Russias invasion

We are making A big deal about Russia invading Georgia but nobody is saying anything about Georgia invading Ossetia doing A lot of damage and killing A lot of people.It looks like Russia invaded Georgia to punish them for invading Ossetia and now we want to punish Russia for invading Georgia.If Russia honors the cease fire that was agreed to we should be thankfull to Russia. This could esculate into another world war which nobody needs. It sure would be nice if people or countries and their leaders could settle their differances peacefuly without starting A war.Wars cause A lot of hardships for A lot of people and kill A lot of innocent people,including the soldiers that are fighting the war,In most cases they didnt have anything to do with starting the war. They are just pauns of the government leadersthat are sending them in to do the fighting. MY opinion by John Zilverberg

rich folksandtaxes

I generally like Bill O Reillys column and programs and usualy agree with him But I see in his column in the july 6 plainsman that when it comes to money he is just like the rest of the rich people. He likes to keep all that money he makes at the expense of the general public.He and the rest of the people who are making the big moneyare making it at the expense of the working public. Most of these are working as hard or harder then he is to produce the wealth,like the farmer who growes the food and handal it,the people who manufacture cars and machinery,the miners who dig the coal just to name A few.Sure some people are good enough and smart enough to take most of the profit from our labor.Butwe are A democraticc country and we ought to be smart enough to take some of it back to benefit the grneral public. If we raised the present tax on individuals one percent on every one hundred thousand dollars after the first 250000.00 some one making ten million would still have apprximatly three million left after taxes . He could spend one million and still have two million left to hoard or give away if they so desire. Instead of creating more billionairs,we could pay off the national debt and put this country on A paying basis.That would put the value back in our dollar thereby benefitting the whole country and everybody in it. And dont fall for that idea of A 22 percent national sales tax. That would give the multi millionairs and the billionaires even more of A good deal then they have now. My oppinion by John Zilverberg.
