general motors…

March 31, 2009

CEO Rick Waggoner is out… he was booted by the President of the United States.  This is, of course, unsettling to see the government dictating over private sector business.  This is some thing Hugo Chavez or Fidel Castro has done. Sure, one could argue that they’re taking tax payer money in a bailout and that [...]

mob idiots…

March 20, 2009

…again, I don’t like these bonuses for various execs when the economy is tanking… The blind hatred for corporate folks has approached a level of blatant stupidity and absolute insanity.  The protesters don’t even understand why they’re angry.  Sure, the bonuses are crap…but, uh, guys… YOUR GOVERNMENT created this and allowed it to happen.  AIG [...]

obscene bonus update…

March 18, 2009

I am curious to see the outrage on Freddie Mac’s bonus program… Obama and Dodd are practically on the payroll of Freddie Mac with the campaign contributions. Outrage!!  Come on Barry… get, ahem, er, um…. angry!!

aig bonuses…

March 18, 2009

I am absolutely infuriated…enraged….pissed off…disgusted…there aren’t enough words to describe how I feel about this.  I have never witnessed a clearer example of the fox guarding the hen house. Of course I don’t like the bonuses on my tab…duh. There’s a bigger issue here that is is getting lost in the blind hatred for the [...]

March 16, 2009

I hate paying taxes… well, let me rephrase:  I hate what my taxes are paying for. So…I have something to say about it.

capitalism on the rise…

March 2, 2009

I love Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. I’ve read it twice and lately, I’ve felt a need to read it again.  Recent thinking and the shift of America’s political spectrum have caused me to stop and consider the purpose of work and its resulting reward. Apparently, I’m not the only one.

they’re baaaackk…

February 26, 2009

Apparently, I spoke too soon. I was full of Hope for Change.  Tax and Spend is back in fashion on Capitol Hill and the White House! There is some extreme short-sightedness here.  Sure, it makes for a wonderful sound bite… “raise taxes on those oil producing bastards and mega-corporations!  They make enough money!” There are [...]

fair… a follow up…

February 25, 2009

So apparently I struck a chord with this one, which I guess is expected.  Religion and politics… Perhaps my point needs a little clarification…and I apologize for not necessarily being more clear to start with.  Not everyone agrees with me and that’s what makes this country, and our Constitution, great!  Of course, I merely posted [...]

fair…

February 24, 2009

Fairness comes in many forms and is often cited as a reason to either: give everyone an equal opportunity or share equally in the reward.  The unfortunate part is, there is no consideration of the appropriateness of “forced fairness,” which is not fair in and of itself. Look…I absolutely support helping those who have found [...]

i feel stimulated…

February 21, 2009

The “tax cut for 95% of Americans…” we heard so much about… Most workers will see about a $13.00 per week increase in their take-home pay this year.  In 2010, the credit will be about $7.70 a week. Wow, 8 bucks a week…what to do with all that money…assuming I actually see any of it?
