I thought this chart was pretty great
We often hear these numbers thrown around on the news individually and they can be hard to put into perspective by themselves. I saw this a few days
back and thought it did a great job putting some of these billions into perspective:
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Then I saw THIS chart and it REALLY put things into perspective.
I'm not the type to suggest that all defense spending needs to be cut and that all poor people entitled to this or that or even that the rich need to
be taxed into the poor house, but maybe there's a slightly better balance we could be aiming for?
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Where are those charts and numbers from?
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

I am speechless. I don't have the answers but man, it sure seems like priorities are upside down.

Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

until people learn that voting republican is blatantly a vote against their own interests (which wont happen....due to the billions of dollars in
propaganda fodder the GOP has mixed with the general dumbness possessed by the middle of this country) or the democrats learn to find their balls and
stand up to the republicans (which is even less likely to happen) this will never change

I would never support a republican but god damn it's getting harder to call myself a democrat

I think our government has completely lost sight of our well being, and view society as a statistic and nothing more. They have lost touch with what
is actually hurting our nation. Seems most politicians would rather "play" in the government than actually do anything to help.
Two words, one promise. XXX

How does this make ya feel? - http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/03/15/3164202.htm
| Quote: | US millionaires want more cash
Posted 1 hour 44 minutes ago
Almost half of America's millionaires do not feel rich enough despite their out-sized savings, while almost two-thirds fret over the chance that
rising taxes might further erode their enviable nest eggs, according to a new survey.
Fidelity Investments, a Boston-based financial services company, polled US households with assets to invest - excluding workplace retirement accounts
and real estate - of at least $US1 million.
Of the more than 1,000 millionaires who responded, 42 per cent said they do not feel all that well off.
Fidelity then asked the unsatisfied cohort of millionaires what it would take to make them feel better about their net worth. The answer: assets to
invest of at least $US7.5 million.
For comparison's sake, the average US household has a net worth - including retirement assets and real estate holdings - of $US86,000, according to
the Federal Reserve.
Sixty-four per cent of the millionaires who participated in the Fidelity survey said they were "extremely or very concerned" about the impact of
potential tax changes on their investments, and were talking with investment advisers to minimise the impact.
