Question #1:

Adam Carolla on Occupy Wall Street: The Rich and Poor Are More Similar Than You Think?

Even before the 'Occupy' movement gripped America and the rest of the world last fall, The Daily Ticker had been covering the sad, but true reality of our country's fading middle class: Middle-income families have been hit hard by more than 30 years of stagnating wages and rising prices for basic necessities like food and energy.

Our segment last May entitled "America's Middle Class Crisis: The Sobering Facts" hit a nerve, quickly becoming our most popular segment of all time with millions of views and more than 10,000 shares on Facebook. The reception to the clip was shocking, but after the most recent global financial crisis left so many jobless, it is hard to be all that surprised.

The leaderless 'Occupy' movement, chided for not having one single mission, did manage to make growing wage disparity a major cause to protest. Its most notable crusade remains against the country's richest 1% in an era where it seems the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and those in the middle grow fewer.

Many would argue that more needs to be done to rebuild the middle class and close the huge gap between the rich and poor in the U.S. President Obama has even made this a theme for his bid to recapture the White House.

Question #2:

I have a question about the Euro vs Dollar?

As everyone knows, we are currently experiencing a global financial crisis. The Euro is not doing well, nor any currency for that matter.

However, I'm curious about the conversion rate between the Euro and the Dollar.

Currently, 1 dollar is worth .76 Euros (as of 01/31/2012).

Does this mean that the Euro is stronger than the Dollar? If so, why are we hearing about the Euro so much and about how poorly it's doing?

If it's stronger than the Dollar, why is the Dollar still the world's reserve currency?

Just trying to gain some insight on this matter. Anyone with knowledge on this is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Question #3:

I want to live in London. Any advice?

I'm quite fascinated with London since my early teenage years. I fulfilled my dream of visiting the city last year, when I stayed there for a week. It was great, the only thing that sucked was the tube central line, which was closed during the weekend, because of the Olympics improvement works.

So, I'm Portuguese, 21, male, who is ending a journalism course. I don't have that much money and I'm looking to get out of here as soon as possible. The damn crisis as arrived and it will not leave us soon. The future doesn't look brighter for the youth over here, especially those who doesn't have a medical or engineering degree. So, yes, I'm searching for something and London is an option, a strong one.

Do you think it is a good idea? UK is not facing a good situation right now as well, with all those financial cuts, but it is a strong economy. It has its own currency and is a world financial center. And I'm thinking of moving in 2014.

And, no, I don't give a damn about the weather. Everyone says Portugal has a wonderful clime, but I'm not a big fan of the unbearable summer temperatures. And I'm not concerned about the safety of London too - I live in one of the most dangerous areas in my country, where the crime rate is fairly high and nothing has ever happened to me.

What advice would you give to a guy like me?

Question #4:

Why is George Soros saying the United States is going to collapse?

“I am not here to cheer you up. The situation is about as serious and difficult as I’ve experienced in my career,” Soros tells Newsweek.

“We are facing an extremely difficult time, comparable in many ways to the 1930s, the Great Depression. We are facing now a general retrenchment in the developed world, which threatens to put us in a decade of more stagnation, or worse. The best-case scenario is a deflationary environment. The worst-case scenario is a collapse of the financial system.”

“The collapse of the Soviet system was a pretty extraordinary event, and we are currently experiencing something similar in the developed world, without fully realizing what’s happening,” adds Soros.

Soros goes on to say that as the crisis in the Eurozone only worsens, the American financial system will continue to be hit hard. On the way to a full-blown collapse, he cautions, Americans should expect society to alter accordingly. Riots will hit the streets, says Soros, and as a result, “It will be an excuse for cracking down and using strong-arm tactics to maintain law and order, which, carried to an extreme, could bring about a repressive political system, a society where individual liberty is much more constrained, which would be a break with the tradition of the United States.”

Question #5:

Why is George Soros (Obamas fundraiser) saying the United States is going to collapse?

Question #6:

English parallel structures/ faulty parellism. URGENT :)?

1. Greece's economic crisis has been fuelled by government overspending, corporate greed and salaries are excessive.

2. According to The Economist, mixed-sex boards are better because they are fairer, make better decisions and challenge poor leadership quickly.

3. The main trouble with PowerPoint, says Lucy Kellaway in the financial times, is not that it is so boring. Rather, it is that it makes complicated issues too simple, reduces subtle ideas to bullet points and users are encouraged to fill out presentations with irrelevant data

4.The business world needs to reform itself by recognizing its social role, it must consider the nation's well-being and do away with the winner-takes-all culture that has dominated the last three decade.

For 4. do i have to change dominated to has been dominating of is the answer just fine as it is

Question #7:

Canada needs to person like me right? I need to lead it.?

Hello everyone. The EU has not been going so well. We are becoming communist. With high taxes, and paper money, as well as Bills that can detain us without trail we really need to get back up. Canada may have switch to plastic money, but the gold standard is a must!

Why you ask? Well here is why I think gold and silver should be the only legal tender.

You know, in studying monetary history from the beginning of our country, and even throughout all of history, monetary policy on periodic occasions will come — become the dominant issue. And we have emphasized that, and it has become an important issue.

Just think: So we are now — because of what is happening, it will remain a dominant issue. There’s no way they’re going to put it to bed, because they have destroyed our money. It’s worldwide. There’s a financial crisis going on. And it’s only sound money and personal liberty that can solve the crisis that we have today.

But the one reason — the one reason I talk about the monetary system so much, it was a sneaky, deceitful way to pay the bills. You know, an honest government that wants to be a big spending government would tax the people, and then the people would know what they were doing. If — if we had to pay taxes for everything that they do, you know, the people would rise up and — and stop it. So then they started borrowing money a lot, and then people didn’t notice that quite as much, because they didn’t pass that on.

But then they resorted to the printing of the money. And that is why the Federal Reserve was established, to take care of the powerful interests, the military industrial complex, the banking system, and deficit financing. And there’s a couple of reasons they have deficit financing. Sometimes there are conservatives that want deficit financing, and sometimes there are liberals who want deficit..

And they have resorted — they have resorted to this. And, of course, this is why we are facing this crisis today.

But it also serves those interests who like to think that we have this responsibility. They claim it’s a moral responsibility to take our young people, put them into the military, and send them hither and yon around the world, policing the world, and using up the money

So just — just as we have been able to bring to the forefront that most important issue of funny money, fiat money, the paper money system, the Federal Reserve, we have brought to the forefront — others have tokenly talked about it. They get in office and they do nothing about it.

But right now, it is this liberty movement, which is seen as a patriotic movement, an individual liberty movement, that is saying to the country and to the world, we’ve had enough of sending our kids and our money around the world to be the policemen of the world. It’s the time to bring them home.

The one thing is, is we do know they will come home. My goal and our goal has always been to bring them home in a deliberate fashion, to avoid major economic crisis by destroying our economy by spending so much overseas.

In the last 10 years, the wars that have gone on have added more debt. And I don’t think we have been one bit safer for it. I think we have been less safe because of all the money that we have spent overseas. So this is the issue now. It is — it is an issue that I think is crucial. Jim mentioned in the introduction that, you know, so often they say that if we tell people that we think we should spend less in the military, they say, “Oh, that means you want to cut defense.” No, if you cut the military industrial complex, you cut war profiteering, but you don’t take one penny out of national defense.

And besides — besides, we’re flat-out broke. Fortunately, we did not have to fight the Soviets. The Soviets brought themselves down for economic reasons. Do you know that they were so foolish and thought themselves so bold that they could pursue their world empire that they invaded Afghanistan?

But we will come home, but if we do it now, calmly and deliberately, we can save our economy here at home, because there are a lot of people who are suffering here at home.

You have to stop the inflation, because that’s what destroys the middle class, and that’s what transfers the wealth from the poor and the middle class to the wealthy. And that is why the wealthy got their bailouts and the middle class shrunk and they lost their jobs and they lost their houses.

So this is what we have to do. We have to cut the spending. This is why I have made a token suggestion in the first year in office: We would cut at least $1 trillion from the budget.

Now, the one thing that — the talk you hear in Washington is pure talk, because there is nobody suggesting — the other candidates are not talking about real cuts. They’re talking about cutting proposed increases out in 10 years. They say, oh, we’ll cut a trillion dollars. Yeah, a trillion dollars over a 10-year period, which is $100 billion every year.
Our national debt is going up in real terms $100 billion every month, and they claim that’s cutting, and they’re yelling and screaming, “Oh, we can’t cut, we can’t cut.”

We do have to cut. We have to live within our means, if we want to be able to at least take care of the people who have been made to be so dependent on the government. I mean, we have to work our way out.

I would say if we did this and cut this overseas spending, at least we might be able to allow the Social Security beneficiaries to get their checks and medical care be provided. But if we continue to do what we’re doing, the results are that the dollar is destroyed, and the whole thing comes apart, and it’s going to be worldwide phenomenon. Already — already, Social Security beneficiaries are suffering a lot. Their income is shrinking because the value of the dollar is going down, so they’re getting — they’re getting their checks cut. And that is why you have to think about the cutting and stopping the inflation.

Question #11:

Economic Terrorism: Was the 2008 Collapse Intentional?

The 2008 financial crisis was one of the worst the U.S. has ever seen. It was the culmination of several factors including poor investments, government intervention and crony capitalism. However, the confluence of these events has prompted some analysts to ask, “Was the 2008 collapse intentional?”

“The Pentagon released information that they had received a report — right after 2008 — that [the collapse] may be ‘economic terrorism,’” Glenn Beck said on his radio show.

“And then [the Pentagon report] was released to the public I think in 2011 (maybe late 2010?), and I wondered, ‘Why was this held? Who released it? Why did they release it at that time?’And we talked about it, I said, ‘I think this is a sign somebody in the pentagon wants somebody to know what is really, possibly happening here.”

Was the 2008 economic crash intentional? Is the U.S. the target of “economic terrorism”?

Kevin Freeman, the author of the aforementioned Pentagon report and Secret Weapon: How Economic Terrorism Brought Down the U.S. Stock Market and Why It can Happen Again, joined Glenn Beck to discuss what might have really happened back in 2008.

“There are others like George Soros that may be involved in this,” Beck said.

Who else may be involved in this supposed “economic terrorism”?

“Islamic terrorists,” Freeman said, “Osama Bin Laden has, or did, say forever, ‘Our intention is to attack the U.S. economic system. We know the cracks in the system like the lines in our own hand.’ That’s why they hit the World Trade Center towers. It was an attack on the economy as much as it was an attempt to kill people.”

Question #12:

Question #13:

Do you know way secret societies are “SECRET”?

My friend, recently I discovered on YouTube some disturbing information regarding secret societies that woke me to a harsh reality.A few of these so called “societies,” include the 170 year old Illuminate,Bilderberg, and the Bohemian Grove.One of the worldwide biggest societies is a Globalist consisting of 13 family bloodlines and headed by the Rothschild family; they are currently holding half of the world’s wealth accumulated from wars and other significant events.

Question #14:

Is it a good idea to open a shop in London with the the financial crisis we are facing?

I already have a small business of memory foam mattress and beds. It pays a wage and I think it's time to take a step in the real world. I've seen a place in London on Palmer's green green lane, rent is 20 k per annum. I am thinking to open a little show room with a few ranges in. I have some good links in flooring and mirrors and I though it would be an idea to combine this in the show room. My concern is
will I be at least covering the rent cost of my business property after 6 months into the business. My prices will be competitive and my mark up on a item will range from £35 to around £250. What is the chance of my survival and success.
Many thanks

Question #15:

Margin Call movie, 2008 financial crisis cause and events?

Despite Margin Call being somewhat slow, I found it to be fascinating! I wish I knew financial world lingo but its like reading John Grisham and your not a lawyer; You understand you can get screwed if your not educated on these things. lol So, can anyone explain: was there a whistle blower to all this mortgage mess, or I thought there were people that handled volatility and future projections. Is this what happened to Merrill Lynch? How can a company survive after selling 93% of their assets? I know I probably asked something that takes 300 pages to answer, but please know I understand. I know science and asking, why, makes be pull out a 1000 paged anatomy and physiology book. Thanks!

Question #16:

Can someone look over my College Essay?

I have enjoyed writing for most of my life, ever since the second grade. While others were playing games or screeching, I was imagining worlds and characters to use. As I grew and my interest in history grew alongside with my love for writing, I began intertwining the two to create secret histories, historical fantasies and alternate histories of what could’ve been and what should’ve been. My imagination has opened up worlds for me just ripe to be reimagined and remade, and in today’s climate, there has never been a greater opening to revel in change and opportunity.

Bob Dylan once sang: “Oh the times they are A-Changin’.” When he sang this back in the 60’s, the nation was wrought with drastic upheavals. It was a decade where the threat of nuclear war was never more tangible in history, when Martin Luthor King Jr. was shouting ‘I have a dream’, when John F. Kennedy was assassinated and when Neil Armstrong first stepped on the moon, all in the backdrop of the Vietnam War. Today those words hold an even greater importance as we all struggle to find our place in a world where the financial crisis has taken the world by the throat, where dictators are dying or being overthrown, where our government is locked in a bitter stalemate and, most importantly of all, where the pace of change is beginning to accelerate.

It is against this backdrop of history, of my history, that I draw on my inspiration. It should be noted that I don’t accept change with open arms, but this is the change that show much we have done in the past century alone. When I write about the past, things are slower and virtually alien, difficult to conceive at times. In the present, characters and events are completely different with a startling buildup of major happenings all over the world being reported more frequently. I am not an idealist and against the change of history, I cannot be blamed for being cynical and this attitude is reflected in my writings. I look to history for examples and trends, to flesh out who my characters are, their setting, and their emotions. One can say that my characters are akin to my own flesh and blood in graphite and paper and that from beginning to end, there is a piece of me in them.

Whenever I walk the dogs, help out at the local library or just relax, I imagine what could’ve been, what is, and what will be. The future draws on from today and progress marches on faster than we realize. Yet while I feel apprehensive about change I cannot refute the need for it, personally. It’s through the art of storytelling and world building that I’m able to see how things change from past to present to future and how they meld. I draw on my reserves of knowledge, accumulated over the years, to put pen to paper. Whenever I write an article for the school paper, a poem or a script, I look around for something new or old. I look to people, students, teachers, family and friends for inspirations, drawing on their actions and reactions to bring things to life. But perhaps more importantly, I imagine what I would do and how I would act and react myself.

Question #17:

What will it take for our civilization to finally change itself?

In the book, "The End of Growth," by Richard Heinberg, and countless other environmentally conscious books, it is made clear that the paradigm of perpetual economic growth is a very recent phenomenon in human history that cannot be continued forever. We will eventually hit a wall of resource limitations, energy and commodity prices will skyrocket, killing growth, which will lead to a collapse of our entire financial system and economy, likely resulting in political and social revolution. This in turn could result in a major world war, a new dark age, or God knows what. Will it really take an historic crisis of this proportion to finally get us off of this growth addiction we have, or is there some hope for humanity?

Question #18:

Is it right for me to be optimistic and know that the future will eventually get better or should i not be....?

....like this at all and am i wrong that the future will look better?

This kid in my college tired telling me that Congress will just keep getting mroe corrupt and runing everything until we are like a third world country that is communist like. People being slave driven, tortured caus eof laws like NDDA, and he has no hope for the future, but i do....

Before you judge me let me tell you, i have lsot fmaily to terrible instances, i have gone through financial strains, i have had massive heartbreak, but after ll that, i listen to john lennon "Imagine" a message of peace and love, and i see our world lesss conserverative, people accepting eachpother more, bullying being tolerated with worse punishments, and i see a better futurter for america, and the world.......I see the economy recovering as it has before, us delaing with our food crisis as we have before, even though we will collapse i see us redcovering, the wars over, and times looking like the 90's again instead of thsi crappy decade.

Question #19:

Modern Tower of Babel, Is God still mad?

Barclays Capital has mapped an "unhealthy correlation" between construction of the world's tallest buildings and looming financial crises over the last 140 years, including the Great Depression and the Asian financial crisis.

Is God still mad about Nimrod?

Question #20:

Greek parents too poor to care for their children (BBC report) and are abandoning them. Should we help?

Click Here

Greece's financial crisis has made some families so desperate they are giving up the most precious thing of all - their children.

One morning a few weeks before Christmas a kindergarten teacher in Athens found a note about one of her four-year-old pupils.

"I will not be coming to pick up Anna today because I cannot afford to look after her," it read. "Please take good care of her. Sorry. Her mother."

In the last two months Father Antonios, a young Orthodox priest who runs a youth centre for the city's poor, has found four children on his doorstep - including a baby just days old.

Another charity was approached by a couple whose twin babies were in hospital being treated for malnutrition, because the mother herself was malnourished and unable to breastfeed.

Cases like this are shocking a country where family ties are strong, and failure to look after children is socially unacceptable - they feel to Greeks like stories from the Third World, rather than their own capital city.

One of the children cared for by Father Antonios is Natasha, a bright two-year-old brought to his centre by her mother a few weeks ago.

The woman said she was unemployed and homeless and needed help - but before staff could offer her support she had vanished, leaving her daughter behind.

"Over the last year we have hundreds of cases of parents who want to leave their children with us - they know us and trust us," Father Antonios says.

"They say they do not have any money or shelter or food for their kids, so they hope we might be able to provide them with what they need."

Requests of this kind were not unknown before the crisis - but Father Antonios has never until now come across children being simply abandoned.
