It's time you were treated like a queen -- or king -- for (at least) a day.You've waited long enough.
“Wow! I’m ecstatic to tell you that I’ve snagged another one of Dr. Lant’s superb articles.”
I wish to thank each and everyone of you who read this “Blog” and those who take the time out of their busy day to comment. We are only just getting started here. So please do keep reading and especially making comments. The direction of this “Blog” comes from you and the comments that you impart to us. Today’s “Blog:..It's time you were treated like a queen -- or king -- for (at least) a day.You've waited long enough.
So as I mentioned to you above. Comment, Comment, Comment. Your opinionhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif matters so make it known. Until Tomorrow. You can reach me by email lrewhomebusiness@gmail.com; cell phone 310-561-2580, or Skype me at lawence.rinke http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif . And I want to hear from each and EVERY one of you
Author's program note. Years ago there was a television program called "Queen for a Day" where some perfectly average Jane or Betty was selected by host Jack Bailey and got herself pampered for a memorable day she would never forget. Frankly, this is what we all need and, sad to say, the program is long gone.
Being the focus of an episode of "This is your life" (host Ralph Edwards) would have worked, too, but that also bit the dust in 1972; otherwise I'd recommend you as their next guest right this minute. Yikes! Where the number of opportunities for showcasing you should be rising, in fact they have plummeted and that is very much the problem... and the reason for this ultra-necessary article.
To get this process underway I have selected one of Hollywood's most soaring scores... it's "Conquest" by Alfred Newman, commissioned for the 1947 film "Captain from Castile" starring one of the great stars of the silver screen.... Tyrone Power. It's music in the grand tradition... and it brightened the lives and put zip in the step of all who heard it. Since I was born in '47, I like to think my mother was humming it in the delivery room. It certainly suits me.
Go to any search engine now and marinate yourself in its uplifting exuberance. Like I've been trying to tell you; you deserve it. Got it on? Now we must craft an event worthy of the music... and of you!
You are not unwanted.... you are not unconsidered... but you are most assuredly uncelebrated and unheralded. And (let's be brutally frank with each other) that irritates, irks, and galls you, doesn't it, well doesn't it?
You work incredibly hard to keep home, hearth and happiness together, and you want more than the occasional peck on the cheek, more than the Hallmark card with its pre-written message of banality and over ripe sentimentality. Yes, you want more... more than the once-a-year visit to the waffle house for Mother's Day... or the lackluster seasonal greetings for Father's Day. You want more.... you deserve more... and now with me as your self-appointed but supremely necessary Wizard-in-Chief, you shall have more.
The Plan.
You have been patient long enough. I think you know, too, further patience won't deliver the love-in that you desire. You do know this, right? So, it's time for a radical change of ideas and a brand-new plan... what celebrated author Grace Paley called "enormous changes at the last minute." In short we mean to take business as usual and... trash it. Capiche? If not, I can assure you you'll have an "aha!" moment shortly.
Start from the proposition that no one (now that Bailey and Edwards and all their ilk are gone) is going to organize a day (or even two) in your honor, much less possess the skills to conceive, craft, and consummate it. As my beloved Grammy used to say, "If you want something done right, do it yourself." You know it's true, so don't pine too long over the fact that all the significant others in your life (spouse, children, bowling buddies et al) went missing on this matter... just be glad it's happening at all. And turn up the volume on "Conquest" for we are already behind in getting you just what you've waited for and wanted for, oh, so long.
The " to-do" llst.
* We need a date. And, dear friend, soonest... for if you put this off you will never do it!
* A venue. If you're broke (as millions most assuredly are in our thread-bare days), then it will have to be at your residence. Nothing wrong with that. The oldest of olde English adages is "A man's home is his castle." In these days of gender equality, the same must be said for "a woman's home." Got a few bucks? Then rent a function room at a local hotel. Remember, it's your day; it doesn't happen every day, and you should approach it accordingly.
However, either way, you must have a place you can be proud of... for you can be sure your great event will attract shutter-bugs of every age.
* Enlist some help... your best friend Trudy or Bill will do nicely.
Your best friend already knows your oddities and idiosyncrasies, so this idea won't unhinge them. They'll just chuckle and say, "You, dog, you..." And wishing they'd thought up the idea, give you a hand. You'll need it.
When you're finished with these tasks, get down to business.
* Tackle the guest list. Just who do you want to attend? Remember, these events can range from long overdue soirees with just you and your significant other... to a "Hail to the Chief" event at the White House. It depends on what you well and truly want... and will work for. Either way you'll need a guest list. Make sure to include that Ms. Nastiness of the accounts department. Sure you hate her guts.... but that's the point. Think how envious she'll be when the boss hands you an award and a bushel of compliments. It'll be worth all the snide comments she'll surely make... But, she's making those already.
* About the award. You probably don't know this (it's just one reason why I'm such a valuable member of your support team) but EVERY government body -- local, state, federal -- has a drawer full of them... waiting just for your name and particular achievement to enter. My walls are full of them, and why should yours continue to be empty when it just takes knowing how to arrange matters to give them a very different look... again to the monumental chagrin of Ms. Nastiness.
Have your helper send a note like this to the governor of your state, for instance. It reads so: "I am writing to let you know that one of our state's true treasures -- your name -- is finally being recognized for a lifetime of unsung service. Her many friends are holding a recognition event on (date) and would welcome your attendance, to say a few words and present a certificate. We await your positive answer and thank you for your consideration."
Just how difficult are these citations to get? Well, the day before my brother married a beautiful Oklahoma girl, my mother and I went to the capital building to see what we could see and learn the lore. It dawned on me I'd like to give them a special present at the rehearsal dinner that night. In three hours I had one from the State of Oklahoma, signed by its governor (on a Friday afternoon, mind). "Next time" said his excellency's efficient secretary as she handed it to me, "give us more time", but as my brother and his bride are still happily yoked, I have not had further occasion to heed this advice. But it should be of benefit to you.
Your entry... your apotheosis.
Now it's time to consider what you'll wear, the cunning 'do that'll amplify your thinning locks... the limousine that must transport you and where to get sufficient flower petals that will rain down upon you in an entrance worthy of Norma Desmond. My unerring advice: within the parameters of your budget, do not stint. The objective is to augment your reputation and acknowledge a lifetime of often unknown services, without bankrupting you.
But in one thing you must be truly lavish: the way you look, acknowledge -- and in due course personally thank -- all your guests. And here the ascending music of "Conquest", fit for any sovereign, must be played... for when you hear it, you will be at last what you have for a lifetime desired to be: the apple of every eye, at last "the fairest of them all."
From the moment your chariot arrives (though it may only be a beat-up VW) wave, smile and wave again, the very personification of joy and largesse to all, a monarch indeed, if only for the passing hour. Oh, yes, one more thing: the toast to you. Write it yourself, for only you know what it should say and which of your many merits should be acclaimed. How I shall enjoy saying these things about you knowing how well you deserve them...

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
Author's program note. Rarely if ever have I seen my fellow countrymen so riled up... irritable, angry, rude epithets at the ready, bad behaviors endemic. What's going on? Try these for openers...
A rotten economic situation that just won't get better... and you're afraid it never will. And so you worry (for the umpteenth time) about just how secure your job is. Is there some guy in Mumbai who'll be glad to do it at half what you get? You've raised the subject with your boss... but his answer was not reassuring and now he won't look you in the eye.
A president whose leadership style gives us no leadership... and nary a Republican presidential candidate who doesn't cause multitudes to hold their noses, gagging, and wonder why our mind boggling lengthy and expensive campaign produces candidates we can't stand or respect, much less admire.
Sickening scandals like the one still unfolding at Penn State, scandals that make us wake up in the middle of the night shouting, "What the...... is going on around here?". Sometimes we wonder, and not just once either, whether anyone is honest, decent, and unarmed anymore... or whether it's only suckers (you being one) who play by the rules.
Every day we pick up the newspaper and read about another murder in the neighborhood, our neighborhood. Are our neighbors only "good" because we don't know their secret lives and the home truths that haven't yet been disclosed?
We read about some drug bust at the school down the street... and are horrified to see the police photo and recognize our kid's favorite teacher. We run upstairs and check the closet and dresser drawer to see if this has touched us even closer. You're fortunate today... nothing out of order... but the word "yet" comes immediately to mind... since these days you expect something bad to happen any time now and aren't particularly surprised when it does.
We read about... and are as concerned as our busy lives will allow... another species declared extinct... another Web sex scandal... another political official with a skill for theft and plausible denial. You feel sure he'll get off easy when his time in court comes up. Is that what the bandage over the eyes of the statue of Justice is supposed to mean?
You're concerned about America's unending wars in countries whose names you cannot pronounce, much less find on a map, but which you are paying for. You've got a friend whose young cousin, proud and handsome in his Marine Corps uniform, was killed by a sniper... a boy just 20 years old.
The thought haunts you all day... You want to believe such early death helps the country in question, America, the world... but you don't. You see that boy's eyes and feel them boring into you, asking one question over and over -- "Why?"... and you just can't give a good answer. You feel increasingly helpless as the barrage of bad news, miseries, muddles, mayhem just won't quit. You want time off from it all... but these realities, details delivered to us faster than ever compliments of the Web, constitute the unceasing rhythm of our lives.
And this is only the tip of the iceberg.
We wonder if, after a lifetime of contributing, Social Security will be there when we need it... and whether Medicare will provide the level of service we'll need. A gal from our office had that acute breathing problem and was put on a respirator; the hospital didn't want to pay for it... and the matter now resides in their legal department. We want care... we get lawyers. It makes us very, very nervous.... and sad.
We wonder how some shady Greek and Italian politicians can have so much influence on our lives so far away. What kind of magic powers have they got that force us (however superficially) to pay attention to what they're doing... and doing... and doing, all of which threatens the stability and satisfaction of our lives? You want to say it's "unfair"... but you know no one cares what you think about the matter... and you don't want people to think you're a wimp. So you stay quiet and unsatisfied... it's just the way things are. And so the days pass...
... until the calendar tells you it's Thanksgiving, the official day, sanctioned by custom and dictated by law, you get together with family and friends to eat too much and give thanks for your ability to do so. But this year, you just don't feel like it, though you wouldn't mind a piece or two of pumpkin pie. What's a body to do?
I'll share something that works for me... don't waste your time enumerating all the good things you've got, especially when you realize most of them are flawed and superficial. Instead, focus on the myriad of problems, inconveniences, woeful situations and debilitating malevolence you don't have... bullets you have dodged for another year. This will make you feel really thankful about things that really matter. Here's how it works...
Preparation and The List
This year I attend my 64th Thanksgiving, so I consider myself a man with some experience in the matter. Put this experience to work by putting aside the usual falderals... don't just hold hands and ask little Janie to say the blessing. Janie is probably too young to have much insight into the event... and will be unable to perform her helping role to perfection. Thus the end result will be unutterably banal, like all the years before.
Instead, seize this bull by the horns and brainstorm a long list of things you are thankful you don't have to do, think about, or consider in any way. Be brutally frank.
Item: your boss got fired because of that restroom peccadillo, and you never have to see him again. That was huge!
Item: your estranged cousin Herbie, bete noir of many years, has gone missing, no one knows where. If he never returns, that would be too soon.
Item: Your darling daughter didn't marry the wild idealist who always played the zither and never bathed. Delicious.
Item: your neighbor's noisome pooch Mickey, gifted with a piecing yelp and high decibel duration, ran away in pursuit of amorous freedom. He will of course be missed by someone... but not by you.
Keep going! Don't stint! As you get into the task, you see that the things you don't have, that you were afraid you would have and forever are the very things you always needed to make this holiday sing.
Now type your list. You will never remember them all and since each adds its mite to the happy event, do not rely on memory. Practice, too, reciting them. Read slowly.... with deliberate cadence and gravitas in your voice.
Having recited this list you will feel, perhaps for the first time in months, truly happy for you have discovered for yourself and shown the world the ample bounty of happiness at your fingertips, Thanksgiving now and forever your favorite holiday.

Is there some guy in Mumbai who'll be glad to do it at half what you get? You've raised the subject with your boss... but his answer was not reassuring and now he won't look you in the eye.
A president whose leadership style gives us no leadership... and nary a Republican presidential candidate who doesn't cause multitudes to hold their noses, gagging, and wonder why our mind boggling lengthy and expensive campaign produces candidates we can't stand or respect, much less admire.
Sickening scandals like the one still unfolding at Penn State, scandals that make us wake up in the middle of the night shouting, "What the...... is going on around here?". Sometimes we wonder, and not just once either, whether anyone is honest, decent, and unarmed anymore... or whether it's only suckers (you being one) who play by the rules.
Every day we pick up the newspaper and read about another murder in the neighborhood, our neighborhood. Are our neighbors only "good" because we don't know their secret lives and the home truths that haven't yet been disclosed?
We read about some drug bust at the school down the street... and are horrified to see the police photo and recognize our kid's favorite teacher. We run upstairs and check the closet and dresser drawer to see if this has touched us even closer. You're fortunate today... nothing out of order... but the word "yet" comes immediately to mind... since these days you expect something bad to happen any time now and aren't particularly surprised when it does.
We read about... and are as concerned as our busy lives will allow... another species declared extinct... another Web sex scandal... another political official with a skill for theft and plausible denial. You feel sure he'll get off easy when his time in court comes up. Is that what the bandage over the eyes of the statue of Justice is supposed to mean?
You're concerned about America's unending wars in countries whose names you cannot pronounce, much less find on a map, but which you are paying for. You've got a friend whose young cousin, proud and handsome in his Marine Corps uniform, was killed by a sniper... a boy just 20 years old.
The thought haunts you all day... You want to believe such early death helps the country in question, America, the world... but you don't. You see that boy's eyes and feel them boring into you, asking one question over and over -- "Why?"... and you just can't give a good answer. You feel increasingly helpless as the barrage of bad news, miseries, muddles, mayhem just won't quit. You want time off from it all... but these realities, details delivered to us faster than ever compliments of the Web, constitute the unceasing rhythm of our lives.
And this is only the tip of the iceberg.
We wonder if, after a lifetime of contributing, Social Security will be there when we need it... and whether Medicare will provide the level of service we'll need. A gal from our office had that acute breathing problem and was put on a respirator; the hospital didn't want to pay for it... and the matter now resides in their legal department. We want care... we get lawyers. It makes us very, very nervous.... and sad.
We wonder how some shady Greek and Italian politicians can have so much influence on our lives so far away. What kind of magic powers have they got that force us (however superficially) to pay attention to what they're doing... and doing... and doing, all of which threatens the stability and satisfaction of our lives? You want to say it's "unfair"... but you know no one cares what you think about the matter... and you don't want people to think you're a wimp. So you stay quiet and unsatisfied... it's just the way things are. And so the days pass...
... until the calendar tells you it's Thanksgiving, the official day, sanctioned by custom and dictated by law, you get together with family and friends to eat too much and give thanks for your ability to do so. But this year, you just don't feel like it, though you wouldn't mind a piece or two of pumpkin pie. What's a body to do?
I'll share something that works for me... don't waste your time enumerating all the good things you've got, especially when you realize most of them are flawed and superficial. Instead, focus on the myriad of problems, inconveniences, woeful situations and debilitating malevolence you don't have... bullets you have dodged for another year. This will make you feel really thankful about things that really matter. Here's how it works...
Preparation and The List
This year I attend my 64th Thanksgiving, so I consider myself a man with some experience in the matter. Put this experience to work by putting aside the usual falderals... don't just hold hands and ask little Janie to say the blessing. Janie is probably too young to have much insight into the event... and will be unable to perform her helping role to perfection. Thus the end result will be unutterably banal, like all the years before.
Instead, seize this bull by the horns and brainstorm a long list of things you are thankful you don't have to do, think about, or consider in any way. Be brutally frank.
Item: your boss got fired because of that restroom peccadillo, and you never have to see him again. That was huge!
Item: your estranged cousin Herbie, bete noir of many years, has gone missing, no one knows where. If he never returns, that would be too soon.
Item: Your darling daughter didn't marry the wild idealist who always played the zither and never bathed. Delicious.
Item: your neighbor's noisome pooch Mickey, gifted with a piecing yelp and high decibel duration, ran away in pursuit of amorous freedom. He will of course be missed by someone... but not by you.
Keep going! Don't stint! As you get into the task, you see that the things you don't have, that you were afraid you would have and forever are the very things you always needed to make this holiday sing.
Now type your list. You will never remember them all and since each adds its mite to the happy event, do not rely on memory. Practice, too, reciting them. Read slowly.... with deliberate cadence and gravitas in your voice.
Having recited this list you will feel, perhaps for the first time in months, truly happy for you have discovered for yourself and shown the world the ample bounty of happiness at your fingertips, Thanksgiving now and forever your favorite holiday.

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
Author's program note. From time to time, I dip into my collection of significant artifacts, pictures, silver, furniture, rugs, signed photographs and more, to tell you the tale of a particular artifact; to show you how even the least significant and most mundane is a superb aperture into a world once vibrant, now defunct and dispersed.
Today it is my privilege, as Prince of Tornavan, to bring you as part of my official party to the grandest fete in Paris in the fall of 1813, the dinner party and soiree in honor of the ascendant ambassador of the brand new Austrian empire, Klemens von Metternich. Today's party is being held in honor of his elevation to Prince, henceforward this is his title and style: Klemens Wenzel Nepomuk Lothar, Furst von Winneburg zu Beilstein. His friends, who are legion, call him Prince Metternich. Since you are destined to be one of them do take note.
The background, politics and statecraft played by the best, the stakes enormous.
Klemens von Metternich (1773-1859), sprig of the Austrian aristocracy, was a very clever man. When he was just 16, in 1789, the world of his forefathers collapsed as the French nation and its various revolutionary manifestations challenged and rearranged absolutely everything that Metternich knew, believed in, and desired.
He was a man with a mission... and that mission was to contain the revolutionary bacillus that was France. You will never understand the man or what he did unless you understand that. It was the theme of a long life filled with the polished deceptions, lies, half truths, distortions and occasional (but only occasional) home truths that characterized diplomacy at the Courts of Europe, seething with activity from the moment Parisian malcontents captured the Bastille, chopped off the head of its hapless governor, M. le marquis de Launay, and paraded it on a pike through the streets of Paris, epicenter of everything that was happening and would happen until Metternich and his ideas got in the saddle. But that was years from the pool of blood and severed head that had once been Austrian princess Marie Antoinette.The revolutionaries meant business... but so did Metternich.
And now this newly minted Prince was Ambassador to the Evil Empire that was France... and there he had much to do, most importantly dangling the bait that sent Archduchess Marie Louise of Austria to France as Napoleon's second (and infinitely less lovable) wife. It was one of Metternich's greatest triumphs in a life of so many achievements. Here's why...
Napoleon needed an heir. And he wanted, indeed insisted, on a wife of royal pedigree. He wanted an alliance with Russia and wanted to cement it by marrying the Tsar's younger sister, a notion which horrified her mother who blocked the marriage. Cunningly Metternich turned the discussion to Marie Louise who had been brought up to regard Napoleon (who did, after all, capture the Austrian capital often enough, dislocating the imperial family) as a monster.
What matter that, when the object was gaining time to rebuild Austria's much beaten army and ramshackle finances, to be ready for the final confrontation with son-in-law Napoleon? To sacrifice an Austrian princess to save Austria's empire and dynasty made perfect sense. What did not make sense was that Napoleon thought "Papa Francis," Emperor Francis I, Marie Louise's father, would never attack his own son-in-law (and ultimately, with the birth of Napoleon's son, the King of Rome in 1811) his own grandson. How little Napoleon knew of the wiles of the Habsburgs who were past masters in always smooth deceptions.
Rue d'Austerlitz
Metternich wove his webs from the embassy of his sovereign Francis I, whom he always called (with calculated insolence) his "Master." He didn't believe it and Papa Francis probably didn't either. They both knew who really ruled. This embassy was situated on the Rue d'Austerlitz, which shows that Metternich could turn a blind eye to what he chose not to see. So it was with the street name. It celebrated one of the greatest defeats of the Habsburgs. Napoleon was clueless in such matters; the Austrians were not. They held their rage until they could properly rectify the matter.
And that was why you were on your way in your dashing carriage to a street so outrageously misnamed. You were nervous, of course, but thanks to Tornavan's precise instructions you looked terrific... and, more importantly you had been briefed on what to do and (as vital) what not to do. If tonight went well....
The embassy was spectacular, not least for the staircase you ascended. Marble, highly polished (and therefore tricky), cuirassiers in full kit with resplendent panache every three feet. You looked out the corner of your eye at your wife, never more alluring than in her mauve silk and the diamonds she'd borrowed from a friend. All was going well.
Then, there, at the top of the staircase the new Prince and the first of his three wives, Eleonore von Kaunitz; "charme de vous voir," they heard the Princess say over and over again. She'd come from one of Austria's best families, rich too, and she knew precisely what to do. You were worried she would give you only one finger in greeting, but you were ecstatic when she gave you two while the new Prince graced you with a smile that could mean everything... or nothing. It was a diplomat's skill and enigma. Still the warm greeting they gave to His Highness of Tornavan was surely authentic...
Then you were directed by chamberlains, always jeunesse dore, to the dining room... graced by a full length portrait of the Emperor... with additional family portraits... the Empress of Austria Maria Ludovica; her daughter Marie Louise Empress of the French, her husband Napoleon, and their son the King of Rome.
Everything sparkled including the brand-new silver service given by Metternich's Master, the Kaiser, to celebrate the new Prince. It was nothing short of spectacular, service so you'd been told for 100, the elegant work of the French imperial silver smith Jean-Baptiste-Claude Odiot, a man whose special talent was turning mere metal into smooth elegance, admired by every eye, caressing to the touch. It seemed a sacrilege to eat from them... so dazzling, polished to perfection.
The Loyal Toast
Then it was time for the toasts.... and this,too, was an art form.
Metternich, epicene connoisseur, was on his feet delivering the Loyal Toast, to his "Master" Papa Francis, the essence of the principle of legitimacy, the principle affronted by Napoleon's mere existence. And so the Loyal Toast this evening focused on the virtues of monarchy, the need for stability, the benefits of continuity, everything Papa Francis had... and which Napoleon so conspicuously lacked. And as glasses were raised towards the imperial picture the orchestra broke into the grandiose chords of the Imperial Hymn... written by Haydn in 1797, "Gott erhalte Franz, den Kaiser." You'll find it in any search engine. It is regal indeed.
Then powdered flunkies having refilled every glass, it was time for the toast to their host, the new Prince. And here, by pre-arrangement, Herr Baron von und zu Joachim Peter, so obviously a favorite, launched into words so apt, so discerning, so obviously auspicious that all present predicted the greatest success for a man they now all resolved to invite to dinner at the earliest occasion, sad only that Odiot himself had promised Metternich that the pattern of his service would not be copied for anyone, no matter how exalted.
Envoy.
Thirty silver plates from this service now reside with me, your author. They are lovely, and a superb reminder of the Prince, his sovereign, and the high stakes game they played and won for the destruction of Napoleonic France and the comfortable arrangement of the Europe they treasured and controlled. After the final fall of Napoleon in 1815, Metternich went back to Vienna where he ran the iconic Congress of Vienna, then, as Austrian Foreign Minister and State Chancellor ran Europe until he was deposed and exiled as a result of the Revolution of 1848.
It is reasonable to suppose that the silver service commissioned in Paris served him as well in Vienna, capital of the empire he had strengthened and preserved. Your author now has the largest portion of these eye-catching morsels of history and is assiduously seeking the rest....

Lawrence: 1% TAX - This will be added to ALL bank transactio...
Lawrence: 1% TAX - This will be added to ALL bank transactio...: Have you seen this one yet??? Subject: 1% tax on all bank transactions HR4646 Watch for this AFTER November elections; remember this BEFORE...
1% TAX - This will be added to ALL bank transactions- Dems proposing it]
Have you seen this one yet???
Subject: 1% tax on all bank transactions HR4646
Watch for this AFTER November elections; remember
this BEFORE you VOTE in case you think Obama's
looking out for your best interest.
1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646
This government just cannot think of enough ways
to hurt the American people!This Bill must die FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!
&nbs p; 1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646 - ANOTHER
NEW OBAMA TAX SLIPPED IN WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP.
Checked this on snopes, it's true! Check out HR
4646. (see below copied from Snopes)
President Obama's finance team is recommending a
one percent (1%) transaction fee (TAX). Obama's
plan is to sneak it in after the November
elections to keep it under the radar.
This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any
financial institution - banks, credit unions,
savings and loans, etc. Any deposit you make, or
even a transfer within your account, will have a
1% tax charged.
~If your paycheck or your social security or
whatever is direct deposit, it will get a 1% tax
charged for the transaction.
~If your paycheck is $1000, then you will pay
Obama $10 just for the privilege of depositing
your paycheck in your bank. Even if you hand carry
your paycheck or any check into your bank for a
deposit, 1% tax will be charged.
~You receive a $5,000 stock dividend from your
broker, Obama takes $50 just to allow you to
deposit that check in the bank.
~If you take $1,000 cash to deposit at your bank,
1% tax will be charged.
Mind you, this is from the man who promised that,
if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not
see on e penny of new tax. Keep your eyes and ears
open, you will be amazed at what you learn about
this guy's under-the-table moves to increase the
number of ways you are taxed.
~Oh, and by the way, you receive a refund from
the IRS next year and you have it direct
deposited or you walk in to deposit that check,
you guessed it. You will pay a 1% charge of that
money just for putting it in your bank. Remember,
any money, cash, check or whatever, no matter
where it came from, you will pay a 1% fee if you
put it in the bank.
Some will say, oh well, it's just 1%. Are you
kidding me? It's a 1% tax increase across the
board. Remember, once the tax is there, they can
also raise it at will. And if anyone
&n bsp; protests, they will just say, "oh,that's not
really a tax, it's a user fee"! Think this is no
big deal? Go back and look at the transactions you
made from last year's banking statements. Then add
the total of all those transactions and deduct 1%.
Still think it's no big deal???
Is the U.S. government proposing a 1% tax on debit card usage and/or

Subject: 1% tax on all bank transactions HR4646
Watch for this AFTER November elections; remember
this BEFORE you VOTE in case you think Obama's
looking out for your best interest.
1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646
This government just cannot think of enough ways
to hurt the American people!This Bill must die FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!
&nbs p; 1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646 - ANOTHER
NEW OBAMA TAX SLIPPED IN WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP.
Checked this on snopes, it's true! Check out HR
4646. (see below copied from Snopes)
President Obama's finance team is recommending a
one percent (1%) transaction fee (TAX). Obama's
plan is to sneak it in after the November
elections to keep it under the radar.
This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any
financial institution - banks, credit unions,
savings and loans, etc. Any deposit you make, or
even a transfer within your account, will have a
1% tax charged.
~If your paycheck or your social security or
whatever is direct deposit, it will get a 1% tax
charged for the transaction.
~If your paycheck is $1000, then you will pay
Obama $10 just for the privilege of depositing
your paycheck in your bank. Even if you hand carry
your paycheck or any check into your bank for a
deposit, 1% tax will be charged.
~You receive a $5,000 stock dividend from your
broker, Obama takes $50 just to allow you to
deposit that check in the bank.
~If you take $1,000 cash to deposit at your bank,
1% tax will be charged.
Mind you, this is from the man who promised that,
if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not
see on e penny of new tax. Keep your eyes and ears
open, you will be amazed at what you learn about
this guy's under-the-table moves to increase the
number of ways you are taxed.
~Oh, and by the way, you receive a refund from
the IRS next year and you have it direct
deposited or you walk in to deposit that check,
you guessed it. You will pay a 1% charge of that
money just for putting it in your bank. Remember,
any money, cash, check or whatever, no matter
where it came from, you will pay a 1% fee if you
put it in the bank.
Some will say, oh well, it's just 1%. Are you
kidding me? It's a 1% tax increase across the
board. Remember, once the tax is there, they can
also raise it at will. And if anyone
&n bsp; protests, they will just say, "oh,that's not
really a tax, it's a user fee"! Think this is no
big deal? Go back and look at the transactions you
made from last year's banking statements. Then add
the total of all those transactions and deduct 1%.
Still think it's no big deal???
Is the U.S. government proposing a 1% tax on debit card usage and/or
banking transactions?
...It is true. The bill is HR-4646 introduced by US Rep Peter

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
Author's program note. Today is Saturday, November 12, 2011. And Americans with well-worn pennants and blissful memories of picture perfect days like this when they were young and gleeful will today gather at gridirons around the nation... there to participate in the great rite of football. If they are lucky, alma mater will have a fight song as great as the one that ignites the crowd at Penn State... which causes even the most ancient and arthritic to jump up... and remember. when they were young, boundless in their hopes and expectations; loyal to God, country, college, and... the team.
We all know that feeling and we just cannot get enough of it. Thus, to put yourself in the mood, go to any search engine and find that fight song -- "The Nittany Lion" -- one of the best -- then turn the sound up and play it... "But of all the honored idols. There's but one that stands the test. It's the stately Nittany Lion. The symbol of our best..."
Joe Paterno, the winningest coach in the history of the Great Republic.
Until just a few days ago when the shocking, sordid facts of the scandal broke upon a first disbelieving nation, Joe Paterno, head coach at fortunate Penn State, was moving towards the end of his career wafted by the incense of millions of people around the nation... who venerated the man, his vision, what he stood for, and not least of all the golden touch that turned Penn State from a mere college town, to a site of pilgrimage for the faithful. It was heady stuff, as close to perfection as mortals ever know. All that was needed to complete the scene was the explosion of affection at his last home game... and a trip to the White House to receive the nation's highest honor, the Medal of Freedom, from the hands of the President of the United States, an event eagerly promoted by Pennsylvania's two United States senators, star struck like all the rest. A great American story was about to be concluded to the satisfaction of all.
But as any student of classics could tell you, this isn't how Fate works... as JoePa knew, for he was an unlikely student of the Roman poet Virgil and the "Aeneid" he read often in the original Latin. JoePa knew Nemesis, the goddess of retributive justice. And it was Nemesis who came to preside over his final sickening days at Penn State... which he left as pariah, not patriarch. And so a dazzling 46-year career came to an end with breath taking speed, obloquy, disgust, contempt, anger... and sadness.
What had happened, what had gone so terribly wrong? Here are the facts:
On November 5, 2011, former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was arrested on 40 counts relating to sexual abuse of eight young boys over a 15-year period, including alleged incidents that occurred at Penn State. A 2011 grand jury investigation reported that Mike McQueary, a graduate assistant, told Paterno in 2002 that he had seen Sandusky performing a sex act on a 10-year-old boy in Penn State's shower facilities. According to the report, Paterno notified Athletic Director Tim Curley the next day about the incident.
Here's where JoePa's storied career begins to unravel, for it is here that he decided to act for the good of his team, his "program", not the good of the victims and of the institution which hired him and provided every element for a supremely comfortable life.
Yes, this is the damning fact: Joseph Paterno knew... Joseph Paterno, fearful that his beloved program would be besmirched, decided to wink at the problem, hoping it would go away, rather than take the necessary action... which meant staying with it until it was well and truly solved.
JoePa had the responsibility to act... the need to act... the moral imperative to act... but he did next to nothing, thus showing clearly that here was a man who could prattle of leadership, of responsibility, of honor... but they were nothing but self-serving words... that when these traits were needed, JoePa had none of them.
And neither did anyone else at Penn State, where "honor" was a word in a rousing song... not the foundation for an institution of higher learning, humanity, and right.
The scandal is not that reprehensible acts were committed on the bodies of young boy who, all unknowing, maddened Sandusky and caused him to take terrible risks and do terrible deeds. That is not the scandal... that is a tragedy, frequent enough, a tragedy that everyone at Penn State, or wherever it occurs, can deal with, promptly and relatively easily IF the will and desire to deal with it be present.
The scandal is that Paterno, and the entire establishment at Penn State who knew the facts (and there were many such) chose not to act, thereby degrading themselves and their offices of honor, thereby giving the students, their charges, the worst possible example. And this lead to one of the most alarming incidents in the matter: the riot of Penn State students November 10 when they heard the news that Paterno had been removed by the Trustees of the university, they took to the street, not to remember and support the victims, but to support... JoePa. In short, they came down firmly, resolutely and violently on the wrong side, the side where there was no honor and no humanity. And these some of the brightest students in the land, the most privileged, the most likely to succeed. Their choice, their actions, their lack of vision were telling. How had a great institution fallen so low that its students could be so wrong in their selection?
Winning is not everything, and never was.
The cause of this great problem has been obvious for years to all who had eyes to see. The administrators of great educational institutions, the pride of a great nation, have allowed their progressive, humane principles to be insulted, demeaned, devalued. Once the greatest and most significant parts of these institutions, the liberal arts have been steadily slashed by the people who made JoePa a god, people who made winning, merely a thing, into everything, the thing that humbles all else.
But this is wrong and has always been wrong.
Teaching students to be good citizens is more valuable than winning games, no matter that they are won in profusion and record number.
Teaching students about the values and responsibilities of the well lived life is more important than wearing some token of a victory that they did nothing to help achieve.
Working to transform a distressed planet in a myriad of ways, this is far more important -- and necessary -- than supporting, in any way, a squad of those manifesting every kind of anti-social behavior.
And no one exceeded Paterno in finding such people and using them for his ends.
And so Paterno allowed Sandusky, despite his detailed knowledge of this man and his mayhem, to keep a college title, an office and easy access to his prey, despite his 1999 dismissal. It was, he thought, good for his "program," his team, his power and control. So, too, the fact that from 2002-2008 46 of his players were arrested and charged with 163 counts; 27 of t hem were eventually convicted or pleaded guilty to a combined 45 counts.
Through all this the Nittany Lion was diminished, its shibboleths hollow, in the hands of the unworthy, majestic no longer. Now, therefore, must Penn State, bolstered by courageous and energetic leaders seize this opportunity to restructure itself, to become in fact, not merely in name, a great institution of humane values. This is your moment, people of Penn State and all others similarly situated. Seize it. For you who have lost your soul and direction, must take this opportunity to find them. "Fight for her honor, Fight, and Victory again."
