from each account, by the end of the year (a total of $3,000). Can I just take $3,000 from one account and leave the other two accounts alone, or do I have no choice but to take $1,000 from each account? Each IRA account is held at a different financial institution. If I am allowed to take all the money from one account, and leave the other two accounts alone, do I have to prove to those two banks that I've already taken the required funds out from a different IRA that I hold.Thank you to those who answered. For those who ask about why they're not rolled together into one account. It's primarily for diversification purposes (ie. not putting all my eggs in one basket).

Why would you evil liberals attack patriotic tea party members? All they want is, 1. Marriage with a men and women. Look how Iran treats the gays. 2. Less gov, because the private sector is the backbone of America, not Gov hacks. 3. Less rules and regulations. The big banks/hedge funds played around with cds/cdo, not your local/regional banks. 4. They want the Messiah to respect our U.S constitution. 5. Strong family values. This high divorce rate is a disgrace. ........................................ On another note, none of you libs bailed me out when I earned my finance degree from Purdue. It is amazing how some you pukes get jobs that you do not deserve, in addition, 70% of the financial pundits underperform the market and I would be 2X ® more vaulable. Anyway, the job I am doing is just for the money, which I will save over $25k just this year, excluding my paper capital gains from an oil comapny that you LIBS detest. You libs are a bunch of fakes with the hope and change BS. Get ready for a bloodbath this mid term election, with a lot of evil socialist DemocRats going down into obamas soup line.Progressive T baggers.maddox/millerThe messiah supported tarf talf

Obama Insider Former Car Czar Rattner Rats on Obama Former Obama administration car czar Steven Rattner is coming out with a new book that depicts him swashbuckling through the financial crisis and also shows Obama as "out to get" the car companies and the administration making political decisions about how to deal with bankrupt automakers GM and Chrysler. Rattner, a former New York Times reporter in Washington, made a mint as a hedge funder, became a massive Democratic donor and returned to D.C. as Obama's point man during the bailout and takeover of GM and Chrysler. He's since been ensnared in a SEC investigation into his firm's efforts to leverage political influence and favors to win government investment deals. But Rattner's working on his image. He signed up Obama golf partner and billionaire New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg as a client and now is launching his book "Overhaul" about his time in the administration. The Huffington Post got a leaked copy and there is plenty there that will play into this years' elections - especially since this is the first kiss-and-tell book from the Obama team. Key points from the article and excerpts: -When Obama was told of the plan to pay GM CEO Rick Wagoner a $7.1 million severance package after Obama ordered that he be sacked, Rattner writes: "Suddenly I felt that I was indeed in the presence of a community organizer..." -Rattner describes presidential political adviser David Axelrod coming to car meetings armed with poll data to support the takeover and Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel identify Congressmen in whose districts large Chrysler facilities were located. -"[Obama's economic team] veered dangerously close to having the government take control of the two most troubled banks, Bank of America and Citigroup." -"If his team had linked arms with the outgoing administration, as President Bush's advisers had proposed, billions of dollars could well have been saved." -Rattner says Chief of Staff Rahm Emanual dictated Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's schedule, public appearances and staff selections. -He says Obama economic advisers Larry Summers and Austan Goolsbee and FDIC Chair Sheila Bair as enemies who slowed down decision making with infighting -Rattner said Obama was frustrated with the auto companies from the start: "Why can't they make a Corolla?" he has Obama asking.

I have a 10 and 14 year old with my ex. Before we had kids we agreed that court ordered child support is only for dead beats. When we broke up, he wanted the kids but I took them. Since then, he has always told me that it was my choice to TAKE the kids and if I can't afford to raise them then send them back. That was 10 years ago. The only time he paid me child support was when he went away to college and lived over an hour drive away. I don't drive the freeway, so the only way he could see the kids would be to make two round trips over the weekend out here to get them. Needless to say he didn't see them much over the 3 years it took him to get his degree. In that case, he still didn't send me money monthly. He sent it every semester when he got his financial aid checks. Now he's done with college, and living nearby. He still doesn't give me money for the kids, but he does take care of their needs. They have full wardrobes at his house, computers, etc. He has annual passes for them to Disneyland, and he buys their school uniforms. He also keeps bank accounts that they have access to for their spending and a college investment account that they can look at and help make investment decisions on. He has taken care of his kids, but he has not paid me any child support. I know that I could have gotten it a long time ago, but I didn't really need it. The problem is now I have a 2 year old by another man who is the classic example of a deadbeat. He's older (55) and works under the table. So if I took him to court there isn't anything to get. I don't want to seem like a Royal B, but I need help. I'm living in a 1 bedroom apartment with 3 kids. I make too much to qualify for welfare, but not enough to support the kids. I know that if I took my ex to court I could get something for our kids. But is the a bad thing to do? I'm also afraid that there is a real possibility that the courts could give the kids to him. He is better off financially than me and I know he could use the fact that 3 kids in a one bedroom as ammunition. Also, he spends almost 6 - 7 days a week with our 10 year old son. I'm afraid that if the courts gave him the option he would rather live with his dad. For years my ex hasn't fought me for custody because he can pretty much see the kids whenever he wants to, and they can go over there whenever they want to. Most of the time it's not even prearranged. The kids will just call him and say come get me...and he's there....and they'll stay for days or weeks at a time. Someone told me that I shouldn't make him pay for me having a child with a deadbeat, and someone else has told me that if I need help...then I'm doing what's best for my kids regardless of how it affects him.For those who said I should have gotten a court order 10 years ago, I wouldn't have gotten anything. He was starting a new career when our child was born and he was making almost nothing for the first year. Plus since we lived together and I took the kids he may have gotten 50/50 custody. I haven't went to court, because I know if there is a custody arrangement set in stone he may get the kids. He is a good father and there is no way I can lie and/or disprove that in court.

They offered me a job for the following. This from an email they sent to me. 1. Receive payment from our customers. All check will be written in your name. All checks are US checks, no international. 2. Cashing the checks at your existing bank account. 3. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage/pay on each payment processed. 4. Forward balance after deduction of percentage/pay to any of the offices you will be contacted to send payment to. (Payment is to be forwarded by Western Union Money Transfer). You will receive 10% for every check processed in the first month. Within one month after receiving the first check you will get an extra $1,000 if you will manage to cash checks in a timely manner, also this bonus includes Internet bill, phone bill, gas/bus tickets. We will support all bills you have to pay for your Internet and cell phone. PLEASE NOTE: This bonus will apply after one month starting the day you will receive the first check. After two months of working with us, a secondary bonus will apply. You will get 15% from all our sales. If everything works as we will expect and it will, you will be able to do up to $1200 - $1300 per week + the bonus of $1,000 every month. Bonuses regarding, cashing checks are as follow: a) Cash the check same day and you will receive a bonus of $150 for each check cashed. b) Cash the check within 24 hours and you will receive a bonus of $100. c) Cash the check within 48 hours and you will receive a bonus of $50 The salary will be paid to the Representative by cashier check. The today's situation on the financial market requires us to open and fill several of these job positions within our company; the job opening is that of a Representative within the US. This opening will help our company to reduce the time it takes to receive funding from orders that we receive each month. And we offer you one of the highest incomes on the market today and the minimal expenditures of time. Presently with the number of orders we have we cannot put them on hold for fear of losing our customers, secondly we cannot cash these payments from the US soon enough, as international checks take about 28 working days to cash anywhere in Europe. We lose a lot of time and money each month because we have money transfer delays. Our clients could pay us where we want by sending checks to an US address. What we need you to do is to provide us an address where you can receive our customer checks. We need someone who can receive the money through this method of payment. Regarding the check process all you have to do is to receive the checks our customers will send to your address, take them to your bank, cash them and send the remainder amount to us after deducting all fees incurred and your commission. All fees for transferring the funds will be supported from our share. Bonuses will apply for cashing checks within 24 hours upon receiving a check. You will always take your commission upfront. We make direct contact for sales of products. Once orders are received and processed we deliver the product to our customer (usually through USPS). The customer receives and checks the product and proceeds to send the payment. We accept all forms of payment but most of our customers pay using Bank Checks and so to solve this problem and not lose any of our customers we have decided to open this new job position. This job is legal according to the U.S. legislation as it is today. Local money transfers take but a few hours, so it will give us a possibility to get customer's payment almost immediately. Is this legit?

Univeral healthcare, a very progressive tax system, same-sex marriage is legalised, and Canada's economy is doing exceptionally well, http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2012168540_canecon21.html ________________________ "The 20 world leaders at an economic summit in Toronto next weekend will find themselves in a country that has avoided a banking crisis, and where the economy grew at a 6.1 percent annual rate in the first three months of this year. The housing market is hot, and three-quarters of the 400,000 jobs lost in the recession have been recovered. The banks are stable because, in part, they're more regulated. As the United States and Europe loosened financial regulations over the past 15 years, Canada refused to do so. The banks also aren't as leveraged as their U.S. or European peers. There was no mortgage meltdown or subprime crisis in Canada. Banks don't package mortgages and sell them to the private market, so they need to be sure their borrowers can pay back the loans. "The rest of the world certainly thinks we're the model to follow," said Martin, who was prime minister from 2003 to 2006. "I've been asked by a lot of countries as to how to go about it." ________________________________ Why can't right wingers see that the USA should be left wing like Canada?

Hey all, Say I have £21,000 in a bank account abroad and I want to transfer this over to a bank in England. Would I have to pay Capital Gains Tax if I transfer within the annual allowance limit? For example would I be able to transfer £7,000 in Year 1 and then the other two £7,000 in Years 2 and 3? Does the Allowance/Capital Gains Tax work this way? Or is it an Illegal way to avoid paying tax? (The money is pretty much pure profit from selling on a permit to build houses. Also I'm a student living in England and unemployed). Thanks in advance! :)

One percent transaction tax is proposed President Obama's finance team is recommending a transaction tax. His plan is to sneak it in after the November election to keep it under the radar. This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution i. e. Banks, Credit Unions, etc.. A ny deposit you make, or move around within your account, i. e. transfer to, will have a 1% tax charged. If your pay check or your social Security or whatever is direct deposit, 1% tax charged. If you hand carry a check in to deposit, 1% tax charged, If you take cash in to deposit, 1% tax charged.This is from the man who promised that if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax. Keep your eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn. Some will say aw it's just 1%... remember once the tax is there they can raise it at will.

Dear All, I am working at this company from last six months.Just before finishing probation period all of my team members received a letter from HR with a subject "Capability meeting". Issues mentioned in the letter happened 3 months ago and were not pointed at the time. At this period we all took it as a learning curve, trying to understand system (Its company's new business where everyone is new starter).I attended the meeting two weeks ago regarding exactly the same issues and raised my concers answering all questions and explaining it to HR and Line manager, asking why these issues were not pointed out at the time when it happened so that these could be taken into account while working on system. Some mistakes done by other colleagues had big financial impact on company but their mistakes are not mentioned in the letter. As all this happened months ago it is difficult for me to remember everything and to defend myself. I raised this in front of HR and my manager that why my colleague's mistakes are not being taken into account and my manager didnt seem happy for my comments in front of HR. However I did not receive any follow up email or letter after this meeting just one more exact the same letter. Today i came to work after 6 days and found a letter from HR that i have another meeting which is "Capability stage 1 meeting" on 31st August right after bank holiday weekend where i am allowed to accompany a colleague or Union representative. I received this letter today on Saturday. Letter says that i have to attend this meeting out of my working hours. I am working night shift from 7:00 am to 7:00pm and meeting is arranged for 7:30am right after i finish my 12 hour shift. Moreover since my last meeting my manager has changed due to new structure in place but still this meeting is held with my former manager. I had same meeting already discussing same issues. My job nature has changed and company has employed more people so issues stated in the letter are no more relevant to my job. I wanted to find out what are my rights and what options do i have to stand against this unnecessary harassment from company and my former manager. We suspect that company just wants to extend our probation period at any cost and I am the first in the line.

In Japan: > free and open national and local elections which are very competitive across several parties, ruling party provides prime minister in the Diet. > national health care, full coverage at $125 per month (upper middle class income level compared to US), no rejections. > 3%-5% unemployment ongoing, during most recent US-caused recession maximum at 5.6%: http://www.tradingeconomics.com/Economics/Unemployment-rate.aspx?symbol=JPY > under 10% personal income taxes (mine are 6%, above-average income level) > 40% corporate income taxes > 22,000 licensed lawyers as a cap with little to nothing to do (0.01% of population) (while US 1,200,000 lawyers or 0.4% of population) – people solve their own problems rather than working-class leeching courts. > public transportation provided at no charge to all workers – paid by employing companies (PLUS - I have never needed nor wanted an automobile, and instead save ALL the plethora associated costs, taxes, and fees) > oligopolized, inter-cooperative banks operating under missions “to benefit society” rather than “to earn profit” (no working class gouging ATM fees) (no checking accounts to gouge workers) (low interest and generous forbearance) > setting 10% product price mark-up typically across-the-board by sellers (voluntary based on honor and missions “to benefit society”), heedless of fluctuations in demand – effectively discourages consumer price gouging. > subsidized staple food products to the end consumer, regulating ongoing fair pricing. > no abusive sin taxes (cigarettes at ~$3 a pack since 1997, exact same brand price at ALL vendors). > most equitable wage distribution in the world ([a] of course extracts threat of executive thievery/ [b] worst is the US and UK) (executives earn double staff salaries across the board) > lowest crime rate in the world (due to no rich class oppression) (AND only 1.8 police per 1000 people vs. 2.85 per 1000 in the US) > even the very, very few homeless in Japan WILL NOT beg – perfectly debunks vacuous accusations that socialism creates dependency, and rather displays that socialism heightens personal honor. > free to carry a beer into a theater or onto a train (just threw that in to exhibit daily freedom from fascist abuse) (Why can we do this? We can because (1) law books are logical rather than oversize for working class thievery, and (2) competition is not a forced philosophy here.) > $28 trillion in national savings ($13 trillion of which held by households): http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8UM6BU00&show_article=1&catnum=0 “As far as government debt is concerned, we should not worry about it for at least another three to four years. Accumulated government debt is very large, close to 190% of GDP, but the financial wealth of the Japanese household is 300% of GDP in gross terms. Even in net terms it is around 240%, so we still have room to finance government debt… The Japanese purchase 94% of Japanese government debt, so this is not an unhealthy situation at all. It is much healthier than the United States situation where close to 70% is being purchased by foreigners. However, the Japanese savings ratio has come down; it is below 5%, and the amount of government debt is increasing much more rapidly than savings, so we cannot have this kind of situation for long. Maybe within the next five to ten years we need to have fiscal consolidation. Within the next five to ten years we should raise the consumption tax.” - Mr. Eisuke Sakakibara (a.k.a. “Mr. Yen”) / Former Japan Minister of Finance / July 2010 ]P.S: I'm a Filipino working in Japan and I'm proud to be Pinoy.@flipperr You see, Japan is an export country. Everything here in the Philippines are mostly Japanese. Playstation = Japanese Toyota = Japanese 7 Eleven = Japanese Anime = Japanese The underpass at Makati = Japanese MRT = Japanese I wish we Filipinos would do the same thing as the Japanese, rather than hanging out with (foreign) dirty old men.@ragdefender True China is the 2nd largest economy in the world behind U.S.A and in front of Japan. But in reality, the workers in China are overworked and underpaid. But in Japan, the people there have a higher standard of living compared to people living in China.

I emailed someone about a car I saw on Craigslist for a very good price. An Infiniti G35 for 2900. She responded with the following email: "First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my car. I sell it at this price ($2,900 ) because the car belonged to my late husband, who rarely drove it because he used the company's car most of the time.After he passed away I was forced to manage all the debts. Following the financial crisis I can not afford to pay the banks and I decided to sell the car.My car is in excellent working conditions, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used is 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title. My car is located Brooklyn NY . From the beginning you have to know that for the payment I request only secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services. We will use a safe payment method because I am affiliated at eBay and I have a purchase protection account.The final price that I want for this car is 2,900. I will pay for shipping and handling.If you are interested in buying it i will give you details on how to initiate the deal through eBay. I will wait your answer (if you are interested to buy) very soon." I then responded asking if I could have verification the title is clean.. she responded with: I have attached my driver license for you to see that I am a serious seller Here is how it will work: 1.First of all I will need the following details from you: - Full Name - Full Shipping Address 2. After I will receive the details from you, I will forward them to eBay. 3. After they will process your info, they will send us both invoices. 4. eBay will contact me and I will release the shipping of the car to you (the shipping will take 2-3 days). After you receive it you will have 10 days to test,verify and do whatever you need to the car . If you will buy, then I will receive the payment from eBay so that I can pick up the money. 5. If you will decide that you will not buy it, eBay will refund the money 100% and I will have the shipping company come pick up my car and you will not pay nothing for it . The shipping is free from you, so the total price you will have to pay for the car is 2,900. If you will not keep the car the money will be refunded to you (2,900) and the car shipped back on my expenses. I want to tell you that the payment will be trough bank. I think in this manner the money can be track all the time. Plus the money will stay at ebay until you receive the car, inspect it and if you decide to keep it you must confirm this to ebay and only after that the payment will be released to me. I hope i resolved everything and this transaction will go smoothly for both of us. Please confirm if you want to start the transaction. Scam? Help.

I cannot deal with her father or mother. I used to respect both of them very much but the situation is out of control. I found out around 3 years ago that I was let go from a job because of her dad. The whole time I thought he was a great father in law but then I found out he was the reason I lost my job. He and his son my wife’s brother were the reason I lost my job. They did some unethical things and I found out later I was basically the fall guy. My wife’s brother shortly thereafter her brother left his wife for another woman. He did this right before his daughters 2nd birthday. My wife and Mother in law were the ones that busted him. They took photos and turned them over to the Wife of the brother. I have expressed my disappointment to them both and told her she need to stay out of the situation. I believe now that she realized that she was wrong for what she did. The mother in law still feels she was right and to this day she as a very shallow relationship with her son. The Father in Law sided with the son and has supported him for the last 4 years. We my wife and I found out that he had also been supporting his son and his now ex-wife for many years before their split. We found out that he has given or placed in there bank account every month an allowance of about 2000 a month. My wife and I have been struggling for the last 4 years. My family has helped us out all they can but want to do more. Her family has done very little. Let me make one thing clear. I do not want their money (they are very well off). My wife has a trust fund; supposedly my father in law set aside money for my wife when he sold a beach house in my wife’s name. wife’s brother received a new airplane to replace his smaller plan. My wife’s great aunt passed away and supposedly left her 20 grand. I just found out that my wife has decided to put that up for our kid’s education. My wife never asked on this nor will she tell me how much she received. Mean while my mother in law has moved to our town and is living in one of our houses that my wife owns and her father is paying the mortgage on. She claims she is leaving her husband my father in law and my wife’s father. She has been like this for 4 or 5 years now. They are not even legally separated. She stated that she was moving to our area to help with our kids. This was untrue. She does very little or doesn’t have time. My father in law pays all her bills. She claims that he is a control freak which may be true but she gets anything she wants. He has supported his son my wife’s brother now for 4 years. He has paid his daughters child support. His way of life. He bought him one house we know of a car and he bought him a 310 airplane to replace his single engine plane. Back in April I asked him, my father in law and my mother in law to come over. I lead the conversation with my wife there. I asked for help financially. We were not able to make our house payment so I basically got on my knees and asked for help. I was unemployed at the time. To make a long story short he said no. He went on to tell us that when we lose our house that he would pay for half the apartment that we were to find. I lost my head. I told him and his wife to get the Fuck out of my house. I know that may have been the wrong thing to say but I did. I have apologized to her mom. I shouldn’t have said it to her. She does help by watching our children once or twice a week. I found out that a few months before that the father in law bought is son that was not working another airplane larger than the 310 twin engine one he had. That’s a 1/2 million dollar airplane and the boy didn’t have a job. My wife seems to not even care about this nor does she act as if she cares about our financial situation. My wife refuses to ask for help and she wants me to continue to ask my parents to cash in their retirement. We my wife and I found out her mother are got a new boyfriend. We know the see each other in secret but yet she acts as if we don’t know when she knows we do. My wife is bothered by this but she will not talk to me. She doesn’t nor does her mother know where her brother lives except that he lives in Hilton Head Island. I believe his father has bought him a house or condo but my wife doesn’t care. This bothers me more than anything that my wife doesn’t care about this. It bothers me that my wife doesn’t talk to me about her mother dating a guy when she is still married to her father. It bothers me that we could lose our house and we can’t get any help from her family. It bothers me that her family has in my opinion screwed with our marriage. Am I wrong to think this way? Should I leave my wife which I don’t want to do? I love my kids I would lose them. I am very unhappy. Please someone give me some advice. I know that this blog or whatever is all over the place but I hope you get the jest of what I am dealing with.We are not living out side our means. I am worried about the lack of comunication from my wife. The situatuion of her family that is impeding on our marrage. Not that I am Worried about her family. I could give a f*ck about them. I want our situation better.Thanks wendy I do not know haw to answer this questions so I am doing it this way. My wifes father does not support her. He has given her very few things sinse we have been married. He has told her she was getting to fat and that he would not buy her cloths anymore be cause she is to big.

Bill Clinton signed NAFTA and issued a record number of H1b visas to displace middle class workers from their jobs. And what is Obama doing to stop any of this? The Middle Class in America Is Radically Shrinking. Here Are the Stats to Prove it "the globalism and "free trade" that our politicians and business leaders insisted would be so good for us have had some rather nasty side effects. It turns out that they didn't tell us that the "global economy" would mean that middle class American workers would eventually have to directly compete for jobs with people on the other side of the world where there is no minimum wage and very few regulations. The big global corporations have greatly benefited by exploiting third world labor pools over the last several decades, but middle class American workers have increasingly found things to be very tough. Here are the statistics to prove it: • 83 percent of all U.S. stocks are in the hands of 1 percent of the people. • 61 percent of Americans "always or usually" live paycheck to paycheck, which was up from 49 percent in 2008 and 43 percent in 2007. • 66 percent of the income growth between 2001 and 2007 went to the top 1% of all Americans. • 36 percent of Americans say that they don't contribute anything to retirement savings. • A staggering 43 percent of Americans have less than $10,000 saved up for retirement. • 24 percent of American workers say that they have postponed their planned retirement age in the past year. • Over 1.4 million Americans filed for personal bankruptcy in 2009, which represented a 32 percent increase over 2008. • Only the top 5 percent of U.S. households have earned enough additional income to match the rise in housing costs since 1975. • For the first time in U.S. history, banks own a greater share of residential housing net worth in the United States than all individual Americans put together. • In 1950, the ratio of the average executive's paycheck to the average worker's paycheck was about 30 to 1. Since the year 2000, that ratio has exploded to between 300 to 500 to one. • As of 2007, the bottom 80 percent of American households held about 7% of the liquid financial assets. • The bottom 50 percent of income earners in the United States now collectively own less than 1 percent of the nation’s wealth. • Average Wall Street bonuses for 2009 were up 17 percent when compared with 2008. • In the United States, the average federal worker now earns 60% MORE than the average worker in the private sector. • The top 1 percent of U.S. households own nearly twice as much of America's corporate wealth as they did just 15 years ago. • In America today, the average time needed to find a job has risen to a record 35.2 weeks. • More than 40 percent of Americans who actually are employed are now working in service jobs, which are often very low paying. • or the first time in U.S. history, more than 40 million Americans are on food stamps, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture projects that number will go up to 43 million Americans in 2011. • This is what American workers now must compete against: in China a garment worker makes approximately 86 cents an hour and in Cambodia a garment worker makes approximately 22 cents an hour. • Approximately 21 percent of all children in the United States are living below the poverty line in 2010 - the highest rate in 20 years. • Despite the financial crisis, the number of millionaires in the United States rose a whopping 16 percent to 7.8 million in 2009. • The top 10 percent of Americans now earn around 50 percent of our national income. Giant Sucking Sound The reality is that no matter how smart, how strong, how educated or how hard working American workers are, they just cannot compete with people who are desperate to put in 10 to 12 hour days at less than a dollar an hour on the other side of the world. After all, what corporation in their right mind is going to pay an American worker 10 times more (plus benefits) to do the same job? The world is fundamentally changing. Wealth and power are rapidly becoming concentrated at the top and the big global corporations are making massive amounts of money. Meanwhile, the American middle class is being systematically wiped out of existence as U.S. workers are slowly being merged into the new "global" labor pool.
