Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary: ‘The Wealth in America Doesn’t Come from Government’ … In this clip, successful investor Kevin O’Leary from ABC’s hit show “Shark Tank” eloquently and persuasively destroys many of the myths of the “1 percent” and describes in personal detail how many of the small businesses he works with have to spend nearly $20,000 to $30,000 a year complying with federal regulations.

An outline: Who to believe. What to teach.

If you were a teacher, professor or parent, what will you present to your students and children!

Education or Indoctrination? If you do not know the difference, then that is your very first educational question to answer.

Motivation:

Do you have an interest in the company that employs you, the government that protects you or the family that nourishes you. These are two way streets. If caring is only one way, it is likely that one or the other will not survive.

Undeniable Truisms, 2012

• Democracy and rugged individualism = motivates people to learn and earn. People will make all kinds of sacrifices to succeed.

• Socialism = kills motivation along with personal and economic growth. People care only about themselves and their next meal.

Economic Facts:

• We cannot spend more than We make or take in ... and survive

• Higher taxes = Less money into Big Gov Treasury

• Government cannot tax its way to prosperity

Lower taxes = More revenue into US Treasury.

Increase Taxes = Less revenue into US Treasury.

Increase Taxes = The wealthy adapt and/or flee.

Increase Taxes = Suppresses the economy.

More Liberals = More laws

More Liberals = More taxes

More Liberals = More spending

More liberals = Less transparency

More Liberals = More corruption

More guns = Less crime

Fewer guns = More crime

More gun laws = No change for criminals

Unionism:

Presidents Lie. Obama states that the union opposition to Right To Work in Michigan is all about politics, not economics. The economic facts are:

[1] unemployment is lowest in Right To Work states,

[2] wages are highest in Right To Work states,

[3] unions suppress jobs for younger workers and

[4] economic growth is suppressed in union states. Democrats and the Unions know this. =TheRightJack 12/15/12

Taxes:

Taxes up = Revenue to US Treasury down.
Taxes down = Revenue to US Treasury up.

Remember when the luxury boat industry left NJ for those states with lower taxes. And the lesson is … do what they do in Hollywood. Move your wealth out of the USA to more tax friendly nations.

More than half a million wealthy Britons are expected to move abroad in the next two years amid concerns about crumbling road and rail networks, crime and high taxes, a survey reveals today. [dailymail.co.uk] 

Wealthy Brits flee high tax rates. …  In Britain, if tax rates are raised too high, revenues decrease.  But, this is not a phenomenon unique to our friends across the pond.  Anyone hear about France’s richest man applying for citizenship in Belgium after a promised skyrocketing of French taxes?  Or why it benefits French companies to cap the number of employees to 49 as to avoid expensive regulation?

Detroit's 'One Party' State Killed It. … Auto industry executives, who often were invertebrate mediocrities, continually bought labor peace by mortgaging their companies' futures in surrenders to union demands. … Then city officials gave their employees — who have 47 unions, including one for crossing guards — pay scales comparable to those of autoworkers. Thus did private-sector decadence drive public-sector dysfunction — government negotiating with government-employees' unions that are government organized as an interest group to lobby itself to do what it wants to do: Grow.

The Detroit-Obama-Democrat Malaise

Detroit is in its dreadful financial shape. Why? The Voters of Detroit have continued to vote for The Big Democrat Spenders decade after decade.

Today, it appears that many young and easily influenced voters in the USA are doing the same thing. By 2012, it was crystal clear that the US economy was on a financial glide path to insolvency. It still is. Yet, young voters appear willing to vote for any politician not running as a Republican.

It appears that the USA will follow, if it stays on the same tax and spend path of Obama and the Democrats, the exact same path to destruction as Detroit as well as many nations in Europe such as Greece and Spain in particular. 

The economic indicators could not be any more clear. They include: Increase in part time jobs, not full time jobs. High unemployment. Uncounted millions not working. Record high numbers of people on public assistance. Calls for higher taxes. Poor real estate values. Mushy retail sales. Expanding school food programs. Huge student debt. Flight from the economically troubled states.

Big Dem Gov wants all of the US Taxpayer money it can get so they can add more "benefactors" to their voting block. [i.e., non-producers, takers, moochers]. Not coincidentally, the exact same thing is happening in California and the other financially strapped states. They all continue to vote for all of the same brand of politicians who continue to take us down the path of insolvency and malaise.

We get what we vote for. =TheRightJack on 8/6/13

Fact-Free Liberals: Part 1

Obama and liberals long on rhetoric, short on facts … Obama seems completely unaware of how many of the policies he is trying to impose have been tried before, in many times and places around the world, and have failed time and again. Economic equality? That was tried in the 19th century, in communities set up by Robert Owen, the man who coined the term "socialism." Those communities all collapsed. … Facts are not liberals' strong suit. Rhetoric is. [washingtonexaminer.com] 1/20/14

http://washingtonexaminer.com/article/2542528

Fact-Free Liberals: Part II

 … Rent control … Gun control … Minimum wage laws are another issue where the words seem to carry great weight, leading to the fact-free assumption that such laws will cause wages to rise to the legally specified minimum. Various studies going back for decades indicate that minimum wage laws create unemployment, especially among the younger, less experienced and less skilled workers. … When words trump facts, you can believe anything. And the liberal groupthink taught in our schools and colleges is the path of least resistance.

Fact-Free Liberals: Part III

 … The actual signing of the "war on poverty" legislation took place in August 1964, so the 50th anniversary is some months away. But there have already been statements in the media and in politics proclaiming that this vast and costly array of anti-poverty programs "worked." … What the war on poverty was intended to end was mass dependency on government. President Kennedy said, "We must find ways of returning far more of our dependent people to independence." … On the more fundamental question of dependency, the facts were even clearer. The proportion of people whose earnings put them below the poverty level -- without counting government benefits -- declined by about one-third from 1950 to 1965. [townhall.com] 1/23/14

Fact-Free Liberals: Part IV

 … Leftists like Rousseau, Condorcet or William Godwin in the 18th century, Karl Marx in the 19th century or Fabian socialists like George Bernard Shaw in England and American Progressives in the 20th century saw the people in a role much like that of sheep, and saw themselves as their shepherds. … The visceral hostility toward Sarah Palin by present day liberals, and the gutter level to which some descend in expressing it, is just one sign of a mindset on the left that goes back more than two centuries.

Mexico is Angry

Not Verified, but nevertheless ...

The shoe is on the other foot and the Mexicans from the State of Sonora, Mexico do not like it. Can you believe the nerve of these people? It's almost funny. 

The State of Sonora is angry at the influx of Mexicans into Mexico!

Nine state legislators from the Mexican State of Sonora traveled to Tucson to complain about Arizona's new employer crackdown on illegals from Mexico. It seems that many Mexican illegals are returning to their hometowns and the officials in the Sonora state government are ticked off. A delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora was in Tucson on Tuesday to state that Arizona's new "Employer Sanctions Law" will have a devastating effect on the Mexican state. At a news conference, the legislators said that Sonora's Arizona southern neighbor -- made up of mostly small towns -- cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools that it will face as Mexican workers return to their hometowns from the USA without jobs or money.

The Arizona law, which took effect January 1, punishes Arizona employers who knowingly hire individuals without valid legal documents to work in the United States. Penalties include suspension of, or loss of, their business license. 

The Mexican legislators are angry because their own citizens are returning to their hometowns, placing a burden on THEIR state government instead of ours.
 
"How can Arizona pass a law like this?" asked Mexican Rep. Leticia Amparano-Gamez, who represents Nogales. "There is not one person living in Sonora who does not have a friend or relative working in Arizona," she said, speaking in Spanish. "Mexico is not prepared for this, for the tremendous problems it will face as more and more Mexicans working in Arizona and who were sending money to their families return to their hometowns in Sonora without jobs," she said. "We are one family, socially and economically," she said of the people of Sonora and Arizona.

Wrong! 

The United States is a sovereign nation, not a subsidiary of Mexico, and its taxpayers are not responsible for the welfare of Mexico's citizens. It's time for the Mexican government, and its citizens, to stop feeding parasitically off the United States and to start taking care of its/their own needs.

No sex since 1955 ...

A crusty old Marine Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event hosted by a local liberal arts college.

There was no shortage of extremely young idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant Major for conversation.

"Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very serious man. Is something bothering you?"

"Negative, ma'am. Just serious by nature."

The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, "It looks like you have seen a lot of action."

"Yes, ma'am, a lot of action."

The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said, "You know, you should lighten up. Relax and enjoy yourself."

The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner.

Finally the young lady said, "You know, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?"

"1955, ma'am."

"Well, there you are. No wonder you're so serious. You really need to chill out! I mean, no sex since 1955! She took his hand and led him to a private room where she proceeded to "relax" him.

Afterwards, panting for breath, she leaned against his bare chest and said, "Wow, you sure didn't forget much since 1955."

The Sergeant Major said, after glancing at his watch,  ... "I hope not; it's only 2130 now."

Obaminocchio Lies

Obama speaks well.

Senior Joke of the Week

Big Print Version

A farmer stopped by the local mechanics shop to have his truck fixed. They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would just walk home. On the way home he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket and a gallon of paint.

He then stopped by the feed store and picked up a couple of chickens and a goose. However, struggling outside the store he now had a problem - how to carry his entire purchases home. While he was scratching his head he was approached by a little old lady who told him she was lost.

She asked, "Can you tell me how to get to 106 Rose Cottage Lane?"

The farmer said, "Well, as a matter of fact, my farm is very close to that house. I would walk you there but I can't carry this lot."

The old lady suggested, "Why don't you put the can of paint in the bucket. Carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?"
 
"Why thank you very much, he said and proceeded to walk the old girl home. On the way he says "Let's take my short cut and go down this alley. We'll be there in no time."

The little old lady looked him over cautiously then said, "I am a lonely widow without a husband to defend me. How do I know that when we get in the alley you won't hold me up against the wall, pull up my skirt, and have your way with me?"

The farmer said, "Holy smokes lady! I'm carrying a bucket, a gallon of paint, two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the wall and do that to you?"

The old lady replied, "Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the paint on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens."

Blonde Story

An old, almost blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels.

After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender,

"Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?"

The bar immediately falls absolutely silent.

In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says,

“Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things:

1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.

2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.

3. I'm a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.

4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter.

5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.”

“Now, think about it seriously, Cowboy. Do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?”

The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters …

“No, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.”
