Genesis

It all comes at you from every angle. Unemployment, war, health care, taxes, global warming, inflation, disease and sickness, crime, scams and schemes. Really makes you wonder about what direction we are really heading in. 

Someone once said to me that if our politicians were always screwing up, wouldn’t they screw up in our favor once in a while? Think about that for a moment. Maybe all of this nonsense does have a course. A lot of Americans try to keep up with events, between working longer hours and trying to spend time with the family, but all of this has become so confusing. This bill attached with that bill and that bill hidden in there where no one will notice. Bad bills attached to good bills. It is not suppose to be like this. As more and more Americans fall below the poverty level and more of our jobs are sent out of the U.S., our politicians squabble over nothing, get money from lobbyist and give themselves raises. They have forgotten who they serve. 

America was once great and it can be again. The American people, for the most part, are not lazy and stupid. We just let things slip away from us and now that times have gotten tough we have resorted to blaming each other. A divided nation is a conquered nation. The main two problems with this country are, simply put, too many of our jobs and too much of our money are leaving this country and too many people are trying to live off of the working class. 

Every time we turn around we are looking at rising taxes or a new tax. Taxes are not the answer. As more people become unemployed or work for less money the amount of tax revenue will decline. The problem is, is that our politicians will not have that so then the tax burden on the working class will become greater. The only thing that will repair the economy is to put more money in the American populations hands and taxes do the direct opposite. Let’s look at taxes. First of all, a large percent of taxes are spent on collecting taxes. The more you tax the more is spent on collecting these taxes. The other thing is that another large hunk of our taxes are literally given away to other countries. Yes, given. America is in a crisis and we are giving our money away. Wouldn’t it be nice if every time you didn’t live within your means you just went into work and asked for more money? It wouldn’t happen, would it? 

We have so many problems that we face in this country and the American people are becoming so aggravated. The backbone is breaking. All you hear is people saying “why don’t we do this” or “why don’t we do that?” Most of the time, the solutions are rather simple. I have always said that the problems a nation faces are never caused by the working class. THEY’RE TOO BUSY WORKING!

Work, work, work. It seems that it is all we do now. If we are the lucky ones. Two income families, pensions, 401k plans and health insurance disappearing. Strangers raising our children while both parents work. Can a retiree really live on social security? Can we really compete in a global market? To do so then we would have to start working when we are twelve and be content on living with most of our relatives in a shack. The American dollar is not respected like it use to be and we are literally owned by other countries. 

We are looking at very trying times and without awareness I believe the American people will be caught in a financial strangle hold while more and more foreign investors gobble up what so many Americans have died to protect. It has to make you angry. 

It all has to come back home, the jobs, the money, the dignity and the pride. America was once a great nation and it can be again. I dedicate this site to that notion and hope to be in contact, through this site, with others that just want to be proud to be American. If we are arrogant, as our president said we are, remember that for so long and even to this day, many countries rest in the safety of our arms. 

 Once upon a time this was a great, strong nation. The American dollar was strong and used to back other nations currency. We were respected for our power and envied for our freedoms by most nations. Now we are a nation of unemployment and debt. we have become The United States of Chinamerica.  It is time to start reading labels and to make an effort to buy American made and to support companies that keep their jobs here and to expose the traitors that have sent their manufacturing overseas. The only way to rebuild America is SIMPLE. Our money has to stay here.  Simply Put.

Stay strong and stay proud, America.
