    How much is a BILLION?

    Posted by admin on April 22nd, 2010 and filed under luxury home for sale | 12 Comments »

    The next time you hear a politician use the word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about whether you want the ‘politicians’ spending YOUR tax money.
    A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
    but one advertising agency did a good job of
    putting that figure into some perspective in
    one of its releases.

    A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

    B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

    C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

    D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

    E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

    While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let’s take a look at New Orleans It’s amazing what you can learn with some simple division . .

    Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number, what does it mean?

    A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get $516,528.

    B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

    C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.

    Washington, D.C .. HELLO!!! … Are all your calculators broken??

    Tax his booze,
    Tax his beers,
    If he cries,
    Tax his tears.

    Tax his bills,
    Tax his gas,
    Tax his notes,
    Tax his cash.

    Tax him good and let him know
    That after taxes, he has no dough.

    If he hollers,
    Tax him more,
    Tax hi m until he’s good and sore.

    Tax his coffin,
    Tax his grave,
    Tax the sod in which he lays.
    Put these words upon his tomb,
    ‘Taxes drove me to my doom!’

    And when he’s gone,
    We won’t relax,
    We’ll still be after the inheritance TAX!!

    We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

    What happened? Can you spell ‘politicians!’

    And I still have to ‘press
    1′ for English.

    What the heck happened?????

    You could have said all of that in one word: Reaganomics!

    What the heck happened?????

    This was sent to me by a friend – I did not come up with these facts myself. – Diana

    Hi Diana. Hope you won’t take offense, but (just like me sometime ago) you appear to have been sucked in by a WOW NUMBERS email. Many emails, not only of this type, but of other types too, are circulated on the internet by being forwarded by recipients to yet other recipients.

    After a while, one of the people I was forwarding such items to, a retired editor, scoulded me for not checking these things out before deciding to pass them on. She recommended I go to www.snopes.com to help determine the whether an email contained truth, lies, or a combination of both.

    Please take a moment to visit the site for yourself in the future. You’ll be amazed at the amount of misinformation that is being fowarded around the internet. It’ll be a great education. And when you go to the site, you’ll notice a SEARCH window that allows you to type in a keyword for their search engine to find for you. To help me find the billion dollar article you posted as part of your question, I simply typed the word "BILLION" in the search window and clicked on GO. The article came right up, and I was able to view what they had to say about it. The people at Snopes have a very good reputation.

    Who agrees this is too true to be funny: that "Billion" is a funny word for politicians?

    Awesome. You must be a tax advisor like me. Some of those taxes must be state level but most are federal. The only thing I can say is that all those taxes and the laws behind them have kept me employed for 30 years.

    However, you are right. We americans are taxed to death. Death and taxes are the only things that are certain in this life.

    Luxury Home for Sale in New Zealand, Mahurangi, Scotts Landing

    Posted by admin on April 15th, 2010 and filed under luxury home for sale | No Comments »

    http://www.nzbeachfrontproperty.co.nz

    KIWI COASTAL MAGIC WITH AN ENGLISH TWIST

    Ever fancied living in the English Cotswolds but cant bear to pull yourself away from the relaxed kiwi boating lifestyle? Now you can have the best of both worlds in an idyllic waterfront haven, 5 minutes north of Snells Beach. Its just an hour or so from Auckland at the end of the peninsula at Scotts Landing in Mahurangi. The property beckons you to immerse yourself in a unique lifestyle, the finest New Zealand has to offer.

    Right at the waters edge, the traditional, five year old, Cotswold-style, brick home basks in views over the sleepy Te Kapa Inlet where the famous annual Mahurangi vintage boat race takes place. You can moor your boat at the bottom of the lawnready to explore the boundless bays and islands on your way out to the Pacific Ocean.

    Meticulously crafted, the home is spacious, comfortable and relaxing. Full of English character, it incorporates extensive recycled timbers in the ceilings, floors and joinery. There are jarrah ceiling beams, totara door frames, cedar sashes and a beautiful old, recycled kauri staircase. Bricks on the exterior came from the Grafton Gorge in Auckland.

    Substantial open-plan living downstairs flowing outdoors makes it easy to entertain. In winter, a big open-fire in a stone fireplace keeps the house cosy. A farmhouse style kitchen has a full-size scullery behind, well-equipped to for crowds. The grand living room spills outside to a covered verandah overlooking the inlet. The other side opens through French doors to a generous, sheltered courtyard and lawn. The whole house wraps around the courtyard, so you can always retreat from offshore breezes.

    The house was designed for a couple but because it is large enough, it can to adapt to a variety of situations. There are obvious options for a family or boutique accommodation. The large master suite downstairs is self-contained with a traditional bathroom and huge walk-in dressing room. While you live downstairs, the whole top floor area with two large independent suites can be used independently. Guests can come to stay and happily enjoy their own space without tripping over one another.
    The home is on two acres of land but theres more land if required. A cottage on the property can also be negotiated.

    Live the good life in traditional elegance, with the city not so far away.

    STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

    Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

    What happened?

    Can you spell ‘politicians?’ And I still have to ‘press 1′ for English. I hope this goes around the USA at least 1 billion times

    A billion has 9 zeros after it 1,000,000,000
    Maybe the government should show their requests written out that way and scare the crap out of us and wake us up. Something has to.

    And I want the rotary phones back so I DON”T have to press ‘1′ for English LOL

    Good work, Canyon,,scary,,,but well done.
