Why Re-Elect Pickpocket Politicians?

At this time and age we currently live in with our economy in dire straits we look to our leaders foolishly for an answer to the questions we have about our present circumstances, as incredible as that may sound to those of us who understand that it is because of the terrible decisions of our leaders past and our leaders present that we find ourselves in such tremendous economical troubles. How is it possible that we continuously overlook this simple fact, forgive it and repeat our same very mistakes? Do we not find ourselves in a more precarious financial situation than we did the last every time? As we find ourselves burdened by a national debt that could never be paid within our lifetime we are currently at higher levels of unemployment and more and more people shifting from the unemployed into the roles of welfare recipients. How does our current government take action on these facts? They go on a spending spree of billions upon billions of taxpayers dollars and spend it on useless or unproven programs that our country has nothing to show for it in return. Our government railroads its citizens with the take over of the world’s best, yet expensive health care system and turns it into a money gobbling monster that will surely ruin us financially. At every move the president proposes or enacts legislation to take more money from the pockets of the middle class working person and throw it at a program or individuals that do absolutely nothing to deserve the lottery sized windfall while the working class families struggle to make ends meet on their ever decreasing salaries. Do those who have made a career riding on free parking, collecting welfare checks ever see a decrease in their monthly cash handouts? Why of course not! The working family has to work more hours or take on additional part time work to cover the short fall of income caused by heavy and unfair taxation and inflation due to the falling value of the American dollar. The middle class taxpayer must work to the satisfaction of his employer lest he or she be fired and lose their job, but where is the requirement of the welfare recipient to perform or produce in exchange for the unearned monies they collect? A working family of the middle class is considered fortunate if they have family insurance coverage in the event that they become ill and need medical treatment whether they must pay co-pay at the doctor’s office or come up with extra money for treatments not covered along with very expensive pharmaceuticals required to make someone become healthy again. If one on public assistance becomes ill they are treated and provided medications at the cost of taxpayers, again, for nothing of value given in return. Why in such times as these when the taxpayer must face higher taxes and lower wages, should those on public assistance not receive less as well? I believe in the golden rule myself. I believe we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us! But does this golden rule not apply to them as well? As for our politicians who have put us in this position, including those who choose to be ward’s of the state, why would anyone in their right mind return them back into office to do only more of the same at a higher cost the next go around? The only difference we will ever see from allowing more of the same will be to see less take home pay on our checks. How much more can you afford to be stolen from the fruits of your labor until you find it more beneficial to stop work and reach out your own hand to the government?

An Insomniac's Political Viewpoint

Well, as most of my friends and family know I have been ravished with sickness over the past two weeks. It wasn’t long ago I was bragging about how I hadn’t so much as a cold in two years. Well, that’s what you get for boasting I guess. I have been eating Antibiotics and medication of some sort (Beginning to wonder if it is crack or meth) to regulate my exceedingly high blood pressure which put me in the Hospital Sunday. I am not sure if it is working or not because I have been awake for two days and two nights without so much as a wink of sleep. Those very few who know me really well know that I am paranoid when it comes to taking any kind of pills out of fear of seeing those people on the streets I often see that do not sleep… like me right now, only they are walking, walking, walking in search of that next whatever it is that makes them feel like I do at the moment. Anyway, I cannot sleep as I stated before. Did I say that already? So what else to do as all other normal people slumber in their warm beds? Here I am… Awake, so I might as well write is what I told myself. And please, I am not putting down those who suffer addictions, I just can’t help but to wonder if this is what it is like for them. God bless them and free them of their addiction because I’m miserable and this bites. Surely it is hell for them. Anyway, back to rambling 90 to nothing. I happened to watch the news tonight and through my surely bloodshot eyes I see politician after politician speak and give their side or opinion on the health care debate / vote / reconciliation ( you know I just spell checked that one!) or whatever word or term they have chosen today. So I sit there comfortably in my recliner thinking “There all the same”. Am I right? I wonder about this because each of them have a letter and a State name following their precious names indicating which party these clowns represent. All I keep hearing is Democrat this, Republican that, we did it because  they did it first and it dawns on me that we the people are left completely out of the equation altogether. (This time I say most) Most of you know I am not an educated person. I have no letters, initials, gang signs, or anything else following my name. I never will. But here they are! Is this the cream of the crop? The best we have to offer? God, how stupid we all must really be if that is the case. Okay, I’m under the effects of physician M.D.M or whatever that follows her name, prescribed medication and still see that “damn we are some ignorant fools” that we, collectively, actually elected these pencil necks to office! But still, uneducated in the great money pits we call Universities, ( By the way, why are educational systems always broke if they are so damn smart?) but I would gladly debate anyone of those corrupt fools in office all the way up to Obama himself. Hell, put me in front of a Congressional hearing, let me speak for the real people. You know, the ones who work for a living, those poor souls who have actually held a time card in their dirty hands to punch in and out on a clock in order to put food in their mouths. These polished Geek's wearing their Italian suits telling us that they know better what is good for the little ones who hold jobs or are desperately seeking one to feed the other peons in their family. Jobs! Now that is a noble concept! It seems that the President and all his great men only want to help those who refuse to work hit the lotto by letting the few that still do have jobs break their backs for those who sit on their duffs watching the boob tube. And please don’t give me the crap about the ones who really need it and can’t work, I’m all for their continued support. But take my money I am trying to earn a retirement on what I can’t make it on now to give these loafers the Cadilac Health Care plan? I think not! What they should be doing besides debating in congressional gym showers naked is getting together with a plan to rescue this economy they have ruined. But no, when they are not spending my money and yours on pot smoking praying mantis mating in the mountain weeds of Colorado, they are wrangling over how much more money they can rob from the working people under this guise of Health care reform. Cut the damn taxes in half and stop spending on anything but the necessities. That will create jobs for those who want to work. The federal jobs plan can go scoop up all the rest of the able bodied men and women and go build those bridges to nowhere. The rest of us will get the real work done. Get out of our lives politicians, you are all miserable failures! Who gives a rat’s hiney which party is in power? Has it not been the same for We the people over the past 60 years by taking the wages of the working people and giving to someone who didn’t earn it, including themselves? For God’s sake, let’s clean them all out of office one by one or at a clean sweep. Do we not realize yet that this is by far the most corrupted government on each side of the isle this country has ever witnessed? Cast your vote according to the character of each person seeking office. The Parties are inherently corrupt! 

Bipartisan Health Care Summit:We Waited Over A Year For This?

Finally, after one year of the worst partisan sales pitch ever given by the Democratic Party in the history of American politics this group decides to invite the Republican’s to the “table” to search out ways to bring them aboard on the health care bill to make it a “bipartisan” effort to pass this junk bill that nobody “American Voter’s” knows what all is in it. The big question is why? Does the president not have executive powers and the “nuclear option” to shove this bill down the throats of the American people, the only ones who will be paying for it? Did the president not say in his closing arguments that they would do this if Republicans will not sign on and contribute to his current plan without starting over? Again why? It isn’t as if the Democrats do not have the full majority control over every aspect of the government of Washington. All they need is full Democratic support and they could pass this bill. But they cannot even achieve that much due to the Democratic losses in Virginia, New Jersey and now Massachusetts that haunt those Democrats that seek re-election. It is painfully obvious that they are unable to garner the support of the American people because they simply cannot earn their trust. Why? Because they fail to understand that the American people are far more intelligent than this Administration believes them to be. Quite frankly, they believe we are stupid. Well, the reality is that the American people understand finances far more than the President and his Administration. Most American’s were not born to rich grandparents, given a free ride on a college education and spend their early adult lives being fed utopian ideology in prestigious Ivey League schools. No, the majority of American’s live on a shoe string budget trying to make ends meet with what was left over of their meager paychecks after the government over taxed them. These American’s were working to raise young families, going to community college at nights after work or serving their country in the military in order to provide themselves with the means to chance the American dream. It sure wasn’t handed to them on a silver platter by either rich parents or the government. The American people who dared to dream went out in the world and secured employment and were forced to provide for themselves. They had real budgets. The kind where you took what earnings remained on your paycheck and did what you could with it in order to provide food, water, and shelter for your family. They understood that when the money was gone, it was gone! They also understood that if you allowed yourself to go into debt and could no longer afford the luxuries of life that there were real people who would come and take away your possessions and home. These American people also see that those who they have chosen to send to Washington to represent them end up doing everything but represent them. The American people are very bright indeed because for decade after decade they see those politicians become rich and powerful and have spent this country into unbelievable debt that can never be paid. They also understand that it is those representatives that seek to solve this problem by digging deeper and deeper into the American Taxpayer’s pocket in order to pay for it all while 45 % of the nation never pays any tax at all. The American Taxpayer pays it all while the very rich continue to get richer, the “entitled” non taxpayer gets more and the lower and middle class taxpayer is asked yet again to sacrifice more of their earnings under an unfair tax code that even the government doesn’t understand. All the while those smug politicians continue to act concerned about the uninsured yet refuse to come together with a plan to eliminate the true reasons why health care is not affordable to the working family much less the jobless. Frivolous lawsuits, massive class action torts against the private business sector has driven the cost of providing health insurance so high that the average family and small businesses are no longer able afford it. Yet this Administration does nothing to cap and limit these in many cases bogus lawsuits that tie up the system and drive up costs even more to the taxpayer and consumer. No, because many of these politicians got rich themselves by being trial lawyers. This Administration also refuses to do anything with the Unions but reward them for driving manufacturing and many other jobs and businesses overseas to the very countries we borrow from in false and inadequate attempts to bring down the deficit they themselves cause. These are just a few of the big money and big deficit problem casers that make this health care bill nothing but an unprecedented money pit the taxpayer will have to shoulder on top of an impossible deficit that exists now. The American people refuse this piece of legislation because they know not only that it will be them paying for it, but their children, their children’s children and possibly further on down. No, this Administration doesn’t get it because they have never experienced the burden of taxation and hard work themselves without someone else’s helping hand. For the love of god, this Administration should be working on cutting taxes and eliminating the waste of uncontrollable frivolous spending so the working people can pull themselves up by the bootstraps in order to bring us out of this economic crisis that all previous politicians, Democratic, Republican and Independents have put us in.   

Worker Bees, Charlatans and Whores

I try to keep up with Washington and current events to keep myself abreast of what is going on in the world around me. It is hard for me to do this lately because I am constantly distracted by the little things in life that get in the way. For instance like working for a living to support my family and chip in by forced taxation to provide for other families without gainful employment.

So here I am in the land of opportunity clocking many hours at my job with gratefulness and I also work a certain number of hours helping my wife in her business. I work the part time jobs thrown my way when offered. I am also trying to help my brother build his business. It really is tough but I recognize the fact that I am blessed to have work even when it seems it is never enough to keep up with what money is suppose to be going out. But thank God that I have work I know so many who have been laid off or their jobs eliminated altogether due to this horrible economy.

So I have some free time last night and try to catch up on all my recorded news programs. I sit there amazed at how hard our elected officials are working to push incredibly pointless and stupid bills that do nothing to improve our economy or better the American people’s circumstances. All it boils down to is Charlatans speaking bold and loud in the name of the plight of American people with smug and pompous looking faces while in reality all they are doing is creating tax on top of tax to separate the wage earner from their wages to fund these ridiculous fantasies they have of transferring wealth from the haves to the have not’s. What they are really doing is breaking the backs of the middle class wage earner. You know the worker bees that actually provide the money to operate this country. Sadly, and ironically it is the worker bees in this country that provide all the honey but have absolutely no representation whatsoever in return for the taxation.

I listen to the comments and opinions from the representatives of the media who are suppose to be reporting on their own investigations of facts concerning what is going on in Washington D.C. without bias or prejudice, but all I get is the rhetoric spewed forth from the far left liberal fringe. The national media has completely sold out to the liberal left wing of the Democratic Party and has tossed its obligation to the viewer to report on only the facts out of the window. The national media has laid down like a dirty old whore to let the Democrat Party have their way with them and they wonder why their rating continue to bottom out by the day leaving the American people to search for the truth elsewhere.

Out pacing the national media is the Obama administration led by President Obama who is falling in the approval rating polls like a man tossed from an airplane without a parachute, and his arrogance obviously continues to grow as he scores his own report card for his first year in office as a strong B+. Somebody please wake this man up from his stupor of self love. I am not sure my word document program allows enough space to mention all of his enormous failures so I will only point out this last ridiculous Omnibus spending bill he is expected to sign which is chock filled with earmarks that he boldly promised he would veto if presented with. If he signs this bill impeachment proceedings should follow within the same hour. This bill will do nothing to stimulate the economy whatsoever just like the last stimulus package did nothing for the economy and the worker bees. All he is doing is adding enormous amounts of money to the national debt at light speed that our grandchildren’s grandchildren will be unable to pay. One thing is for certain, President Obama is not only a political rookie, he has no clue or foundation of experience having to work for a living, much less an understanding of what makes the economy grow.

Will America be able to withstand three more years of this Barnum and Bailey circus performance in the White House?

God Save us all!
