 I didn't know this :    Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history:  Spades - King David  Hearts - Charlemagne  Clubs -Alexander, the Great  Diamonds - Julius Caesar               

 Something to think about  :shrug:                             OBSCENE SALARIES ...   THE WORK ETHIC WE INHERITED GROWING UP HAS FALLEN PREY TO THE 'WELFARE' SYSTEM’   The Cato Institute released an updated 2013 study (original study in 1955) showing that welfare benefits pay more than a minimum wage job in 33 states and the District of Columbia. Even worse, welfare pays more than $15 per hour in13 states. According to the study, welfare benefits have increased faster than minimum wage. It’s now more profitable to sit at home than it is to earn an honest day’s pay.   Hawaii is the biggest offender, where welfare recipients earn $29.13 per hour, or a $60,590 yearly salary, all for doing nothing. It is very interesting, when most areas of the budgets whether National or State are subject to cutting the welfare system seems totally immune and actually provide increased benefits almost annually.  A lot of this is the 47% that Romney referred to when running for the Presidency and that Santa Obama counted on to win the last election.    Here is the list of the states where the pre-tax equivalent “salary” that welfare recipients receive is higher than having a job:   1. Hawaii: $60,590 2. District of Columbia: $50,820 3. Massachusetts: $50,540 4. Connecticut: $44,370 5. New York: $43,700 6. New Jersey: $43,450 7. Rhode Island: $43,330 8. Vermont: $42,350 9. New Hampshire: $39,750 10. Maryland: $38,160 11. California: $37,160 12. Oregon: $34,300 13. Wyoming: $32,620 14. Nevada: $29,820 15. Minnesota: $29,350 16. Delaware: $29,220 17. Washington: $28,840 18. North Dakota: $28,830 19. Pennsylvania: $28,670 20. New Mexico: $27,900 21. Montana: $26,930 22. South Dakota: $26,610 23. Kansas: $26,490 24. Michigan: $26,430 25. Alaska: $26,400 26. Ohio: $26,200 27. North Carolina: $25,760 28. West Virginia: $24,900 29. Alabama: $23,310 30. Indiana: $22,900 31. Missouri: $22,800 32. Oklahoma: $22,480 33. Louisiana: $22,250 34. South Carolina: $21,910   As a point of reference the average Middle Class annual income today is $50,000, down from $54,000 at the beginning of the Great Recession. Hawaii, DC, and Massachusetts pay more in welfare than the average working folks earn there. Is it any wonder that they stay home rather than look for a job. Time for a drastic change. America is virtually bankrupt.                                   ____________________   Are we ‘nuts’ or what?      How do we un-do this type of stupidity on the part of      Americans?  This is pure lunacy.   But wait … it gets worse:        The salary of a retired President is $180,000 For Life.           Of course the list of other benefits is enormous.        The salary of a retired member of Congress (i.e. House           and Senate) is $175,000 For Life.  Pure stupidity!   And … It gets worse:      The salary of the ‘Speaker of the House’ is $223,000           For Life.        The salary of the Majority/Minority leaders is $193,400           For Life.   Now let’s do some comparisons:        Average salary of a teacher …….. $40,065      Average salary of a soldier           deployed in Afghanistan …….. $38,000   Now check this out compared to one of the richest members      of Congress:        Nancy Pelosi will retire as: 1.    Congress person at $175,000 For Life. 2.    She has retired as Speaker of the House at  a salary $223,500 For Life. 3.    When she retires from the Minority Leader  she will receive $193,400 For Life.      This means Nancy Pelosi one of the richest members      of Congress will eventually retire on $591,900 For Life      including FREE medical which is not available for a      US citizen … you know the taxpayers who contribute      to Pelosi’s obscene benefits.  And now understand, she      is just one of the hundreds of members of Congress      that floats in and out every year receiving these huge      benefits.   Don’t you think that just maybe we the people have found where budget cuts should actually be made?  And the US Congress at the recommendation of the Obama regime wants to cut our military capabilities but still retain their unwarranted benefits.       =

Tanker you take care of your health first. You need anything you have my number. 

Maybe this is the shot that the people need to keep the servants of the people in check. One can only hope.

Maybe this should happen a little more. Thoughts?   http://townhall.com/tipsheet/danieldoherty/2014/01/13/john-mccain-censured-byhis-own-party-n1777822
