Independence Day

When in the course of Human Events, the established government of the Nation refuses to adhere to the will of the People, it is time to replace that Government with a Governing Body that will do the will of the People. That is the basis of the Declaration of Independence of The United States of America. This Nation was founded on the Principles of self rule, that the Government will be represented by employees of the People, and that those Government Employees elected by the People in free and fair elections shall pursue the policies and courses of action that the majority of the People of the Nation wish to pursue. The Government Employees of the United States of America over the last seven and a half years has failed to adhere to the will of the People. Not only have they failed to consider the wishes of the American for whom they work, but they have outright stated that they do not care what the American People think, care about or want. When the Government Employee filling the vice...

GM at $11.55 Per Share

When G.W. Bush took office the price per share of GM was over $80.00 which would have bought you over 80 gallons of gasoline. Today June 27, 2008 you can buy a share of GM stock for $11.55 which will buy you less than 3 gallons of gasoline. There was an adage in the 1950's thru the 1970's that said, "as GM goes, so goes the Nation", which meant that when GM was doing well financially, so too was the Nation. If we apply that adage today, when G.W. Bush took office GM was doing very well financially, and by coincidence so was the Nation.

Today, June 27, 2008, GM is at an all time low, and the deficit in the budget is at an all time high. The Republican National Committee and the members of the party are quick to say that Republicans are fiscally responsible and that the Democrats will just tax and spend and grow the Government.

John McCain's Economy

Image
John McCain thinks that giving the American Tax Payer a gas tax Holiday (Eliminating the Federal Gas Tax for a set period of time) is a solution to the current economic and energy crisis that is now plaguing America due to the policies of the last seven and a half years. Eliminating the gas tax will save the average American driver about $32.00 over a three month period. Does John McCain actually think that saving the America driver $32.00 will fix the economic mess that his Party's leadership has caused? America is in this economic mess because the current Republican Administration and the Republican Congress from 2000-2006 looked adopted and pushed the Bankruptcy Bill that was written by the financial industry. A Bill that allows lenders to fix interest rates at levels exceeding 39%. The economic mess was further exacerbated by the wasteful invasion of a Sovereign Nation that destabilized the oil producing region of the Middle East. The Republican Congress and President also re...
