谁是这场经济危机的罪魁祸首？
正是那些低收入买豪宅的人们。
消失的财富已经固化在他们无力承担的豪宅中，现在他们又要利用政治力量来保持不应
属于他们的财富。
贪心愚蠢的银行失去了财富，甚至破产，他们已经得到了惩罚。但是庆父不死，鲁难未已。
这些投机者一天不从他们不应得到的房子里foreclosure出来，这场
经济危机就一天不会结束。

Taxation without Representation.
为什么一部分人，
一部分更向上的人，
一部分更勤劳的人，
要得到惩罚？
为什么一部分人，
一部分创造价值的人，
一部分给别人提供了就业的人，
要交更多的税？
他们要把自己的收入中更大的比重拿出来，
承担更多的社会责任。
为什么？
难道他们呼吸更多的空气？
难道他们饮用更多的水？
难道他们消耗更多的食物？
难道他们使用更多的道路桥梁？
难道他们需要更多的医疗保健？
或者，
难道他们可以投更多的选票？
如果美国的源起，
是一句愤怒的呐喊，
是对压迫的不满，
Taxation without Representation.
那么今天是谁被Taxation?
他们又是否得到Representation ???
又记：
progressive tax 也可以，但是要从政治上表现出来。
比如说投票，
每人基本的一票，这是基本权利，不管收入高低，必须保证。
在此以外，必须反映出纳税的多少。比如，纳税多的可以投第二票，或者根据纳税多少
，来决定票数的多少。当然，一人多票也要progressive，不能造成有钱人完全
dominate政治的结果。
现在美国这种情况发展下去，民主党只要只给上一半收入加税，下一半减税，就可以在
政治上立于不败之地了。毕竟穷人永远比富人多。那整个国家就是走上衰落的不归路了。

突然想起了刘志刚和张立新...
小学五年级，张立新捡到一个钱包，大概有几十块钱吧。星期天下午，我和刘志刚都被拉到他家，大家看到一卷人民币，兴奋得不得了，马上出门买了几瓶啤酒，豆腐干，猪头肉...还有什么吃的东西，记不得了... 在张立新家吃吃喝喝，吹牛胡闹，玩了一下午...
从那以后的好几个月里，走路都爱低着头，看能不能再捡到钱...

Obama called 18B bonus shameful - who is shameful?
有的人仇富心理作怪：人家开公司，赚大钱，你们自己赚不到就这么眼红。CEO拿奖金说到底是自己赚的，bail out也是政府发的，不是人家抢的，完全合理合法，有什么shameful的。总比黑八之流慷纳税人之慨，给自己的红卫兵发food stamp好。
失败的公司，bail out money也不是偷得抢的，要是对这些公司没信心，政府大可以不发钱么。既然发了，就是相信公司的能力和智慧，也就没资格管人家怎么花。
难道老板给你开工资之后，还有资格规定你怎么花工资么？你要拿自己的工资去投资垃圾股，难道老板也有权利出来说你，"这么不尊重我给你的钱，真是shameful"么?
黑八动不动搞shameful这一套，想要发动无产阶级专政来打土豪分田地么？
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama issued a withering critique Thursday of
Wall Street corporate behavior, calling it "the height of irresponsibility"
for Wall Street employees to be paid more than $18 billion in bonuses last
year while their financial sector was crumbling.
"It is shameful," Obama said from the Oval Office. "And part of what we're
going to need is for the folks on Wall Street who are asking for help to
show some restraint, and show some discipline, and show some sense of
responsibility."
The president's comments, made with new Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner
at his side, came in swift response to a report that employees of the New
York financial world garnered an estimated $18.4 billion in bonuses last
year. The figure, from the New York state comptroller, drew prominent news
coverage.
Yet Obama's stand also came just one day after he surrounded himself with
well-paid chief executives at the White House. He had pulled in those
business leaders and hailed them for being on the "front lines in seeing the
enormous problems in our economy right now."

我为美利坚人民民主党进一言 - My Tax Reform Proposal
把全部人口按收入排序，收入低的51%人口全部免税，收入高的49%人口承担全部税务负担。
不交税的51%人口不会关心tax rate有多高，从此happy ever after，成为民主党的永久选民，进而保证无产阶级民主专政的长治久安。
再补充一点，为了防止不法分子利用现金，隐瞒收入，逃避缴税，杜绝一切现金交易，
开始发粮票，布票，一切凭票。

K-Lite Codecs explained
Most players use DirectShow for playback. DirectShow is a system that uses multiple DirectShow filters as building blocks to construct what is called a DirectShow graph. A file is a root of this graph and the audio and video renderers are the leaves of the graph. During playback data flows from the root to the leaves. Each filter in the graph performs a subtask of the whole process. Typical elements in the graph are a source filter, which is often also called a splitter or parser, and decoders for the audio and video. A source filter is responsible for reading the file format and feeding the data to the other filters downstream in the graph. During graph creation, if DirectShow finds multiple filters that are able to perform the same subtask, then it will typically select the filter that has the highest merit. The merit of a filter is simply a numerical value that indicates the preferability of the filter. Tools exist to alter the merit of a DS filter. Advanced players are often able to manipulate which filters are used in the graph, allowing for example to block or prefer certain filters. If no suitable DirectShow filter can be found to decode a certain audio/video format, then DirectShow is able to fall back to using VFW and ACM codecs (see below) through special wrapper filters.
It is a myth that filters can 'conflict' with each other. If something goes wrong it is simply because some filters in the graph are not performing their subtasks correctly. The filters in this pack are carefully selected to provide you with optimal functionality and a minimal chance of running into problems.
Codec is short for 'compressor-decompressor', a piece of software that is able to decode and encode a certain format. By this definition, a DirectShow filter is not a codec.
Two other systems are VFW (Video For Windows) and ACM (Audio Compression Manager). Components for these system are called codecs, because they are typically able to both encode and decode. These two types of codecs are required by most video editing applications, such as VirtualDub. Traditional video editing applications are not able to use DirectShow. More modern applications are sometimes capable of using DirectShow for decoding, but they usually still require VFW and ACM codecs for encoding.
Components:
# means that ffdshow is able to decode the same format(s) as the marked component. So you don't necessarily need to install the marked component if you install ffdshow.
# means that Media Player Classic is able to decode the same format(s) as the marked component. So you don't necessarily need to install the marked component if you install MPC and use it as your default player.
