"Group shifts focus to entrepreneurship"noting that UNCG starting new programs. I’m quoting "One aimed at undergraduates, and anyone with college degree!" If you take a look around, the ‘fat cats’ in government always hire these people to make statements like "We’re putting people back to work", when in essence they’re only creating bigger goverment with no stability! It’s now a proven fact, you can get all the degrees you want, but without ‘common sense’, ‘getting your hands dirty’, and actually working in a business from sweeping the floors to answering the phones (I do mean answering phones when they ring), you’re backing up! It’s going to take more than talent! Hard labor and long hours come to mind. Looking like you just stepped off the front page of a magazine won’t be happening, so get over it!
I’ve written many articles over the years about the Heartbeat of our America! Until Textile and Manufacturing jobs are brought back to America there’s absolutely no need for government, let alone bigger government, as these were the ‘working with your hand jobs’ that used to be the backbone and stability of our country.
Let’s look at economics, my way! Fast Foods, Donut & Coffee Shops, Bars, Saloons and many more come to mind (service oriented, not manufacturing anything), but I’m trying to make a point! Leases/Rents, furnishings, heat, lights, water, and licenses/permits have to be paid whether you get a business up and running in 3-5 years or not. Just opening the doors to public, ordering food or supplies for your new business cost money. After all, there’s only so much you can charge for a cup of coffee, donut, biscuit, and manicure! This is why the overhead of these type businesses will never be profitable!
Let’s see if I can explain this further! Our forefathers worked long, hard hours using their hands, horses and crude tools. Raising and pulling cotton to put clothes on their backs, curtains, and later provide material coverings for furniture (that we no longer have in America). Using hoes and mules to provide gardens. Raising cows, hogs and chickens to provide for their families. The new type American thinks all they have to do is get a degree so they don’t have to get their hands dirty! Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but that degree is a piece of paper, and if you have acquired none of the traits, used by your grandparents and great grandparents, you’re useless in America!
The Amish Community should always be proud that they’ve maintained a world, filled with the best of everything, and to know that they’ve done all they do without destroying our earth! America needs more Amish folks and less Al Gores and big government!

OBAMA AND ‘TAX & SPENDERS’ "SCARE TACTICS!"
Folks, if you care about America and it's future, you'll fight this latest Stimulus Package by staying in touch with the politicians who are supposed to be working for Americans! Guess what, they're only working for themselves. Their pockets are very deep and these 'fat cats' are very greedy!
I just pulled up the following, which is Obama-Biden trillion dollar proposed budget, added already to our trillions of dollars of debt, and counting, due foreign countries! Guess what’s going to happen to America when interest isn’t paid on these notes?
The heading - ‘THREE FACTS ABOUT OBAMA AND POVERTY!’ Surely, this is a joke? Taxpayers know this is beginning of Obama and the ‘tax and spenders’ final icing on cake for Bankrupting America! All the trillions now owed was started when social, welfare and housing programs were created; thus, stopping the illegitimates from doing nothing, but lying around, having more illegitimates. ANYONE LISTENING? Illegitimates are creating ‘TERRORISM ON AMERICAN SOIL’ and ‘Obama-Biden and Tax and Spenders’ want to INCREASE AND ADD TO SAME PROGRAMS? My God, where’s the sanity in this?
It’s obvious this document/proposal was written by someone who is’unfamiliar and untrained’ as all of this ‘proposal’ is written into laws, and under several Departments! A couple really come to mind: Department of Housing and Urban Development and Department of Social Services, as this is where all the illegitimates gather to collect money they’re not entitled to!
This hyped-up document/proposal cost Taxpayers lots of money and is useless as a lot of the politicians trying to use ‘Scare Tactics’ and Taxpayers no longer are listening! It looks like these ‘fat cats’ will do and say anything to get this ‘Stimulus’ package passed for their very deep pockets! If you are a Taxpayers, don't you wonder wny?
Take a very close look at the last paragraph: RE: Illinois - and to think, Illinois has been receiving millions for several years, and they're broke because of the 'same social, welfare, and housing programs, already on books, and they're trying to send them through again! Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out this illegitimate mess has bankrupted America and they want to put America under now!
The following Obama-Biden ‘hyped-up’ proposal should be read very carefully to see how politicians can ‘twist and turn words’ for their benefits. Taxpayers are now paying close attention to what’s affecting their homes, their jobs, and their stability!

Plan to Combat Poverty:
The Problem Poverty Rising: There are over 37 million poor Americans. Most Americans living in poverty work, but still cannot afford to make ends meet.
Minimum Wage is Not Enough: Even when a parent works full-time earning minimum wage and EITC and food stamps are factored into their income, families are still $1,550 below the federal poverty line because of the flat-lined minimum wage.
Barack Obama and Joe Biden's Plan:
Expand Access to Jobs:
a.. Help Americans Grab a Hold of and Climb the Job Ladder: Obama and Biden will invest $1 billion over five years in transitional jobs andcareer pathway programs that implement proven methods of helping low-income Americans succeed in the workforce. b.. Create a Green Jobs Corps: Obama and Biden will create a program to directly engage disadvantaged youth in energy efficiency opportunities to strengthen their communities, while also providing them with practical skills in this important high-growth career field.
c.. Improve Transportation Access to Jobs: As president, Obama will work to ensure that low-income Americans have transportation access to jobs. Obama will double funding for the federal Jobs Access and Reverse Commute program to ensure that additional federal public transportation dollarsflow to the highest-need communities and that urban planning initiatives take this aspect of transportation policy into account.
d.. Reduce Crime Recidivism by Providing Ex-Offender Supports: Obama and Biden will work to ensure that ex-offenders have access to job training, substance abuse and mental health counseling, and employment opportunities. Obama and Biden will also create a prison-to-work incentive program and reduce barriers to employment. Make Work Pay for All Americans
a.. Expand the Earned Income Tax Credit: Obama and Biden will increase the number of working parents eligible for EITC benefits, increase the benefits available to parents who support their children through child support payments, increase benefits for families with three or more children, and reduce the EITC marriage penalty, which hurts low-income families.
b.. Raise the Minimum Wage to $9.50 an Hour by 2011: Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe that people who work full time should not live in poverty. Even though the minimum wage will rise to $7.25 an hour by 2009, the minimum wage's real purchasing power will still be below what it was in 1968. As president, Obama will further raise the minimum wage to $9.50 an hour by 2011, index it to inflation and increase the Earned Income Tax Credit to make sure that full-time workers can earn a living wage that allows them to raise their families and pay for basic needs such as food, transportation, and housing - things so many people take for granted.
c.. Provide Tax Relief: Obama and Biden will provide all low and middle-income workers a $500 Making Work Pay tax credit to offset the payroll tax those workers pay in every paycheck. Obama and Biden will also eliminate taxes for seniors making under $50,000 per year. Strengthen Families
a.. Promote Responsible Fatherhood: Obama will sign into law his Responsible Fatherhood and Healthy Families Act to remove some of the government penalties on married families, crack down on men avoiding child support payments, and ensure that payments go to families instead of state bureaucracies.
b.. Support Parents with Young Children: Obama and Biden will expand the highly-successful Nurse-Family Partnership to all 570,000 low-income, first-time mothers each year. The Nurse-Family Partnership provides home visits by trained registered nurses to low-income expectant mothers and their families.
c.. Expand Paid Sick Days: Today, three-out-of-four low-wage workers have no paid sick days. Obama and Biden support guaranteeing workers seven paid sick days per year. Increase the Supply of Affordable Housing
a.. Supports Affordable Housing Trust Fund: Obama has supported efforts to create an Affordable Housing Trust Fund to develop affordable housing in mixed-income neighborhoods.
b.. Fully Fund the Community Development Block Grant: Obama and Biden will fully fund the Community Development Block Grant program and engage with urban leaders across the country to increase resources to the highest-need Americans. Tackle Concentrated Poverty
a.. Establish 20 Promise Neighborhoods: Obama and Biden will create 20 Promise Neighborhoods in areas that have high levels of poverty and crime and low levels of student academic achievement in cities across the nation. The Promise Neighborhoods will be modeled after the Harlem Children's Zone, which provides a full network of services, including early childhood education, youth violence prevention efforts and after-school activities,to an entire neighborhood from birth to college.
b.. Ensure Community-Based Investment Resources in Every Urban Community: Obama and Biden will work with community and business leaders to identify and address the unique economic development barriers of every major metropolitan area. Obama and Biden will provide additional resources to the federal Community Development Financial Institution Fund, the SmallBusiness Administration and other federal agencies, especially to their local branch offices, to address community needs.
c.. Invest in Rural Areas: Obama and Biden will invest in rural small businesses and fight to expand high-speed Internet access. They willimprove rural schools and attract more doctors to rural areas. And they will implement a bold climate change and energy independence plan that will revitalize rural America through new investments in renewable energy production, including wind, solar and biofuel investments. Barack Obama's Record
a.. Tax Relief for Low-Income Working Families: Obama created the Illinois Earned Income Tax Credit for low-income working families in 2000 and successfully sponsored a measure to make the credit permanent in 2003. The law offered about $105 million in tax relief over three years.
b.. Housing: In the Illinois State Senate, Obama championed multiple pieces of legislation to help low-income families find adequate affordable housing.
