i think people who vote/get all hyped up on candidates are fools. i've seen enough speeches and talk over the poast 20 years to know its bullshyt, all of it. as long as we're connected to this fictional money system they contend is real, we'll never get up

Someone who gets it.

When "they" knew JFK tried to end the federal reserve and started issuing real money that was the straw.

Of course I'm not expecting the sheep to care. "WHOO GO OBAMA!!" :pachaha:

I have two words: Federal Taxes. If you don't care about any other issue, you should at least vote for the one who wants to tax you the least. That shyt affects most people with a job...especially if you don't have any children.

It's sad to see Blacks so apathetic to voting and the political process. I think it stems partly from ignorance but also from fatalism. Hispanics are poised to surpass you economically and politically..... if they haven't done so already.

Voting in the federal election is not the end all, be all of political process. If your not going to vote in that...at least vote and be active in local politics.

But, I can't see someone who is too lazy or cynical to vote in the federal election to actually get involved in politics on the state or municipal levels.

HOLLYWOOD IS CURIOUS ABOUT THIS, BROTHER! WHAT IS YOUR EVIDENCE THAT JFK WANTED TO END THE FED? FDR INITIATED MASSIVE PROGRESSIVE ECONOMIC REFORMS AND NOBODY POPPED AT HIM, BROTHER!

possibly because it was war-time, though one could argue that was the best time to do it, if they were going to set it up. that was probably the debate.

Presidential Executive Order 11,110

President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 and the United States Notes he had issued were immediately taken out of circulation. Federal Reserve Notes continued to serve as the legal currency of the nation. According to the United States Secret Service, 99% of all U.S. paper "currency" circulating in 1999 are Federal Reserve Notes.

Kennedy knew that if the silver-backed United States Notes were widely circulated, they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve Notes. This is a very simple matter of economics. The USN was backed by silver and the FRN was not backed by anything of intrinsic value.

they stopped issuing the notes five months after his assassination :leostare:

When is Obama gonna speak on the tragic death of Lil Jo Jo?


they from the same city brah


:dwillhuh:



Oh I forgot, he don't give a fuk bout yal nikkas




:sad:

How is this a valid criticism against Obama? If it's his job to speak out about these type of issues then what are local politicians for?

That's why ALL elections are important and even more so YOU'RE VOICE IS IMPORTANT.

You, the citizen start the change reaction to get action started.

Citizen let the mayor/city council know these problems need to be addressed.

The mayor puts pressure on the Governor and congressman, they demand action from Washington.

I have two words: FIederal Taxes. If you don't care about any other issue, you should at least vote for the one who wants to tax you the least. That shyt affects most people with a job...especially if you don't have any children.

Tax people the least affect most people with jobs negatively? :snoop:


How does this make sense when the investment of tax dollars are the primary source of job creation in this country?

The problem with TOM's stance on not voting is that it conviently ignores all the stuff that presidents do that do affect your life.

I'm not posting my tax returns if that's what you're asking.

Federal income tax is only 1 of about 40 different taxes that we pay my man. If your overall taxes have gone down then good for you. I wish I could say the same. :yeshrug:

Let's be reality, your taxes are going to go up anyway, we gotta start paying back the money we borrowed somehow.

But either way, it shows how much of these so called Higher Learning nikkas know about the system. If you want to see political activism done right, we need to see the Latino community, these folks have damn near made the same amount of progress in 15 years that Blacks have made in the past 30 plus. They are not only politically active but they vote at every level, you have politicians on both sides begging for their vote.

What taxes have went up?

You stated that you are not voting for Prez because your taxes are going to go up regardless ( that statement demonize taxes which in itself is ignorant, but that's another story).

Tax rates rates have not changed since the year 2000, when that change occurred they actually went down.

Americans paid the lowest tax rates in 30 years to the federal government in 2009, in part because of tax cuts President Obama sought to combat the Great Recession, congressional budget analysts said Tuesday. [...]
During Obama’s first year in office, the average tax rate paid by all households fell to 17.4 percent, down from 19.9 percent in 2007, according to the CBO. The 2009 rate was significantly lower than the previous low of 19.4 percent in 2003 and well below the 30-year average of 21 percent.

So you are the only person in America saw an increase in Taxes :dwillhuh:
