New Cigarrete Tax: Who is getting hurt?

Taxes only on the Wealthy, yeah right! It is well known that the “less fortunate” are the ones that smoke the most cigarettes, so increasing the tax on them is hurting the very people that the lier of all liers, comrade Obama, had promissed would not get a tax increase. Follow this link to see how much extra you will be paying. (at the bottom of the page)

Here is a video on the subject

I personally don’t smoke, I used to a long time ago, but I am sure that everyone knows people who will be affected by this. Here is where I get confused, this is to fund SCHIP? Ok, kids need health care, but, did you have insurance when you were a kid? I didn’t, and I still grew up!

I am sorry, I am just jealous I guess. Maybe it is the thought of an even larger government? Maybe it is the government control? Maybe it is that feeling of looming oppression? I just wonder what is going to get taxed next, air? I am sorry if I sound bitter, but I believe that we each have to sink or swim on our own, yes, those that have VALID disabilities, or are really old, do need help, but it should come from a local resource, starting with the family and moving outwards to friends, then to the community, but keep government out of it, if you get something from the government, there are always strings attached, like new taxes!

Just so that you know, Glenn Beck is going to a Tea Party in San Antonio, that place is going to get packed! If you are in the area, make sure that you show up, I’ll be that fat guy with a tie dye! Hope to see you there!

Where is the Money? Capitalism vs Communism vs Socialism, What is the difference? Why should anybody care?

My last post on the subject of Communism vs Capitalism, has generated quite a bit of traffic to this site, so, I decided to do a follow-up. The first entry was about the differences between the people and such, this post is about the differences of the systems, beliefs, and the pitfalls of each.

First break it down this way, Capital-ism, Commun(e)-ism, and Social-ism, now lets get started.

Capital-ism

An economic system based on a free market, open competition, profit
motive and private ownership of the means of production. Capitalism
encourages private investment and business, compared to a
government-controlled economy. Investors in these private companies
(i.e. shareholders) also own the firms and are known as capitalists.

As the graphic shows, more money gets distributed between fewer people, but why? Can this be a good thing? I guess that depends on where you sit, at the top, bottom, or middle. Myself, I am not too far from the bottom, no, thank God, I am not homeless, jobless, or completely destitute, but the middle is so far above me, I can’t even see it!

I believe that Capitalism is the best way to go, even as an example of what can go wrong, I have had opportunities that I wouldn’t have had otherwise.

With Capitalism, it is basically “survival of the fittest” as in this example. Read more
