ameriKans' tax dollars at work: posh welfare town for spoiled aliens...... and Taser International in big trouble

It's been pointed out that regardless of how many real people like you or I get fired or impoverished by a particular economic depression, the System's pet causes never miss a beat.

You know, like stuffing ameriKa full of foreigners, and slashing ameriKans' pay via "income taxes" to help the poor pitiful newcomers to enjoy the life of Riley? (I say "ameriKans" because this really isn't America anymore, and our title for today isn't "Your tax dollars at work" -- the usual phrase -- because you don't pay income taxes anymore, right?)

Here comes what is quite possibly the most amazing case of runaway, fantasy-world socialism this country has ever seen. How many other communities can be going up around the country like it -- and would anybody like to place a bet on how long it will take this one's residents to start a riot or fire somewhere?

Elsewhere on the socialist beat.... the latest find among expat gurus is a modest yet power-packed email newsletter called Panama Perspective. A recent issue carried this eloquent image (which refused to paste at the last minute):

Isn't that just wonderful -- come all ye corporate fatcats, take all the reckless chances you want because the Fed (in addition to its equally crazy main assignment of regulating moolah) stands ready to, well, BAIL YOU OUT.

Now for some good news, via another of the many “come to Panama” groups out there:

Fall of the American Empire – July 29, 2011
Suing the Taser Manufacturer – This is really a great thing. The courts have not moved to grant immunity to the taser manufacturer for the abuse the police do with the tasers. This is something the corrupt courts need to do or the lawyers will bankrupt the taser manufacturer. The tasers will then soon become inoperable, no parts, no supplies, etc. Maybe they have so many other things to worry about, the taser company will get bankrupted. The company is Taser International, Inc. Their second quarter profits this year were down $2.3 million on revenues of $21.2 million. The company was dealing with a $10 million judgment against them that they intend to appeal. Taser was ruled responsible for about $9.23 million of the total award; about $6 million of that will be covered by insurance. This leaves them exposed for about $3,000,000. The city of Charlotte will cover $730,000 as part of a settlement, and $40,000 will be covered by workers’ compensation insurance. The case was in North Carolina. The company is now selling two shot semi-automatic tasers now. This means more deaths. They are also offering an expensive camera version but I doubt many agencies will buy this. They do not want more lawsuits resulting from videos of their officers torturing and executing people. I think this was something dreamed up by the Taser company lawyers who know nothing about marketing. Sure if every taser had a camera the future for the company would be better but the cops do not want any more cameras.
