Reporting-Ethics was created or started 5 years ago. It was something that happened in a response from a challenge to do so by the IRS. They wanted someone to take a free service in which the had been costing the federal government millions and turn it into a profitable venture.
This started out being a small dot com backed up with a radio show KTAX. But as our founder was working on this project there were a number of different spin offs that happened. At last count, there are now four different Web sites and five different businesses that has spon off of Reporting-Ethics.
When this finally does get the opportunity to finally get off of the ground, they are all going to be creating a number of new jobs. Something the we (the Reporting-Ethics Republicans) see as being very beneficial for our sagging economy.
The only thing that "we" can think of that is slowing down the process is that a couple of "powereful people" got into trouble for trying to out smart us. But of course this comes with the territory, I mean we are basically contracting or doing some contract work for the IRS and federal government.
When all the stars finally do all line up and Reporting-Ethics is given the go, there are going to be a number of individuals who will be wanting employment with it. But at first most of these individuals are probably going to be former G-Men or people. They have all of the needed experiences and education needed. If I would have a choice, it would not be wise to take them up on this offer.

My intensions
My intensions of creating all four of these Web sites and my other services were to just try and help out. The IRS originally challenged me to take a free service they performed for us taxpayers and turn it into a profitable venture. Once it is up and running, it should be able to employ a number of individuals. Hopefully in the process, I have not pissed too many people off. But then again no matter what you do in life, this is uaually very hard to avoid.
Now that I have done all of this work, made the appropriate budgets, and everything else necessary I want to continue. But I do not think that this is my decision to get this done even if I was trying to do it.
I am still going to do about anything possible to make it a success. I have been investing too much of my time and my own money in it not to give it my all. From what I have heard from a number of individuals in which are also interested and are in need of some employment would be behind me.

Blogging quality
For those whom are reading my blogs, please be patient. I often have entered them just before having to go to work, on the spur of the moment and etc. I do it without giving myself enough time to edit my writings.
I just hope that based upon these facts, it does not make me look bad. For between my part time job, working on my Web sites and having fun, it does not give me the time to do the appropriate amount of editing of my own works.
A good example was the entry I made concerning putting a HQ Hotel in Portland. This is a plan that has been worked onn for some time, and us Reporting-Ethics Republicans were just putting in their two bits.
Thanks you for taking the time to read this and understanding.

Getting it started
Recently I was brainstorming on how I can finally get this project, Reporting-Ethics and other services, off of the ground faster. One conclusion I have arrived at was to get me fired or laid off on my current place of employment.
This is something in which I am not at all interested in doing. For I kind of like what I do, a conservative clerk @ Safeway. But I have been putting so much time on this project and I am more interested in finally getting it off of the ground.
If that would happen, then this would allow me to live off of my unemployment for a number of weeks. This would allow me a source of income until this gets off of the ground. If I would need another job to help pay my bills, then I would not have any problem getting another one during the up and coming Christmas season. The only problem would be they would usually end right after the holiday.
Then when these projects would be allowed to get off of the ground, I would be able to create jobs for so many positions. Many of the individuals it would employ would have been recently laid off at one of a number of different places of employment. Providing them with an additional way to build their nest egg, pay off mortgages, sending their kids to college, making those alimony payments and any other living expenses that need to be made.
By even publishing this entry, might be a mistake. For those federal people are reading my blog and might not approve. Even my employer and fellow employees might also be reading it and they might be mad at little (innocent!!!) ole Mason. when the "i" in my name stands for innocence!!!!
I have been spending all of my time and free time working on it to prefect it. Attempting to apply everything and any advise the "feds" have hinted to me to change it. For I want it to eventually do an awesome job once it is up and running.
I would like to even have some more time to do some more maintence work on my site and other services. For when they are all up and running, there will be a number of people whom will be gaining from my efforts. A lot more than would gain than having me continue to chase shopping carts in a local grocery store.
I am attempting to also respond to a number of friends and whatever whom have been recently laid off and due from the latest economic conditions. Most of which is a direct result of this sub prime lending, foreclosure ratings and other happenings. Making many of these individuals effected, coming up to me asking, "what is holding up the process? When are you going to start your hiring? All of the pieces are all in place. I ask this having bills to pay and my nest egg is running dry and I am being forced to move from my current residence."
All I am just want to do is help out. Thanks to all of this work I have been doing over these past years, I am in that position.
I usually have responded, "I want to help out, but my hands are tied. I do not know what is holding up the situation. I am doing everything has been suggested to me by them."
Based upon these facts, I can not think of any reason why my services are not up and running. Not only will many of these individuals situations effected by these recent down turns be improved. but also the city and metro area will gain from it. I just want to continue and help out the situation. In the process their will be so many people whom will be gaining from my efforts.
In my attempts to finally get this thing off of the ground, I am not at all interested in burning any more bridges. For if I would, then it would probably come back and kick me hard. But my intentions are still very good.

Our Guessimation
Our guesstimation on how big of move the Federal Reserve should be making in cutting the interest rate is a half point of one percentage point. We (the Reporting-Ethics Republicans) would make this move to hopefully jump start the mortgage industry and to help out the different financial and commodity markets. It will be the first of more to come.
In arriving at this conclusion, we are taking into consideration: the Mortgage market (foreclosure rates), Consumer psychology, Financial services/stock market and Commercial borrowers. All of these need to be taken into consideration when trying to take or tame the inflation rates.
We understand that this is quite a huge move. This is despite other armchair or coffee shop economists only calling for a quarter percent move. We trive living on the edge of it.
But we feel this amount needs to be made to jump start the economy. Something that has been hurt by the recent layoffs, sub prime mortgage problems and the conflict in the middle east. It will be the first of a number moves or drops the federal reserve will be making in the coming months.

It's the economy again
I have just gotten back from my morning cup of coffee. Today I read both the Portland Tribune and The Oregonian business sections with interest. Where a couple of reporters had written articles on how the economy is hurting again. Something that in my opinion is going to lead into another recession.
This was someting, even Mr. Greenpants, the guy whom headed the central bank system for 18-years, also agreed. This was something in which he did not admit, but I had to read between the lines. Something that he was well aware, but did not think it would have that big of an impact.
An example is poor Stockton CA. they have been named the foreclosure capital of the USA. A problem in which it effects 1 in 27 households. OUCH!!!! I just hope this prime lending situation does not effect Portland as bad.
There were other articles that we (the Reporting-Ethics Republicans) thought was very interesting. This one concerned the possibility of turning the Union Station in downtown Portland into a year round farmers market. This is something that would be very similar to the Pikes Peak Market up in Seattle.
But first there has to be a $40 + million dollar investment to get this accomplished. A figure in which would have to probably come from the private sector. For if I am correct and shortly after the Christmas season or new year we are headed into a recession. Then the city govern-ment will have no money to provide to this cause.
The same is the case for the HQ Hotel in near the Convention Center. The funds needed for this project will also have to be coming from the private sector.
But both of these projects definitely need to be happening. For the potential economic impact on our economy will be enormous. They alone would boost employment and increase tourism. Down the road, it would be very profitable for it to happen.

ANOUNCEMENT!!!!!!
I would like to thank my viewers for their contributions, (donations and/or subscriptions). My site has recently received a wopping 3 cent dividend check via our paypal account. This means we are 3 cents further in getting out of the "red" and we want to finally showing a profit. Yahoo!!!!!
As the PIC of The Reporting-Ethics Republicans, I can now go to my favor local coffee shop and tip the barista my 2 cents worth. I would do this and be able to walk away with change. This is an accomplishment we (the Reporting-Ethics Republicans) can all be proud of happening.

What is up?
I think this whole idea of working on this Web site and service is going to one day be a neat deal. For all my efforts will finally pay off and it will make a difference.
1) It will assist the federal or the IRS to do a job in which it can be done and make a profit. Then these profits will obviously be taxed.
2) It will be employing a number of people in a number of different areas. At what started out as just being a Web site and backed up with a radio show, has mushroomed into a number of other areas.
Right now it is just me doing most of it. Sure I do have another neighbor doing some editing work, but it is not much. But it has been very beneficial to what I am doing.
3) The economic impact at what I am working on should be enormous.
4) The only money I am making from this right now is via the donation and subscription button on each of the pages. I reallize this is not really that much, but it does add up after time. I have patience.
