Republican or Democrat makes no difference

These days its the usual "Taste great, Less filling" when it comes to politics. The Government has us on one side of the bench or the other. This keeps us pointing the finger at each other and away from the real source of the problem.  The government as a whole is the real issue here. No matter who is elected as the official puppet, our Taxes will increase.

One of the biggest things to think about is how the younger generation is influenced. They look at their first pay check and see 33% goes to taxes not realizing that less than 100 years ago there was no tax and before their own children begin to work they will be paying much, much more in one way or another. If you take all the taxes on everything you do, you are already paying out more than 50% in taxes. Until these new workers have paid taxes for about 10 years, they tend to not realize just how much they are giving to the government to decide what to do with there own money.

Maybe its time we should take a look from an outside perspective? Capitalism and Freedom might be what we think we still have.  Let me leave you with this.

People today think they are free as long as they can still choose the color of car they drive to work.....

Obama vs. Romney

We all have are opinion of who should be the next President of the United States of America. So lets set those aside and think for a moment about what major concerns we should be thinking about when it comes to an election. Does my vote really count?  In the last election there was proof that Votes for Obama were indeed fabricated electronically but no re-vote?  Even if the majority of people vote for one side or the other they can still loose.... Should the president elect really need to line up a legal team to dispute the election?   Hold onto your seats cause this one is gonna get sticky.

Prediction. Romney wins. Obama challenges.

Under the U.S. tax code the non-profit arm of American Crossroads, known as Crossroads GPS, can raise and spend unlimited funds as a "social welfare" organization without disclosing its donors, as long as it advocates for positions on issues and does not directly support a candidate.

So this means the campaign money can come from any country or any person.  Meaning any one in the world with a pocket full of cash can influence our entire Nation. Just a more civil form of "King of the Jungle" I suppose.

Saturn Ion under U.S. safety review for steering flaw

WASHINGTON (Bloomberg) -- General Motors Co.'s Saturn Ion is being investigated by U.S. auto-safety regulators following at least 633 complaints about sudden loss of power steering.

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating about 384,000 Ions from model years 2004 to 2007, after reports of crashes involving injuries, the agency said today on its website.

The agency said it received four reports of crashes involving the defect, one of which resulted in an injury. GM has received seven reports of crashes, involving two injuries, according to the agency, which cited possible overlap between the numbers reported by the regulator and the manufacturer.

GM discontinued the Saturn brand after filing for bankruptcy last year.

“Customers who have those vehicles have been notified,” said Alan Adler, a spokesman for GM. “And if they have loss of power-steering assist, they can go to dealers and have that repaired.”

NHTSA spokeswoman Karen Aldana declined to comment beyond the agency's statement posted on its website.

GM pays U.S. Treasury $2.1 billion for preferred shares

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- General Motors Co. has completed the buyback of the government's holdings of GM preferred stock issued in the automaker's bailout for $2.1 billion, the U.S. Treasury Department said today.
The repurchase brings GM's total repayments to U.S. taxpayers to $23.1 billion, including $13.5 billion received from the automaker's initial public offering last month, the Treasury

Bill Clinton the Puppets Hand?

Bill Clinton tosses Obama aside and runs the show himself. Obama introduced Clinton lightly as "the other guy" and recalled how Clinton has overseen heady economic times. Obama warned that he wouldn't be staying long — another White House Christmas party was waiting, as was his wife, Michelle.

I guess the Party was more important to Obama than the public's economy.

Obama doesn't deliver on his promise.

The deal Obama crafted with Senate Republican leaders would prevent the scheduled Dec. 31 expiration of all the Bush administration's tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003, even though Obama had often promised to end the cuts for the highest earners.
