Overnight Open Thread (4-7-2013)
— Maetenloch

Apparently there is a 'merman lifestyle'. And along with the shame there's also money in it.

About $250K a year is where you turn into a class criminal and pretty much anything can be done to you. Because you're a criminal.

President Obama's budget, to be released next week, will limit how much wealthy individuals - like Mitt Romney - can keep in IRAs and other retirement accounts.The senior administration official said that wealthy taxpayers can currently "accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving."

Under the plan, a taxpayer's tax-preferred retirement account, like an IRA, could not finance more than $205,000 per year of retirement - or right around $3 million this year.

The Stupid Party at Work

The GOP has been steadily taking over state legislatures in the US but when they get in charge they also do dumb shit like this.

Apparently opening county commission meetings or school football games with prayer is so important that the First Amendment needs to be trimmed back in North Carolina. Hence the NC GOP has proposed this bill:

SECTION 2. The North Carolina General Assembly does not recognize federal court rulings which prohibit and otherwise regulate the State of North Carolina, its public schools or any political subdivisions of the State from making laws respecting an establishment of religion.

And then you have the Virginia AG fighting to keep a law on the book that bans oral and anal sex between adults. Granted he's trying to hit a 47 year old man who has sex with a girl over 15 with a felony but it would also have the effect of banning all BJs in Virginia.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit ruled on March 12 that Virginia's "Crimes Against Nature" statute, which banned oral and anal sex, violates the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. One judge dissented, agreeing with a lower court that the Supreme Court's ruling in Lawrence v. Texas on sodomy laws applied only to consenting adults. The case in question involved a teenage girl and a 47-year-old man, William Scott MacDonald, who was convicted of soliciting a minor to commit a felony.

Trayvon's Family To Get $1 Million

Not from Zimmerman but from the HOA of the subdivision where the shooting happened. The amount is confidential but believed to be at least a million dollars.

The parents of a teenager who was fatally shot by a neighborhood watch volunteer last year have settled a wrongful-death claim against the homeowners association of the Florida subdivision where their son was killed.
...Under the terms of the settlement, Trayvon Martin's parents and his estate agreed to set aside their wrongful-death claim and claims for pain and suffering, loss of earnings and expenses, the Sentinel reported.

According to a cover page attached to the settlement that was placed in Zimmerman's criminal case file, copies of the settlement were given Thursday to Zimmerman's attorney, as well as to the prosecutor and the judge, the newspaper reported.
Crump has previously said he intends to file suit later against Zimmerman, and the settlement specified that Zimmerman was not part of the homeowner association's deal.

You would have thought the HOA would have delayed until the trial but maybe they were afraid of an even bigger award if Zimmerman is convicted.

Police State: The Early Days

The DHS has set up checkpoints far from the border and randomly stops and questions people. Yet as these video show they don't have any justification for doing this and if you simply refuse to cooperate, they have no recourse.

More Black Men Are in Jail Than in College?

Not true. And almost certainly never was true.

More than 10 years ago, the Justice Policy Institute released the report "Cellblocks or Classrooms." While the report should have been a wake-up call to policymakers, one line resonated and echoed more than any other: "Nearly a third more African-American men are incarcerated than in higher education."

Yet here is a graph of black male incarceration vs college enrollment:

Meanwhile there's now one less black man in prison - Wesley Snipes is finally out after serving almost 3 years for tax evasion. It turns out his various justifications for not paying taxes just weren't persuasive to the court.

A July decision by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upholding Snipes' conviction and sentence recounts how after becoming involved with the American Rights Litigators organization, Snipes failed to file individual federal returns from 1999 to 2004, despite grossing more than $37 million during those years. According to the decision, instead of 1040s, Snipes sent the IRS correspondence advancing various theories as to "why the IRS was powerless to collect income taxes from him" including "that he was a `non-resident alien to the United States,' that earned income must come from `sources wholly outside the United States,' that a `taxpayer is defined by law as one who operates a distilled spirit Plant,' and that the Internal Revenue Code's taxing authority `is limited to the District of Columbia and insular possessions of the United States, exclusive of the 50 States of the Union.'''

15 I see the White House blamed demographics for the lowest worker participation rate since 1979, most especially those older Americans. Until the bond market regains any credibility (i.e. interest rates go above 0%), most of those older Americans wonÂ’t retire because their 401(k)Â’s just arenÂ’t performing. ItÂ’s interesting that these older workers are to blamed for the young not getting jobs by supposedly not leaving the workforce, and, on the flip-side, they are blamed for low worker participation rates by supposedly leaving the workforce. It can only be one way or the other. Remember back in the late 70′s when they told us that if we saved $2000 a year and interest rates remained at 17.4% that by the time we went to retire, we would have a million dollars. Seems so silly now.

26 You would have thought the HOA would have delayed until the trial but maybe they were afraid of an even bigger award if Zimmerman is convicted. The second the lawsuit was filed, the insurance company took over. The insurance company figured out how much paperwork was going to be generated in this suit, saw that it would cost them a million to litigate, so they cut their losses and settled. Even if the HOA wanted to fight it, the insurance company gets the final word since it is their dime.

Even if the HOA wanted to fight it, the insurance company gets the final word since it is their dime.

132 It is very reasonable for the Federal Government to limit the amount of income that can be sheltered from current income taxes in a 401K or IRA. We want people to save enough money to be comfortable and self-supporting in their retirement and the 401/IRA system helps ensure that they are. But their is not reason why the government should allow relatively unlimited savings in retirement (and current law allows high earning individuals several ways to save more both absolutely and as a percentage of their income than lower earning individuals.) Where Obama goes wrong is by tying the limit to the amount of income one earns. If he wants to create a lifetime limit as to the amount of earned income that can be sheltered--3 million or whatever-that is fine. But it should not matter to tie the limits to what you earn in a particular year. Just set a lifetime limit for everyone no matter what their income in a particular year.

Posted by: EC at April 07, 2013 06:34 PM (doBIb)

140 15 I see the White House blamed demographics for the lowest worker participation rate since 1979, most especially those older Americans. Until the bond market regains any credibility (i.e. interest rates go above 0%), most of those older Americans wonÂ’t retire because their 401(k)Â’s just arenÂ’t performing. ItÂ’s interesting that these older workers are to blamed for the young not getting jobs by supposedly not leaving the workforce, and, on the flip-side, they are blamed for low worker participation rates by supposedly leaving the workforce. It can only be one way or the other. Remember back in the late 70′s when they told us that if we saved $2000 a year and interest rates remained at 17.4% that by the time we went to retire, we would have a million dollars. Seems so silly now. Posted by: Islamic Rage Boy at April 07, 2013 10:07 PM (e8kgV) Funny thing is that the older people are the ones that will actually do the jobs with a smile on their face. At the local Kroger, the older ones smile and greet you, help you find things, and do the actual work. The others are all union, and don't give a shit if you need help or not.

186 There are income limits for all sorts of tax deductions. Student loan interest has an income limit. The child deduction has a limit. And the limits are much lower than $205K. For the child deduction the limit kicks in at $110,000 for a married couple. So if a couple making $110K can't get a child credit, why exactly should someone have an unlimited amount of tax free eanring in retirement?

195 134 It is very reasonable for the Federal Government to limit the amount of income that can be sheltered from current income taxes in a 401K or IRA. We want people to save enough money to be comfortable and self-supporting in their retirement and the 401/IRA system helps ensure that they are. But their is not reason why the government should allow relatively unlimited savings in retirement (and current law allows high earning individuals several ways to save more both absolutely and as a percentage of their income than lower earning individuals.)

Where Obama goes wrong is by tying the limit to the amount of income one earns. If he wants to create a lifetime limit as to the amount of earned income that can be sheltered--3 million or whatever-that is fine. But it should not matter to tie the limits to what you earn in a particular year. Just set a lifetime limit for everyone no matter what their income in a particular year.

General law here: If you are bringing one or more hunting rifles into Canada and can prove you're bringing them to hunt, great. Happy paperwork! Otherwise, if you're bringing a firearm of any kind just because you want to bring it there you'll be in a world of hurt. Pretty much all handguns are banned. Concealed carry does not exist but for the very few. At the very least, you'll be fined and not allowed into the country again. Once again, that's the general description.

Except, of course, the "growth" is merely a larger number of nominal dollars. Your house didn't "grow" from 1750 square feet to 2800, your lot didn't "grow" from 8000 square feet to an acre....but your value "grew" by hundreds of thousands of dollars while gasoline was going from 50 cents to four-and-a-half bucks and postage went from 3 cents to 48. And the number of nominal dollars is controlled by the Federal government.

While the report should have been a wake-up call to policymakers, one line resonated and echoed more than any other: "Nearly a third more African-American men are incarcerated than in higher education."

250 Wait a minute. there are relatively low limits to what can be contributed on a tax-free basis to a 401k. It's something like 15k per year. Everything else is after-tax. This, again, is not about them hiding money from taxation, it is about forcing them to spend the money.

The fucking frogs held me up for TWO hours filling out forms to transport my fucking gun across their country. I had the forms that were good for 30 days. When we drove back into Canada, Alaska the guy asked me if I had any fire arms, I said fuck no. Wasn't going to waste another two hours with those asshole and I had my papers if he checks.

308 The fact is, the old methods of putting money in an IRA don't work anymore. With these current low interest rates, your account will only grow beyond what you put into it if you have the option to make high-risk investments with that money.

401Ks do okay right now because you can invest those in the stock market, which is being artificially pumped up right now by "quantitative easing", a fancy term for the Federal Reserve ordering the printing of money that then magically belongs to the Federal Reserve, and can be freely invested in the stock market to keep it artificially pumped up.

Mr Obama took to the greens at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, on Saturday afternoon with White House aides Marvin Nicholson, Joe Paulsen, and Michael Brush, according to ABC News. The president made his first golfing trip since the sequester cuts a week earlier, and famously teed off with Tiger Woods on a secretive getaway to Florida in February."

Then why do you get so worked up that 47% don't pay any income tax? According to you, YOUR tax bill doesn't get affected by someone else. According to you if that 47 went to 57 or 67 or 97%, it wouldn't matter. The remaining tax payers wouldn't be affected.

Posted by: Mr. Moo Moo at April 07, 2013 11:09 PM
======

I think the car subsidies are obscene transfers from the have-nots to the haves. In the case of 401k/IRA, the money is taxed when it is spent. There is no equivalent taxation of the car...

Posted by: Mike Hammer at April 07, 2013 07:15 PM (aDwsi)

349 #332: Because the 47% don't pay income taxes at all, and in turn demand that the wealthy "pay their fair share" so they can continue freeloading, my employer has to pay more in taxes. If my employer has less money to spend due to a tax increase, I am less likely to get a raise.

Therefore, the 47% do affect my income.

354 You know the theory on IRA/401K was you got to accumulate assets and there were no transitional taxes on your gains and then when you retired you would pay lower taxes on the money you withdrew from the account. Except for the lack of transitional taxes, that has not worked out too well. Inflation will make most retires pay the same tax on the withdrawals that they would have if they had put the money into a Roth or a tax pay saving, AKA Life Insurance. Young people never remember, you pay income TAX on your SS benefits that your paid for for 50 years. I have decided to borrow money and let my IRA repay the debt, without paying any fucking tax on the IRA when I die! Yes, look it up, IRA assets can be used to pay estate debts and the IRS gets NADA. Fuck you IRS!

"It's a tax subsidy no different than a subsidy to someone with a 401k or IRA" Actually it is. The difference is between deferring taxes on money ALREADY earned, potentially keeping the saver off of welfare and foodstamps later in life, and making a luxury more affordable for those who desire it.

423 Can't use snakes because the cockatoos hate them worse than anything and would kill one if they caught it. Can't get rid of the cockatoos, because seriously, you can't find anyone to take them. Even the rescue places are maxed out. Did you know that a moluccan cockatoo is as loud as a jet engine? This is why these birds are not in the house. And I can't move them into the house because I am seriously allergic to parrots now, which causes a type of pneumonia that I'm taking steroids for.

I don't really like using poison and I couldn't bring myself to put out antifreeze. Can't have a professional do it, because we'd have to move the 'toos in the house which is not a good thing for me.

Unfortunately, the stepson didn't help by putting a bunch of boxes in the garage that had food in them. Didn't know about that until the rats let me know. My dog is a competent rat killer, so I think I'm going to go with cleaning the garage a bit, making sure her shots are up to date and maybe have her spend a night or two out there. If nothing else, they'll be outside when the weather warms up again in a month or so.

him on something economics related, but quite frankly, if you've saved $3M in an IRA/401K, I don't want to subsidize your retirement account

Then black men need to clean up their act, and start pulling their weight, don't they?

The libs always act as though the high incarceration rate of black men is an indictment of the system. I'd buy that if black areas were crime-free havens of communal comity.

But seeing as how they're battle zones, and that the primary cause of death of black males 15-25 is homicide by other black males, maybe these shitheads belong in prison. Is that just possible?

Then black men are to blame for deserting black mothers, aren't they?

Bottom line: the etiology of the problem is beside the point. That is, why black men commit more crimes is another issue; the question before the house was why more black men are incarcerated, and that's because they commit more crimes, in both cases relative to whites and other groups.

http://books.google.com/books?id=lfEtAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA239

I got more, from evil sources. So I've linked to WEB Du Bois who was an honest-to-god Leninist and civil-rights activist, as well as being a bit black himself.

The black population ran up a lot of murders back then, too. And this when didn't dare assault whites - well, not much (they got lynched when they did).

535 black crime has been much higher than white (and all other ethnic groups) crime for as long as we've had crime statistics. It was higher long before the black family disintegrated. And the black crime rate has gone down in the last two decades even as single motherhood has increased among blacks. It's still much higher than white, hispanic, or asian crime. The order of criminality goes black, hispanic, white, asian. Asians are the most law abiding group in America. And there are ethnic variations among whites in America. Southern whites are more criminal. Scandinavian whites are the least criminal. Upper midwest and new england have most law-abiding whites.

But, seriously, Tom Sawyer does have a good point about single mothers and crime. If crime statistics are corrected to account for single motherhood, the difference between white and black crime rates disappears.

No, he doesn't, and frankly, neither do those getting into the origins of black criminality. The point is whether black criminality exists, not where it comes from.

The original point referred to Obama's statement regarding the rate of incarceration of black men, with the implication that the criminal justice system was somehow at fault, i.e., that blacks are imprisoned out of proportion to the incidence of criminal behavior in blacks.

The fact is that blacks are disproportionately incarcerated because they are disproportionately involved in crime, so the data do not support Obama's implication of any unfairness in the criminal justice system. Why blacks are disproportionately involved in crime is another, separate issue.

Most of the reporting in America is pro-Knox. Preston has conflated the prosecuter with the "super cop" turned crime writer who was the one who originated the occult theory in the Monster of Florence case. it was not hte Knox prosecuter's theory, and he was only investigating the possible murder of a doctor who was thought to be part of that, that took place near Perugia. he doesn't live in Florence and those murders and invesigated took place back in the 80's. Preston was interrogated by the Knox prosecuter for possible planting of evidence in the investigation of this doctor possibly assocated with the MOF case. However, what you dont knnow, is Preston told the atlantic a few months later that the prosecuter was a good man and competent man, he just thought he was duped by the supercop turned crime writer who proposed the Occult theory. make sense?

I agree that it's not racist to try to understand why, especially since lefties are using higher black incarceration rates as yet another excuse to accuse us all of racism.

Two different issues:

1) Are blacks disproportionately incarcerated because they are unfairly singled out, or because they are disproportionately involved in crime?

Answer: they are disproportionately involved in crime.

2) Why are blacks disproportionately involved in crime?

We can argue about 2), once we agree on 1), but so far we've yet to achieve consensus on 1).

Another lie that TFG and Eric Holder are now pushing is that blacks get longer sentences than whites do for similar crimes. That just isn't true, and government statistics on this shows just the opposite -- blacks actually get shorter prison terms than whites for equivalent crimes on average.

I'm going to have to hunt up that study as this will be a recurring topic in the weeks ahead. But it doesn't matter, because they will stand up there and lie even with the facts against them. They might get a Pinnochio or two from the MFM at worst.

Macon Georgia has a one of the large percentage of black population in the country, like 60 percent or something, and some of "worse" public schools. the school that i went to in SC was at least 50 percent black and not considered great, but i was able to take AP classes and get college credits and it's hard to imagine a school having better teachers than I had.

619 the prosecuter never talked about Satanic cults in the Knox case. preston has made this stupid charge over and over. Preston really should be charged with obstruction of justice or defamation b/c he is essentially damaging the Knox case , somethig he clearly knows nothing about, partly b/c he had a dispute with the prosecuter in a different case, and partly to hype up his book about that case. it's real cynical in my view. this Knox case shouldn't get OJ SImpsoned by this preston guy with his spurious claims.

646 also, I learned today that Italy has granted the Knox prosecuter the green light to proceed into the investigation of the doctor (who is thought to be part of the MOF murders, possibly the guy who kept the body parts, body parts were removed with a scapel) my understanding is the Knox prosecuter got a lot of heat from the Florence judges and police when he started looking into the possible murder of this doctor, which was called a drowning. the body was exhumed and it was a different body that did not have signs of a drowning, with a much smaller waist and it had hair. the other one was bald, so the prosecuter was no some conpsiracy theorist, he simply observed it was a different body. It's been dfficult finding good unbiased reporting on this so I may even be a little confused but I think what Ace reported on this was based on what Preston was saying, trying to make it look like the prosecuter is a kook.

689 I am curious, what is "crazy" about a prosecuter having a theory that there may be some kind of occult human sacrifice secret society thing in a murder case with lots of victims and body parts removed if there is evidence that supports it? This "crazy" theory is supported by most Italians, as I understand it, and the crime writer who advanced it when he worked o on the dayn it as the "supercop" back in the day has the best selling book about the MOF case in Italy. Preston's and his Italian partner book hasn't sold well in Italy, and they seem irrationaly hostile to the other guy's theory. There are people who are Satanists right? word is in the dictionary for a reason. i think it is somewhat kneejerk to just assume a prosecuter has no evidence for his claims, especially if you have never heard the prosecuter talk about the case and present these claims.

Nerd blackface is Screech or Urkel. Big Bang Theory is about like any other sitcom where things about the characters get turned up to 11. Its a show where the nerds are the main characters so their nerdy characteristics are going to get pronounced. You wouldn't call Home Improvement, handyman blackface would you?

You're wrong about Ken Cuccinelli. It is his job as AG to defend Virginia's statutes on the books, whether he agrees with them or not (and you might have reported on that angle before you took him to task). If I were him, I would remind the electorate of that as part of his gubernatorial campaign, and recommend to the public that if they want this changed, they should take the issue up with their legislators.

Cuccinelli stands in vivid contrast to vermin like Jerry Brown, who refused to defend Prop 8 in court when he was AG, even though it was approved by the voters directly, and Ken Salazar when he was AG in Colorado, who refused to defend a state constitutional amendment prohibiting localities from adopting anti-discrimination ordinances applicable to homosexuals.

"Listen, the Snow is Falling" is a beautiful track. I have a bunch of the early records with Lennon, like "Life with the Lions" and "Live Peace in Toronto" etc, for teh masochism. Also great for parties when people stupidly dropped acid when I'm around.

Ummm, I don't think I've actually got solo LP's. The early ones with Lennon. They've got some fucked up shit on them. I have a weakness for weird shit, along with Residents, Metal Machine Music, first couple of Gong records, some other stuff that's good for putting on when people are fucked up. Hope I didn't miss you, was off listening to my fave version of Sweet Home Alabama.

956 You would have thought the HOA would have delayed until the trial but maybe they were afraid of an even bigger award if Zimmerman is convicted.
