that is stupid. If he is rich it would be in his best interest to
support the rich like republicans do. Supporting the poor goes against
his best interest.

welfare check? I always thought that you weren't too bright and this
confirms it. The monies returned to alaskans are SURPLUSES, and it
isn't a bad idea, when government raises too much money from taxes it
should return the excess to the taxpayers. you liberloons are too
funny

What? Are you saying that people who work for any level of government
anywhere don't have the same right to spend their salaries however they
wish as people who work in the private sector do?

Oh, can I take this one? I think when she used the words "hockey mom"
she was claiming she was just part of the "regular folks" who don't make
purchases that would be deemed absurd by people for whom money is always
an issue. It's pretentious and hypocritical, and you are either too
motherfucking stupid to see this, or you are trying to pick the low
hanging fruit of posts that aren't very well thought out. Try me, you
sanctimonious piece of shit.

Ed, that sounds like sarcasm. Obama recently managed to pay off his

Depends. I is that tax dollars as received by working? Or tax dollars
received as a welfare check?
Could Sarah afford that $2500 top if the Palin family did not receive
their $22K welfare check?

With a family income of about $250k plus a $22k welfare check from the
state of AK (essentially paid for by federal funds borrowed from China),
the Palin family is obviously NOT a typical middle class family, as she
is claiming.

Yup. Obama didn't have a rich daddy to pay for everything.

What part of receiving government aid do not not consider welfare? In
this case, they are taking most from the federal government, which by
the way, hasn't had a surplus in over seven years.
What part of income distribution from the federal coffer do you not
consider to be welfare?
AK receives $5 from the federal government aid for every dollar
collected in Federal income taxes. Without that income
redistristribution, AK would not be able to provide their welfare checks.

Come to my town (Austin, TX) and I guarantee you that you'll find a LOT of
:soccer/baseball/football moms that own $2000+ jackets, purses, dresses,
etc... especially in certain parts of town. It's not all that
unusual...seriously.

Yeah, it seems like Sarah Palin, who professes to love her kids so
much, could get her daughter Bristol into something other than blue
jeans. That speaks volumes about "our soccer mom" and where her
priorities are.

Yet still keep her daughter Bristol in blue jeans? Oh, that's right -

I know a lot of soccer/hockey moms...I've yet to see any of them wearing
anything that costs more than a grand...let alone two.
I guess there's a difference when the soccer mom is from Beverly Hills
and Harlem.
If Palin pretends to represent the vast vast majority of soccer moms,
she's not doing well to be wearing something that could feed a family of
four for months.

Wow, that's high. I'm still working on the same box of 200 checks I got when
I opened the account 8 years ago since I do 99% of transactions
electronically. However, I've ordered at least two boxes of just deposit
slips, and they come 200 to a box for $8.50.

TOPIC: "Someone Has Made a Fortune. I Hope They are Held to Account"

From: St Georges Day April 23rd
On 18 September 2008, a Halifax and Royal Bank of Scotland employee,
upon hearing that the bank was to be taken over by Lloyds TSB, said
this to a Times reporter:
Quote:
Someone out there has made a fortune from all this. When the dust
settles, I JUST HOPE THEY'RE GOING TO BE HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR WHAT
THEY'VE DONE TO US.
http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/banking_and_finance/article4776526.ece
THEY will not be held to account.
THEY now have their men in place, owning and governing a banking house
where "well over half the households in Britain would have a
relationship".
The international financiers, so beloved of Blair and Brown,
engineeered this situation. HBOS was, very much, a going concern. It
wasn't badly managed or led. The same kind of creatures that created
Sub Prime and the Credit Crunch decided they were going to force HBOS
to the wall and they did.
Another HBOS employee said:
Quote:
It used to be the case that when you went to work for the Halifax you
had a job for life. Those days are gone now.
Those days are gone because of Margaret Thatcher's love of Fat Cat and
her lack of concern for social harmony and the British way. ("There's
no such thing as society"!)
They are gone because Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and the New Labour
project pointedly refused to punish the politicans who had created a
world in which such uncaring money-grubbers could wreak havoc and the
money-grubbers themselves. In fact, not only did they not punish them,
they, too, treated them with such favour that, 11 years into the Time
of Tony, an insanely anti-societal banking fraternity can create Sub
Prime, the Credit Crunch and a global meltdown, profit wildly from the
misery of everyone else and expect to suffer no penalty at all for
their brute misdeeds.
Elsewhere at The Times, this was said:
Quote:
IT IS FEARED THAT UP TO 40,000 STAFF COULD BE AXED. Eric Daniels,
Lloyds TSB's chief executive, admitted there would be job losses… Mr
Daniels, who will become chief executive of the combined group,
signalled a wave of cost-cutting and branch closures at both banks
after stating the deal would save at least £1 billion in annual costs
by 2011.
Sir Victor Blank, the Lloyds TSB chairman WHOSE FRIENDSHIP WITH PRIME
MINISTER GORDON BROWN HELPED ENGINEER THE MERGER, BECOMES CHAIRMAN OF
THE ENLARGED BANK.
Blank was the Director of The Royal Bank of Scotland, which merged
with The Halifax to form HBOS, from 1985 to 1993.
The Times continues:
Quote:
John Hutton, Secretary of State for Business, confirmed that the
Government would be intervening to approve the takeover in the
national interest. IN OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES, A COMBINATION OF TWO OF
BRITAIN'S BIGGEST BANKS WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT ON COMPETITION
GROUNDS…
ALISTAIR DARLING, THE CHANCELLOR, CONCEDED THIS MORNING THAT THE
GOVERNMENT HAD PLAYED A ROLE IN THE DEAL…
'This is a landmark day for the British financial services industry.
If you think about the company, IT REALLY PUTS US ON THE GLOBAL
SCALE,' Mr Daniels said…
The merger of HBOS and Lloyds TSB would change the face of personal
banking in Britain, creating a gorilla among pygmies and eventually
altering the look of the high street. Well over half the households in
Britain would have a relationship with the new superbank, which would
become the biggest player in the personal savings and mortgage
sectors.
Hundreds of branches look certain to be closed, especially on the many
high streets where the two organisations have competing branches. One
estimate was that AS MANY AS 1,000 OF THE COMBINED BRANCH NETWORK OF
3,000 COULD EVENTUALLY BE SHUT...
HBOS employs 72,000 people while Lloyds has 70,000, in both cases
almost entirely in Britain. In mergers of such similarly positioned
organisations, as many as ONE THIRD OF THE COMBINED WORKFORCE COULD
LOSE THEIR JOBS...
One banker familiar with mergers in the sector said that the potential
for job cuts was considerable...
'There's massive overlap between Lloyds and HBOS,' he said. 'It's
going to be unbelievably messy'.
http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/banking_and_finance/article4776455.ece
The top guns at Lloyds TSB are the aforementioned Sir Victor Blank,
"whose friendship with Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, helped engineer
the merger" and Eric Daniels.
Daniels is an American of German/Chinese heritage.
Blank's grandparents were Ukrainian Jews.
This is the unacceptible face of Globalisation and The New World
Order, folks.
Look at that face. Is this really what you want? Do you want your
lives run by an unanswerable, global super-elite who couldn't give a
damn for you or yours?
Well then, ask yourselves these two questions:
What's the opposite of Globalism? What does the Global super-elite
most fear?
Answer: Nationalism.
Which is why the globalist media has demonised the British Nationalist
for almost 80 years now.
Mirror Group Newspapers, which has around 160 local and national
newspapers in its portfolio, includes:
The Daily Mirror; The Sunday Mirror; The Sunday Mail; The People; The
Daily Record; (Scotland's biggest selling daily) The Birmingham Post;
The Birmingham Mail; The Sunday Mercury; The Liverpool Daily Post: the
Liverpool Echo; The Racing Post; The South London Press and The
Western Mail. (Wales' biggest selling daily)
The Mirror Group used to own a 43% share of The Independent as well.
Sir Victor Blank, who is now the Chairman of a banking house where
"well over half the households in Britain would have a relationship",
was until 2006, the Chairman of Trinity Mirror plc., the UK's biggest
newspaper group, which owned Mirror Group Newspapers.
So, if you ever want to know why those who care most about the British
people have never been given a fair crack of the whip by the the
press, just ask Gordon Brown's friend, the Chairman of the biggest
bank in the UK, Victor Blank.
In 1999, he was ennobled by Tony Blair.
