Outdated G-20: a number of nations no longer belong in G20

G20 is an outdated institution
By Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ
G20 is an organization of 20 wealthiest nations plus EU. The world is enthralled watching the current G20 meeting and believing that the nations represented there are indeed the wealthiest nations.
However, when you look at national GDPs (Gross Domestic Product) some nations no longer belong in G20. The GDP of Saudi Arabia, Argentina and South Africa dropped below #19 ranking. On the other hand, Spain Netherlands and Switzerland have significantly higher GDPs and need to be included in G20. I was really dismayed seeing the president of Argentina and his wife parading on the red carpet, kissing at the red carpet event, as if they are the heroes of some Hollywood blockbuster, even though based on it’s GDP, Argentina no longer belongs at G20. Further, for some inexplainable reason the prime minister of Norway and the president of Senegal were at G20, even though Norway is #34 and Senegal is #117 on the IMF list of wealthiest nations. Senegal’s GDP is a laughable 15 billion. What was he doing there?
Similarly, Italy hosted G7 this year, even though Italy is no longer among 7 wealthiest countries and both Italy and Canada no longer belong in G7.
To me, G7 and G20 became outdated politically correct institutions, pushing globalist agenda and without any accomplishments to speak of. Moreover, G7 and G20 official policies hurt the population of multiple nations, created massive national debts, created indebted populace and mostly served the interests of a very small oligarchy.

The U.S. isn’t going to leave G7 or G20 as long as Goldman Sacks continues to run the country.

Welfare and Government INSANITY!!!!
SIT DOWN TO READ THIS
Can’t you hear students telling their teachers they want to be welfare recipients when they grow up?
The work ethic we inherited growing up has fallen prey to the ‘welfare’ system.
The Cato Institute released an updated 2014 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 in 13 states. Accordingly, it’s now more profitable to sit at home and watch TV 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. 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.. Because America is now just about virtually bankrupt.
Note that California is $18.50 an hour.
Salary of retired United States Presidents: $180,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of House/Senate: $174,000 FOR LIFE
This is beyond stupid.
Salary of Speaker of the House: $223,500 FOR LIFE — (This is really stupid.)
Salary of Majority/Minority Leader: $193,400 FOR LIFE — Ditto last line.
Average Salary of a teacher: $40,065
Average Salary of a U.S. Soldier deployed in Afghanistan: $38,000.
Now think about this:
Nancy Pelosi will retire as a Congress Person at $174,000 Dollars a year for LIFE. She has retired as SPEAKER at $223,500 a year. PLUS she will receive an additional $193,400 a year as Minority Leader, the fact that she has become rich while in office notwithstanding. That’s $803,700 Dollars a year for LIFE including FREE medical care which is not available to us …. the taxpayers. She is just one of the hundreds of Senators and Congress that float in and out every year.
I think we found where the cuts should be made.
If you agree, then please pass this important message on unless you really don’t care that your country is bankrupt in part due to the likes of these people. Again, so how many trillions of dollars are we in debt right now…?

When a president dies, the country pays for their burial. In the case of a president like JFK, who was a war hero and assassinated in the middle of a term, something extravagant is in order. His burial at Arlington with the memorial paid for by the people cost almost $4 million in today’s money, adjusted for inflation. The Kennedy family paid for the casket, vault and the eternal flame.
Ronald Reagan, one of the most influential men in history, is buried in California at his Presidential Library, paid for by donations from the people and the Reagan family. In fact, other than Kennedy, which we can all agree was warranted, no president has ever cost the taxpayers more than $100K in today’s money to bury.
The clause in the Presidential Contract enacted by congress in 1819 states that the president shall receive the burial service deemed fit for his stature and that the cost of the funeral and burial plot will be paid for by the people of a grateful nation. While every president who has died in modern history, except Reagan, took advantage of that perk of the presidency, none have gone so far that anyone would ever have noticed. Until now that is.
Barack Obama has just submitted his plans for burial in a plot that will house his entire family, citing the Kennedys, the Tafts and the Roosevelts as precedent, inside a monument he had designed to celebrate the nation’s first black president. The monument, will cost the taxpayers roughly $120 million and will be listed as a national historical place with 24 hour protection from the 3rd US Infantry Regiment, just like the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
The memorial would be built immediately upon approval and occupy the Northeast quadrant of the lawn near the Washington Monument with a view of the White House:

You heard that right. Obama will be guarded around the clock in a monument among those of our founding fathers and greatest heroes, paid for by the taxpayer. It’s not too late to call or contact your congressman and object.

Fake news originated on America’s last line of defence website. Why are people so gullible ?
“DISCLAIMER: America’s Last Line of Defense is a satirical publication that uses the imagination of liberals to expose the extreme bigotry and hate and subsequent blind gullibility that festers in right-wing nutjobs. We present fiction as fact and our sources don’t actually exist. Names that represent actual people and places are purely coincidental and all images should be considered altered and do not in any way depict reality.”

I think this has to be a fake story. The monuments on the National Mall are not mausoleums. All the presidents they honor are buried elsewhere and the monuments were built much later. That’s not to say the Obama and his followers wouldn’t like to see it happen, but this seems fishy to me.

How about this? Time to end Presidential libraries. Taxpayers pay for maintaining them at an annual cost in the millions.

It seems strange to me that we are listed in a group that also allows commies and muslims.
They are not Nato…and we can’t trust them either!
And when we look at the EU, too…it appears that only OUR friendly nations should be:
1. Canada
2. Australia
3. Japan
4. Norse Nations
5. France
6. Fill in the others…
