Does the city also intend to indemnify these business from the possibility loss to by theft and crime that may result? Pass laws to assist convicted felons with job placement (proper vetting and responsible placement) but do not give tax breaks for just simply hiring them. I see the potential for serious problems down the road.
Snail mail will now reach an all time slow speed. Cutting service and increasing prices are a certain prescription for failure. Does this move increase efficiency? Not likely as they say it will slow down delivery times. The larger trouble is that this organization has not figured out how to compete in thoday’s market. This also exposes just why government should never be involved in business.
Leon Cooperman, chairman of Omega Advisors, explains open letter that explains the need for President Obama to stop tearing the country apart through class warfare.
Kovacs Perspective: It’s Up To You by STEVE KOVACS
The economy is showings small signs that it still has a pulse. Many companies are reporting a significant increase in profits but are not yet willing to fully ramp up the hiring of new employees. They are still in a waiting pattern caused by the uncertainty of what damage the government might do next. Business leaders are looking for a sign of hope that would signal saftey to expand and hire. President Obama doesn’t look to be the leader who will send that signal. His pro-government, anit-business policies are what is creating the atmosphere of uncertainty. It is up to you to choose a new president who will send the signal that it is once again safe to return to prosperity.

Ringside Politics: The Occupy Wall Street protestors are taxing community resources by JEFF CROUERE
A report by the Associated Press states that the Occupy Wall Street protests have cost taxpayers at least $13 MILLION dollars due to the need for increased police and emergency services. This doesn’t include the damage to public property or the loss of revenue by small businesses near the protest sites. These people are wasting our public resources while demanding to be supported. They are complaining about corporate greed while demanding to be provided with free health care. What selfishness! American is growing tired of these snivelling whiners. They either need to come up with viable solutions to the problems they claim are there or go away. We can no longer afford to allow them to simply get a free ride on our tax dollars.
Kovacs Perspective: The Economic Train to Freedom and Prosperity by STEVE KOVACS
How do you revive a nations failing economy while paying down its massive debt at the same time? Set up a business friendly environment that strongly encourages manufacturing, innovation and exporting while rewarding those whose initiative was taken to make it happen. Combine that with REASONABLE government spending and you will see the economy roar down the tracks like a steam engine locomotive! You cannot simply tax the people (rich or poor) and spend at will to restore things to a state of prosperity. Complaining about the large corporations while clamoring for more hand-outs will only create more chaos and failure. We need to get our economy producing and selling American made products agan. With the increase of productivity combined with the increased sales and exports, our economy will once again roar. The affect this will have on government is INCREASED revenue without having to raise taxes. Combined with fiscally responsible spending, our debt can be paid off rapidly. The only way this will ever happen is if we elect officials that share this vision AND are willing to make it happen. It is not too late for America…yet.
You are free to make personal choices in America…But!
The way this socialist crud works these days, when you make bad choices we all have to pay for your sins.
If you choose to live a sedentary life, with no exercise, poor eating habits and food choices; if you abuse substances like tobacco, alcohol, drugs, engage in dangerous or high risk behaviors, your actions have consequences for others. Unbridled selfish behavior runs up the cost of insurances, crowds medical care providers unnecessarily, while stressing government services and society in many ways. You might feel you have a “right” to do it “if it feels good”, but if you feel that way, you fail to recognize how your choices hurt innocent bystanders.
Do you want to live an immoral or unhealthy lifestyle? Fine, but if you hurt any innocents you should be made to be accountable and pay for the damages or even face criminal charges if appropriate. My primary request is that people be required to suffer the consequences of their “personal choices”, pay their own costs and not ask the “Police State” to use force to shake down fellow Americans, neighbors and family to subsidize selfishness and immorality.
While it may be true that you have a “right” to make the “wrong” choices, you do not have the right to require others to pay for your sins. Until that’s resolved in American politics and in the larger society, there will never be any real peace or happiness for the folks who make good choices and do the right things. Using government police powers to rob your neighbors on your behalf is evil and selfish; a kind of stinking thinking that dampens the incentive to for good folks who excel in business and in life.
Why would anyone put forward a 110% effort if the “police state” is just going to take the fruit by force and give it over to some lay-about or sex pervert down the street? This kind of Obama style social engineering has nearly killed the American dream. The Pilgrim’s tried socialism when they first arrived, and it nearly killed them all. They found out that many people will kick back and mooch off their neighbors if allowed to do so. It didn’t work then and it doesn’t work now.
And that’s what’s killing America!
Do we need another William Bradford or someone to implement the biblically correct command by the Apostle Paul, “If you don’t work…you don’t eat”? Look, if you want to laze around, eat like a hog, drink smoke and be merry, then when the big heart attack or stroke hits, don’t expect empathy, sympathy or free medical care. If you can’t pay for it out of your own pocket, then you should be denied unless a charity or 3rd party feels the need to help you. Simply put, you have no right to expect help from folks not responsible for your troubles.
It’s time for Americans to let the “Good Riddance Factor” prevail. We could easily eliminate crime in America. Why pay to police and incarcerate millions of scum bags? Instead, just pay handsome rewards to folks who help prevent, stop or capture criminals.
We can cut our military costs and “Defense Spending” 75% by simply informing the world that we are scaling way back and intend on using all those expensive alternative weapons we Americans coughed up trillions of dollars to create. We could easily rule the world today by being willing to kill our enemies. And, if the world knew we were willing to kill our enemies, I promise everyone would try to be our friend.
Instead of seeking ways to enhance government influence in our lives, huge rewards could be paid to those who find ways to eliminate agencies and overhead by automation or simple policy changes.
To ensure long lasting social peace and eliminate most crime, start training kids in Junior High School how to properly handle firearms for the purpose of defending themselves, their families and country. Teach ethics and morality from early ages and stop scoffing at the Christian ideals that helped America become the greatest country on earth. A fully armed America is a free America. And an armed and trained America is safer yet.
No more free electric scooters for folks who brought on their own health problems, no more free food and housing, no more free medical care for folks who by their “personal choices” caused their own diseases. End welfare, free child care and make young parents fulfill their responsibilities or face severe criminal charges. End the fallacy of lifetime careers and unnaturally early paid retirements for over-paid and mostly unnecessary politico’s and bureaucrats.
Imagine living in a “FAIR” America where we allow people to honestly reap what they sow, an America that allows people to get exactly what they deserve.
Now that’s FAIRNESS.
Just watch how fast folks stop making bad choices when we stop paying their bills.
To save America, we need to get back to basic, moral and simple values. To do anything less is more than a national travesty, it’s more like treason.
Or, is it possible that Americans are okay with being the enemies within?
Ringside Politics: Mayor Bloomburg finally does something by JEFF CROUERE
After allowing the Occupy Wall Street protesters to “occupy” Zucotti park for nearly 2 months, New York City mayor Michael Bloomburg finally gave them their evitction notice. The mayor allowed these people to exersize their constitutional right to free speech for close to 60 days but, with the camp having become a health and safety hazzard (not to mention that it was killing the small businesses and trampling on the rights of the people who live and work near the park), it was time for them to go. A judge has ruled that the OWS protesters can return to the park but they can no longer camp there. While the right to assemble and make your concerns be know is a right that we are all entitled to, what these people have been doing has gone far beyond any reasonable interpretation of the boundries of that right. We are a nation that was designed to be ruled by laws. We are given the right to elect citizens to represent our interests in passing those laws but we are not given a carte blanche break them as we see fit to make a point. Civil disobedience is still breaking the law and with it comes the responsibility of the law. If people are allowed to unconditionally disobey laws at random to try to make a point our nation will decend into the morass of anarchy and ultimately fall into oblivion. Thank you Mayor Bllomburg for reminding these people of that.
Americans are being given a spin cycle each time the Obama teleprompter speaks and points his ring finger where to get quarters to do another load of his soiled laundry. Michelle Obama offers us vending machine soap purchased from Target with a rose garden smell assuming it will hide the truth. Then Obama expects everyone to take out the wet load and put it in the dryer on a fluff cycle were it spins for hours with no heat. In short he wants someone else to take the blame for his fraudulent apparel while he celebrates at the White House Fountain Fund Raisers. If you need to do more washing the Federal Reserve Bank takes your money and gives you only fifty cents on the dollar at the coin wall vending machine. Fifty percent goes to a special interest slush fund for foreign bank loans.
Your laundry left unattended as it works thru the federal wash cycle gives your rights away to TSA search and seizure of your under wear without warrant. Every federal washing machine program that has been presented to the public has been short lived and failed, yet every one of Obama’s Czars continues to give us a new twist on a different spin cycle with the same size tub. Now the White House Laundry Room talking heads are coming out in a panic trying to fix the commercial washing machines and dryers that are out of balance with the White Houses revolving press room dry cycles. This will cost Americans for each repair by raising fees and taxes when they use each federally serviced washing machine and dryer.
Signs cover the depressing walls with political encouragement offering a better way of life; “Yes We Can”, Obama Care, Support the Jobs Act, Put Americans Back to Work in Shovel Ready Jobs, The Transition Has Ended and the New Administration Has Begun, Revitalizing the Economy, Ending the War in Iraq, and the beat goes on, but in fine red print font style Wingdings Three, font size six are government regulations and restrictions holding American’s enslaved with detours.
Two flat screen monitors are set-up on the walls over looking the laundry room for your viewing pleasure so every man, women and child can hear and see all the federal, state, banking, mortgage, foreign and student loan programs, government motors, and foreign green jobs spinning away their hard earned labor in trillions of silver dollars to foreign banks. The unmusical sound of the multi-colored washers and dryers give promises to create shovel ready jobs as American’s are being given verbal over flowing tubs of soap bubbles while Obama shakes hands with foreign god father’s on the red carpet door mat of the White House. So much for a reformed and transparent administration instead of front loading see through washers Obama is using top loading washers made in China with a locking lid during the spin cycle.
A confusing sign above the White House Laundry Mat bathroom door reads Solyndra Funding, One Person Limit per Fire Code. Obama charges a quarter for each flush and extra dollars for Federal toilet paper hand outs; however their is cause for alarm as the green energy Czar head washers are in a panic loosing control creating a sewer line back up and a procession knocking on the door after each flush for their dump turn.
For moments of hope and hunger Obama has provided Food-O-Rama vending machines filled with candy, chips, cookies, peanuts, coffee, hot chocolate and soft drinks, to appease your anger. When putting in your hard earned dollar and entering the item code the package gets stuck, when all attempts have failed to shake it loose you attempt another vending machine for chocolate or coffee, but it pours out minus the recycled cup, you have no recourse, but to look for the Obama laundry room attendant, but to bad they have left for the day and you discover the washing machine spin cycle isn’t working leaving soapy water in your clothes, suddenly the Obama Fund Raiser Community Organizer in Chief Motorcade appears bringing traffic to a stand still. Then you notice a sign everything is on a programmed timer and the Obama White House Laundry Mat closes automatically leaving you in the dark, you realize you have been taken through a dictator vending system sucker wash.
This is a comparison with humor showing how this president has taken America on a down hill cycle offering solutions with fake opportunities to know where. Obama cuts off your pants making them zipper less shorts, then implements an illegal law enforcing you to use a high priced mandatory government tailor for the repair. If this made you laugh you will enjoy reading: Obama’s “Yes We Can” Promises to Dim America’s Future and Destroy our Spirit, By Linda Frances Marie
Ringside Politics: Whoo-hoo, Unemployment is now ONLY 9% by JEFF CROUERE
Guess what President Obama is taxing now? Your Christmas Tree. That’s right, our tax and spend president has decided to apply a 15 cent tax on the sale of all fresh Christmas Tree sold. The money is to be pooled together to create some sort of marketing program to promote Christmas Trees. The federal government has no business being in the business of selling Christmas Trees, or anything else for that mater. Yet, here they are again, sticking their collective nose where it doesn’t belong.
Between the Solyndra loan scandal, project gun runner, and the recent Gibson guitar wars, President Obama’s reelection campaign really cannot afford another political controversy. But yet there’s a brand new scandal that’s brewing in the Motor City over a recent Ford Motor Company ad featuring a real customer stating that he bought Ford products because he didn’t want to support a company who took government bail-out money. Here is the video of the Sean Hannity interview with Chris McDaniel.
The Obama Administration continues to try to assure us that the recession is over…really? A recent report from the U.S. Census shows that household incomes FELL 7.5% during the 3 years AFTER the recession was declared over. That is DOUBLE the fall DURING the actual recession itself. Now the president wants us to believe that his over-spending and uncontrolled growth of government is still the solution. No wonder the American people are so upset. We need to grow the private sector job base, not government.
The Donald chimes in on the “Occupy Wall Street” protests. He suggests that the protesters should be setting up in front of the White House. Most of these people protesting have no idea why they are there. As far as the complaints against the banks, Donald Trump suggests that there may be some validity. Clear thinking from a chief capitalist.
Even though the “Recession” was officially declared over, U.S. Census reports show that household incomes have continued to drop, bring up the possibility of a depression if things don’t change. The government has been a disaster at trying to make things right and the American people are suffering the consequences as a result. Food prices are up and employment is down. It is time to make sure that you are ready for any problems in the future.
Kovacs Perspective: Wall Street Protestors – Ding Dongs or Dead On? by STEVE KOVACS
What are these guys really protesting? The Occupy Wall Street protests started out by complaining about greedy wall street. Now it is about lack of jobs, corporate greed, captialism is bad, socialsm is good and a whole bevy of gimmie free stuff. Some of these people are even saying that they shouldn’t have to PAY BACK their student loans. We do have real issues facing our nation and if we don’t deal with them soon, these protests will become worse as time goes on. That is why it is vital that we choose carefully who we vote for in the next election. The wrong people in office could spell doom.
