How Wall Street is ripping off residents with solar power

[Jazz Spazz]

They pay equally high rates due to the price of these Wall Street subsidized panels raising the prices on everyone through the roof, and giving the increase in premiums to Wall Street. That, and $8000 up front. Not that hard to understand.

This won't end well for California, but whatever it's their money to blow.

Through the roof... haha

What the hell are you talking about? Equal high rates? $8000 up front? None of this makes any sense.

Also solar pricing has dropped over 50% in the last 3 years.

Whoever you are getting information from you need to fire them and slap them across the face.

It's not about Obama as much as the using modern technology to do away with the corruption that has always been. The rich feed on the passions on either side to rake us over the coals as we do their bidding not knowing we're cutting off our own nose.

This is incidental - Wall Street doesn't need partisan politics to rip off Main Street. The most under reported story of the last few years is the public bond bid rigging scandal by Wall Street and the big banks. And this involved liberals and conservatives coming together to raise money to build better schools or parks or roads in their own neighborhoods.

I don't get the instincts the leftists or rightist have to defend or spin for their "team". They're like bass because they don't have the choice to attack the correct bait or not, even if it wasn't meant for them.

Being politically agnostic is truly liberating; the lefties and righties are so damn angry. I don't even hate congress like 99.99% of the populace seem to. They're doing the best they're capable of under the circumstances.

I agree with much of this although I wouldn't call myself politically neutral. Calling spades spades makes life a lot easier, though. I disagree fundamentally on congress as it's toxic and only the players can be held responsible. If they're not, then we're in more trouble than I or anyone else wants to believe...

****.

Here's how I look at things. You have groups of do gooders who believe their own ****. Paul Ryan immediately comes to mind. They're doing what they think is best, regardless of how boneheaded it is. Solar is about as dumb of an idea you can come up with, but they honestly believe they're doing good for the world. Good on em for that.

Then you have the pragmatists who see the posturing and b.s. and have to keep their uninformed constituency content, even though they allegedly were voted in to study issues and make the best decisions. Allegedly. So they wade through the structure and realize they have to give things up they don't like. But a little compromise is a good thing.

Then you have the power structure who's in high agreement on what needs to be done. Look at the setup over the last 1.5 years and tell me they didn't change things. Capital gains rates went from a 15% cap with a ****ton of deductions to 23.something with phased out deductions. FICA taxes were dropped meaninglessly, but hurt when raised as it always does. Now there's real pressure to finally tell the baby boomers that they can no longer look down their noses at the hard working young generation supporting them and will have to take some austerity too. They hold all the money anyway, which is probably why we couldn't ever change it yet.

And we had Bush with the spine to say in his specially dumb way "I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system,". There's no easy way to explain a simple concept to people about backstopping banking without pissing them off, so Bush manned up and put it bluntly, then saved us. Listen to the libs howling right now over Dow 15,000, which is a product of Bush's TARP and his Bernanke appointment, and Obama's spending spree.

And now we have amnesty with Obama telling us to thank Bush for ushering it in. And then we have HillaryCare set up in a couple years. And now we have whispers of Japan rebuilding their own protections. And gas prices are under serious pressure lower.

Politics under Obama's reign have made huge strides, even if we won't realize it en masse for another decade.

That was a bad way of saying that looking at the minute details of every single issue, usually filtered through a distorted perspective, doesn't allow us to appreciate the big picture. The issues at hand are getting better; it takes time.

Just more money they can use to create jobs. What's wrong franklin, you hate jobs? While haters gonna hate, job creaters gonna job create!
