bugsy166 – Although I agree with most of your statement I disagree on your point about most were employed working in luxury jobs. I was a security supervisor and I can tell you there was no luxury there, but I loved that job.

wstaff,
Its ok to think that YOU ARE a special case, however I did use THE WORD ‘MOST’
I am careful never to use the word ALL……
I am sure that out of 2 million middle class proffesionals there may have been a security guard or 2 that were effected by the forced down sizing – end result!
Dont take it personal……..
2) as far as your 6 months prediction regarding china; I would say that there are a few other things that must take place first, after relentlessly studying the book of revelations.

As long as 10% of the people in the U.S. hold 70% of the wealth then we are doomed. Let’s put that in real numbers 10% equals 3 million 100 thousand people and that leaves 306 million and 900 thousand people to divide up the 30% of wealth in this country. Just another reason;=No wonder there are no jobs coming back ‘fast’= the money is tied up and does not flow through the country. We used to have taxes of 50% to 91% on wealthy BEFORE PRESIDENT BUSH’s NEW 10 YEAR TAX BREAK FOR THE RICH WAS PASSED and that kept money flowing through the economy because if it wasn’t invested they lost it to taxes. Now there is ………………..ABSOLUTELY NO INCENTIVE………… to invest THUS the money is hoarded and the country slowly comes to a halt. FURTHERMORE –

WE MUST REALLY CONSIDER THE FACT THAT CHINA WILL SOON BECOME THE SOLE ECONOMIC POWER IN THE NEXT DECADE MAKING US RELY ON THEM BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE ONLY SOLUTION IS FOR THE USA TO ‘GROW SOME BALLS AND START REALLY –TAXING- CHINA REPEATEDLY- BEFORE IT IS TOO- TOO- TOO- LATE!!!,,,,,,,
,STOP ALLOWING ANYMORE ILLEGAL ENTRY INTO THE USA! …ALL hurting Americans and 99ers must STOP BUYING ANYTHING MADE IN CHINA….USA NEEDS TO TAX THE GOODS ENTERING THE USA FROM EVERY MANUFACTURER THAT LEFT THE USA AND IS NOW
6)
STOP ALLOWING ANYMORE ILLEGAL ENTRY INTO THE USA! …not even on a WORK VISA!
ALL hurting Americans and 99ers must STOP BUYING ANYTHING MADE IN CHINA….USA NEEDS TO TAX THE GOODS ENTERING THE USA FROM EVERY MANUFACTURER THAT LEFT THE USA AND IS NOW DOING BUSINESS IN ANOTHER COUNTRY!….USE THE TAX TO PAY FOR ADDITIONAL UNEMPLOYEMENT TIERS!
IF THESE THINGS ARENT DONE BUY US 99ers THEN, dont COMPLAIN WHEN ALL THAT I HAVE PREDICTED GETS seriously WORSE!
you really bring up some great points here. The last point number 5 is purely a factual statement. China will become the next super power but I will say its more closer to be that in 6 months.
This bill must be fully supported, put out on the floor and passed now. It is time we Americans take care of our own people and this is a start.
We need to stand up to our government and make our country strong once again.
BUY ONLY MADE IN USA!!!

“WE THE PEOPLE of these United States” Created by our forefathers centuries ago.
Who is “We”?
WE are the homeless and less fortunate then the 1% Billionaires
that reside in this country and abroad. WE are the unemployed who have faught
hard and with a clear purpose. WE are the individuals that have never forgotten the meaning of what 1 dollar is worth. WE are also the people still working but know that WE can be put the same position as my fellow man that is not currently working and WE THE PEOPLE of these United States will leave no stone un-turned until every man or woman is re-employed.

I was talking more about a fair tax where the IRS is abolished and we’re only taxed on purchases. That’d solve A LOT of issues and help 99er’s because more jobs would FLOOD the marketplace (hr something or other, i’ll have to post a link later).

To continue further on the flyer for unemployment offices…
From what we have seen so far it looks like most labor departments and state governments will support a plan to lobby Congress for this bill, and even pass out the flyers themselves if they are worded correctly.
Maybe our states are the support we need!!!
Hey McDermotte just mentioned the 99ers! on C Span

Our labor dept. employees even started using this site for updates on the progress of the various tiers at one point…
Do you have a scanner that you can scan something into after you mark-up the changes you want to make manually? If so scan it in and send it to tier5for99ers@gmail.com and I’ll see if I can figure a way to re-create it in word the old fashioned way…I’ll re-type it! No scanner…there’s always snail mail.

I’ll go off topic here for a moment because this is so serious.
Plan on civil war in Egypt. The implications for us are many…
Here is one credible source that is reporting what our media is not.

On second thought…it is not even really off topic.
They are revolting because of high unemployment, high food prices, and a government that doesn’t help the people….
