The San Francisco ban on providing free toys to entice children to eat unhealthy foods goes into effect Thursday, but McDonald’s plans to comply with the law by charging 10 cents a toy for their Happy Meals and donating the money to the nonprofit Ronald McDonald House.

It was every businessperson's nightmare.

Arriving at Harv's Metro Car Wash in midtown Wednesday afternoon were two dark-suited IRS agents demanding payment of delinquent taxes. "They were deadly serious, very aggressive, very condescending," says Harv's owner, Aaron Zeff.

The really odd part of this: The letter that was hand-delivered to Zeff's on-site manager showed the amount of money owed to the feds was ... 4 cents.

Where does the money go when buying bitcoins?
No one in bit-landia seems to know, or are willing to tell. LOL
"Follow the money" is the oldest and wisest saying since currency was invented. Soo, who ends up with all the money used to buy bitcoins???
The miners? The exchanges?
The FED's owners get all the value of the Dollar.
Who ends up with all the value of the bitcoin? Bottom line.

Consider these questions:

If you owned a printing press in your basement and could LEGALLY print your own money…

1. would you choose to pay your bills by printing the money you needed?
2. would you choose to pay your bills by going to the bankers for a loan?

Governments around the world are getting pretty desperate to make their money profitable. Collectors have been pandered to before, but it's never been done in such a grossly commercialized way.

Color images of cryptids on Canadian money, and Star Wars coins being issued by the New Zealand mint? The government really is issuing play money now.

Guess who makes the most money on legal weed? Someone who doesn't do a damn thing except extort money from you.

"Google only pays a 2.4% tax rate using money-funneling techniques known as the 'Double Irish' and the 'Dutch Sandwich,' even though the US corporate income tax is 35%. By using Irish loopholes, money is transferred legally between subsidiaries and ends up in island sanctuaries that have no income tax, giving Google the lowest tax rate amongst its technology peers. Facebook is planning to use the same strategy."

Johnson supporters orginiazed the first ever "money avalanche". A term coined as a spin off of the "money bomb" that Ron Paul's volunteers popularized in 2008. Unlike the one day money bomb, the Money Avalanche is a fundraiser scheduled over a period of several days and weeks that starts with small achievable goals and builds up momentum to reach large fund raising numbers.

Does happiness rise with income? In one of the more scientific attempts to answer that question, researchers from Princeton have put a price on happiness. It's about $75,000 in income a year.

They found that not having enough money definitely causes emotional pain and unhappiness. But, after reaching an income of about $75,000 per year, money can't buy happiness. More money can, however, help people view their lives as successful or better.
