Yep, watching THIS WEEK (ABC) earlier they missed the correlation between tax cuts and increased revenue to the treasury too. The good news is no matter how Democrats try to sell their plan, it is getting more evident it doesn’t work for private sector growth.

I agree but it drives me nuts that our side does not explain growing the economy increases tax revenues that are not counted by the CBO OR the Democrats. So the assumptions thrown at our side is a false narrative.

Any reason that Paul Ryan is absent on the Sunday circuit?

I'm guessing his wife still has him pinned to the mattress...

Yep, been having that discussion with a know-it-all, and it’s so disappointing that otherwise normal nice fella gets all loud and conversation dominate as he blurts out false information, and I humbly keep having to correct him. Next time, I will be less humble as I recap our previous discussions and require him to have facts or cork it.

Just goes to my first point - Most elected Republicans are Socialist wannabe dictators just like their good friends the Democrats

I'm sorry but the math doesn't support your opinions.

Bush and last GOP Congress budget deficit 2006-$160 billion

Obama and last Democrat Congress deficit 2010-1.6 Trillion

If the VOTERS chose to believe the propaganda emanating from the Boob tube, they have no one but themselves to blame for the choices they make.

Repeal the 19th amendment, and only let landowners vote (Smile)

Wallace takes issue with Gibbs chuckling at his characterization of “non-elected” board members. Gibbs points out they are medical professionals.

So was Dr. Mengele...

My opinion is that the elected representatives - both the Democrats and Republicans have been growing the Federal G’ment. This being the equivalent of Socialism.
Bush - No child left behind. We can look at the Iraq and Afghan wars with another perspective - Bomb them to the stone age, get out and let them figure it out. This was somewhat the case for Easter Europe when FDR sold this portion of the world to Communist tyranny. Or spend the time and money to nation build.

I am looking for candidates who will work to eliminate Federal G’ment departments. This should help reduce the Federal budget and give us back our freedom

As when someone says both parties are alike, no, they were, but the conservatives are actively trying to rid Republicans of the spoiled politicians, well Democrat supporters will put up with it at any cost just to see a Democrat elected over a Republican.

We have other arguments at heritage.org.
The stuff below from heritage makes great arguments and if we don’t start using it soon we may regret it.

http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2012/07/top-5-reasons-taxmageddon-is-destroying-jobs?rel=Taxes

Here is a list of the top five reasons we need to use more in our arguments to win.
1. If Job creators are over taxed its costs 700k jobs,you cans see the detail in the link.
2.The “uncertainty” alone for investors is a huge problem not knowing what the obama regime will do next currently has billions upon billions of investment capital on the sidelines not doing anything but collecting dust and lots of it offshore.
3.The more taxation the lower the incentive.
4. Within obamacare alone just to mention a few of the problems is a 3.8% investment tax of all things. You just can’t win with socialism.
5. The death tax kicks in big time with an obama win.

As you can see there is so much at stake financially its the difference between a huge win for the economy vs. socialism coming after every producer in the country and we haven’t even touched on energy or anything else.

In this video I give you a rundown of a portfolio that I think will hold up in any adverse market collapse. The premise boils down to 3 major equity/asset categories: 1)Energy %25 2)Precious Metals %25 3)Defensive (ie Walmart, JNJ, McD,etc) %50 This is a simple, straight-forward approach to protect your capital and wealth in this tulmultuous time. Part 1: Just a recap, here are the companies I give a green thumb to: Energy: 25% of Portfolio 1) Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) 5.5% yield 2) Calumet (CLMT) 10% yield 3) Uranium Participation Corp (URPTF) 0% yield or Cameco Corp (CCJ) 2% yield Precious Metals: 25% of Portfolio 1) Buy one Major Gold Minor: -Barricks Gold Corp (ABX) 2% yield -Goldcorp (GG) 1.40% yield -Newmont Mining Corp (NEM) 2.8% yield -Kinross Gold (KGC) 2% yield -Randgold (GOLD) 0.40% yield Part 2: 2)Buy 1 minor Gold producer/explorer: -Carpathian Gold (CPNFF) 3) Buy 1 Major Silver Producer -Silver Wheaton Corp (SLW) 1.30% yield 4) Buy 1 mid-Major Silver Producer -Silvercorp (SVM) 1.50% yield And then allocate some of your portfolio to physical precious metals. Look into SilverSaver(dot)com Part 3: 50% of the portfolio Moat Stocks: 1)Walmart (WMT) - 2.30% yield 2) Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) - 3.90% yield 3) Proctor and Gamble (PG) - 3.6% yield 4) Coca-Cola (KO) - 2.70% yield 5) McDonalds (MCD) - 3.20% yield TOPICS: Business/Economy; Constitution/Conservatism; News/Current Events; Politics/Elections; Click to Add Topic KEYWORDS: 401k; economy; ira; market; meltdown; portfolio; rothira; stockmarket; stockportfolio; Click to Add Keyword This is about where I am at investment wise too, so I thought it a good discussion for those of us who are not getting completely out of the market, yet. Just to clarify, I am only a small 401k investor and this is not me, but I'll have to say he's thinking along similar lines; About SonOfAbba's channel => Investor, entrepreneur, libertarian-leaning Christian. Looks good son,not a bad portfolio at all.

Exactly. IPAB is an Acronym for Death Panels

That's a lot of power.

Could well be. Unemployment was up in over 40 states and is probably at 8.6% right now the way they calculate it. And in reality closer to 15%. These guys are class A1 liars. They can spin anything you are probably right.

The other thing thy are doing is the blue/red dem Republican state map on CNN and other dem nets. They are showing how zero has it all sewn up and its all uphill for Romney to win.Very slick. Truth is the swing states are everything this year and we are ahead in almost all or trending up.
