Shalom, terry.
Retrobyter... In the last survey I examned it claimed that 20% of the people in this country work FOR the government in some aspect or another. Government work has much better job security, better pay, better benefits and more.... so 4 people in the private sector wih less beneifts, less pay, less job security and more..i mean less... must sustain 2 person with more of what they get. WE need allot less government but Republicans flaunt less government is needed but when it come to it... they lie. Who is the firsy to be laid off when it comes to down-sizing government? Of course, policemen, firemen, and teachers and that has never been the way to reduce government. Republicans KNOW reducing policemen, firemen and teachers will only require re-hiring them,. this is a mere scam tactic.
We need less tax collectors and less tax. Make the drivers license also be the fishing license and let that license apply to all 50 states. Now imagine the amount of people that can e put to work in the private sector and be tax payers instead of tax collectors.
Lets make government employess work 30 years instead of 20. Lets reduce their income to the poverty status most other Americans enjoy. Let us condense the government in the areas that affect the government only. This can be easily done by condensing taxes. Taking away the right of a citizen to own his property outright and infecting families with inheritance taxes stops dynastys that could have ensured families working together could achieve financial independance and untiy as well. Because of these tax burdens the family is not willing to save. Condensing the taxes and ensuring family wealth stays in the family could have done so much more in making USA an economically stronger country, alas..that time is past not.

In most cases and nearly all my life, I find resolve, but in this time... I draw a blank. No vote does nothing and voting for a muslim or a mormon is not good. There is one thing. Mormons do not hold the world religious presence that muslims do, but that is of little significance for a perverse president is still a preverse president.
It has been said if Obama is relected we will have 4 more years of this evil, but I am concerned that it will not work that way. I do not see him re-elected then fading away after just another 4 years. The inclusion of [background=rgb(255, 255, 255)]Dhimmitude[/background] into the health care plan got taken out of page 107. One really needs to first realize if that word WAS in the health care plan or if that was a stragetic maneuver by the Republican party. Also...The inclusion of a chip is in the ObamaCare plan and it is enough to require his dis-missal, but Romney as president must be willing to take it out of the health care plan.
We really need a president willing to stop ANY mark for currency and make this protection against any mark as part of the USA Constitution. Strange - why a Christian Nation such as this once was would not have already protected its people this was already. In the very early years, just after WWI the League of Nations was formed... USA considered this untiy and did not join (as so I found in.... well superficial research) because it was considered a one world government and USA recognized this as a Biblically evil empire. Then of course, Hitler raised his head and USA saw that as worse, and the Untied Nations was formed and USA had no problems joining.
Obama was said to have had the word [background=rgb(255, 255, 255)]Dhimmitude[/background] taken out of the ObamaCare Plan, but I ask this, was that a political maneuver because of the up-coming election? So, if Obama is re-elected and with no where to go after that term ends... could he re-introduce the use of this wor back into the ObamaCare Plan ...and... add it else where against the wishes of the Senate and Congress? scarry.
Humor....
Picture a large turtle set atop a wooden post unable to get down....
While attending to a cut on the hand of a 75 year old farmer, whose hand was caught in the squeeze gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.
Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his role as our president.
The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a "Post Turtle''.
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him, what a 'post turtle' was.
The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'.
The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he's elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just wonder what kind of dummy put him up there to begin with."
You're right. The problem with MOST occupations is that they redistribute the wealth instead of actually creating wealth. With the few exceptions of farming, ranching, and true creativity, most occupations take the wealth others make and repackage it for distribution to others (taking out their shares, of course). As Paul well put it,...
1 Corinthians 3:7
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
KJV
The only occupations that see TRUE growth are farming and ranching, in particular. When one can take two farm animals (different genders, of course) and through God's blessing, produce a dozen more animals, THAT'S growth! When one can take a germinated seed and plant it in the ground and through God's blessing produce HUNDREDS of more seeds from the one seed, THAT'S growth! When God can bless a fertile mind like that of Thomas Edison or George Washington Carver and produce HUNDREDS of new inventions and products that haven't before been realized, THAT'S growth! THIS is the kind of growth that America has been famous for, and it is THIS ingenuity that we are praying God would bless us with again and re-grow our nation's prosperity!
But, our nation's wealth - our nation's growth - is NOT going to be in the jobs that take one person's money and give it to another person! Even in good charities that SOUND noble and selfless, you've gotta HAVE something first before you can GIVE IT AWAY! That's just common sense ... a commodity of which our nation is sadly lacking.
Oh, and by the way, it's WRONG to attempt to legislate morality! While it is right to give to the poor if you have an abundance, it is WRONG to force someone else to give or to attempt to TAKE their money for that purpose! That's called "STEALING!" And, THAT was condemned in the Scriptures:
Exodus 20:15
15 Thou shalt not steal.
KJV
Matthew 19:16-19
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
KJV
Romans 13:8-10
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
KJV
You can't show love to one person in giving charity by stealing someone else's money to pay for it! That only serves to show that you don't love the person from whom you stole! God will not bless that two-faced "charity!"
You can't give poor people food stamps, by stealing ("taxing") the wealthy person's money to pay for it! You have contradicted your "love" to the poor people by your "hatred" to the wealthy!
Y'know, there's a political ad that has been shown over and over for Obama (with his stamp of approval), that comments on the fact that Romney made $20M in 1 year and only paid 14% in taxes, and the host of 60 minutes asked, "Do you think that's fair?"
Well, first of all, 14% of $20M is $2,800,000 in taxes! That's more money than I will see in 80 years!
Second, the issue is NOT about "fairness!" Our concern should not be in fairness, that "all things are equal," but in JUSTICE, that is, that the man or woman who works harder (or smarter) SHOULD earn more, allowing him or her to be able to pay more taxes like the wealthy do! How many times have you heard the complaint that a pay increase put a person into a higher tax bracket? I've heard it MANY times! That's not necessarily a bad thing; it's a GOOD thing! And, he or she is not "out that money"; he or she will receive that money back in tax refunds, anyway. What are "tax refunds" if not a "loophole" to avoid paying too much in taxes?
If a person is interested in "fairness," they should move to a country that has a socialist government.
One last question: Has anyone heard how much Obama made last year (or the last year before he became President) and how much HE paid in taxes? How come no one ever asks HIM?
