The system is broke. The United States of America is so busy caitering to those that are not willing to help themselves that those that are out there working hard are left hung out to dry.  If you keep yourself in certain jobs and at a certain education level you are entitled to so much hand outs from the government. Yet it does not stop there. Many of those that live on the borders of two states suck up resources from both states.

If you work hard and make a decent wage because you try to do good your are shunned. Yet I see often in my line of work those coming in with every welfare card available and many times from my state and Minnesota. They have nicer clothes on then I do, come in with wads of cash and are on drugs or drunk. My tax dollars at work. What can I say?

I am a little burned at the fact that my daughters father dropped her health insurance and I can not get her ADHD, PTSD and Depression covered by health insurance. Yet I make to much money to get any help with medical bills.  In the end my daughter suffers while all this damn tax money I pay out goes to help garbage.

I am not talking about those that really need it. I am talking about the garbage of our society that are leeches. We allow it.

I have to be clean of drugs to get paid my wages. There is high expectations of me as an employee of the community. Why is that those on welfare are allowed to get paid and have no standards to live up to? They are allowed to be drug users, alcoholics and to engage in illegal activity. The children suffer.

What would happen if you had to drug test to get your welfare checks? It’s not fair? I dont think its fair how much money we are paying out to those that lead this type of life.

It has been sometime since I have posted. I went into a period of time that I had writers block. Most of that was just frustration and overwhelmed with emotions and thoughts. Unable to really say what I want to say. Those periods of times hit me here and there. I have been listening to radio shows and the news the last week and a overwhelming urge to say something on here has caught me.

What is going on with us? Why are people allowing things to be the way they are? Why are people so out of touch with reality? I try to understand and see from all points of view. It confuses me on how some people think. It is not that I think my views are the only way for things to be. It is just some of the left views are so out of touch with reality that I struggle to understand why people think that way. How they justify it.

It is really that hard to think beyond the surface and taking things for face value the easiest path? Unable to really look at things and really understand them? I don’t get it.

Examples of what I am so angry and upset about are the following.

1) It is easier for people to believe that Obama and his administration are going to save them. Even though granted Obama said everyone has to work hard, people still feel the need to think the government is going to pay their way. They are going to pay their house payment, car payments and the debt they have ran up will be taken care of. What makes people think like this? Are they that dependent? Nothing should be handed over to you.

Times are hard right now and that means work. How can you work 40hrs per week or less and complain things are tough? Work more, make it through the hard times. Nothing is stopping you from working hard to make ends meet. That means at times letting go of some things. No one should have to pay anything for you but yourself.

2) To go out and get a loan that is a ARM or interest only is complete financial irresponsibility. If you have to get these types of loans you are either unable to afford it or not financially capable of owning it. These loans were created because of the liberal push everyone should be able to own a home. Owning a home is not a right, it is a priviledge. Many people rent and work hard for over half their adult life to even own a house. I didn’t own my own home until I was 31yrs old. I have a fixed mortgage that I can afford. That is what the smart thing to do is.

Obama made a comment how people are not protected when they own a home and they can’t make the payments. No you are not protected. It is YOUR job to protect YOURSELF. Tax dollars should NOT be paying for peoples homes. If you can not save money to protect yourself in the event something happens you obviously are over your head in bills and need to scale back. That is all there is to it. It is not the government and the tax payers responsibility to take care of you, its your job. You must think ahead and you must plan for yourself.

3) The tax breaks for 95% of Americans? For a year? It sounds good a huge tax break, yet the break is very little and only for a year. Is that really going to help out?

Taxes are so unfair. It angers me that the lower class feels they should pay nothing and those people who work hard and have money should foot the bill. That is wrong. Everyone should have to chip in.

4) The idea that handing out all this money to create jobs, that is going to fix our economy is insane. These are projects that we will have to continue to pay for which means more tax to pay for them. How is taking more money away from the American WORKING people going to help the economy.

Why do people not understand that the government is telling them they dont know how to spend their money so the government has to take it and decide how to best spend it. To create jobs and not allow the private companies to create jobs. Enough government.

5) Why do people forget when they vote in officaials into office that person is to stand for what the voters want, not their own agenda? They are forgetting that, the officals and the people.

6) I keep hearing Obama making us Americans out to be wrong to our enemies, I have serious issues with what. America is not weak nor do we tolerate bullshit.

7) The issue of illegals is coming up again. It seems to be accepted and I will never accept it. You can follow our rules and laws get the hell out. That is that.

This is only a start more to come I can promise that.

Remember when the country was talking about, making fun of, bashing the Bush daughter Jenna? was it? for getting nailed for drinking underage? That was headline news all week! They showed her picture, had analysts, discussions, and what not all over the drive-by media networks. They did their best to make sure this is a household news story.

WELL!! It has been reported that Mr. “WAR ON DRUGS” Biden’s daughter who is a social worker is caught on video tape snortin’ some cocaine and then bitching the line of coke wasn’t big enough.

This should be HUGE news!! But the poor guy who is trying to sell this video tape is having trouble selling it. No news outlet is paying up for the scandalous tape. WHY?!? I mean we even knew the name of Bristol Palin’s babydaddy, due date, age, what school they went to, when they broke up, what they named their baby, weight, and how she had it. Whats with the double standard?

Remember when the Bush twins were being followed by the media just hoping they would slip up so they can catch it on tape?.. But no news outlet will buy this tape?.. what gives?

What is disturbing is Ms. ASHLEY BIDEN is a social worker who works with children. And for ASHLEY BIDEN to bitch about the line not being big enough tells me she is a heavy coke snorter and is used much fatter and bigger lines. So I am speculating ASHLEY BIDEN snorts on a regular basis. Is she loaded when she works with the kids? Makes me wonder.

What I see happening is, some news org will ante up and pay the $400,00 price tag for the video (National Enquire?) and post photos. Biden’s will DENY DENY DENY or! If the video is that damning Biden’s will admit to the “MY BAD” and the media will cover it as she checks into rehab, then persuade the people to feel sorry for her she is the victim. I’ll bet money they will play the victim card.

Then they will bash anyone who plays the tape etc, saying they have bad taste in news, and bash them on their morals etc. We see this every time a liberal or democrat slips up.

So Sarah Palin’s daughter gets knocked up out of wedlock it is news. John McCains daughter is looking for a nice guy who shares her views and political stance and it’s bad news, the Bush twins party like every other high school kid and they are drunk and BIG NEWS. Biden’s daughter is a coke snortin crack whore who works with kids and it is NOT news. I see the double standard loud and clear.

MS. ASHLEY BIDEN I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS STORY TO BREAK. I WILL BE ON YOU LIKE FLIES ON A FRESH WARM PILE ON A 100 DEGREE DAY. I will follow this story in the future, and I will make sure I use your name in the article as many times possible so when the Biden name is googled your wonderful story appears at the top of the search.

Good day to Ms. ASHLEY BIDEN. I will be waiting for a statement from Joe and Nancy Po-Po in the future.

Okay remember in the stimulus bill how the Democrats kept bragging about creating jobs? Remember how much Pelosi even was pushing things like birth control and STD prevention? The horror of buying things not American??

Did you know that the government is switching from American condoms to condoms from China? This is putting people in Alabama out of jobs. Of course this will not be main stream news. Who cares about those people making a living making condoms. Right?

Not only that you have to ask yourself about the quality coming from China and their products.

Yes, it resorts to laws even about texting. Now the story of this girl killing herself over this is sad. However, it goes back to common sense. Do we really need laws for common sense? Do we really? If you take a nude photo, there is always a chance that it may get into the wrong hands.  One should think if they take a nude photo regardless who it is intended for that there is a small chance that photo may get out to people you don’t want to see it.

When was it that taxing became a punishment? This is what our country has resorted to. Tax should be a fair evil but not anymore.

1. Example 1 - Smokers. You don’t like smoke and you as a nonsmoker do not have to pay the tax so tax them. Tax them good! Tax them so much they will want to stop doing something that is legal. The cost they put on the health system is a good excuse, yet the tax has nothing to do with that. Has your health insurance got any cheaper? Mine went up and it has nothing to do with me being a smoker. Also what about the fat people, tax food for them so much that they stop eating so much. Yeah that will teach them.
2. Example 2 - Tax those fat rich people getting bonuses at AIG. Nevermind it was wrote in the stimulus bill they could have those. You allowed the people you elected into office to make that stimulus law. Then they turn around and make a law to tax them 90% Dont you see something wrong here? Oh they say they are trying to get back the American people’s money. STOP HANDING OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE!
3. Those filthy rich people. Punish them for making so much. Its not FAIR they make so much and they should pay a ton of taxes because well they are rich. Make them carry the water! Socialism.

I just have to sit here and ask myself what the hell is going on here and how can Americans allow this crap to go on in our government?

Dear IRS,

I am sorry to inform you that I will not be able to pay taxes owed April 15 , but all is not lost.

I have paid these taxes: accounts receivable tax, building permit tax, CDL tax, cigarette tax, corporate income tax, dog license tax, federal income tax, unemployment tax, gasoline tax, hunting license tax, fishing license tax, waterfowl stamp tax, inheritance tax, inventory tax, liquor tax, luxury tax, Medicare tax, city, school and county property tax (up 3.3 percent last 4 years), real estate tax, social security tax, road usage tax, toll road tax, state and city sales tax, recreational vehicle tax, state franchise tax, state unemployment tax, telephone federal excise tax, telephone federal state and local surcharge tax, telephone minimum usage surcharge tax, telephone state and local tax, utility tax, vehicle license registration tax, capitol gains tax, lease severance tax, oil and gas assessment tax, Colorado property tax, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma and New Mexico sales tax, and many more that I can’t recall but I have run out of space and money.

When you do not receive my check April 15, just know that it is an honest mistake.

Please treat me the same way you treated Congressmen Charles Rangel , Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and ex-Congressman Tom Daschle and, of course, your boss Timothy Geithner. No penalties and no interest.

P.S. I will make at least a partial payment as soon as I get my stimulus check.

I have been very busy with family research projects and have not been able to post on here. I will get caught up with some of the latest going on.

Smoking Tax

The federal smokers tax sure was stealthy. That goes into effect on the first of April. I am not saying this just because I am a smoker. I am saying this because you can not single out people and tax them. If smoking is so bad, which I agree it is, outlaw it. Stop using it as a tax revenue. I guess I get a little disgruntled on how the tax on smokers by state and federal levels keeps creeping up but the alcoholics still continue to enjoy their booze not getting taxed. Stop picking on smokers and look at all the ills out there.

Smoking Ban

Again my state is banning smoking in public places. Again if smoking is so bad outlaw it. Telling a business owner what they can and can not allow is bull. Smoking is legal so why should there be a law saying a business owner can not allow a legal activity in their place of business? When I go out to eat etc I sit in  nonsmoking anyways so it is not that. It is just the fact that this sort of thing is wrong.

Pelosi flies on your dime.

Pelosi - The liberals bitch about personal aircrafts and look at Pelosi. This story is wonderful. Our military is her personal airline and your tax dollars are paying for it. It is kind of like taxes. It is okay to raise taxes and tax the wealthy. The liberals just dont bother to pay theirs.

So they would like you to think so they can shove through the same bill with a different name and same agenda. Tell me how does it feel that the government has to dictate what you decide to listen to? Is it that you are not intelligent enough to make that choice on your own? When are people going to stand up against these morons that are in office and push their own agenda and not yours that you voted them in for? Just amazes me.
