We turn now to a FOX 5 I-Team hidden camera investigation that relies on a skill we all learned in kindergarten: adding.
You know, two plus two equals four. FOX 5 I-Team reporter Randy Travis learned a different lesson: you shouldn't trust the math skills of some people who sell you pine straw.
Pine straw is a huge business in our state. These days some charge as little as 4.50 a bale to bring it your house... and spread it where you want. How do you know you're getting what you paid for? You've got to start the Pine Straw Count.

There's an easy way to count bales. Every bale is strapped. Put the straps in a pile and count the straps. But it he had done that, the PC crowd would have accused racism and bigotry, both of which exist for a very good reason. If you don't understand the reason, watch the video again and listen to how the thieves reacted when caught lying and cheating.

Mike Hegarty sometimes I leave it around the pine and conifer trees for the same reason. Although pine needles are highly acidic and will acidfy the soil over time. Making non acid loving plants harder to grow. Interesting nonetheless as landscaping is different everywhere

Three guys came up to me when I was outside working. They tried to scam me. I knew it was a scam. I watched from the window and counted. I counted 18 they said 60. They laid it super thin. I took the invoice inside and bought out my video camera and told them I called the police. They took off. I got free pine straw. The problem with string is they have an extra stash handy.

The reporting? See how brave I team is when it comes to the families that own the "federal" reserve banks, that ripped all of us off for at least the 2% tax they call inflation. And turning all of us into slaves via the income tax they cash in for printing 10ct worth of green paper bills and not only selling them for 100$ each to the treasury but also charging interest i.e. selling and lending them at the same time!! And all that while the treasury could print those bills for free, debt- and interest free!! Guess we will never see that happen because FOX5 owners rather spread hate and mistrust amongst the debt slaves!!

If they are thrown in jail how long are they going to stay there? If they get their lives in order and prove they can stay honest, the state can pay for the removal of the tattoo.
