The Kennymotown Show - Ep 12 Tax Cuts & Nut Jobs

Everything is over inflated these days! I was making 11.70 an hour in the late 70's and early 80's and thought my 400 dollar a month mortgage was outrageous for a 2,000 sq ft house.

$11.70/hour in the late 70's was some seriously good money. According to the BLS that would be $40/hr now (way underestimated), but in actual purchasing power would be more like $90/hr.

It was a Journeyman grocery clerks wage at the time. Yes I was mr. whipple back then always squeezing the charman or anything else I could sqeeze! :)

Couldn't have been much, at 27 dollars a month house payment!

I suppose your right!

Thanks my friend, I'm going to think about this week while working and sleeping. I was really hoping we could get more community video comments, maybe if we get a bunch in this week Ziggy can get enough for a show! You've always been a big supporter of the show and if continues I hope you stick around!

I will stick around. I would like to do a video, but am very camera shy. You know how I feel about our government. I could rant through your whole show :) Even if I had someone to do the camera work, I don't know how to put it on the computer and whatever needs done after that. Sorry, but I will be here.

Maybe we can help you through the whole process my friend. I sure would like to see you on video telling it like it is!

Where did I put that time machine? Mr. Wizard where's the time machine, I need to go back......

Thanks Leen61, I think just about everybody could use a house for that price these days!

That's for sure, kenny!

I'm thinking about it, I'll get with Ziggy as soon as he wakes up maybe he will talk me down!

I will definitely think about it this week! Thanks for your kind words!

Certainly are ridiculous, and they still want them. I say if you want em, send your kid to the war zone!

Thanks my dear friend, you and I have been at this a long time brother!

Thanks Jan for being there!

You're welcome. Take a break and then reconsider doing this again. It is a great service you provide to the site.

Probably right Jan, a break is needed!

Voted Up Kenny, just have not had time to view the show yet... Hang in there... =)

You always step on toes when you talk politics, but different opinions should never be taken as being an enemy. I have stepped on toes but most of the time can not say I dislike them. In fact on different issues I agree with the same people. I like your posts, comments and look forward to seeing you on Current, my friend.

I'll still be here, taking a break for a couple of days for now, decide later in the week about the show!

Aww C'mon Kenny Leaders and the sharing of information is the need about Town... Stick it out, you never know, a public channel may be very interested in the show and may even Sponsor...It's the 12th episode and as I have been told an over night success takes at least 7 years of work... =)

Will see!

Kick it around... =)

I am!

Well because it's the Fascist Party now!

Good one!

It's hard to be that wasn't that long ago! 27 dollar a month house payment, where's the way back machine when you need it?

Thanks!

You done good, my friend!

Theirs always the next one. Hey could you mention occupy wall street on the next show? I think its important to send them some support. Been watching the livestream daily and they are showing what We the People can do when we set aside our differences and come together.

Yes, I certainly will! :)

Thanks cherry5000, I bet the 1000 pc puzzle at a certain point became a bit wearisome! During our 3 months of putting it together we took days off at a time! :)

it did become wearisome, I had to take some days off also.

Those big ones do take a toll! :)

they sure do.

Sorry to hear about her death as well, can't wait for your next video comment my fair lady!

Well I read your comment above. If you decide to do another one, you know I will contribute. Thanks for letting me come out of my shell a bit ;-).

Thanks Jan, we will let you know! I've got to think this through this week. Your one of the best!

Sorry to hear that jan. My best friend died of cancer a year ago and I miss her and all the good times we had. That would have been a good comment.

Thanks Dan thats really nice of you, wouldn't that be a hoot! I'd love it if they let it be a live call in show, so everyone could contribute. Hey thats a great idea, as long as my Producer Ziggy is included in the package.

I like that and a specific "reader requested" items might give a little more planning time for your producer. I would love to see you do a bit on the "cultural foibles" of our time. You know like the "newspeak" thing from 1984 i.e. we have repugs saying they are the "protectors of the nation" and they spent millions and years failing to find Osama who was camped in our "allies" back yard! and We have the repubs proclaiming to be "religious" as they cheer for death, proclaim dead soldiers are "dogs" revenge, ect. If you did a whole show of these, would anyone start to wake up? Thanks again for getting the word out!

Great idea, "newspeak" hmmmmm, interesting!

It is eerie how close to the mark "1984" is to the world we inhabit today! War is peace! Love is hate (something the repugs picked up?;-) Opps, I'm guilty of "crimespeak" for even thinking that our lords and masters would allow error to creep in to their master plan! ;-)

It's here big time!

Thanks Joy for watching, I'm hoping for some more from you soon!

Will be on it as soon as I get some time. I just have so many depressing and horrifying topics to choose from, I am not sure where my concentration should lie.

I know what you mean, I thought about a lot of other subjects just as soon as I shot the last segment. Oh well there is always the next show. I know you'll pick a good one or combine a bunch of them. Thanks.
