Redistribution
I found this amusing.
Redistribute the Wealth
Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read
‘Vote Obama, I need the money.’ I laughed.
Once in the restaurant my server had on a ‘Obama 08′ tie, again I laughed
as he had given away his political preference — just imagine the
coincidence.
When the bill [...]

Mark Cuban and I are on the same wavelength…
Mark Cuban says it perfectly.
How to Get Rich
Oct 4th 2008 11:24AM
Thats what so many want. Right ? I’m certainly not going to lie and say it is not a whole lot better having lots of money. I had a whole lot of fun and loved my life when I was eating mustard and ketchup sandwiches [...]

Use your head in the voting booth.
This is pretty scary stuff. If you vote for Obama, I hope you get what you deserve.
Problem is, I will get what I don’t deserve if he wins.
Some of what is listed below doesn’t sound too bad (daycare for people who are single pares so they can actually work, etc). However, it is the method [...]
Ben Stein for the win.
Ben Stein sums up my thoughts precisely.

How to Ruin the U.S. Economy
1) Have a fiscal policy that creates immense deficits in good times and bad, burdening America’s posterity with staggering burdens of repaying the debt.
2) Eliminate regulation of Wall Street and/or fail to enforce the regulations that already exist, instead trusting Wall Street [...]

Bailout Shmailout.
This whole bail-out nonsense is infuriating. I am surprised that we haven’t seen an uprising from the responsible, frugal citizens of this country. The most I have heard some say is “what is the government going to do for me since it is bailing out everyone else less responsible”.
That sentiment should tell everyone something. The [...]

I couldn’t have said it better myself, Fred.
I wish Fred Thompson would have spoken out like this during his campaign. Nonetheless, I happen to agree with every word of the article below. I am ashamed of what the government is doing. And people want a man in office that wants the government to run every aspect of our lives? [...]

Too much economic pessimism?
I don’t agree with Bush on many things. However I agree with the author that the economy is being portrayed in a negative light to further the political interests of the left. I don’t think I would call Bush’s economic record good (my standards are very high), but I do think that the [...]

You might want to rethink this whole global warming thing…
More evidence that the world has been duped. I have long disputed man’s impact on global warming (yes we have an impact but I do not believe it is NEAR as large as environmentalists suggest).
Mathematical proof that there is no “climate crisis” appears today in a major, peer-reviewed paper in Physics and Society, a [...]

Interesting Article.
I don’t really care anymore to debate the why’s and how’s of Iraq. I just want us to accomplish the mission and quit spending insane amounts of money over there. I am not a huge fan of Bush so discard the notion that this is just me sticking up for “my President”.
However, I [...]

How telling.
Could it be more obvious what the true priorities of Democrats and Republicans are?
Democrats simply want more government and think the the answer to all problems is help from Uncle Sam.
On the other side of the isle we have Republicans who believe in the free market system and it’s ability to solve most problems with [...]

Right on, Mr. Will
Most of the informed realize by now that we are paying $4 for a gallon of gas due to supply issues (not the evil oil companies). If you want someone to blame you need to go after the knuckleheads in Congress.
George Will says it very well below. The link to the original article [...]

Got Debt?
For a long time I have wondered why people seem to have the NEED to acquire more things and more debt. The housing market is one example of the problem (and moving endlessly up the property ladder is just a small part of this). The endless cycle of increasing debt load, zero savings [...]
