The “Worthy” Poor VS The “Unworthy” Poor

In American Society, we have divided the poor into two classes, the “worthy” poor and the “unworthy” poor. The “worthy” poor are those we feel are worth being on state/federal aid and do not complain about assisting. The “unworthy” poor are those are receive aid as well but for some reason society feels they could take care of themselves and not depend on the aid.

Society feels that those in the “unworthy” class are capable of providing for themselves financially. The reason being that most of the people who fall into this class are younger then the people who fall into the “worthy” class. Many who fall into the “worthy class” are the elderly who are beyond working age, and find it hard to support their selves without some form of a fixed income.

Although the majority of the “worthy” class is made up of the elderly, there are certain situations where the “worthy” class also includes some of a younger generation. Many of those come from the deeply impoverished corners of the United States Society. Many don’t have a chance of surviving and living a better life then they are being given unless the someone, whether it be the government or a small organization, step up and find some way to show them the way to improve themselves.

The Average Cost of The US Divorce

As we all know that divorce brings you to that stage of life where you logically die even-though if you are physically alive. Or in other words divorce is death of a marital relationship. The impact that the reek of divorce brings along with it undeniably destroys one so badly that s/he might take years to get back on feet.

Earlier what we discussed was the emotional cost of divorce that is incurred in shape of death of love and loss of respect, isolation, stress, restlessness, developmental regression, physical deterioration, low self-esteem, absence of trust, cynicism, anger, bitterness, feelings of inadequacy any many more.

“I want to get separated from my spouse”, “we don’t have compatibility” or “we don’t make a good match” are the frequent phrases that we hear from young married couples today. Well, this group of people has set of mind which tells them that by getting divorced they are putting an END to the marital unhappiness and with divorce they can rid the tyranny, oppression and abuse of the spouse. But literally speaking they are simply replacing a set of problem with another especially in cases where minors are involved. You will find them coming out of divorce entirely different and their life will take a counter-turn. Continue reading “The Average Cost of The US Divorce”

The New Employment of America Will Lead Many Into Filing Bankruptcy

Since around 2010, the government has added trillions of dollars to add liquidity to the markets in hopes of some form of economic recovery. The scary thing is, this money was not real money that they have in their coffers but money printed out of thin air in the form of quantitative easing. Most Americans don’t understand what quantitative easing is, but in a nut shell it is nothing more than making up money that is backed by nothing. In essence, it devalues every dollar we earn. The Federal Reserve admits to increasing the money supply by 20 times, so if I have my math right every dollar in my pocket is only worth a nickel now. The media has been beating this drum of a complete recovery when in reality jobs are leaving by the millions. In fact, this actually began back in 2000 when US corporations started moving all of their manufacturing offshore. This is when the US economy became debt driven and nothing more. We are no longer makers of anything, but only consumers and that will only work as long as they keep printing money to give to the banks to loan it to the consumers.

A Look at Teen Parenting Statistics

Teen parenting statistics will show that teen parenting is still a rising occurrence in today’s society despite widely available sex education and numerous birth control methods. Teen parenting statistics also indicate that teenage parents and their child are both at a disadvantage in terms of health, education, and finances.

Teenage mothers face higher health risks than mothers at an older age. Such heath risks include anemia, pregnancy-related high blood pressure, underweight birth, premature delivery, and even death. Majority of these risks result from the fact that most teenage mothers lack prenatal care and not because of immature physical development. According to teenage parenting statistics, about forty percent of teenage mothers did not receive quality or adequate care during pregnancy, resulting in their children born with poor health.

In terms of education, teen parenting statistics show that while it has become socially accepted for teenage mothers to stay in school, unfortunately, an alarming 80 percent of them either choose or feel the need to drop out and only fifty percent of teenage parents who had their first child during the early teenage years will finish high school before they reach thirty. Additionally, teen parenting statistics indicate that it is more likely for someone who has had a child between twenty to twenty four years old to finish college than someone who becomes a parent before the age of nineteen.

Imagine a Private Sector, Free Market Economy That Guarantees Enough Predictable Income,,,

Imagine, if you can, a private sector oriented, free market economy which is designed to systematically guarantee that every American citizen, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation, has ENOUGH PREDICTABLE INCOME to pay for decent food, shelter, clothing, education, basic transportation, and yes, health care. In other words, imagine, if you can, a free market economic system that’s specifically designed to produce…
• No homelessness
• No people living in cockroach and rat-infested slums or ghettos
• No single moms having to choose between raising their kids and feeding them
• No wage slaves working on corporate plantations for exploitative corporate dictators
• No old folks eating dog food in order to pay for their meds
• No systematically induced anxiety and stress due to financial instability
• No militarized cops trying to control angry mobs
• No cyclical recessions or depressions, bankruptcies or home foreclosures
• No need to escape inhumane living conditions through booze, drugs, and mental illness
• No debt created whether consumer debt or governmental debt
• People who are actually free to fulfill their individual potentials, whatever they may be
• And in the long run, no need for social safety nets (i.e. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid) because everyone has ENOUGH PREDICTABLE INCOME to pay their bills! Continue reading “Imagine a Private Sector, Free Market Economy That Guarantees Enough Predictable Income,,,”

Who Advertises On Satellite Radio?

The clock reads 3:00AM as Jason puts the last stamps on the tiny boxes of pet food samples he is sending out to potential new buyers of is organic dog food. He’s exhausted, yet a feeling of excitement has him wired as he stumbles to a puffy down comforter and collapses.

He knows he needs rest, yet the thought of where his business is heading keeps his mind racing.

Jason is a small business owner who manufactures a boutique dog food line out of his home town in Missouri. It’s a blend that he has fed to his own race dogs for years, and how as put it on the market for national consumption.

Being a small business owner, Jason did not have a massive budget for marketing and getting the word out about his dog food. He knew that if the brand was going to grow it would need to reach a national audience. That is why he chose to advertise on satellite radio.

Jason had listened to various pet related shows on satellite radio for years before he ventured into business for himself. He had no idea what the costs would be to advertise on such shows. When he contacted a satellite radio advertising company he was presently surprised to learn that on some shows the airing of a commercial was as low as $60.

The Top Five Ways to Cheat the Government -and How They Will Catch You Doing It

Introduction

There is no such thing as a free lunch. There is a vein of gold in that old saying. And yet, that doesn’t stop many from trying to get something for nothing. Entire generations have grown up now trained to depend on the government for support whether it be through food stamps, skewed tax credit laws or welfare. The price they pay in dignity, respect and freedom is barely noticed by many of them. And yet, even with those who are truly in need or who truly deserve the help there are many more who look for ways to scam the government for funds.

Each one of them is convinced they have found the fool-proof way to scheme Uncle Sam and in many cases they get away with it temporarily. Though there are many variations on the overall themes, each will generally fall within one of five categories.

A mobile veterinarian clinic provides high-quality, affordable onsite pet care, for all kinds of animals. The services offered vary between different clinics, as do the terms of financial assistance, which clinics may offer to qualified pet owners.

Why I Wish My Homeless Sister Could Live With Me in Germany

I just finished exchanging messages with my fiance’s sister. The owner of her storage unit, the place where she keeps the unsold remains of her life, is putting all of it up for auction. She could not afford the payments. She is staying at some person’s house who finds it appropriate to steal Pokemon cards from her 8 year old son. Previously to this, she stayed at the local homeless shelter in Salt Lake City, Utah. At first she was placed in a woman’s shelter with her 4 kids. She felt somewhat safe there. Unfortunately they told her it was time to “relocate” to the downtown homeless shelter. She had been there before. She did not want to have to take her children to this place. So she decided to move into an apartment which is owned by a friend’s husband. Unfortunately, one of the conditions for staying there is that she has to put up with a messy, nosy, thief of a roommate. Not completely safe either, but at least the risk of theft or bodily harm is lowered this way. She has been trying to get a job. Job interviews are not going so well, because her teeth are infected and rotting. She feels ugly. She is supposed to show strength and confidence which she does not have. Then, where does she leave her children? Her youngest hasn’t started school yet. She has no income to pay day care centers or babysitters. She was thinking about having her oldest daughter watch her while she attends job interviews. It might work. She worries but she keeps her hopes up. The job interviews she has attended did not work out. She doesn’t have any work experience. You know… other than busting her ass keeping a roof over her head and keeping her family together. They are all sleeping in one room. Which is used as a party room while they are not home. The other people living there leave shot glasses on her mattress which she uses as a bed. She pays for the room in chores. Cinderella and her attic. She keeps her money in her shoe, her underwear. Anywhere that keeps it from being stolen. She suffers from all kinds of pain. Most likely brought on by stress. She is aware of that. But she doesn’t have time to meditate. To relax. She is falling apart while trying to hold her family together.
