Katrina Survivors and Taxes

I have watched several documentaries on Kartrina and theexisting devastation of the New Orleans area. It seems themajor corporate entities such as the Superdome in New Orleansand the Gambling Casinos in Mississippi have been restoredquickly and are functioning.
The areas other than the corporate wealthy areas are stillblighted, full of piles of trash, and vacant. Insurers arefinding excuses for not paying to rebuild houses and the government keeps saying it plans to fund the rebuilding ofthe gulf coast homes, but have not.

If I am not mistaken, didn't all of those homeowners and mostof the apartment dwellers work and pay state and federal taxes? Doesn't that mean they deserve to have some of that tax money available to fix some of that devastation? Does this mean thatwhen there are natural disasters in other parts of the country people will NOT be treated as tax paying citizens of their own country--the United States, but instead like refugees with no rights?

Seeing all of those documentaries on the anniversary gave littlehope to the future of natural disaster plans in this country. A documentary by Discovery Times interviewed many of the professionalswho were present during and after the floods, who contradicted many of the negative media reports that were put on the air about Katrina victims. Were these false reports put on the air to brainwash us against the Katrina victims?

In my opinion all of this demonstrates that although we pay large amounts of state and federal taxes, the government may not be there for you if a natural disaster happens, therefore you MUST get all of your ducks in order now. Save money, keep a credit card with no balance, have an evacuation plan, have provisions, and leave when you are told. That was difficult for the poorest people who did not have money saved or credit cards, but they can tryby contacting family members out of town or finding an inexpensive hotel on higher ground outside town or asking their church for help.

Write your congressman and senator for more clear cut evacuation bills so everyone can be helped when a disaster strikes.

Dear College Parents,

Your kids are off to college, but that does not mean they are off your radar screen. Please advise them on keeping a reasonable budget and avoiding as much debt as possible. Tell them that they will be offered college credit cards but they do not have to accept them. As a matter of fact, it is best NOT to accept them. Let them know that it is best to buy necessary items from money made as income, not as money given as a future debt payment. Also tell them, "yes, college is expensive, but we must put a cap on college spending. Live as tight as possible, borrow as little as possible.

The Where Abouts Of Key Lay Of Enron

I can still see the sad pictures of the hundreds of Enron employees weeping as they left the
Enron building for the last time, with empty retirement accounts in tow. They have been patiently waiting for the last Enron verdict on the most powerful culprit who steered the biggest stock scandal in history. Unfortunately that patience has proven to be in vain. It has been said that Ken Lay, the Chairman and CEO has passed away and with him much of the hope to regain the retirement money employees lost in the debacle.

Do you believe Key Lay is really dead? I for one am very suspicious. My suspicion was aroused when, 1. The coroner came on national television to convince everyone that, "Yes, it really happened, the poor guy has passed"(paraphrased). 2. When the announcement was made that the x-Enron employees may not see financial vindication.

First of all, how often does the coroner come on national tv to convince us that someone has died. I can't recall the last time. Second of all, his death should have nothing to do with the chances the employees should or should not be reimbursed for lost retirement money. This all indicates to me that Ken Lay is more likely sipping martini's on an isolated and luscious island in the middle of the pacific, than lying 6 feet under. What is your opinion?

Get savvy with your money----diversify your investments, especially your retirement account.

Warren Buffet And His Generous Gift To Bill Gates Charity

Warren Buffet is leaving billions, almost $40 billion dollars to Bill and Melinda Gates charity. Do you think he did it out of the kindness of his heart or for tax reasons? I would tend to think it was mainly for tax reasons, after all the inheritance tax on $40 billion dollars must be outrageous, if so that would make the united states government the benefactor instead of charity, so... faced with the choice, I would give the money to charity.

When I see what the government in the united states does with large sums of money it makes me shiver. Warren Buffet is an honerable man and he still left all of his kids rich. I think he said they will still get about a billion dollars each, wow! Not bad for not lifting a finger.

In The United States Minimum Wage Earners Are Getting Poorer

U.S. inflation is scheduled to increase in the future, it has always increased in the past, and is currently rising. Who cares, it mainly effects poor people who live off minimum wage. That is a sad commentary on a wealthy country such as the United States. Who can live off $5.15 an hour in the U.S. The senate just voted to NOT increase this pathetic minimum wage, so poor people will keep getting poorer, the trap they are in will be tougher to get out of. Pray for minimum wage earners in the U.S. that our government will someday have compassion.

Now You Can Get Pills For Your Gas Tank

Not really! What is really happening is that the state of Texas has just pulled the plug on
a multilevel marketing organization, commonly known as a pyrmid scam. They were selling
pills they claim to extend your gas milage. The state attorney generals office in Texas just
got a temporary injuction against them and they are freezing their assets. Many experts
testified that the so-called "gas pills" do nothing to extend your gas milage in your car.

7 Year Old Children With Credit Cards

It's not enough that adults are filing for bankruptcy in record numbers, living on the edge financially, and stuck in debtors hell. Now we have adults trying to enlist their children as young as 7 years old to get credit cards. I would like to think it was a joke, but it was in print, black and white, on the internet. A women asking a financial writer if she could get her 7-year old child a credit card, so he could start to establish credit.

What a hoot! Everyone knows that kids under 18 can't sign legal documents. But, I was even more shocked with the answer the writer gave her. He explained to her that the child could not sign a legal document, what surprised me was that he seemed to think it was ok to start teaching a young child the bad habit of credit and debt at such a young age. I expected him to be irate, but he wasn't. He actually told her how she could include her child as a signer on the card. A seven year old, signing for credit??

Maybe it was a plant article from the debt industry, but I was sure sad when he didn't tell her that the child has plenty of time to get credit when he or she is of age and the focus now should be on teaching budgeting and good spending habits. I hope someone gives her this information soon.

Credit Counselors and the IRS

In the past few years a lot of folks have complained about so-called credit counselors who don’t get them out of debt and charge them a lot of money. They pay a fee to get counseling and receive nothing in return.

Well, it turns out one reason these companies increased exponentially is because they were given tax-exempt status for claiming to be credit counselors.

The IRS commissioner is focusing on dishonest credit or debt counselors, 41 debt counselors have lost their tax-exempt status of the 61 they recently audited. These organizations exist mainly to prey on debt heavy individuals by charging them excessive fees for little or no service.

10 Commandments of Saving Money

Commandment #1 Thou shall open up a savings account and make regular contributions. This is the first step toward developing good saving habits. Putting money in a mattress or your car is not safe or practical.

Commandment #2 Thou shall take advantage of your 401K plan or other company plan at least to the match amount. Usually a company will give you 50 cents on the dollar up to 4 percent. This is free money and depending on the company vesting schedule this money goes with you if and when you leave. This is also a great way to help manage your taxes because the money taken from your income pretax and lowers the amount of money you pay taxes on.
