This is the new "wear your seatbelt" ad the UK is doing - started by some dude not hired to do it, but because the cause is important to him, he came
up with this idea, and now it's being hailed across the world as a beautiful' commercial. ...And now the video has gone "viral" - [which means, has become so popular with the general public that people are forwarding it
to friends/family on their own so quickly that it has spread all over the world in a very short time.]

Here's the video my friend ! :thumbsup:

MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russian forces freed a hijacked Russian oil tanker and rescued its crew in a helicopter-backed operation on Thursday that killed a Somali pirate, authorities said.

Russian investigators said 10 captured pirates, who seized the China-bound MV Moscow University in the Gulf of Aden, will be brought to Moscow for prosecution.

They hijacked the tanker on Wednesday with its 23-member crew and a cargo of crude oil worth $52 million.

"Measures are being undertaken to bring the detained pirates to Moscow," the Investigative Committee of the Prosecutor General's office said on official website sledcomproc.ru.

Subject: Your Taxes Next Year

This is supposed to be part of the new Health Care Bill.

I contacted my Congressman about House bill H.R.3590 the health care bill Just passed. I asked for a summary of changes. The aid directed me to go to http://[color=red]www.thomas.gov[/color]/ ; enter H.R.3590 in the search Box and look for summaries. Starting in 2011 (next year folks) your W 2 tax form sent by your employer Will be increased to show the value of whatever health insurance you are Given by the company. It does not matter if that's a private concern or Governmental body of some sort. If you're retired ? So what; your gross Will go up by the amount of insurance you get.

You will be required to pay taxes on a large sum of money that you have Never seen.

Take your tax form you just finished and see what $15,000 or $20,000 Additional gross does to your tax debt. That's what you'll pay next year. For many it also puts you

into a new higher bracket so it's even worse.

This is how the government is going to buy insurance for 15 % that don't Have insurance and it's only part of the tax increases.

Not believing this I researched the summaries and here's what I'm reading:
On page 25 of 29 :

TITLE IX REVENUE PROVISIONS- SUBTITLE A: REVENUE OFFSET PROVISIONS-(sec. 9001 , as

modified by sec. 10901) Sec.9002. "requires employers to include in the W-2 form of each employee The aggregate cost of applicable employer sponsored group health coverage that is excludable from the employees gross income."

This was in an E Mail sent to me.
