Obama gives investment advice

In case you didn't know, Obama's advice is to buy more stock now -- it is at such a good price. Is this perhaps a ploy to try and stimulate the market, and then take credit for stocks rising? Anyway, had you bought on his advice you would be about 3% poorer now. You would be a little bit closer to relying on the government to bail you out. Either way, Obama wins.



Stock Market down 20% since Obama took office

The stock market has fallen over 20% since Obama has taken office. Clearly wall street has not responded well to President Obama's capitalist-snuffing policies. Every president wants to take credit for a good economy, but President Obama does not want to associate the stock market's indication that his policies will fail.

Chris Matthews does not respect our 'System'

Chris Matthews says that he thinks Obama will fail because of our system, and that America needs to respect a Democracy, a simple majority. Chris Matthews needs a lesson in our government and should understand why our framers made our form or government a republic. See his comments below and then the video about governments.

Limbaugh is a Patriot

Rush says what we are all thinking. We should take note, stand up and let our voice be heard.

Gregoire likes the stimulus plan -- of course

Read the Politico story here.

Gregoire wrote an ideas piece that draws a parallel between FDR's New Deal and Obama's stimulus plan. She touts it as a plan that will help save and create jobs and create future prosperity. She gives credit to FDR's New Deal as providing 75 years of prosperity.

Governor Christine Gregoire has it wrong. FDR's new deal was failing and it was WWII that scholars argue pulled us out of the great depression. Until we lift the burden from small businesses and start creating wealth, will we pull out of this depression (yes it's a depression, the reporting just hasn't caught up yet).

Christine Gregoire ran Washington State into our largest deficit ever. Now reported at over $8 billion, Gregoire is excited about any bailout from President Obama. The saving and creating jobs will be government jobs. I say we already have enough government jobs. It's time to start cuttingPublish Post them. Government jobs for the first time, outpaced industrial and construction jobs combined. The stimulus plan will only increase that gap.

Christine Gregoire needs to take a lesson from Bobby Jendal: run your state on a balanced budget and refuse the stimulus money from Obama.

Arnold Schwarzenegger needs to take a lesson from Bobby Jendal

The Governator has driven California into deep financial problems and is standing in line with his hand out yelling at the GOP to work with Obama. What Schwarzenegger should have done is manage his state and keep the budget ballanced which is his constitutional duty.

Arnold should take note from a true conservative, Bobby Jendal who has kept his state healthy and is rejecting Obama's stimulus money.

Gregoire, State Income Tax, COMMUNIST!




Here are the 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx:
10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto1.Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all
emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralisation of
credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralisation of the means of
communication and transport in
the hands of the State.
7.Extension of
factories and instruments of
production
owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands,
and the improvement of the
soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal
liability of all to labour.
Establishment of industrial
armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with
manufacturing industries;
gradual abolition of the distinction between
town and country, by a more equal distribution of the population over the country.
10.
Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labour in
its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, &c.,
&c.
[6]
According to the Communist Manifesto, all these were prior conditions for a
transition from capitalism to communism (but Marx and Engels later expressed a
desire to modernize this passage
[7]).
Let's look at number 2 -- A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. Hmmm, that sounds like Gregoire's plan. The more you make, the more you are taxed.
Gregoire has been quoted saying, "The people of Washington just need to be educated on the merrits of an income tax." Do we? Or do we need to be educated on the merrits of Communism?
