How much did you pay in taxes last year
? Are you sure?
Take a look at the total amount of money withheld from your wages last year (that's line 64 on your 1040 Tax Return), and Subtract your Refund amount, or Add the amount of the Check you included with your Tax Return. The result is the amount of your money that Uncle Sam kept.

Well, that depends on who you ask. Apparently, today there is a real conflict over who's money it is anyway.
Those who work hard to earn it believe it's theirs, and those who legislate believe it's theirs. Once you've made a few bucks, I can guarantee those who want to take it away from you are not far away. Some of them even have web sites detailing how you can send them your money.

There has been a lot of talk in Washington recently about senior citizens, mostly about how various healthcare reform models would help or hurt them. But there is another critical issue that has quietly devastated seniors financially over the last few decades. It concerns how the cost of living is calculated. How does the administration justify not giving a cost of living increase to Social Security recipients this year?

Why is our economy weakening?
Why is the dollar weakening?
Why are we buying so many things from overseas rather than making them?
Why are so many losing their jobs?
This full length movie explains it.

Consumers have been making real progress this year in reducing their overall credit card debt balances. It seems they have gotten the message that it is a huge drain and stress on personal finances to be carrying and paying for large amounts of debt each month. The great recession has been a real wake up call to many. The word is out.
So let's look at the numbers.
According to data released by the Federal Reserve, consumers in the U.S reduced their personal debt for the seventh straight month in August of this year. And as for credit card debt in particular, it has dropped for the 11th straight month. This is a new record. Consumers have been hit hard by the weak economy and have made great efforts to improve their financial standings and financial positions. The paying down of credit card debt is key towards these efforts.
But what about consumers who are unable to make a dent in their credit card debt? Perhaps they are unemployed or they have been hit hard by the raising of the minimum payments due each month from 2% of the total balance to 5% of the total balance. What options do these consumers have? And who do they turn to for help when seeking debt relief?
Actually, there are many options for consumers these days in terms of debt relief programs. Most people have heard of such programs as debt consolidation, home equity loans, even bankruptcy, but the newest and most effective debt relief program is known as Debt Settlement. This program is able to achieve spectacular results in terms of overall debt reduction. With a debt settlement program, consumers can expect to have their credit card debt reduced and eliminated by 50% to 75% – without the need for filing bankruptcy.
True debt relief is possible. Consumers need only do their research, read and study as much
as possible, and then make an informed decision.

This video (especially the beginning) is quite disturbing and is not for the faint of heart (you've been warned). It is however very powerful in making it's point – that we've all been programmed, lied to and bamboozled throughout our lives – programmed to be ignorant of the real issues that matter; to think like a herd of sheep and wrap our lives around materialism and debt – to feed the commercialistic profit making mechanisms (the industries, corporations and banks) who own and control our government through their puppet master strings.

A powerful new video has been released that explains another piece of the financial puzzle and exposes some of the players manipulating the financial markets. The Obama Deception is a hard-hitting film that completely destroys the myth that Barack Obama is working for the best interests of the American people. The Obama phenomenon not about Left or Right: its about a One World Government.
The international banks plan to loot the people of the United States and destroy the financial futures of you, your children, and your children's children.

The history of fiat money, to put it kindly, has been one of failure. In fact, EVERY fiat currency since the Romans first began the practice in the first century has ended in devaluation and eventual collapse, of not only the currency, but of the economy that housed the fiat currency as well.
