Well in less then two weeks, President Obama, the Democratic controlled house of representatives and senate, and weak republican members will unfortunately vote in the biggest tax and spending bill ever passed in the United States.

This is the first step to the United States becoming a socialist country.

I have been thinking about how my kids have to learn lessons on their own. I tell them not to do something but they do it anyway and they eventually find out that it was the wrong thing to do. But even with my insistence on not doing it and with showing them examples of why this is wrong, they still do it.

As a nation we are very young, but we have plenty of examples of how and why a socialist approach in running countries don’t work.

But for some reason, we go against sound principles which is what a FREE market economy is based on and then we go back to a failed philosophy that has never worked since the beginning of time.

This is why we became a nation in the first place. “Taxation without representation.”

The difference now is that we were fighting an enemy that was across the ocean, now we have to face an enemy that is in our own government.

They, Barack Obama’s govenment, is also calling for the “fairness doctrine” which is basically a welfare program for failed radio and TV formats.

The most successful radio programs are conservative talk radio. The people who host these shows are paid by advertisers who pay for commercials on their shows because they have huge audiences.

Why can’t a liberal talk show host have a successful program?

Because what they talk about is not sound principles. It doesn’t resonate with anyone and they end up with no audience.

This is another example of going against sound principles.

I am disgusted with what I have seen so far and we must vote these people out of office the next opportunity we get.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men

Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

The more and more I look into this house of cards that Wall Street, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the US Government had built, it becomes more and more crystal clear that this is biggest screwing the American Taxpayer has ever taken.

This house of cards was built on top of the sand, not on top of the rocks. It was banks forced to loan money to people who were not capable of paying it back to advance the American Dream of owning a house.

Instead of a chicken in every pot, it was a house for every American, whether you could pay for it or not.

It was the advancement of socialist ideas that caused this fall. It was not smart business.

The headlines and sound bites will blame it on CEO with big pay with companies going belly up. Golden parachutes and the whole nine yards.

Don’t be fooled by all this, this is nothing but over regulation by the government, forced by Democratic policies.

There are many successful public companies and the pay the CEO gets is well earned.

But when you look at the companies involved…

Fannie Mae (Mortgage) (Bailout)

Freddie Mac (Mortgage) (Bailout)

Lehman Brothers (Investment Bank) (Bankrupt)

AIG (Insurance Company) (Bailout)

The government is looking for more money to prop several of these companies up. But why should we trust them to get it right this time?

It makes no sense what so ever.

What are thoughts about this situation?

I was reading through some of the headlines while eating my breakfast and I almost vomited when I came across this headline:

Poll: Lingering Racism may hurt Obama

I thought that was an interesting headline so I clicked over to see what it was about. And the headline on the next page went on as:

Poll: Racial views steer some away from Obama - One-Third of polled Democrats harbor negative views towards blacks

Now what I find very interesting is that:

1. They are already chalking up Obama’s loss of the election to racism.

2. They are blaming it on the racism of the of DEMOCRATS. How interesting is that?

They are blaming racism of the democratic party. The party that believes in equal rights and affirmative action. Can you believe it?

The polls haven’t even opened, yet you are already starting to see stories surface in the media about other democrats distancing themselves from Obama.

Let me enlighten you, the only reason why Barack Obama will lose this election is because he hasn’t sold himself as the candidate we want to elect as president. And it doesn’t matter what the color of his skin is.

He, like Joe Biden, is elitist and they think they are above the people they are trying to get to elect them. It’s apparent in every syllable they utter.

Let me paint this picture…

You have to hire someone to work for your company, this employee will be working closely with your customers and you sell high end cars

The next applicant walks in for the job, he is dressed in pants pulled down halfway that expose half of his underwear. He has an iPod on and he has his earphones in and he is gyrating to the music. He is also wearing a baseball cap, a little big for his head and the cap pulled slightly to the right. Also while you are interviewing him he only pulled one ear phone out to listen to you.

Should this applicant get the job based on this description? I would say no. I didn’t mention what his skin color was, but does it matter? I would say no.

As Barack would say, “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.” Right?

Remember this, only reason Barack will no be elected is because he has not sold us that he is the one to be elected. And if in the end he says it is because of racism, then we made the right decision. We will truly see the real measure of the man, when he is not elected.

It’s been a pretty interesting week, in the economic arena this week in the US.

1. Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy

2. Bank of America buys Merrill Lynch

3. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are taken over by the government (Last Week)

And all the finger pointing begins.

I have an eerie feeling about all this…

When all this economic stuff happens all at once it’s very easy to sit on the side lines and start pointing fingers and looking for blame.

We’ll see congressional hearings, we’ll have the CEO’s of these companies being asked questions by senators who over regulated these companies to begin with.

When the our own government asks these companies to give loans to people with marginal credit, and they took the lower rate adjustable mortgage. What did think was going to happen when the interest rate went up and their mortgage payment doubled?

A child with a 3rd grade education could answer that one.

The major problem with all this is that the government is going to look like the savior in all of this and if that happens and the people of the US buy into this watch out.

We will become a socialist country within 10 years.

I want you to think of the complete and utter waste of our tax money that already goes on. They (US Government) can’t even properly manage what they have already.

The only answer to this is to continue as a Market based economy with as little government regulation as possible.

Eliminate the income tax and institute a federal sales tax. That way when commerce is happening their revenues continue to flow, when over regulation starts to happen and commerce slows down their revenues drop.

You can’t tell that the revenue from gasoline taxes this summer, didn’t drop substantially from the over regulation of the US oil companies and their in ability to drill where we know there is oil.

The only answer is a free market economy.

You may ask yourself, “Yeah, that sounds great but what about the programs that the government currently funds?”

Well if you make it a study, you’ll find that the prosperous people are very generous and give very willingly to charities they believe in.

It shouldn’t be the governments place to redistribute wealth.
