Season 4, Episode 15 - Mahatma Gandhi, Richter scale, tax credits for housing, porch pirates, Haiti vs. Dominican Republic, murder by an illegal immigrant, U. S. birth rates, cost of eggs, and more!

In this week's podcast, our quote of the week is from Mahatma Gandhi on the source of true strength.  In light of last week's earthquake in NJ, we'll revisit briefly how the Richter scale measures the intensity of earthquakes.   In our stupidest thing I've heard all week segment, we'll discuss a proposal requiring the US Government to issue tax credits to anyone spending more than 30% of their take-home pay on rent.  We'll tell you why becoming a Porch Pirate is one of the fastest-growing career choices in this country and how many packages are stolen every day.   We'll give you an update on Haiti's violence, unrest & poverty and compare the chaos in that country to its neighbor to the east, the Dominican Republic, both of which are located on the Island of Hispaniola.   In a story you didn't hear on the news last week, we'll tell you about the murder of an Ohio man by another illegal alien with a lengthy criminal record and ask why the national news networks didn't cover that story.  We'll tell you about the dramatic changes in US national birth rates by age group: which age group now accounts for the most significant percentage of all births, and which age group now accounts for the lowest percentage after falling by more than 60% over the past 25 years.  We'll tell you how much a dozen eggs cost in California and why that figure is double that in most other US States.  Our taxpayer relief shot comes to us from Cobb County, Georgia, where two thugs make one of the worst possible choices in deciding what type of business to rob.
