Posted on April 3, 2012 at 2:48pmEconomist? Control on the Fed level leads to business leaving the country. Control at the State level will lead to business leaving the state. Don’t they ever learn…?

Posted on April 3, 2012 at 7:56amHow in the world did we even get to the point where discussing taking private property from one person and giving it to another is considered serious public policy?

Posted on April 3, 2012 at 8:15amThat’s the whole point of what the left is trying to do. It’s easier to take something from someone who actually earned it then to actually work for it yourself. I mean to work for it would take effort and dedication to meet personal goals. That way everyone gets a trophy!

Posted on April 3, 2012 at 10:18amThis is about power and control..as written by Saul Alinsky in Rules for Radicals ( Obama‘s and Hilary’s playbook, dedicated to Satan for one who dared to go against God gained his own kingdom)..Tell the poor that you will give them the property the wealthy ..thereby securing their vote..then take everything from everyone…thereby securing the wealth and the power for oneself..this is what happened in Communism..see here in a few short clips

Posted on April 3, 2012 at 12:15pmIt’s the philosophy of pandering. Politicians learned that they can protract their careers and their fortunes by using one (demographic) class of Americans against another class.
We all commonly understand this as the lust for the trifecta of human existence: Money, Power and Influence.
Next, we all know that lust “IS” the most animal of all emotions known to the animal kingdom. And “IS” the hardest to suppress or control.
I’m not making excuses, I’m just pointing up the facts. You can’t possibly tell me that a career splitting hairs over trivial issues has any lasting value for people who consider themselves THE intellectual elite of the world.
No, there “IS” personal motivation. And that motivation “IS” tied to the same motivators that have always, well, motivated people. And I CAN give you example after example after example of our politicians, even our most revered politicians, using YOU and ME as levers for the fulfillment of their personal lust.
Redistribution of wealth “IS” a portion of the fulcrum used to pry Americans into each other. Not away from each other. The idea “IS” to cultivate that same lust in the form of envy. Despicable. I know. But, you don’t have to be a savant to see this is the truth.
Nothing “IS” ever ‘fixed.’ It only perpetuates. This “IS” organized robbery by the government. And it can’t be stopped, only slowed. And Americans are the only speed bumps.

Posted on April 3, 2012 at 5:09amRedistribute my lawn mowing, my housecleaning, my electric bill, my grocery bill. If I have to give my money to you, then you should be helping me with all of the above. I need to get something for my money. I have always begged my representatives to make a person work if they get to open my pocket book and steal my money. They need to work for me. I have to hire a painter to paint my house. Why can’t these people on the dole do this for me?

Posted on April 3, 2012 at 3:10amObama-vision: Our Organization is actively entertaining the prospect of the United States Government take over of Comcast Communications.
Report Post »The Revenues generated by this company would be best in the hands of the Federal Government to APPLY the BILLIONS TOWARDS BALANCING the budget.
Since this company has been charging unfair prices to the citizens of this country taking full advantage of the fact Folk have no other means of entertainment that is affordable. How low can these Execs. get?!
Since communication is vital in this day and age to follow elections, emergency broadcasts, and other educational matters – a higher authority clearly is necessary in place of the individuals currently running the company today. coming soon:

Posted on April 3, 2012 at 1:20amWhat is income inequality? Is it different incomes for different people? Or, is it different income for the same work? Or, is it different income for the same effort? (Careful, here, there is a BIG difference between effort and work!) Once again, in our common vernacular, we have lost the meaning of words and phrases, which is why we cannot have meaningful disussions about some very important things. Every rational being wants ‘social justice’, which is equal opportunity for all; but that is not the same as ‘Social Justice’, which is more of a participation trophy! Government refereeing a business climate is fine; government managing a business environment is a REALLY BAD IDEA!
