Mags,I made a wild stab at the numbers.60 tax havens times 7.5 trillion (a number I had from the worlds fifth largest tax haven)"the city of london" in the city of london itself.I do not think I am correct.But it gives you an idea of the wealth that could be hiding.It seems that 125 trillion is too small a number.I had statistics in college.I know the smallest have less than the largest.But I like playing with numbers anywayyyy.


Lee, sooner or later someone will get hurt even killed in these protests.The jobs that could be outsourced are gone and are not coming back.What we need to focus on are creation of jobs that cannot be outsourced.We need to work on our roads and bridges.Our energy independence.Wind ,solar,and biodiesel.We need to grow more food.We need private individuals to step up and do things.People need to be inspired.Thats where Ben Franklin or Thomas Jefferson would have come in as leaders in this current crisis.triffid

So here is the leadership and production rates:
Lake Erie Biofuels, LLC d/b/a HERO BX is engaged in the production and marketing of biodiesel at the Company’s facility located in Erie, Pennsylvania.

HERO BX is managed by Erie Management Group, LLC and is owned by Black Family Holdings, LP.  The Company was formed in September 2005 and began construction of its production facility in June 2006.  HERO BX produced its first ASTM D6751 approved biodiesel on November 29, 2007.

The Company has constructed a 45 million gallon per year capacity biodiesel plant that is designed to produce biodiesel from vegetable oils, animal fats or a multi-feedstock blend.  The Company’s biodiesel plant is equipped with Desmet Ballestra designed continuous flow technology.

The Company’s facility features a proprietary filtration system and pretreatment facility that became operational in March 2008 followed shortly by a fatty acid stripper.  The Company’s pretreatment facility and fatty acid stripper allow for utilization of multiple feedstocks as economics and quality specifications dictate.  The flexibility with regard to feedstock situates HERO BX in an advantageous position versus biodiesel plants whose economics are directly tied to price and availability of a single feedstock.

HERO BX has achieved BQ-9000 accreditation as a producer and marketer from the National Biodiesel Accreditation Commission.  To receive this accreditation, the Company passed a rigorous review and inspection of its quality control processes by an independent auditor.   HERO BX has a state of the art on-site laboratory to ensure adherence to the strict specifications of ASTMD6751 and EN14214 quality specifications.  The laboratory has opened its doors to outside revenue generation as a certified commercial laboratory.

Think we don't need a money reform?Something is wrong when one person can have more wealth than a nation or nations.  Half the world, nearly 3 billion people, live on less than $2 a day. The three richest people in the world â€"- Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, investor Warren Buffett and Mexican telecom mogul Carlos Slim Helú -- have more money than the poorest 48 nations combined. triffid
