YAAAAAAAAAWWWWNNN !!!!

As you can see, I've renamed my blog: make changes for yourself where ever you need to in order for us to keep in touch.

First I want to give you a link to investigate. http://www.american.com/archive/2007/november-december-magazine-contents/ It has some gobble-dee-gook, but it isn't very hard to get through the stats so you can learn the truth about who pays taxes, and how much.

President Obama gave a stump speech this morning, trying to make it sound like he was interested in solving the financial crisis this country is in, and has been in for some 3 years. Obama swaggered out with the standard Progressive class warfare rhetoric. You have to ask yourself: Who are the people responsible for the debt crisis this country is in? Who is responsible for confiscating money from hard working Americans? Who writes and makes the laws? So, why are the Americans told they have to "pay their fair share", as if we haven't already.

For almost 100 years these politicians have been making this law and tweeking that law until rules, regulations and legislation have become a strangle hold on Americans, and now, after some of us have been successful despite the attempts of the politicians to make us all slaves of the Federal Government, we are told we are greedy; that we don't have a right to be successful and wealthy and to be certain of that, the Fed's want to take more of what we earn. BUT, the "Feds" still want more than 50% of Americans to NOT pay taxes, so they can almost be certain of re-election; and they do that by telling you there are some Americans that just simply make too much money and those that do should give it to you, instead of keep it for themselves or reinvest it.

After WWII. times were tough, jobs were hard to come by and to help corporations out, the Federal government agreed to let corporations deduct medical benefits and vacation time as benefits to employees, in order to get this country working again. As time went on, more and more benefits were demanded of corporations, mostly by unions, and finally the Fed's decided to impose HMO's, another boondoggle of the Progressives, spearheaded by Ted Kennedy.

After some 30 years, Politicians decided that HMO's were not working, even after all the tweeking, and pushed corporations to provide Major Medical, PPO's and cafe medical benefits, while allowing those same corporations the right to charge its employees a "copay". In the meantime, the Federal Government began charging the working class of Americans for Medicare, and having the mandatory payment automatically deducted from their paychecks.

Now, the Progressives jammed through the National Health Care bill that reduced Medicare by 500 million dollars and will put an end to people living too long and getting too much medical care, all the while telling you they care about you. And of course you know there isn't a single politician that uses the same medical "benefits" they  require for us.

In summary: Politicians dream up these nightmares, impose them on us, confiscate our earnings to pay for them, do not use them for themselves but have better plans and even those WE are required to pay for, and when we still find a way to survive and succeed, they struggle to find ways to try to get us to envy or fight against each other. But tell me something, did you ever hear of a poor politician? Did you know that most of them will receive 1/2 of their salary as a retirement package after "serving" for just 10 years? And they automatically get a raise every year unless they vote against it. So how much do you think it costs to retire all those millionaires from Washington and pay for their medical benefits, hmmmm?!

And when there just isn't anything more to provoke you with, they roll out the class envy/warfare stuff. Did you ever ask yourself why you might be upset with Bill Gates who has made technology such a everyday necessity for all of us with his computers etc and then Steve Jobs with the ipads and ipods, and while changing the American society and the way we live, they helped to make thousands of millionaires? Why should you be mad or upset with them? Are you not grateful for the standard of living these guys helped to produce for you? Are you not better off because of them? Then why begrudge them their due? Look, you too can go to school, get a degree in computer programming or software design or whatever, and make a bunch of money, instead of listening to the President tell you that they are not paying their fair share. They pay taxes for every penny they work for, then they pay taxes on the money they invest.....would you be better off if they just decided to make ex-amount of money and then stop producing the next great gadget? Why let this President try to convince you that Jobs, Gates, the billionaire Buffett is not paying enough. Remember, it is the politicians that made the tax code; whatever anyone is paying is what the politicians decided they should pay.

Obama acts like he just landed here and shazam, he found out that some people make more money than others or that some are better off than others or that some are willing to work to get more wealth than others. And now he wants to "fix" that. Politicians write the tax code; ask Charlie Rangle who managed to "forget" to pay his taxes or Tim Geithner or Daschal; these rascals write the code, avoid paying their "fair share" and want you to get mad at the guys who are really making a difference.

We don't need class warfare rhetoric; we need a new breed of Politician. Someone who wants every American to have a chance to obtain as much wealth as he wants or can honestly get. There is no reason to limit wealth to just a few. If there are 300 million Americans, then we should all have an equal chance to get as wealthy as we can, and that is not done through taxation. The time is right for a new tax code altogether. The time is right for the Fair Tax to be implemented. Then get out of the way because America will grow and people will prosper according to their own initiative, not by trying to take it away from someone else. Any way, taking money from the wealthiest people in America, is not going to make you better off. You might have bad spending habits or bad investment habits, and taking money from someone else will not solve your problem.
