I'm really disturbed...
I'm looking at the retirement fund that I have for work, and I don't need that crap later. I need that crap now.
My employer deposited $548.58 for the 4th quarter of 2008, and already (- $338.91) was the change in account value. For the 1st month, no deposit, (-$81.98), change in account value. The 3rd quarter there was a deposit of $365.72, and (-$217) change in account value. This does not include the $5 quarterly fee that is also a negative value.
I was thinking about going to HR and asking them that instead of funding a retirement fund for me, that they pay me that money. I don't want a retirement fund, I'll make my own when I'm ready. How do you think that will fly by? I need that money NOW not later!

The Tax Poem
I didn't write this...I don't know who did, but this is to prove a point!
----------------------------------
Tax his land, tax his wage,
Tax his bed in which he lays.
Tax his tractor, tax his mule,
Teach him taxes is the rule.
Tax his cow, tax his goat,
Tax his pants, tax his coat.
Tax his ties, tax his shirts,
Tax his work, tax his dirt.
Tax his chew, tax his smoke,
Teach him taxes are no joke.
Tax his car, tax his grass,
Tax the roads he must pass.
Tax his food, tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his sodas, tax his beers,
If he cries, tax his tears.
Tax his bills, tax his gas,
Tax his notes, tax his cash.
Tax him good and let him know
That after taxes, he has no dough.
If he hollers, tax him more,
Tax him until he's good and sore.
Tax his coffin, tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.
Put these words upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my doom!"
And when he's gone, we won't relax,
We'll still be after the inheritance tax.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middleclass in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the hell happened? Can you spell "politicians?"

US Govt $940 Million to study autism, Zero to study vaccine/autism connection!!!
This is a forwarded message from one of my colleagues at www.njvaccinationchoice.org
Please read, if you would like information about how you can participate in NJ go to that website. I do not vaccinate my newborn, and my first born is partially vaccinated and goes to school.
Take care,
Marieliz
Dear Friends, Family and Colleagues,
As many of you know, I am a vaccine choice activist/autism advocate. I blame the aggressive US vaccine protocol for many of the illnesses we are seeing in our children...asthma, allergies, autism, ADD, ADHD, diabetes, arthritis, developmental delays etc....go to www.thinktwice.org and order Neil Miller's Vaccine Safety Guide (one of many books on the topic) and read for yourselves. My research has lead me to find that the unvaccinated populations of children are much healthier than the vaccinated children in the US population.
Keep in mind everyone---many many many countries DO NOT mandate vaccines for school attendance the way the US does. My foreign friends shake their heads at the rates of US vaccination! I feel it is mostly about money, not health. (I know that is shocking to say or believe in America these days!) Polio - at its height, I have read figures from 1 in 3000 to 1 in 1000 1% of polio victims had paralysis, over 95% had cold/flu symptoms and fully recovered Autism in NJ 1 in 60 boys
Asthma US 1 in 10 childrenDevelopmental disabilities 1 in 6 US children..........and on and on and on For years I have screamed that the US government and drug companies have refused to study the unvaccinated populations of children for autism and other illnesses. I was amazed to learn several weeks ago that the IACC Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee http://iacc.hhs.gov/ approved the below referenced funding to study vaccine safety including a formal study of the unvaccinated populations.
Who is IACC and what do they do? IACC is made up of eighteen seats. Twelve members are government representatives and six members are from the general public. IACC is responsible for developing and updating the Strategic Plan for Autism Research under the mandate of the Combating Autism Act. They decide which studies get funding from the $940 million that was allocated to autism research under the Act. The two vaccine research studies in question totaled $16 million, less than two percent of the available funds.
In the earlier vote of the IACC, as reported by David Kirby on the Huffington Post on January 5, 2009:
"In fact, two vaccine-autism studies have been approved by the IACC, which has proposed spending $16 million to:
1) "Study the effect of vaccines, vaccine components, and multiple vaccine administration in autism causation and severity through a variety of approaches, including cell and animal studies, and understand whether and how certain subpopulations in humans may be more susceptible to adverse effects of vaccines by 2011. Proposed costs: $6,000,000
2) Determine the feasibility and design an epidemiological study to determine if the health outcomes, including ASD, among various populations with vaccinated, unvaccinated, and alternatively vaccinated groups by 2011. Proposed costs: $10,000,000
Additionally, under "Research Opportunities," the panel also endorsed this objective:"Monitor the scientific literature regarding possible associations of vaccines and other environmental factors (e.g., ultrasound, pesticides, pollutants) with ASD to identify emerging opportunities for research and indicated studies." I was thrilled to read this news, HOWEVER, the practical side of me knew that it would be undone somehow!Get this-- Just a few days ago the IACC voted (the vote was not on any agenda and public members had no notice) and reversed its own decision of the previous month authorizing vaccine autism studies).
Go to www.ageofautism.com to read further articles.
Our damn government has put aside $940 million for autism research and these clowns are not going to study a possible vaccine link. US citizens are screaming all over the country about the aggressive vaccine protocol and their concerns about the high rates of illness and they are not going to study a possible vaccine link! What action can you take...I will keep you posted.
Bottom line: The US government must study vaccine safety and the US government owes it to the US people to study the unvaccinated populations.
We can't rely upon the drug companies to police themselves. Some articles of interest:
ftp://ftp.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/vaccineinjurytable.pdf
Known vaccine side effects http://www.homefirst.com/cal-oregon_unvaccinated_survey.html
An interesting study to read, vaccinated v. unvaccinated.
Also found at www.generationrescue.org http://www.homefirst.com/faqs/examples/the_age_of_autism_the_last_l_word.html
A very large group of unvaccinated children are seen at this practice in Chicago. Virtually no autism or illness! www.thinktwice.org Neil Miller's latest Vaccine Safety Manual. I love this book. Great information on vaccines and the diseases they allegedly protect us against.
Best, Claudine
