The Sept. 11. story involved the issue facing the U.S. and the lack of our nation addressing these issues.
85 percent of the population is dumber than a box of rocks, with 5 percent dumber than that. Which means, 85 percent of the population either refuses to find out the truth on issues or ignores the truth because it is not convenient. The 85 percent do something based on "other people doing it so its OK"
Breathing, consuming food and drink, removing waste, are the only absolutes humans need to live, everything else has to do with the quality of that life.
Individual issues and concepts in life are inter connected. A flood in a Tibet Mountain Village impacts the cost of Tootsie pops in Arkansas. ( yes I made that up as an example )
These are basic themes, these are what I want you to take away from these blogs. Though I do express my views, I don't want you to say, "Yes Frank is correct, ( feel free, to vote for me in 2012 ?) but I want you to think, to look into issues that you care about. To focus on what impacts your life and realize there are only a few absolutes, you have to live by, and question things until you have a comfort level that you are reacting to the truth.
As stated, I was listening to excerpts of the candidates speech's. I have to apologize, I wanted to be unbiased, but its not possible. As the candidates talk about their plans to save our economy and restore jobs to the United States and than in the back ground the crowds cheering them. These people have to be the 5 percent dumber than the 85 percent ? Mr. Romney telling voters to cut government regulations and lower taxes?
I know, I know... it sounds really great. I does, I'm not being sarcastic. Cut taxes and stop regulations. You know what you end up with? No social programs and 15 percent unemployment, with 20 percent under employed.
First, we don't need new laws and regulations. Enforce what we have on the books for starters.
"An IRS report indicates that, in 2009, 1,470 individuals earning more than $1,000,000 annually faced a net tax liability of zero or less."
While this is old news, the statistics have not changed, if any thing they have gotten worse. The list of industries that have paid below the 35 percent corporate tax has grown. Perhaps my favorite is G.E. that paid about 11 percent taxes, while you and I paid our 32 percent. NOT including State and City.
But we are in a war. Republicans love to remind us of this. Right or wrong this is a war for our freedom and liberty. This is what the Republicans tell us. They also remind us we are 6 trillion dollars in debt. Raise taxes, if its a war, and we need to win this war, raise the taxes.
No I'm not crazy, when I say raise taxes, I only speak of , remove the cuts George Bush Jr. put into effect in 2001. We are at war, we're American, we make sacrifices for our noble causes, roll back the tax cuts until the war is over ? Americans have done this in ever war we have been in, is our generation any less patriotic??
Are we not made of the same metal as our parents and grand parents? I don't expect the Democrats to do it, Democrats only know how to follow the latest poles; its up to the brave god fearing Republicans to move our nation to there patriotic duty and pay for the war against those opposed to our way of life.
1) roll back the tax cuts. Would I like this, especially since I know it will impact me? Hell no.....but would I like to ensure my grand children have a stable economy to live and work in. Yes, I will sacrifice for them.
2) Make everyone pay their fair share, not more. Don't make millionaires pay more, but pay their fair share. You don't get to write off dinners as business expense. Or the art work in the lobby of your office building. Every one pay what is the fair amount on the money you make period. We don't need new percentages, just proper enforcement of the rules we have in place.
3) Go after fraud in government. ( stop laughing) . Do it one case at a time, eventually people notice and the lesson comes home that, "defrauding the government is no longer worth it"
You want to bring money back into the system, Roll back the tax cuts, make everyone pay the fair amount, and cut out the fraud. You do not have to eliminate SSI, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and every other social program. Cut out the fraud and the money will be there.
This part you do not want left to me, because I would execute anyone who has defrauded any of this services up to and including single mothers, dead beat dads, doctors and lawyers. My view is simple; social programs are contracts with the general society. You are on the governments dime...or mine ( taxes) if you are dishonest, you are stating to me and my fellow tax payers you have no regard for society. My society. There fore I have no need of you. You have proven you have no regard for me or society, you also don't care about your children except for for the money they can bring in for you with social programs, so I don't need you. ( I know of one friend who is struggling not to blast me over this, but he is used to me by now. I told you I'm not a liberal, I prefer practical Democrat with moderate republican tendencies )
But lets focus on this. The Republicans want to take out of health care,and any social welfare programs, birth control. No I'm not making this up. Listen to your candidates closely, the Republican Candidates in order to save money, want to take birth control ( not talking about abortion, I'm talking about condoms, birth control pills, inter uterine devices, pamphlets about birth control, etc) out of health care and any social programs.
Now I realize that the "New " Republican base doesn't believe in science or evolution ? But I did think that they Republicans especially the "TEA BAG" party knew where babies come from? Please tell me they do know that intercourse between a human male and female has the potential to create a baby? And that by removing birth control methods and devices, you increase the likely hood of more births, even the evil ones?? The god less heathens will also produce. If you want to reduce the number of godless heathens would you not want to increase the use of birth control and methods of contraception ????
But not our Republican buddies. This is not a tangent, but a fact you better get used to. Currently there are 6,000,000,000 billion people on the planet that is 6 billion, and I know that number is higher but I cant get a consistent count. Oh what the heck there are now 7 billion of us, and that is with the wars, diseases and natural disasters. The planet can support this, as a matter of information, the planet can support many more. Probable about 18 billion people. HOWEVER, oh you knew there was a however, It can not support 18 billion, 10 billion , 9 billion or the 7 billion at the same level of standard of living.
For you 5 percent dumber than the 85 percent who might be reading this. The planet cannot support 7 billion people if they all have 48 inch plasma screen TVs, two corn dogs, mini keg, and a pick up truck with a rifle rack. YOU have to decide who gets them, planet no hold that many at that standard. Which means YOU, tell republican , no more baby, sex good, baby not good ! For the rest of you, its a decision on the level you want to live at, or more important what level you want to pass on, because odds are fairly good your standard will not get worse. It was discussed way back in pre history, 1978 that the world could only support about 6.5 billion at the current standard of living.
Its really simple, tell the candidates regardless of party, to mind there own business regarding making more people to inhabit the planet. If free birth control means I can have my two corn dogs and a flat screen, yeeh haa, sign me up.
Want to lower the unemployment rate. Well lets start with the rules on the books. When you; corporate America decide to chicken out and run from the US to pay some one in a third world nation 5 dollars a day and a beating just to keep them in line. So the companies " Over lords" or supervisors can trade rice for sex on some 9 year old Asian girl making Re-BUCKs sneakers. Those same skeevy companies are supposed to "Train" the workers they betrayed and laid off with another skill. That doesn't mean train them for Blimp Pilots, that field is not so big any more. But yes they are supposed to train the people being laid off so the company can go exploit foreign workers. And yes, I truly hope that I can get some readers of this blog especially the patriotic god fearing one, cause the sex trade for working in a factory is very real, but that's another blog.
Government regulation is killing our economy?? I would have to say that is possible a 50 /50 for being true. It has the potential to be true. However, fact, the places that don;t have regulations are called "death traps" Ask the republicans why the Chinese Media do not blink and eye when they loss 500 dead in a mining accident. Because they loss over 10,000 annually. NO regulation.
Government is not there to create jobs ( I know they do but that's another blog) Private industry creates jobs, BUT government regulation keep private industry from killing the rest of us. Those regulation insure ( only if enforced) a safe work environment, and safe products for the public.
Now Mr. and Mrs Republican candidate we could cut those regulations. We could grow our economy with out those regulations and introduce the new product lines. "baby formula w/h improved rat poison added" " Lead coated pacifier or the new cadmium flavored"
If any of the idiots the Republicans have fielded had said they wanted to review the regulations and eliminate those that don't apply , that are duplicate, that are out dated. We I would fully support that. But that's isn't what they say... never mine said...they repeat it. Hey how much poison is acceptable in your coffee or juice?? Want George Bush Jr. to decide for you?
I m repeating myself yet again, but the message is worth it. In 2011 the Democrats tried to pass a bill that gave tax benefits to companies that started in the US and promised to stay here for a period of time or existing companies in America that employed or expanded to more US employees.
You 5 percent dumber getting this: American company, and American workers, get lower taxes
Republicans say NO. Did we all miss something here, jobs, America, lower taxes and the republicans refused to bring it to a vote. Not even a vote... of course the gutless Democrats just took it, but I thought republicans wanted jobs and lower taxes.... Maybe next time you are at a Sarah Palin rally you could ask her why she didn't push her party to pass this one.... better yet ask Mich why?
I wrote an email to a friend and he suggested I use it. I think he is write, it was written out of bitter frustration but its accurate.
"Since I am biased against that happening to our grand children, I deliberately failed to mention that typically when you run into one of those children in the middle east, they can speak several languages and do the exchange rate in there heads without a calculator….perhaps it could be a good thing???? ( this section refers to our children forced to sell souvenirs to make a living when our economy collapses )
Of course the dream team could happen…. Rick Perry and Sarah Palin, than we could keep an eye on Russia, while we burn books and homosexuals. And the bible belt would rule. Oh who am I kidding its not funny that they are even letting these people speak??? Yes I bet if I went out to Ohio or Idaho and ask a random person…. “ What is your most important issue governmental speaking “ he or she would say the deficit… Sure, not that they haven’t work in 2 years. …. Or there kids got laid off at McDonald's ….. not one out there is worried about jobs or not being able to afford a doctor….they are all worried about a 100 year old deficit????? And the media believes this??? Fred…we are dead…. “Dead nation walking here”
My plea to you the readier is simple. WE must do what is not comfortable, this is our time under fire. Our parents where tested, and there parents. Paying taxes is not fun, but paying your fair share is the duty of a citizen in a society, think of it as patriotic. Stopping fraud in our social programs is our elected officials. duty. Stop being sheep. Vote for what you know, as fact. If you find yourself cheering over what a candidate said, find out what the candidate really meant !
