We need to get back to the old fashioned way of doing things.  Be self sufficient, if you can not support yourself, ask a neighbor for food/clothing then go to work.  The entitlements are outrageous and must come to a stop but with the Obama Admin. this is exactly what he is trying to do, get everyone dependent on the government which is so wrong!!!!  We need to be self sufficient not self DEpendent.  When you are turning a country from capitalism to socialism/marxism the people must be dependent on government, it's the only way they survive. The pensions are a HUGE problem in this country in every state. People that worked for 20 years are now drawing more than they made when they were working and they only contributed 3% of their earnings to draw their pensions now.  This must be cut by 40. 60. 80% as well.  We should not be paying income tax at all, it's not in the Constitution and our founders saw that the government would do anything to gain money.  We pay way too much to foreign countries, this needs to stop period.  We start wars which only gain a ton of income for the Wall St. robbers in interest and our government can not have us in less than two wars simultaneously. We need to put into place the 10th Amendment, get no funds from the Federal government and provide for ourselves as a state and as a person.  This will take time but it needs to be done as quickly as possible. You go to work and you save money for when you want to retire not when the government tell you to retire, unconstitutional as well.  We need to make sure the days of being a nanny nation are done, finished forever and it can't happen quickly enough. Back to growing our own food, making our own clothing, building our own homes. In the Islands there is no such word as "mortgage" it simply does not exist. People build as much as their home as their paychecks allow in and 2-4 years the home is done and paid for; no mortgage. And yes God is watching all this and our time is coming, more likely sooner than later.

Roma and Tom, Billie is being sued by investors in her Big Voices Media for fraud. Their accusation is that she has fundamentally misrepresented the means in which they would realize a return on their investment and dilluted its value by taking on additional investors without approval from the original investors.
As to whom I support on elections here is how that boils down. Nobody is entitled to expect my support bcause of the party they are affiliated with at the time. Conservatives who seek to plunder and exploit share no commonality with me. The things that matter to me, energy, education, enviroment, economic policy, should all be approached from the long term perspective. We get caught up in the day to day stuff. Can we not imagine this nation 200 years from now? Do we have to keep living as though the second coming of Christ is next week? What will they say about this time a hundred years from now? We were the first generation that sold out the following generations. As a country we spend 2.7 times the money on people after 65 until their death as we do on our citizens from birth to the age of 18. In 20 years it will be a ratio of 7:1. We pushed 30 trillion in debt onto the young this past year. College grads have an average of 25000 in student debt when they graduate, this year it will pass 1 trillion dollars.
Bottom line we have stunk it up for the last thirty years and we owe the future better than we are giving. After WWII we lived it up and now is the time for Boomers to pay it forward.
My generation has a very small window of opportunity, because it relies on everyone contributing. That is what the Tea Party should be about, asking fellow Americans to participate, not in throwing rocks but in building up. Success charges heavy dues, failure is cheap.

Mike, two words. Crony Capitalism.

Roma and Tom, please enlighten me as to how a NGO, United Nations can have members that are Supreme Court Justices?  I think Ruth ought to take a walk on the wild side and recuse herself permanently from her life long chair. I am not sure at this stage if we can expose those in DC, however, I feel it absolutely imperative that we expose those in Tallahassee. They either take an Oath to the people ask or they take an oath to line their pockets with lobbying money.  It can't be both, so they are going to have to be forced to choose. No, if's an's or but's, choose one and choose it now. It you can't uphold your oath to the people of Florida, you either belong in jail or at home.

Socialist? Ha! When I call for the end to Medicare not one person here sided with me, not one. Tom and Roma I love you guys but please stop calling me names. We live in a country that has socialism and capitalism all rolled into one. I do not feel fear nor am I a victim . Sorry. But who here is going to mention the 800pound gorilla in the room? Billie seems to be in hot water, does anyone here know the lowdown.

Holly, since we're on the AIF gig, check out board member Chris Verlander who just bought his baby boy, Alan a nice job with the city of Jacksonville...promoting sports???  Almost $180,000 for doing what?  American Heritage Life and Winn Dixie ran a lot of stuff in Jacksonville for a long time.  (Including big donations to J.U. where little Alan was hired a few years ago as athletic director.)  Every generation becomes a little fatter and dumber than the patriarchs.

Roma and Tom,

You are so correct that everyone we put in is now a part of the elite group and just as out of control as before we began.  Time to sever all the money coming into the Capitols, hence, the people that are supposed to represent us!!!!! That is why now I am trying to track all the lobbyists, their NGO's and who the lobbyists are tied to. Expose that money trail and the dominoes will start falling down.  Many will end up in jail since it's illegal to take funds for service, so that will end many careers.  I just don't want to be a part of who has to pay for their stay.  Most are attorneys, so if they go to jail their careers are done and they know it. We've tried many tactics and they are still signing crap against the will of the people which means they are not representing us.  Time for a new direction.

Roma and Tom, wow I was wondering what was wrong with Amanda but you answered that, thank you.

The UNGC's link is 5 down and begins with: AIF'S TOP LOBBYISTS:

Holly, did you not know lobbyists and pols hung out together. Let me ask you this, do you understand that the video about HSR is no longer applicable. That money is long gone to California where they are building today as we speak. No worries, it will not be spent here. Because we were lied to by our governor as to the costs and risks. During the Great Depression this country though broke built the Hoover and Grand Coulee dams out west. The Tennessee-Tombigbee water ways that electrified great swaths of this nation. Some say that is was socialism, I think it was money well spent.
