  • the war on poverty

    For too many years we have fought this war how­ev­er the results on the war on pover­ty is a sad thing. Pover­ty is some­thing that because of poor lead­er­ship we still face as a huge issue. When you con­sid­er the truth it is some­thing that should be evi­dent and easy to under­stand. There are so…

  • Net Neutrality?

    So, what is Net Neu­tral­i­ty? That might be up for debate because what you hear from one side is total­ly dif­fer­ent from the oth­er side. On one side you hear that large cor­po­ra­tions are plan­ning on using the inter­net as a way to make even more mon­ey from the “already” high fees that they have…

  • Oil Prices and the white house

    Some­thing amaz­ing hap­pened a few weeks ago, peo­ple all over Amer­i­ca learned some­thing about how the econ­o­my works.

  • Walmart Gift card Scams

    Be aware of a fake Wal­mart gift card scam that is going around on Face­book.  Part of the issue with these “Give Away” spon­sor offers is that the con­sumer is often in for a lot of grief, usu­al­ly in the form of loads of spam com­ing into your email box and tons of tele­mar­keters call­ing…

  • Why Polls Mean Nothing…

    This year as in the past the Media (lib­er­al therof, non report­ing media) except when it ben­e­fits their agen­da, usu­al­ly begin to report how polls tell this what will hap­pen in the future.

  • Does social medicine work?

    We know that the old way was not work­ing, yet the new social way (which is not real­ly new at all) Is not work­ing well either.

Many of these big com­pa­nies are accept­ing large dona­tions by char­i­ty to help defray the costs asso­ci­at­ed with those that…

  • IRS scandals

    The IRS has nev­er been par­tic­u­lar­ly liked by any­one, but in this case it is a seri­ous prob­lem when peo­ple are afraid of a gov­ern­ment agency that has become too pow­er­ful to con­tin­ue to exist.  Find out More… What if they just elec­tron­i­cal­ly deb­it­ed every­one’s pay­check for 10 per­cent, shut down all the offices, (because…
