Occupy Wall Street?

Don’t protest Wall Street, protest the government that made the the rules and regulations they are required to live by.

Blame the government that rewards Wall Street, banks and other financial institutions for failure by guaranteeing investments with taxpayer backed securities.

Blame the government from regulating and taxing manufacturers until they leave the country because it is cheaper to do business elsewhere.

Blame the government that gives loans to these same manufacturing companies to “save the workers” and then give the money to unions while stiffing the investors.

Blame the government that has set in place policies that are killing jobs, like the ban on carbon light bulbs and banning drilling in the Gulf.

Blame the government that has shut-off our natural resources to the point that we are no longer self-sufficient while allowing foreign countries move in to extract these same resources.

Blame the government that has thrown in so much red tape that opening a coal power plant will cost investors more than any profits they might make and take more time than it’s worth.

Blame the government that does not consider gas and food prices when figuring inflation rates. Bacon was $3 a pound 2 years ago, now its $7 for 12 ounces and gas is a dollar a gallon higher than last year.

Blame the government that lost 2/3 of the equity in homes in the last 2 ½ years.

Blame the government that has spent more than $4 trillion tax dollars to “stimulate the economy” and wants another $500 billion.

Blame the government who are investing our tax dollars in companies that are risky at best like Solyndra.

Blame the government that produces nothing and in order to give it to others must first take the money from someone that earned it.
The problem is not Wall Street, the problem is government.

Jimmy Hoffa - Democratic Pawn

It’s amazing the stupidity of Jimmy Hoffa suggesting that the tea party folks are destroying American workers jobs, that they are somehow pawns led around by the Koch brothers and they are to blame for “right to work states” Huh?

The tea party started in February of 2009, all of the 22 Right-to-Work states were instituted prior to that date.

The tea party members did not invoke the free trade agreements that leave us with a lopsided trade deficit.

The tea party people did not start congressional over-spending

The tea party is not responsible for Café standards on automobiles

The tea party did not place restrictions on energy companies driving costs up nationally

The tea party did not threaten voters at the polls or partner with an organization that illegally registered Mickey Mouse and the entire Dallas football team to vote.

The Tea Party does however endorse reduced government spending, opposition to taxation in varying degrees, reduction of the national debt and federal budget deficit and adherence to an originalist interpretation of the United State Constitution

Maybe Jimmy Hoffa should take a look at these statistics before spouting off.

Percentage Growth in Real Personal Income (1999-2009)

Right to Work States 28.3%
Forced-Unionism States 14.7%
National Average 19.5%

Cost of Living-Adjusted Per Capita Disposable Personal Income

Right to Work States $35,543
Forced-Unionism State $33,389
National Average $34,256

Here’s another little tidbit of info for Jimmy; leading the pack in Big Labor’s violence category is the Teamsters. Since 1991, they have had 454 incidents of violence and they have twice as much as the group in 2nd place.

The comments this past weekend by these “democratic operatives” shows the level of urgency that this party is experiencing. The Democrat’s cannot run on their record so they need to attack anybody and anything to distract from that record.

When a conservative group of ordinary America’s concerned on which way their country is heading are called “terrorists, racists and jihadists” then they should know that they are the right track, especially when the name-calling comes from the extreme left wing, such as Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the number one race baiter in this country, Al Sharpton.

Michigan Film Industry

If the only reason the film industry is willing to come to Michigan is tax payer dollars, then let them find another state to do business in. Michigan needs companies to invest in this state.

One of the best incentives to make that happen is to reduce the taxes charged to businesses and the other is to make sure government stays out of the way so that the business can grow.

Michigan legislators have destroyed the auto industry in this state by continuously adding additional taxes on these businesses and the federal government, not wanting to miss out on that money, did its part by adding mandates, standards and laws intended to “protect” the people from accidents caused by these vehicles. Don’t let them fool you into thinking they cared about the American people; they won’t write a bill unless there is money to be made somewhere.

Government greed has destroyed just about every business in this country. Look at oil, coal, and nuclear. They are literally millions of jobs sitting idle because apparently they cannot find a way to milk these businesses for any more money.

And look at what they did for Social Security. We had billions in reserves back during the Johnson administration when they decided they could count is as part of the budget and use the money for “investing” which we all know is the code word for spending. It is now on the brink of insolvency and we can thank the geniuses in DC that think they know better how to spend our money.

Government has grown too large and they are causing undue financial hardship on the American people not because of inactivity but because of inept, corrupt politicians in search of their slice of the pie, problem is their slice now consumes the slice of those that paid for the pie.
