Candidates Releasing Tax Information - RANT!!!!!!! Among other things!!!!
So yesterday I was reading an article on foxnews.com. It stated that the Obama camp wanted Mitt Romney to release 5 years of tax returns. Today Romney refused to. Good for him. His taxes are his business. Who cares if he only pays 1%, it's still something. 50% of the people that live in this country don't pay taxes at all. 1% of $21,000,000 is still $210,000. There are bigger issues in the election than Mitt Romney's tax returns.
The issues that are important to me are as follows:
Obamacare - Needs to be repealed. This just has BAD written all over it. The only thing I like about it is the law about pre-existing conditions. Other than that it IS a tax on the rest of us. Beside, Obama came up with this program so that 30 million Americans can have health care. Really??? That's only 10% of the country. What about the other 90%. Why should 90% of the country have to provide something for the other 10%. I understand that people fall on hard times, but it is NOT the governments job to support you. The only things that can help you get back on your feet is God and yourself. Make your problems yours, not someone else's. Example: Lady in Tampa, FL; Angel Adams has 15 kids. 12 of which live with her. She said, and I quote " Someone needs to pay for my kids and pay me because the system failed me." If you don't believe me watch the video on YouTube. Search for "someone needs to pay for my kids". It should be the first option.
Immigration - The DREAM act. What a joke. If you are here illegally you must go through the proper channels to become a citizen. If not, GET OUT!!!!! Also, we speak English here. Learn it or leave. It angers me when I drive home and see a sign totally in another language without translation. If I can't read the sign or billboard in my own country it should be taken down.
Voter I.D. Laws - Minor victory in Pennsylvania this week where the voter I.D. law was upheld by a Commonwealth Court Judge. Props to the judge who saw it as what it was. Protecting the system against voter fraud and not trying to stop people from voting. U.S. Citizens - 1, Eric Holder and the DOJ - 0. But we still need to here verdicts in Texas, Arizona, New York, and Virginia. Let’s hope all those are upheld. I was watching Hannity last night and they were talking about this very subject. He had a women on that said, :This fight isn't over. We need to stop these types of laws so people can vote." She also said that the people this law affects can't always show an I.D. or get to the polling places. HELLO, that is what absentee ballots are for. Anyone can get them.
Balanced Budget Plan - Thanks to Mr. Harry Reid we haven't had a balanced budget plan in Congress since 2008. 2008 really??? What in the world have you been doing? Oh yeah I know........NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!! Mr. Reid, how you won your election in 2010 is beyond me. I went to bed and you were down by a lot. I wake up and you win by a lot. Sounds kind of fishy to me. Don't even get me started on Pelosi. Someone needs to get this spending under control. This is outrageous. We are borrowing .33 cents of every dollar we spend from China. You know I laughed a little when I saw joke on Facebook about our Olympians winning gold medals and they we should just hand them over to China. Now that I'm thinking about that is not right. Those people earned those. This country is just so messed up.

WAKE UP DETROIT!!!!!!
Yet another venting alert!!!! BEWARE!!!!
Good morning Detroit! Let me start out by saying, Nice Job! Nice job at killing an entire city. Back in the 60's you had over 1,000,000 people in the city. Now you have less than 700,000. People have been leaving the city in droves since the early 1990's. With all the corruption in the city and in Wayne county do you really think you can save your city without outside help. To put it bluntly, when you fail, not if, but when you fail it will fall on the rest of the state to bail out the city. NEWS FLASH - Detroit's problems are Detroit's problems, not the rest of the state's.
The most recent story in the news is about the Detroit Water Department. Apparently an independent firm came to evaluate you. You currently have 1,982 employees in 275 different departments. This investigation firm says you can function with 375 employee in 33 departments saving $140 million dollars annually. AND YOU ARE RAISING WATER RATES???????? WHAT????? Trim some of the fat and become operationally functional and self supportive. You have 6 times the employees you need to operate. This is just one more reason that unions should go. Unions are worthless. They had their time and place and are now worthless. Unions were setup to help the workers get equal pay, better working conditions and other things. There is no need for unions. They just enable lazy people and their lazy habits. Yup, I said it!!!! I am by no means calling everyone in a union lazy.
Another story in the news is Belle Isle. Gov. Snyder wants to lease, key word is "lease", it from Detroit for 99 years. Turn it into a state park and charge people to go there. The fees would go towards the maintenance and security of the island. Leasing Belle Isle from Detroit would benefit everyone. Detroit won't lose one of their "jewels", the state would gain a state park for everyone to enjoy, and Detroit would make some annual cash on the lease. It's a win/win right? WRONG!!!! Hands off our island is in protest because they think whitey is taking one of Detroit's jewels. WHAT!!!! Are you kidding me???? The grass is 4 feet tall, the bathrooms are trashed, the toilets don't work, the zoo is closed, the aquarium is closed, that flower house thingy is closed and there is trash everywhere. That's a jewel????? It was, but it certainly isn't anymore. GIVE IT UP ALREADY!!!!!!!
I remember going there as a kid on field trips for school. You could also count on the Grand Prix being there every year. Why would someone like Roger Penske want to bring a high profile race to Detroit if the island is a mess. If Detroiters are so proud of their city, do something about it. I feel really bad for Mayor Bing. City Council needs to go and get real jobs. Charles Puge, you're the biggest joke of them all.
Don't even get me started on the Wayne County Commissioner.

Chick-fil-A Rant!!!!
Venting Alert!!!!!
Chick-fil-A, what an establishment they are. Props to them for standing up for their morals and values and saying that they believe a marriage should be between one man and one woman. As I was reading some articles online I was seeing the backlash from that statement. What happened to our right to freedom of speech? Seriously? How is it that the people or groups that speak on behalf of gays everywhere can say anything they want to and when someone stands up for something they believe in they get backlash for it. The mayors of Chicago and Boston are the bigots here for refusing Chick-fil-A from opening any new businesses. That is unconstitutional and un-American. How can a mayor stop a business from opening new locations within city limits? That is outrageous. And all these people say they are anti-gay and refusing service to people. They aren't doing that. They don't refuse anyone. They simply stated their moral believe in what marriage should be. THAT'S IT!!!
I was talking to my beautiful wife this morning. She went to Toledo yesterday to support Chick-fil-A. She posted on Facebook a photo of her waiting in line to get food with our two beautiful daughters. Some of the comments on the photo were just plain ignorant. How can you be a Christian and support gay marriage? It goes against everything the bible stands for. Yes God hates the sin and loves the sinner, and we should do the same. I believe in equality, but do not support the lifestyle. Actually is disgusts me to my core. Do I hate the person I do not agree with?. No, it's their choice to live whatever lifestyle they want. God will judge them in the end. The only thing I can do is love them and lead by example and pray for them to see Him as their savior and change their ways. I'm not forcing my beliefs or religion on them, but they sure are shoving their lifestyle in my face and I do not like it. The people that live this lifestyle is only 5% of the American population, but they seem to have the loudest voice. It is time for our to be heard as well. We need to stand up for what we believe in America against this moral destruction.
Now my beautiful wife is telling me she is reading that the gay community is forming their own protest at Chick-fil-A tomorrow. They plan on going into the restaurants, not buy anything, but stand there and kiss in front of everyone hoping to drive away business. WHAT!!!!! You have to be kidding me. That is absolutely stupid. CHICK-FIL-A IS NOT REFUSING YOUR BUSINESS AT ALL!!!!! They are stating where they stand. Why do people feel the need to do this? It is a waste of time for everyone. Gay right are not being challenged here. Nothing is being challenged. Chick-fil-A is not the government. They can't and aren't infringing on any right you think you have. They are just trying to make a buck by selling chicken.
To Chick-fil-a - Please consider opening a business in the downriver Detroit area. I know there are a lot of people that would support your business here.
I just don't know what else to say about this. I am just so angered by all of this. I'm ready to fight for what I believe in. BRING IT ON!!!!!
