$1.03 B-b-billion in unpaid taxes by federal employees at the end of 2010. [ncpa.org] 1/25/12. My policy would be, if I were in office, for THEM to pay up now or be fired AND/OR immediately take what is owed out of their pensions.

1,000 days today since Democrats in US Senate have passed a budget. What are they hiding by not doing this? My guess is that Democrats do not want US voters to see their spending habits. So, Continuing Resolutions are giving cover to Democrats lack of openness. 1/24/12

Income equality or Freedom. We cannot have both. Tis impossible. Big Gov has an insatiable craving for US Taxpayer money.

Issue for Democrats: Making a profit by buying "raw materials" and then making products and then selling products at a profit. The risk is putting up your own money on the line. The reward is selling a lot of product and creating jobs. This is capitalism. Giving Big Gov "grants" to select green energy companies, for example, is not capitalism. That is a mixture of socialism and fascism.

Culture doing a 180:

• What’s good: Taking Big Dem Gov handouts. Having welfare babies. Not paying any taxes. Slamming wage earners. Wanting free college education.

• What’s bad: Capitalism. Earning power of money that comes from work. Not paying enough taxes. Working your way up to better jobs from starter jobs.

As Big Gov spending increases, unemployment rises. This is what Democrats seek. Keeps everyone on the plantation and beholding to them for their daily existence.


How long will it take Big Gov to receive your paycheck and then pay you what they decide is fair?

Fair Tax. Every Democrat who ran against the Fair Tax in the previous election, LOST. Heard on the Neil Boortz radio show on 1/18/12. Not verified.

Obama – Holder – DOJ - ACORN. Still working together despite proven fraud. [washingtonexaminer.com] 1/19/12

ACORN activists have long been involved in voter registration fraud, either directly or through its Project Vote affiliate. At least 70 ACORN/Project Vote employees have been convicted of voter registration fraud in a dozen states since 2006. According to a 2009 House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform report, approximately a third of the 1.2 million new registrations turned in by the two groups in 2008 were fraudulent.

Jobs today: College internships and volunteering

Jobs today: College internships and volunteering

Once upon a time in the Land of Oh Ap A Dah, college degrees opened the doors to good jobs. In times before Obama, getting that degree meant employment regardless of the field of study. That was then. This was now.

The link below is from a Washington Post article that current and soon-to-be college students AND PARENTS should read. It appeared in the Sunday business section on 1/22/12. 

The wise student will read and study it. Look closely at the unemployment data.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/not-all-college-majors-are-created-equal/2012/01/12/gIQAfz4XzP_story.html?tid=pm_business_pop

There are two very important suggestions in this article:

Colleges should provide internships. Some do not do this for all major areas of study, so students ...

Register for an independent study to gain some actual experience IN your field of study [and become known]. It goes on your transcript so treat it like a major course.

Tip: As a side note, students in many fields are required to do internships. Some students who do this are offered jobs after graduation where they did their internship.

and/or

Volunteer. Pick the local business, agency or some other place of employment that is in your field of study. If uncertain where to begin, just go knock on doors. Tell them you are a college student looking for experience in your field of study. Employers are very receptive to college students who are seeking experience. Then, watch and learn on the job. Come away from this volunteer experience with some knowledge that this is what you want to do. Remember ...

Work that you enjoy is not work.

TheRightJack would highly recommend that college students and those about to enter college do both but at minimum volunteer to get some real world experience.

One more time, study the unemployment data in this article. That’s an order.

Martin Luther King

Martin Luther King

70%-30%. When ML King gave his “I have a dream” speech, 70% of black families included a mother and father. That number is 30% today. 70% of black families today include many unwed mothers living with her childen and no fathers present.

How did it get that way?

1. Blame it on the US Tax Code. Mothers received more entitlement money for their children when there was no father in the home. So, fathers left the home for tax purposes, but not necessarily in practice.

2. Earned income tax credits originally reimbursed low income families for taxes paid. It has since been increased to pay back more than low income families pay in taxes.

3. Mothers receive SSI entitlements for having children, without limits.

The net result is that it pays to be low income and elected Democrats fight to keep it that way to assure that they get the low income vote.

If MLK were alive today, he would be a pro-lift Social Conservative, according to his neice. Heard on the radio today 1/16/12. How long will it be before her statement gets re-interpreted by the Left to clarifly what she really meant.

Big Gov Leadership

I am really concerned about North Korea's appointment of the "dear leader" Kim Jung Ill's youngest son to be the new leader of North Korea-- a nuclear power!

After all, Kim Jung Un (pronounced Kim's young-un?) had NO military experience whatsoever before daddy made him a four-star general in the military.

This is a little snot-nose twerp who has never accomplished anything in his life that would even come close to military leadership: he hasn't even so much as led a cub scout troop, coached a sports team or commanded a military platoon ... So, setting that aside, next they make him the "beloved leader" of the country. Terrific!!!

Oh, heck! I'm sorry. I just remembered that we did the same thing here.

We took a community organizer who has never worn a uniform and made him Commander-in-Chief; a guy who has never led anything more than an ACORN demonstration and made him the leader of this country.

I'm sorry I brought this up, never mind.

IPOs are easy money. Nancy Pelosi [D-CA] and her Del Monte husband have cashed in on at least 11 IPOs during her term in Congress. While our Congressional Representatives are not permitted to take cash gifts [just like football and basketball players], she and her esteemed colleagues like AlGore may accept the gift IPOs. IPOs may double or triple in value in a very short time when these gifts are given or purchased before they go on sale. Remember the legendary Hillary cattle profits. 11/15/11

Newt Gingrich, a Republican, served in the House from Georgia from 1978 and as House Minority Whip in 1989. He was Speaker of the House from 1995 to 1999. During that time he never made use of military aircraft.


Nancy Pelosi [left], Democrat from California, current Speaker of the House.


The Pentagon provides the House speaker with an Air Force plane large enough to accommodate her staff, family, supporters, and members of the California delegation when she travels around the country. But, Pelosi wants routine access to a larger plane. It includes 42 business class seats, a fully-enclosed state room, an entertainment center, a private bed, state-of-the-art communications system, and a crew of 16. Pelosi wanted "carte blanche for an aircraft any time," including weekend trips home to San Francisco. Pretty nice but very expensive perk! Her Air Force C-32 costs approximately $15,000 an hour or approximately $300,000 per trip home.


And she has the guts to confront the Big Three CEOs for flying their corporate jets to Washington!


You would think that she, along with a husband worth an estimated billions of dollars, would lease or buy and fly their own plane, or fly first class on commercial airlines like other fat cats.


NANCY PELOSI FACTS:


Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's home district includes San Francisco ...


Star-Kist Tuna's headquarters are in San Francisco, Pelosi's home district.


Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte Foods and is a major contributor to Pelosi.


Star-Kist is the major employer in American Samoa employing 75% of the Samoan workforce.


Paul Pelosi, Nancy 's husband, owns $17 million dollars of Star-Kist stock.


In January, 2007 when the minimum wage was increased from $5.15 to $7.25, Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the increase so Del Monte would not have to pay the higher wage. This would make Del Monte products less expensive than their competition's.


Last week when the huge bailout bill was passed, Pelosi added an earmark to the final bill adding $33 million dollars for an 'economic development credit in American Samoa.'


Pelosi has called the Bush Administration "CORRUPT." How do you spell HYPOCRIT?
