Why People Like To Hide Their Assets

it is a sad fact that finance is not taught in high school....not one thing is taught......it always amazes me when people have a 6 yr car loan and all they are concerned about is the monthly payment....and act like its my fault when it tell them the entire first 2 yrs of payments are interest...there are just so many ways credit cards fuck people and people dont realize it...

my favorite...the 12 month interest fee loans from box hardware stores if you do not pay the full amount off by the date you are hit with over 20 % or more interest fees.....or if you charge a 500 loan with no interest and the buy a 10 buck thing with same care.....you will pay interest on that 10 bucks till the 500 loan is cleared...

payday loans that can never be paid off..title loans are the same....pawns shops are more honest lenders
 
Should the socialists - Republican or Democrat - get enough ground here, they'll be looking to you to pay for these people.

5 facts that prove Americans are terrible at managing money

One more reason to make secondary education more practical and math more interesting to the masses. Of course academic topics, such as Sociology and Political Science are necessary too, since people like Billy K. have no clue as to the terms they use and how they use them.

When every doctor, nurse and medical technologist is an employee of the government, and every hospital, clinic and dental office is owned by the government and managed by government employees, you can then call health care socialized medicine.

You either have no clue as to what Socialism is, or enjoy misleading the reader by echoing the Republican meme.

First, rewrite your first sentence: "I suspect I have more degrees than you flashes of cognizance"; there must be some missing words or typos.

Then explain to me what you believe Socialism is and where it exists in the US (in effect it does, in terms of Police, Military and the VA, for example) and why it does and what it is called in economic terms.

Socialism is merely an early stage Communism.

"In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly—only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!"
- Karl Marx


"I. Nothing in society will belong to anyone, either as a personal possession or as capital goods, except the things for which the person has immediate use, for either his needs, his pleasures, or his daily work.

"II. Every citizen will be a public man, sustained by, supported by, and occupied at the public expense.

"III. Every citizen will make his particular contribution to the activities of the community according to his capacity, his talent and his age; it is on this basis that his duties will be determined, in conformity with the distributive laws."
- Étienne-Gabriel Morelly, Code of Nature, 1755


"In Marxist theory, the state is 'the institution of organized violence which is used by the ruling class of a country to maintain the conditions of its rule. Thus, it is only in a society which is divided between hostile social classes that the state exists.' The state is thus seen as a mechanism that is dominated by the interests of the ruling class and utilized to subjugate other classes in order to protect and legitimize the existing economic system.

"After a workers' revolution, the state would initially become the instrument of the working class. Conquest of the state apparatus by the working class must take place to establish a socialist system. As socialism is built, the role and scope of the state changes as class distinctions (based on ownership of the means of production) gradually deteriorate due to the concentration of means of production in state hands. From the point where all means of production become state property, the nature and primary function of the state would change from one of political rule (via coercion) over men by the creation and enforcement of laws into a scientific administration of things and a direction of processes of production; that is the state would become a coordinating economic entity rather than a mechanism of class or political control, and would no longer be a state in the Marxian sense."

Also, you make my point. There are no missing words or typos in that sentence.

There's a point to this word salad?: "I suspect I have more degrees than you flashes of cognizance." I was trying to be polite, it is nonsensical. No one cares what you suspect, and "you flashes of cognizance" is a phrase which defies comprehension.

FYI: I have BA with a double major; and an MS; the former from CAL, the latter from SFSU.

We, in the US, have a mixed economy. It has been so for generations and is not going to change no matter what Marx predicted. The greater threat to us are the Plutocrats! The Marxists - if any still exist, are dreamers with no hope of every achieving some proletariat utopia.

The RED SCARE is neo McCarthyism, hate and fear. If we are to be concerned, we need to watch Trump and his Secretaries; watch what they do and who they consort with; his cabinet is comprised of many billionaires, and his idea of tax reform seems - there are no details yet - to be trickle down voodooism.

In fact, if there is to be a renewed interest in Communism, the finger can be pointed directly at the Plutocrats and their insatiable greed. Attacks on labor unions and the euphemism of "Right to Work", the effort to privatize and reject the Social Contract Theory, and the total disregard for noblesse oblige [we have ours, fuck the rest you], will create a greater divide between the power elites and the middle class.

That I amuse you is strong evidence of your willful ignorance, for if you have Degrees, you must have forgotten much of what is required in an expository essay*.

*"The expository essay is a genre of essay that requires the student to investigate an idea, evaluate evidence, expound on the idea, and set forth an argument concerning that idea in a clear and concise manner. This can be accomplished through comparison and contrast, definition, example, the analysis of cause and effect, etc."

Posting my comments (my argument) is amusing has nothing required in an essay of this sort.

For years now, I work at keeping my purchases off the financial data grid. Within practical limits, I...
a) pay for everything in cash,
b) use barter,
c) and invest in local cash flow operations.​
 
I love the fact that Americans charge so much to credit cards. That makes it possible for people like me who pay off their balances every month to take advantage of cash back credit cards. If people paid off their balances every month then credit card companies would never think of offering a card that pays you 2% cash for all your purchases.

Between the business card and our personal cards that give cash back we got a whopping 10,000 in tax free cash this year alone
