As unemployment is on a rise, there is another case of a suicide. A 99er from Staten Island stabbed his girlfriend and two children, and then ended his own life. It's another sign that many Americans are starting to lose it. It's difficult to hear that the only places that aren't suffering are those with government and military jobs including Washington, DC, Virginia Beach, and San Antonio, Texas. Robert Curtis, political representative and advocate for the 99ers, calls Senator Harry Reid responsible and calls on him to bring Congress back from recess to pass legislation. He talks about the anticipated 99ers rally on Wall Street saying if the government can help the banks than they can help the American people.

1. K/R 14 million Americans out of work.
Another 4 million 99-ers by November.

If you are out of work.. you need to let your elected leaders KNOW!

2. Out of work is not so bad.. I don't pay for wars.
I don't pay for wall street bailouts. I don't pay for bullshit press releases from Thad Allen on behalf of BP.

I don't pay the IRS for tax on my personal labor, and Indirect tax that I don't know how it is spent.

How do I do it? I'm retired. I work only for myself. They can't tax me on my savings, and my savings remain mostly untouched because I have the time to make nearly everything for myself.

I work hard for myself, as I am the most demanding employer on Earth. I demand perfection, and if someone else can't perform as well or better than I can, they are fired on the spot..

People need to learn the basic skills that make life happy and enjoyable, and eschew this false promise of the rat race foisted upon us by the Corporatocracy that depends on people not knowing that Freedom really is free.
