Universal Greed

How is it that, while the middle class in America is (collectively) the most powerful voice in the country, they still tend to get the raw deal in nearly every situation? While I'll claim to know the answer, the situation still boggles my mind. The Middle Class is GREEDY! Follow the guy who says he's gonna give you something. It doesn't even matter if you know he has nothing to give... Follow him anyway.

Of course in the end you get nothing besides the leadership of a liar, who will use his power to help his powerful friends and whatever other powers helped to persuade you to give your support. It's sooooo surprising when the systems they implement go bottoms-up.

The purpose of government has been greatly compromised. Government exists ONLY to ensure an environment exists that allows its citizens to live up to thier full potential. It's not there to do something for you... It's there to tell you that you can do it for yourself. Or at least that's what its supposed to do...

I Can Lead A Nation With A Microphone

O, the talking... But not the truth. The tax burden on the Middle Class. Obama wants to decrease this, and raise the burden on the 'rich'. And a lot of these rich guys don't seem to like it! I've seen MANY of them bickering on the news about how Obama is gonna 'raise taxes'. Now since we know the real plan is to LOWER tax on families making under 250k/yr, I'll face the arguments that may SEEM to make a little more sense.

Really the only comeback the Republicans can make is: It would be catastrophic to take extra $ from investors & businesses in this economic downturn. Hmmm, yes, I'll admit this sounds somewhat compelling. But wait a second... I can remember a time when the Bush administration provided an economic stimulus package. Now, to hold consistant on the Republican position, that 90 billion dollar stimulus package should have gone into the hands of the rich investors and business executives. But it didn't! No, to stimulate the economy, they sent tax rebates to the middle class. So I only ask one thing of anyone believing what they hear from that side... THINK before you vote.

Bring Back The Music With Meaning...

Waiting on the next Rage Against The Machine.

Thanks for The Advice.....Dusch-bag!!!

We're all up in arms over the rising fuel prices (yes, me too). The question is, what should we do about it (I'll save MY thoughts as they may be too logical for the vast majority and I kinda wanna fit in). I see people on the news EVERY DAY. "the Oil Companies should do this....that....this...." One commercial drew my attention. It's for Brittish Petroleum (BP). In it, there's regular folks explaining how the oil companies have to move into alternatives etc, etc, to get the prices down. After this, it shows the investments BP is making in alternative fuels. Nice touch!

Now, do you really think explaining to the oil companies is going to work? There's a reason those guys are bringing home 50 million a year as compared with your 50 thousand. They're not stupid! Just picture someone explaining to YOU how to decrease your Net Worth! Even the dumbest among us wouldn't go for that. "Thanks, but no thanks." Think people... Or at least shut up!

FL & MI

Yet another thing that blows my mind... With all the reporting that's going into this story, and I just want to know who the people are that made the decision to hold thier primaries before they were allowed. If these people have not been forced into retirement it's an abomination of the democratic party considering one of thier main beefs with the Bush administration is the lack of 'accountability'.

This whole thing is a joke. If you ask me, the dufuses who made the decision should be fined enough money to pay for another state primary. If I can get fined for going 50 in a 40 zone these people should definately have to pay for wrecking a national election.

So when it comes down to it, we do have a choice. 4 more years of Bush, or 4 years of a new incompetant party.

For those of you out there who want change, just go out & buy a new shirt.

Think For Yourself (Or At Least Let Someone Intelligent Do It For You)

OK, it's taken a while to find another thing that bugs me, but I finally did it (and yes, it involves politics). It's commonly accepted that the economy is issue #1 in the upcoming U.S. election. Of course if you ask me it should always be issue #1, but most people don't mind being blissfully ignorant until oil hits 100 bucks a barrel.

So here's MY issue. We know the economy is #1. Hillary & Obama are pretty much neck & neck in the race (although Obama is looking to clinch the nomination). But, Hillary Clinton's campaign is $20M in debt! And she keeps lending money TO HERSELF! And she's performing solidly in the national polls? WHAT? The economy is issue #1, and we have a finalist (who is still performing very well) that can't even run a campaign without going into serious debt? And she's supposedly doing extreemly well with voters who say the economy is the biggest issue.

I'm no genius, but I'd think twice before I took financial advice from someone up to thier neck in credit card debt, so I sure as hell wouldn't want them running the country.....

"Pregnant Man Speaks Out"

Ok, I'll make this short. This has been all over the news for two weeks now. A dude. A PREGNANT dude! I'll admit I was a little curious, but never read up on it, or looked into it until I saw it coming up on Oprah (ya, I know...). So I turn the channel to see whats the fuss.

Sure enough, out he strolls. A dude. A PREGNANT dude! And two minutes later comes the kicker... HE was born a SHE! Needless to say, this sucker turned the channel out of disgust. And not because of the sex-change deal, but because it's NOT a big story. It's NOT a pregnant man, it's a pregnant woman. Big deal...
