An Open Letter to Tiger Woods

privacy. He is so easily recognized that it is impossible for him to be a "normal" person. Payne Stewart did it best. He had a goofy uniform for his professional golf appearances, but when he took it off, people hardly recognized him. He could, for a good part, be invisible. Tiger can't. He is always a target for someone looking for their 15 minutes of fame.
If he is guilty of infidelty, he should fess up and the quicker the better... the sooner it will be forgiven & forgotten. He is an example for many, many young people. If he made a mistake, he has an opportunity to set an example for young people that is far, far more important than winning golf tournaments.
It is a private affair, but he is so public. A dilema. IF he...

Benjamin Franklin said: "I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way for doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer."

Once the moochers (the entitled poor), lead by the looters (liberal politicians) become more than 50% of the vote, they will simply vote themselves more entitlements from the filthy rich (the producers) that pay 97% of...

Higher Taxes, Anyone?

the suimulus problem without borrowing all those Billions of dollars. The incentives and consumer spending would be available immediately with no 1-2 year wait for the federal system to get the stimulus money moving.

Check out the Fair Tax bill, HR 25, on http://www.fairtax.org. No more IRS, no more income tax. You have no deductions from your gross pay. Your gross pay becomes your net pay. Every American individual and entity pays the Fair Tax, a federal sales tax. Products made in American become 22% less expnesive without the embedded IRS taxes imposed upon them. We create a tax free country that will attract investment from every direction. Learn about it and call your congress representative to co-sponsor it. It is...

What if Palin Were President?

much different from Obama. He was for amnesty, bailout and he endorsed global warming during the campaign. He is a liberal with a conservative cover. Most of us conservatives see thru him. Last spring I visited a $21 million spec home on Mummy Mountain, Phoneix. We were just looking for entertainment value to see how the rich & famous live, but I suggested to the realtor it would make a great retirement home for McSame. He served America well with his military service. Brave and beyond duty. But now he is DONE & has no future benefit to offer! He can no longer be effective. He is now reaping the gold from past favors. A good example to vote FOR Term Limits. He should retire and let a real conservative take his senate seat. ...

I think that John Galt would approve of the Fair Tax bill. That would make us 100% free... from taxes. No withholding, NO SSN or Medicare tax, no income tax, no capital gains or estate tax. The bill (HR 25) repeals the 16th Amendment, the income tax. Hidden embedded IRS taxes in our products are removed making them 22% less costly. Workers keep 100% of their pay check, an increase of 29%. IRS is closed and in its place, we pay a simple, transparent national sales tax of 23% at the point of sale to collect the same tax revenue that IRS now collects, only at a far less collection cost. It is a tax on spending, not or working.

Trillions of Am. money held off-shore would come home to US banks for reinvestment. Citizens would get...

The book should be required reading for every Congress Member and citizens who care about how our gov't & economic system works. There was mention that in the 1980's under Reagan we were 72% free...from taxes. I think we should be 100% free and vote only for candidates for Congress who support the Fair Tax bill (HR 25). This bill proposes to abolish the 16th Amendment that put an income tax on our earnings, our labor & our very lives. The Fair Tax would call for the closure IRS and stop collecting all the taxes it is charged with collecting. We would have 100% of our pay checks to take home, up an average of 29% for our current pay checks. The embedded IRS taxes burried in the costs of American products and services would be...

The Turning Point

I hope we can elect members of congress who will actively co-sponsor and support the Fair Tax bill, HR 25 in Congress. This bill calls for the repeal of the 16th Amendment which instituted income tax and IRS. The Fair Tax bill calls for the the closing of IRS which means no more income tax, no more capital gains tax, no more self-employment tax, no more SSN or Medicare tax, etc. In the place of these myriad list of complicated and complex taxes collected by IRS, we will have a single transparent consumption (National Sales Tax) tax of 23% on all "new" products and servcies collected when we spend money. "Used products are not taxed. The 23% sounds high, but when we eliminate embedded IRS taxes in the cost of producing products &...
on using PIGS. Great! I believe early last century that Gen. Pershing burried the mulsim terrorists in the Philippines with pig guts. We didn't hear from them for about 50 years.
It works.

Say it ain't so that we southeners all live in trailers and they don't appreciate in value...thus we have no vallue to lose. Wonder why the population in MA is shrinking. In MA they are closing schools, laying off teachers and adminstrators because people came to their senses and moved out of Taxachusetts. Too many entitlement programs for people to afford. A hand up is always better than a hand out. Best program to solve poverty is a "job".

And you sound a bit prejudiced. Do you remember the last hot spot for race riots in American schools...hummmmm, could it have been Boston! Yes. I believe it was.
