Government at this moment is unwittingly (purposely??) enacting job destruction policies. Presently public employees are paid far more than private employees for comparable work and if you do the math you will see that every 2 public jobs created destroys at least 3-4 private sector jobs. Whether we like it or not, the bottom line is that government, rightly or wrongly, siphons money, jobs and resources from the private economy. Should taxes go up in 2011 as scheduled, this will only shrink the private economy and accelerate private job destruction. Words: 1026

How can you go into your neighbor’s home and kill his family, then call him the aggressor? And now they’re talking about invading Iran! It’s all about racism and greed. Think about it-- as bad as the Germans and Russians treated the Jews over the years, you’d think the Jews would have been given part of one of those countries. If they’d done that, European Jews wouldn’t have even had to leave home. But White folks don’t play that - no matter how much they hate each other.

Inflation is often called the stealth tax. It secretly steals your savings and transfers your money to those at the head of the line who first got the ‘magic’ money. Who is that? It’s the government and the banks. Unfortunately, the volume control on the ‘magic’ money machine has been cranked up to full blast and the machine is cranking out Trillions of dollars – more than has ever been dreamed of before – and the day the piper will be paid is rapidly approaching.
