Veterans of Valor - Because Freedom... isn't FREE!

As we get ready to celebrate our country's Independence Day, it's important to remember how we got that independence, and thank those who've helped keep us free.

I volunteer for a local not-for-profit called Veterans of Valor. It was started in 2007, by a Marine who was shot in the face, at point-blank range, in Falujah, Iraq while protecting our freedom. After his recovery, he started the organization with the sole purpose of helping veterans and their families recover… Continue

The Failed Policy of Social Security

“It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.” Those, now infamous, words of Charles Dickens parlayed well with the first quarter of the twentieth century. The United States had just come out of, what was then, the “Great War.” Coupled with the troops return home, the government’s expenditures for the war lead to a substantial increase in Gross Domestic Product. This transition from a war-time economy into a peace-time economy lead to the “Roaring Twenties,” and a time of… Continue

Closing Argument for John McCain

Taxes 101

Suppose that everyday, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100.

If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.

The fifth would pay $1.

The sixth would pay $3.

The seventh would pay $7.

The eighth would pay $12.

The ninth would pay $18.

The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to… Continue

What was the reason given for developing the Department of Energy during the Carter administration?

We have spent multi billions of dollars in support of this agency and I am willing to bet not one person who reads this knows the reason given.

It was very simple.

The Department of Energy was instituted to LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL!

Note: In 2008 the budget for this department is now at $24.2 Billion/year. They have 16,000 Federal Employees and approximately 100,000 contract employees.

So... maybe the Federal… Continue
