You Would Think I Would Get Sick of Being Right ALL the Time

You Would Think I Would Get Sick of Being Right ALL the Time

You would thing I would get sick of being right all the time…but I don’t.  I really don’t.  What made me say this was this article. The title “Obama sees executive pay rules as next financial reform” about made my head explode.  At first I thought, the only compensation the government should be setting is government workers.  What business is it of the government to dictate to private industry what should be the job of the board of directors, and stock holders?  And then, in my little right leaning brain, I got thinking about “the rich need to pay their fair share,” and “the rich need to pay a little bit more.”  Now, for the record, I’m not rich.  Once I thought I had $707 in my bank account.  It turned out I was holding the statement upside down and it really was saying LOL.  It’s sad really.  I just want you to know I’m not defending the rich because I am one.

I was remembering back when Romney released his recent tax records, how everyone was FREAKING out that he “only paid14% in taxes.”  I’ll explain it, even though I’m an idiot.

For easy math, let’s say I make a $100,000, and (again for easy math) let’s say I pay half of that in taxes.  I have $50,000 to do with what I want.  Let say after I pay for the house, food, cars, savings, and such I have $10,000 left.  I choose to invest that $10,000 in stocks.  Now, anyone will tell you investing money is a gamble.  I could make the wrong choice and lose it all.  So the government, knowing that investing money is important to the economy and growth, and knowing that the money I’m investing has already been taxed at 50% (easy math) made it so any money I get back from my investments would be taxed at 14%.  So if I earn $1000.00 dollars from my $10,000 dollar investment, I pay $140.00 on that grand.  Really, there is nothing ‘unfair’ about that.

According to Reuters (which is apparently a News organization) Obama paid 20.5% taxes in 2011.  GASP!!!!!  He paid more than Romney!!!  WHY, WHY, WHY?  IT’S SO UNFAIR!!!

Oh, but wait

Mitt Romney’s 2011 Taxes:

Adjusted Gross Income: $13,696,951
Charitable Giving:          $  2,250,772
Total Federal Taxes:       $  1,935,708 (That’s Million with an M)

Let’s compare this to the average American who pays taxes:

Average Income:                  $45.000
Average Taxes Paid:            $5,060
Average Charitable Giving: $900

Average Percent Paid to federal taxes: 11%
Average percent of charitable donations: 2%

Romney’s income is roughly 304 times that of an average American.  Oh yeah, he is doing pretty well.  He is taxed 382 times what the average American pays in taxes.

Percentages are fun, but it is the dollars behind the percentages that matter.

Just for fun, look at this:

The federal government spends about $112,500 a SECOND.

A SECOND.

If the federal government taxed every penny Romney made it would cover about 2.03 minutes of one day, in one year.

The truth of the matter, is that there are not enough people in this country who make enough money to cover these costs. NO MATTER WHAT THE RATE IS!!!!

The question we should be debating isn’t, “How much can we tax a millionaire?”  Instead, we should be asking, how we can create MORE Millionaires.

That and cut the spending.

Your Parenting SUCKS

Posted on October 26, 2012 by | 2 comments

Your Parenting SUCKS

I was going to write about my take on the Presidential debates.  I have several notes and clever one-liners I wanted to write.  But I’m not going to.  This morning I saw this article, about a twelve year old girl who was murdered by two teenage brothers.  They lured her into their house, strangled her, and stuffed her body into a recycling bin. Why?  They wanted PARTS of her bike.  She was murdered because they wanted parts of her BMX bike.

Now, I’m not naïve.  I know violent crime is nothing new.

I just looked at the title of this article and I want you to know I’m not blaming THESE parents for what happened.  In fact it was the boy’s mother who tipped off the police.  For that she should be applauded.

What I want to write about is parenting in general.

I consider both my wife and myself experts in parenting.  Not because of any classes, or degrees or…well…anything you can point a finger at.  It certainly isn’t because we are smart.  (My wife is smart.  I’m pretty stoopid).  We are “experts” based solely on the fact that we have raise (and are raising) four young men who, so far, have turned out to be pretty good kids (knock on wood).  Now, again, I’m not naïve.  I’m SURE my kids do, and have done crap I don’t know about.  And I know a lot of it has to do with who they choose as friends.  My question is, why not talk to them about their friends?

In my humble opinion, as far as parenting goes, you are only as successful as your stupidest kid.  If you have two kids, one who is an Olympic gold medalist and the other is robbed by a prostitute, guess what?  You failed as a parent.

You may remember several months ago some kids (11 – 13 year olds) bullied an elderly bus monitor and recorded the whole thing so they could put it on Youtube.  Let me tell you, if any of those kids were mine, I would STILL be raining blows upon them.

I was conversing with a co-worker recently who was talking about his kid’s football games.  He claims the league requires that there be police present at the games to keep the parents in line.

Seriously.

Here is another story.  It’s about a mother being arrested for encouraging her daughter to fight.

Quick side note: I asked my mom if I was a gifted child.  She said they certainly wouldn’t have paid for me.

My question is, where the hell are the grown ups?  What is wrong with talking to your kids about morals and values?  I’m not even saying religion.  If religion isn’t your thing you can still have the “we don’t treat people like that,” or the “we don’t dress like that,” or the “that doesn’t belong to you” talk.  It isn’t hard.  You just have to open your pie hole.  I understand the desire to be friends with your kids, but someone has to be the adult.  Grow up.

I recently had a teaching opportunity with my boys.  I told them about my friends in high school.  At the end of my junior year the group of boys I hung out with was getting…hmmm…at little “rougher” than I wanted.  They weren’t bad guys.  They were just getting into partying and drinking.  So my senior year I changed friends.  I wasn’t a jerk.  I didn’t come across as “holier than thou.”  I was friendly.  I just didn’t hang with them anymore.  My point is I told my kids they can stand up for themselves without being a jerk and without being afraid.

Another quick side note: I gave one of my sons a glue stick instead of chapstick last weekend. He still isn’t talking to me.

I remember one time talking to a lady about her kids.  She said, “Well I don’t want to get in the way of their free will.” I remember thinking, “You’re an idiot.”  Free agency or free will (I believe) is a true principle.  But if you let your children play on a busy street because they want to, you’re an idiot. You need to let them know there are guide lines, and consequences to every decision they make.  You can make the decisions all day long, but you have to live with the consequences.  There’s no choosing those.

Obama Wins !! (?)

Posted on October 22, 2012 by | Comments Off on Obama Wins !! (?)

Obama Wins !!  (?)

Well, according to a CBS News affiliate in Arizona.

For 17 seconds, during an episode of “The People’s Court” CBS ran a lower third graphic that showed Obama won the November 6 election with 99% of the precincts reporting.  The “nationwide results” showed President Obama winning the election with 43 percent of the vote, to Romney’s 40 percent -– or 40,237,966 votes to 38,116,216.

Well, isn’t that just really cute?

OH WAIT!!!  I didn’t mention that this was on Friday October 19.  Two weeks before the election.  I know.  It is unbe-FREAKING-lievable.

I’m not suggesting they screwed up and ran the “results” too soon. But I think it is a little troubling that someone invested the time to key in the data for the graphic to appear on the screen in the first place.

Don’t believe me, watch it here.

Can you imagine the uproar if the graphic had appeared showing Romney won on Fox News?

Veep Debate….

Posted on October 12, 2012 by | 3 comments

Veep Debate…

This is just going to be really fast.  I’m going to have a few of my comments here and then I’m going to copy and paste an article from Breitbart.com

First my comments:

I thought both men did really well.  I thought Vice President Biden was going to go off his talking points a few times, but he didn’t.  If I HAD to give my honest assessment of the debate, I would say it was a draw.

BUT Biden came off as a three-letter word: J-E-R-K.

I loved when Biden said, “…they talk about this Great Recession if it fell out of the sky, like, oh my goodness, where did it come from? It came from this man voting to put two wars in a credit card…I was there. I voted against him. I said, no, we can’t afford that. And now all of a sudden these guys are so seized with a concern about the debt that they created.”  It would have been an awesome line, if it were true.  On September 14, 2001  (then) Senator Biden voted for the Afghanistan resolution which authorized “the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States.”  Then again on Oct. 11, 2002, Biden voted for a resolution authorizing unilateral military action in Iraq, according to the Washington Post.

“I was there.”  Ahhhhh, okay.

How about when Mr. Biden threw the State department under the bus with his, “We didn’t know they wanted more security” lie?  What do you mean, “didn’t know?”  Wouldn’t it be great if they had daily briefings on things like that?  And when he says that isn’t he, essentially, blaming the dead Americans for getting killed?  Could I end this paragraph with another question mark?  I dunno, do you?  Should I try?

This was my favorite Biden line of the year, “This is all a bunch of stuff.”

I changed my mind.  I’m not going to copy and paste the article.  It is AWESOME though.  It is titled: By the Numbers: Moderator Raddatz Attacked Ryan 9 Times, Biden Once

Check it out.

LET IT GO!!!!

(REVISED)

I don’t really want to stop the discussion from my previous article.  But I wanted to get this one in before the Vice Presidential debate tonight.

Once again the far-right leaning (eye roll) Jon Stewart attacks the Obama campaign.  He slams their “Big Bird” strategy in what he calls “DEMOCALYPSE 2012”

Here, Let Me Give You a “Big Bird”

Posted on October 9, 2012 by | 11 comments

Here, Let Me Give You a “Big Bird”

 Two things.  First, a few weeks ago my beloved told me that I can sometimes sound “mean” in my articles.  In retrospect that might be true. I feel like this 90% of the time I write:

So I can see how it would come across that way.

Number two.  I had a friend write me and say that I come across “narcissistic” in my writing.  Pfffffff…Narcisa-What!?  I have two things to say to that: One,  I don’t have a narcissistic bone in my smokin’ hot body; and two, even if I were, do you know what is awesome about being a narcissist?  Me.

So…on to today’s article.

At the risk of repeating myself, I wasn’t born with enough middle fingers to fully express how I feel about this.  It is maddening to me.

It seemed like it was just a few minutes after Mitt Romney got finished handing the President his…butt the other night at the first Presidential debate, that I received this picture in an email:

I chuckled.  It’s funny. The fact that the Obama campaign has turned this into the focal point of this election is NOT.  Honestly.  It is now in the realm of the ridiculous.

For those of you that may have missed it, Mitt Romney pointed out the government shouldn’t be borrowing from China to pay for things such as public broadcasting.  He even said he liked Big Bird.  And who couldn’t?  I love Big Bird.  I watched Sesame Street growing up.  (I’m still kinda angry no one told me how to get to Sesame Street.  Stupid song).  But here is a little secret.

SESAME STREET DOESN’T NEED THE TAX PAYERS MONEY!!!!

On CNN last Thursday (October 4th), Sesame Workshop Executive Vice President Sherri Westin said it was “misleading” to say that ending public funding for Sesame Street would hurt the program.  She said, “Quite frankly, you can debate whether or not there should be funding for public broadcasting. But when they always try to tout out Big Bird, and they say we’re going to kill Big Bird—that is actually misleading, because Sesame Street will be here…Big Bird lives on.”

And it’s true.  In 2010 Sesame Workshop former CEO Gary Knell received $988,456 in total compensation.  That’s almost a million bucks.  I don’t berate him a penny of it.  I wouldn’t care if he made $10 million.  I just don’t think the program needs a dime of the tax payer’s money.

Sesame Workshop’s 2011 financial statement showed the program made $46.9 million in licensing from June 2010-June 2011, and made $41.9 million in distribution fees and royalties.  Overall, Sesame Workshop showed more than $136 million in total operating revenues. At the end of June 2011, its net assets totaled $227 million.   Financial reports from 2003 – 2006, show ‘Sesame Street’ made more than $211 million from toy and consumer product sales.  From 2008 – 2011 they made $244.4 million in licensing alone.  In other words, they aren’t hurting.

So why is it the Obama Campaign released this commercial even though Sesame Street has asked it to be taken down?

I’ll tell you why.  No, I think the President’s own words will be more effective.  He said, “If you don’t have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from. You make a big election about small things.”

It looks like the President is following his own advice.  I guess if I didn’t have an idea on how to fix the economy, energy, Libya, out of control gas prices, or unemployment, I would be focusing on a big yellow talking bird as well.

According to Forbes we, the tax payers, spend $300 million on public broadcasting, which in the grand scheme of things is not a lot.  A fifty cent coupon in the grand scheme of my household budget isn’t a lot either.  But if I use a hundred of them, it’s fifty bucks.

Put a fork in it.  This bird is done.

We the People, and the Electoral College

Posted on September 25, 2012 by | 2 comments

We the People, and the Electoral College

So, what you may or may not know about me, your humble writer, is that I work two jobs.  I work my main job (I’ve been employed there for 21 years), and about a year ago I had to get a second job waiting tables three or four times a week.  It BUH-LOWS!!!  First it was a PRIDE SUCKING VORTEX having to get a job waiting tables (I’ve clearly decided to “own it”).  The thing that sucks most about it is I have no one to blame for having to get a second job but myself.  I made a whole bunch of stupid financial mistakes (or would it be a “gaggle” of mistakes?  Most likely it would be a “murder” of mistakes) so I spend the time I used to enjoy with my family to try to keep them fed.  Seriously, it’s like they can eat three times a day and never get tired of it.

So last night I’m waiting tables.  I was waiting on a gaggle of teenagers who were, apparently, a debate team from a local high school.  As you can imagine, I can be quite charming, and being as how I have the gift of gab AND inherited the gene (from my children) I shall call “smartassery” I got along really well with the kids.

In the course of the evening, I was teasing some of them when a young man said to me, “The Electoral College is stupid.”  I have no idea why he said it.  I didn’t know if it was a subject he was debating or what.  The sad thing is I was super busy (which is almost the same as normal busy, I was just wearing a cape) so I wasn’t able to ask him his thoughts on the subject.  More sadly-er than that, I didn’t get a chance to spout out my thoughts on the subject either.  Man, if only I had a website where I could spew my dumbery to my tens of followers.  Oh wait! I have one!!

Just for a quick review, how it works is each state gets a certain number of Electoral College votes based on the number of Representatives they have.  So each state gets two (because each state has two Senators) and then how ever many members they have in the House of Representatives.  So if you live in a state with 5 members of congress you will have 7 Electoral College votes (2 plus 5).  Capisce?

Just for fun I Googled “how many Americans live within 50 miles of a coast” and came up with this website.  It states, “The narrow fringe comprising 17 percent of the contiguous U.S. land area is home to more than half of the nation’s population.”  MORE THAN HALF.

So ask yourself, if more then half of the population lives within fifty miles of the coast, and we lived in a democracy (popular vote) instead of a republic, how often do you think someone who lives in Iowa would ever see a Presidential hopeful?  I’ll answer it for you.  NEVER.  Why would a Presidential hopeful ever waste their time in one of the “fly-over states?”

So two things happened; first, our Founding Fathers were obsessed with the separation of power, AND in either a moment of inspiration or pure BRILLIANCE came up with the Electoral College.  They knew the country would grow: they wanted to insure the smaller states wouldn’t be run over by the ones that are more populous.

Did you ever see the movie “Hunger Games?”  You know how they had a bunch of Districts, and all of them were repressed except the Capital.  I’m not saying it would be like that, but it would kinda be like that.

We live in a Constitutional Republic, NOT a democracy.  In fact, the Founding Fathers hated democracy.  You will not even find the word in our Constitution or the Declaration of Independence.  To me, it seems there are two groups of people what want a true democracy; those who want collective rule, and those who don’t know what they are talking about.  In 1814 John Adams said, “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”

In Federalist papers #10 Madison said, “Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”

On the other hand, do you know who really liked the idea of democracy?  I’ll give you two quotes: Vladimir Lenin said: “Democracy is indispensable to Socialism;” and Karl Marx said: “Democracy is the road to Socialism.”

One of my favorite quotes about a democracy is by (as far as I can tell) the infamous “Unknown” author, who said, “Democracy is when two wolves and a sheep take a majority vote on what’s for supper.”  It is great…unless you’re a sheep.

On the flip side, “In a constitutional republic, the wolves are forbidden from voting on what’s for supper and the sheep is well armed.”  In other words, the rights of the sheep are protected from the wolves by the constitution, and if the wolves rise up against the rights of the sheep, the sheep has a means to protect itself from the mob.  That is why the sheep should always be well armed.

I’ll tell ya, our Founding Fathers were BRILLIANT.

It Failed Because it was PASSED

Posted on September 19, 2012 by | 6 comments

It Failed Because it was PASSED

 The President and his minions have been running around blaming Republicans for everything.  This isn’t shocking; both sides do it.  The Democrats have essentially been saying, “Republicans and Democrats weren’t unified. We couldn’t get together. He didn’t get to finish all the things he wanted to do, etc, etc, bluh, Bluh, BLUH.” On September 14, 2012, future Vice President Paul Ryan was speaking at the “Values Voter Summit” in Washington and, I feel, he nailed it with the following line:

RYAN:  It is true that President Obama, he had a lot of problems not of his own making.  But he also came in with one-party rule and the chance to do everything of his own choosing.  The Obama economic agenda failed not because it was stopped, but because it was passed.

AUDIENCE: (applause and cheers)

RYAN: That’s a key distinction.

(I didn’t take the time to figure out how to shorten the clip, and just show the part I wanted, so here is a link to the entire speech.)

 

 

“WHOA, WHOA, WHOA,” my liberal friends scream, “look what Obama inherited.”

Well, look what Mitt Romney will inherit.

 

Seriously, look at those numbers.  Ask yourself: Are you really better off than you were four years ago?

Giving credit where credit is due, Obama isn’t all bad.  I think trying the soft hand approach when it comes to the Islamic countries, after Bush and Cheney, was the right thing to do.  At first.  It obviously didn’t work, yet he continues the policies.  I like the fact that the President is killing terrorists like it is his job.  I REALLY like the fact that he is using drones to do it.  Kudos to the President.  But at the number one issue–the economy–he is HORRIBLE.  Again, look at the numbers.

Do you wanna know the main difference between Clinton and Obama, from my little brain? During the first two years of the Clinton administration, he pushed a hard leftist social agenda.  It was rejected by the American people in the 1994 midterm elections when the Republicans took over the house for the first time in 40 years.  Almost the exact same thing happened with Obama.  What did Clinton do?  He worked with Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.  He went from a hard left President to a moderate.  Together they reached agreements on welfare reform, a capital gains tax cut, and a budget deal that led to four straight balanced budgets.  Under Obama’s leadership (or lack thereof) the senate hasn’t HAD a budget for almost four years!!

Obama ran as being a unifier. He has been a divider.  He is an ideologue; it is his way or the highway.  Come November, let’s send him packing.

It’s time for someone else to take the wheel.

“If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.”

–         President Barack Obama, February 2, 2009

…And Then There’s The Truth

Posted on September 17, 2012 by | 2 comments

…And Then There’s The Truth

I want to start by saying that I WASN’T going to write about the President’s speech, I wasn’t going to write about the DNC at all.  But now I’m kinda glad I am.  First, you should know I watched more of the DNC than I did the RNC.  They used smaller words, so it was easier for me to understand.  And it was a relief that, in the times I was watching, no one mentioned the 16 trillion dollar debt once.  And, now that I think about it, I didn’t hear anyone mention the 42 months of over 8% unemployment, or the record 46 million Americans on food stamps.  Judging by the “Four more years” chant, the Democrats obviously feel we are better off with this President.  Wait a minute.  Maybe they were chanting about how much longer President Clinton’s speech would go.  Speaking of Clinton’s speech, it was obviously the best of the convention, I noticed it was laced with a LOT of history re-writing.

The only thing I intended to write about Obama’s speech I put as my Facebook status.

I know!!  Look at that face.  I was adorable, wasn’t I?

I was going to let it stand at that, but then…Well, I guess it doesn’t matter.

First off, President Obama’s speech was well delivered.  The man can talk.  That being said, it was full of crap.

In his speech Obama said, “I’ll use the money we’re no longer spending on war to pay down our debt and put more people back to work, rebuilding roads and bridges, schools and runways. After two wars that have cost us thousands of lives and over a trillion dollars, it’s time to do some nation-building right here at home.”

Wait a minute.  That money is borrowed money.  Borrowed.  Can someone explain to me how you can “save” money that doesn’t exist?   It sounds to me as if he plans on continuing spending money we don’t have.  Or am I missing something?

Let me give a hypothetical.  Let’s say you are married to someone who loves to purchase things like…oh…I dunno, let’s say platters/dishes.  Let’s say she has 41 sets.  Not the holiday sets she stores out in the garage, but 41 sets in the house. You tell her she has to stop spending money on dishware.  She agrees, and is excited to “save money.”  You look at the balance sheet at the end of the month and you are still over spending.  You ask her if she is still spending on dishware.  She says, “No.  The money I’m saving by not buying dishware, I’m spending on shoes.”

That truly is not a personal example.  And that is EXACTLY what the Democrats are proposing.

Quick side note: As you know, I’m no mathematician.  I sucked at math in high school and have gotten progressively worse.  So if someone could verify this for me I would appreciate it.  As best as I can figure, Obama has been President for 1.6% of the time since we declared our independence. Yet he has incurred 33.6% of our total debt.

Is that right?

Obama also claims to cut the debt by $4 trillion dollars.  Really?  According to  The Daily Caller, “…the committee Republican staffers (suggest) the $4 trillion deficit reduction claim relies on three accounting gimmicks, namely applying $2.1 trillion saving in the Budget Control Act, claiming $843 billion in saving from war spending that was not going to be spent in the first place, and $394 billion based on the assumption that there will be a  Medicare reimbursement “doc fix.”

“When properly counted, $4 trillion in new alleged deficit reduction becomes less than $400 billion. There is no policy change to alter our disastrously unsustainable path.”

Obama then went on to talk about manufacturing.  He claims, “We can help big factories and small businesses double their exports, and if we choose this path, we can create a million new manufacturing jobs in the next four years.”

But the truth is manufacturing has lost over half a million jobs with him as President. And exactly what is his plan for doing that?

“And now you have a choice: We can give more tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas, or we can start rewarding companies that open new plants and train new workers and create new jobs here in the United States of America.”  We have the highest corporate tax rate in the world.  The world.  That alone is making business flee overseas.  Maybe that is what the President intends to export.

The NY Daily News says, “Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s proposal is actually aimed at encouraging investment in the U.S., not overseas.  The U.S. currently has a global tax system that is filled with credits, exemptions and deductions that enable many companies to avoid U.S. taxes and provides an incentive for corporations to keep their profits in other countries. Whether Romney’s plan would spur investment in the U.S. is debatable, but it’s not a plan aimed at dispersing profits abroad.”

I could go on.  But really I need to stop.  I’m repressing my anger in the hope that one day I will be able to fuse the old bar of soap to the new bar of soap with nothing but blind rage.  If you have time the following are great articles on the subject.

doesanyoneknowwhatthelongbuttonatthebottomofthekeyboardisfor???

 Ohhold on.  I, yeahIgot, whoa, waitasec ond, okay yeahIgot it.  I got it.  You push on it to make the words separate.  It’s a bar that puts a space between the words.

Whew!!!!  I’m glad I could figure that out.

I was a little worried.  You see, I have been watching the Democratic National Convention (DNC) whenever I have been able to, and it seems to me whenever a Republican is generalized it is either as a rich, corporate owning, gun toting, selfish fatty, or a toothless stupid-dumb that doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together.

It was either one or the other and…well…I ain’t no rich man.

(Do you see what I just did there?  I used a double negative!!!  What an idiot!!)

This attached video really made me laugh.  It reminded me of a quote from James D. Best who said, “Conservatives think progressives have bad ideas, while progressives believe conservatives are bad people.”

Kudos to “The Daily Show.”

 

 

Now before you get all, “Duh Danny.  Stop being so melodramatic.”  I am not melodramatic! I’m just exaggeratedly emotional about most situations in an overly sensational sort of way.

I was planning on writing about Presidents Clinton, and Obama’s speeches, but I’m not going to, yet.

They were good, but neither were entirely true.

I might write my take on it later.

OH…Before I go.  These pictures made me laugh as well.  I just thought I would share.

 

LIFEZILLA: Beauty may only be skin deep, but it is nice to have if you’re poor and stupid.
