Bankrupting Ourselves on Purpose?

The question I am posing I know I will take ridicule for. I understand we live in very trying political times and that much news coming out today can be seen as negative. I am only writing this because I want to tackle this problem and have genuine concern for my nation. I am not looking to blame anyone. The problem is here and both sides are to blame. Citizens must start having this conversation with each other before we face much harsher financial situations. Here is my question I am posing:… Continue

Not Just Another Tax Day....

Indianapolis along with many other cities on April 15th are hosting “Tea Party’s”. Why are they happening? They are happening because many Americans know the United States is financially bankrupt.

Who's The Owner of This House?

I myself do not believe that global warming or other weather shifts are due to pollution from humans. My feeling is that global warming policies that uses government to tax its citizens is a basic ponzi scheme similar to programs like Social Security. I figured I would post this… Continue

Joe The War Veteran?

First, this video was never paid for by the McCain Campaign and was done by a McCain supporter. Second, it has over 11 million hits. While Democrats may use those hurt by the economic downturn, Republicans are promoting those who are Iraqi war veterans and their personal videos are now popping up promoting McCain. Are Republicans catching onto social media? Continue

Poverty - More Than Just Feelings

Poverty is a fight that has been going on for many decades around the world. Too many times now, poverty is a political sound bite for politicians to get their programs passed to tackle poverty, like here in the US. Many treatments have been implemented to fight poverty: welfare, food stamps, job placement programs by federal and state agencies. Which is the best one is the main question many should ask. What is the hidden factors in causing poverty not only here in the US, but around the world?… Continue

Bailout Bill Hidden Jewels............

Below is the various tax breaks and tax goodies stuffed into the Bailout Bill. Wouldn't it be nice if we just had a 10% flat tax on income or my personal favorite, national sales tax. These deductions and our current tax system is getting to become a nice little tool for politicians to capture votes. Enjoy! Sec. 101. Extension of alternative minimum tax relief for nonrefundable personal credits. Sec. 102. Extension of increased alternative minimum tax exemption amount. Sec. 103. Increase of AMT… Continue

Fannie & Freddie

Here are some interesting stats I have been compiling since Saturday when I learned of the government taking over Fannie and Freddie. I know this being done on the weekend serves the purpose of not many talking about it, but it will directly affect your pocket book. Shall we begin......................... -Housing prices will continue to fall and will not stop for awhile. In fact, inflation will cause much of these price drops. The more people have to spend on items of necessity, the more hous… Continue

The Obama Speech

Here is a libertarian/conservative view of Obama's speech tonight. Most may disagree, but I just want some answers on how these policies will be done. Disclaimer: I am voting for Bob Barr(L) and sorry for any misspellings. -Talked way too much in the beginning about Bush. He is not running against Bush, but McCain. -"Hurrican Katrina" comments blamed on Republicans. Once again, the governor that was in during Katrina was voted out of office (Democrat) and now Bobby Jindal(R) is the governor. It… Continue

Alcohol On Sunday

On August 17th, 2008 (Sunday) at approximately 2130 hours, I consumed beer. Yes, it was on a Sunday and went against all values that Indiana law intended not to happen. Why does business such as alcohol sales on Sunday have to be regulated by state government? What role does this play into our lives and how does it help? If you want alcohol on Sunday, you will go get it no matter what. You will either buy it on Saturday or you will go to a friends house to enjoy the distilled spirits. The bars… Continue
