Probably Seems


It probably seems I am political on my blog that I intend to be encourager for savings, investing, and financial freedom. The thing is our financial futures depend on the politicians at the local, state, and national levels.

While McCain is talking about a summer vacation from federal gas tax, other politicos are considering an increase in gas taxes!

While the government is bailing out (rather guaranteeing) Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, we all know the bucks stops with us - the taxpayers!

Even with the evidence of Bush's tax cuts bringing down the uncontrollable deficit, everyone who gets face time in the media is so sorry but there's no way except increasing income taxes!

Is this still a nation of the people? or just a nation for the needs of some of the people? If we always subsidize, always lower the bar, always promise, always spend....wait we've been doing that. Has it worked? Less independent people, less self-starters, less confidence, less freedoms. More needs, more weakness, more $ thrown at "it."

'til later
