Natural Water or Corporate Coca Cola?

Very interesting indeed! Water or Coke? We all know that water is important but a direct comparison is something I’ve never seen.

WATER
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

2. The thirst mechanism is so weak in 37 percent of Americans that it is often mistaken for hunger.

3. MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 30%.

4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

And now for the properties of COKE

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.

3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

For Your Info
1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.

2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.

3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

Now the question is, would you like a glass of water or coke?

The Military Industrial Complex: Is it the biggest welfare program of them all?

The military-industry complex is not the biggest government welfare program of all time. It might be second, and like the biggest welfare program, the military-industrial complex is welfare for the rich, the 1 percent. Such corporations as General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin rely heavily on government spending to keep their profits soaring, their dividends rising and their share prices climbing. The 1 percent owns most of their shares.

That’s why the United States has a bloated military that is greater in size than the next nine largest military’s in the world combined, although some analysts suggest the US spends more on its military than the rest of the world combined. That’s likely.

At the peak of the US conquest of Iraq, the US had somewhere in the vicinity of 150,000 mercenaries earning over a $100,000 each. The government called these mercenaries “contractors,” as if they had been contracted to erect buildings. No, these were just mercenaries that had signed contracts to be US mercenaries. If you count these folks, it is likely the US spends more on its military than all other nations in the world.

Income redistribution from the 99 to the 1 percent. That’s what military spending is all about. Tax money, the blood of working Americans, government lies, they’re all redistributed to the rich.

The Republican Plan to Help America’s Children

The Republican plan for the youth of the 99 percent. On the other hand, about 80 percent of Democrats in congress, such as Wall Street Senator Ron Wyden, vote with Republicans on things that benefit the 1 percent at the expense of the 99 percent. By the way, Wall Street’s President Barack Obama likes to vote with Wyden.

Are We In the USA Better Off Than Four Years Ago?

Everybody with half a brain knows we in the US are better off than four years ago. The US was on the verge of an economic collapse four years ago, thanks to Republican policies. The policies of President Obama and the Federal Reserve saved the day. Under the Republican plan, which Wall Street Mitt the Twit Romney and his running mate Paul “Complete Idiot” Ryan plan to resurrect, the US economy was on the verge of a complete collapse, like during the Great Depression.

On the other hand, the US remains on the verge of collapse and Obama and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke have no intention of doing anything about it. And it’s worse than I make it out to be. With over 93 percent of all US income growth going to the 1 percent, it’s only a matter of time before the economy continues to collapse.

Only the federal deficit, the Great Society programs like food stamps, and the New Deal (Social Security, unemployment insurance, etc…) have kept demand at a high enough level to stop the coming Great Collapse.

Mitt Romney Wants to Redistribute More Income From the 99 to the 1 Percent Via His Tax Plan

According to a study by the Brookings Institute, if Mitt Romney were to become president and implement his plan to reduce tax rates by 20 percent while eliminating tax deductions in order to pay for it, taxpayers with more than $200,000 would experience a tax cut. But everyone else — 95 percent of Americans — will see their taxes increase. And this result occurs even assuming that Romney would eliminate tax deductions so as to make the tax as progressive as possible:

What the Brookings Institute is telling us is simple; Romney plans to redistribute income from the 99 to the 1 percent via his tax plan. There’s something stinkier here than meets the eye.

Romney is a thinly disguised Social Darwinian. To him, if you’re rich, you’re better. Everybody else is a lesser human being. Apparently, it has not occurred to Wall Street Mitt that being born with a silver spoon in your mouth, like he was, doesn’t make you a good business person, or a better person. It just means you’re born with connections and a plethora of advantages poor and middle income people aren’t blessed with. And more importantly, Wall Street Mitt isn’t intelligent enough to understand that just because a person can become president and pass legislation through congress that redistributes income from the 99 percent to himself and his rich buddies doesn’t make the rich the superior people; in reality it makes them parasites, the lowest of the low, somewhat similar to maggots. You can’t get much lower than that, and that’s something that “Parasite Wall Street Mitt Romney” is too stupid to understand.

Below is a quote from a study by the Tax Policy Center of the Brookings Institute.

“To estimate how average household tax burdens among different income groups would change as a result of this shift, we assume that the available tax expenditures are curtailed “from the top down” in order to make the tax plan as progressive as possible…Even after eliminating all available tax expenditures for households earning more than $200,000, this group still faces a net tax break. Americans making over $1 million would see an increase in after-tax income of 4.1 percent (an $87,000 tax cut), those making between $500,000 and $1 million would see an increase of 3.2 percent (a $17,000 tax cut), and those making between $200,000 and $500,000 would see an increase of 0.8 percent (a $1,800 tax cut).

Because taxpayers above $200,000 as a group have received a net tax cut, revenue neutrality requires that taxpayers below $200,000—about 95 percent of the population—experience a tax increase.”

On Behalf of the 99 Percent; Attack of the Ice Cream Master!

Ben Cohen is the co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. He’s also a financial backer of the Occupy movement. Cohen says he is helping to launch “a campaign this summer to highlight the influence of corporate money in American politics.”

“Cohen and the Move to Amend advocacy group will distribute rubber stamps with anti-corporate election spending messages so that the politically minded can mark their dollar bills. The end goal: To secure a constitutional amendment saying corporations do not enjoy the same protected rights as individuals and that money is not a form of speech.”
