Warren Buffet is Right! Politicians Do Your Job or We will Find Someone Who Will

By David M. Bresnahan

The debates and political posturing throughout the “debt crisis” have shown us that politicians on all sides seem to use the same tired old tactics of pointing fingers at each other, then trying to scare the voters into doing what the politicians want, not what we the people want and need.

They seem to think they need to manipulate us into believing they are doing us some kind of favor. In reality we need to put some fear into those politicians so they will just do their job. It is time to turn things around. We need to have the courage to tell them to do their job or get fired on election day, regardless of political party.

Warren Buffet has the solution. A few days ago a friend sent me one of those E-mails that people pass around from one to the other. It made some claims about Buffet, and I decided to check and see if he really said what the E-mail claimed he said. I found a video of the interview and was pleased to see that he actually did make the statement attributed to him.

He said it with a smile, knowing that to put the solution in place the politicians have to vote this into law (which they would never do), but he certainly has it right. Here is what was said:

“I could end the deficit in 5 minutes,” said Warren Buffet on CNBC Jul. 7, 2011. » read more

Senate President is a Dictator

By David M. Bresnahan

The U.S. House of Representatives did the right thing by passing the Cut, Cap, and Balance bill. Unfortunately the Senate President, Harry Reid (D) decided to play politics, and dictator.

Rather than put an end to increased spending and deeper debts for our nation, Reid refused to put the bill on the shelf without action. One man with too much power has refused to allow our elected representatives to debate and vote on legislation to help our nation.

Reid said: “I think this piece of legislation is about as weak and senseless as anything that has ever come on this Senate floor, and I’m not going to waste the Senate’s time day after day on this piece of legislation which I think is anathema to what our country is all about.”

Reid acts like a dictator, or at best he has the attitude that he knows what is best and the other 99 members of the U.S. Senate are not capable of representing the people who elected them. He is playing politics and putting our nation at risk.

Senator Reid will not allow a vote on a bill that he personally disagrees with. That is un-American, un-ethical, and just plain wrong. One man should not have that kind of power. We elected 100 Senators to work together to come up with just laws for our nation, not one man to act as dictator.

Mr. President, Please Take Your Hand Out of My Pocket

By David M. Bresnahan

Mr. President, you say that you want to help improve the economy and put more people back to work, but I do not understand how that will happen if you raise taxes and go deeper into debt.

Apparently you are not aware that every single person in this country pays taxes, regardless of their income lever. Consequently, when you raise the income tax of high income citizens you will cause everyone in the country to pay more out of their pocket than they do now.

The reason this happens is fairly simple to understand. Consumers buy goods and services from businesses and businesses pay taxes to local, state, and federal governments. Those taxes are a cost of doing business and the money to pay those taxes comes from consumers. In other words, we all pay taxes through the purchases we make. In addition to those indirect taxes the people of most states also pay sales taxes with each purchase. These taxes reduce the buying power of the dollar, and as those taxes go up the buying power of each dollar goes down. That is not a good way to try to improve our failing economy.

There is no such thing as a tax increase that will only impact the wealthy.

Pearl Harbor – Gen. Timmerman Helps Us Never Forget

By David M. Bresnahan

On the morning of December 7, 1941 three Japanese torpedos struck the U.S.S. Utah causing it to sink at Pearl Harbor. The U.S. Flag was above water flying at half-mast from the stern, and alert sailors retrieved it.
