Who is Better Off? “Who is better off in the last four years?” This is a question that is being asked by politicians on both sides.

There is no doubt that those with the most in invested assets (the wealthy) have done the best.

Since President Obama took office, the stock and bond markets have done extremely well.

72.51%

The top 20% of wage earners, with an average annual income of $223,500 and who pay 67.9% of all Federal taxes, have the most investable assets. They are the clear winners as to “who is better off.”

The bottom 20%, with an average annual income of $23,500 and who pay almost no taxes, are the losers.

Printing money makes the poor poorer and the rich richer.

Deficit spending by governments stimulates economic activity which causes stock prices to rise. Printing money (QE1; QE2: Operation Twist) also causes financial assets to rise. Those with the most invested in financial assets (stocks and bonds) benefit the most.

On the other hand, those living on food stamps, welfare, unemployment, and social security alone, as well as those who are working and living from check to check, lose ground when the government prints money.

Printing money is essentially a regressive tax, meaning that it hurts the poor and lower middle class most.

last 4 years

2X 40%

In the last four years, gasoline prices have doubled and most food items have risen 40%. Imported goods from Asia have also risen due to the relative devaluation of Gas prices have doubled our currency. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) no longer takes into account food and energy. People on social programs (food stamps, welfare, unemployment, social most food items have risen 40% security) usually find their increases linked to changes in the CPI, while most employers increase employee wages by CPI plus 1%.

Thus, those in the bottom 50% find that they have been receiving increases of 2% to 3% annually but the things that they buy have increased 5% to 6% annually. After four years, they have fallen behind by 12% to 16%.

The top 20% of income earners use a smaller portion of their incomes for food and energy and a larger portion toward investments.

It is clear that the top 20% have been the winners over the last four years while the bottom 50% have been the losers.

Now that we have completed the renovations on our lovely Vanderbilt Beach condo, I wanted to reach out to you and thank you for all your help and assistance in finding exactly what we wanted. It was our good luck to find you through

Fine Magazine when we did! Your responsiveness and attention were heads and shoulders above what any other agent had offered. We really appreciate the time and effort you took to guide and focus us in our search and your patience in showing us so many potential properties. Your expertise in the area and your assistance in negotiating and closing the deal made it all much easier than it might otherwise have been. You really went the extra mile for us and we are delighted to have you as our realtor and a new friend in Naples. We would unreservedly recommend you to any and all who are undertaking a property search in the area.

Thanks again,

During the winter, the population is approximately 40,000, but in the summer it dwindles to 20,000 when workers (and often their families) migrate to other states. Immokalee is a town where extreme poverty and hardship live side by side with inspiring hope and ambition. Our goal is to help Immokalee’s next generation turn that hope into reality. info@immokaleefoundation.org

as an analyst for the Golf Channel. Mark has been a member of the exclusive Old Collier Country Club for 8 years and is now the Director of Membership for the Club.

Mark grew up in Napa, California and after joining the PGA Tour, moved to Tallahasee to be centrally located — he could drive to many of the PGA Tour events from there. Over the years, he kept coming to Sanibel Island, playing in an event there. Southwest Florida began to grow on Mark, and after a hurricane hit Tallahasee, he decided to make a move.

His friend, Bobby Nichols, was the Director of Golf at Fiddlesticks Country Club in Fort Myers, so Mark decided to buy a house and settle in Fiddlesticks. He said air travel out of Fort Myers (RSW) was a big plus, boating to islands, fishing, waterports, lots of outdoor activities — it was ideal!

Instant Lessons with Mark Lye

Most players are looking for ways to shave a few strokes off their score. Since half of all strokes taken in a round are on the greens, putting seems to be the first place players look to improve. These days on all the tours, players try changing their hand position on the putting

grip. We have seen belly putters, long putters, short putters and the like. However, before changing your equipment, try a different approach on the putting grip... “left hand low” (the opposite, “right hand low” for left handers).

Conventional Grip - Right hand low In the two photos, you will see a conventional grip on the left. Notice, with a conventional grip, the right shoulder is well below the left shoulder, and closer to the ball. If you stroke the ball from this position, the tendency is to strike “up” on the ball using a classic pendulum stroke (photo on right). This may produce more of a glancing blow rather than a solid strike. A solid strike is the objective.

left hand low In the photo on the left, notice that I have altered my conventional grip to a left hand low set-up. Observe that my shoulders are more level to the ground, and that both shoulders are equidistant to the ball and ground. When I stroke the ball from this slightly altered position, there is more of a balanced stroke back and forward through the ball. My follow through is lower (see pic on right), and I guarantee that from this position I will hit more “solid” putts. Try and visualize the head of the putter working like the pendulum bob on a Grandfather clock, do you get the picture now? Give this method a try and you may find a better picture on your scorecard.
