Our New Country

 Years ago, I took a marketing course in advertising.  That is when I felt 15 years ago our country was in serious trouble.  I will explain why. Up until now, the election of Bill Clinton was the biggest travesty in American history.  I say Clinton because we did not know how terrible Jimmy Carter was going to be back in 1976.  When we elected Clinton, we should have known about liberals in the White House.  Americans had no excuse for electing Barak Obama, but  should have expected it.  You see, each time we prepared an add project for the class, we were reminded that the typical American adult does not absorb or comprehend anything more than what a 12 year old does!  Now, what are 12 year olds like?  No attention span. Impulsive. A favorite word is "mine!"  They are easily led astray by misleading promises and easy ways out.  Charisma and trend over substance.

This explains the elction of Barak Obama. I am not saying anything new that he broke several campaign promises with this incredibly irresponsible spending package.  Can I now use the expression, "Obama lied, the economy died?"  I digress.  The fact is, no rationally thinking adult mind could possibly support such nonsense.  However, as I pointed out, millions of  selfish, non caring Americans blindly followed this empty orator and voted him into office.  The press?  The liberal politicians?   Obama, himself?  These are very smart, devious men building their own power at the expense of our country.  Do you really think these tax cheats Obama tried to roll in are sincere?  They voted to raise middle class citizen's taxes many times over.  Only the elite liberal doesn't pay taxes.  This is very similar to the system the USSR followed.  People actually thought Obama was going to pay for their house and gasoline!  Obama never said any words to discourage such nonsense.
 
The very sad part is, many well intentioned citizens(although uninformed or simply ignorant in the area of economics) feel better now that the "stimulus" package will help millions of Americans.  I hope the liberal mind wakes up, but once you get a free ride....  Not only won't this ridiculous package work, but we have just ruined our children's lives for amny years to come. When do we get it through our heads that tax breaks for those who do not pay taxes is not tax relief?  How does that stimulate the economy?  It only stimulates more class envy, more lower class liberal votes.  These people will never be allowed to better themselves because they know the upper income citizens will be taxed more to subsidize their income. Soon, there will be no incentive, no reason to produce.  The liberal politicians win by securing their power and dominence over ordinary citizens.
 
This is not an exaggeration.  Think it through.  Are all these liberal leaders ignorant of economics?  Are they stupid?  if you think so, you are also in that 12 year old thinking range.  They are very smart......smart at consolidating their power. 
 
I believe the class envy poeple like Barak Obama encourage will lead to a very horrible revolution. That would be the positive result.  At worse, we become a socialistic country like the old USSR with fixed elections, no freedom of speech (the Fairness Doctrine is the most ridiculous title for a law I ever heard!)  no incentives and long lines for everything from food to medical care.
 
Mr. Obama ran on hope.  How absurd is that!!!  All he has done is tell us what a catastrophy we have if we do not waste 3 trillion dollars!  Hope is lower taxes.  Hope is a real stimulus package of lower taxes and reducing spending. Let me give you a history lesson Mr. Obama.  Tax cuts always work!   They worked with reagon, they worked with Bush.  Spending is the problem. 
 
Conservatives, please note.  There is a better way, and if we ever want to get elected again, here is what we must do.  I believe if we don't take the following actions, we will never be elceted again. This is real change, Mr. Obama....this is American....please take note.
 
1.  Elimiate the IRS as we know it today, repeal the constitutonal amendment allowing income to be taxed, and enact a national sales tax or the so called "Fair Tax."  This removes all taxes from the poor so they can take care of their own families without government intervention.  (liberals hate that!)  This will infuse over 20 billion dollars into the economy overnight. If I have to explain that, then you have not paid attention to how much we spend on legal tax matters each year.  Money that is non productive and not good for our ecomomy.  Criminals get a free pass here. Make them pay the tax on goods they buy. Illegal aliens get a free pass.  If they are here illegally, they would not be eligile for the cost of living breaks our poor citizens would get. We pay rediculous taxes in Europe when we travel.  Well, what's good for the goose....  You see, we will bring in more omeny than ever before, and the economy will boom like never before.
2.  Health Care- Since we feel it is right to limit CEO pay, let's start in on lawyers.  Limit all liability suits.  Maximum attorney fees to be set maximum liability awards and punitive damge payouts to be limited.  helath care would return to reasonable costs. 
3. Cut all staffs for congressmen and senators in half.   Term limits to be enacted.
4. Reduce all government programs (except military) 10% immediately with the idea of phasing most of them to a reduction of 25%.  Then hold spending flat for 10 years.  With the new tax system, we can eliminate most of the war on poverty programs for good. 
5. We do not need to have a huge round up program, but when illegal aliens are identified, immediately expel them from the country and allow them the opportunity to go back to their country and apply to come here legally.  Incorporate a national ID card for all citizens.  This card must be presented to vote. No exceptions.
6. Begin aggressive oil drilling in the US. Get a fast track system for doubling our refining capability. At the same time, allow for tax breaks for companies that do research for alternative fuels.
7. Reduce tax rate for all business to 10%.  Give dollar for dollar tax breaks for companies that provide medical insurance for its employees and for retirement programs.
8. Finally, enact school vouchers for all citizens.  This drives me crazy that any inner city parent would vote for a liberal.  Why not just doom your child to poverty.  Allow parents to have the oppotunity to have their children apply to any school.  Let school's compete. Stop allowing teachers unions to run the school system. (I am a former teacher. The teachers union is appalling)  those of you doomed to poor schools...why would you ever even consider voting liberal?  This agenda should be number 1 on any conservative's candidate's platform. 
 
Have the guts to do the right thing, even when the press villifies you....even when you are not being politcally correct.  PC is not in our constitution.  Time for the silent majority to speak out. Empower people, save America before it is too late.  Start with the 2010 elections.

School Vouchers

Another major source of pain for me in this country is education.  I am outraged at the media and the liberal politicians that oppose school choice. This is the worse form of hypocracy I have ever run across.  You see, as well meaning as liberals are, you would think that school choice would be at the top of their agenda.  It simply shows what phonies they are, starting with our new president elect. Instead doing what is best for our children, they would prefer to pander to the ultra left wing teacher's union.  This is critical to the liberal politician.  As most educators are very left wing, (I know this as a ex-teacher)  the unions decide what is best for the teachers, not the students.  
I am very lucky.  My three sons lived in a district where while the teachers are mostly liberal, the education is really pretty good.  I reviewed their text books, and even their histroy books are not too bad.  I found myself correcting a few things for my sons, so they have the right perspective, but as a whole, not too bad.  Others are not so fortunate.  Have any of you seen what goes on in districts where the schools are not up to speed?  Like the Chicago Public Schools?   I find it amazing that President-Elect Obama choose the Chicago Superintendant to run our Department of Education.  Good heavens, I could not think of a worse choice, as the Chicago schools are among the absolute worse in the country.
 
Anyway, as we all pay taxes for schools, yes, even those in lousy school districts, why can't parents send their kids wherever they want to, using a voucher supplied to them?  Watch schools improve!!!  The teacher unions hate this, because it threatens them.  Now they must perform, and their jobs are based on how well they teach, not what the union can hold up the taxpayers for.  Now to be fair, there are many, many good teachers that would do a great job no matter what the circumstances. Most are dedicated and have the student's best interest at heart.  These teachers would be handsomely rewarded in a voucher system.  Why should they not make a better salary and benefits  if they perform better?  Let the market prevail!
 
Liberals cringe at this.  With the support of the teacher's unions, the teachers then promote liberal, damagaing agenda in the schools, raising good little liberals as they grow up.  I believe a citizen has a right to a good education, but at the same token it is a privaledge.  If a student does his work and follows the rules, he/she has a right to go to any school that will accept them. 
 
Have a great day in America, and help keep it the greatest nation on earth!

Welcome Everyone

Good Afternoon, Blog readers,
 
I have always wanted to start my own blog, maybe just a forum to get things off my chest.  The first topic that always irritates me is the tax system.  I am afraid we will never get real change in the system.  In order to do so, we will need polititians with real courage, as we had during the start of our incredibly fantastic country.  There were no income taxes in those days, and we had to pass a constitutional amendment to get one!  Heck, we even revolted over a tea tax worth a few cents.  I have studied all methods of tax relief and have come to one conclusion and cannot understand why the conservatives do not embrace this.  Help me experts!
 
Why not the fair tax?  It will certainly generate every bit as much revenue as we do now with our horribly punishing system and al so give some distinct and wonderful advantages.  Here is what I see.
 
1.  Low income families will be able to take care of themselves instead of government social programs. 
2.  Even though I am not a fan of social security, it would be saved.
3. Citizens will pay a fair share of taxes, but those strapped can choose to spend less and get automatic relief.
4. Illegal aliens....(yes that is exactly what they are, let's stop sugar coating it) will have to pay the tax and not get ANY relief.  Only citizens
    would be allowed rebates.
5. Foreign visitors would pay the tax as they use our goods and services.  Why not?  WE pay for theirs!
6. Crinminals cannot hide income anymore.  If they buy, they pay, too. 
7. Money would only be taxed once and fairly.
 
I encourage all of you to read about the fair tax.  We waste billions of dollars on tax lawyers who do nothing to promote our economuy.  We also allow our government to take away our freedoms that our forefathers faought and died for!!!  Can you say IRS?  Guilty until proven innocent?   All to support left wing programs.  Let's be the party of real change.  Let's start with the tax code, and really push this. Let's get educated.
 
Have a great day, all, and I hope you will participate in this blog!
