Immigration Amnesty? What would our ancestors think? Generations ago immigrants came to this great land for the opportunity to live in a free land and to work hard. They wanted a better life for themselves and their children. Immigrants were proud to be accepted,legally,as an American. It was something to be proud of. They were proud to learn English and be a contributor to their community. We are now in a time where people come to America for the social programs our government provides. Too many find it easier to come illegally than legally. Becoming a "legal" American isn't that important as long as they receive the benefits America has to offer. They would prefer to be a...

Bush Tax Cuts for the Wealthy; Who is the President Talking About? When the President talks of repealing the Bush Tax Cuts for the wealthy; is he referring to those families that sacrificed to start businesses? Does he mean those that took out loans against their homes, borrowed on their credit cards and worked 15 hours a day for years? Could he be talking about the start up family businesses, that took a risk, knowing that a small percentage of small businesses are successful, to try to make a better life for their families? Are these the same business people that give employment to people in their neighborhoods; pay them wages, fund their 401(k) plans, contribute to workman’s compensation, unemployment compensation and FICA? Might...

Camel's Back !!! Baloon Bursting !!! What about our Debt??? Our parents and grandparents were appalled when the Government’s spending and debts were put in numbers as Billions and Tens of Billions. Now our government expects us to accept Trillions as the norm. Make that Tens of Trillions!!!! There is a straw out there and the camel's back is sagging!!! Remember watching a child pushing a pin into a balloon. One second the balloon is filled with air and then, in an instant, it has burst. The child cries and apologizes. He can’t understand what happened. He didn’t mean to break the balloon. While he was pushing in the pin, the child felt in control. Everything was going his way. Only after the balloon burst did he realize he went too...

A Politically Incorrect Way to Help the Economy A politically incorrect way to help the economy Entice the well-to-do to spend, spend spend! While the incentive programs to help the public by houses, cars, and other consumer items, might be helpful; it might not provide enough capital into the economy. In order to get the economy moving at a respectable pace, more consumer spending is needed. Who better to provide that spending then the people that have money? If the goal is to reduce the inventory of unsold houses, let’s give people an incentive to buy a second or third home. Won’t they then buy furniture, pay real estate taxes, employ service workers and add money to the local economy? If the goal is to get people jobs, let’s get...

Some may think that “Tax the rich, feed the poor, Till there are no rich no more” are only lyrics from the Ten Years After song “I’d Love To Change The World”. Unfortunately, there may be some truth in those lyrics.
The growth of government and its runaway spending needs to be curtailed. All the taxes in the world won’t solve our problem if spending continues at its current pace. Unpopular decisions will need to be made and some pain will be felt throughout our country. That will be the price we pay to get us on the path of financial security.
Increased tax rates is not the solution. A thriving economy is. A robust nation will produce more employment, more successful companies, new companies, entrepreneurship and a better feeling...
