Auditory dyslexia involves difficulty with sounds of letters or collections of letters as need to create a word sound; the sounds become chaotic, not heard correctly.

For Confiscatory Socialization To Work It Has To Have A Bogeyman

by Pietro Savo

Father’s Day started with many colorful cards from my six children, and a relaxed morning quietly reading old issues of the Wall Street Journal neatly stacked up on my office floor. The Wall Street Journal is a good publication for understanding the unfiltered reality, no matter how old the newspaper is, for that reason they don’t enter the recycling bin until thoroughly scanned over. Small-business employment accounts for about 80% of the jobs in the United States, and what has created such a death grip on our economy is the weakness in small-business employment. (Source: Wall Street Journal, Apr 3, 2009)

Small-businesses searching for hope often turn to the Small Business Administration (SBA) website, and there you will find talk of Economic Stimulus Package and the bottom-line small business tax cuts. (Source: U.S. Small Business Administration Website) Here is the problem, if you don’t have any work what good is tax cuts? Small-business job productivity trickles down from large corporations, and today labeled the most productive citizens and strategically called the rich. The rich in a confiscatory socialization mind-set represents the bogeyman. Here is the problem those of us in the middle and lower class will be the ones who suffer from a reduction in jobs caused by higher taxes on large corporations. Resulting in higher prices for almost all durable goods and for anything produced and less money to invest in the trickled down effect for small business job creation. (Source: Wall Street Journal, Apr 4, 2009)

For confiscatory socialization to work it has to have a bogeyman, and when that bogeyman becomes totally consumed. Perhaps the next bogeyman is the middle or lower class? Not to worry we will be suffering from the confiscatory socialization strategy long before that happens, perhaps we already are?

Credit Card Industry Friend or Foe, You Decide!

by Pietro Savo

Credit card industry and drug dealers have a great deal in common, the business models are similar. Strategically targeting young people in college, credit card industry throws many risky credit card applications into student’s mailboxes. Think about this, how can a student afford any credit at all, and turn down what appears as free money? The enticement, the hook is easy, young inexperienced and unprepared to combat predatory lenders. 76 percent of undergraduates have credit cards, and the average undergrad has $2,200 in credit card debt. Having no means to pay off what you borrow begins a lifetime of indentured servitude. Never-ending, simply paying the minimum payment, pure interest, a predatory lenders delight. Real moneymakers for the credit card industry, they make back their money many-times over. The average outstanding credit card debt for households was $10,679 at the end of 2008. (Source: Nilson Report, April 2009)

The credit card industry in the United States with annual earnings in the $30 billion range is the most profitable industry. This industry started to become profitable as a result of deregulation, then the Supreme Court decision in the Smiley v. Citibank case lifted fees on what credit card banks could charge, and fees went from a modest $5 to $10 to today’s $29 to $39 fee for paying late or simply going over your credit limit. Credit card banks also use specific marketing tactics to increase their profits. The first is zero percent introductory interest rate offers, when this period ends the interest rate increases to 17 or 19% overnight. The second tactic used is to require a minimum monthly payment of only 2% to encourage cardholders to endlessly carry a balance so they can rake in more interest profit. (Source: Wall Street Journal, Apr 13, 2009)

There are those who can pay-off their cards every month. However, the credit card industry is banking on you not doing so. The credit card industry today a guaranteed moneymaking business model, they are banking on most of the credit cardholders not paying off their balance every month. Interest rates from 5% to 29%, anyone’s guess, the credit card industry forced organized crime’s moneylenders out of business; it is difficult to compete in a market legitimized by the government. That explains why credit card company profits are so high and their executives receive some of the largest salaries and bonuses in the corporate world. (Source: Wall Street Journal, Apr 13, 2009)

So what is the pay-off for credit card consumers, no pay-off exist; the only guarantee is a lifetime of paying back on a never-ending credit card balance? Since the United States Senate and United States Congress let this happen. Simply follow the lobbyists and the large sums of political donations directly to Washington politicians, the solution then becomes obvious, we need term limits for anyone in political office!
