Small House Book

Small House Book: "Do you realize that most people will not have any real money to retire on? It's true. Look at these sobering retirement statistics:
Take any 100 people at the start of their working careers and follow them for 40 years until they reach retirement age, and here's what you'll find, according to the Social Security Administration: only 1 will be wealthy; 4 will be financially secure; 5 will continue working, not because they want to but because they have to; 36 will be dead; and 54 will be dead broke - dependent on their meager Social Security checks, relatives, friends, even charity for a minimum standard of living. That's only 5% who retire with the American Dream."

Backlash Feared As Some In GOP Push Social Issues

In today's semi-United States, to say one is 'highly educated' needs some clarification; and maybe the question should really be 'where' were they educated, 'how' were they educated, and who wrote their textbooks. The ancient Roman aristocrats were highly educated, but they never even heard of pizza and had no idea how to make an old Fiat idle correctly (- well, modern Romans can't either)... so I'm just sayin'... education ain't all it's cracked up to be.

Helena Bonham Carter

Helena Bonham Carter on learning to be a parent:

"'Every child knows what they want; it’s your job to tell them what they need.'...

...'You learn these skills and there are three main ones: Descriptive praise, preparing for success and reflective listening. Descriptive praise really works. It’s not evaluative — ‘you’re doing great, well done’ – instead it’s praising, with real precision, the absence of negative behavior. I’ve got a real problem with whining, for instance, so when Billy isn’t whining I say, ‘You’re not whining, that’s really helpful.’ You give them positive attention and then they start to crave it. The key to this is you get out of the parenting habit of rewarding bad behavior with attention. When they are naughty, you actually turn away and they realize very quickly that to get your time and engagement they need to do something different. It absolutely works. Billy is lapping it up. And as a parent, you become happier because you’re observing all these good things about your child, if you’re being specific about what they’ve done — ‘You folded that so well and that’s really helpful.'"

The Perfect Storm That Could Elect Sarah Palin

Good article. I'm with you on this - Palin is a dangerous, flash-mob-ready polarizer. Some notion could sweep through the culture - let's say on a Monday - and Palin could get swooshed into office by Friday. Everything is sliding into place for this to happen - not all by her doing, but because American citizens are on an electronic-cocaine, cable-news junky binge that we cannot stop. Palin instinctively knows this, and at this moment she can see the goalpost from her window, as a rogue citizen power is amassing around her - enabling her to turn this nation on a dime, flip the crazy switch and ruin America.

It is much easier for Netflix to change, because they don’t have to undergo a kind of religious conversion like media companies will have to.”"

Mika Brzezinski Wants to Drop the security Part of Social Security

Social Security privatization: "CNBC anchor Michelle Caruso-Cabrera visited the set of Morning Joe to push her new book You Know I'm Right and apparently we've got another Ayn Rand fan working for CNBC. After saying that the auto companies should have been allowed to fail, presumably to get rid of those pesky over paid union workers, Mike Barnicle asks her if she thinks we're going to have to raise taxes to pay our deficit.

Cabrera of course doesn't think we should raise taxes and says that instead we should cut spending. Leslie Stahl asks her where. She replies:

'Easy stuff; you get rid of the Department of Labor, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Education. You can get rid of all of those. They're not necessary. You don't need that stuff done at the federal level.

But the real issue, let's talk about it – Social Security and Medicare, right? We have over promised so much that someday if we don't do something, we're going to be Greece. We're on the path to that. So what you do right now is you tell young people instead of saving that Social Security and giving it to the government, you're going to have a personal account, and that's going to be your retirement. And in the mean time, as you get closer to retirement, you're going to have to live on that money instead, because...'

Leslie Stahl asks her what happens when the markets crash again and there's no safety net. Her answer:

'Well, this is the choice, okay? So you're saying the choice is I can have the government pay me in the future guaranteed, or I can have this uncertainty of the market. I see it differently. I see the uncertainty of the markets or the uncertainty of some future Congress, some future bunch of people who are... can at any day decide you've got to retire later. You've got to put up more money.'

Or in other words, don't dare expect the rich to pay back the Social Security trust fund and you're on your own for your retirement. Her buddies on Wall Street crash the economy again... too bad, so sad. Cabrera would fit right in at the Tea Party rallies."

Ok, let me get this straight: to avoid taxes, just don't spend your money. ?? The middle-class and below have little or no money left at the end of the month because they must spend it all to support their lives. The wealthy do not spend all their money by the end of the month - usually not by a long-shot. As a result, the wealthy would only pay tax on a portion of their income, while the rest of us would pay tax on nearly ALL our income. If the GOP launches that missile, they will change America as nothing ever has before, and money will be the only ticket to the only show in town - and the middle-class will be the chumps on the sideline.
