News Flash! Trickle down economics doesn't work!!

From Talking Points Memo: Warren Buffet want's you to raise his taxes.
Truth is Corporate profits are at record highs, and none of that money is being used to create jobs, hire or increase pay. Trickle down economics has never and will never work. Buffet and Gates are 2 of hundreds that tell it like it is: The rich got rich by being Americans and need to do their part. There is absolutely no logical reason to extend the Bush tax cuts.
But when has logic ever stopped a Rightwing talking point?
Was unable to embed as nicely as I would have liked.
Warning turn your volume down!

Born Again!

O.K. This will blow most everyone's mind. I am a born again Christian. Much of what I have been doing here was all a precursor to my accepting Jesus Christ as my personal savior. I am a recovering..Pot Head. I am approximately 30 days clean and sober. After 32 years of denial, agnosticism and reading so-so many books except the one that really matters, I have turned my life over to Christ. Giving up reefer was easy. Cutting loose 30 year friendships that are bad for me (Including my Mother and Sister) was and is extremely difficult. My new family and friends are at my community church which I will not name till I have permission. This is not something I do lightly. Ironically or perhaps divinely, I was baptised yesterday in of all places the Cape Coral Yacht Club pool. Ironic because this is where I used to take my cassette case full of nicely rolled joints to "Find the party" Peace out and God Bless. Ray

Should all churches be tax exempt?

Despite the name of this blog, I am by no means a bible scholar or theologian. Is Mormonism is a form Christianity and a valid religion? Some would say that all religions are cults. Most evangelicals do not acknowledge the Church of  Latter Day Saints, as they do Judaism or other forms of Christianity. Mormonism seems to me a relatively new schism designed to obscure the finances of a secret society. (You may argue they all are) It has little to do with scripture and the teachings of  Jesus.  The huge churches IMO are an offense to God. Churches should be humble; acquiring  real estate and wealth is  antithetical to Jesus's teachings. The church of LDS holdings are incalculable. It's disgusting.   Churches in our country are tax exempt, but I don't think the church of LDS deserves that exemption. Most churches don't, they are businesses, and should be taxed as such.   Jesus would certainly rebuke todays churches: Luke 18:23 (N.I.V.) "...

Homelessness

The Buzzcocks  - I need It has been a long time since I last posted, Febuary in fact. Things are not going as I had hoped they would. I am currently homeless . It is not what you think. I have met many homeless Veterans. If you saw a pic of any of the people I have met you would never know they were homeless. They are the most positive people I have ever met. Many are suffering from alcohol and other addictions problems. I am not. I have been clean for five years. I need a job.   (Are you listening Mr. President???)  I wish someone (besides me) would write a article about all the formerly middle class Americans that are now homeless as a result of our dying economy. The "experts" are saying the economy is growing again because banks are lending. They have bad data. They are unaware of how many people are living off the grid.  For the first few days at the Triage low demand homeless shelter I slept on a cot. I had access to bad fo...
