herbs blog/tazmansvoiceHerb A (504)    Herb A    USA Marketing Solutions Obama Yeah Finally doing something rightPosted Friday, January 29, 2010 (10 days 22 hours ago.) Viewed 11 times. I was impressed with Obama Wednesday night but he still a dreamer. The Democratic Party and Obama have rubbed the republicans face in the political sand and they won't forget it or forgive it. We elected these people to do what's right for us but both parties think individually for themselves and their special interest groups. Even though Wall Street and the big banks don't like it I finial agree with Obama. He is finally getting as the say in Yiddish batesum (I don't know if I spelled it right, but it is the lower extremeness of a male). I was glad to see the democrats get knocked down a peg and it was a large peg. When a party has to much power it is like being a doctored. Nancy Pelosie is Obama's hench woman. The bulldog that would cut your head off if you didn't agree and to think I was happy a few years ago to she her get the chairmanship. Maybe now there is a chance for bipartisan agreements on healthcare and other issues. Clinton did it with a Republican majority while he was in office but then again Obama does not have the political savvy that Clinton had and still has. As I have said many times before I am neither a Republican nor Democrat, I am an American and I represent what I feel is good for America. I believe that we should stand up and fight for our rights. Put controls on Wall Street, the banks, airlines, gas companies etc. We better start controlling what they do or we will all be broke. When it comes to health care we should put limits on lawsuits and keep the ambulance chaser at bay. Lets talk about the Drugs companies. Why does it cost more here in the USA for medicines then anywhere else? Put controls on them or import it from Canada. People on Medicare pay close to a hundred dollars a month and that doesn't include supplements or drugs programs. They are all extras to be paid for out of their pockets. The worst part about the system the government have for our seniors is the doughnut whole, where all seniors have to pay for there meds after a certain limit, I think it's 2,700. If we all paid around $ 50.00 per person and have brokers handle the different companies, (Like other Insurances), it could be the best health care system in the world. But that's to simple for our congress and senate to grasp. To stimulate the country the congress and senate should give us back what they have taken from us for years. Deductions off our taxes for interest we pay on credit cards, cars, house repairs, work clothes, childcare. These are the things that if given to this country people would have more money to stimulate the economy. Instead they give us a refund taxes credit and take others things away from us. If you want everyone to pay his or her fair share of taxes then repeal personal income tax. Replaced it with tax on all foods, paper goods, gas and everything that is used in everyday life. It would be cheaper for us the people and more money would be put into the government. We would finally all pay the same taxes based on what we used. Induce the banks to give us a few percentage more on our savings the more we save. Make retirement funds either none taxable or tax at a very low rate. If we want to create more jobs we should cut taxes for all business. And put caps on what labor Unions can do. We need to hold down inflation buy holding down cost. Raises in inflation should only raise pay's. Equal pay for a job should be determined by that job not by race or gender. I think we should put term limits on our Senators and Congressman. It's unheard of that they can serve in office for 45 years. After that long you know their corrupt how else can the get the money to get elected. Now that our Supreme Court has opened the floodgates they'll be more corrupt. Both parties should be given money from the general fund at a certain amount to be spent on a campaign. News Channels should be asked to give equal time to all parties and not be paid for but deducted from business expenses. My next issue is Illegal aliens if they do not want to become citizens through them out. They use our resources and send the money home. I don't care if they have a child here or not, the parents are still illegal. We're making cuts on people who paid into the social surety system all of the lives to give it to Illegal aliens. In closing about this issue if you don't speak English, which is our language, then learn it. We shouldn't have to lean their language although it would hurt all Americans who are born her to speak many languages. When it comes to trade with other countries we should put tariffs on them as high as they put on us. Let deal on a level playing field. If we really have allies then why are we the largest army in Afghanistan and everywhere else? I know I sound harsh but we have to think about ourselves for a change. It's the elderly and our children's generation that will be effected if we don't act. I have helped the homeless and elderly along with being a big brother. I am always ready to help some one but I am tired of supporting people that don't care about our country. It's time for the middle to come back again and be strong and not be afraid of some one taking our house, job and life. In closing lets not forget the people that really need our help now and years from now. The people who are suffering the devastation of the earthquake in Haiti. These are the people that the world should help. I have place a link below to the Red Cross website http://www.redcross.org/ 
Permalink Comments (1) The American Dream 2010Posted Thursday, January 14, 2010 (25 days 23 hours ago.) Viewed 12 times. It was early August morning. The sun was shining and the birds singing. The warmth of the sun was already reflecting off the cement. People were walking around in short paints and short sleeve shirts. Even though it was hot people were still running around boathouse row. As they ran they drank their water and wiped the heads with rags. I was sitting on a bench watching them run by. As I sat there I couldn't remember how I got there. I could smell liquor on my clothes. Then I remembered that I was in a bar last night but I couldn't remember where. I sat there with my clothes-dripping wet. I looked down; there was a red tint to my close. Like some one trough die on it. I sat back on the bench and looked up into the sky. It seemed so quite and tranquil. I feel deep in thought. The noise around me stopped. Then the feeling of loneliness came over me. I had nothing; I had no one were the thoughts that rushed through my head. My hart started beating. It felt like it was going to explode inside me. The harder it beat the more I went into a daze. My eyes wouldn't open. Then I saw my life flash before me. I could see a young child around six years old and another child around two. They were running around a large back yard. There was a good size house attached to it. Who weir they and why was I thinking about them. I don't remember them or the house. I don't remember a wife, children or anything about my life. I do remember that I was some kind of salesman. I would travel all day talking to people but about what I don't know. I feel so empty, so alone. Like I didn't have a purpose in the world. I could feel tears rolling down my eyes. I just sat there and tried to put all the memories and faces together that was now shooting into my mine. I had to put them in order. There was a blond woman stand with her back towards me. I couldn't see her face or hear any voices but I knew she was crying. I felt her sadness. What is going on? Nothing made sense. All these feelings feel real and not like a dream. I tried to wake but I couldn't Tears started rolling down my eyes again. Again I tried opening my eyes. This time with success. It was late afternoon and I was covered with sweat. I got up and started walking. As I walked I could feel myself floating above the rooftops. I feel like I was in a movie. All the sudden I stop floating and hovered over a street where a several people were gatherd. They were standing in the middle of it. I was about to find out what was going on. Two children were standing there with the blond woman over a man lying that was not moving. There was another woman that looked frantic and was crying also. I could hear the ambulance coming in the background. As I looked at the man lying on the ground I was shocked to see whom it was. It was me! As I saw myself lying there I knew that I was going to die! It all came back to me. That was my wife and two children. We were living the typical middle class life when everything came falling down. I lost my job and it got tough to pay all the bills. I was working two jobs and my wife picked up an extra job on the weekends. But it wasn't enough. Our house was going to be foreclosed on in a month. The bank wouldn't renegotiate our loan. The only way I saw that my family could keep the home we work for so long for was to take drastic action. I ran into the street on purpose hopping to get hit and die. I know that was the cowardly thing to do but this way my family would collect my insurance. This way they would face being homeless. I gave my life to make sure. The Government and the banks let us down. I worked two jobs and my wife work a job on the weekends to show the bank that we would do anything to save our home. That wasn't enough. This program that the government has helps only the banks. I had to die to keep my house. My family has to do without me so they could live in our home. I had to die for them to live!!! This is not a true story that I know of but I bet somewhere some one has thought of it because the banks and our government has failed to keep the American Dream alive for the American people. Even though no one helps America it is time for us to stand up again and help Haiti, If you like article please go to the link below and donate to the Red Cross http://www.redcross.org/ http://www.sos-usa.org/About-SOS/focus-areas/Emergency-relief/Children-in-catastrophes/Pages/Haiti-Earthquake-Relief.aspx?et_cid=2 & et_lid=1398 & et_sub=haiti & gclid=CKnEjI_RpJ8CFag65Qod9xZFrw

First of all I think that the head of Home Land Security should be booted of office. Just the mere fact that she got on T.V. and said that our strategy on terrorism worked in stopping the bomber shows how stupid she really is. I hope no one bought into that. She and the rest of our national agencies that are supposes to protect us dropped the ball but most of all it's the countries that let these terrorist on board air plains who are to blame. The biggest blame has to go to our nave president. Once again Obama proves that he is not Presidential material. He wants to close getmo and realest more terrorists to come back and try to kill us. That's not solving the problem it's creating a bigger one. Obama better wake up and realize that before we have another 9/11. Obama is coming back early from his vacation. Too bad he should have been back the same day it happened, he's commander and Chief isn't he? Generals in war don't get a day off. We are in a war. It seems like he is no better than Bush who sat there reading to a class of children while the terrorist boomed the twin towers. Wake up Obama and face the real world. Your not on the streets of Chicago anymore you're the President of the Greatest country of the world. I afraid of what they will call us when your done your fours years. We had eight years of Bush, which was a disaster for this country and the world. No we have you, freeing terrorist and printing money like it grows on trees. So fare we are still no better off but the banks on Wall Street are. Lets talk about health care. Give us what you have. That will be great. I would even be willing to pay something towards it because if people think that this bill is not going to cost us their fooling themselves. The tax hikes that this will cause from now till 2014 will put us in another rescission. Wake up Obama and smell the roses.
