]]> Comment on Racist bake sale by Johnny http://johntusch.com/2011/09/27/racist-bake-sale/#comment-88 Johnny Tue, 27 Sep 2011 14:34:05 +0000 http://johntusch.com/?p=261#comment-88 I think that the bake sale is actually pointing out what is still wrong in the quest for racial equality. With any form of racial differences (like affirmative action) you can never have racial equality. Unless I'm mistaken racial equality would occur when people are judged on their actions and qualifications not the color of their skin. How can this occur with affirmative action. For example, would you want to see the doctor who got hired to fill some racial quota or the one who got hired because they were the most qualified candidate?

More revenue from the rich? Why not take it all...it'll run Washington for about a week, tops. Someone needs to explain "opportunity cost" to the Dems. Every dollar pulled from the consumer market is a job opportunity lost. Look up US Debt by year on Wiki. Compare that to when Dems control the House (read "checkbook"). S&P clearly state that Debt/GDP is too high, and raising taxes does not increase GDP to my knowledge. Spending must be reduced below revenue to reduce debt/GDP (ONLY the TEA party had a viable plan). And I said "reduced" not shifted...to your next point; State Taxes- Hah, see above but on a local scale. Doesn't anyone remember "rising tide raises all boats"? Get some businesses to hire, raise the revenue by increasing number of workers....Duh. Regarding the unions, I'm reminded of the saying "you f---ed up, you trusted us"...well, it goes both ways. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Look to the states that are growing in the current climate...hmmm, no income taxes, business friendly regulations...surprised?. President's economic team??? Huh? Tax cheat Geitner? 'nuff said? Can you trust the nation's economy to someone who can't properly file a tax form? Recent Geitner quote-"There's NO risk of a downgrade" Pull your head out of the sand (being nice) Tim. See point #1 again...stop spending like drunken sailors (no offense to drunken sailors) and release the great economic engine of the US. Rises...totally related to the economy, in my humble opinion, and to the fact that DOJ seems to be fumbling the ball everywhere they go. (Panthers at polling places, Fast & Furious, KSM in NYC, etc)... Sigh...I'd better go....I could go on and on... Point by point;

Meanwhile, Gold touches an all time high daily. Silver is also beginning to look like a safe haven as well.
