New Jersey Continues to Lead in America's Race to the Bottom

In addition to the massive unfunded liabilities New Jerseyans face for their lavish government employee retirement programs New Jerseyans are now faced with the prospect of a bankrupt Atlantic City.

A testament to the evil incompetence that Crony Capitalism leads to. All of America should pay heed to the results of this government run economic development effort.

As a business financial planner For the past 30 years I have watched the rise of crony capitalism as government increasingly controlled economic development efforts; the results are the decline and decay we see and feel all around us today.

To the degree possible we need to get government out of the markets. America works best when Governments role is regulating the 'field' the markets,  evenly. Not manipulating the markets and picking the winners and losers behind closed doors. That is a tenant of fascism.  

We need to reach the young minds, todays teens and 20 somethings, where their interests are, technology and games. Help me reach out and spread the truth of Christian history and the battles and perils of fighting fascism throughout the ages. After all at the core,  it was fascists that ruled Rome and murdered Jesus. (the term fascism actually comes from ancient Roman times, the Fasces, the Roman symbol of collectivism and power. )

It is fun tech, Spacey even, and lots of info on the new business financing laws too.  If you think the bankers are a big part of the problem, the new series of laws will help put them in their place.

That is if Americans rally around freedom, otherwise we are toast.

By the way, the new investment laws called the JOBS ACT of 2012 create a lot of new opportunities for small investors too, opportunities to invest in startups.  Very big changes that everyone should know about.

One last thought, you might like this old adage I like to use

'Doing something, does something.'

Press On!

REVOLUTION Crowdfunding; Taking on Big Banks and Big Corporations. The New Free Market.


Solving our problems in America seems daunting at best. Our Corporatist leaders have created a society of  "Mega" Corporations and Crony Government, a structure more akin to fascism than free market capitalism. A slave state is emerging and we know it.  

A SOLUTION RISING!

A new version of an old economic freedom is taking root all around the world. It's loosely called crowd funding. An age old concept reinvigorated by the Internet.   You may have heard of Kickstarter or possibly Indiegogo. These are two of the better known businesses in the new Internet powered arena loosely called "crowd funding".

The term applies to a broad spectrum of financial activities and is dramatically changing finance laws. In fact the JOBS Act of 2012 is all about the concept of Crowdfunding and formally adopted the word crowdfunding as a legal term.   But as it applies to these two examples above, people are giving away their money and that is legal. They are paying in advance and doing so in the form of a donation. They may receive a perk such as a new product or tickets to a performance but in essence they are giving away their money and may receive a perk or spiff at some point in the future.

Take this example, this is a 60 day long campaign that a fellow in Portland started to raise $50,000.oo. Enough money to produce a volume run of manufacturing his new version of a beach cooler. It is called the Coolest Cooler project and it is hosted on the platform Kickstarter. This one minute video covers key points of crowd funding and some interesting applications and companies coming out of Portland ...

18  DAYS TO GO!

It is quite amazing really, with 18 days yet to go in his effort to raise fifty thousand dollars he has raise over $8.5 million dollars in donations. In effect he's made thousands of pre-sales of a product that does  not exist yet.



Here is a link to the Coolest campaign.

Yep, that is right, people are prepaying in droves to see if this guy will deliver a cool cooler to them someday down the line.
