TTQ B4U

Exactly. It's the leaky bucket that needs replaced and or fixed. The solution isn't pouring more tax money into it. People need to be accoutable too. Don't work or train then you don't get shit. /period. We're way too accommodating and caring for the bottom end is continuing to eat away at the middle class.

Let's begin a discussion on the downfalls of a Single Payer system then. Feel free to lead-off with why you support such a system. Yours no, but many yes and then there are folks who are forced to pay for more when they don't need nor want those services being required. All in the name of covering others. Improper solution to what we know is broken. The entire plan fails to have been thought through and that's not just talk. Facts are emerging to show it. How many more do we need to show it was a dumb plan. Has some good ideas and points but overall it's not good for many. Not true. All that's clear is many hear fail to answer questions and instead duck and hide them to avoid changing their own view. CR Drama is always easier to handle than real life. Good luck with your wife.

Let's see a subi vs audi up a ski slope or ramp.

Cool, but my money is on our local boys though....

I don't know enough about Farm Subsidies to have an opinion, but what I do know is those getting such money are running successful businesses and providing for not only their family but many others in the form of jobs and payroll. $20k average isn't bad vs $1,500 subsidies that don't generate work, provide for others and are in many cases supporting families that are riddled with bad decisions and low skills. If it's my money, I know where I'd invest it.....with those that are proving they have the skill and will to make a difference.

Ben called and he approved the 36" tall Wing.

Don't know, I'm sure there is. I just know that I pay a shit-ton of taxes and know that it's being mis-managed worse every day and I'm tired of working smarter and being taxed more on the money we earn and in turn having more entitlements being created or the existing ones being expanded to soak up more of what my family EARNS.

Scholarships are typically created based upon criteria, which reflect the values and purposes of the donor or organization. Perhaps their community sees no purpose as they already have what it is they are looking for within their own institution. Love to hear your thoughts on your questions, but I think I know where you're trying to go with it. I'll somewhat put the ball in motion for you to swing at. If the people in the area which the schools serves (clearly not the south side) but rather the north, and they are under full enrollment and graduating 100% already, why would they add more kids to the mix? Personally, I don't see them having a need to offer any. Again, the kids on the south side aren't applying themselves in droves. Those that are graduating and doing well such as the last girl mentioned, congratulations to her. The South side community needs to focus on getting their numbers up to par vs whining about no scholarships being offered by the other school up north. FOCUS on their own damn community. It's what THEY Do for themselves FIRST, NOT what others are or are not doing TO THEM. Like it or not, in this story, there are two DIFFERENT Communities and that's life. Distance and travel times, etc. are how neighborhoods all over area set up. My kids don't go but 2-3 miles if that to go to school. I have zero interest in getting my son a scholarship at some school in Upper Arlington or Bexley, etc. He's doing great right where he is and I don't feel I'm entitled to or that anyone owes me or my son such a scholarship opportunity. I keep going back to this lady in your video who has NEVER had a bank account. Mistake #1 she made her entire life is NOT PAYING HERSELF FIRST. When I was 13 and worked under the table for peanuts, my dad took me to the bank and opened me an account. I LEARNED to pay myself first. When I left for OSU in 1988, I had nearly $20k in that account of MY OWN EARNED money. Discipline. She can afford to put even $5 week aside. $10 if she ate less and lost about 150lbs.

^^ THIS ^^ THIS ^^ THIS ^^ THIS ^^ THIS ^^ THIS I just checked my direct deposit today and for all the hard work I've put in, I freaking paid out nearly 37% of my gross to bullshit waste of my money taxes and crap that doesn't help me support my family this month. The quarterly bonus I EARNED and worked my ass off for, I got about 50% of it thanks to our Gov't and all that it takes to waste. I'm tired of it and just like this post, it's time the rest of us middle class stop allowing the entitlement programs and lawmakers to tax us to death and take what we earn to give to those that don't. Enough is enough already.

Great video and interesting. However, a couple notes: The grossly overwieght woman raising 8 kids as a prison gaurd: What role does she and her sister who abandon one of those kids play? Really 7-8 kids? Why? Last I checked having kids was a choice SHE made. Isn't that a situation SHE created? What does race have to do with that? Note Tom Turell. A rich but giving man that seems to live a pretty reasonable and modest lifestyle. A hard working man who has EARNED his money and built a business and genuinely seemed to provide jobs and care for those around him. Note the Mayor. A military guy, a working guy a real man's-man who is responsible. Where are the South-Side men like that? Why is it that WE the rest of society are seen to be responsible for single mom households and dads who abandon them? Time has come for them to be ACCOUNTABLE and for people to STOP MAKING BABIES. DAMN PEOPLE! If you don't have the money to care for yourself, please don't bring a child into the world. It's reckless, sad and in many ways so damn irresponsible. THAT is one of the key reasons so many poor stay poor. kids are expensive to raise. Schools: Does it cost money to study hard and graduate? My son goes to Dublin PUBLIC schools and has skipped the 5th grade and moved right to 6th this year and is in advanced placement classes. How did any amount of money help him do that vs the other kids that perhaps didn't and don't apply themselves like he does? He comes home, does his homework, parents are involved, he reads vs play video games, etc. Smart kid. He's responsible. Would putting this prison guards kids in the private school help them study more? How would that put the "fire in their belly" that they will need to succeed? Would she magically help them with homework? Do those kids parents do that now? I would love to hear more as a follow up story on the south side parents role in raising their own damn kids. She seems like a very real, very nice person. If you have nothing why not move? Nothing in their town is the same as nothing elsewhere but if elsewhere offers you more of an opportunity for a job, then it sounds like a logical move she needs to make happen. Love the story about the restaurant owner, but if her goal is to pay a "living wage" vs minimum wage, she will likely fail. God Bless her for wanting to help but it needs to be with a sound business plan and last I checked, your requirements to support your family are not your bosses responsibilities nor focus. Not unless you work for a not for profit that chooses to put people first. Great job for that young lady Ms Willis that graduated and is onto college. Perhaps that area wouldn't be so depressed if there were more kids like her.

from the first 30 seconds, I heard "what people think" on how wealth was distributed. First off, wealth isn't "distributed", it's EARNED. Why people think or even believe it should be "distributed" or NOT earned is beyond me. That expectation of a false entitlement is what people hate, not he people in the Poor Category or even the people themselves, but rather their skewed mindset of life. What CEO's Earn relative to their average employee isn't crazy stupid high in all cases. Even still, it's a company's choice on how they internally distribute payroll and profits, not the rest of America's. how's that any different than what this video shows but "lumping" all the 1%'ers or even the top 20%'ers together? Isn't that just as unfair? There are lots of giving and charitable rich people. Do they not already get more help? Define more too? When is enough enough and when is it time to cut them off and make them EARN what it is they are already getting or better yet, what they are further asking for? Not sure where Racism comes into play here. Haven't seen it in this thread yet.

Well Said.

Thank you! I just took a job application from a neighbor of ours who moved here with his wife and two kids from Jordon several years ago. Hard working guy with a military background, sense of discipline and while he's never made more than $25k/yr., he just completed a technical degree in the evenings and is applying for a $50k yr job at my lab. His wife manages a doctors office and together they are living the American Dream. The cool story behind him is he came here with about $10k in USD and worked his ass off. Literally lost 30lbs in the first year working odd jobs and street crew labor to "make it" and do well for his family. Bought a house, paid off their first car, a used Malibu just this past summer and the rest is yet to be made history. I'm very happy for him. In the end, the interesting perspective he brought me is that yes, here, our poor or down and out are light years above where he comes from. What he did with two kids and wife in tow is to me as brave as being in the Jordanian Military. Dude has stones and work ethic.

No way. I don't have the facts, but I believe you're way off. If there are households with two professionals that don't together make $150-200k up their doing it wrong. Ray is spot on too as it's not about what one earns, it's about their net worth. Incomes go up and down for everyone but those doing it right live below their means and plan for the future.

AMEN x 2. Life isn't fair. Deal with it.

Not sure if you're serious. Personally, such a statement hits my household directly and it's statement that I do not support. Gov't and others can effectively keep their hands off my money.

10 seconds if that. If I push the button, it will show "Start Command being sent to Tim's Fusion" and it's running within 10 seconds. On a rare occasion it will say "failed to communicate, etc....." but I'd say that's rare as maybe once a quarter. Even then, I find the car still starts. IMO it has something to do with my phone as if I reboot the phone it then works. If you really want to, you can always use the Key Fob that also comes with the system. I however don't even carry it. I tend to only use it at the house as I have it hanging where I keep my keys and only use it if I have my car in the driveway.

“The arithmetic is inescapable,” said Patrick Johnston, chief executive officer of the California Association of Health Plans. Costs must be spread, so while some consumers will see their premiums drop, others will pay more -- “no matter what people in Washington say.” Too simple of a concept for most Americans to understand. “My impression was …there would be a lot more choice, driving some of the rates down,” said Malean, who does not believe she is eligible for a subsidy. Again, no surprise. That's what you get when we get forced into a plan that even lawmakers don't know much about.

"And many of these middle class consumers hit by higher rates do not qualify for the federal subsidies intended help millions of lower income consumers get covered, many for the first time. Anger from consumers is likely to add to already rising political pressure to delay or alter the law." why anyone is surprised is beyond me. I only hope that many of those who are angered are the very same dumb mofo's that voted this fool in office. They are getting what their ignorance buys them.

In fairness, I'd rather not list a price since it could have changed and I'm not the vendor. I hope you understand. More than the $299 noted here, but the few bucks were worth it considering it can be expanded to include an alarm and more even. Reliable as all get out too. I have mine configured with the cars GPS so I can see exactly where it is at all times. Start it from anywhere in the world so long as my phone and car have cell signal. Pops trunk, locks, unlocks, marks parking spots, etc. Best thing for me is I can remote start it from deep inside Sam's club or my office building when it's 25* out. Distance doesn't matter. Tells you the status of the car too so you know if it's running, etc. Call PPC.

Call Kyle at PPC's. They did the Viper Remote with SmartPhone app on my company car/Fusion Sport and it's awesome.

I hear it has hell of a go pedal too. Full throttle or nothing at all. Very cool to have and run. It's going to be a long winter for you I bet waiting for a nice day to run.

^^ this. Just like job hunting, it's all in WHO you know. CR has never let me down in terms of referrals that way.

Hot! Do the rear end tail lamp swap please. Can't wait to see it vs the ZR1

WOW! If you put some wings on it you'd take off as you cross the line.
