My Proposed 2016 Budget 4 Ky: End Ky Corruption Now

12 Cabinets to the Governor's Chair http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/images/0/03/Kentucky_state_exec_org.png

Scroll down to the bottom for the picture of the 12 Cabinets, and the positions I'd eliminate.

Under the Governor is the Secretary of the Cabinet, also known as, at least for the West Wing, as “the Chief of Staff”, which sounds stronger than Secretary... but Stalin started out as a Secretary, so, you know. One can take the seemingly smallest position, and expand it's power to include genociding over 40 million Russians.

Kentucky employs a bunch of State workers. 35,000 folks work for Kentucky, with most of them making over 6 figures.

Underneath the Secretary of the Cabinet are the 12 Cabinets to the Executive Branch of State Government. Here's a list:

1- General Government Cabinet (GGC)

These Cabinets are filled by appointments. While a transition between an exchange of power can fire them all and replace them with their own people, the government operates smoother by retaining most of these positions, and therefore, government can “keep working”. But sometimes government is broken, and doesn't help the people like it's supposed to do.

The 10 Economic Classes in Society are:

1- Uber Rich

2- Ultra Rich

3- Super Rich

4- Rich ($250,000 and up)

5- Upper Middle Class ($100,000 - $250,000)

6- Lower Middle Class ($41,000-$100,000)

7- Working Class ($12,000 - $41,000)

8- Working Poor Class (below $12,000, with job)

9- Poor (below $12,000, with no job)

10- Homeless Class

Obama's $250,000 threshold for rich versus poor is very generous... that one Fox News lady said $250,00 is poor... lol. Wow. I'm sure glad some of us has it that good. To me, that's filthy fk'n stinking rich, but what's a tomato to one is a Scrooge McDuck gold money bin to another... right?

No... she's crazy. Chris Rock said if we understood just how well the wealthy in this country lived, we're revolt immediately. Somebody else said the very same thing about the entire banking and finance industry.

$250,000 is the threshold I'll adopt for high middle class. Over $250,00 is rich.

The Average Income in Kentucky is $41,141 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_income or $41,806. “According to a joint economic committee report http://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=Reports1&ContentRecord_id=3c252eaa-f7bb-465d-bf7e-38eb4eaefd18&ContentType_id=efc78dac-24b1-4196-a730-d48568b9a5d7&Group_id=c120e658-3d60-470b-a8a1-6d2d8fc30132&MonthDisplay=1&YearDisplay=2014 from the U.S. Congress, Kentucky has the fourth lowest median household income — $41,806, based on 2012 dollars.

So, we'll say, $41,000. That's the MEDIAN income for Kentucky. It doesn't reflect how many very poor or very rich folks we have, but it does say where the income level is for most Kentuckians.

$41,000 is a good job. That's working class. That's middle class. It's … Lower middle class.

That's where all politicians income should be capped at. No politician should make more than their people. We rise with our class, not above our class.

Working class is between middle and working poor... working a 40 hour job, lives okay.

Working class is less than $41,000 and more than $14,000.

Working poor class is the class that works a 40 hour job, but is still poor.

The Federal Poverty line $11,770 for an individual, and $24,250 for a family of 4. http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/15poverty.cfm If you work 40 hour a week job, and make less than the Federal Poverty line, then you are in the “working poor” class.

These jobs should be illegal. Nobody should work a full-time job and still be below the poverty line.

The Homeless Class have absolutely nothing, and is dependent on food scraps found on the ground, or the random generosity of a passerby who truly believes they're actually homeless.

The Homeless Class, and poverty in general, is proof positive that Capitalism doesn't fix all ills in society, and so, therefore, giving lots of old rich white men blank checks to do as they please isn't a sound basis for a society's economic philosophy.

My Mother tells me about a time when she needed Food Stamps. She was the only one with a job, and had several mouths to feed, but the Food Stamp Nazis didn't think she was deserving of Food Stamps, and so, therefore, she was rejected. The poorest of the poor get public assistance, but not those who are working and struggling at a real job, who is doing what they are supposed to do? Does this mean, the poorest of the poor need to retain their noble status by remaining, the poorest of the poor?

She tells me this as a point of pride. She didn't want to have to ask somebody for help. And then when she finally did ask somebody for help, she was rejected. Rejected from getting free stuff. Free stuff meant for the poor, which she was, but it didn't matter to the Captain of the Food Stamps.

Then we lived in Florida for a year. Florida said it was okay for my mother to eat. In fact, she had a good job down there, and still was able to get food stamps. And we ate well in Florida.

Food Stamps, LIHEAP, and all other government programs, Extension Office, Roads, etc, are passed down from Frankfort to all 120 local county governments. Once a local official receives these monies, they make sure all of their friends know about the program. The poorest of the poor gets to use these benefits, maybe, but definitely all of their friends who happen to “fit” the guidelines will receive all the benefits they can get. Once their friends get the benefits.

That's what corruption looks like.

The Budget of Kentucky should be listed online, with every single penny accounted for, from when it moves from Frankfort to the local offices.

So while I agree with social programs, the corruption makes it to where folks who need it aren't getting it, and that's a problem. We're paying taxes for a ton of corrupt cronies that aren't doing their jobs. We as Kentuckians are saddled with a bigger burden than poor folks needing food or electricity: we're paying top dollar salaries for these spoils system machine political cronies. We aren't wasting money for free stuff for the poor... we're wasting money for corrupt thieves who pass very little out to the poor. It's for their livelihoods, and their friend's livelihoods. Some folks ask me how do I plan on paying for a GMI, but that's what all of those sucking on Kentucky's government teat are doing. Many folks already have a “Guaranteed Minimum Income”... such as the State Police, or the Office of the Secretary for the Finance & Administration Cabinet.

What does the Finance & Administrative Cabinet do again? I'm sure it's important... KHEAA is a part of them... does that have something to do with approving Tuition Rate Hikes for University students? And how come this isn't taught to every single Kindergartener in the State? Aren't teachers “public officials” too? Is it their job to keep the student masses dumb and ignorant and obedient, so they never know anything, and fail in this world? Teachers aren't doing their jobs. Students aren't learning. Poverty runs rampant in Kentucky, and all folks can blame, is Obama. It's all his fault... as if Kentucky wasn't poor before Obama got into office.

In fact, it's Obama that's helping Kentucky the most.

For ex-coal miners, he's giving them money.

Plus money to fix decapitated mountains.

Obama also saved Kentuckians from the Ice Storm and Tornadoes and Winter storms this year.

Plus the Stimulus jobs and public works projects. Obama's done a bunch of good for Kentucky.

But you won't hear Jack Conway say this. He's suing Obama.

xxx

Part of me feels like Kentucky deserves it. For being loud, obnoxious, and consistently voting Republican for decades even though they're on the dole. One can bite the hand that feeds for so long. The chickens can only vote for Colonel Sanders a few times until they get decapitated and served for dinner. If you're not at the table, then you're probably what's for dinner. So for Owlsey County, Clay County, all Social Security recipients... that's Socialism. That's a government handout. For all government workers, who get paid a decent salary, but isn't forthcoming with information, is just looking for reasons to knock somebody off the scrolls, just for the fuck of it, just because you can't help everybody, or because you're boss told you to, or because you don't like the look of somebody's face.

I can only blame the educational system and media for so long. We live in the Internet generation, and we're going to die of ignorance by choice.

Major Democratic pundits have started calling out Kentucky, and saying they need to be cut off.

Harvard has called our State the most illegally corrupt, and legally corrupt, in 2014... these poor statistics aren't getting any better. Republicans always talk about properity, and yet, the reddest states have the poorest statistics out here. I'm glad Mississippi exists, for Kentucky isn't as bad as Mississippi, but instead of comparing and contrasting ourselves with those on the bottom, what if we began to produce as much GDP as New York and California? What if we looked to Illinois and Florida, and all the rest of the States, and countries in the world, and did

xxx

Comparing the USA to the EU, Kentucky is Greece. We're the ones who keep on getting bailed out. We're the ones who take more than our fair share.

And that sucks. Because it's not getting into the right people's pockets. It's all about the economics.

I was for capping at $41,000... but perhaps talent is needed. I propose that everybody be fired after 4 years. So train your replacements at your criminally high salaries, with them being bumped down 25% every year...

There's plenty of smart talented Kentuckians who can use these jobs instead of all these carpetbaggers. Hire them for $100,000, which is a great job with a great salary.

Many of these positions I'd cap at $41,000, but some of the medical and scientific salaries, they be worth their money, depending on how much of experts they are in their field, and how well they teach their talents to others.

But I can't budge past $100,000. Let's bring up Kentuckians into these positions.

How many Kentuckians did UofL or UK basketball even elevate? 2? That's it. Just 2? That's revolting. For a State that bleeds blue, we aren't producing enough talent for the likes of Pitino or Calipari. Plus, there's no assistant coaches in Kentucky who would be willing to work for $100,000 for UK? Of course there is. There's plenty of talent out here. Firing these folks opens up new jobs for Kentuckians.

So first it's “Look! It's March Madness!” and then it's “Look, it's Churchill Downs!”

Then, BAM! Kentucky Primary Election, May 19, 2015

Kenneth Easterling

Kenton County District Court Judge

$112,668/year

(April 2015 figures)

Deters told Easterling he should recuse himself because of prior interactions with Deters: http://www.wlwt.com/news/deters-asks-judge-to-recuse-himself-due-to-shared-history/27481174

Let's take one of the poor Judges, and see how big his pension will be when he finally decides to retire.

“Kenneth L. Easterling is a district court judge for the 16th District Court, which presides over Kenton County in Kentucky. He was elected in 2006 and re-elected without opposition in 2010 and 2014. His current four-year term expires on January 6, 2019.” http://ballotpedia.org/Kenneth_L._Easterling

Kenton County Judges are notorious for not giving anybody Public Pretenders. The threshold for if one can afford an attorney or not, by Easterling's own mouth, was “do you own a car?” I own a $1,500 piece of shit car... well then, clearly, you can sell it, and pay for an attorney! But I also wouldn't have a car to get to court... which I'm sure you'd hold me in contempt, even with a justified reason, get me thrown in jail, get raped, assaulted, if I decide to fight back... oh man, basically, ruin my life.

So Easterling makes $113K per year, and has been making $113K per year since 2006. That's 9 years he's been making 6 figures.

Here's the formula for how much retirement retired Judges get:

“State law entitles retired judges to a monthly retirement benefit of 2.75 percent of the judge's final yearly compensation multiplied by the years of service. Judges cannot receive benefits exceeding the amount of their final salaries.” http://www.ehow.com/info_7991903_average-salary-district-judges-kentucky.html

So we have $113,000 per year... if Kenneth Easterling was to stop Judging in 2019, then he would get 2.75% of $113,000 multiplied out by the number of years he's judged, which in 2019, would be 12 years.

2.75% of 113,000 = $3,107.5

3,107.5 times 12 = $37,209

That's how much retirement money he gets? This bullshit is ridiculous. He gets $37,209 dollars... for the rest of his life? Wtf Kentucky? Somebody needs to be looking at these books much much closer. How is this not criminal? How is this not official misconduct, and highway robbery?

I'd bust trusts too.

What if I'm just a Judge for 4 years... I get an extra $3,000 on top? And for those Judges who has been on the bench for decades... my god... they're making bank.

$37,209 is a great pension... that's a great yearly salary... for not doing jack shit. And District Judge are the poor judges... Circuit Court Judges make $125K, and Supreme Court Judges make $135K, or so. So that ups their yearly retirement... Circuit Court and Supreme Court Judges are also in there for 8 year terms...

Millionaire Judges.

Kentucky's Judicial System is corrupt as fuck, and this is after the 2010 Judicial Budget slashing.

“Kentucky, in 2010, already SLASHED jobs in the Judicial Branch... it's still overly bloated. The Kentucky court system slashed costs in 2010. According to the Frankfort State Journal, the judicial branch slashed $7 million across all layers of the system. Chief Justice John Minton Jr. eliminated more than 100 jobs. Family and juvenile drug courts were also abolished. The court system also continued a hiring freeze to mitigate the number of layoffs required.” http://www.ehow.com/info_7991903_average-salary-district-judges-kentucky.html

The high amount of folks on Frankfort government's teat, whether free benefits, or employed, reminds me of Yuan Dynasty?

Grayson County's Cabinet for Health and Family Services is corrupt: http://www.topix.com/forum/city/leitchfield-ky/TKIB5AK32T2I0FKO5

I'd fire the directors of all 12 Cabinets, and elevate others. 

I also kept the Office of Public Advocacy. 

I'd also increase the funding of Kentucky's Labor Cabinet.
