My Economic recovery plan

Quite simply, my economic recovery plan; is 1. ignore the news 2. not listen to talk radio anymore 3. forget the governments problems 4. worry about me and my family only.
The news just fills you with doom and gloom. The whole damn world is falling apart according to ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox. Talk radio is just making me more cynical than I already am, when it comes to the government. The government is more of an obstacle to me than a help. The government creates problems then looks to the people to help them fix it, mostly in the form of more taxes.
I've created my own economic recovery plan. I work 12 hours a day, or more, six days a week and sometimes more. I take care of my family, no matter what it takes. I am nearly fifty years old, and if I can work like this, you can.
What's your excuse for your situation. To educated to work a minimal job? To busy job hunting to actually work? So your above working at a convenience store or McDonald's.
Well while your loosing your house, your car and your mind, I'm saving for a vacation. I will do anything to keep my family in our house, no our home, I'm not above working as hard as I have to.
Are YOU?

It's Sunday and It's Raining

It's Sunday and it's raining outside. There is more paperwork on my desk than I want to deal with, I guess I have too. The tax man said he want's his paper work by April 15, so I am forced to do something I really don't feel like doing. My CPA has finished my LLC tax forms, now I will do the Sole Proprietor part to go to a different CPA. I will pay another $300.00 to have that finished and put in book form for the IRS. Gee, I know there is a simpler way to do this. How about the fair tax? I am sick and tire of spending endless hours on tax reports, that we have to do, weather we want to or not.
Every time they change the tax code, weather to reduce taxes on people who already don't pay taxes, or increase them on who that do, that just means more time spent on revising my tax strategies. I don't get paid to do all this, it cost more money to have them done, and I usually end up owning a little more every year to the government.
I've have about had it with whole situation. We are taxed to death, and after we die, we are taxed again.
Maybe, this shouldn't be on my blog, it should be on a vent somewhere, but what the hell, no one reads this anyway.

Job Hunting

Are you searching for a job? So, you want to go to work, provide an income and try to pay your bills. There are about 4 million people doing the same thing. What makes you different? Answer this question and you will find a job.If you can define yourself above someone else, the more likely you are to find employment. I you feel you are just part of the crowd you probably are.

Working for yourself

I haven't worked for a company in over 15yrs, and I guess I never will again. I look at the unemployment numbers and really feel for people. I see pictures of people that look like zombies in the unemployment lines. They have never had to fend for themselves, now they are on the streets with no real hope to replace the income that they lost. They are college graduates that invested time and money to find their corporate job, being told all the way along that was what they were suppose to do. Now, with job prospects being low, is it time for a lot of these people to try and find a new purpose in life. Working for yourself has never been easy, but sitting at home feeling sorry for yourself and looking to the government for answers isn't the solution. The solution is in yourself, find yourself and you will find a way.

RE Cochran

Taxes and everything I hate about it

I don't mind paying my so called, fair share, but this is stupid. It takes over 40hrs of work, which I don't get paid for. Two business partners, one CPA and tons of paperwork to comply with nonsense. And this is just for one of the companies that I own or in partnership with. Why can't we have a Fair and Just tax system, that everyone could understand. Support the Fair Tax at fairtax.org and get rid of all these headaches.

Obama and the following crowd

Today it seems that now, more than ever, people are willing to follow words more than action. The actions of the democratic congress and Obama are more revealing than words he speaks. My hardcore democratic relatives, believe every word out of Obama's mouth. They think that the evil rich have gotten away with not paying taxes, that George Bush is to blame for everything. They don't understand that the evil rich are mostly small business and the people that they work for. The old saying goes, try to job from a poor person and see how that works out for you.
They never even realize that the last two years of Bush, that the democrats controlled congress. They have no idea that the housing bust was part and parcel to the democrats push to empower previously unqualified home buyers to qualify for a loan. Freddie and Fanny was run by democrat cronies and regulations fought off by Barney Frank and Cris Dodd.
I tried to talk to them about it, and I might as well been talking to my pet poodle. They either didn't believe me, or made every excuse in the world why it was George Bush to blame. I even had one tell me that he believed that the 9-11 attack was done just to take us to war. I gave up at that point. Some people will only believe what they want to, no matter what facts stand in their way.
I guess that just the way it is. I wrote a short poem to express that. If you want to read it, you can find it at the following link.

your own worst enemy

Do you keep up with politics? Are you blaming the government for your place in life? Are you your own worst enemy? Have you ever pondered that question? Remarkably many people don't. There are times for self examination and self determination.

I would like to hear your thoughts on this. Am I way off base? Or do you know someone like this?
Funny how things tend to be the same all over the world. I think it would be wise to let others to explore this subject, no matter how painful.
