Conservatism is calling

Anyone remotely "in the know" see's where things are going, and it isn't anywhere near resembling a positive direction.......Black, White, Yellow, Red, Christian, Jew, Islam, Atheist, Gay, Straight, Blah, Blah, Blah..............

The Numbers are the Numbers, They don't look good.

If you are currently paying taxes, you're screwed.

If you're currently not paying taxes, you're eventually gonna be screwed.

If you're a business type, especially an owner (C Corp, S Corp, Sole PPS, LLC, etc.), seek counsel or sell, providing you can find a buyer...........:ah:

Pretty Upbeat Huh?

what defines an economy? does the government work it up and enforce it on the public, or is it matter of money in verus money out?

the government may mildly modify the rules, but from my point of view, the majority of what we define as 'the economy' is just business. if you wanna cut and run that just makes you an unamerican b!tch that's on the loosing end regardless of president. take your failing business, cut and run, and blame it on the president. still a b!itch from my pov.

of course, i'm canadian and know nothing about how money works; i just sit here end enjoy one of the best economies on earth.

Hip Hop intro to Keynes vs Austrian school economics:

nicely done video produced by some George Mason university econ students

Nice video.
It summarizes the two schools quite well.

The following isn't a video but it compares the supply-side and the demand-side economics. A Primer on Supply-Side vs Demand-Side Economics


For those of you without time to read the link above, here are some interesting questions:

1. If lower tax creates jobs and is good for economy, is the best tax rate 0% for everyone? Never mind the social programs but who then pays for the military?

2. Is the factory not hiring because tax is too high? Or, because no one has the money to buy?


Also, can we agree that we ALL pay taxes?

If Moochelle Obama stopped spending taxpayer money, what do you think would shrink first, the GNP or the deficit ?

Quote: When Warren Buffet said the tax rate should be higher, I remember some people telling him and him alone to pay more if that is his belief. Well, if any of you guys think that there is too much "entitlement" given out the government, your can promise to not collect social security. Why add to the deficit?

I personally agree with Warren Buffett. I am firmly a right-leaning center guy, but who is this Grover Nohrquist, and why does he have the GOP by the b*lls? I never voted for they guy.

Back to social security: How did it become known as an entitlement? I am not naive enough to think that it will be my only means of support, but I also know that it's something I have paid for with every paycheck I have received. The media has allowed the self-serving politicians to shift it into the same category as food stamps. If it truly is an entitlement, let me have all the money I have deposited, and I will invest it in something more 'noble'.
