Overly Long Gag: Peter trying to pick up the dead bullfrog and throw it out Chris' window without touching it with his hands.
- A Pirate 400 Years Too Late: Provides the page image.
- Vomit Indiscretion Shot: To make Brian sick to have an excuse to see Anna again, he makes Brian vomit by lifting Meg's shirt up.

Basically, they don't make triple-channel kits of memory for my LGA1366 i7-980x processor anymore. But they do make quad-channel kits for the new 2nd generation i7-3930K processor. Is this memory compatible with my older processor? I plan on buying a quad-channel kit and using only 3 sticks. Is there any actual difference between memory based on generation of processor?
There is no real notion of "memory based on generation of processor". The memory specs are the memory specs, and they're really independent of the processor generation. Some processor generations require new RAM specifications; some don't. For example, the Ivy Bridge mainstream processors -- e.g. i7-3770K, which is not to be confused with Sandy Bridge-E, the 3930K you referred to -- use the same dual channel DDR3 memory that has been in use since at least the Core 2 era (older than your LGA1366).
The real question you should be asking is whether quad-channel memory can run in compatibility mode in a triple-channel configuration.
My understanding is that, overall, memory sticks are not specifically manufactured to run in a specific channel configuration, except, I think, in the case of dual channel. So the general rule is, if you have dual, triple or quad channel memory, it can probably be made to work with any dual, triple, or quad channel motherboard that otherwise supports the timings, clock rate, capacity (amount) and generation (e.g. DDR3) that the particular RAM module has.
However, there are some memory modules that are manufactured with less rigorous specifications / procedures to meet a lower price point. These modules can sometimes fail to work in channel configurations of more channels than they are advertised for. So for example, certain models of Kingston RAM that are specifically "dual channel" will not work on triple or quad channel configurations. However, quad channel modules should always be able to go "down" to triple channel.
From Wikipedia:
(and further down in the quad-channel section):
The first paragraph, as I interpret it, tells me that the system will tax the memory modules "harder" in higher channel configurations, which might explain why certain cheap dual channel RAM will not work in triple or quad configurations, yet quad configurations tend to work very well as triple channel. The second paragraph says that, on a quad-channel motherboard, if you plug in four quad-channel memory modules and then remove one (or insert any multiple of 3 sticks that is not divisible by 4), the system operates in triple channel mode. So that tells me that for certain, quad-channel RAM can operate in triple-channel mode.
There will be no difference between the memory modules in a "quad channel" kit and using only three memory sticks (modules) compared to a "triple channel" kit.
The kit is basically just a group of memory modules that came off the production line at the same time and so should have exactly the same timings and other features as each other module in the kit. It is entirely possible that you could go into a shop, buy three of one type of memory module and be given three sticks that came from the same batch but there's a chance you'd get one or more from different batches.
Having the modules from different batches is not necessarily a problem in itself, the only problem comes if they came from batches before and after a specification change whereby one module might be working to slightly faster timings compared to other modules.
Even then having these difference may not affect the system in a way that you would even notice, it might be down to loosing a couple of MB/s on a benchmark.

Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Loss Reserve Program
About the PACE Loss Reserve Program
In 2013, Senate Bill 96 directed the California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority (CAEATFA) to develop the PACE Loss Reserve Program (the Program) to mitigate the potential risk to mortgage lenders associated with residential PACE financing. The $10 million Loss Reserve will make first mortgage lenders whole for any losses in a foreclosure or a forced sale that are attributable to a PACE lien covered under the Program. The goal of the Program is to put first mortgage lenders in the same position they would be in without a PACE lien.
PACE administrators can participate in the Program by applying to CAEATFA and demonstrating that they meet the Program's minimum underwriting criteria. Once a PACE program is enrolled, the Loss Reserve will cover assessments issued by that program for their full terms, or until funds are exhausted. Enrolled PACE programs report their financing activity to CAEATFA semi-annually.

The Palestinian flower of North Korea
- By Isaac Stone FishIsaac Stone Fish is FP's Asia editor. A Mandarin speaker, he lived in China for seven years before moving to Washington, D.C. His articles have also appeared in the New York Times, the Economist, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times, and he has appeared as a commentator on MSNBC, the BBC, NPR, Al Jazeera, and PRI, among others.

According to the website NKnews.org, deceased North Korean leader Kim Jong Il had a Palestinian "foster child;" Jindallae Safarini, the daughter of the former Palestinian ambassador to North Korea:
"Her parents had reportedly not been able to have children during their ten-year stay in Pyongyang from 1982-1992. Upon hearing this, Kim Jong Il apparently assigned fertility experts to the couple and, following successful treatment, suggested they name her "Jindallae", after the Korean rendering of "azalea," an eye-catchingly pink flowering shrub, not too dissimilar from the Kimilsungia flower, named after Kim Il Sung by the first president of Indonesia."
Isolated North Korea has pretty good relations with several Arab states and organizations; though it's not every day one hears about Kim Jong Il's Palestinian foster daughter. NK News also features a documentary of Safarini which ran on North Korean television.

I wake up the next morning still in a high state of arousal. I can still could taste my wife's pussy juice on my lips. I lie back lightly stroking my erection ,revisiting the images of my wife with Andrew and the excitement after Lynn and I returned home. I still have a hard time believing that I had witnessed my sweet wife sucking off another man. Fantasy is one thing, but seeing her acting...Read On

Michelle leaves Brandon satisfied!
Michael was going crazy waiting at home and imagining what Michelle might be doing right at that moment. It had been over an hour since she had sent the text and his mind was filled with erotic images of her and Brandon. He had already had a couple of beers and even smoked a joint yet he felt like, instead, he had drunk five cups of black coffee. When Michelle left the house he became hard...Read On

Michelle finally comes home to Michael
Michael heard the garage door open and he knew Michelle was finally home. He was waiting for her dressed in an open shirt and black silk shorts. He got off the couch and made his way to the hallway so he could greet her the moment she came in through the garage door. Michael was nervous. As Michelle pushed the button to close the garage door, she took a deep breath. She sat in the car for...Read On

Re: What age did you buy your first home?
Definetely just beginning to think about it. I am desperately trying to get rid of Wachovia charge off account. I have sent numerous PFD letters with no response. Its been about 6 months since I have heard anything from Wachovia. I will be finishing up my degree in the next 2 years and more then likely will transfer to active duty then. I have a good paying job now, around 36k after taxes and beginning to save up some money. I have a large balance on my credit cards now as I have been using them to buy christmas gifts but I usually see 80 score increase whenever I pay them off completely. I currently have 3 credit cards that I have applied for on my 18th birthday(yes, thats right) and have had them every since with no lates. I have a paid off lease through Aarons on some furniture that has been reported. $500 peronal loan from Navy Federal and a brand new (just mailed my first payment) auto loan through ford credit. Should I add another line of credit in the mix for a better long term outcome or am I ok? I have no trouble making my current payments.
Single charge off, Wachovia won't PFD.

Diana Olick is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, currently serving as CNBC's real estate correspondent as well as the author of the Realty Check section on CNBC.com, which won the Gracie Award for "Outstanding Blog" in 2015. She also contributes her real estate expertise to NBC's "Today" and "NBC Nightly News."
Prior to joining CNBC in 2002, Olick spent seven years as a correspondent for CBS News.
Olick began her career as a local news reporter at WABI-TV in Bangor, Maine; WZZM-TV in Grand Rapids, Mich.; and KIRO-TV in Seattle. She joined CBS in 1994 as a New York-based correspondent for the "CBS Evening News with Dan Rather" and "The Early Show." She also contributed pieces to "48 Hours" and "Sunday Morning." During that time, she covered such stories as the World Trade Center conspiracy trial and the Boston abortion clinic shooting.
In 1995, Olick was assigned to cover the Midwest as a Dallas bureau correspondent. In the three years she was there, she covered all forms of natural disaster, including the crash of TWA Flight 800, the JonBenet Ramsey murder mystery and was the exclusive correspondent for the trial of Oklahoma City bomber Terry Nichols. During that time, she also took a temporary assignment in CBS' Moscow bureau, where she chronicled the brief presidential campaign of Mikhail Gorbachev.
In 1998, Olick was reassigned to the New York bureau and then immediately posted to Bahrain for the buildup to a possible second Gulf War. A year later, she went to Albania to cover the U.S. military buildup during the conflict in Kosovo.
Upon her return, Olick was reassigned to CBS' Washington bureau and the Capitol Hill beat. During Campaign 2000, Olick covered the Senate campaign of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and later joined the Bush campaign as a special correspondent for "The Early Show." That fall, she was named Supreme Court correspondent; her first case was Bush v. Gore.
Olick has a B.A. in comparative literature with a minor in soviet studies from Columbia College in New York and a master's degree in journalism from Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism.

At the beginning of the housing crash, sellers would advertise, "Buy our house, get the flat screen TV's!" Then, as the market deteriorated further, they touted, "Buy our house, and we'll throw in the car!" Now it's "Buy our house, get a second house too!" Such is the sad state of real estate in America today.
Big lenders like Chase, Wells Fargo and PHH have increased their jumbo volumes by a lot in just the first six months of this year.
The combined Real Estate Owned inventory of the three rose 24 percent quarter to quarter and 93 percent year over year.
The Pending Homes Sales Index fell 1.8 percent in September...the first indicator of the foreclosure scandal's impact on potential buyers.
Seventeen out of the fifty state attorneys general currently investigating the robo-signing foreclosure scandal at some of the nation's largest lenders will be out of a job in a few months.
A condo expert I was interviewing in Miami Beach told me that at the current sales pace there is an 18 year (yes, year) supply of condos on the market here. As I was trying to digest that, the Census released its quarterly home owner/vacancy report, and noted that there are close to 19 million vacant homes in America today. And that's a quarterly improvement.
Foreclosure "actions" in Q3, which include anything from default notices to bank repossessions, rose in 65 percent of the nation's top 200 housing markets.
In all the headlines screaming about the big banks and their messy foreclosure practices, we may have overlooked another set of players in the scandal: Home Builders.
With distressed properties running at 35 percent of all sales and foreclosures being more than 2/3 of those, the foreclosure freeze will negate a huge portion of the current data in the coming months.
Noise. There's an awful lot of it in today's report on September existing home sales from the National Association of Realtors. Even the markets could hear the noise, as they didn't react all that much to the 10 percent jump in sales that completely beat expectations.

EXCL. PREVIEW: "Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps" #1 Enforces 'Sinestro's Law'
Comic Books
Even with this large amount of comic books that have been collected in trade paperbacks, there are still a number of great comic books that have never been reprinted (I'd say roughly 60% of them are DC Comics from the 1980s through the mid-1990s). So every day this month I will spotlight a different cool comic book that is only available as a back issue. Here is an archive of the comic books featured so far.
I want you folks to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com with your suggestions for comics that I should feature this month. I'd like to see what you all would like to see get more attention.
Reader Charles S. wrote in to suggest I spotlight one of the more notably uncollected Teen Titans storylines, the Trial of the Terminator!
With the popularity of The Judas Contract, it surprises me that DC has never collected this follow-up to that tale. Heck, they have only collected an issue or two of New Teen Titans AFTER Judas Contract, which is equally odd. In any event, the story began in Tales of the Teen Titans #53 and continued into #54 and 55, with Rich Buckler drawing the first two issues and Ron Randall drawing the third.
Deathstroke the Terminator is on trial following the events of the Judas Contract (although not necessarily FOR the events of the Judas Contract, mind you).
Things don't seem to be going smoothly…
Things get worse in #54…
Particularly when ANOTHER Deathstroke the Terminator shows up while Slade Wilson is in custody…
Eventually, Slade is set free, but we learn (as hinted above) that Changeling manipulated the whole situation (including using his father's mental projection helmet to project an image of Deathstroke during the trial so that Slade would be released).
He is doing so because HE wants to kill Deathstroke, for what he did to Terra…
Well, things don't go according to Gar's plan, either…
I won't spoil the rest of it, but do note that it has some of the strongest character work Marv Wolfman did during his entire run on Teen Titans. Very, very strong stuff – and you could argue that it was the beginning of the sort-of-redemption of the Terminator that went on during the 1990s, when Deathstroke got his own title (written by Wolfman). Those early Deathstroke issues were good stuff. I should probably feature that in Almost Hidden, as well (maybe in the future).
Dunno if people have noticed yet that this entry is down here, but yeah, this was a good story. I'd forgotten about most if it except for Gar's face-off with Slade. I'd especially forgotten that Vigilante was the judge–or that he even became a judge.
I remember this storyline for the mistake: Cyborg mentions the torture that occurred in the ocean HIVE base, and the lawyer notes that the base wasn't in the US jurisdiction. Except that those events took place in HIVE's Rocky Mountain base in Colorado, if I'm not mistaken.
I'm guessing the lack of Perez art keeps this from being collected.
I'd forgotten all about this story. I remember liking it and also being pretty impressed with the Rich Buckler/Mike Decarlo art. Speaking of non-Perez Titan artwork, did hey ever collect the JL Garcialopez run?
I just happened to read this recently. Very well done. I especially liked the ending with Gar and the Terminator. Talk abotu character development!
LOVED the ending of this. Marv Wolfman has commented TotTT #55 is one of the works he is most proud of. While the trial can kind of be glossed over, I have always thought that the final face off should have been included with the TBP of Judas Contract.
Love your columns! I wish they would collect Atlantis Chronicles
The trial of the Terminator will be included in the Third Teen Titans Omnibus

Several people have asked me about two things that have popped up on Amazon with me as an author, so I thought I'd mention them both here.
One is a "paperback" version of 31 Days to Fix Your Finances. Someone (I do not know who) downloaded the files that I give away for free, packaged them as a paperback through CreateSpace, and is selling them for $10.95 a pop. I don't earn a penny from this, but I'm not wholeheartedly opposed to it, either, as it's part of the equation when you write a lot of content and distribute it freely.
The other is more interesting. 1001 Ways to Make Money If You Dare is a fairly humorous book that I contributed a foreword to and helped edit a bit – I didn't write it, though Amazon lists me as an author, but I'm mentioned on the cover as an editor. It's intended to be a fun book – there are a lot of good ideas in there, but there are quite a few put in there for humor's sake, too. It's a good book for brainstorming ideas if you're trying to earn a few dollars in your spare time, done with a very light tone. This is not my aforementioned second book – that's still a work in progress, and I think most of you will find it quite compelling.
That being said, here are some interesting personal finance links.
A Guide to Beating the Fears That Are Holding You Back The biggest reason people are afraid to make real, lasting changes in their life is fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of change, fear of losing something. Quite often, all those fears do is hold you back. (@ zen habits)
I Have No Need or Desire to Be Wealthy I completely, totally agree with this sentiment. I don't want to be wealthy. If I was suddenly given hundreds of millions of dollars, I'd focus on giving most of it away to charities. (@ my two dollars)
How to Save Money at Baseball Games I was actually about to write an article something like this one, since my family and I are likely to go to a few baseball games this summer. (@ lazy man and money)
33 Ways to Thwart Identity Theft Many of these techniques have other benefits beyond merely protecting you from identity theft. They can reduce your junk mail load, for one. (@ man vs. debt)
Are You an Over-Buyer or an Under-Buyer? What's strange is that frugality is usually associated with under-buying, but I see elements of over-buying, too. Bulk buying is a great frugal strategy, after all. (@ happiness project)

I saw 1001 Ways to Make Money at my local Barnes & Noble last weekend. Definitely entertaining. :)
ADW says:
when you click on the picture of the 31 days book at amazon and then go to the next page it brings up the copyright info for Leon H Rowntree III with the usual cannot reproduce content etc. So he took your content freely, but now wants to copyright it for himself. next he will be claiming you took his info for your website!!!! I think you should leave a comment on Amazon explaining the content is aavilable free at your site. or if you don't want to maybe the trent army of readers can……
chris says:
Trent- did you look at the amazon preview for '31 Days to Fix Your Finances'?
On the inside cover:
"Copyright 2009 by Leon H Roundtree III
All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means without written permission from the author."
I don't know about you– but I'd feel violated.
michael says:
Even though you distribute stuff for free, you should absolutely put a stop to someone else selling YOUR content…and you should fight for whatever earnings they've made off your stuff. Even if you don't agree that it should be made for profit, donate whatever money it is to charity.
You aren't totally against someone profiting off of your work? I don't understand why you wouldn't be. I am beginning to think you are far too passive. Could you please explain why you aren't raging on the inside about someone using your hard work, creativity, name and readership in order to put money into their own pocket. They don't deserve to be making money from your work. You shouldn't just roll over and let this happen. If it were me, I'd be very angry.
Aman@BullsBattleBears says:
1001 ways to make money? The title sound interesting enough. Hopefully they are legal means!
firstname.lastname@example.com says:
I agree with not wanting to be wealthy – what is the point? You just end up trying to find expensive things to spend your money on, or even worse just hoarding it. Very sad! I would like a bit more money than I have now though :)
imelda says:
I'm with Steven. I am OUTRAGED at the principle of someone plagiarizing your work and profiting from it. You can't just accept this, Trent. As a writer by profession you should understand the dangers and the *wrongness* of letting a plagiarizer blithely continue with their crimes. What that person has done is theft, plain and simple. You ought to contact Amazon and let them know what has happened. Right now, I am going to amazon myself to leave a review on that product to say effectively the same thing.
Johanna says:
The copyright page of the 31 days book lists the copyright holder as Leon H. Rountree III, an attorney in Oakland, California, who works in (among other things) bankruptcy law. I'm not sure why he's interested in helping people fix their finances. Maybe he's hedging his bets. :)
@Steven: When you release your work into the public domain (as Trent has) and explicitly state that people are free to redistribute it as they see fit (as Trent also has), I don't see how you can get mad when people actually take you up on that. It's not like Mr. Rountree is presenting Trent's work as his own – he lists Trent as the author and includes the Simple Dollar website address. There are already a couple of reviews that mention that the same information is available for free on the website. If Mr. Rountree can nevertheless get people to pay money for the book, I say good for him.
Amy says:
Trent, I'm not an expert, but I strongly believe that you should issue a cease and desist letter to the person who packaged your book, and/or to Amazon. If I understand correctly, if you don't protect your copyright, you lose the right to do so later. That means a huge commercial publisher could say "hey! WE can print and sell that book"! And they could make a lot of money, of which you wouldn't see a dime.
You don't have to go after monetary damages — just assert your right as the copyholder to at least keep anyone else from making money from it.
Completely up to you, of course! But your post just raised red flags all over the place for me! ;-)
DebtGoal says:
How to Save Money at Baseball Games is excellent. Much of our readership cares about the frugality tips likes those presented in it.
Mister E says:
@Amy #4
If I'm not mistaken I believe Trent has freely renounced his copyrights to all his work posted here. There's nothing to defend. Scroll all the way down and click the link that says "Read this for more information".
If I AM mistaken I'm sure someone will correct me.
Gibson says:
I'm afraid I have to agree with the posts above. You should be concerned when someone else tries to make money off of your work. If they were giving it away, fine. Redirecting to your site, fine. Even binding it and selling it at cost, fine. But someone is trying to make money off of you. If there is a demand (AND THERE MIGHT BE!!!) for your work in print, I think you should explore that.
Check out Wil Wheaton's site: http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/
He's written a few books, but has recently reformatted and annotated many of his blog posts into a new format and is selling them to people who want nice, shelf-ready hard copies. Sunken Treasure is his most recent one and I think you would benefit from his insights into making a living as a writer and a self-publisher. You could find a totally new source of income with a high work/reward ratio. Wil is making a living and raising a family this way.
Follow the links back to learn the whole story, but Trent, it's obvious there is demand for your work, you should profit from it, not anyone else.
Joseph Tanner says:
Right, once it's in the public domain, you can't reel it back in. You can make changes to the content though, then copyright that new work. So someone taking content from his site that's in the public domain, and packaging it up all nice and pretty to sell commercially, is just fine. Trent can take this content, make some changes and tidy it up for a book, and the book could be copyrighted. If anyone tries to take the content in that book and pass it off as their own, now they're in trouble.

Love the tips on saving money at ballgames. I frequently bring food or snacks in to the games at U.S. Cellular in Chicago.
Kevin says:
I have a couple of problems with the "I have no need to be wealthy" article on MyTwoDollars. For example, it says:
"My parents showed me one very important thing through my childhood, and that is that you do not need to be rich in order to have a full and happy life."
That's because in your childhood, they were young and healthy enough to work. So sure, I'll agree that as long as you're young and healthy, you don't need to be rich to have a full and happy life.
But if you're old or sick and incapable of earning an income, what then?
"[My grandfather] retired with his pension to a comfortable life with my grandmother. They had a regular house, in a regular neighborhood, and drove late-model American cars. They had no desire to be rich. "
If your grandparents had sufficient pension income to allow them to live in a safe ("regular") neighborhood, in a decent-sized ("regular") house, and drive relatively new cars all the time, then they WERE RICH. You have to include a pension's equivalent cash value when evaluating someone's net worth. And if someone's receiving a pension sufficient to allow them to live like your grandparents did, then that pension would have a cash value in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, at least. In what world is that NOT considered "rich?"
"I honestly have no need to be wealthy in my life. Comfortable? Yes, absolutely."
But that's just it – in order to be "comfortable" without being gainfully employed, you need a critical mass of invested assets that would be considered "wealthy" by any sane definition of the word. For example, say you're happily plugging along your life, earning $40,000/year. Then you decide to retire. How much do you need to have saved up in order to continue to live "comfortably" with the same income of $40,000? The answer is $1 million. Whether that income is coming from investment assets, or a pension, or social security, or a combination of the 3, it doesn't matter. They'd have an equivalent cash value of $1 million. I'm confident the vast, vast majority of people would consider that "rich."
I think either the author doesn't understand how investment income works, or he has an unusual definition of "rich."
@ #6 & 7- I guess you are correct about the public domain, but I still feel it is a low-down thing for a person to do. I think that the idea Trent was getting at when releasing his writting into public domain is that it be used to expand his audience through printed papers and other websites/blogs. I'm sure when he was considering the release into public domain he didn't say to himself "It is perfectly okay with me if someone bundles up my work and uses it to profit off of my good name, audience and readership."
Regardless of the public domain situation, if I were Trent, I would be upset. It is my creativity and my work being sold to make someone else a profit. If you have ever done creative work only to see it being used to the benefit of someone else, it stings. At least they are crediting his name and website…at least.
Marsha says:
Trent, please consult with an attorney who specializes in intellectual property about your position on copyrighting (or not) your work. I'm not trying to tell you what position you should take, but I just want you to make it fully informed of the legal consequences.
I would hate to see the next Suze Orman emerge by stealing your material. You work very hard and are very earnest. I just don't want people taking unfair advantage of you and your family.
If you need help finding an IP lawyer in your area, please email me. I may be able to find someone.
Michele says:
Legal or not, I'd be quite perturbed if someone packaged my work and was making money on it. Ugh.
Angie says:
I know this is a SUPER touchy subject around these parts, but I do think it would be nice if Trent responded to some of the comments.
Mister E says:
@Steven #10
Actually he does say pretty much that in his article on the release.
Incidentally I'd be upset too, but in reading his article on the matter it's pretty clear he'd thought it through and was prepared that a situation exactly like this could come up.
Jonathan@Friends&Money says:
33 Ways to Thwart Identity Theft is probably one of the best blogsphere articles i've read on the subject, glad you picked up on it and posted it here.
Jerry says:
On the "31 days to fix your finances" web page, Trent explicitly states that while he is giving it away, others may NOT sell his work. That may not be an iron-clad contract, someone turning around and selling his writing is a slimy thing to do.
michael says:
Leon H. Roundtree III is apparently the creator of the paperback edition.
michael says:
oh, and he's a lawyer in Cali. Hmm. Same guy?
Brandon says:
@Jerry, Steven, et. al.
I really think Trent knew what he was doing when he released his works to the public domain. If not, tough ****, that is how it works. It is the same thing as me republishing a copy of a Jane Austen novel.
I think Trent is smart enough to know that he could have used something like the Creative Commons license otherwise. He has no right to control distribution of his work now.
Brandon says:
@Jerry – It does not matter what the 31 days to fix your finances page says. The release of copyright after that supercedes it.
Jimbo says:
Angie – don't you know Trent doesn't have the time to respond. It's his blog he can do whatever he likes. It's not like other big blog writers such as JD and Leo participate in the comments. Oh wait…
Jerry says:
I understand that Trent's work is in the public domain. My last comment line should read "That may not be an iron-clad contract, BUT someone turning around and selling his writing is a slimy thing to do."
Your comment is correct in the legal sense, but I hope you realize that you are implicitly condoning immoral behavior. 'Technically legal' is not the same thing as ethical, not by a long shot. Perhaps this is why lawyers' reputations are somewhere between those of politicians and used car sales. (BTW, my nephew works at a law firm. I have nothing personal against lawyers.)
Ethan says:
Perhaps you should look into releasing your work under the Creative Commons license. I think you'd find it useful and fair.
Kris says:
@ Jerry,
Look at 90% of the self help books out there and you will see they are nothing more than public knowledge you can find for free if you search for it. Most of the time, all the author did was re-package that info into a book. But hey, if someone is willing to pay that person for information they could have found freely. Since the author did the research and packaged it into a book so the reader wouldn't have to, doesn't he or she deserve to be compensated?
Trent is not out any money as its info he gives freely and he has no right to it as he clearly expresses it can be re-used with this statement. "If you want to reuse an article from The Simple Dollar in your newspaper, newsletter, or anything else, go right ahead."
I don't see where there is a legal or ethical problem here. I am sure Trent knew something like this would happen before he ever offered up his articles as free public domain.
@ Brandon- I don't think it would be the same thing as you reprinting and selling a Jane Austin novel because there is a limitation on the length of proprietary rights, and since Jane Austin wrote her work during the early 1800s, that time limit has far expired.
It is unfortunate that this has taken place, and I still say that if it were me this was happening to, I'd be very upset.
Rick says:
To all those worrying about the "31 Days to Fix your Finances", there's something you missed. Many people don't place such a huge emphasis on intellectual property. In fact, there are many who believe that intellectual property is not property at all. If you can make the claim that someone "stole" Trent's work, it would be tough to back up that claim. Trent has suffered no physical loss. Nobody took anything from Trent. Nobody directly cost Trent any amount of money.
This is the same argument that supporters of file-sharing use. If you have a physical CD, and I take that from your possession, I have stolen something from you. However, if you copy the CD and share it on the Internet, I can download it all I want. I am not taking anything from you. My actions do not cost you anything. In other words, intellectual property can not be compared to physical property in any way.
I think that Trent understands this.
A rock band does not make much money at all from selling CDs. The band makes the vast majority of its money doing tours, selling tickets to people who want to see them live.
In the same way, Trent does not make much money (directly) by writing for the simple dollar (although ad revenue does play a part). I would be willing to guess that Trent makes the vast majority of his money through contract work. People see his writing skills online, and they want to hire him. A publisher has already hired him to write two books. And Trent has alluded many times to other writing projects people have hired him to work on.
When people begin to understand this concept, the world will be a better place. A free flow of information is very beneficial to society. But when people fight for these imaginary intellectual property rights, this severely restricts the free flow of information, to the detriment of society.
Rachel says:
Hey Trent,
Ingram, the big distributor most bookstores use, is listing "1001 Ways To Make Money" as by you, too. Just by the by.
Rob says:
"I Have No Need or Desire to Be Wealthy"
Too late. "Wealthy" or "rich" tends to be defined on a sliding scale, usually a scale that's always looking to the people that make more than you. Which eventually rules out anybody not on a Forbes short list from considering themselves "rich." I think that's a very narrow perspective. I prefer a broader perspective.
I would consider a person to be wealthy when changes in income determine the level of comfort or luxury they can afford rather than what essentials they can afford. This definition classifies nearly all of the western world as wealthy. (This is especially true for bloggers.) Most westerners wonder how they will afford a particular square footage for their home rather than just a roof that won't collapse. It seems to me that we have a very inflated sense of 'wealthy'; and 'comfortable' for that matter.
I have no problem with people being wealthy. I just think that most people, including the author of my two dollars, have more to be grateful for than they realize.
IRG says:
No, I don't expect you would get angry or POd, although I can see why many would expect you to be.
But…to take no action and just let someone in essence steal your work AND profit off it? That's NOT what professionals do. Sorry, Trent. Everything we create is not for free. And you will, I predict, live to regret this decision to not take action. For a lot of the reasons mentioned here by others.
You either don't understand copyright laws, don't care or don't get how negatively this can affect your own business and marketability.
You do a great disservice to yourself and other bloggers and writers by treating this situation– someone taking your work and repackaging it for sale– so lightly.
Seriously. It makes no sense on your part. Passive? I think it's way beyond passive on your part and makes me seriously begin to question your professional motivation as a writer.
And your professionalism as a writer.
You're starting to come across like an "amateur" because no professional writer in their right mind allows people to steal their work for REUSE 1/ without their permission (giving a blanket permission on your site isn't the same as giving a blanket permission to republish and sell elsewhere) and 2/for someone else's personal profit.
I think you, like many writers, just don't like the messy parts of doing business as a writer.
You need to ask yourself how you can just basically roll over and play dead.
Giving away everything? For free, for anybody to do whatever? That's just plain, well, unprofessional. (There are some other words that apply but it's best to stick to the business aspects.)
I'm very disappointed in your response and you are, quite frankly, why so many writers can't get money for their work and why their work is devalued and stolen by others (big companies included.)
Yea. Let's just GIVE IT ALL AWAY. FREE FREE FREE. Not the way it works (unless you are making SOOO much money from your book that you think you can literally afford to give work away…Is this person who is selling your work a personal charity of yours? Cause that is how you are treating it.)
If you didn't have this blog and you were writing, trust me, that would not be your attitude.
Trent, Trent, Trent, I am totally disheartened by your choice on this.
You can't possibly take making a living by writing seriously.
CPA Marketing says:
I checked out a few of those links, some of them are very touching and have some very good information!
tightwadfan says:
When Trent released the copyright to his blog material, he took the risk of something like this happening, and he said he was aware of that. So he's not "rolling over" on this, he's accepting the consequences of his decision. In fact, I would lose respect for him if he started whining now and running off to a lawyer.
It is incredibly slimy, even though in this case legal, to sell someone else's work and I would never buy this book or anything else by whoever did this. I searched briefly for it to see if I could leave some kind of comment to let potential buyers know that this guy is ripping off someone else's but I couldn't find the book. Hopefully it won't see the light of day or sell many copies.
tightwadfan says:
What I was wondering is did the guy who made the paperback credit Trent as the author or is he taking credit for the book?
Kevin says:
Why is everyone calling the book-seller "slimy?" Trent explicitely granted permission for this exact type of situation. Someone out there (let's call him a capitalist) saw an opportunity, took a risk (invested time packaging and listing the book), and now stands to profit. This is capitalism in action.
What makes him a "slimeball?" If someone puts their work out there and invites people to use it however they want, explicitely including profiting from it, is everyone supposed to just politely say "Gee, that's very generous of you, but I couldn't possibly take advantage of you like that." If Trent really thought there was profit to be made in that work, then he'd have retained the copyright and sold the work himself. Instead, he in essence is saying "I doubt there's any money to be made in this work, but you're welcome to try."
I disagree that this is at all slimy.
EngineerMom says:
@Kevin –
Actually, reading through Trent's release of copyright, he isn't saying "I doubt there's any money to be made". He's saying "It's more important to me for this information to get out there than it is that I get all the money made from such a distribution."
He DOES value his own work, but he values the distribution over change in his pocket. That's not the same thing as saying there isn't money to be made.
John says:
The point to all of this is that the actions of this cretin are not illegal. They are, however, worthy of all the scorn and disapprobation we can heap upon him.
The free market allows this guy to attempt this. That is as it should be.
It also allows us to peacefully try and influence others to limit his sucess.
In the old days, it was called shaming.
Now, Amazon and other sites offer us a handy way to do this. I have added my two cents in a review.
Bill in Houston says:
I like going to ball games, but it gets incredibly expensive. We used to get a burger, fries, and a beer each but that worked out to 30 bucks. Now we'll eat on the way (sandwiches) to the ballpark and bring a snack in my wife's purse.
Since I'm in Houston there is no cheap transportation near the ballpark. They purposefully built the "new" stadium without a parking lot to give local businesses a nice little payback when they charge for parking. You pay between five and ten bucks and walk four blocks. Not too bad.
We get tickets in the upper deck (12 bucks) or occasionally the outfield bleachers (7 bucks).
If we're smart we can see a ball game for $25 bucks including gas and parking. Going to major league games is an incredible ripoff, though. When in Austin we occasionally see the Astros' AAA team, the Round Rock Express. Tickets there are 12 bucks for box seats, 7 bucks for the outfield bleachers (The Home Run Porch) and 6 bucks if you want to sit on the lawn. Parking is cheap, too.
As for the person who downloaded Trent's book and is selling it, that's a theft of intellectual property. There IS money to be made here, but that's not the point. Why should some sleazebag profit from your work. I'd be filing a "cease and desist" order immediately.
Evita says:
I am shocked!
Trent, you turned around your life to become a professional writer and then you let someone person steal your work and sell it without any benefit to you?
Don't assume that the guy will not make much money out of it, why would he bother otherwise?
Please have a little respect for your work! I do, I downloaded "31 days to fix your finances" when I came across your site, and gladly paid the little $2, it was so worth it.
Don't be one of those starving, struggling writers because of your distate for business matters!

Koch-Powered Tea Party pushes climate denial bill in New Hampshire: "Neither man nor cow is responsible for global warming."
Fueled by the carbon pollution giant Koch Industries, Tea Party Republicans in New Hampshire are attempting to scuttle the state's involvement in the region's successful climate program. Brad Johnson has the story — and one NH legislator's amazing rationale.
Robocalls from Koch's Americans for Prosperity group flooded the state last weekend in support of a bill that would repeal participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, which has cut greenhouse and other pollution and created 1,130 jobs as a result of energy efficiency benefits. Rep. Sandra Keans (D-Rochester), told the Nashua Telegraph that AFP's calls were "sleazy" and deliberately false. "I have never seen such a cowardly perpetration pulled on the citizens of New Hampshire," Keans said.
On Wednesday, the state's overwhelmingly Republican House of Representatives voted to support HB 519 by a nearly party-line vote of 246 to 104 (13 Republicans voted against, two Democrats for). The bill has to pass through the finance committee before a final house vote and consideration by the senate. Gov. John Lynch (D-NH), who has touted the success of RGGI in making the air healthier while increasing economic prosperity, is expected to veto the bill, but Republicans hold veto-proof majorities in both chambers of the New Hampshire legislature. The bill is being championed by extreme climate deniers:
Deputy Majority Leader Shawn Jasper (R-Hudson) explained his vote: "Neither man nor cow is responsible for global warming."
Rep. James Garrity (R-Atkinson), chairman of the House's Science Technology and Energy Committee, claimed that RGGI relies on "shaky climate science."
Rep. Frank Holden (R-Lyndeboro), vice chairman of the House's Science, Technology and Energy Committee, wrote in the majority committee report that the "science of climate change is far from clear."
Rep. Andrew Manuse (R-Derry): "The reasons used to promote RGGI were based in false, exaggerated and highly politicized science."
In reality, with greenhouse pollution from fossil fuels building up in the atmosphere at an increasing rate, the world is now hotter than it has ever been in recorded history. New England is unambiguously warming. Fueled by the warmer world, catastrophic rainfall is rising, as "exemplified by the '100-year' floods that have occurred in southern New Hampshire in 2005, 2006, 2007."
Americans for Prosperity operatives gleefully praised the vote for pollution and global warming denial:
AFP VP for Policy Phil Kerpen hopes the vote "could deal the death blow to cap and trade both regionally and nationally."
AFP-NH Executive Director Corey Lewandowski: "We're delighted by the strong House vote for consumers."
AFP-NJ Executive Director Steve Lonegan, an admitted global warming denier, called the vote "a significant victory for ratepayers all over the Northeast."
Lonegan is spearheading the Koch Industries effort to kill RGGI in New Jersey, after its multi-million-dollar campaign to kill climate action in California failed miserably.
Koch Industries and the politicians it supports have been making the argument that limits on carbon pollution have "always been about the money" and a plot to "collect some money from all of us to redistribute that wealth to a few of us."
Of course, they fail to mention that by letting Koch Industries profit from billions of tons of carbon pollution for free, the government has actually allowed the Koch brothers to "collect some money from all of us to redistribute that wealth to a few of us" "" namely themselves "" while the lives of everyone else are put at risk. For the Kochs, it has "always been about the money." For the rest of us, it's simply about respect for science and the health of our planet.

Loads of deniers are at least saying global warming is happening now. Next time Watts et al says it isn't happening, post links to Koch et al. See if we can get them to battle it out so the scientists can get some work done.
[JR: Aren't you the pony-finding optimist!]
CP Romm'n'Legions might want to click on the link to support Tim DeChristopher, whose trial begins today. Tim courageously stopped the illegal auction of Utah wilderness for oil and gas drilling through an act of civil disobedience, and now faces the possibility of 10 years in jail.
He is a climate hero!
"A unionized public employee, a teabagger, and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table is a plate with a dozen cookies on it.

For the past few years I have been telling people that the Global Warming Deniers will still deny Global Warming even when the Arctic Ice Cap melts completely. When this happens my mockery of them will know no bounds.
As it is, I am looking for an appropriate sock puppet to use when talking to them, something green in color.
You expect this kind of thing in Texas or Wyoming, but things are really getting weird when the Kochs can stir up mischief in New England, even if it's the region's most conservative state.
It looks like the evidence of global warming will be even more obvious within five years. Berbalong, the deniers will then say
1. We can't afford a carbon price now, since global warming is wrecking the economy so much that there's no money for anything.
2. When the sunspots and ocean currents return to normal, we'll have cool weather again.
3. We're only going to do something if China acts first.
4. Scientists and their socialist allies are trying to trick us into
World Government.
In other words, the deniers cannot be expected to cease being dangerous idiots. The public won't know about the damage they have done until the media calls people to account, instead of nodding their heads and sticking microphones in front of people like Anthony Watts and James Inhofe. And they'd better start doing it now, before it's too late.
Doing nothing is not a default option, because we are already acting in ways that are causing climate change. The default option is continuing to emit greenhouse gases, in full knowledge that this activity is contributing to a very harmful problem. That is unethical: causing avoidable harm and suffering is unequivocally unethical.
To fail to act on climate change … now that would be unethical
If they think their legislature can overrule science, the next item on their agenda should be legislation repealing the second law of thermodynamics – dealing with limited energy supplies in the same way that they want to deal with global warming.
Seems like Ground Hog's Day is every day with the deniers. They repeat, repeat, repeat the lies, distortions and half-truths and then they repeat them again. Yet the public at large isn't swallowing it even though they are badly informed or not motivated to become fluent in climate science.
Does anyone know what happened to Simplex1swrhs90's YouTube channel?
If you are Simplex1swrhs90, please let me know.
It really feels like we are going backward. How did this country get so diconnected from reality? The fossil fuel fiesta continues as gas prices march toward $4.00 a gallon. Even though this should be moving us away from carbon energy if for no other reason than cost, we are being stripped of the solutions that would tackle both economic instability and climate change. As the impacts come at us faster and faster, as more and more feedbacks kick in we will have run out the clock. The delayers and deniers are winning, by putting us in the postion of now having to fight to keep what changes we have managed to make. Which means we are not moving forward with the next ones.We no longer have the TIME we need to keep this situation from turning into a tragic future. Just in the last two days we have seen 103 degrees in Laredo, wildfires have burned 106,000 acres in Texas, today the temp in North Carolina is expected to be 83 degrees, the jet stream is at 105mph bringing severe storms and flooding rains to the southeast and mid-atlantic. We are losing our window of opportunity to stop the changes that will affect millions.
The only thing shaky is the politics. Looking at what's happening it looks like the tea baggers are grabbing as much as they can before the public catches on.
Let's hope AGW becomes a campaign issue. The msm may then start reporting about it. They would have to work at an eighth grade level so there wouldn't be any tea baggers that would change their minds, but it would reach the majority of Americans.

The World Oil Politics of the Libyan Revolt
Posted on 02/28/2011 by Juan
" The world is skating on the edge of petroleum prices so high that they could push the global economy back into recession."
"More production may be lost, as unrest spreads in the Middle East. Iraq's massive protests this weekend were followed by an attack on the refinery at Baiji, which closed it. The plant has a capacity of between 150,000 and 300,000 barrels a day (you see varying estimates). The spread of the protests to Oman, moreover, raised ominous questions about how much production may be lost. Not only have petroleum workers in the port of Sohar demonstrated, with 2 protesters killed, but they targeted the road used by tanker trucks. (They so far haven't had an impact on pipeline exports, the bulk of them.) Workers in the Gulf unhappy with their lives, unlike Wisconsin school teachers, can fairly easily disrupt the economy if they choose."
me here……
Aside from the ecological disaster that we are watching, can someone please ask on of these people how it makes sense to allow the region of North Africa and the middle east to control the world economy?
There is no way of looking at the lack of action, that isn't deeply stupid. The only beneficiaries are the oil company.

That was my old youtube channel (Simplex1swrhs90) but I decided to delete that account to instead create a new channel called "ClimateHawk". At the time I created the old channel, I wasn't focusing on climate change as much as I am now. So I started thinking that "ClimateHawk" was a much better name for the content and focus of my youtube channel. I am slowly adding more links, favorites and creating additional playlists.
Link to my new channel:

It's late winter; what a time to scare the "Live Free or Die" state with the specter of higher fossil fuel prices.
Great response from the people to the greatest threat we face. Another example of epic human fail. Humans are soon history if apes keep doing the vote.

Yes. Well.
We Are Here.
In my opinion your Number One is exactly what is happening as we speak. A few minutes' reflection on the matter will suggest that the above-delineated state of affairs (or window, as I imagine it might be called) has been anticipated and planned for all along.
I'm no conspiracy theorist. I prefer reality despite the unfortunate fact that it can sometimes be far worse than the most intricately imagined conspiracy scenario.
At any rate, you, I think, are correct.
And as for the breathtakingly ignorant quote from yet another of our so-called representatives ("Neither man nor cow is responsible for global warming."), I can just hear him delivering that succinct little gem in his most bombastic rhetorical style. A quote to remember!! High-fives all around!!
Utterly pathetic. God, if they only knew…
This amounts to treason against reality.
I've come to expect such things from New Hampshire since all the right wing wackos have moved there in the last 40 years because of its non-existent state-wide taxes. However, I'm beginning to think the fear generated by high unemployment, rising energy prices, and a general feeling of unease that something is dangerously wrong, is spreading away from that bastion of New England conservatism. Here in Maine we recently elected a Republican governor and legistlature that would make any red state proud. Governor LePage is trying to outdo Governor Walker of Wisconsin, but doing it with a lot less class. In the legislature, inane comments about climate fraud, the wonders of the free market, and getting the feds off our backs continue to spew forth, and the band played on.
The Tea Party is a Koch Party.
Joke making the rounds in Madison:
A public union employee, a tea party member, and a CEO are sitting at a table with a plate of a dozen cookies in the middle of it. The CEO takes 11 of the cookies, turns to the tea partier and says "Watch out for that union guy. He wants a piece of your cookie!"
The Tea Party is a Koch Party.
My Governor is a Koch Head.
New Hampshire is showing a lot of effects of having warmed about 3 degrees. Here's one example, the official date of "ice out" on Lake Winnipesaukee. The date has been recorded since 1887 because it's the earliest people with homes on the islands can travel by boat. Ice out is arriving earlier and earlier, now averaging 8 days earlier (if memory serves).
Maple syrup crops are apt to be ruined by early warm spells (but this year's is going to be good, yum). And the worry is the trees in fall.
The politics in NH this year are strange. The Concord Monitor blasted the House in the state legislature as 'zany'. I've heard the conservative Manchester Union Leader is chastising them as going to far or as simply chaotic. I've heard Republican politicians complaining about the poor leadership and antics.
Many new people were elected as part of the general anti-ins movement. In fact some long-time Repub legislators were thrown out in the primary, one after attack brochures were mailed out by NOM at the last minute.
I'd like to know how much money AFP (Americans for Koch Progress) put into local campaigns. The house is following their agenda, although the kindergarten mandate was preserved. Yes, the Kochs are against kindergarten, in this day and age.
New Hampshire will lose about $13 million dollars a year if RGGI is knocked out but we'll still have to pay in the .36$ a month because electricity generation is regional.
I attended a NH congressman's town hall this weekend. There were 3 guys who spoke the standard denier cant. I talked to 2 of them afterward; it was clear that all they know is what's on climateaudit and wtuwt. It was hard to penetrate, they were so sure of their facts, asking me smugly if I knew about the MWP, HockeyStick, emails, etc. They were a bit jolted when I asked them if they read web pages of science institutes, NASA, NOAA, MIT, etc. (no)
Rather frightening the penetration of the deniers. this was a small group of people, less than a 100, and 3 of them had swallowed the details from the deniers.
It's late, I know, but I just caught up with a piece by Chrystia Freeland in the January/February issue of The Atlantic magazine. It's titled The Rise of the New Global Elite, and it traces the rise of the world's super-super rich, who they are, how they think, how they operate. The Koch brothers are mentioned, of course, but only briefly.
I recommend the article to anyone who is trying to figure out the Kochs and their ilk.
You'll find it at:
Raising the bar for beyond satire for the GWP or Global Warming Party.
FYI, the Heartland Institute sends their climate propaganda material to every national AND every state Congressman regularly. They're funded by Kochs and Big Oil. Scary.
Many people have mentioned Georgia Pacific, but the Koch brothers have their manipulative fingers in so many pies it's unbelievable. No wonder they're such active participants in the "buying of America"!
One of my personal "beefs" – they own three ranches with 425,000 "managed acres" (aka BLM and USFS leases – OUR public lands!) which makes them "corporate welfare ranchers". If you don't know how many millions of dollars corporate welfare ranching and welfare ranching in general cost American taxpayers ANNUALLY, please look it up. I have nothing against family ranchers, but they should pay their fair share as well. Eliminating welfare ranching would be another way to cut the deficit!
