Politicians More Like the Mob Than You Think: Peter Schweizer

“Schweizer calls these donations ‘protection money,’ like money that businesses pay the Mob so they can stay in business. A popular form is known as ‘milker bills’–legislation introduced by members of Congress for the purpose of extracting money from businesses. The congressional sponsors ‘don’t care whether [these bills] become law or not; their purpose is to extract donations and favors from businesses.’ Referring to the Democrats and Republicans, he says, ‘[You] think these guys in the ring really hate each other but after you watch it for a while you realize that they’re in business together and that there is money to be made by hyping the sense of conflict.'”

$5.25 Million For Senate Hair Care; Politicians Living The High Life

“Even as they claim that things are so tough right now, our politicians continue to live the high life at the expense of U.S. taxpayers.  The statistics that I am about to share with you are very disturbing.  Please share them with everyone that you know.  The American people deserve the truth.  According to the Weekly Standard, an absolutely insane amount of money is being spent on the ‘hair care needs’ of U.S. Senators. Keep in mind that there are only 100 U.S. Senators, and many of them don’t have much hair left at this point. But hair care is just the tip of the iceberg.  The following are 21 other ways that our politicians are living the high life at your expense.”

Separatists chant ‘Death to Belgium’ at country’s new royal couple

“Though several hundred people lined up to greet Philippe, who ascended to the throne in July after his father’s abdication, an equally big crowd of republican separatists massed nearby shouting ‘Death to Belgium’ and waving the Flemish flag.  Antwerp, Europe’s second biggest port located in the northern region of Flanders, is home to the powerful Flemish separatist N-VA party whose leader Bart De Wever won election as city mayor last year.  Philippe and Mathilde are currently visiting Belgium under a medieval tradition that calls for new sovereigns to make ‘a joyous entry’ into the country’s major towns, and Friday’s protest was the first of its kind so far.”

Will Congress heed the warning on their Obamacare exemptions?

“The poll data is clear and cuts across party lines: 92 percent of the public does not think it is right that Congress and their staff are letting the Obama administration exempt them from the costs of Obamacare. Yet it seems many in Congress still want to dismiss these findings in hopes that these sentiments won’t translate into actual voter preferences.  Incumbents facing reelections shouldn’t fool themselves. A recent real-world deployment of the issue shows it can powerfully impact candidates’ prospects.”

Obama’s more than 19.5 million online fans who don’t really exist

“Of the president’s 36.9 million Twitter followers, an astonishing 53 per cent – or 19.5 million – are fake accounts, according to a search engine at the Internet research vendor StatusPeople.com.

Washington Sees Incomes Soar as Most of U.S. Declines

“American incomes have tumbled over the last decade. But for many people in Washington, D.C., it’s been something of a party.  The income of the typical D.C. household rose 23.3% between 2000 and 2012 to an inflation-adjusted $66,583, according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. During this period, median household incomes for the nation as a whole dropped 6.6% — from $55,030 to $51,371.
The Washington, D.C. metro area — which includes the surrounding suburbs in Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia — has it even better, with a median household income of $88,233 that ranks highest among the U.S.’s 25 most populous metro areas.”

Dutch King tells citizens ‘to take responsibility’ as austerity implemented

“The king, who travelled through the streets of The Hague to address MPs and senators in an ornate horse-drawn golden carriage, said the transformation would be particularly noticeable in social security and long-term healthcare policies.  The trade-dependent Dutch economy is in the fourth quarter of a recession and is struggling even as other European countries return to growth.  The austerity measures will reduce Dutch households’ purchasing power by 0.25 percent in 2014. The budget announcement came with the government in free-fall in opinion polls. A poll said that the ruling Liberal-Labour coalition would lose around half its seats in parliament were elections held now.”

What it costs to raise a royal baby

“How much does it cost to live like a prince these days?  William earns £35,000 ($54,000) or so as a helicopter air-sea rescue pilot for the Royal Air Force.  More importantly, he is also supported by his father, Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, who has an annual income of about £19 million ($29 million), essentially real-estate income from the 133,000-acre Duchy of Cornwall estate.  William and Harry also jointly inherited around £17 million ($26 million), before tax, from their mother’s estate.  But for all American rubberneckers, here’s some good news. You could probably live like a prince for a lot less than that. Here’s where you’ll spend your money.”

Centralization and Sociopathology

CHS9a1

“Centralization is tailor-made for sociopaths gaining power. Sociopaths seek power over others, and centralization gives them the perfect avenue to control over millions or even entire nations.  Even worse (from the view of non-sociopaths), their perverse abilities are tailor-made for excelling in office and national politics via ruthless elimination of rivals and enemies and grandiose appeals to national greatness, ideological purity, etc.  As C.D. points out, the ultimate protection against sociopathology is to minimize the power held in any one agency, organization or institution.”
