Why Romney's Tax Plan Will Hurt The American People

     Cutting taxes to raise the level of prosperity of the population will not work.  By cutting deductions for the top one percent and lowering taxes, you leave the American government vastly underfunded.

     This gives the leadership an additional mandate with far more sinister implications.  They can now cut education, and other things very important to the average american: Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

     Not to mention Food Stamps, I would like to challenge you all to $29.00 a week on groceries just like the mayor of Phoenix Arizona.  Unable to focus, concentrate and function at your best now when it is most needed.

     The times have changed since the founding of the American Republic when it was primarily an agrarian society.  We had a nation of independent communities that could function mostly independent of the other.

     Now we live in a new global era where the agrarian solutions to the nations problems no longer work.  However the agrarian foundation new that it's own time was limited, so they created a constitution, and a framework for a country whose government was limited enough to protect the civil rights and liberties of the people expand upon them. And to change with the times.

     We should be building our own nation, most of our infrastructure which when it was built kept the nation employed but also brought the nation together in ways it was not before, is crumbling  to pieces and expired around ten years ago.

     The amount of money that would enter the economy from the creation of all these jobs will prove crucial to the revival and recovery of the middle class.  Our new infrastructure will be able to carry more people more efficiently and thus further encourage economic activity.

Obama Just Took It

     Mitt Romney just lied and attacked the president.  Obama just took it.

     Where was my president?  Where was my commander-in-chief?  Let all the people know the liberal's, real liberal's want the blood of the republican elephant.

     If this was a pistol duel, in which both parties take ten paces each the republicans take 5 then turn around and shoot the other party in the back.

Todd The Science Guy

     "The female body has a way of shutting the whole thing down."

     The now infamous quote from Representative Todd Akin is one of those moments where you don't know whether or not to cry or laugh.  Now while he may not even know the definition of rape, what he doesn't know could fill several books.  

     Unfortunately if one were to write a book about what he does know it probably is filled with animated illustrations, and would certainly not include science.  And yet he is on the United States of America's House of Representative's Science Committee.

     Rape is rape and contrary to recent conservative belief there is no such thing as consensual rape.

     Why golly, do my eyes play tricks on me or is that word highlighted word force.  And if I'm not mistaken, I do believe that, that is the same Force found in the word Forcible?

There hope for America

     I here this question asked and am asked it myself sometimes.  My answer is yes.  There is hope for America and the rest of the world as well.  We have walked back from the brink of catastrophe before.  However we must not get complacent.  Napoleon Bonaparte once said "the best defence is a strong offense".

     We as a nation are at war.  Not only on terror but on human emotion.  We as a people must fight against a growing belief in the inevitability of the end.  We have not yet fallen into the abyss.  But ask yourself this.

 How much longer are you willing and how much longer will you be able to stare into it?

Citizens Divided

     It is no secret that nothing divides the nation more than a good election.  But never before has it been as bad.  I'm not talking about the level of partisanship, our economy or our environment.  I am talking about the adds.  They are on every channel every hour of every day.  Be it on TV or on the radio, they are everywhere.

     There is one good thing about all this though.  Not only does it show why Super-Pacs should be illegal, but  why campaigns should be publicly financed.  We the people have no Public Forum beyond the media, therefore every idea and agenda should be allowed to have the same amount of time opportunity to be discussed.
 
    And I do mean every idea, be it democrat or republican, liberal or conservative, communist or facism (nazisim).  I am confident that the ideology that is both morally right and realistically sound will be chosen by the American people.

     This would allow more people to speak, thus ensuring a free society.  Right now the money of the few drowns out the voices of the many.  I fear for my country, it doesn't matter how many voices speak, if only one or two can be heard, than it is bad for America, and her people.

What the Sikhs can teach us about Humanity

     I confess that like many americans I knew little about the Sikhs, their religion or their customs.  When I first saw the report on the news I was horrified and angry, I was not even a minute ago trying to answer my little brother's question:

"Why do people hate and discriminate against other people." 

     And yet at the vigil the Sikhs were not filled with hatred, anger and a lust for vengence, but compassion, and even forgivness for the shooter, who was himself killed by the police.

     Law enforcement official'spresent such as the towns cheif of police John Edwards, was amazed by their reaction:
   
     "In 28 years of law enforcement, I have seen a lot of hate. I have seen a lot of revenge. I've seen a lot of anger. What I saw, particularly from the Sikh community this week was compassion, concern, support,"

     They were all honored individually:

Satwant Kaleka, 65, is the victim most often talked about in the wider community because, the vigil was told, he "died defending the temple he built attempting to fend off a gunman who attacked worshippers on Sunday". The FBI told Kaleka's family that he tried to stop the killer with a knife. He was mortally wounded but his attempt bought time for other people to get away. HIs wife, Satpal, was hiding in a closet during the massacre. Kaleka came to the US in 1980 with only $100 but he built a successful business.

Paramjit Kaur, 41, was the only woman killed. The audience heard her described as "selfless" in putting her 18- and 20-year-old sons first, and a great value on education. She arrived with her husband, Inder, from the Punjab region eight years ago and worked at a medical instruments company.

Suveg Singh was, at 84, the oldest victim. He was a farmer who moved to the US with his wife only eight years ago in order to live with his sons. Singh was described as devout, "always happy" and a man willing to engage with anyone.

Sita Singh, 41, was a priest at the temple born in India who moved to New York and then arrived in Oak Creek earlier this year. The vigil heard that he was a "top and dedicated man who was very easy to talk to". He is survived by his wife and four children. He led morning services at about 5am.

Ranjit Singh, 49, was Sita's Singh's brother and a former priest at the temple. More recently he played drums during prayer services. He left India 15 years ago and has not seen his son, who was just seven months old back then, in that time. Singh and the boy were to be reunited during a visit to Delhi in November. His body is expected to be returned to India for burial along with his brother.

Prakash Singh, brought his wife and two children, ages 11 and 12, family to the US from India only six weeks ago after seven years apart. Singh was a priest and received his permanent resident card at the beginning of the year after living in the US for nine years.

The world lost 6 good human beings in this massacre, let us remember them and let us look to them

    


    

The 2012 Election Why I Believe Mitt Romney Would be a bad President

     We all know that anything that is carefully built and maintained, does not fail easily, and will take a long time to fail when first neglected.  Mitt Romney may have on paper lowered taxes for certain demographics but created a much higher indirect tax. 

     Mitt Romney lead Massachusetts into an ice field and like Ismay on the Titanic escaped as the ship was going down. 

     One of many situations in the post-Romney Massachusetts, is that school children now have to cross at least one dangerous road/highway to make it to school because their parents are out of work and money that they would have paid to the town for bussing is now going to a health insurance company. 

     And for those who say "When I was a kid I walked to school everyday."  The year is 2012 not 1953.  The era we know live in is frught with more cars then ever before, on roads with crumbling sidewalks if any at all.  Drivers who can't be bothered to pay attention to the road, as their facebook status is in need of updating and they havent postedsomething on twitter for the past 5 minutes.  The roads are not as safe as they once were.  And due to the culture of our day the youth is not as vigilant or even aware as they were in previous generations.
