How Unions Work - Las Vegas Hookers Unions

A dedicated Teamsters union worker was attending a convention in Las Vegas and decided to check out the local brothels.

When he got to the first one, he asked the Madam, "Is this a union house?"

 "No”, she replied, "I'm sorry it isn't."

 "Well, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"

"The house gets $80 and the girls get $20,” she answered.

Offended at such unfair dealings, the union man stomped off down the street in search of a more equitable, hopefully unionized shop.

His search continued until finally he reached a brothel where the Madam responded, "Why yes sir, this is a union house. We observe all union rules."

The man asked, "And, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"

 "The girls get $80 and the house gets $20."

"That's more like it!" the union man said. He handed the Madam $100, looked around the room, and pointed to a stunningly attractive green-eyed blonde.

"I'd like her," he said.

"I'm sure you would, sir," said the Madam. Then she gestured to a 92-year old woman in the corner, "but Ethel here has 67 years seniority and according to union rules, she's next.'"

NOW YOU KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE: AUTO INDUSTRY, EDUCATION, GOV'T UNIONS, AND THE SENIORITY SYSTEM IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE!

History Lesson on Your Social Security Card

History Lesson on Your Social Security Card 

Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this.
It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts.

Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.

An old Social Security card with the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message.
Our Social Security

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be
Completely voluntary,
No longer Voluntary


2.) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
Incomes into the Program,
Now 7.65% on the first $90,000


3.) That the money the participants elected to put
into the Program would be deductible from
their income for tax purposes each year,
No longer tax deductible


4.) That the money the participants put into the
independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the
general operating fund, and therefore, would
only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and,
Under Johnson the money was moved to
The General Fund and Spent


5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed
as income.

Under Clinton & Gore
Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
now receiving a Social Security check every month --
and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put
away' -- you may be interested in the following:

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the
independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the
general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically
controlled House and Senate.

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax
deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the
'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the US

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Q: Which Political Party decided to start
giving annuity payments to immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:
A: That's right!

Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,
began to receive Social Security payments! The
Democratic Party gave these payments to them,
even though they never paid a dime into it!

------------ -- ------------ --------- ----- ------------ --------- -----

Then, after violating the original contract (FICA),
the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!  Don't be a political dummy.....get educated and vote responsibly!

The True Meaning of Service

A friend sent this to me today and I love it so I had to share.....enjoy

I became confused when I heard the word "Service" used with these agencies:

Internal Revenue 'Service' 
U.S. Postal 'Service' 
Telephone 'Service' 
Cable TV 'Service' 
Civil 'Service' 
State, City, County & Public 'Service' 
Customer 'Service' 

This is not what I thought 'Service' meant. 

But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to 'Service' a few cows. 
BAM!!! It all came into focus. Now I understand what all those agencies are doing to us. 

I hope that you are now just as enlightened as I am.

Think When You Vote in November

 

Paradoxical  Quote of The Day From Ben Stein:


"Fathom the  hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are  insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen."
Now add this,  "Many of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will  receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance  because they are citizens."

 
Think  about it when you vote in November..!

FIFTY YEAR OLD MANURE SPREADER - $1 ( WASHINGTON, DC )

Fifty-year old manure spreader. Not sure of brand. Said to have been produced in Kenya. Used for a few years in Indonesia before being smuggled into the US via Hawaii. Of questionable pedigree. Does not appear to have ever been worked hard. Apparently, it was pampered by various owners over the years. It doesn't work very often, but when it does it can sling shit for amazing distances. I am hoping to retire the manure spreader this November. I really don't want it hanging around getting in the way. I would prefer a foreign buyer to relocate the manure spreader out of the country. I would be willing to trade it for a nicely framed copy of the United States Constitution.

Location: Currently being stored in a big white house in Washington, D.C.

Another Economic Stimulus Payment

I don't know that this is a 'for sure'....but I thought we'd better have a little economics lesson in case it does happen...... Sometime this year, we taxpayers will again receive another 'Economic Stimulus' payment, well maybe.....  This is indeed a very exciting program, and I'll explain it by using a Q & A format: Q. What is an 'Economic Stimulus' payment ? A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers. Q.. Where will the government get this money? A.. From taxpayers. Q. So the government is giving me back my own money ? A. Only a smidgen of it.. Q. What is the purpose of this payment ? A. The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy. Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ? A. Shut up. Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the U.S. economy by spending your stimulus check wisely: * If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China or Sri Lanka .... * If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs.. * If you purchase a computer, it will go to India , Taiwan or China . * If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico , Honduras and Guatemala ... * If you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea ... * If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan . * If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go to management bonuses and they will hide it offshore. Instead, keep the money in America by: 1) Spending it at yard sales, or 2) Going to ball games, or 3) Spending it on prostitutes, or 4) Beer or 5) Tattoos. (These are the only American businesses still operating in the U.S. ) Conclusion: Go to a ball game with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a yard sale and drink beer all day ! No need to thank me, I'm just glad I could be of help.

.....you could, of course, spend some of that stimulus at Supergrannys Treasures

Bowl-O-Bama...A chance to knock his teeth out

Wanna knock his teeth out? A bowling alley in Clearwater , Florida , Bowl-O-Bama,
is doing record business despite a bad economy.

The alley also reported a record number of 300 games.

Since opening in November 2010, 963 Patrons have bowled a Perfect Game,
including strikes in the warm-up frames.

This alley also has the highest bowling league average in the country, with a 237.

And that's the Senior League.  Ya gotta love those seniors!

I Am the Democratic, Republican Liberal-Progressive ' s Worst Nightmare

"I Am the Democratic, Republican Liberal-Progressive ' s Worst Nightmare.
I am a White, Conservative, Tax-Paying, American Veteran, Gun Owning Biker. That's me!  I am a Master Mason. I work hard and long hours with my hands to earn a living.

I believe in God and the freedom of religion, but I don ' t push it on others..
I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles, and drive American-made cars, and I believe in
American products and buy them whenever I can.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and not some liberal governmental functionary,
Democratic or Republican, that wants to share it with others who don ' t work!

I ' m in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!

I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer; it makes you a smart American.

I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything. Get over it!

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac or any other item, you should do it in English.

I believe there should be no other language option.

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.

My heroes are Malcolm Forbes, Bill Gates, John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and Willie G. Davidson, who makes the awesome Harley Davidson Motorcycles.

I don ' t hate the rich. I don ' t pity the poor.

I know wrestling is fake and I don ' t waste my time watching or arguing about it.

I've never owned a slave, nor was I a slave. I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks, and neither have you!

I believe if you don ' t like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country!

This is AMERICA ...We like it the way it is and more so the way it was...so stop trying to change it to look like Russia or China, or some other socialist country!

If you were born here and don ' t like it...you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you. I believe it is time to really clean house, starting with the White House, the seat of our biggest problems.

I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you ' re breaking the law, regardless of what color you are, but not just because you happen to ride a bike.

And, no, I don ' t mind having my face shown on my driver ' s license. I think it ' s good.... And I ' m proud that ' God ' is written on my money..

I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don ' t want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.

I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making ' donations ' to their cause....Get a job and do your part to support yourself and your family!

I believe that it doesn ' t take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents....

I believe ' illegal ' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think!

I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA !

If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I ' m a BAD American.

If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know...

We want our country back!

My Country.....I hope this offends all illegal aliens.

My great, great, great, great grandfather watched and bled as his friends died in the Revolution & the War of 1812. 

My great, great, great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Mexican American War. 

My great, great grandfather watched as his friends & brothers died in the Civil War. 

My great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Spanish-American War. 

My grandfather watched as his friends died in WW I. 

My father watched as his friends died in WW II.

I watched as my friends died in Vietnam , Panama & Desert Storm. 

My son watched & bled as his friends died in Afghanistan and Iraq . 

None of them died for the Mexican or any other Flag.
Everyone died for the American flag.

Texas high school students raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole,
other students took it down. Guess who was expelled...the students who took it down.

California high school students were sent home on Cinco de Mayo, because they wore T-shirts with the American flag printed on them.

Enough is enough ........
This message needs to be viewed by every American; and every American needs to stand up for America .

We ' ve bent over to appease the America-haters long enough. I ' m taking a stand.

I ' m standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the American flag.

If you agree, stand up with me and forward to everyone in your address book!!

And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message.

AMERICANS, stop giving away Your RIGHTS!

Let me make this clear! THIS IS MY COUNTRY!

Why Mitt Romney is Unlikable

Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney:

1. Drop-dead, collar-ad handsome with gracious, statesmanlike aura. Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.

2. Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her, including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS.

 

3. No scandals or skeletons in his closet. (How boring is that?)

4. Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice" when necessary.

5. Highly intelligent. Graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School...and by the way, his academic records are NOT sealed.

6. Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even in the counter-culture age when he went to college. Too square for today's America?

7. Represents an America of "yesterday", where people believed in God, went to Church, didn't screw around, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS!

8. Has a family of five great sons....and none of them have police records or are in drug rehab. But of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom, and that "choice" deserves America's scorn.

9. Oh yes.....he's a MORMON. We need to be very afraid of that very strange religion that teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, and honest.

10. And one more point.....pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans. I guess that's because he made that money HIMSELF.....as opposed to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad. Apparently, he didn't understand that actually working at a job and earning your own money made you unrelatable to Americans.

My goodness, it's a strange world, isn't it?

Now that you know about the man, Mitt Romney, take some time to get to know his VP choice, Paul Ryan.  Then take some time to research what they believe regarding our government....it's ours so it is our responsibility to check out the TRUTH so we can all vote with knowledge.

WHO STARTED THIS AND WHY?
THEY ACTUALLY  BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS THEM.


Perhaps it  is time to get out of the UN and
give the tax savings back to the  American
workers who are having to skimp and sacrifice
to pay the  taxes.

Pass this  along to every taxpaying
citizen you know, party lines irrelevant!

Government Efficiency....Story of the Night Watchman

 

 

 

Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of

a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they

created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job. Then

Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?"

So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person

to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies. Then

Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks

correctly?"

 

(This is me....are you following this? )

 

So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One

was to do the studies and one was to write the reports. Then Congress

said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created two

positions: a time keeper and a payroll officer then hired two people.

Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"

So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an

Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal

Secretary.

 

 

Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year

and we are $918,000 over budget, we must cut back." So they laid-off

the night watchman.

 

 

 

NOW slowly, let it sink in.  Seriously, you might want to read this again....

 

 

Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter...Does anybody remember the

reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY during

the Carter administration?

 

Anybody?

 

 

Anything?

 

 

 

No?

 

 

 

Didn't think so!

 

Bottom line is, we've spent several hundred billion dollars in support

of an agency....the reason for which not one person who reads this can

remember!

 

 

Ready??

 

 

It was very simple... and at the time, everybody thought it very

appropriate. The Department of Energy was instituted on 8/04/1977, TO

LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.   (OMG, what did we do?)

 

 

 

Hey, pretty efficient, huh???

 

 

 

AND NOW IT'S 2012 -- 35 YEARS LATER -- AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS

"NECESSARY" DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR. IT HAS 16,000

FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES; AND

LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!

 

 

 

(THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY, "WHAT WERE THEY

THINKING?")

 

 

 

34 years ago 30% of our oil consumption was foreign imports. Today 70%

of our oil consumption is foreign imports.

 

 

 

Ah, yes -- good old Federal bureaucracy.

 

 

 

NOW, WE HAVE TURNED OVER THE BANKING SYSTEM, HEALTH CARE, AND THE AUTO

INDUSTRY TO THE SAME GOVERNMENT?

 

 

 

Hello!! Anybody Home?

 

 

 

Signed....The Night Watchman

(This is me again....I am begging.....pleeeeze pay attention to what is happening to US....pay attention to and KNOW who you decide to vote for this year.  The freedom and quality of our lives depend on it.)

Old Butch...Vote Carefully

My dear friend (fleapirates) sent me a story this morning that should be read, thought about, and read again.  This is a learning moment for everyone.....seriously.....I'm not joking at all....you might think its funny but when you spend some time musing on it.....YIKES...it's true.......?

Old Butch

John was in the fertilized egg business.
He had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets,' and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.
He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.
This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.
Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing.

Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.

John's favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all!

When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.

To John's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring.

He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.

John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Saint Lawrence County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well.

Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.

Vote carefully this fall, the bells are not always audible.

2012 Social Security Stimulus Package

I just got this note from my friend, Suz......(not OLA Sue)

"Hey, SG,


Today I received my 2012 Social Security Stimulus Package.

It contained two tomato seeds, cornbread mix, a prayer rug, a machine to blow smoke up my ass, 10 discount coupons to KFC and an "Obama Hope and Change" bumper sticker.

The directions were in Spanish.

Hope you get yours soon."

I'll bet if you're retired you'll be just as excited as I am....what do you think?

Chicago Rules

It matters not which political party affiliation you profess to be a part of
but if either side is insistant on telling 'Big Windy Stories' they should
be called out for them. 

As we get closer and closer to the 2012 election, it's

important to remember The Rules we play by. The

Rules are taken from the Chicago playbook of rules

where they are simply known as... Chicago Rules.

Chicago Rules are illustrated by the six photographs

below:

Rod Blagojevich is the former Illinois Governor who tried to sell

Obama's seat in Congress.

Obama was asked by the press if he had ever met Gov. Rod
Blagojevich. He replied: "I only saw Rod Blagojevich one time
... And that was in the stands and from a distance at a Chicago
Bears Football Game."
Of course, you can believe him - he's our President

The picture below? That's irrelevant.

Rod Blagojevich, Barack Obama, and Richard Daley during a rally
in Chicago , April 16, 2007. (Photo: Reuters) Note: Rahm
Emanual has replaced Daley as Mayor! And Daley's brother has
replaced Rahm as a chief adviser to the president. But you don't
need to know all this.

Rham, the new Mayor of Chicago


You have to understand "the world according to Chicago."
Chicago is almost a completely different country when it comes to
politics. Chicago even has a different set of morals and language.
There are three rules and a Prime Directive.
RULE #1. No matter what you see, hear, or do -- you don't know
anybody & you know nothing!
RULE #2. If you capture something on tape or camera -- it
reveals nothing!
RULE #3. If you know what everybody else in Chicago knows --
you still know nothing.

The PRIME DIRECTIVE ...No matter what the vote,
Democrats win the election.

Now pay close attention!

It's very simple. Remember, you know nothing.

These two? They never met! Obama said they didn't..

These two? Who are they?

The guy on the left? He's Santa Claus. And the guy on the
right.... he's the Easter Bunny! That's all you need to know.

These two? Don't ask.

Remember Jimmy Hoffa? He knew too much. Where is he now?
Don't ask.

Do you understand? Don't look at these pictures! Remember,
you've already forgotten them.....

Do you understand? They don't know each other and they never
met!
How is that possible? BECAUSE OBAMA SAID SO!
And - don't - you - fergit - it! as a wise old
Cartoon Character used to say!


(By the way... how's that "Hope and Change" working out for
you?)
