I was reading some of the blog an I came across one of them that I thought was interesting.

from Stclark

“Here’s the cold hard TRUTH from a FORMER staunch Republican and I know there’s a bunch of you out there who don’t want to hear this, but if you really care about saving your party, you might want to pay attention.

I quit the Republican party as soon as McCain and the Republicans in congress kicked the taxpayers to the curb and voted for that massive 700 billion dollar bail out bill. I remain a strong CONSERVATIVE, but the Republican party has abandoned millions of people just like me and we simply returned the favor on election day.

The NEO CONES like Bush, Chaney, Hannity and Limbaugh have hijacked the Republican party and transformed it into a big spending, war making, Constitution ignoring, government bailout loving, fear mongering party with nothing left to offer voters except constant fear of terrorism, massive debt, dead and maimed soldiers, declining standards of living and world wide disrespect & hatred.

The only reasons given for people to vote for these Republicans (pretending to be “conservatives”) is that pro abortion Democrats will tax the rich and should you decide to leave your home to vote for anyone who’s not a Republican, the terrorist hiding in your yard will likely get you when you return. Sorry, but that’s not enough to secure my vote.

The Republicans have abandoned so many conservative principles, that not only are they the minority party, they’ve now been voted into total irrelevance. Whats left of their party will likely take years, if not decades to rebuild and unless Democrats do something major stupid, they’ll likely be in power for a very long time.

If you really want to save the Republican party, run on a platform of restoring the US Constitutional rights removed by George Bush. Make sure you stand for enforcing the Bill of Rights for EVERY US CITIZEN. Run on slashing wasteful government programs, securing our borders and enforcing our laws. Run on reducing the size of government and really do it. Punish and remove corruption from the government, regardless of where it’s found. Run on ending government bailouts and let markets freely function so investors can have some sense of how the market should react based on leading economic indicators, instead of random government intervention with phony money. Run based on having a strong military that’s seldom used, and then only to defend this nation, not to start preemptive wars against nations who haven’t even attacked us…. in short, obey the US Constitution you’ve been sworn to uphold! I think you get the idea.

In conclusion, Ron Paul is one of the very few remaining bright spots still left in the Republican Party and unless major changes are made quickly, he should probably quit and join the Constitution Party, like many former Republicans, myself included, have already done. Sorry for going on soooo LONG guys, please forgive….”

As a change in the nation with the First Black President for the United States,  I have thoughts of my future and my family. I am quite happy that this has happened since this will show that my kids have many opportunities for the future.

I have two jobs with one with my own business. 

As a worker in the FAA but funding from the Defense Industry,    the thoughts I have with my former coworkers who will be hit with a large funding cut.   The latest info is that the DOD is estimating 25% cut.   I suspect a larger amount and the amount will be closer  to 50%.   The base will remain but the a bunch will be out of work.  With President Obama plan to remove our troops in Iraq in 16 months, They may arrive with a place with no jobs available.   I hope that the troops who come back will not feel pain of feeling being left out.   The largest bank is citibank and a small percentage of our troops will elect to rob the biggest bank community.

The tax plan for both was an affected $150k salaried but I believe these will be deeper.   I feel that my current 20% tax rate will increase to the 28% or the higher 36% although he says that the $150k is the cutoff.    

Accountants will have to get their stuff together because many small business will  be taxed at a higher rate.    Big business and higher incomed individuals have always found ways to  reduce their tax and will be less affected than what most of us think.

 I hope that my kids will get a funding for college but I think this will come through the tax increase from above.

I prefer socialized medicine since the cost of our medicine has gotten increasably high.   But the result will be from the expense of all workers in the medical community. Which will affect my family who work in the community. 

As of today, I am quite uncertain of my future and job prospect since I am a contractor.
