Stop talking, start doing.

The older I get the more I find that people, at least those I've bounced into over time, tend to "talk" a lot. They don't do so much though. I have people in my life, not by choice..more so by force, that make grand commentary and sweeping allegations but don't tend to have too much action. These are generally people who make brash, loud comments puffed up with what they believe are factual elements. But more times than not, these individuals find themselves without many compatriots. That result is discovered usually after long winded thought processes that seem to pull from facts based in "something they heard" but rarely can be reproduced without several counter arguments. And thus, the problems begin. I know I'm not alone in this experience and I'm positive some of these types of individuals would be just as accusatory towards me. That said, it doesn't shed the fact that comments based on education instead of experience only take you so f...

I'll steel from your right pocket to fill your left.

Article Obama is calling on Congress for a 100B small-business 'thing' for lack of a better word. It is based completely around stopping tax cuts allowed under the Bush administration to fund the credit. Here is the truth in that though. Most small business owners, especially those in Type-S corps, make over $250,000. Wait, I'll rephrase, are taxed on an income over $250,000 since all revenue on-hand in the company is viewed as 'income' by the Federal Government. This is the same group that Obama wants to "tax for being rich". So essentially, Obama wants to tax a group to pay itself later. This is the most ridiculous thing Obama has yet announced. Sadly, the only people smart enough to realize how bad this is are in the minority of voters. I'm sure to those that think $250,000 is "rich" this probably sounds like a great idea. Oh what a blessing to be ignorant.

Stop getting involved

Obama is to unleash another costly and useless program geared towards the few but paid for by the many. Apparently he doesn't understand that in economics things need to run their course. This constant interjection is more damaging than helpful and time has proven that. Now the administration is running around debating what type of "small business" deals they can cut in order to not bleed out in 2010 elections, and even worse the 2012 election. This lack of cohesion with the populace could be most obviously highlighted by the exit of combat troops from Iraq after 7 years having very little 'air' time. This administration has played favorites with its economic plans and as a direct result caused huge upheavals and turmoil within all aspect of economic America. Unemployment rates continue, continue, to push upward. And the smoke-screen of success in employment, done via hiring temporary people to work the US Census, was easily lifted by a perpetual increase in the l...
