Owner of Bob’s Red Mill Natural Foods Gives His Company To His 209 Employees

Owner of Bob’s Red Mill Natural Foods Gives His Company To His 209 Employees
This falls under one of those beautiful stories that you love to hear about. I’ve heard stories like this before but I missed this one a couple of years ago. Maybe you’ve seen Bob’s Red Mill at the health aisle at your local grocery store; they produce over 400 whole grain products at their mill that sits on over 17 acres just 15 minutes outside of Portland, Oregon. Most of the time – a person who builds a business decides to sell it to the highest bidder and instead he’s handing it over to his employees over time. What I found interesting and uplifting was how his religious views and Christianity informed his decision to do this.

“There’s a lot of negative stuff going into business today,” he said. “It’s a good old basic Bible lesson — love of money is the root of all evil. And unfortunately, our entire philosophy today is get all the money you can and whatever way you can. It’s caused many corporations to bite off more than they can chew. And it causes people to do a lot of things just for money that they feel in their hearts is not the right thing to do.”
With his own company, Moore has tried to do just the opposite. In a refreshing twist to the typical tenets of corporate America, Moore thinks of his employees and customers first and foremost.

Romney Chief Energy Advisor Defends His Oil Subsidies, While His Tax Rate Is 2.2%

2012-09-14T18:01:00.000-07:00

Romney Chief Energy Advisor Defends His Oil Subsidies, While His Tax Rate Is 2.2% September 13, 2012 By Don Hamel http://www.addictinginfo.org Mitt Romney’s Chief Energy Adviser Harold Hamm, who is also CEO of Continental Resources, read a prepared statement to Congress today that reads like a spoiled child’s letter to Santa. He doesn’t want to be bothered with environmental regulations, and he’d also appreciate more Federal land to drill on. Despite a string of amassing record-breaking quarters of profit increases he insists that his industry is in dire need of all their tax subsidies, or as he prefers to call them; ‘tax provisions.’ He feels his company’s tax burden is already too much: These same tax provisions not only allowed us to survive the disastrous years of OPEC dominance and decades of sub-economic oil and gas prices here in America, but most importantly, they allowed us to try new things and fail, and try again and fail, until we finally succeeded in “breaking the code” to produce the vast resource plays (even the source rocks themselves) like the Bakken in Montana and North Dakota. Continental’s effective tax rate is 38%! According to his own figures, his company made over $1.8 billion in profits over the last 5 years. So at 38%, that comes to around $684 million. Wow, can you believe we have a deficit at all? So, is that what Mr. Hamm’s company paid? Well, no. In the last 5 years they’ve paid $40 million, or a tax rate of 2.2%, according to Citizens for Tax Justice.

Romney Lies about Lying!

2012-09-14T07:41:00.000-07:00

(CNN) – With less than three weeks before the first presidential debate, Mitt Romney says he already knows what his biggest hurdle will be in his three October showdowns with President Barack Obama.

"I think the challenge that I'll have in the debate is that the president tends to, how shall I say it, to say things that aren't true," Romney said in an interview that aired Friday on ABC's "Good Morning America."
What a asshat.

Rush Limbaugh Seems to Think Obama Is Responsible For Isaac Heading Toward Tampa

Rush Limbaugh sure knows a lot about hot air, so, you know, he's pretty much an expert on hurricanes. He seems to think that President Barack Obama is personally responsible for guiding Tropical Storm Isaac to Tampa, or something. Nothing he says really makes much sense.
"So we got a hurricane coming," Limbaugh said on his radio show, according to Media Matters. "The National Hurricane Center, which is a government agency, is very hopeful that the hurricane gets near Tampa. The National Hurricane Center is Obama. It's the National Weather Service, part of the commerce department. It's Obama."

Flip Flop Again

2012-08-11T20:09:00.001-07:00

Within minutes of tapping Paul Ryan as his vice presidential nominee, presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney was distancing himself from the congressman's controversial budget, which includes steep cuts to government programs and changing Medicare into a voucher-like program.

The Romney campaign sent out talking points on Saturday that made the case that he was his own man on matters of Medicare and Social Security and that he wouldn't be tied to a document he insisted he'd sign into law and once called "marvelous."

Banker Leaves 1% Tip on $133 Bill to Show His Disdain for the 99%

by The Troubadour Follow for Writing by David Harris Gershon

From the Daily Kos

ince September of last year, Occupy Wall Street has boasted significant victories, from shifting the public discourse on income inequality to sparking the Obama administration's current Wall Street probe.

Another, oft-ignored victory (or, at the very least, result) of Occupy Wall Street's many successes is the way in which the one percent's unbridled greed and disdain for working Americans has been exposed in stark and transparent ways.
This is a victory not because exposing such greed is revelatory – we all intellectually know that many who control our country's purse strings in the financial and political sectors intend to serve only their own interests.
No, this is a victory because such greed is often concealed. We know it's there – we just don't often get to see behind the curtain and witness it in palpable, emotionally evocative ways. Numbers and statistics don't often change public opinion, as compelling as they may be, as much as the views that stand behind such statistics.
Which is why, when a banker – unnerved by Occupy Wall Street – reveals in a moment of weakness his or her true feelings, reveals the emotions behind the numbers, such a revelation is not only powerfully telling, but it is a victory for those wishing to expose what truly ails us.
And this is what has happened, represented in the image that has gone viral, an image of a banker's lunch bill (Above)
The history of the image is less important than what it represents, though the abbreviated history is this: someone who calls himself "future ex-banker" photographed the lunch bill of his boss, who he describes in this way:

Mention the “99%” in my boss’ presence and feel his wrath. So proudly does he wear his 1% badge of honor that he tips exactly 1% every time he feels the server doesn’t sufficiently bow down to his Holiness. Oh, and he always makes sure to include a “tip” of his own.

The image, and this story, has gone viral not because such views and such greed is new. This is not a significant cultural moment because we, as a society, are unaware that there are those controlling our nation's wealth who feel this way. No, this has gone viral because this image and moment reveal in stark relief such horrible ethics and greed in a way that touches our emotional cores, in a way that transcends numbers and figures – transcends our logic – and instead punches us in the gut.
And this collective punch to the gut is a victory for Occupy Wall Street, it is a victory for a movement that seeks to correct the greed and corrupting influences that have poisoned our politics and financial institutions.
The one percent are losing their ability to hide their disdain for average Americans. They are losing the ability to hide. We now see them clearly.
For Occupy Wall Street, this is one thing: another victory.

Mitt Romney Didn't Know This Was Against The Law, Either, We Suppose . . .
