A milestone in Eraq

We have just passed A new milestone in Eraq.We had our 4000th causalty in the Eraq war and the media and the poiticions are going to make A big deal out of it, The media because it makes good reading and the politicions because they hope it will benefit their political ambitions. Its A shame we have to havce even one causalty in this or any other sensles war. All wars are sensles because differences should be settled peacefuly but it takes two sesible people or governments to settle their differances peacefuly so we have wars and you cant fight A war without causualties, We realy havnt done to bad in this war when it comes to causualties if you put that in proper prospective. you must realize we have 158000 thoops over there and if you were to track 158000 people between the ages of 15 and 50 over A five year period I am sure you would find that more then 4000 of them had been killed in various accidents and homicides and you must realize that the terrorists killed nearly 3000 of our people here at home in one day and numerousother people before that in various attacts on american citizens and service personel.

terrorists thoughts

Cant you just imagine the good feelings of the people runing the terrorist training camps and what they are thinking. The U. S. is having an election and maybe the democrats will win.If they do they will get all the americans out of Eraq,That will give us A free hand in Eraq to kill off all the christians and any one else that dosnt agree with our policies. We will just chop their heads off and throw them in the river and when we get done in Eraq we will have time to figure out how we can take care of the United States and do the same thing there. We have plenty of young people that we can brain wash into thinking that if they kill themselves and A lot of inocent people they will go to heaven. If they realize if there is such A place ae hell that is where they will be spending their time maybe they wont be so anious to kill themselves and a lot of inocent people My opinion by John Zilverberg

our country is in trouble

As A world power we are fast becming A second class citizen. For one thing we are fast becoming A bankrupt nation. Our dollar is now only worth 72 cents and looeing value every day. foreign nations are already taking over A lot of the businesses in this country. we have A tax system that is creating A class of multimillionairs and billionairs at the expense of the general public, Our trade deficet is costing us billions and some people are pushing for free trade and open borders. Its A world market and we are already priced out of the market.How can we compete with countries where people work for 10 or 20 percent of our minimum wage. Eveery time we raise the minimum wage the prices of the goods we produce goes up accordingly so our wages dont buy any more then they did before but it puts us more out of world markets so foreign so foreign goods is taking over our markets and our jobs. We need some poiticions in washington with some busines sense to put this nation on A paying basis. My opinion by John Zilverberg

servilance program

If we have A major disaster in this country caused by the terrorists the congressmen and the senators that refused to vote to extend the servilance program that gives our officials the ability to check the terrorists actvities can take the blame for it. So far it has kept us safe here at home. The democrats are realy hammering Bush for starting the war and blaming him for our war causalties. They want people to forget that the terrorists killed more inicent american citizens before we ever started the war then we have lost in the last four years of the war, besides the thousands of other inicent people they have killed. Freedom isnt free. You have to fight for your life and your freedom. our sacrafices so far are mild compared to what they will be if the terrorists take over the country.

meat recall

The Animal rights activists took pictures of the way A slaughter plant was handaling downer cows . they called the animals sick and caused A huge meat recall. But I am sure that at least in most cases the animals had broken legs or dislocated hips so they couldnt walk or even stand up. So they had to be destroyed regardles and just because they broke A leg that in no way destroys the quality of the meat. This meat has never made anyone sick but I understand that all the meat in S D that came from this plant is to be buried in the Souix Falls land fill. Seems to me that it could be sold to some manufactures of pet foods and cooked up and made into pet food. That would give the state some revenue and make good use of the meat. I think the animal rights activists should figure out A humane way to have these downer animals handled so they wouldnt have to just lie where they had their accident and die A miserable death. With so many people in this world starving it seems A shame to destroy all this good meat. my opinion by John Zilverberg

what is wrong with this country

E have to many rich people in washington making laws to benefit them selves and their rich friends that are giving them the money to keep them in offiice. the working people that are working for A living wage are in the majority in this country and should be able to vote some people into office that would do something about this. I am seriously thinking about running for congress or maybe even for president of the United States. I think with my program I should get nintey percent of the votes because it would benefit ninety percent of the public. Here is what I would do. First I would simplify the tax code so anyone with any comon sense could uderstand it.secondly I would raise the income tax as is about 38percent for incomes over $200000. one percent for every $100000. after the first $200000. up to 90 percent. that would give us enough money to pay off the national debt.Pay all government expenses an have money to grant back to the states to repair roads,improve our hospitals,schools and any other work that would benefit the general public. That in turn would create more jobs so more people would be paying taxes. And dont fall for this idea of eliminating the internal revenue service and replacing the income tax with A national sales tax of 20 percent because you would be beneffitting the supper rich even more then what they are getting now.for example A person working for A living wage would have to spend all their incom on supplies to live on so they would be paying the 20 percent tax on all of their income while the guy that is making $100000000.would pobably only spend one million on taxable material so he would only be paying taxes on one percent of his income .I would limit taxes on busineses because they are what produces jobs and people that have jobs pay taxes. the people that take the big money out of the companies are the ones that should pay the taxes because they are taking the wealth that the working people are producing.Next is the trade deficet that is driving us into bankrupcy and devaluing our dollar. I would have free trade but on A dollar for dollar basis. for example i would limit imports from any country to the same amount of goods that they purchased from us. Well; maybe I am to old to take on this job .I should have started to work on this 20 years ago. But some younge politicions should run on this platform and they should get 90 percent of the votes .

taxes

One of the big problams in this country is our tax system . It is making the rich people in this country richer all the time at the expense of the general public. i see one of our leading preaidtial cadidates says he would eliminate the internal revenue service and replace our present tax system with A flat tax or A national sales tax.I dont know how you would make A flat tax work but A national sales tax would be A big mistake .and A big gift to the richest people in this country. for egample A person making A living wage would have to spend all his income to support himself and his family so he would have to pay the sales tax on all of his income. while the guy making one hundred million might only spend one million.so he would only be paying taxes on onr hundreth of his income.Also anyone running a busines that had to puy A high sales tax on his purchases might go broke.some people think we should have higher tax on corporations and busineses.We shouldnt put A high tax on busieses because they are what are producing the jobs.and the people that hve jobs are the people that pay taxes. we should be taxing the individuals that are taking the big propits out of the companiesIf we were to raise the taxes on individuals from the present maximum of 38 percent one percent for every two hundred thousand after the first two hundred thousand we could put this country on A paying basis and it would benefit everybody.
