Targeting the wealthy…

In an act of typical congressional ignorance, Charles Rangel, referring to the way he and the other anti American congressman wish to fund a new healthcare debacle stated; we are targeting the wealthy because it “causes the least amount of pain on the least amount of people”. That’s an interesting comment that is completely and utterly false.

Let’s take one simple example. Ted Kennedy in his bright wisdom introduced and passed a tax on luxury boats sold in America targeting the wealthy because it causes the least amount of pain on the least amount of people. The result was American boat manufacturers moved to Bermuda, Bahamas, and everywhere else but America. They even closed down operations in his own state of Massachusetts at Boston Whaler.

You see the wealthy own the businesses where we work and derive our incomes. So when you try to inflict these unfair programs on them they just pick up and leave. Like the boating industry where the wealthy people instead of buying boats made in the US flew to the offshore locations and drove their boats home to dock in their San Diego harbor slip, the same will happen here. The wealthy will find a way out of the tax or they will find a new place to live. So instead of receiving additional tax benefits from the wealthy, these politicians put the people that make the boats out of work; me and you. Needless to say the boat tax was rescinded.

There is no reason to inflict “pain” on anyone here. We need to get the government out of our lives. That is the pain we need to address. This congress and administration is a total pain in the American way of life…

Time is running out...

Only 50% of Americans can name the three branches of government. This article is why I have started this new endeavour "The Institute for Education in America". Please read this post to understand how perilous it is to leave our education up to government bureaucrats!!!

Please join me in teaching our kids the facts about the greatest country in the world!!

This is an article for our kids to ponder...

This article in the London Times is the perfect learning opportunity for our American students. It is titled "Rusty Super Power in Need of Careful Driver" and argues Obama is the first American president to manage America in decline. America in decline? No it is the American political leadership not the people that is in decline, and that is the difference.

The American people will wake up and start throwing these bums out very soon. It has become very clear that we have drifted from our founding principles and that is what our students need to learn, argue, and understand. We are not in decline, we are about to transition from this nanny state back to our individual freedom and liberty. We always do.

Teachers everywhere should be dicing this article in their classrooms with an understanding of history and American culture as their blade.

We are not arrogant, we are a free people. Just because we disagree with our government and what the rest of the world wants us to do is not a sign of arrogance but a sign of a free and great nation.

There is a great laugh in the article as well when the author states how the American dental programs are inferior to the English. Just look around; enough said...

I hope all of our teachers that value the American culture and experiment will use this opportunity given to them by this unsuspecting Englishman...

Let the teaching begin.
