Anytime an athlete is paid more than an entire company of infantry, he is paid too much, and we are to blame.
We are to blame for paying to much for entertainment.
We are to blame for not insisting that Congress pay the men and women who defend us what they are worth.
Certainly, an entire company of infantry should be more valuable to this country than a great athlete!
President Obama claims to have been on top of the oil spill since Day 1, but he has yet to talk to the BP CEO. That means he has not asked “What help do you need to get the job done?” Every good leader asks that question, and then follows through on it.
Why would so many members of the Obama Administration criticize the Arizona immigration law without reading it?
Are they using it as a distraction while they do something they don’t want us to notice?
What has been pushed through the House or Senate while we weren’t looking?
Would you pass oil spill reform and exempt British Petroleum (BP)?
The financial reform bill moving through Congress does not affect Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the prime players in causing our current recession.
Is Congress stupid or do they think we are?
Is Obama stupid or does he think we are? I don’t believe Obama is stupid.
Obama Adminstration has to attack the Arizona law because it highlights the failure of the Obama Administration to fulfill its duties.
The previous Governor of Arizona, Janet Napolitano, who is now the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security called for President Bush to secure the border. President Bush failed to fulfill his duty to secure the borders. Now Secretary Napolitano argues against the same policies she advocated as governor.
Another reason the new Arizona law is so embarrassing to the Obama Administration is that mirrors the federal laws that they took oaths to enforce, but are ignoring.
So, of course, the Obama Adminstration has to attack the new Arizona law.
That is the solution to the problem of illegal immigration: high walls and wide gates.
It should be easier to immigrate legally to the United States and much harder to immigrate illegally.
From what we hear, you would think states have always had sales taxes. The Republic survived 130 years without any sales taxes. The problem isn’t so much that we have too many taxes, although we do. The real problem is that we spend so much, and new government programs are always funded with money someone else.
Did you notice that income taxes and sales taxes arrived at the height of “The Progressive Era”? These are the same people who believe that Government can and should solve all problems. Of course, solving problems requires money. Unfortunately, its your money.
