Resolved Question: What are your thoughts on this?

Taxation: Three great waves .... A must read, this is not bashing, it's the facts of one of Obama's "changes"....... MAKE SURE ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY UNDERSTAND JUST WHAT THIS OBAMA "CHANGE" IS GOING TO DO!!! In just six months, on January 1, 2011, the largest tax hikes in the history of America will take effect. They will hit families and small businesses in three great waves. On January 1, 2011, here’s what happens... (read it to the end, so you see all three waves)... First Wave: Expiration of 2001 and 2003 Tax Relief In 2001 and 2003, the GOP Congress enacted several tax cuts for investors, small business owners, and families. These will all expire on January 1, 2011. Personal income tax rates will rise. The top income tax rate will rise from 35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which two-thirds of small business profits are taxed). The lowest rate will rise from 10 to 15 percent. All the rates in between will also rise. Itemized deductions and personal exemptions will again phase out, which has the same mathematical effect as higher marginal tax rates. The full list of marginal rate hikes is below: * The 10% bracket rises to an expanded 15% * * The 25% bracket rises to 28% * * The 28% bracket rises to 31% * * The 33% bracket rises to 36% * * The 35% bracket rises to 39.6% Higher taxes on marriage and family. The "marriage penalty" (narrower tax brackets for married couples) will return from the first dollar of income. The child tax credit will be cut in half from $1000 to $500 per child. The standard deduction will no longer be doubled for married couples relative to the single level. The dependent care and adoption tax credits will be cut. The return of the Death Tax. This year only, there is no death tax. (It’s a quirk!) For those dying on or after January 1, 2011, there is a 55 percent top death tax rate on estates over $1 million. A person leaving behind two homes, a business, a retirement account, could easily pass along a death tax bill to their loved ones. Think of the farmers who don’t make much money, but their land, which they purchased years ago with after-tax dollars, is now worth a lot of money. Their children will have to sell the farm, which may be their livelihood, just to pay the estate tax if they don’t have the cash sitting around to pay the tax. Think about your own family’s assets. Maybe your family owns real estate, or a business that doesn’t make much money, but the building and equipment are worth $1 million. Upon their death, you can inherit the $1 million business tax free, but if they own a home, stock, cash worth $500K on top of the $1 million business, then you will owe the government $275,000 cash! That’s 55% of the value of the assets over $1 million! Do you have that kind of cash sitting around waiting to pay the estate tax? Higher tax rates on savers and investors. The capital gains tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 20 percent in 2011. The dividends tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 39.6 percent in 2011. These rates will rise another 3.8 percent in 2013. Second Wave: Obamacare There are over twenty new or higher taxes in Obamacare. Several will first go into effect on January 1, 2011. They include: The "Medicine Cabinet Tax" Thanks to Obamacare, Americans will no longer be able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin). The "Special Needs Kids Tax" This provision of Obamacare imposes a cap on flexible spending accounts (FSAs) of $2500 (Currently, there is no federal government limit). There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children. There are thousands of families with special needs children in the United States , and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education. Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs children in Washington , D.C. ( National Child Research Center ) can easily exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars can not be used to pay for this type of special needs education. The HSA (Health Savings Account) Withdrawal Tax Hike. This provision of Obamacare increases the additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent.

Resolved Question: Why Do So Many US Blacks Embrace A White Culture As Their Black Identity?

I've always been confused by this. My ancestors came over to the US back in the 1830's or so and may have been indentured servants to pay for the passage, because of how poor they may have been and settled down mostly in Pennsylvania setting up little businesses like making machine parts for farm equipment, selling musical instruments, and sauerkraut (no beer :-( ). So my heritage is from Bavaria and that's part of our identity. But so many blacks have this strong hold to an identity that is rooted in a white culture that is as white as you can get! Popular black culture today is rooted in the Scottish/Irish culture of those who settled in the southern US in the 1700's. The mannerisms, slang, traditions, and so much else stems from those Celtic people known as the Ulsters and more commonly historically known by the names, rednecks, hillbillies, or crackers (not meaning to offend anyone). I can have a very contrarian attitude to those I dislike and if I had gained freedom from being enslaved from someone I would want to distance myself as far away from those people and their culture as possible! I would want to wipeout that culture from my family and start new like when the symbolism and icons of Nazi Germany were destroyed after WWII. But maybe that's just me from my very individualist/independent nature. I read tons of history books on just about every possible subject and find societal things like this so interesting and puzzling. :-)Yes I get that being a slave they were ripped away from their original culture, but there were various different cultures here in the US. There was no one "white" culture here and still isn't. Many of them don't get along too well. Like the German culture was huge, very antislavery, and about 180 degrees different in so many ways from the Ulster or redneck culture and they didn't exactly get along very well.Conformity isn't what a lot of them seem to want though so it's kind of a weird paradox.I have 2 black friends from Jamaica who are very cool guys, but they talk very much like Sean Connery with a Scottish brogue. I think they too are products of the Ulsters as well! :-)Not that I would've thought that they'd adopt an African culture. It's just something the dynamics of I don't know and wonder about.The primary culture of the slave owners was Scottish/Irish Ulster based and that's what the blacks were immersed in as opposed to the other white cultures here. As for my family it's not like we lived like Bavarians here, but settled in German communities and many started small businesses or shops and lived in that culture as opposed those who would live in an Irish community or a Jewish community, all of which have a lot of cultural differences between them.I found some other information. There were some blacks who adopted German culture. They were blacks who lived in the northern free states where the German populations were. Germans never settled in the south and so that was dominated by the Irish/Scottish culture. Then towards the end of the 19th century huge numbers of southern blacks moved north and the Ulster culture that they brought with them squelched out the different culture that the northern black's had. So that's why so many whites in the north and south differ much more greatly in culture and the blacks in the north sound and act mostly southern. more

It was a history series about life and how we used to live a few hundred years ago - in Tudor times I think. In it a small group of people were sent to live in a house for a year with a bit of land. The house was equipped only with the items that would have been around in those times, and the only food they had to eat was home grown, using the farming equipment of the time. Even their clothes were of the period. I only saw one episode, in which the residents had to harvest wheat and go through the whole winnowing and grinding process before eventually making a loaf of bread. They also tended the (weak) beer which they brewed and drank instead of water because it was cleaner and safer. In the evening they sat around a large table and played simple games by candle-light. The name of the series did not give much clue to the content. There was no "history of.." or "the way we were" or anything like the name of the farm, but I just can't find it in any search engine.The last bit should read, "There was no "history of.." or "the way we were" or anything like that. I think it was a simple name, like the name of the farm, but I just can't find it in any search engine." Sorry about that.Thanks, diddydinsdale, but it definitely wasn't that. I used to watch that at school, too and remember it well. This was more for adults. more

Resolved Question: i need help re-wording an esay project for history class.....any help?

For many years, Indian nations or tribes upon losing their land either survived on the margins of white communities or moved West. Indeed, early in the nineteenth century the lands along the west bank of the Mississippi served as a sort of Indian country, where nations such as the Cherokee were sent. It soon became clear, however, that white settlers would be moving across the Mississippi River much sooner than anticipated. The reservation system emerged as the federal government’s major solution to the problem of how to make Indian land available to whites while protecting and acculturating Indians. Reservations were much smaller than the lands that Indian nations had previously controlled, in part because groups from several nations were commonly combined on the same reservation. These reservations were typically located on poor land, both because whites did not desire such land and because policy makers wanted to isolate Indians from the corrupt influence of white traders, especially those who traded in alcohol. Reservations would serve, government officials hoped and anticipated, as laboratories in which Indians could learn farming and trades under the protection of federal agents. It would prepare them for joining and blending with the American mainstream within a few generations. The Reservation System in Practice As racist as the assumption of Indian acculturation was, its proponents at least believed that Indians were as capable of learning and living as whites did. As the nineteenth century progressed, however, more and more Americans were influenced by ideas of racial hierarchy in which non-white races were said to be forever stuck in a less civilized state. Even those Indians who wished to become educated in white ways therefore found substantial barriers. Congress was often unwilling to fund reservations and to fulfill treaty obligations, and the goods and personnel assigned to reservations were often of very poor quality. Indian tribes usually lived side by side with tribes of different cultures, sometimes former enemies. Their teachers were often more interested in extracting labor from them than in teaching them, and Indians who tried to making a living as farmers commonly found that they were stuck with inferior land and equipment. Many Native Americans, furthermore, did not desire to change their way of life. By the early twentieth century, then, Indians were the most impoverished people in the United States. They had lost their political independence, and much of their culture had eroded. Indian agents tended to be authoritarian, and educators discouraged or prohibited traditional languages, rituals, and dress. more

Resolved Question: What kind of attorney do I need for this really big mess?

I am a foster parent and have been for 4 years. In that time most of the children placed in my home have been managable. For one year I have had a sibling group in my home that consist of 4 boys (2 have had to be moved out) The problem is I have a small farm and alot of animals. The private agency failed to provide full disclosure about this sibling groups as required by law. The agency minimized and ommitted and outright lied about the history of Animal cruelty (mutilation and killing of many animals before being placed with us) Sneaking out at night through windows, Urinating on everything furniture car seats etc. Fire starting, and extreme violence. Over $60,000 damage has been caused to my house, barns, live stock, equipment and vehicles by these children . The agency refuses to address the issues and the two that were moved, The agency told the new homes there were no behavior issues even though one tried to blow the house up. What attorney takes a case like this? more

Resolved Question: Are you in agreement to legislation requiring a bio-chip implant in humans with a crime record?

Veri-Chip Corp. is mfg. a bio-chip capable of being implanted under the skin in farm animals so that their entire history can be on file with the new NAIS oversite boondoggle agency. The stated purpose: to control disease outbreaks and limit their contamination. A similar chip can be implanted under the skin of humans as well, for the purpose of clear absolute identification making it difficult to compromise or steal one's identity. This technology is capable of containing all of your medical, financial and property records and related identifying numbers and history. Certain machine "readers" can then readily access this micro chip information. It is unclear as to whether or not a thief could steal this information by simply kidnapping a person & then using a hackers equipment to access this information? Would this type of implant invite a new type of criminal activity? If the implant bus.isn't clear to you, here is a website that can help - http://www.nonais.org/ more
