The Forgotten Man (Required Summer Reading for ALL conservatives)

[mek1959]

"Americans just now need what Amity Shlaes has brilliantly supplied, a fresh appraisal of what the New Deal did and did not accomplish...."

-George F. Will, Columnist

[mek1959]

This is an eye opening read and if history repeats itself, we're headed right down the same road we did in 1929-1938. Listen to the political rhetoric, "healthcare for everyone", "help for those losing their homes", "make BIG OIL pay their fair share". These are all buzz words for a MUCH bigger government and if conservatives are going to fight back, we better be informed. Shlaes lays a foundation for understanding our future by revisiting our past.

A MUST READ BY EVERY CONSERVATIVE!

During the summer months I read trashy novels by the pool. :)

Saw her interviewed on CSPAN awhile back regarding this book. Good stuff!

After Words: Amity Shlaes, author of "The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression" interviewed by Nick Gillespie

Watch now!

About the Program Amity Shlaes re-examines the financial history of the Great Depression and critiques the New Deal in her book "The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression." The author argues that it was the fortitude of the individual citizen and not President Roosevelt’s economic plan that sustained people throughout the depression. Ms. Shlaes recounts the lives of these individuals as well as the proponents and critics of the New Deal. Amity Shlaes discusses her new book with Nick Gillespie, editor-in-chief of Reason magazine.

Makes you wonder why you work hard all your life, doesn’t it???

Windfall Tax on Retirement Income

Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people, you’re so darn stupid that we’re going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you. That’s what the Speaker of the House is saying. Read below...............

Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. In other words tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is a nut case! You aren’t going to believe this.

Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds! Alas , it is true - all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities!

This woman is frightening.
She quotes...” We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn’t Marx say something like this), in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.” ( I am not rich, are you)

When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:
“We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as ‘Americans’.” (Read that quote again and again and let it sink in. “Lower your retirement, give it to others who have not worked as you have for it”.

Send it on to your friends. I just did!! This lady is out of her mind and she is the speaker of the house!
