Why are people deliberately getting this wrong..??

I have not said Crystal Jewell is literally a nazi. I believe she is Jewish and English. The nazi symbols I put on that note were meant to symbolize her "nazi-like" mentality where she scapegoats others like myself and perpetrates hate crimes...like against me ! This note on paper was made much later after there was ample evidence of her evil and cruel behavior. Wake up people !

Ode to Kuma Coffee House

A stoneway siren's song for dusty travellers
It welcomes you
it beckons to broken shards of city bards
of workers hard and busriders sore with fare to settle
gathering, collecting like weathered leaves
with long stories to tell;
it brings up people we forgot about,
or never knew 'til now.
Ruminating over glaze of jam
laughing and lamenting crimes of Uncle Sam,
Swilling earthen bean in a tongue of war
over salty work politic--
all comers take the artist's brush and knife
and embrace the lust of countryside
where city scapes whisper of old trolls and moldy souls
whose ghosts still linger in our doorways.

Where is a musician's swarthy soul when you need one?
but at a coffee house.

Dipping into soup pots, a carrot stock bringing fiber
to customer's spiritual sustenance,
a celery circumstance, a donut hole we not yet know,
a toasted cheese--an exhorted salty sentence to please!
a pearful of ginger in a muffin
to trounce your savory tongue.
A taste of pumpkin spice to forever entice!

Truck drivers, merchants and social workers
cutting each other off to see smoky wafts of rising steam
from the holy brew of Kuma Coffee.
It welcomes you.
It beckons to broken shards of holy bards
in all of us.
Think twice next time you ride nearby on city bus.

Taxes must be raised like in the '80s and '90s

Why can't Democrats raise taxes the way “Reagan did 11 times in his office by closing loopholes on the rich, hiked gas and payroll taxes and abolished special favors; and George H. W. Bush did (including raising surtaxes on yachts, luxury sedans and jets) which cost him the election in 1992”. How is it that republicans now have no regard for the poor or middle class and are strictly now after coveting the most wealth and want it there way and damn the poor and middle class in the process who simply must accept the higher tax burden. “Now the conservatives want to force cuts in federal spending by bankrupting the country.” In the 80s Bob Dole was the one who undid a lot of the Reagan tax cuts. Where were the democrats? “The republicans (Reagan) embraced it because at some point one has to pay the bills.” “Bill Clinton continued raising taxes and it cost him both houses of Congress in 1994. The republicans had decided on an oath at this point to cut taxes for the rich no matter what. No republican dared risk breaking this oath from here forward. As the republicans now ruled the houses they chose to eliminate inheritance taxes and on inheritance income” (Newt Gingrich led the charge!). “ Capital gains taxes were cut as well. Now 62% of every dollar went to the top 1% of income earners.” Grover Norquist was the wizard behind these tax cuts that became part of the heart of the republican party that no one would dare oppose.

But Clinton throughout his career of being president and certainly at the end of his presidency vetoed as many tax cuts as he could. This is part of the reason I believe George Bush Jr. got in in 2000. He killed the necessary taxation of the rich. Grover Norquist and vice president Cheney and their lot drove the economy off a cliff.

My thoughts and suggestions are that we increase taxation more to where it was in the 80s and 90s which might be reasonable to reach and tax the buying and trading of stocks. I have been saying this to people for many years. I really believe it could pull us out of the depths of despair. But the president and Congress would have to be willing to stretch this far; it is truly the least they could do.

Mental Health and economics

If we want to actively keep our freedoms, then we must educate ourselves continually to stay on top
of the issues we hold most dear in a democracy. We all owe a great debt to those willing to occupy
Wall Street and hold these Wall Street criminals to task. But people involved on any level also may
feel a bit of impotence in our current global union to really be able to get politicians to make change.

Obama said, "it is up to the people." Well we have spoken and continue to speak. What has Obama
done in response? Impotent leadership is all we have witnessed so far. He actually has made large
amounts of money off the scandals being protested. The wealth for the top 1 % keeps multiplying
and we are left with fewer and fewer crumbs. Money rules all voting, not the people's vote. This is
the implied message being spread everywhere.

Even back in 1890, a populist orator Mary Elizabeth Lease said, "Wall Street owns the country...
our laws are the output of a system which clothes rascals in robes and honesty in rags. The pol-
itical parties lie to us and the political speakers mislead us...Money rules."

Corporations, banks and governments are working against the common people and what is left of our
welfare. This causes psychological suffering on pandemic levels. And sadly, our president is in bed
with these destroyers of democratic hope. Politicians nothing but money launderers. The corporations
see to this. On top of it all, the wealthiest barely pay any taxes. Corporations are also paying pol-
iticians to kill any and all legislation that might help the common soul. Those trying to help the poor
and middle class become marginalized and easily defeated. Except perhaps by large and small groups
like occupy Wall Street.

"Vast inequalities of income weakens a societie's sense of mutual concern...The sense that we are
all members of the social order is vital to the meaning of civilization." It is private interest over public
duty. These emence stressors spark mental illness and the depletion of health for everyone but the
wealthy who have the riches to help with psychiatry, medecine and counseling. The treacherous
nature of economic crashes and strain and painful toil hurt our health and take our sanity and strengths
to lower and lower levels as people desperately try to survive in the wreckage of our societie's social
security net which they so need to survive. Mental health equals quality of life that needs support of
the top 1% in today's stratification of wealth to survive unless by some miracle wealth can be redistrib-
uted properly, including through progressive taxation of the wealthy classes. If this does not happen,
the rubble we find ourselves within in America is not unlike that of the book "Lord of the Flies." This is
a world where no quality of life is possible and would mean death to many. This would be the end to
what we know as mental health. Please let's keep up the struggle for human rights and occupying
Wall Street, government and banking not just in America but the whole of the world.

Natural Gas hybrids vs. Gasoline hybrids

Why aren't more people riding around the city in Natural Gas and electricity? Natural gas is very clean curtailing exhaust emissions by large percentages. Because at the moment there are very few refueling stations. But my dream would be to see them peppered all over the nation, the world soon! With the proper appliance one can even refuel your natural gas vehicle in the convenience of home at a significant savings. Currently the Honda Civic GX is a vehicle leading the pack toward more responsible driving. I just saw a recycling truck that runs on natural gas turning the corner as I wait for my hybrid bus to pick me up. My concern is why not marry the two—natural gas and electric cars into a new special hybrid?

It has caught on with some business organizations then! Unfortunately, natural gas cars burn more fuel than gasoline cars do; but it is allowable to use the HOV lanes with a single driver in a natural gas vehicle and therefore saving gas that way! Drivers with long commutes would not save more money with natural gas and as we know many who live up north and on the east side would be prime candidates. Sadly there are also not many lobbies for NGVs, so it may be a while before their popularity may spring up; I am betting on the long run that they will though. Government energy policy and tax credits favor gasoline cars and ethanol, but only at the moment they do. However, in a typical 5-year ownership of the car, NGVs only would use two thousand dollars in fuel while a gasoline car spends $8000, but I do not know what a gasoline hybrid costs. Ultimately I want to know what a natural gas hybrid could do. However, it is important to note the increasing cost of gasoline every year. This would not be the case with natural gas as the America's (including Canada and Mexico) have quite a bit of resources for the forseeable future. Your concerns of cleaner air and less problems with our climate issues would also help one make the leap to natural gas hybrids. Bon voyage with a better conscience and fatter wallet!

Hegemony for the Men who moil for Gold

We are coming up on All Hallow's Eve, and waiting in the darkest recesses of our bank books and bank vaults are all manner of ghoul and goblin; hedging bets for the trillions to be made. Criminal banking for the corrupt few. Sadly Democrats and Republicans who allowed this to happen refuse to acknowledge the idiomatic mathematical problem that has been disembowling us for years. This allowable reckless and irresponsible banking and hedge funds are all money extracted through trade, banking and taxes. Our taxes, our banking (only globally for all hard working families and those desperately trying to find work and get hard at it!), and our countrie's trading has been rounded up by our outlaw bought Congress so this illegal expedition can be carried out and they don't care a whit about it's people and it simply needs to be abandoned like what Teddy Roosevelt said back in his day. Screw our useless Congress! Hell, if I could hedge, I would bet that our President doesn't wear a toupee! Derivative evils should be made illegal now, even yesterday! We need a President who acknowledges this serious gadfly issue and will take monster-sized steps in rectifying this hereto issue. I would like to hedge my small, hard-toiled fortune on a belief that the futures in hedging money will end soon, perhaps by some forseable Halloween come hither! Let them moil for profit in the same way us 99% have to. Until then, continue to occupy Wall Street and make the streets safer for Main Street and our children's futures. Let's hedge toward sharing and thanksgiving instead.

Too bad people with closed minds would not have closed mouths also.
