In my opinion he would be plenty happy giving ALL the money back to A@E and continue living in the woods hunting duck's and spreading the word of God. Just my opinion.

See earlier fish story.

I am not sure there are too many of US that know EXACTLY what is in HIS contract. Explain to me HOW he would have THIS platform if he had not had the AE reality show series?

I am not debating his faith nor should you.  Its not about spreading the word of Faith. All we know is what he freely allowed to be printed in a publication that reaches millions. WHile appearing on a network that supports multitude of reality shows. I guess we will have to wait and see if he gives it up? Money show etc...

Society claims it wants reality. I think they are lying.

Society doesn't want reality. They want "Fluffy Cows"...Coming to you next on A&E.

Here's the type of stuff everyone is supposed to be ignoring while the media pushes social issues.

What this basically does is drive up your taxes, your cost of business, your ability to compete both in the marketplace and for capital, your ability to compete for capital equally with progressives.

Its this type of crony capitalism, facism, whatever younwant to call it that is consolidating power.

Its time to end this.

here's another addition to the pritzker abuse of our tax system.

Among the nation’s billionaires, one of the most sought-after pieces of real estate right now is a quiet storefront in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

A branch of Chicago’s Pritzker family rents space here, down the hall from the Minnesota clan that controls the Radisson hotel chain, and other rooms held by Miami and Hong Kong money.

Don’t look for any heiresses in this former five-and-dime. Most days, the small offices that represent these families are shut. Even empty, they provide their owners with an important asset: a South Dakota address for their trust funds.

on the other hand, more power to them

also of note.

Do you ever wonder why your Citibank credit card bill comes from South Dakota, and your payment goes there as well, when you know that Citibank is headquartered in New York?  It is because of a combination of federal law and 50 different state laws that allow a bank in New York to use a South Dakota address to bill a customer in California.

Many states have a usury law which limits the interest rate that a company may charge.
Most of these laws capped interest rates at 18%.  However, some states, such as South Dakota, do not have a usury law, allowing in-state businesses to charge as much interest as they want.


to me, the answer to this is MORE competition and more transparency.  companies simply can not survive without  good customers and one GOOD regulation the government did a while ago, was to have a reserves on hand law.  it has been reduced over and over and over and the difference between different types of institutions is blurred while the reserves have gone down.  i'm at the point where to heck with it, be who you want to be but you have to have at least 7% reserves on hand.  a couple of other laws would be to extend the time limit that a bank can resell a real estate loan, i.e. 5 years, instead of what it is now 30 days, and that loans can not be sold as any other commodity other than the loan itself.  this would help keep money locally and make it more difficult for banks to merge and be "too big to fail". it would also perhaps almost eliminate the need for the fed, which is really just 12 banks that loan itself money at 6% interest at our expense, ie they print the money and then loan it back to us, making interest twice.  it should be illegal.
