President Obama did us wrong.
He gave a legal pass to American torturers.
They should have been prosecuted and sent to jail.
Strike one for Obama,
Strike two will be if he doesn't get health care reform.
Strike three will be if he doesn't get taxes for the supper
wealthy right and remove tax incentive to put jobs in other countries.

It's getting harder to support him.

AMERICA
 !


Maybe the government should stop giving tax
incentives to CEO that export American jobs.
Maybe there should be some tax incentives
to stop the export of American jobs.
If greed is the only thing that corprate America
uses as an incentive we should exploit it.
Just tax away the profits made from foriegn
workers and see how fast things will change.

Government Plan to push the economy could be structured to help most of America with a very simply plan.

This can help GM, Chrysler & Ford

 

The government could introduce a simple plan that would start the country back to economic growth and lower our dependence on foreign oil.  How?

Give a BIG tax credit to everyone who turns in a vehicle that gets less than 30 mpg. The more inefficient the vehicle is the bigger the tax credit. SUVs and Hummers get the most.

The tax credit goes towards buying an American made car from GM, Ford or Chrysler. The conditions are the car must get more than 30 mpg! The loan will be interest free and shouldn't be more that $10 thousand that is it.

If the car companies want to make cars the incentive for them is to make fuel efficient cars or they don't get the money that the government is offering.

What do we get?
1 New fuel efficient car.
2 Lessen our dependence on foreign oil
3 American car companies get back to work.
4 No hand outs to over paid unaware CEOs

Tomato Garden

An old gentleman lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

 

Dear Vincent,

I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.

Love, Papa

 

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Pop,

Don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried. Love, Vinnie

 

At 4 am the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

 

Dear Pop,

Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.

Love you, Vinnie
