A Mass Exodus for American Millionaires

The Strange Disappearance
of 800,000 American Millionaires

Since 2007 the number of U.S. millionaires fell by 800,000. Yet, over 3,800,000 new millionaires suddenly appeared in other countries!

Why are Americans getting poorer as others are getting richer? The answer may surprise you…

A recent study on U.S. wealth by the Spectrem Group concluded there were 8.4 million American millionaires at the end of 2010.
That’s 800,000 less than in 2007!
You might think the real estate bust explains the disappearance of these 800,000 millionaires… but that isn’t the whole story.
And that’s why this phenomenon has begun making headlines…
Millionaires go missing!
But there’s something peculiar happening that isn’t mentioned in any of these stories…
The number of millionaires in other parts of the world soared by 3.8 million over the same time.
So why is the wealth of Americans vanishing while the rest of the world gets richer?
That’s what you’ll discover over the next ten minutes. I’ll also show you where American millionaires are reappearing… why they are now happier and wealthier than ever… and how you can join them, no matter how much money you have.
Frankly, I believe what I’m about to tell you will change your life forever...
Why the Greatest Wealth Migration in
U.S. History Has Begun
If you’re like most of us you’ve worked your whole life and paid more than your fair share of taxes…
But what do you really get in return? Let me show you…
You get an unfair tax system where 51% of Americans paid ZERO taxes in 2009… leaving the rest of us to shoulder nearly 82% of the federal tax burden.  
You get an overbearing government that has the nerve to spy and pry into your private life, a brazen violation of the U.S. Constitution.
And you get the dollar’s collapse - in effect a hidden tax - that has destroyed the average American’s spending power.
Just take a look at this chart… it’s plain as day:
chart
The dollar’s demise has contributed to health care costs jumping 25%... food prices rising 14% and the cost of gasoline zooming up from $2 to $3.75 a gallon in the past five years alone.
In short, everything we buy costs more and more every year. And it’s important you take action to stop the bleeding now.
As many regular Americans have begun to do…
A Mass Exodus from America
It’s estimated that over 6.5 million Americans are leaving (or plan to leave) the country each year.
According to a Zogby Research study, a massive and silent migration is underway. Families are packing their bags… and leaving America at the rate of 742-per hour!
They realize they have to take matters into their own hands to find opportunities that no longer exist here in America.
A 2008 US News & World Report article confirms, “A wave of native born citizens are going abroad in search of new challenges, opportunities, and more congenial ways of life.”
Some are seeking full-time residences… others find part-time tropical vacation homes where they can live like royalty for $20,000 a year… while some move their businesses to slash their taxes.
As you may have heard…
The late Sir John Templeton – a self-made billionaire – jumped ship in 1962 to become a citizen of The Bahamas, and the United Kingdom.
For good reason… It’s estimated that he saved $100 million in U.S. taxes when he sold the well-known international investment fund that still bears his name.
But he’s not the only well-known American who left for greener pastures…
John (Ippy) Dorrance III, heir to the Campbell Soup fortune found shelter in Ireland…
J. Mark Mobius, a leading emerging market investment fund manager went to Germany…
The head of Carnival Cruise lines, Ted Arison, came to the US in the 50s but reclaimed his Israeli citizenship because of estate taxes…
And the heir to the Dart Container fortune left for Belize…
But what most people don’t know is…
It’s not just the super-rich abandoning ship. Everyday, middle-class folks – who’ve enjoyed some success in life, are following in their footsteps.
Martin Feldstein, chairman of President Reagan’s Council of Economic Advisers, now a Harvard economist, says: "Individuals can avoid unfavorable taxes by migrating to jurisdictions that offer more favorable tax conditions”
And that’s exactly what’s happening.
The recent U.S. Census reports that in 2010, the number of Americans who gave up their U.S. citizenship doubled from the year before!

Is FOX News changing sides?

The reason that obama will get re-elected is not because of his job performance, but because the Republicans can't get their ducks in a row. The party is split between the old guard/RINO's and the more educated up and comers/Teaparty. However, with that said, he will be working as clinton did with a Republican House and Senate. Until the Republicans smell the coffee and read the writing on the wall, I have little faith or support for either. 
 The Polls out there can be skewed anyway they want you to see them and even FOX gets caught up in it but for the very reason I have given above. Here is a slam against them to keep things fair and balanced;
imageFox News gets accused by the far to the socialist left in the United States for being too far to the right; but perhaps sometimes, especially of late, and long since Rupert Murdoch has climbed into bed with the Saudis, it definitely appears that the once staunch conservative network is scratching backs at the other end.
On Friday, May 20, 2011, a story on FoxNews.com by Dana Blanton titled, “Fox News Poll:  Voters Say Country in Worse Shape, Still Expect Obama Will Prevail in 2012” made a lot of heads turn saying, “Huh?” 
It seems to me that the only ones who are not affected by the outrageous conditions and actions of this Administration are those who are so indebted to Obama for his giveaway programs that their support is an automatic given. This bloc represents about one fourth of our voting population; mainly blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, welfare rolls, non-educated, and dichotomously, the academia pinheads along with a sprinkling of seniors.
Large numbers of individuals in these cliques could see their Obama giveaways dissipate should politics swing in an opposite direction.
Many of these dependents on the largesse of the Administration are at risk of becoming too closely identified with Obama and his profligacy with taxpayers’ dollars and could be on the short end of things should a massive reversal of political fortunes occur at any given time. 
Enormous numbers of voters are taxpayers who have begun to feel the sting of Obama’s costly programs through increased taxes or cuts in areas that his Administration has pared back in services.  With this in mind it is why I wonder if the FoxNews.com poll may have been heavily concentrated in the Detroit or Washington, DC area where the numbers of Obama supporters are draconian and extreme, to use two descriptive words oh so familiar to liberal Democrats. 
If a poll was conducted with an aim of tilting it in a certain direction there are different ways of doing the canvassing for opinion votes.  To get a favorable opinion vote for a particular individual, greater emphasis would be made in areas where that particularindividual was overly popular and favored.  Conversely, the opposite results would occur if the poll was conducted in these same areas should his opponent be the subject of the polling.
And there are other ways of “fudging” polls to make a certain point, mainly in the art of language deflection or favorably using certain flattering word descriptions in the pollquestion or interrogation; or confusing the subject matter of the question to where it is too difficult to intelligently respond.
But with all the negatives that Obama has created with his performances primarily in foreign lands where he has decried and denigrated the country that made him aninstant rags to riches millionaire, while lauding radical Islam and its people who provide and represent the greatest source of militant enemies to our people, how could any true American honestly vote to return this man to the office of the presidency?
And the still not definitely answered question of his eligibility to even hold that office is a detriment that should give any intellectually minded person second thoughts for such an important position.  His constant actions and words reflect an undermining of our positions in world affairs along with surrendering many of our rights to the corrupt and greedy United Nations, who overwhelmingly out vote us in that chamber.
His cavalier and often denigrating treatment to some of our most loyal and persevering foreign nation friends such as Israel and Great Britain only help to cause strained and restive relations with these steadfast partners.
Obama jokes about the efforts of what his people sneeringly call the “birthers”, a title meant to imply a laughable and derisive element to honest seekers of the truth of his heavily secretive and secluded personal facts and data all under deep seated lock and key and covered by millions of dollars to remain that way. 
JUST WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF AND HIDING, MR. OBAMA?  WHY CAN’T YOU BE OPEN AND HONEST INSTEAD OF STEALTHILY PILING ON OBSTACLES TO SECUREYOUR DIRTY SECRETS?
This FoxNews.com poll commented on by Dana Blanton is among early signs of Fox News’ slippage to the left and support for Obama.  Ms. Blanton herself leads her coverage with an oxymoronic note saying, “Despite a majority believing the country is in worse shape than it was four years ago, American voters—by a wide margin—think President Barack Obama will be re-elected in 2012”
Pardon me for my cynicism, but I rather doubt that with a majority believing the country is in worse shape than four years ago would vote to re-elect the culprit most responsible for that condition.  I just flat out reject that notion.  We do have a lot of stupid people in this country; that was proven in 2008 when 70 million voted for Obama; but surely, at least HALF of those have come to realize that we are in suicide mode by thinking Obama reelection in 2012.
I just conducted a poll of one and it stated: “No Obama in 2012.”

muslim/Jewish contributions to the world

Well this about sum's it up! They are just a waste of expensive real estate and they have the tamarity to DEMAND we respect them? What a joke.

The Jews are NOT promoting brain washing children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims!
The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants. There is NOT one single Jew that has destroyed a church. There is NOT a single Jew that protests by killing people.
The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.
Muslims must ask 'what can they do for humankind' before they demand that humankind respects them!!
Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel 's part, the following two sentences really say it all:
'If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence.
If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel '.

We seriously owe Obama a Thanks!

Well maybe we should take a look at this political travesty from another point of view. If you really think about it, after how pelosi said she was going to drain the swamp of all Washington corruption! What a joke, now she adamantly defends them! Well between her and Obama, we owe them quite alot as you will now see!
That is right – I will say it again - - THANK GOD FOR BARACK OBAMA!!!

Guess which lips are pelosi's?

He single handedly destroyed the Clinton Political Machine – Driving a stake thru the heart of Hillary’s Presidential aspirations – something no Republican was ever able to do. Remember when a Hillary Presidency scared the daylights out of you!
He single handedly killed off the Kennedy Dynasty – No more Kennedy’s trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home. American women and Freedom are safer tonight!
He is single handedly destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes!
Dennis Moore had never lost a race – quit
Evan Bayh had never lost a race – quit
Byron Dorgan – had never lost a race – quit
Harry Reid – bid for re-election doesn’t look good
These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed! By the end of 2010 dozens more will be!
In December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles they had picked up 14 senate seats and 52 house seats. The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party.
In one year Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the house, if not the senate back to the Republicans.
He has single handedly completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they really are. Every Generation seems to need to relearn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. He is bringing home the lesson very well!
Liberals tax, borrow and spend – check
Liberals won’t bring themselves to protect America – check
Liberals want to take over the economy – check
Liberals think they know what is best for everyone – check
Liberals aren’t happy till they are running YOUR life - check
He has single handedly brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan
In One year he rejuvenated the Conservative movement and brought out to the streets millions of Freedom Loving Americans
Name me one other time in your life that you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America !
 In all honesty one year ago I was more afraid than I had ever been in my life. Not of the economy but of the direction our country was going. I thought Americans had forgotten what this country was all about. My neighbors, friends, strangers proved to me that my lack of confidence of the Greatness and Wisdom of the American people was flat out wrong.
 When the American People wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them!
Barack Obama woke up these Great Americans.
Again I want say Thank you Barack Obama!

DumbASS of the Year!

Well folks the end of another decade has passed! Looking back over the last 10 years with all that has happened could make it very hard to find a winner out of all the candidates for the "DUMBASS of the YEAR" award. However the hardest part was made easy since the election. It narrowed it down to 1 year instead of the other 9! There was no shortage of candidates from Sen. Boxer chiding a 5 star General for calling her ma'am, which they are trained to do, to Pelosi who just cried over TV networks blaming George Bush for the 2010 elections that won't happen for another 11 months! Even so we have found 1 that stands out above the rest and here she is and why:

Yes, Janet Napolitano, DEMOCRAT from Arizona

For listing Tea Party protester, southern Christians and returning members of the military as potential domestic terrorist and right-wing extremists… you are a dumbass.
For renaming the ongoing War on Terror as an Overseas Contingency you are a dumbass.
For dropping the word terrorism from the government lexicon… you are a dumbass.
For saying that the terrorist attack on 9/11/01 was really a man-caused disaster you are a dumbass.
For claiming that ILLEGAL immigration is not a crime you are a dumbass.
For declaring that the Canadian boarder was more dangerous than the Mexican boarder you are a dumbass.
For stating that the Muslim Terrorist attacks on 9/11 came from Canada…you are a dumbass.
For allowing the spread of Swine Flu by not testing travelers from Swine Flu ground zero in Mexico you are a dumbass.
For comparing a fence along the US southern boarder to the Berlin Wall you are a dumbass.
For claiming that Homeland Security's system worked when all could see it failed you are a dumbass.
For walking back your system worked comment with system failed you are a dumbass.
Janet for you just being you… you are a dumbass.
 So congratulations Janet Napolitano!! You are the official 2009 http://www.stiffroot.com/ Dumbass of the Year! Deserving of awards and accolades to have failed so much in one short year you are the winning loser!

Latest Gallup Poll

Well folks we all agree that something has to be done about our health-care system but nobody can agree on what! I informed you all in a previous blog the best answers but nobody listens! Here is the latest news on disagreeing sides! At the bottom is a link that we can all agree on and is free to click on, no sign ups, and no spam so please use these links to help our planet, animals and people, it will be your good deed for the day! They are at the bottom of all my blogs from now on. Thx so much!

Fifty-Three Percent of Americans Now Disapprove of Obama's Handling of Health-Care Issue, Says Gallup Poll!

 President Barack Obama waves as he exits Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, Thursday, Nov. 19, 2009. (AP Photo/Cliff Owen)(CNSNews.com) – A majority of Americans--53 percent--now disapprove of the way President Obama is handling the health care issue, and 49 percent want their members of Congress to vote ‘no’ on Obama’s government-led restructuring of the health-care system, according to a Gallup poll.


 The report, released Monday, shows that only self-identified Democrats support the plan, with strong majorities of both Republicans and Independents opposing the president.


 Gallup initially asked respondents which way they wanted their representatives to vote on health care reform. Forty-two percent said their congressman should vote "no" while only 35 percent said their congressman should vote in favor of the bill. Another 22 percent were undecided.


 When those undecided respondents were pressed to say whether they "leaned" towards either a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ vote, the gap between support and opposition tightened--with 49 percent saying they either leaned toward or desired a ‘no’ vote from Congress, while 44 percent said they either leaned toward or wanted a ‘yes’ vote on health reform.


 The poll comes on the heels of a narrow Obama victory in the House, where Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) barely pushed through her version of the reform with only two votes to spare 220-215--218 votes were needed for passage. That victory did not move public opinion toward favoring the bill, Gallup found, as public support for the measure continued to decline.


 The results were based on a Nov. 20-22 USA Today/Gallup poll, and are essentially unchanged from a poll conducted earlier this month, Gallup reported.


 Those declining fortunes are bipartisan, as support for Obama’s health reform has declined steadily since early October, the last time Gallup found that a majority of Americans – 51 percent – supported it.


 Support among all three party groups has declined since the early October high -- falling by 6 points among Democrats, 8 among independents, and 12 among Republicans.


 More than three-quarters (76 percent) of Democrats – the only group that still supports health reform – want Congress to pass a bill. Independents and Republicans both oppose the plan by strong margins. Among Republicans, 86 percent said they would advise their representatives to vote against the bill, along with 53 percent of Independents. Only 37 percent of Independents want their members of Congress to support a reform bill, with 16 percent undecided.


Obama Losing Support on Health Care


 A majority of Americans also disapprove of the way President Obama is handling the health care issue, providing further evidence of eroding support for the president and his primary policy goal and suggesting that his vaunted charisma may not be enough to sell the public on the lynchpin of his domestic agenda.


 Fifty-three (53) percent of the public disapproves of Obama’s handling of the health-care issue, while only 40 percent approve – down from a mid-summer high of 44 percent approval. Opposition has grown over that time, climbing four percent between mid-August and late-November.


“This is slightly more negative than what Gallup found from July through September, and represents his worst review to date on this issue,” the poll concluded.
 Though Democrats are the only group still supporting Obama on the health-care issue, even their support has fallen and fewer Democrats support Obama on health care than support him on other policy issues.


 Seventy-four (74) percent of Democrats approve of Obama's handling of the issue, but this is below the better-than 80 percent of Democrats who approve of the job Obama is doing as president overall.


 Republicans and Independents, meanwhile, both overwhelmingly oppose the president, with independents opposing Obama by nearly 2 to 1.

 GOP members are nearly unanimous in their views of Obama's work on health care, with 89 percent disapproving and 6 percent approving. Independents are nearly twice as likely to disapprove (58 percent) as to approve (33 percent.)” According to Gallup, the poll has never found a “strong public mandate” in favor of health reform since it began polling on the issue. The highest support it has ever found was 51 percent in October, a number which has fallen steadily since!
