MY GENERATION, SO DISAPPOINTING

Oracle's Ellison to buy most of the Hawaiian Island of Lanai.


Because that is what we all need; our own private island.  

I'm sure this is the best use of his fortune.  While most of us are struggling to keep our homes this CEO just buys a whole island; part of one of our State's; part of the USA.

Makes me wonder how many Oracle employee's he layed-off or fired so he could raise enough money.  Bush tax cuts in action!

CHENEY GETS A NEW HEART?

Say it isn't so....
There is some poor soul out there that filled out a organ donor card, passed away and their heart went to Dick Cheney!  That is just to sad, I don't even want to think about it.

But, this makes me wonder....
What kind of Health Insurance does Dick have?  That's right, since he served as a Congressman and Veep of the United States; we the American People pay for his Health Coverage!

I say, "give this model citizen of the U.S. the very best health care that our money can buy, spare no expense".  A mechanical heart, heart bypass, new heart, brain transplant or what ever it takes to keep him alive.  Then I wish him reincarnation one million times over as a common fly in a cow pasture as penance for his crimes against humanity.

Rush Limbaugh Boycott

It's about time that big companies start pulling their ad's from the Limbaugh "show"!

Let's kick'm while we have the chance......

If you can stomach listening to Rush nonsense; target his local advertisers.  If you hear an ad from a local store give them a call or stop-by the store and let them know you won't shop there until they stop supporting Limbaugh.

Don't get me wrong I support free-speech, but Limbaugh supporters would "drink-the-kool-aide" if he told them too.

VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENT CONGRESSMEN

Congress has failed the American People; the two-party system has failed the American People.

All current Congressional Incumbents should be voted out of office.  Congress now votes "along the party line", rather what is in the best interest of their constituents.  Hence, nothing important really gets done.  The American People are no better off today than they were when Bush & Cheney left office.

No Politician wants to take responsibility for how or why the United States is in a financial crisis. (With the exception of Ron Paul)  Because if they do they may have to account for why they allowed Bush & Cheney to wage an illegal war that cost the country Billions of dollars.  It is a fact, the Bush Administration mortgaged the United States to China to fund this war.  Now those that supported this failed cause don't want to have their taxes increased to pay for this fiasco.

Republican's continue to fight any increase any increase in the income tax they are paying.  They want the "middle class" to pay for the ill fated war in Iraq and Afghanistan that many of them or the Corporations that support them profited from.

They Bush/Cheney Administration stressed reduced taxes for the Rich and for the Corporations using the Reagan concept of "trickle down economics".  Basically, if we reduce "their" taxes they will employ more people and they economy will grow.

That theory didn't work under Reagan; and it certainly didn't work under Bush, because if it did work we would not have this Unemployment Rate combined with record Corporation's Profits.

Summary:  All Congressional Incumbents should be voted out!  Bush tax cuts should be eliminated.
Lobbying should be outlawed.  Let's tie Congressional wage to the Federal Minimum Wage.  Maybe it's time for the United States of America to Un-Declare our Independence and return to the rule of England.

Are Medicare Costs really an issue in the Budget Defecit?

Currently every Employed American has 1.45% of every dollar earned deducted from their paycheck and that amount is then matched by the Employer.  The results are 2.9 cents for every dollar earned payed into the Medicare Fund.  In addition to those generated funds,  individuals that earned the right to receive Social Security and Medicare are now rewarded by having $96.50 deducted from their Social Security Checks each month to pay for their Medicare Benefits.  Medicare like most Insurance Plans has an out-of-pocket deductible and that is currently $250.00 per calendar year.

Are we really supposed to believe that Medicare is the reason the U.S. is in debt? 
If so, it's not Medicare that needs an overhaul.

Has this become an issue because beginning in 2013 individuals earning more than $200,000 per year will have to pay 1.9% of their income and that will have to be matched by their employer's?
