Politicians and CEOS Defend Workers & Bonuses

Taxpayers keep hearing , from politicians and CEOS', "that all the
high-dollar employees are needed to insure we maintain the skills
and experience we need to keep the companies operating" - well,
folks, here's a news flash for you! Had these employees been
competent, worked long hard hours (and I do mean productive working)
and with any skills and experience, at all, Freddie, Fannie, AIG,
BIG 3, Banks, and anyone else taking Taxpayers money, America
wouldn't be broke and in such dire straits! Since the Politicians
like Frank, Ms. Waters, Rangel, Pelosi, Reid, Geithner, just to name
a few, have all been in on these 'scams' from the 'get-go', and this
is why they all stick together like most thieves do! When borrowing
trillions of dollars, without Taxpayers consent and knowledge,
creating Nafta and Cafta, causing Americans jobs to be sent
overseas.Bankruptcy is inevitable for ‘Freddie, Fannie, AIG, Banks,
and theBIG 3!’ The sooner the better, as America needs to get
back to basics, pay off the debt loads they created, and cut the
'hype' the Politicians and CEOS' are creating and will continue to
create if Taxpayers don't step up to the plate and say 'ENOUGH IS
ENOUGH!' It's time to run America like a private business; meaning,
President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. All these
committees, departments. branches, and campaigns have gone on long
enough! It's obvious government CANNOT manage a company, let alone
run a company! Therefore, don't you think it's time to cut salaries
back to $12,000.00 yearly for the less than 30 days of Public
Servant work that's absolutely no use in America society today. Look
around at what's taking place and the total destruction they've
created in past few decades! If politicians and CEOS' don't want to
take the pay cut to $12,000.00 yearly, then it's time to sell them a
one-way ticket to the countries they've sold American out to with no
return to America! This shouldn't be a don't ask situation but tell
them situation! And another thing, bank accounts, retirements, and
all assets should be taken from these politicians and CEOS', without
having a court case, since it's obvious this is Taxpayers money. The
trillions of dollars could be paid back to foreign countries, that
was borrowed without Taxpayers knowledge and consent! They're all
guilty! CASE CLOSED! This is why they stick together! Why should
Taxpayers have to pay to protect the politicians? Come to think of
it, not one of them are royalty and certainly not important! IT'S
LIKE DC AND THEIR HOLLYWOOD PARTIES, AMERICA DOESN'T NEED IT - IT
LOST IT'S APPEAL SEVERAL YEARS AGO! Taxpayers should demand that
Property Taxes, Public Schools, Bailouts, Bonuses,Incentives, Pet
Projects, Lobbyists, and Non-Profit groups, be eliminated. It
doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that America lacks
leadership and has been bankrupted by a bunch of greedy politicians
in suits with very deep pockets! WAKE UP AMERICA!

Politicians had a choice in stopping Bailouts

Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, stated and I’m quoting ‘We really had no choice in bailout of AIG!’ Yes, Mr. Bernanke, you did have a choice! When AIG received first bailout, why weren’t strict guidelines imposed on them; such as, NO MORE BONUSES, cut ‘CEO fat cat’ salaries, freebies, and retirements to maximum $25,000.00 year. Older employees, offer them an early retirement package! All other salaries to be cut by at least one-quarter, as a slice of the pie is better than no slice at all! Mr. Bernanke this includes you and the rest of politicians! The other option would have been to let AIG file bankruptcy so they could start over, and maybe this time they would be more concerned and knowledgeable of what it takes to run a company by tightening their pocketbooks! You see, Mr. Bernanke, bad choices is what’s put America into Bankruptcy and borrowing money from foreign countries that we can’t pay the interest on! Where’s the common sense in these matters?
Taxpayers understand Bay of Thailand is buying AIG Retail Bank Company and deal is to be completed April 2009. Since this is really Taxpayers money, will you and rest of politicians make sure AIG pay off the trillions of dollars borrowed, without Taxpayers’ consent, to foreign countries?
That brings Taxpayers to the latest for AIG’s bonuses and the statement "If we don’t pay them big bonues, they’ll sue us!" How dumb you are? It’s Taxpayers’ money, not yours to give! It’s time for for AIG, Freddie, Fannie, Banks, Automakers and anyone else standing in line taking Taxpayers money to immediately file Bankruptcy! Enough is Enough!
President Obama’s top economic advisers vigorously defends his 3.6 trillion budget! News flash for you -- "Taxpayers don’t defend this nor any of the so-called put people back to work programs, called infrastructures. I just left a meeting in which one of the ‘economic advisers’ from a bank stated he’d been in DC for a week!" I asked him why he thought America needed infrastructures if we didn’t bring textile and furniture manufacturing jobs back to America? He stated ‘they’ didn’t discuss this, just infrastructures! Remember, these large banks like Citicorp, Wachovia, etc. were bailed out! Taxpayers wonder why we’re bailing them out if politicians continue allowing the ‘economic’ idiots to advise them. He had no answers! Guess what, Mr. Economic Adviser was hoping the floor would open up and I’d fall through it! You see, all the expert politicians and economists know as much about ‘thrifty management’ as a newborn and this, folks, is the reason for Change and not Obama’s change methods, either!
There seems to be a lot of ‘experts’ in government and financial institutions with no common sense. It’s time to run America like a private business; meaning, President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. All these cabinet members collecting huge salaries and benefits will have to come to an end. Taxpayers know it’s time to cut salaries to $12,000.00 yearly for all politicians. After all, these Public Servant jobs give less than 30 days of service and, in today’s world of mismanagement, deceit and greed, so this is more money than they deserve.
Why aren’t we prosecuting the people handing out Taxpayers monies and the people who’s receiving it? The reasons being very clear-who’s collecting and benefiting!
WAKE UP AMERICA!

Without Manufacturing Jobs, America won't survive

"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!
======================================================================
a.. Barack Obama will expand access to jobs: Obama and Biden will invest $1 billion over five years in transitional jobs and career pathway programs that implement proven methods of helping low-income Americans succeed in the workforce.
b.. Make work pay for all Americans: Obama and Biden will increase benefits for working parents, raise the minimum wage to $9.50 an hour by 2011, and provide tax relief to low- and middle-income workers.
c.. Support rural and urban areas: Obama and Biden will invest in rural small businesses, improve rural schools, and attract more doctors to rural areas. And they will work with urban leaders to increase the supply of affordable housing and address the unique challenges of every metropolitan area.
In this Section:
a.. Expand Access to Jobs
b.. Make Work Pay for All Americans
c.. Strengthen Families
d.. Increase the Supply of Affordable Housing
e.. Tackle Concentrated Poverty
More on Poverty:
a.. Watch More Videos
b.. Read the Plan
c.. Read the Plan to Fight Hunger
d.. Read the Urban Poverty Speech
Present your ideas:
Speak your mind and help set the policies that will guide this campaign and change the country.
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.

What Happens to America when Interest isn't Paid?


‘Have we priced ourselves off the earth?’ At the time I wrote that article, the deficit was millions!’ Now it’s trillions, owed to foreign countries, and doesn’t seem to bother the politicians! Anyone know what’ll happen to America when interest isn’t paid?
That article and this one isn’t about Democrats or Republicans it’s about government spending, cutting politician’s salaries and retirements to $12,000.00 yearly! This is only way America will survive!
Textile and furniture manufacturing companies must be brought back to America creating jobs. No need for "infrastructures" if there’s no manufacturing jobs!
Taxpayers fear the word ‘Stimulus’! Will this money, that America doesn’t have, stop workers from losing jobs, "ABSOLUTELY NOT"! It’s only putting America further into debt and destroying the chances of our children becoming productive citizens.
‘Fair Tax’, to include property taxes, should be top priority! This would enable folks to put their children into good Christian Schools to stop the moral decline! Another top priority would be eliminating social and welfare programs, bailouts, handouts and government positions!
Taxpayers have yet to see politicians seriously think about America’s Future! What kind of people are behind these ‘stimulus’ packages, that’s doing more harm than good?
Taxpayers cannot save the world from the fat cats like Freddie, Fannie, AIG, Big Three, and anyone else that’s taking money they’re not entitled to, but Taxpayers, who have jobs at present, will soon have to make a decision, themselves, whether to pay taxes or put food on their tables! What happens to your big salaries, bonuses, freebies, and retirements then?
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know it’s now obvious that America can’t survive by borrowing from Peter to pay Paul! While I’m on a roll, Liberal means "generous, favorable to
progress or reform", but not with any politicians money! WAKE UP AMERICA!

Make Tax Cuts Lean and Mean

"Make it lean and mean!" Many cuts must take place, immediately, in order for America to get out and stay out of debt! Taxpayers know Government must run like a business, if not, our children and grandchildren have no future!
Never has America witnessed such dire, financial times starting with trillions of dollars, and counting, due foreign countries, borrowed by politicians without getting approval from honest, hard-working Taxpayers they’re trying to stick the bill to! What happens to America when interest isn’t paid?
While Beverly Perdue, like others, flies to Washington, or anywhere these politicians want to go to ‘chase federal money’, instead of trying to cut programs and spending from all budgets, I’m sure doesn’t care about spending; after all, they’ve been handed blank checks with no accountability, right? Shouldn’t this be grounds for padlocking, these ‘public servants’ office doors everywhere?

Fair Tax, to include property taxes, stopping Bailouts, handouts, social and welfare programs should be top priorities! Everyone should contribute to living in America! Government’s out of control, spending billions for infrastructures, which we don’t have, is only creating bigger government. Until we bring textile and manufacturing jobs back to America, there’s no need for infrastructures!
Cutting local, state and federal politicians’ salaries and retirements to $12,000.00 yearly is an absolute must. Even with government cuts, it’ll be year 2025 before America begins to dig out from under some of the financial disasters created by politicians and their greed!
When Taxpayers think of all the Committees being used by politicians on local, state, and federal levels, several comes to mind! ‘Ways and Means, Appropriations, Government Reform, Economics, Financial Services, Pensions, Ethics, Rules, Finance, Education’, and I think you’re getting the message! For the past five decades, wouldn’t you think that with all these committees someone honest with intregrity would have stepped up to the plate and put an end to ‘tax & spend’! Want to know why? This is how the politicians are enlarging the government payrolls, and taking Taxpayers money and jobs away! This is why Ronald Reagan made his proven fact statement and I’m quoting "Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem!"
While I’m on a roll, Inaugurations are like huge, glamourous, Hollywood parties! Politicians, not being Royalty, should foot their own parties, bills and causes? After all, it is what it is ‘A HUGE HOLLYWOOD PARTY’!

Politicians and CEOS aren't American Royalty

Bankruptcy is the only choice for these 'greedy, non-caring, lack of common
knowledge, high-dollar fat cats' as without re-organizing, backing up and
thinking for a change, their disasters will put America into Bankruptcy! Then what happens to America’s future?
Government, on all levels, must run like a private business, eliminating jobs, cutting salaries and freebies, or our children won't have a future!
Bailouts shouldn't be an option for Freddie, Fannie, AIG, Big 3 or anyone else taking Taxpayers’ money! They don’t seem to get it! AIG, two weeks after it received $85 billion in bailout money, senior executives take a $440,000.00 resort trip. CEO is now taking a $1 a year salary! Yeah right? He insists on providing $400 million in "retention" bonuses for 2,000 in upper management. On average, that’s a $200,000.00 present! These CEOS, their 'fat cat executives' and anyone else on the take in politics and corporations, were never around 'taking care of business!' Come to think of it, their lack of common knowledge, greed, and I don't care attitude, helped promote Nafta and Cafta which wound up eliminatating millions of American jobs! Even to a dummy, this would mean "It's time to cut production on automobiles, stop building houses, as people no longer have jobs to pay for food, let alone anything else! Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out!
Taxpayers will give politicians, CEOS, and the other fat cats a couple choices "A one-way ticket across the ocean with only the clothes on their backs, as their bank accounts, homes, cars, airplanes, and anything else of value belongs to Taxpayers and must be used to pay off trillions of dollars of debt they've trying to stick Taxpayers with!" OR, as a recent cartoon stated, put them all in state jails (not federal country clubs) and throw away the keys!
While I’m on a roll,"Why would these high-dollar criminals think they're Royalty?" You can't make a 'Silk Purse' from a 'Pig's Ear'! They’re not as good as the ones the court system, puts in state jails, daily, for robberies, forgeries, and fraud!
