Pajamas TV Seeks Algorithm for College Grad Earnings

Internet TV company aids grass-roots movement

Conservative Internet TV company Pajamas TV has launched multiple initiatives to report on the economy and how it will affect future generations.

Contest

Last month the organization launched its “Generational Theft Contest.” College students can enter by to joining forces with professors to calculate the financial impact of the current economic environment on a 2009 college graduate. From Fox Business:

In particular, PJTV is looking for the best method or tool to forecast a bachelor’s degree holder’s annual income in 2014, 2019, 2024 and 2034 after factoring in the cost of current government programs, including TARP and TALF, and stimulus packages, including their associated interest payments, health-care reform, inflation, taxes, etc.

The grand prize is $10,000 for the college student or student team, and $10,000 for the professor. That should keep them from needing payday loans for a while. Read up on rules of the contest and how to enter the Generational Theft Contest.

Tea parties

Pajamas TV also focuses on coverage of the “tea parties” that have been springing up across the country. The next big event Pajamas TV will cover is the Tax Day Tea Party. The April 15 event is being sponsored by The Nationwide Tea Party Coalition. The theme of the event is “Repeal the Pork, Cut Taxes and Spending.”

The tea parties are part of an online grass-roots movement. Fox News Politics says:

“Conservatives may be catching up with their liberal counterparts in building a Web-driven, grassroots campaign to push their agenda.”

Tax Day

For Wednesday’s event, Pajamas TV will broadcast live a conference call between the leaders of four grassroots movements: Eric Odom from the Dontgo Movement, Jenny Beth Martin from Smart Girl Politics, Adam Waldeck, on behalf of American Solutions, and Michael Patrick Leahy, representing TCOT.

Those four organizations have organized the tea parties and run campaigns on Facebook and Twitter. Pajamas TV will begin airing shows tonight in preparation for the Tax Day Tea Party.
