dude commented on the blog post New Report Shows 26 Fortune 500 Businesses Paid Negative Tax Rate From 2008-2011
The impact of these statistics might be heightened if it was also reported:
1. The profits of each company in each respective year
2. The number of people hired in by each per year
3. The number of people fired/terminated/laid-off by each per year -

You probably saw these–Rush in 1988 explaining on Public Access TV how he does his job. Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z15uiwHfhbI Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTFEe02IxyY Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH0QhvnPTP0 He says at one point it is up to the listener to decide whether he actually believes anything he says on the air. So we have an apology where he [...]

dude commented on the diary post The banks have won, homeowners are re-victimized. by Cynthia Kouril.
The reason I think he is relevant to Occupiers and to all of us is the original question George asked: Why is it when an economy grows and people prosper, the gap between rich and poor increases? (Why doesn’t a rising tide lift all boats?) George asked this question back in the days of Teddy [...]

He was about a bit more than a land tax. You seem to be acquainted with Mr. George, so I assume you know that too.

In North Carolina, our AG has been unreachable for a long, long time. Nothing will happen here to keep NC from signing on (despite we have had a number of county recorders angry about rono-signing and MERS). I wish it were not so. My comment, however, is that the problem and the challenge seem incredibly [...]

dude commented on the blog post Protesters Demonstrating in Front of Foreclosure Fraud Settlement Meeting in Chicago
A $20 bil settlement is not even a slap on the wrists. It’s more a ‘dap’ of the fists between partners in crime.

dude commented on the blog post Donovan Claims “Imminent” Foreclosure Fraud Settlement, Again
I still don’t quite understand what you are saying with respect to MERS. My documentation says MERS was part of the mortgage process. My county collects property insurance from me and shows me on their books. How can you tell if the chain is broken if your county recorded your deed and is taxing you?

You could fix all this if someone was in charge,” Dimon said, tapping on the table for emphasis. “No one is in charge.

Themarket is in charge. Didn’t you know? Haven’t you been paying attention the last 10 years? This is the natural consequence of the market. You can’t want to change that now, can you? Com’on, Jaime. This is government run like a business. This is what you get, Jaime.

If you really want to irritate Chuck Norris, remind him that he never was as good as Joe Lewis. And Joe remains far more talented.

dude commented on the blog post Europe Braces for Recession, Bank Insolvency, as “Solution” Fails to Solve
If a prolonged recession went on in Europe, and both England and US maintained their positions as makers of their own soverign currencies, and if bothe the US and England did nothing but support their own financial houses–
would these financial houses start buying up European assets at firesale prices?
Just asking. Macro-econ is not my specialty.

dude commented on the blog post Terms for Proposed Foreclosure Fraud Settlement Shock the Conscience
In April, State AG’s met in Charlotte NC to discuss their power to take on mortgage and other bank fraud. Elizabeth Warren was the keynote speaker. The NC AG put the agenda brochure on his website. You might find it interesting–how they characterize this Dodd-Frank “powers” and the “shift” in regulatory thinking at the Fed level.

dude commented on the diary post On Occupy Wall Street goals, tactics, operations by TarheelDem.
Seems to me what governments and corporations would fear from Occupiers is some sort of world-wide flash-mob demonstration which could show the breadth of discontent. The problem (it seems to me ) is that the various Occupiers around the nation and world are still congealing their thoughts and rightfully focused on the direct impact of [...]
