World Center Hotel Offers Hotel Rooms With A Ground Zero View
Rates start at $199 for rooms at the hotel, a very reasonable price for New York City. Some rooms have been made into corporate apartments for extended stays. There is a private restaurant and club on the 20th floor. Guests have complimentary access to the View of the World Terrace Club which has views of the Hudson River and rising National 9/11 Memorial & Museum and Freedom Tower. This setting offers year-round indoor/outdoor dining terrace, a bar with windows overlooking downtown New York and a lounge area. There are also work stations and meeting rooms which can be reserved. City residents can become a member of the club.
Not everyone is a fan of the new hotel, some question why you would want to be close to a site where so many people lost their lives. But millions of tourists visit the site each year and the hotel's unique position offers better views of the rebuilding.

Hey guys
I've been playing HoN for a few weeks and really enjoy the game and I want to play it competitivly (play online leagues, cups, attend lans) planning on attending i40 (UK) for HoN.
Coming over from COD4, I was just wondering what types of games I should be playing to improve? Matchmaking? SD? AP? I get the idea of last-hitting and denying, just need to practice. Also, what roles/heroes can I take where if Im bad, I dont influence the game too much, in other words, I dont want the team to depend on me
Also, should I watch replays, honcasts and try to pick up things or can I improve by only playing? Is practice mode actually useful for anything?
Im currently around 1550psr, with 110 games played and a k/d of around 0.7 (on my other account)
Any help is really appreciated <3 Sorry for all the questions

Read my rough-draft guide here to help you with your picking skills and give you basic insight into team strategy.
Banning Draft is my favorite. Then Banning Pick. Then Single Draft. Then finally AP.
If you understand picking schemes and lane synergy, Single Draft will be OK...but I would recommend BP/BD.
Absolutely watch comp play and replays of high-level players.
New to Heroes of Newerth? Find help in the Training Grounds.

Watching High Level replays brought me from a 1600 player to a 1750ish player. they are VERY important.
especially in Hero Picks
Plague rider is imo the best new hero pick
Okay, thanks for the help guys
Where can I get high level replays from?
or just stalk any of the high-PSR non-em players on the ladder.

First of I'd like to give a shout out to all the users on AM, this place frekking rocks.(better than BB any day)
For my first post here I'd like to ask some advice about how to better my protein intake during the Great Lent.
Great Lent in Eastern Orthodox Christianity is a 40 day period of time where the faithful followers fast/diet. The diet is called "strict diet". It's called that because one must give up eating all animal products(meet, cheese, milk....etc). Also the strict diet restricts believers the use of oil to 2 days a week(Saturday & Sunday).
This puts me into a dilemma because I won't be able to drink protein shakes or eat meat to make up for the lack of protein.
How can I maximize my protein intake during these 40 days? I usually drink a shake right after working out(Iso-100) and a shake at night(casein). Also I probly consume about 30grams of protein from food a day as well.
I've looked into diets posted online and some on here, but I just don't see anything that Might work for me.
I'm 208 lbs currently and I would like to be 200(not less) by the end of Lent. In the 40 day period of past fasts I've lost over 20 lbs. I'm not trying to lose too much either.
Thank you everyone in advanced!

Phil's Liberal Rant of the Week - Taxes! 40 comments
Apr 16, 2011 11:46 AMOne last try to see if we can get through to Flips:
Corporate taxes are NOT a mechanism that discourages corporations from earning money. They are there to ENCOURAGE corporations to spend money. If a corporation makes profits and does not distribute them, then we have the same problem of pooling capital as we do with the top 0.01% – money is taken out of circulation and becomes unavailable to the economy. A corporation can pay out their income in salaries, they can pay dividends (REITs show no profits at all yet, strangely, people like to invest in them, blowing your entire theory), they can even invest in R&D or capital spending – all things that put money BACK into the economy and give other people a chance to earn some of it.
Taxes are meant to address imbalances in the system – our lack of adequate taxation has thrown our society's imbalances back to – well, I would say the stone age but even in the stone age things were more equally distributed because everyone shared food and shelter and medical care. No, we have thrown our society back to the 1920s, when the term Robber Barron was created – combining the worst aspects of Capitalism and Entitlement to describe those who would charge outrageous rates for vital goods or services, using their monopoly power to extract money from the powerless users of those services.
It's funny how when the Government wants to charge you money for a road or a bridge or a dam or the center for disease control you scream and call it a tax but when a utility company or commodity producer charges people higher prices that take money out of their pockets in order to create ever higher margins for themselves – that you call a fair profit. You are right, everyone is taxed – either by your beloved corporations who funnel that money up to the top 0.01% to buy yachts, private jets and much, much more land than you can ever dream of owning or by the government who, perhaps inefficiently, use that money to run our country as best they can.
If you want to cut government waste – I'm 100% behind it but I'm not going to get behind cutting government itself, just so more people can be left to your corporate wolves – it's not the America I want to live in, that's all and the people who do live in this country, INCLUDING THE CORPORATE CITIZENS, need to start paying their fair share.
Now, what is a fair share? Let's say you are comfortable that a family making $30,000 a year is not poor and can happily live their life without government assistance. They can afford to have babies, raise the children through the normal childhood illnesses (and the occasional abnormal ones) and they can send them to school and buy them clothes the children will be proud to wear and feed them nutritious meals and send them off to college and then the parents will be able to continue working until 65 or 70 if they are not lazy and then retire without any outside support and, of course, pay for any illnesses or medical procedures they may have in 140 years of combined life.
Well, if you don't think they need any assistance then $30,000 is ENOUGH to live on. That means that we can say a person making $60,000 is successful and a person making $90,000 is very successful and $120,000, $150,000,.$180,000 – well, those guys are REALLY successful then aren't they?
If a person making $150,000 a year pays 20% tax – that's $30,000. Should we expect the person earning $30,000 a year to also pay $30,000? No, that would be silly, right because clearly a person making $30,000 can't afford to pay as much tax as a person making $150,000.
Should then, a person who is making $30,000 pay $6,000? Clearly that $6,000 would greatly impact their ability to spend and save since there are certain fixed costs that are shared by both the man who works 40 hours a week in a retail store for $15 an hour and the man who sits at a desk all day in a bank making $75 an hour. They both work hard all day, they both need a chair to sit in when they go home and a room for the chair and they both need to keep the room warm and they both need food to eat and clothes to wear (or do you have a secret desire to be served by naked men when you go shopping?).
So let's take a stretch and assume there is a valid premise that there are some basic costs that must be met by all men to live. Now, does the man who sells you a toaster oven at Best Buy have the right to live in a home? Does he have the right to eat? Does he have the right to get married or have children – feel free to stop me wherever I go to far in humanizing him…
If you are kind enough to allow the serving class those rights, then what? Do we educate their children? Do we make sure they have adequate nutrition or shall we pretend that that is not important in developing a competitive mind and body? Is it OK for them to dress in rags if they can't afford new clothes every time they get bigger? We spend so much money telling people what failures they are if they don't look good and dress well, I'm just concerned it MIGHT send a mixed message to these kids if they happen to watch TV and see all the things they clearly can't afford, knowing no one cares enough to help them – least of all their own Government.
Is it then so grossly unfair if perhaps we say to the man earning $30,000 that we can do without his $6,000, so he can somewhat provide for his family and we say to the man earning $150,000 that he can pay 24% of his wages in taxes to offset the taxes we would rather not put on the poorer families. That would still leave the $150,000 earner with $124,000 to spend on his food, clothing and shelter vs. the $30,000 the poor man has after they both work their 40 hour weeks.
The funny thing about the tax code we now have is that the man earning $30,000 pays 15% (if married) of his salary plus another 6.2% for SS and another 1.45% for Medicare for 22.65% ($6,795) while the man earning $150,000 pays 28% plus 6.2% on the first $102,600 only plus the 1.45% for Medicare, which is about 33.5% ($50,250) but the man or Corporation who earns $150,000,000 pays only 16% taxes or no taxes at all if they have a good accountant and even the man with $150,000 doesn't pay $50,250 unless his accountant is a fool.
The $30,000 family, they can't afford an accountant – certainly not if one of the kids doesn't have perfect vision or perfect teeth – braces alone are more than they pay in taxes….
The more money people on the top have to spend, the more stuff they buy. Some would consider that a good thing (trickle down and all that) but what they are really doing is sucking up resources and bidding up the price that everyone else has to pay.
If I make $1Bn a year and I decide that my home will have a fizzy swimming pool with a Coca-Cola waterfall that uses a million gallons a day and drives up the national price of Coke by a nickel for everyone else – who am I benefiting other than the Coca-Cola company, who know they can charge more for their product because the demand from the rich idiots with a Coca-Cola waterfall is inelastic.
That's what the demand is like from people who drive Hummers and limos, or live in homes that cost more money to heat than other people's entire mortgages or take 1,000 acres of good farmland and build private golf courses or fly place to in jets for one or two that use as much fuel as 100 regular passengers all going to the same place. Actually, the higher use of private jets leads to a lower demand for first-class seats, which is where the airlines used to make most of their money to offset cheaper fairs in coach – now the coach passengers pay far more because the rich can't be bothered to fly with them any more….
As I said – imbalances that either are redressed or simply become greater and greater imbalances until, finally, the poor people come to realize that a rich man's skull can be crushed with a poor man's rock and that the only way to stop them from consuming all of society's resources, including the money (after exhausting all legislative possibilities through the Government that only serves the rich) is to physically stop them. That's how revolutions begin.
There needs to be a concept of enough and a concept of too much. The Conservatives clearly understand enough as they feel a family living on $30,000 a year is not poor and needs no assistance and, in fact, can have $7,000 taken from them in taxes because, really, $30,000 to spend, $23,000 – what's the difference – just the choice between the sport package with leather seats or the basic model, right?
I have no problem with what we have for people AND corporations who are under $250,000 a year in income, which is about where you begin to have some real extra money but at $500,000, we are beginning to get into a realm where paying an extra 10% will not impact our lifestyle nor would 20% more over $1M or 30% more over $5M. But 40% of the money in this country is made by people and corporations who make over $5M a year and 30% of that is 12% of the income and that money – even if you don't use it to reduce the debt – is enough money to let the people and corporations who earn less than $5M pay 20% LESS taxes.
Who needs it more?
Don't forget, a guy who makes $5M a year is making $100,000 a week. If he's upset about not having enough money, he can skip a week's vacation and pick up another $100K or, like the government, he could cut out some wasteful spending from the family budget. A person who makes $15 an hour (60% of the people you see every day outside of an office building) has to work an extra three weeks (90 hours = $1,200) just to pay for the average cost of books in college for one of his children for one year (assuming they had perfect teeth and perfect vision and never got sick or had an accident).

So how many months of earnings should we take from someone? 6,7,8? Someone earning 30k has had an opportunity to better themselves at many points in their lives. If you choose for whatever reason to give up on improving yourself then you pay the consequences. No everyone can't go to college, but adversity in life is a motivating factor to improve ourselves. We should provide basic needs and security as a society but always encourage if not force people to better themselves, it is the driving force to evolution.
The man selling you the toaster oven at Best Buy does have the right to improve his position. There are several options, here's a few that come to mind right away:
A. Look for a different job.
B. Further his education, if necessary, to qualify for a better job.
If he has to, he can get a (government-backed) student loan.
C. He could also opt for a part-time job for additional income.
D. Excel at his current position and get promoted.
Can it be done? Sure, you constantly read stories of people achieving success through diligence, hard work and (sometimes extreme) self-sacrifice.
Is it easy? No, (it really never has been) but it's doable. This guy is selling toaster ovens because that's his comfort level, it's what he settled for. Everyone is where they are because of the decisions they made along the way.
Yes, this remains the land of opportunity but you have to do your part. As Edison said - success is still 99% persperation. -
You're a bigger idiot than the commenter above you (What? what?).
And that's saying something.
I dare you. I freakin' DARE you to post something resembling a basic bio here. As of Jan 23-2012, you have no bio, no nothing.
Don't you understand that selling toaster ovens at Worst Buy might BE what he has accomplished to that given random point in life?
How old is he? 20? 60?
What kind of family did he come from? Did his parents pay for him to go to college? If you think student loans can pay for college you're nuts (and ignorant). Did he have good health care growing up?
How do YOU know that he has "settled" for that, that he is "in hos comfort zone". dumbass.
His job is NOT his "comfort zone", necessarily. It is NOT what he has "settled for", necessarily. For all you know, he MIGHT BE IN COLLEGE taking 4 courses a quarter and working 25 hours a week and staying up until 3am every night studying.
He might have been hit by a car a year ago, spent 7 months in the hospital and physical therapy recovering and letting his bones grow back together, and it might take every fiber of his being just to GET to work every day.
The thing I find most disgusting about people like you is that, as they said about "Dubya", you're born on third base and think you hit a single, so to speak.
It's OK for you to sit in your plush surroundings and feel self congratulatory and smug about how great you are. But don't be so grotesque as to come here and criticize people who work for a living. One of those waiters might just drop a little strychnine in your espresso one of these days.
You might want to read the comment that I wrote under Phil's article on Jan 17-2012.
You just don't get it. There are not enough $80,000 jobs for everyone to have one. You might have one, you might have a $200,000 dollar job.
And that is totally, I mean TOTALLY the result of ONLY your own hard work and "choices" at "various points" through your life until now, right?
NO help from anyone of any kind, right? You graduated from high school, left your parents house, did not take anything with you, and that is what you "started with", right? Paid for all your own college and went straight to Goldman Sachs, and been there until you're now 60 years old, right? And everybody else should be able to do that too, since you did, so they are all lazy, right? right?
That scenario is MY history.
You wanna talk about hard work? Next time you're in my town stop by. We'll go out for a few days and we'll see who can work who under a table.
-aspiring_beginner -
Publishing? I publish every day at philstockworld.com but SA and I have parted ways.
As to the job issue, let me clarify this part. My attitude is that there are jobs that need to be done in society. Your car needs to be washed, someone has to pick lettuce in a field for you, someone has to sew buttons on your shirt, someone has to pick up your trash and teach your children and someone has to go to Afghanistan and try to stop terrorists from building new camps where they train people to kill you. What I am saying is that yes – a person who puts in a full day of hard work in ANY job deserves some basic human decency from society. I'm sorry if I was not clear in my example of a guy working at Best Buy but it's one of the 120M out of 140M jobs in this country that pays around 1 to 2x the minimum wage.
While it is true that for every plantation there can only be one Lord and one overseer and many, many slaves – even the slave owners provided their workers with food, clothing, shelter and medical care for them and their families – even the Egyptians allowed those who built the pyramids a day of rest and the right to have families and meet their basic human needs.
Not in America though – in America you can have a job that doesn't pay you enough money to live. Doesn't pay you enough to retire or get married or have children and then there are people who will blame the worker for not being able to provide for themselves or their families – EVEN if they work as hard as any other person does, just for lower wages.
That's what I am talking about when I give an example of a man in Best Buy making $15 and hour. Does a woman who wakes up at 4am to start picking your tomatoes until dusk deserve to come home from her 12-hour day of work with less money than your secretary makes in two hours? Should she make less money in a month than you pay your company salesman in a day to play golf with clients? Should she make less money in a year than your accountant bills you for a week of helping your company avoid paying taxes?
You can pay people LESS and you can try to justify all sorts of elaborate formulas for determining what is fair on some relative basis but I am simply saying that ANYONE who works hard at a job deserves to earn enough money to support a family and it is the RESPONSIBILITY of society to make sure there is a balance there between rich and poor.
If there were not people buying $1M homes and eating $50 steaks and driving 10 mpg trucks to the grocery store – then it would not cost the man who works at Wal-Mart so much to live but it's the very imbalances caused by the conspicuous consumption of the top 1% that drives up the costs of basic necessities for the bottom 99% and that is where the laissez-faire system falls apart – at the point at which your slave class can no longer support themselves.
We NEED those services and, unlike some Ayn Rand fantasy, they don't need us – we may come up with the cool electronics or the great entertainment etc. but, as is proven by 5Bn people on this planet every single day – people can be born, go to school, get jobs, have families and be taken care of in their old age – all for less than $2,500 a year of per capita GDP.
WE AT THE TOP have created a society that makes it impossible IN OUR LITTLE PART OF THE WORLD for our workers to live without having a great deal more money than that. That makes it our responsibility to make sure we do pay them enough to live their lives with dignity and, if we can do that and still have some profits left over – then good for us. But, if the only way we can make our profits is to take away the basic human needs of others – then what kind of society is that? -
Heavy truths with complex implications.
TBTF's are now 30% bigger than pre-Lehman with executives bilking more $ than before. Corporations basically take away 'the basic human needs' when they off-shore production...to pump earnings for their stock valuations. State & Local gov'ts have gotten out of whack with expenditures v income - so the 'basic human need suffers' when austerity measures reduce public payrolls....at the middle-poor class level more than the upper bureaucrat level....
Gov't Leadership demonstrates the funding drain every election. Tough to see that changing anytime soon.
Corporate leaders demonstrate their greed daily with general admiration from MSM.
People need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps - but is the glass ceiling too think and they lose hope?
BTW - when I looked at your subscription rates I saw some heavy $ to read your daily posts. I'd pay $10-$15 month to have the opp to read in real-time. The 48 hour wait is reasonable - which I do.
thanks -
What I find sad about the U.S. is that it seemingly has regressed back to the Gilded Age, with hints of Social Darwinism (see 444849 above), and Horatio Alger(see Swingman). The U.S. had better rediscover the seemingly forgotten concepts of Social Contract and Living Wage, before those ignorant of their history condemn their country to relive a renewed anarchist movement.
Rich in Quebec, your Social Darwinist point is right on the money...just look above at the first comment on this article by "what?what?"...he/she says "We should provide basic needs and security as a society but always encourage if not force people to better themselves, it is the driving force to evolution."
Why is "'evolution" perceived to be necessarily good or right?
It doesn't really have anything to do with taxes. Evolution's "survival of the fittest" is not a moral imperative intended for sociology or economics or law, it is an observation about the natural world for explaining phenomena in biology (and to some extent sociology and psychology).
And who would want to live in a world like that? Is that the ideal we should be striving to? That the strongest should "survive" and everyone else can go to hell? (ignoring the fact that the strongest typically means the cruelest, the most-power hungry, the most evil people will seize and secure power and resources).
People should keep scientific concepts that they don't understand out of politics and economics....sorry one of my pet peeves. -
George Orwell touched on this problem talking about science as a "practical" education:
But does all this mean that the general public should not be more scientifically educated? On the contrary! All it means is that scientific education for the masses will do little good, and probably a lot of harm, if it simply boils down to more physics, more chemistry, more biology, etc., to the detriment of literature and history. Its probable effect on the average human being would be to narrow the range of his thoughts and make him more than ever contemptuous of such knowledge as he did not possess: and his political reactions would probably be somewhat less intelligent than those of an illiterate peasant who retained a few historical memories and a fairly sound aesthetic sense.
Clearly, scientific education ought to mean the implanting of a rational, sceptical, experimental habit of mind. It ought to mean acquiring a method — a method that can be used on any problem that one meets — and not simply piling up a lot of facts. Put it in those words, and the apologist of scientific education will usually agree. Press him further, ask him to particularize, and somehow it always turns out that scientific education means more attention to the sciences, in other words — more facts.
The idea that science means a way of looking at the world, and not simply a body of knowledge, is in practice strongly resisted. I think sheer professional jealousy is part of the reason for this. For if science is simply a method or an attitude, so that anyone whose thought-processes are sufficiently rational can in some sense be described as a scientist — what then becomes of the enormous prestige now enjoyed by the chemist, the physicist, etc. and his claim to be somehow wiser than the rest of us?
In the lyrics of an old Staples Singers song - 'Respect Yourself':
"If you're walkin 'round
think'n that the world
owes you something
'cause you're here
You goin' out
the world backwards
Like you did
when you first come here
I know my great-grandparents on my father's side came into this country just about penniless speaking only Russian. My great grandfather started his own business, he pushed a cart around the streets of Cincinnati buying and selling used merchandise. My great-great grandparents on my mothers side emigrated from Scotland and settled in Kentucky, becoming farmers (guaranteed living wage? Thats a laugh).
They all had one thing in common, a desire to better themselves and not to settle for what they started with. One of the pushcart vendor's sons became a doctor, the other successful insurance salesman. The doctor married my grandmother, who had left Kentucky, moved to Ohio and started her own beauty salon. (Interesting sidebar here, during the Depression most patients didn't have the money to pay their doctor bills but the women always had $1.25 to come in every week for a 'shampoo and set'. It was my grandmother's business that enabled them to get through). This spirit of entrepreneurship continued through generations. My mother had her own trucking company(!) and worked until she was 72. I've had my own businesses since 1971. For over 100 years this family has survived and prospered without a guaranteed living wage.
What's the point? Maybe you're right. The U.S. is not so much a
Land of Opportunity any more. Instead it's evolving into a "Land of Entitlement" where people think they're owed something just because they're here - and we will be worse for it. -
Clearly little evidence of systems thinking or analysis around here (other than Phil). I came to the US the legal way armed with a solid EU education from a military academy. Landed in the great state of Louisiana, worked at Wendy's, grocery stores, minimum wage, the works. No one had heard about my home country, what "summa cum laude" was, and they all persisted on calling me "honey". Well I decided to make a move to MA, was accepted at Harvard Business School after much persistence, graduated after even more, worked on Wall Street, left in disgust, moved to WA in the search for more ethical, earnest folks and after 25 years, AND becoming a US citizen, making lots of $$, I am done. Corporate america owns the united states and anyone arguing to the contrary is either lost in a "movie in their head" or simply bad at math.
It could have been something, but it isn't. I am reneging my US citizenship, and not happily so. But enough is enough, this is corporate fascism script-written by Hollywood and the corporate press. Goodbye. -
harvardbiz=sourgrapes/ bitter/ anothertaker. Come to the US, make your dough and then move on and whine about all the things you don't like- why did you not stay in your own country if this one sucks so bad? Good riddance. I for one could give a s**t about your leaving!
billknowsail - You care enough to comment. I find it strange that in a country where the rich often attribute their wealth to their efforts alone, and attempt to justify keeping all of it from the reach of a government that might spread it to the "unworthy", that an appreciation of a self-made man is negated by his feeling of revulsion from the ethos of greed that surrounds him.
Harvardbiz - Pragmatism should motivate you to keep your U.S. citizenship and passport. Keep your options open, and good luck, wherever you go. -
"...does the man who sells you a toaster oven at Best Buy have the right to live in a home? Does he have the right to eat? Does he have the right to get married or have children – feel free to stop me wherever I go to far in humanizing him…"
He has the right to work for those things! He has no intrinsic right to them without working for them!! I, and you, have NO obligation to give him those things, any more than others have the obligation to give them to us. Nor does he have the right to demand that we give them! We all must work for them! We have the freedom to pursue them, and the freedom to fail if we work insufficiently hard for them. -
He IS working for them - he's putting in a solid 40+ hours a week but, even at 2x minimum wage that's simply not enough ($600/wk) to raise a family and retire in comfort - it's simply not possible.
A guy working for minimum wage ($7.50/hr - $300/wk) can work his ass off for "those things" and you sure aren't going to give them to him are you? So, should no one do those jobs at all? I would like nothing better than for everyone earning less than the "average income" of $48,000 a year go on strike because only then would you understand how much you need those people to work for you.
Those jobs must be done, we need good people to work hard in positions that fill roles in society - do we not have an obligation to treat them with the same respect as someone filling another job that arbitrarily pays a higher salary?
Is it right for David Novak (YUM CEO) to make $30M a year when his average employee makes $20,000? Is he really worth 1,500 people? Is it possible that one day of David Novak's time has the value of 5 years worth of one of his employees? The whole company only has 53,000 employees and makes $1.2Bn in profits, even after paying Novac's salary, which is enough to give each employee a $22,641 bonus!
There is no equal opportunity for people to get jobs. Once a person is too poor for college - it's pretty much over for them and only 6% of students from low-income households earn a bachelor's degree vs 51.3% from high-income households. If you think that's a fair system then you are delusional.

Phil, I paid my own way through undergrad and grad school. At times, I put tuition on my credit card. I recall talking about charging my tuition with a coworker(working in a hospital) and having one of the nearby MDs giving me a look of derision for having to do so. Guess what? I survived. I hold an MBA today. I did it on my own and so should most others. I make my own way through life and chose my path- for better or worse, I will deal with my self generated results. Rugged individualism built this country, not the nanny state.
As for the government being the best way to run things, what a joke. You forget that the government serves at OUR pleasure- not the other way around. With no profit motive, there is no incentive for the gov't to do anything decently. Exhibit A is the setup of our federal reserve. Why do we even have it? Why not have money printed and managed by the treasury? Cut out the self dealers that only help their buds...
I lived in NYC/LI in the 60's/70's. I saw the "wonders" that government could produce. That's why I live in the Cincinnati area today. I hate to say it, but I see the same ossification now occurring here- unfunded grandiose mass transit schemes, pushes to move section 8 housing out of the inner city to suburban neighborhoods, tax breaks for favored groups, etc. Oh yeah, that's what got me started- your statement that the purpose of taxes is to set social agendas. WRONG! Taxes should ONLY be used to raise revenue. Anything beyond is more liberal claptrap. Oh yeah- I think I am owed a free/ severely discounted (say $2/month) subscription to your website. Why not? I know you make more money than I... -
billknowsall, you said:
"Taxes should ONLY be used to raise revenue".
A government that can print its own money does not need taxes in order to have money...think about that for a second, why would an entity that can print its own money need taxes? They have an unlimited source of "revenue" at the press of a button. So why tax?
The answer, correctly pointed out by Phil above, is that taxes serve to regulate the economy (the amount of money in circulation versus the amount of goods being chased). Government spending is the gas pedal, taxation is the brakes, and going the speed limit safely involves keeping inflation in check by balancing these two forces.
Governemnt does not tax because they need our money...they DON'T. Any thinking to the contrary is delusional. -
Berettaskeeter - Debtor's prisons were eliminated, and eventually free public education made universal, and compulsory for the recipient, came to be , for the benefit of those not in need of these changes. A compliant and useful population necessitated such changes. He who seeks philosophical underpinnings for his greed or righteousness should look back to the lessons of his forebears. Pragmatism is supposed to be an American virtue. Apparently, no more!
Before I start the longer portion of my comment, 3 things:
1) I'm an Independent that leans toward the right
2) Socioeconomically, I belong in the sub 150K annual income level
3) I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH IDEA AND THESIS presented above
My parents both worked and then built a successful business 20 years ago based on hard work and sacrifice. To say that this country is not the land of opportunity goes a bit too far as this country still provides a better environment to succeed than a lot of other countries. However, one can make the case that the ladder one can use to climb from one socioeconomic subclass to the next has wider spaces between the steps and the slope by which that ladder is positioned has gotten a lot closer to a 90 degree angle vs. a more manageable 45.
The gradual disappearance of the "middle class" is what will move this country to the level below that 1st world status. I have lived most of my life in a country (Philippines) where there is no real middle class and you're either in the "haves" or "have nots". 15 years ago, I didn't think that there was a good probability that this is where the country would be 15 years later.
It's not surprising anymore though to see why the economic (not stock market) bounce after each of the past 5 recessions/downturns has been less/lower than the previous one. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I would think that the preceding recessions have done a lot more damage to the middle class. Thus, when the next recession occurs, the true engine of the economy, what is left of the middle class from the previous downturn cannot help bail the country out.
When you see GE and a lot of companies pay an effective tax rate of 0% yet their executives making millions, you scratch your head and say WTF?!?
I must say, a family of 4 making 250K in NYC metro area (where I live) isn't the same as making 250K in San Antonio, TX. I'll give those who complain about 250K being rich vs. poor that. So that has to be addressed in any tax code revamp. BUT like you 250K and above SHOULDN'T be classified in the same level. -
All good points.
My solution wouldn't immediately address income disparity.
It would assist with employment for the manufacturing sector - creating higher demand for mfg labor - likely raising their bargaining power.
Apply all of the regulations, environmental laws, employee benefits, human rights, etc...apply to any imported goods. Most developed markets have equivalent reg's and therefore costs of production.
All else being equal - lower labor costs alone wouldn't tear into our manufacturing base as we've witnessed for the last 3 decades.
Why do importers get a free pass on using lower production operating standards - by-passing domestic production and stocking their shelves with the cheapest production? Wal-mart doesn;t give a damn about what a Virginia producer can offer if there's like production cheaper from anywhere else...except that 'like production' is surface only. All this 'green initiative' image being thrown about gets lost when the low cost EM producer comes to the table to deliver - regardless of their lack of equivalent standards and safeguards. -
Phil: Totally agree with you about taxing rich folks. They have had it good for a long time. They need to pay more taxes. However, I cannot agree that corporate taxes are a tax on the rich. Corporate taxes are simply a tax on low to moderate consumers. It is an expense that is added to the price of goods and services like any other expense.
Look at the pricing differences between credit unions and commercial banks. One pays taxes and one doesn't. The small company I work for has a 34% marginal corporate tax rate. A lot of big companies pay no U.S. corporate taxes.
Reduce corporate taxes to cut business expense and tax the hell out of the top one half percent. The world will be a better place. -
Phil, can you give us an example of placing your money where your mouth is? How much do you contribute to society, I mean, besides your words of wisdom on how we should operate as a country, how much do you give to education, charity, food banks, red cross, some group out there some where that makes your social justice song worth while ( I do believe in the red cross, just pointing out at least one group that makes a difference). Do you fund orphans thru school? Do you go out of your way to find the poor working class family and provide them dinners (with wine). Do you even understand how seriously you contradict yourself on the one hand saying how "easy it is to make money shorting the marker" then on the other say how unfair it is for poor slobs not to be paid a wage? You are the prime example of my motto," You dont get rich copying poor people, you get rich by copying what rich people do." I am middle class, I was significantly poor class at one time, and one day I hope to be a rich class.... one ladder rung at a time. Last thought, I did not ask for nor recieve permission to have children, but when I did have kids, I accepted that responsibility and decision that my spouse and I made.... not once did I ever whine to any one that life was too hard, and how unfair it was... working for the man at low wages trying to make a living with a family.... as, it was no one elses responsibilities to do so.....
Where should we start with fairer taxes?
How about the Corporate Royalty and their stock options. They get capital gains treatment, but there is none of their capital involved, (just the no-cost-to -them shares they took from their company's treasury).
Since they put up no capital, only time on the job, how can these profits POSSIBLY be treated as capital gains? The top 2% of the "rich" are a rotating pool of executives who cash in large amounts of stock options. I am not for ""soak the rich"", just for stock option bonus babies to pay ordinary income tax rates on this ordinary but excessive income. (Those $$ used in the stock buybacks to soak up the excess shares should have been my dividends!). -
OK the post started on Taxes so here goes: we need to return to the tax rates we had under those two radical Leftie presidents: Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan. Corporations paid taxes, 1%ers like Mitt paid taxes, and our overall standard of living, investment in the future, and financial condition was immeasurably better.
Point number two: the guy who sells you the toaster at BestBuy. I live in Australia, where the very same guy makes a minimum wage of $16.50 per hour. He gets reasonable/free health care; low-cost university, and if all else fails he gets a small retirement, whether he worked or not. The toaster itself costs about twice what it costs in the US. But I gladly pay it so I can live in a safe, just society, a society where my kids can find summer jobs, where banks pay 6% interest on CDs so retirees are OK, where I know that a bad illness will not force me into bankruptcy.
Wake up America, you've been sold a bill of goods. Endless war, endless banker bailouts, endless rule by the 1% is a disaster for your nation. -
Rokjok - Your post brings to mind a possibly apocryphal story. Apparently, during a long spell of deep fog in the English Channel, a turn of the 20th century English newspaper had as a headline -"Europe Isolated". The U.S. is today's economic and social outlier, and most Americans don't know it. As many Americans decry "Obamacare" and wish to return to the previous system, no better road to political oblivion could be found in other former English colonies than such a call.
Phil: The article is right on target.
Somehow our citizens need to understand these facts.
It was wise of you to present it without any reference to political parties--since they are just different actors promoting optional flavors of the same outcome.
Thanks for the hard thought and clear exposition. -
I am not here as an apologist for Phil, but I can say that I DO know a little about him. It's not my place to comment on what he does or does not do in terms of social improvement, but I have very good reason to believe he does a lot. It's just not visible.
"Philanthropy" does not always mean trying to get your name on a building. Not that Phil is on that scale. Not what I mean. I just know he has helped some people. But he doesn't take out billboards about it.
His Writings are not just a writing exercise, or a way to get his frustrations out. There's a little more to it.
You might also want to look into a dude 'name of Paul Tudor Jones. Interesting story there. -
sorry, one more thing i just thought of......
A. I do hope you continue along your long term trek up the scales. I, like many, have spent a large part of my life in poverty. But I also spent about 15 years (mostly after the poverty part) earning a reasonable wage (and then salary), in a series of better and "semi-professional jobs. I got into those jobs ONLY because I did all the things over the previous 20 years that slowly led to them, in other words, I "taught" myself enough and then "bootstrapped it" to be able to work my way up in the world. Like you, every single step "up" I've taken has been as a result of my own work and initiative. Don't know what the future holds for me......still swingin' at the pitches......
B. Here's my question, more rhetorical than actual.........let's say, that through some incredibly good fortune (and yes, some very hard work on your part) you came across, say, $40 million over the next 5 years. Maybe you invent a better lightbulb or something (to borrow from Saving Private Ryan).
I don't know how large your immediate and extended family is, so just mentally adjust the 40 mil to whatever number would mean that you could not POSSIBLY spend all the money in your lifetime and the lifetime of every single family member, friend, or other people you care about. I mean, choose whatever number you want, so that it is "obscenely" large........just to make the point.
Question is, what would you do with the leftovers? I mean, forget 40 mil, let's say you made 500 mil. Lets say you set up yourself and every one of the people mentioned above to a level of truly unimaginable wealth and luxury forever. Let's say that took 100 mil, and we'll assume that includes enough investable cash that you could live off the interest at that same luxury level forever, without the principle going down. So let's say you've got 400 mil leftover.
What would you do with it? I mean that very seriously. It is a very good question to ponder.
If you did ANY kind of "philantrhropy" that was social in nature (not funding another dufus art museum), would you say that the people you help would be "lazy" or "undeservedly inferior"?
Are there any people outside your family and friends that you would feel comfortable "giving a hand to", to assist them in climbing out of poverty?
Keep in mind, that what what seems like a rounding error to a lot of rich can seem like a massive fortune to somebody who is homeless or starving or having suffered "wife battering" or severe abuse of any kind. In other words, pick a really poor person who is of good moral fiber, but comes from a background that could charitably be described as "extremely difficult". Maybe that person is 35 years old and has worked heavy labor for 15 years. Maybe having somebody help him get a decent reliable car, a place to live that has actual windows instead of cardboard covering half the windows, and enough kitchen stuff to be able to cook every day, would be an unimaginable stroke of good luck for him. Could you help a person like that under the circumstances I described, and feel OK about it?
I guess it's kind of an existenstal-philsophical question, but I think it is at the root of a huge amount of what the Human Condition is all about. I mean, the whole scenario that I describe, isn't that a lot of what "Christianity" is suppposed to be about? I'm not a religious person, so I'm not asking from that perspective.
This is, now that I think about it, a really, really important question. Some people who are bazillionaires won't give a penny to anybody unless it DID mean getting their name on a building. Some have an attitude that is almost "meaness". What I mean by that is an attitude of "I made mine the hard way, so everybody else can go screw themselves, I'm not helping anybody else out, they can suffer like I did". I'm talking here about somebody with a Billion dollars. There ARE businessmen in my state who have that much net worth. One guy has a 40 foot high bronze statue of liberty in his front yard (a mansion on the lake).
I mean, I don't have the right to tell him what to do with his money, but heh........
I mean, maybe the yound black kid from the ghetto that he helps out, helps him get an education, helps him get out of a pre-determined life of selling drugs, might be the same kid who he helps avoid being the one who robs him and shoots him on the street someday, because he has lived a life of frustration and racism.
just sayin, dude....

Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
Press Releases
U.S. Department of Labor |
U.S. Labor Department recovers more than $280,000 in back wagesfor 246 employees of Schlumberger Technology Corp. in Colorado and Wyoming Investigation of Houston-based company also led to more than $40,500 in civil penalties
DENVER, Col. -- Schlumberger Technology Corp., with locations in Rock Springs, Wyo., and Grand Junction, Colo., has paid more than $320,000 in back wages and civil money penalties following a U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division investigation that disclosed violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act's (FLSA) overtime provisions.
Wage and Hour Division investigators found that the oil and gas industry employer violated the FLSA by not paying employees time and one-half their regular rates for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek, resulting in $280,605 in back wages owed to 246 employees.
Houston, Texas-based Schlumberger further paid $40,590 in civil money penalties as a result of the violations.
"The welfare of our workforce depends on ensuring workers receive the wages they're due, and the Labor Department is committed to ensuring just that," said Cynthia Watson, the Wage and Hour Division's regional administrator in Dallas, Texas.
Specifically, an investigation at Schlumberger's branch location in Grand Junction disclosed that bonuses were not included in the regular rate for purposes of computing overtime; a similar issue was disclosed at the company's Rock Springs location. Schlumberger cooperated fully with the Labor Department to help ensure corporate-wide compliance with the FLSA.
The Wage and Hour Division's Denver District Office conducted the investigation.
The FLSA requires covered, nonexempt employees to be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $6.55 per hour for all hours worked, and time and one-half their regular rates of pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a week. The FLSA provides that the regular rate includes an employee's hourly rate plus the value of some other types of compensation such as bonuses. The minimum wage will increase to $7.25 per hour as of July 24, 2009. Under the law, employers must also maintain accurate time and payroll records.
For more information about the FLSA, call the Department of Labor's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243). The Denver District Office may be reached at 720-264-3250. Information is also available on the Internet at http://www.wagehour.dol.gov.
U.S. Department of Labor releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office upon request. Please specify which news release when placing your request at (202) 693-7828 or TTY (202) 693-7755. The Labor Department is committed to providing America's employers and employees with easy access to understandable information on how to comply with its laws and regulations.

Your children... you held them and helped them through elementary school. Practiced your share of "tough love" through middle and high school, and now they're stepping off to college. And today, more than ever before, many of you aren't quite ready to step back yet. And it's not just you. Though they are certainly ready for some independence, many students still want (and expect) their parents to play a role in their college experience.
Recognizing this growing change in student and family culture, we understand that it is important to view parents as partners. This is why we are pleased to announce the establishment of the UVU Parent Association . If you are a parent or guardian of a UVU student, you are an automatic member (don't worry, membership is FREE). Beyond basic membership, parents can also get involved by serving on the Association Board or volunteering to assist at Parent Association events.
It is our belief that the UVU Parent Association, coupled with the UVU Parent Relations Council, will greatly improve the communication between the University and parents and families.
We are currently seeking to fill all leadership positions on the Association Board. If you are interested in more information about a leadership position within UVU Parent Association, please contact:
Nicki Gilbert, Program Manager
UVU Alumni Relations
801-863-6469 / firstname.lastname@example.com
- To facilitate communication between and among parents, families, students and the University.
- To advocate for the enhancement of the student experience at Utah Valley University.
- To participate with the University in selected enrollment, retention and fundraising events and activities.

GR -- energy Anthony good to see you up fourteen cents a gallon almost in the last week three dollars and 63 cents a gallon and oil.
Is jump in big time today why.
It gasoline is actually leading the way today and he had at refinery problem in California with -- -- our refinery which supplies 8% of the gasoline for California.
And 15% of the gasoline on the West Coast so there's a pretty big guys significant refinery that's having a problem.
And -- when you add up what's happened over the last month you -- refinery problems in the East Coast with us -- refinery in Pennsylvania and Enbridge pipeline in the west.
You -- refineries that shut down earlier in the year.
The demand has increased a little bit not afraid of people just paid four weeks ago the cheapest -- gonna pay for gasoline this year -- IC.

Enjoy yourself fishing for Snook, Redfish, Trout, and Tarpon on the pristine inshore waters of Sanibel Island.
As your Sanibel fishing guide I have the best job in the world ! Taking your family to the pristine waters that surround Sanibel Island is my full time occupation and passion.
I grew up on the west coast of Florida fishing off the Big Indian Rocks Fishing Pier . After hooking into my first Snook I was addicted. I learned from a legendary Tarpon fishing guide, Jack Kelly, who was always there to help a kid or answer a question. 15 years ago after experiencing the incredible Tarpon fishing here I moved from the lower FL Keys to Sanibel Island. The abundance of game fish here is impressive, with miles of mangroves, rich grass flats, and white sand beaches.
Anglers of all skill levels will enjoy fishing the clear grass flats or the mangrove lined shore that surrounds Sanibel Island. There is always an exciting species available year around. In fact, in the Spring and Fall there are almost too many choices to pursue.
Keep in mind that I am often booked up several weeks in advance so don't wait, call me now and we will plan a trip to catch the excitement.
I have everything you need to enjoy a fun filled adventure, licensed, insured, I carry the finest tackle, all included in your trip.
As a full time professional fishing guide I am focused on providing a safe, comfortable, and exciting trip.
Call me today for a great day of Sanibel fishing !
Look forward to fishing with you!

Fernandes Sustainer
The patented Fernandes Sustainer system on the Revolver Pro 81 generates a magnetic field causing the strings to vibrate endlessly, giving you creative ways to control sustain and feedback. Used by Steve Vai, The Edge, Slash, Kerry King, Neil Schon, Robert Fripp, and Paul Gilbert, the Sustainer allows you to produce silky smooth Hendrix-like textures and tonal colorings at any volume level without extra outboard gear. The Sustainer lets you add swells or a gradual decay to single notes or chords while performing outrageous hammer-on slides, whammy-bar dive bombing, or two-hand tapping.
