Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America

Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America
A North American Partnership

From the website: The SPP provides the framework to ensure that North America is the safest and best place to live and do business. It includes ambitious security and prosperity programs to keep our borders closed to terrorism yet open to trade.

Some are concerned this is the first step to the removal of sovereignty of the United States of America. Please review and decide.

As of June 6, 2007, the last time the state websites were checked, 3 sites were not working. If a site is not working wait a few days and try again.

We started by ranking the State websites. This did not work. Too many sites were abysmally poor. They looked nice, but try to find something on the site. It was alright to be attractive, such as Colorado's, but they forgot to put anything of value into the site until too many steps into the site. One of the things that will give a site a very low mark is assuming that we know where something is in the hierarchy of government. An example can be Florida, where do they deem a department is located? If you do not know, every link has to be opened until the subject is found. Poor design.

Taxes
Is it time to repeal the 16th Amendment?
If we want to clean up the tax problem, repeal the 16th Amendment. Mandate that no taxes,
fines, levies, assessments, fees, or leans may be issued by the Federal Government against any United States Citizen or United States Company. It will again force an apportioned tax bill assessed to each State.

Each State would be responsible for raising these funds. Any Federal court action would have to be returned to the State for fines and the collection of fines. It would also force Congress to defend the tax bill in each state. If the elected official fails to do so, their re-election is in jeopardy. Elected officials will become more responsive to the will of the people.

A recent poll indicated that 97% of the people feel that it is time to make changes in government. This is the simplest and easiest step. This would be a bi-partisan across ideology approach to making government again responsive to the people. Our Foundng Fathers were very intelligent with dividing the power. Allowing the 16th Ammendment gave almost total power to the Federal Government.

Fair Tax
Always double and triple check anything the government says is fair; anything. In this case it is a National Sales Tax. What is so surprising is that the Conservatives are calling for this tax and not the Liberals. It's your call if you agree or not. But, it is a progressive tax. It hurts the middle and lower income folks. It can be "adjusted in the background" with without folks knowing about it. The concept is that payroll, income, and corporate taxes, plus similar taxes would be eliminated. It is very close to the VAT tax of Europe. 23% or so national sales tax. Credits to those the government feels should have them.

Keep this in mind. It will support the Black Market for High Ticket items. There is an incentive on both sides to beat sales taxes. Prohibition did not work. A couple of decades ago New York City raised cigarette tax because the City wanted more money. They lost money because it forced folks to buy outside of NYC and also the Black Market sold for less.

Considerations
Considerations are discussion points that are tucked within the FinditFast Directory. They are not designed to change your mind, but rather to be a starting point for thought or discussion. In some instances, technical points of law or the Constitution are addressed. Some may say these are being high-lighted for a political agenda. This is not true. Legal procedures are in place to protect everyone. To say: "Move your thumb," is a political position (so as to stop hitting it with a hammer,) demonstrates that 1. You have an agenda. Or, 2, You have lost your objectivity.

Whatever your political leanings and philosophies, always be honest with yourself and others about your positions. If you cannot, than you may not have thought your position through, or may be changing the way you see the world.

As long as it is done with integrity, or an honest, "I don't know." You are facing the world and your Ethos, honestly. Possibly with mistakes; but, honestly. That is all any of us can hope to achieve.

Congressional Pay-raise
Congress allowed another pay raise for themselves to pass. About $4,400 a year. The June 21, 2007 Gallop poll has the rating of Congress at 14%. The Thursday, June 28, 2007 Fox News Poll has Congress at a 36% approval rating. Some things to consider. How are the questions phrased? Will we ever see the questions asked?

The Congressional system is in many ways broken. Special interest groups control Congress, not taxpayers and voters. Although, the immigration bill was stopped because most Americans did not feel that the Government could do what it promised, even if it intended to, and jammed the phone lines to voice concern. Second, most in Congress had not read the bill so discussion was a moot point. The tools are already are in place to build the wall. Illegal aliens can be rounded up and deported. At least get the dangerous ones out of the country, when we find them. Let border patrol do their job.

Stop wasting tax money. Granted one person's need is another's pork. Use proper channels of allocation and let all expenditures see the light of day. This is why a strong consideration of the repeal of the 16th Amendment is in order with apportioned tax bills given to each State.

For now, maybe it is time for the voters to decide whether these elected officials should keep their pay raise or turn it back to the treasury.

The Constitution
The Constitution of the United States is setup so that the three branches of government, Executive, Legislative, and the Judicial all have equal authority. What does this mean when the an obvious error has occurred on the Supreme Court? It means, it must take the combined actions of both the Legislature and the Executive, through procedures, to overrule the Supreme court. It is very Constitutional. Only since 1952 has the Supreme Court felt that it is the supreme decision maker of the land. If this is allowed to stand, our elected officials are nothing more than a "student government".

Exposure - Risk
It is interesting how often statistic are corrupted. The most famous example is: Air safety. The airlines are always comparing mileage in an automobile to the mileage flying. It sure sounds comforting until it is pointed that is the wrong comparison.

In this instance, exposure time is the accurate comparison. Equal time travelling. It is not; nor, it has never been mileage. Now to be fair, the airlines are safe. But, only about as safe as riding down the road in the family roadster. When the airlines tell you miles, tell them you are not interested, you want results based upon exposure. If you cannot do this, Airline Company, you are not being honest.

This fact is true for many other industry. Always look to the exposure risk or incidents to time for one of the statistical examples. Without this information you have nothing but smoke and mirrors.

Fair Tax
Always double and triple check anything the government says is fair; anything. In this case it is a National Sales Tax. What is so surprising is that the Conservatives are calling for this tax and not the Liberals. It's your call if you agree or not. But, it is a progressive tax. It hurts the middle and lower income folks. It can be "adjusted in the background" with without folks knowing about it. The concept is that payroll, income, and corporate taxes, plus similar taxes would be eliminated. It is very close to the VAT tax of Europe. 23% or so national sales tax. Credits to those the government feels should have them.

Keep this in mind. It will support the Black Market for High Ticket items. There is an incentive on both sides to beat sales taxes. Prohibition did not work. A couple of decades ago New York City raised cigarette tax because the City wanted more money. They lost money because it forced folks to buy outside of NYC and also the Black Market sold for less. The Black Market bought tobacco in North Carolina and forged the cigarette stamps. The Black Market got rich. The City lost money.

Also, Michigan is funding its schools through a portion of Michigan Sales tax. Everyone is finding that it is too cyclic to be a stable income source for schools.

To be honest, Saidnews.org is indifferent about taxes if these stipulations are agreed to: 1, The elected officials have to hand a tax bill to the taxpayer. 2, The tax payer has to dig into the pocket for the tax. 3, The elected Representative (Congress) has to defend the tax bill to the voter (taxpayer.) 5. No hidden taxes. 6. No privileges or exemptions for elected officials. 7, Adjustments for the most needy.

Free
If you have to open your wallet it is not free. "Free. Just pay shipping and handling." This is not a free offer. You have to open your wallet. Also, why should we pay for shipping? We don't in stores and they have the over-head of running a store. Actually it is a way to get more money out of you. Check the price. Is it first a reliable source. Is it a competitive price. Is shipping and a real warranty included? If there is a problem the return should be on their nickel, not yours. Last very important question, do you really need it? Most times you don't.

Health Care Account
Personal Health Care Accounts
With the concern over healthcare costs, and the discussion by some of a National Healthcare System (some have called it Hillarycare) a sound and practical alternative solution has been suggested that should be considered. The personal Health Care Account. Such an account would work as a savings account. A combination of individual and employee contribution would be placed into this account for medical purposes. Pre-tax dollars would be used. All medical expenses would be paid out of this account. If medical cost go above an agreed upon amount, for this example $1,000, medical insurance would take care of the difference. The insurance premiums would be greatly reduced. Think of it as a $1,000 deductible on car insurance. If the amount was not used, it could be rolled over into additional years without being taxed. This would be an excellent way to plan for children's braces or those circumstances not covered by insurance. Each year contributions would be made into this account. It would be the responsibility of each account holder to make sure they are getting the best price for comparable service so as to keep as much money in the account. Systems can be set up, most often through employers where a credit card style card could be used for such purchases.

For those who have no insurance, assistance into such accounts by government agencies would keep the competitive nature of pricing in full practice while still keeping healthcare out of the government institutions. Depending upon insurance packages, it may be possible for part-time or low-salaried workers to receive the insurance package from the employer without receiving the assistance with the accounts. This would protect more individuals from catastrophic events.

The important part of this concept is each individual would be responsible to shop for the best price making prices very competitive and forcing the healthcare system to be efficient in those areas where it will not influence patient care.

This proposal should be comfortable to most Americans and to those of both parties, as well as ideologies. Healthcare is a serious problem which should be addressed responsibly and carefully.

Immigration
The opinion polls indicate that the majority of Americans wish the borders sealed with the promised wall. Two times in the past the Federal Government has promised this and has not completed the task. So it is understandable that the mandate of the people is to first seal the border. If this is done as promised, and the illegal aliens, are not given amnesty (by whatever definition) a decent process can be addressed.

If the American people can feel safe in their homes, they can open their hearts to those who wish to come to America. To most Americans it is a "Gun in the face" threat, not a race issue. Let us not distort the issue with politics. It will make the process take longer for everyone.

Monitors and TV sets
An interesting thing about the new LCD, plasma, crystal screens. They cost a whole lot less to make, a whole lot less, than the traditional CRT screens with the picture tube. Some folks will pay anything for gadget, for instance the new IPod phone $600 plus $1500 for 2 years of phone serve and the folks who make the thing said it was out-dated before it went on sale. What happened? A feeding frenzy to buy a $20 phone for $600.

Money - the true value of currency
It is difficult to figure true value of money. Whether it is dollar, pounds, or pesos. A good rough estimate can be achieved by comparing gold prices throughout history. This is not perfect. It would be better to use many standards, if possible.

But for this discussion, we will use dollars and gold. During the Colonial times, gold was worth about $10 an ounce. Gold today is about $600 an ounce. Divide $10 by $600. That means in the calculator, put in 10 then punch the divide symbol. Type in 600, or the current price of gold. Push the equal sign. The results will be the percent difference in value. Today's dollar is about 1/60 of Colonial times. This equals out to about 1 1/2 cents. In other words. All things being equal, 1.5 pennies colonial can buy about $1 today.

When figuring your investment returns, make sure you notate gold and other commodity prices when purchasing. Do your normal figuring for your return. Now figure in the price shift in the dollar. In crude terms, if you made 10% and the dollar dropped 10%, you broke even. Remember that important fact in your investments.

Nuclear Power
There is a debate about whether nuclear power is safe or not. We all know the consequences if major problems occur. The question is: "Is nuclear power safe?"

Other than a few experts, we as country do not know. But, there are some strong indications that can place our positions were they should be. As an example if you remember with the Hubble Space Telescope, NASA said it was too dangerous to repair it. Yet, they said it was safe enough to go to the space station. Well, if it is too, dangerous for one, it is too dangerous for the other. If it is safe enough for one, it is safe enough for the other. We cannot know, yet common sense will dictate beyond their words.

In the case of nuclear power, again we cannot know. So, let us ask them, if we allowed them to build the plants, but in return you step away from the Anderson Act ( an act that limits liability of the nuclear industry to a maximum $100 billion and different versions have come along.) and protect insurance company so that full property coverage of any loss of property and life is covered, so as to avoid the Katrina insurance mishap. Maybe your position of nuclear power being safe is worth considering.

But there are a couple of more things. How to safely handle nuclear waste, it is still a debate. And these and other questions that are reasonable should be heard, your voice should be heard. Stay the course as your are doing, it makes it seem that nuclear power plants are too dangerous. Let it be you (nuclear industry) cover your risk, not the folks. You will make the real concerns go away with real answers, not double talk, we'll listen. Maybe the safest place to put these plants are in the desert where the ground water will not be at risk.

Rebates
Lee Iacocca started the popular use of rebates in an effort to sell Chrysler Corporation cars and trucks back when Chrysler almost went bankrupt. It was the quickest way possible to change prices. This was an intelligent use of rebates. Today, the rebate is used make customers hop through hoops and divulge additional information about themselves.

Maybe it is time that these corporations are the ones that have to jump through the hoops. Let us just say no to rebates. If they (the manufacturer) cannot offer their products at the lowest price while still making money, we really do not need their products, do we?

 

Radio
The Fairness Doctrine
(The Censorship Doctrine)
The fairness Doctrine was established in 1949 by the FCC was an attempted, in their view, to create an opportunity to have all views expressed on radio and television. In 1987 President Ronald Reagan vetoed legislation to renew the Fairness Doctrine. There is now an attempt to have it re-instated. In theory this doctrine sounds as if this is a just principal. In fact, if we compare the 40 years in which the Fairness Doctrine was in use and the almost 30 years it has not been law, some very interesting observations become apparent. 1, More discussion of more diverse topics have occurred. 2, Talk Radio has become very popular, usually the 7th most listened to station in a market, but with the most profit. 3, Conservative, Moderate, and Liberal branding of Talk Radio has been attempted. When the demagoguery of labeling is removed by the offended groups, Talk Radio that presents responsible ideas succeed. Talk Radio that only rant and rave political agenda fails.

The Fairness Doctrine is, in reality, censorship by the most despicable means, mis-labeling and diverting the discussion from what this doctrine is, control by the political entities in power. The FCC and Congress is stepping outside its authority. It is trying to control the information that you will hear. The Fairness Doctrine will not apply to Saidnews.org. But, the principal of control information to control political power is abhorrent to Saidnews.org.

Roswell officer's deathbed admission raises possibility that aliens DID visit 30.06.07
Evening Standard and This is London

Exactly 60 years ago, a light aircraft was flying over the Cascade Mountains in Washington State, at a height of around 10,000ft.

Suddenly, a brilliant flash of light illuminated the aircraft. Visibility was good and as pilot Kenneth Arnold scanned the sky to find the source of the light, he saw a group of nine shiny metallic objects flying in formation.

He estimated their speed as being around 1,600 miles per hour - nearly three times faster than the top speed of any jet aircraft at the time. He described the craft as arrow-shaped and said they moved in a jerky motion - 'like a saucer would if you skipped it across the water'.

A reporter seized on this phrase and in his story described the objects as 'flying saucers'. The age of the Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) had begun.

Lieutenant Walter Haut was the public relations officer at the base in 1947, and was the man who issued the original and subsequent press releases after the crash on the orders of the base commander, Colonel William Blanchard.

Haut died last year, but left a sworn affidavit to be opened only after his death.

Last week, the text was released and asserts that the weather balloon claim was a cover story, and that the real object had been recovered by the military and stored in a hangar. He described seeing not just the craft, but alien bodies.

It is important that several comments be made about the State of Michigan Website.

    1. It is an abuse of power and privilage for the Governor to promote her political petition drive for signatures on the State website for a Constitutional ammendment.  
     
     2. Saidnews.org has links to all 50 states and territories available at this link.
     
    3. The IT department as well as most State employees are putting forth best-efforts in these most difficult times. They deserve our support and appreciation. Do not blame the State IT department for the State website. The State of Michigan website is considered by Saidnews.org to be one of the worst government websites in the United States. Judge for yourself.

Question: How much does the local TV stations charge you for watching their programming?
Question: How much does cable and satellite charge you for watching their programming?
Question: Should it be, with similar costs, that advertised-based programming be free to the viewer?


The cost of operating a cable or satellite system is competitive to the cost of operating a television station. The advantage to the non-broadcaster is the multiple channel option for advertising and premium services that are unavailable to broadcasters. Yet, the cable and satellite systems charge their monthly fees and insert advertising into programming channels at about double to quadruple the insertion rate over broadcasters.

Franchising Fees? Broadcasters pay license fees, plus a fee representing a portion of the profit the FCC feels the station should be making based upon market size, and the station is donating public service time and programming. So you see, everything is just about equal. Non-commercial premium channels such as HBO, are of course, another story.

Some cable channels feel they deserve their advertising time, plus a fee. Other than for new startup channels, how many feel it is time for some of these channels to sink-or-swim?

How many are satisfied with what broadcasters, cable, and satellite providers are offering as choices into your home?

With the new smart boxes, Ala cart options are available if enough demand it. $29.95 a month may seem like a good price for 40 channels, most folks only watch 12. What about $59.59 for 70+ channels? If the 40 channels have only 5 channels you like, is it a good value on satellite or the 70+ on cable? Would it not be better to pay $1.50 per month per channel, instead of $1.333 and receive full value by choosing your channels? It can all be controlled from the box. And since it is full of advertising, would it not be unreasonable to expect this service for free? Most cable systems have a monopoly in their communities then get annoyed when subscribers complain about poor and over-priced service.

A courteous comment to your entertainment provider is important. Tell them where they are doing good and bad. Let them know that you know the score. "A Guest in my home must conform to house rules!" Sometimes they forget that very important point. Remember: "The checkbook stops here." You can say no at any time. If the product becomes unbearable or quality becomes an issue, they have broken the contract, not you. So look for a point the can be shown as contract busting position on their part. It should not be difficult.

Now for some technical information.
Do you know the annoying commercials? Let the advertisers and those running the commercials know you don't like them. Be nice. What they are trying to do is have you remember their name and hope you will forget that you hate their commercials. So a good rule of thumb, if you cannot remember why you remember the name, don't buy it. And take this additional step, let your friends and family know that you are stepping away from this product for now, tell them the reason. Why reward these businesses for bad manners. This is true for phone solicitations, too. Cause them some small consequence by backing away until they stop, plus 90 days. And let them know it's not to hurt them, but to teach them some manners that they seemed to have never learned.

Why are commercials so loud?
If you have read the paragraph above you will understand the attitude of some. They produce the commercials to run this way. It has nothing to do with the channel running them. It is called compression. If the average amount of time the audio level is louder, without actually being louder, it will sound louder. If all audio has a maximum level of 100% and most audio has an average of 50% most of the time with audio peaks at 100% you will adjust your volume for this level. An advertiser may produce a specific commercial that runs at 75% average audio level with audio peaks at 100%, it will just scream in comparison to the audio around it.

This audio sample demonstrates this principal. Right click to download MP3 audio sample (800 KB MP3). In this example the average level has been doubled, +3db. The maximum audio level has not been increased.

One remedy, besides letting the advertisers know of your disapproval, is to spend about $200 and by an audio compressor and hook it into your audio chain of your stereo. Run your TV audio through this and allow some audio compression on even the quietest pieces. It will control the obnoxious commercials.

Also let the TV manufacturers know that you want a built-in audio compressor in your television set. They can do it quite cheaply and then stand-only units can have this feature, too.

Maybe it is time to turn of your television for random viewing. Suppliers think they have you over a barrel. Walk away and you have them.
