    Despite shitty economy, unemployed Americans refuse to take farm jobs

    Many people are lazy in America. My friend's girlfriend in NJ hasn't worked for close to 2 years (was laid off from her last job) and has been collecting $1,900 per month in unemployment. She makes more on unemployment than many people working full-time. She doesn't even have a college degree...

    Health Insurance - looking for group discounts

    The good thing is even if you have a high deductible plan, you still get charged the allowed amount for a procedure, not the full amount, even if you have paid nothing towards your deductible.

    That's why it is good to stay away from eggs, beef, and pork.

    Sweden Considers Cashless Society

    If hookers are able to process credit card transactions, that would benefit the credit card companies, since they get a percentage each time the card is used, plus American Express offers points each time you use your card, and that would benefit the cardholder. It's a win-win situation for all.

    Sweden Considers Cashless Society

    How do they cope without a 6 bedroom house and a new BMW every 2 years? You aren't living until you are in debt up to your eyeballs.

    I have read stories where Mexican women cross the border pregnant, and walk into a hospital in Texas to deliver their baby for free.

    Health Insurance - looking for group discounts

    Where did you get this information from? I guess you are better off keeping your money in your own safe if you don't have health insurance.

    Health Insurance - looking for group discounts

    I wasn't aware that they can go after your house. I assume the hospital would have to take you to court first and win before they can collect from you? Can they also garnish your wages or seize assets from your bank and brokerage accounts?

    Unemployed Americans heading to China

    The rural unemployed can work on farms. The city and suburban unemployed can work on projects in the cities and suburbs. I'm sure there are plenty of things that can be thought of to produce some kind of work for the unemployed. It's not fair that people have to bust their ass working, while...

    Health Insurance - looking for group discounts

    $1,100 per month is outrageous. In many countries around the world, $1,100 is enough to pay your rent, food, and utilities for the month. Don't you think you are better off going without the health insurance and just take your chances? Pay cash for annual check-ups. It won't cost you $13,000 per...

    National Poverty Rate - A National Shame

    If a foreign corporation has operations here in the U.S., do they pay corporate income taxes on their profits to the U.S. or to their own country where they are headquartered? Why should a foreign company come to the U.S. when they can employ their own citizens. France and other European...

    Unemployed Americans heading to China

    They should make unemployed people work 40 hours per week to be able to receive an unemployment check. They can clean the streets and highways, paint, build homes for the poor and other construction projects, work on farms, etc. No one needs to be homeless or hungry. There is plenty of land to...

    School Taxes

    I used to live in NJ and I'm glad that I live in Georgia now. New Jersey property taxes are ridiculously high. I pay only $2,300/year in property taxes in Georgia for a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath home with a 2 car garage, and the public schools are great. My friend who still lives in NJ pays $8,000...

    Perpetual, I spent 100K to go to school and cannot earn income.

    Perhaps they have no money to start a business or the knowledge of how to run a business or even know what a Schedule C or 1040 ES is. Of course it depends on the type of business and how much money you need to start it. Corporations don't want wild and care-free entrepreneurs. They want...
