February 2nd marks the half-way point between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox.  And, on that day in the little town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, Phil the groundhog will emerge from his burrow to determine whether Winter will continue for six more weeks or an early Spring will commence.  Not merely in Punxsutawney, but also in other locales in the United States, Canada, and Australia will this ritual play out.


During my lifetime, there have been many Groundhog Days, more than I care to admit.  And, during that span, not one time in my recollection has Phil been unable to see his shadow (the condition necessary for the prognostication of an early Spring).  During that period, there have surely been many cloudy February 2nd’s.  In fact, on one particular Groundhog Day, the fog that morning was so thick that one could barely see his own outstretched arm, let alone see a shadow.  Yet, it was reported that Phil saw his shadow and Winter would continue for another six weeks.  From the foregoing, I can come to but one conclusion, and that is that groundhogs or their handlers are notorious liars.


At this time, in the United States, we find ourselves at another midway point.  We are midway through what has, in recent election cycles, become a two-year quest to win the Presidency of the United States.  During this period, Presidential aspirants burrow out from wherever they have been hibernating, test the political climate, and make a decision as to whether or not to seek the Presidential nomination of their political party.  Unlike Punxsutawney Phil, their ultimate decisions are not predictable.  Like Phil, however, there is a good deal of prevarication in their messages.


In recent Presidential election cycles, success has followed a relatively simple formula.  First, cultivate a base of support.  Second, utilize that base to generate hundreds of millions of dollars or more of funding, thereby demonstrating to members of your party that you have the resources to be a winner.  Third, moderate your positions to broaden your appeal without alienating your base.  Elegantly simple, yet surprisingly difficult to execute, the formula has been critical to success in both securing party nominations and winning the ultimate prize, the Presidency.


The problem with the formula and the entire electoral process is that, in order to be elected, candidates must lie to the voters.  Euphemisms aside, assuming that a candidate defines himself accurately to his base, his redefinition for mass appeal must then be a fabrication.  In concrete, yet simple terms, Democrats begin by appealing to a predominantly liberal party base and  Republicans to a conservative base to secure the Presidential nomination of their respective parties.  To win the election, however, the successful candidate must hold his base while gaining the preponderance of the vote of the more moderate majority of voters in the populace at large.


In practice, this means changing positions, renouncing or explaining away previous positions, or making promises that contradict stated positions or established values.  Yet, one must assume that once elected, that individual will govern from his core principals.  What then is the general electorate to make of the reversals and promises made to win election to the highest office in the land?  In my opinion, they represent distortions of true positions at best and outright lies at worst.


And, the problem seems to be worsening over time.  As candidates “keep their eyes on the prize” in an increasingly lengthy nomination and election process, they seemingly will do or say anything in order to win.  Our Founding Fathers, I believe, would not approve.


The purpose of national elections, in my estimation, is to allow competing ideas and philosophies to be soberly debated with the electorate being the final arbiter of the direction in which our country is guided.  As candidates misrepresent or obfuscate their true positions, voters are denied the ability to make an informed decision and effectively disenfranchised.  Given those circumstances, one might just as well vote for Punxsutawney Phil.

Sound Money http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/2012/01/sound-money/ http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/2012/01/sound-money/#comments Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:31:12 +0000 Thomas Petruzzelli Sr. http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/?p=6979


The term sound money, also known as honest, strong, or hard currency relates to its value in terms of the world’s standards.  For example, when you visit a foreign country, you may be compelled to exchange your U.S. dollars for the coin of the realm if you wish to purchase goods, pay the fee to enter a museum, or do anything else that a tourist may wish to do.


This is just what I did when I traveled to Italy in 2000.  At that time, the rate of exchange was 2,000 liras to every U.S. dollar.  Thus, by exchanging 100 of my U.S. dollars, I received 200,000 liras.  For the first time in my life, I felt like a millionaire!  But when I purchased food, wine, or gifts for my family back home, I learned that the prices of these commodities were inflated, thus creating a money system that paid 2,000 liras to every one of my little ol’ U.S. dollars.


Liras or dollars, Euros or rupees, the real value of money lies in its purchasing power in the world market.  In my lifetime, I have witnessed and felt the affects of deflation and soaring inflation, and I am not alone.  Many are those who remember “the good old days” when our money went a helluva lot further than it does now.  In fact, cyberspace is abuzz with such memories, in the form of circulating e-mails concerning the prices of yesteryear.


For instance, in the 1920s, three pounds of steak cost 50 cents in a typical New York City butcher’s establishment!  And this was a retail price paid by regular consumers, not a wholesale price.  During the Great Depression, a new automobile cost $800 dollars.  Today, the average new car, not a luxury car, can run as much as 40 times more: $ 32,000!


Most of us simply accept the fact that we must pay more for the same goods that we once bought for far less.  Escalating prices are like a ladder whose summit is always out of reach, and a very familiar ladder at that.  We’ve been conditioned to accept the concept and the harsh realities of inflation.


It’s easy to blame inflation — the dwindling purchasing power of our money as reflected in the costs of goods and services — on the greed of the manufacturers.  Manufacturers are those that produce finished goods as well as those that produce merchandise, such as automotive parts, that contribute to the manufacture or assembly of finished goods.  And it would be right and just to lay blame at the manufacturers’ feet.  But where does the government come into this equation?  Are our lawmakers exempt from blame?


Some suggest that they are.  Some suggest that the American Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, states that U.S. currency is to be backed by precious metals (gold and silver).  If our government followed these guidelines, it would place limits upon the amount of paper money and coins that it printed, minted, and distributed via the Federal Reserve.  Some believe that the more money we print or mint without limitation, the more the currency could be considered counterfeit as per their interpretation of the Constitution.


When crafting this part of the Constitution, our Founding Fathers no doubt relied upon the history of gold’s stability.  From the days of the ancient Pharaohs, gold has been the one commodity, worldwide, that has never devalued.  Gold has, in fact, risen in value over the years, representing the one form of monetary exchange that has remained unshakable during times of economic flux and crisis.  So sure a bet was gold that our government kept its stores under lock, key, and guard, at the United States Bullion Depository, a fortified vault adjacent to Fort Knox, Kentucky.


On March 14, 1900, the Congress of the United States signed into law the Gold Standard Act. This, in essence, established the price of gold at $20.67 per ounce in U.S. money.  This was in force until the Great Depression.  In 1933, under the threat of a collapsing, paper money-based economy, President Franklin Roosevelt denied private gold ownership to its citizens, with the exception of jewelry.


In 1946, the Bretton Woods system was enacted to fix the exchange rate.  It allowed foreign governments to sell gold to the U.S. at the price of $35.00 an ounce; this continued until August 15, 1971.  In 1971, then-President Richard M. Nixon ceased the trading of gold at $35.00 an ounce.  For the first time in history, formal links between major world currencies and real commodities were severed. The gold standard has not been used in any major economy since.


Today, almost every country, including the U.S., is using fiat money, defined as “money that is intrinsically useless,” used only as a medium of exchange.


Doesn’t that make you feel secure knowing that your money, whether it’s stored under your mattress or in a savings account, has no worth if the economics of the country should change?  Maybe it’s time to spend that useless money for something real!  “Don’t get stuck holding a bag of useless money” may emerge as yet another quote from a White House insider.


Maybe that’s why Publishers Clearing House is giving away “A Million Dollars a Year for Life” and why President Obama is borrowing trillions of Chinese fiat dollars, because … it’s only paper!


Do insiders know what the government doesn’t want its people to know?  “The people” of course are you and me and our neighbors, the average taxpayers, the ones left holding the bag when calamity strikes.  The cold hard fact is that money used for solely exchange purposes is governed by the supply and demand of consumers.


For instance, if people stopped buying gasoline, the price of gas at the pump would dip to twenty-five cents a gallon due to the lack of demand.  If you recall just a few years ago, consumers did manage to drive down the price of gas without so much as anything as organized (or disorganized) as “Occupy Wall Street.”   The price of gas had gotten so high that many people nationwide began to carpool and also cut back on unnecessary trips by car.  The gas companies felt the pinch and thus lowered prices at the pump.  Slowly and inexorably, however, those prices have crept back up.   They did so due to supply and demand.  Once the prices went down, more people stopped carpooling and engaged in their normal driving activities; therefore, they needed (demanded) more gas!


Thus, we “the people” are doomed to be the victims of devalued currencies.  If money were to become sound once again, it would regulate prices because it would be in demand.  Until and unless it does, the guys holding the useless money — the average taxpayer — get shortchanged.  And that’s no pun.

The Simple Truth about Expanding Your Sales Volume http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/2012/01/the-simple-truth-about-expanding-your-sales-volume/ http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/2012/01/the-simple-truth-about-expanding-your-sales-volume/#comments Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:10:52 +0000 Kathleen Felleca http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/?p=6975


In this cutthroat economy, companies are tripping all over themselves in attempts to woo new customers and retain existing accounts.  They research, plan, and launch strategic marketing campaigns designed to edge out the competition through high impact websites and traditional media  But, in analyzing statistics and trends, they forget the one, key rule of advertising.


They forget that their clientele is comprised of human beings, and that every human, regardless of demographics, loves to receive something useful free of charge.  Many advertisers, therefore, overlook the immediate and long-term value of promotional items as enhancements to their marketing campaigns.  Also known as “giveaways”, these vehicles help companies market their products and services on an ongoing basis.


Now you know this simple truth, you won’t be tempted to make the same mistake as so many of your competitors.  You will, however, be searching for a company with a reputation for producing quality promotional products in a timely fashion, for a reasonable price.  Search no further than www.promopeddler.com.


Perusal of their site will prove that promopeddler.com’s range of products is extensive, spanning promotional toys, promotional apparel, promotional bags, promotional desk calendars, promotional pens, promotional candy, and more.  Arming your field sales force, retail personnel, and/or representatives at trade shows with your company’s giveaways is a sound investment.  Every time your customers reach for a pen, glance at their calendar, insert their key into their front doors, or don T-shirts to go running, your company name will be there on those items: a prominent reminder that you have what your customers need in terms of goods or services — and that you appreciate their business enough to gift them with tokens of your thanks.


Promopeddler.com is happy to create and send you a free sample of any item that you design, or have them assist you in designing, so that you can examine it firsthand instead of simply viewing it online.  There is no better time to get started on creating opportunities for new business.  There is no better time to contact promopeddler.com.

Major Laws That Go Into Effect in 2012 http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/2012/01/major-laws-that-go-into-effect-in-2012/ http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/2012/01/major-laws-that-go-into-effect-in-2012/#comments Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:51:42 +0000 Amber Paley http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/?p=6970


Nearly 40,000 new laws go into effect this year.  Some will have less impact on American’s everyday lives, others will be very influential.  Below you will find some of the most influential and interesting laws to go into effect in 2012.


Minimum Wage

 

The following 8 states will be raising their minimum wage in 2012:  Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington.  Additionally, the city of San Francisco will raise its minimum wage, making it the highest minimum wage in U.S. history.


Illegal Immigration

 

Several states will see laws affecting illegal immigrants go into effect:


Alabama employers will now be required by law to use E-Verify, a federal system that verifies that employees are in the U.S legally.


Georgia will begin implementing a similar system similar to Alabama.  A gradual implementation, by July of 2013 Georgia will require all businesses with more than 10 employees to use the E-Verify system on new employees. 


Tennessee will also implement a system like Alabama and Georgia’s; the state will see a law that requires all business with 6 or more employees to utilize the E-Verify system on employees. 


South Carolina will implement a law that allows for businesses to have their licenses rescinded if they do not use E-Verify on their employees. 


California will implement several immigration related laws.  For instance, undocumented state university students can now receive payment for working in student government, and private financial aid.


Other Laws

 

California


By law, California schools will now require that gay and disabled people who made historical contributions to the world be included in their educational teaching programs.


Illinois


Motorcyclists can officially run red lights after waiting a, “reasonable amount of time,” at a red light in Illinois.  Very interesting also is that another law going into effect will allow schools to expel or suspend students who threaten school personnel or other students online; this law is an obvious response to the cyber bullying issue that has come to light recently.


Michigan


Michigan sees a change in its hunting laws.  Now children of any age can hunt under the condition that they are accompanied by someone who is aged 21 or older.


New Hampshire


Young girls seeking abortions are now required to either tell their parents or go before a judge before they can legally have an abortion.


Rhode Island and Tennessee


Both states will implement a law that requires all voters to present a photo ID when they go to vote. 


Utah


By law, restaurants, bars, and so on can no longer offer drink specials in an effort to cut down on drinking and driving.


Amber Paley is a guest post and article writer bringing to us some of the laws that go into effect in 2012.  Amber also writes about nursing home abuse.

The Money Game http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/2012/01/the-money-game/ http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/2012/01/the-money-game/#comments Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:47:03 +0000 Thomas Petruzzelli Sr. http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/?p=6962


Sometime before recorded history, mankind … some of mankind, anyway … learned that to trade with others was neater than killing to possess what another had.  Thus, the barter system came into being.  Swapping one’s goods for another’s goods was expedient, until the concept of money came into play.


One of the earliest forms of money was salt, for in the days before refrigeration, salt was essential to the preservation of meat, and meat (protein) was essential to the preservation of human life.  People would hand over a bag of salt to whoever had goods they’d wanted to acquire; the size of the bag varied with the asking price of the goods.   When people learned to extract salt from the sea and primitive mines, it became more plentiful and so, the mineral no longer enjoyed as great a demand.  Humans then began to barter precious metals instead of salt, bars of gold and silver.  Somewhere along the way, some genius determined that paper money and small coins minted from gold and silver were easier to cart around on one’s person than gold or silver bullion.


Eventually, the acquisition of money — wealth — became an end in and of itself.   The more wealth one acquired, the more power one possessed and the more avaricious one became.  Whether acquired by a feudal overlord who kept his serfs under his thumb for their most basic necessities, or a conglomerate or huge banking institution abusing its power, money and the urge to possess mass quantities of it became the root of all evil.  For as Jesus Christ warned, “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”


Despite Jesus’ admonition, greed — nor William Shakespeare’s reproach, “Neither a borrower or a lender be” — never gave the mega financial institutions a moment’s pause.  If one did not possess the amount of money he needed to acquire the basic necessities (i.e., a home), one knocked on the doors of the financial giants.  Behind those doors, the giants grinned and rubbed their gluttonous hands together, plotting to become more profitable.  Thus was born the practice of charging interest: additional fees for money lent to consumers and other businesses, and additional monies given to consumers or other businesses that allowed the banks to use their deposited money to the bank’s own ends.


While most banks pay out interest to their depositors in the neighborhood of 5% or lower for keeping a saving account open, the institutions charge as much as 30% in interest to consumers who apply for and receive credit cards from the banks.  And, it doesn’t stop there!  Some banks sold mortgages to naïve borrowers who paid back only the interest; their paybacks were never applied to the principal!  Legislation was then enacted to protect the consumer against such practices, thereby creating the amortized loan.  Amortized over a span of many years, each monthly mortgage payment was then applied to interest as well as principal.


Although our current laws demand that banks must be transparent with lenders when selling different types of loans, the banks always find a way to screw the little guy.  It wasn’t enough, just before President George W. Bush left office, that he and his cronies bequeathed $710 billion in bailout monies to the big banks and insurance companies.   Greed is a hungry monster that is never satisfied.   Banks such as Bank of America, to name one, were then caught red-handed, charging their customers for incidentals such as the use of debit cards, or the more prevalent practice of charging as much as $30.00 for bounced checks written out for far less than that amount.


When called on the carpet about those bounced check fees, a representative of Bank of America blatantly stated, in a formal, public announcement, that although her bank would rectify that situation, it would still find ways to extract extra cash from unsuspecting customers! And only a recent uproar from the general public, overturned the fee that Bank of America wished to attach to the use of debit cards.


Although banks may advertise their services as “free checking,” “free online banking,” and other freebies, the truth is another matter.  “Free checking” usually requires a minimum balance of $100 in one’s checking account.  “Free online banking” permits the bank to pay the float on your money, as most banks can take up to 5 days to process a transaction you request.


In all cases, the banks keep a portion of our accounts, to do with as they please, without paying us interest.  Government at the Federal, State, and local levels probably use these same, self-serving practices.  If you doubt this, consider tax credits issued to taxpayers.  These credits are not given in monetary form, but in the form of a statement.  The taxpayer uses the credit and the debtor accepts it without any money being transacted.   The debtor is satisfied, but what about the taxpayer?  He or she never saw any money in the first place, so how can they be sure that they’d really received a credit or just a statement to placate the masses and keep even more money in governments’ pockets?


Yes, the manipulation of money is highly profitable, if the right ones are holding the sacks of dough, that is.  Have you noticed how the devaluation of money was achieved by manipulating public perception?  Not very long ago, millionaires were considered rich beyond the wildest dreams of most people.  Now, millions are chicken change.  Billions, trillions, and quadrillions are the way to go, the path to overwhelming wealth.   All of this money is ground out and doled out daily by the Federal Reserve Bank (but not to hardworking taxpayers).  When money is printed and exchanged in billions and trillions of dollars, its purchasing power will diminish to the point where dump trucks will be needed to carry it to market … again, not by the average taxpayer, who actually work for his or her living.


Those dump trucks may not be all that far behind.  Remember how gold and silver bullion was abandoned in days of yore, in favor of lighter paper currency and coins?  Well, recent trends indicate that savvy (read: rich) investors are returning once again to gold bullion as a hedge against a tanking economy.  If we as a nation should return fully to the gold standard, our present-day U.S. dollars would shrink in number.  And those of us who cannot afford to buy gold bullion will, once again, be screwed.  But the banks will still stand strong.  Who said feudalism is dead?  It may be some time before I get to heaven, but when I do, I’ll wager that there are more camels up there than rich bastards.

Minimize Risk and Reap the Highest Profits in Buying or Selling Your Medical or Dental Practice http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/2012/01/minimize-risk-and-reap-the-highest-profits-in-buying-or-selling-your-medical-or-dental-practice/ http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/2012/01/minimize-risk-and-reap-the-highest-profits-in-buying-or-selling-your-medical-or-dental-practice/#comments Thu, 19 Jan 2012 16:56:10 +0000 Kathleen Felleca http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/?p=6956


“We live in interesting times.”


When U.S. Senator Robert Kennedy first spoke those words, he was referring to the 1960s, a time of great social strife and strides.  Had the Senator lived to experience current times, his now-famous quote would be just as telling.  In this fluctuating, often frightening economy, all the rules have changed.  Businesses once deemed eternally safe now face uncertain risk.  Business owners and professionals who once toiled in certain fields now seek to reinvent themselves in order to remain relevant in a rapidly changing, highly demanding job market.  The same is true of practices long compelled to operate as businesses: clinical practices specializing in various aspects of medicine, dental practices, legal practices, accountancy practices, veterinarian practices, and more.


Should you — the professional, the investor, or group of investors — search for Practices for Sale, you can, if misguided or misinformed, easily fall prey to the unscrupulous, particularly in this shaky economy.  It is imperative therefore, that buyers and sellers engage the services of a trusted practice valuation and brokerage firm, such as the Practice Sales Group of the U.K.


Unlike other such firms, Practice Sales Group assigns a team of professionals to your specific situation.  Armed with knowledge of general market trends, the market trends impacting your particular field, and sound financial acumen, the firm performs its due diligence with the utmost of care.  However, it does not restrict its analysis of your investment to mere numbers on a spreadsheet.


The team pays actual field visits to the practice that you seek to buy or sell, so that the resulting valuation is both extremely accurate and unbiased.  And, they are skilled in matching the right practice with the right buyer.   Practice Sales Group requires that fees for their services be paid in advance; however, if the purchase or sale of the practice in which you are interested is not consummated, the firm will refund your money.  The company also provides appropriate advertising vehicles by which to market your practice, or advertise for the purchase of one.


Clearly, if you are seeking Accountancy Practices for Sale, Dental Practices for sale, or any other type of professional practice, you will want to turn to those with solid experience and an impeccable reputation in the field.  You will want to turn to Practice Sales Group.

The Mark of Cain http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/2012/01/the-mark-of-cain/ http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/2012/01/the-mark-of-cain/#comments Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:46:40 +0000 Thomas Petruzzelli Sr. http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/?p=6939


“Ask not what your country can do for you,

but what you can do for your country.”

(President John F. Kennedy)


Although John F. Kennedy’s reign as our nation’s 35th President was all too brief, he left behind a legacy of courage in action.  This included his support of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., resulting in the passage of legislation that led to Constitutional equality for people of color.  These and other acts identified JFK as a President who truly cared about the citizens of this country.  After his assassination, eight Presidents succeeded him.   In none of them have we, the people, found a leader who has measured up to JFK’s strides toward a better future for every American citizen.


In the 48 years since JFK’s murder, promising and seemingly sincere Presidential candidates have come and gone.  Some were defeated in the November elections by those who took office in the White House; some were defeated by carefully calculated political assassinations before their names could ever appear on a Presidential ballot.  Herman Cain was one of those candidates in the latter category.


A product of the School of Hard Knocks and a successful businessman, Cain understood firsthand the plight of the American people.  He understood how we have suffered under a government that stole from the poor and gave to the rich, the powerful, the callous, and the undeserving.  In response to this situation, Cain crafted an original plan, 9-9-9, designed to restore fiscal and economic sanity to our nation waiting too long for a savior.


But, an old scandal — which Cain had resolved legally years ago — resurfaced via his political enemies, causing him to bow out of the Presidential race.  So much for the land of the free and the home of the brave, eh?  Had Jesus been in the same race, his detractors would no doubt have nailed him to a political cross rather than a wooden one.


Cain, however, refused to die.


Just when America thought he’d gone away quietly and for all time, Cain has returned to offer us a measure of hope.  Like a Phoenix, he is rising from his own ashes by bringing 9-9-9 before Congress.  He aspires to achieve the bi-partisan support needed to endorse his plan before the 2012 election occurs. And, he has called upon the electorate (we, the people) to issue an ultimatum to their representatives in Washington, DC: “Endorse 9-9-9 or lose our votes!”


If we, the people, rise to Cain’s challenge, we can effect positive change in this nation.  I speak of genuine change, not the type of change promised by previous administrations, including the incumbent President, who never delivered on their promises.  By following Cain’s lead, we can alter the tax code, increase revenue, and put America on the road to financial recovery.  The true beauty of this plan is that we can accomplish this regardless of who is elected President!


God willing and we do accomplish this, history will record the logic, vision, and perseverance of a man who put country first in times of crisis and left an indelible mark upon its political scene: Herman Cain.


If you are interested in making history, if you are interested in putting a stop to the royal screwing that we, the people, have been getting for far too long from our lawmakers, support Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan.  Visit his website and vow to make you, your family, and JFK proud by doing something of true value for your country.
