Sometimes being Senile isn't so bad, Politicians, taxes,The G.O.P. and the Auto Industry!

THE SENILITY PRAYER :
Grant me the senility to forget the people
I never liked anyway,
The good fortune to run into the ones I do, and
The eyesight to tell the difference.

Always Remember This:
You don't stop laughing because you grow old,
You grow old because you stop laughing!!!

Each day we wake up, get dressed for work (some of us)
We take the same bus,train, or car(fossil fuel transporter) to visit a client and park in the same garage near the office at $100 to $300 per week)
We are creatures of habit.
We find a comfort zone and we stay there, not venturing beyond the zone for fear of
"C-H-A-N-G-E."
That is the legacy many Government leaders have;nationally,in your State, and Locally at the Municipal level.
People are afraid of CHANGE, Politicians are afraid of CHANGE, after all they could lose their Cushy Pay, and the fancy benefits of the job.

WAKE UP AMERICA, THE POLITICIANS AT ALL LEVELS WORK FOR Y-O-U!, They are bleeding us dry with tax on-top-of-tax. Enough Already, Do we need another R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N.
The Boston Tea Party was a set-up for Independence.

Do you feel Free and Independent? when every time you look and turn around, their is the tax man in your face. Isn't time to eliminate the I-R-S? and make the tax system simple? I am up to the challenge and would like to be hired to re-write it, but if I write it, many wasteful government entities would be closed, Many federal agencies would shutter their doors and I would bring federal employment down by 50%,excluding military employees and recruits, within four years.
Those ex-gov employees would need to find work in the private industry. The jobs would be there for them but only the cream of the crop would be hired.

The National Republican Party is all but DEAD. The Democrat party is now in charge.
Will they continue to spend on lost causes like keeping the fossils of the Auto Industry alive for American Pride by pouring another 15 to 30 billion dollars into a losing proposition.

The UAW has now become a major stockholder/stakeholder in a shell company called "CHRYSLER" How will the UAW leadership reduce costs, How will they deal with their Union brothers and sisters, Will the UAW leadership work for free? I doubt it.

I believe it is a blunder by the Congress and the President to sink any more money into the carcasses of the American Automobile Industry, Its a money pit, a black hole.

I suggest the President and Congress Offer to every American citizen earning not more than $60,000 as an individual and not more than $120,000 as a joint taxpayer a government backed $6,000 credit card and the elimination of the federal income tax for the balance of 2009.

The US citizen will take the $6,000.00 and spend it on many consumer items, maybe even purchase an American made(union free) Honda, Hyundai, Toyota or VW. The money will be used to pay down rip-off credit cards with interest rates as high as 30%, and much more. My proposal of $6k to 12K per working family earning up to $120,000 will spark the economy because its "REAL SPENDING MONEY" not the measley $300 t0 $600 per family,which didn't do much for the economy.

The BEST AND ONLY STIMULUS PACKAGE IS WITH THE PEOPLE,(AKA CONSUMER), We the People will spend the money on necessities and personal luxuries. Money in the hands of Bankers is lost and will never be recovered, Money into the hands of the Auto Industry will never be recovered.

Economic Darwinism is being thwarted by keeping Chrysler and GM on life-support.
Out of the Ashes of the American auto industry may come 10 to 50 entrepreneurial automobile companies. I would rather have 10 t o 50 new automobile companies than the current/(past)- big three controlling America's economy.

We need move move beyond Fossil propelled vehicles and to do that, we need to bury two of the three fossils:GM and Chrysler. As for FORD motor company, they may need to merge with a European or maybe an Indian(India) Company to survive.

Be Senile, Smile and have a nice day,

LET'S VACATION ON THE BEACHES OF CUBA, YEH BABY!

It's about time we begin the process of bringing democracy and capitalism to the people of Cuba. While President Obama is literally offering the Carrot and Stick approach to opening up a dialogue with the Cuban leadership by allowing travel for only "Cuban-Americans", I look forward to the day (sooner than later) when I can travel to Cuba and vacation on the beaches.

Many who are opposed claim "Human rights violations", For those who are complaining about those violations, I want to know why we are Purchasing products and trading with China, Russia, Venezuela, Chile, Ecuador and many other nations who are violating human rights.

China on a daily basis is violating the rights of Tibetans, and Chinese brn intellectuals who are seeking 100% democracy and freedom, yet many global corporations based in the USA, have factories and many other corporations import from China.

To those who complain about opening the doors for trade and travel to Cuba, please take an inventory of the goods in your home and the apparel you wear, read the country of origin label, ask yourself how can you wear clothes or watch television or use your computer and printer, since they are all made in China.

Let's swing open the doors to CUBA, so the cigars will drop in price from $20.00 for a Cohiba to $2.00 each.

Go Phillies.

I & YOU ARE ROCKING THE BOAT.

Senator Sanders



Credit Cards Vermont’s independent Sen. Bernie Sanders is the main sponsor of the bill to limit credit card interest rates to 15 percent. Times are tough, says Sanders, and some consumers cannot get out from under their credit card debt. “While people are really finding themselves in economically desperate circumstances, one of the reasons is they’re paying 25 percent, 30 percent interest rates on their credit cards.” The bill, introduced earlier this month, has attracted five cosponsors. While some states limit borrowing rates, there’s never been any such national law, CNN Radio reported. AUDIO

Senator Bernie Sanders has picked up and listened to my cause and thanks to all your TWITTER Followers of my blog and my TWITTS. Spread the word.

WE WANT A 10% CAP ON ALL CREDIT CARD INTEREST RATES. IF THE BANKS REFUSE TO AGREE,

MR. RICHARD D. FAIRBANK

DON'T USE YOUR CREDIT CARDS!!!

Hello Again:

How are things going. Do you best not to use your credit cards. (1) You save money, (2) You deny the banks dollars on high(loan-shark) interest rates (3) Cash is Golden. I stopped using my credit cards, I am using PAYPAL for online orders. Don't rent money anymore.

By not using your credit cards, the Bank Issuers will have to eventually give in and lower the interest rates and offer deals. I cut up my Capital One Card, sent it to the "recycle bin!"

DON'T USE YOUR CREDIT CARD

DON'T USE YOUR CREDIT CARD IF YOUR CC INTEREST RATE IS ABOVE 10%.

Now is the time to fight for your right as a Credit Card Holder. When you read the stipulations to owning a CC, they are in total control, from variable rates, to excessive fees and it can be punishing when you miss a payment or the high interest puts you above you limit, then you are charged an "overlimit fee!"

LET'S ALL USE CASH, CHECK, MONEY ORDER AND PAYPAL TO purchase our goods, lets tell the BANKS' we want a rate at 10% or lower. IF we don't get the rate, we will not use their Credit Cards.

If millions of citizens stash their cards away and don't use them, the Banks and CC companies will be like any other business, when demand falls off, they will do a couple of things, Cancel your card for "NON-USE", it happend to me with SEARS, I don't shop at any SEARS stores anymore or they will lower your rate.

IF Millions of cardholders stop using your branded card and used Cash, Each of you will save hundreds of dollars each year, you will actually gain from your purchases.

I have a Capital One card that I refuse to use, because the interest rate is above 20%, It's sits in a box, waiting for daylight,(it won't happen) no matter how commercials they run.

Pass the word, DON'T USE YOUR CREDIT CARD.
EMAIL EVERYONE YOU KNOW.

Go Phillies !
Congrats Steelers

Shame on the UAW!

Well, Their you have it! The UAW has rejected the stipulations set by the Senate for the dollars needed to keep the "Legacy" American Auto Industry on life support. Since the UAW refused to agree to the Senate plan.

I propose the Big Three meet their financial metrics by cutting 60% of the employment base.
Here is an example: 1,000 workers earning $75.00 an hour, well, cut it to 400 workers earning $75.00 a hour, discontinue product lines, and spin-off other product lines as independent companies, such as SATURN and PONTIAC.

$75.00 x 1000 employees= $75,000.00
$75.00 x 400 employees = $30,000.00
The UAW membership retains the current wages at the detriment of the other 600 fellow Union members.

Here is a suggestion: Take the 50% pay cut and be fortunate you still have a job or continue to be stubborn and lose your job and your home, your car etc.

I own a Saturn ION, its my third Saturn vehicle. This version of my ION II, cost me more money and offered me less extra's, It also runs poorly and its a 2007 model.

My next car will be a "HONDA Hybrid!"

I will not support the American Three from this day forward: GM, Chrysler, and Ford.
You can bank on that .
