Now, given that I am now married but also part time gypsy, and far from living in a traditional manner, I likely have no business to call this an unconventional baby shower. :) But it WAS different. For one thing, the baby was already born, the party was mostly for the dad as well as the baby, guys were welcome,  and it was held at Bamboo Bernie's, a local drinking and eating establishment. None of that took away from how cute ... Read More

Who said there are no such thing as rich Democrats?! Michael Bloomberg is an independent Democrat, you have George Soros, Ted Turner, Al Gore who is now on the board of directors at Apple, yes the computing company, and you have Jeff Greene in Florida and there is also Oprah.   I've heard the lie and mantra and so have you. The democrats are for the poor working class and the rich are Republicans, evil wicked Republicans. Why do people carry on ... Read More

Basically I am tired of being told, and it being misrepresented around the world that the Republican Party is for the rich. That does seem to be the message driven out there. Obviously there is another message for all to see, and it is also put out there, but no one makes the connection. Just only need to open your mind and scan the headlines...the way of living of the other party and the Obama administration and family would suggest the ... Read More

“I don’t have facts to back this up, but I happen to believe that these demonstrations are planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama administration.” ~Herman Cain Is this a mere distraction to deter people from noticing the failed policies of Obama as Cain suggests? Is ACORN behind it? How can people just walk by a corrupt government in D.C. and protest against money and makers of the THINGS we demand? I have little knowledge of Steve Jobs. ... Read More

I think I found a way to solve the debt crisis in this country. Recently a list was posted, the 50 Wealthiest in Congress. It got me to thinking. # 50 's worth was over $5 million dollars. How connected are these law and budget makers with the average American people? They can't possibly feel the same as you and I do when we fill our gas tanks, or go food shopping. They can't possibly understand what it's like to make ... Read More

Our nation is in debt and our two parties have a big disagreement on what to do about it. Our president and leader decides to carry on with political lows and not stay on subject about the differences, but turn it into something it isn't. He played the class warfare card. From National  Journal Kids versus Corporate jets. If President Obama's news conference accomplished anything on Wednesday afternoon, it underscored, in striking tones, his strategy for winning the debt ceiling fight with Republicans: Make ... Read More

Look at the earnings from Michael Moore's 'mockumentaries' and his comments about his audience to understand his motivations. In his films, Moore condemns the automotive, energy, health-care, and other industries, claiming their intense greed compromises their ethics. In contrast to the small to negative profit margins of the targets of his critiques, Moore the 'philanthropist' on the other hand, enjoys a 94% margin from his films, earning $292 million: Roger and Me - $8 million Bowling for Columbine $54 million Fahrenheit 9-11 $216 million Sicko ... Read More

Reading an article today by Paul Craig Roberts, this line stood out, "The "free American" starts off with a 30% tax rate, the position of a medieval serf." The premise of his article is to show that what the Obama administration is really doing is "taxing ordinary people in order ... Read More

Yes we've heard all about the $5 donations that helped build Obama's record-breaking $742 million campaign funds, but what is the whole story? Ever since he ran for the Senate in 2004, Barack Obama has had a wealth of 10-figure tycoons advising - and funding - him. ...Barack Obama has had a slew of billionaire backers with him on his journey to the White House--plutocrats who provide economic and political advice and help to raise money. Lots of money. Since campaign contributions are ... Read More

"We Are One, but Some Are More One Than Others," says Kriston Capps, a little disenchanted with how the Inauguration is being handled. The theme is "We Are One" but Kriston saw fit to rename it. She was speaking of the Inaugural Concert held Sunday. The concert was supposed to be part of "the people's party," said Shawn Paterniti, who had come with his wife Mia from Columbia, Md., to see the show. "But still, you have the VIPs who want their ... Read More

It's nice to know in these difficult economic times, not everyone is suffering. Did you know that in the whole world there are 8 million millionaires? The ranks of the world’s rich swelled to 8m during 2007 as the wealthy proved immune to the strains across global economies in the latter half of the year. There was a 4.5 per cent increase last year in so-called “high net worth individuals”, those with investable assets of more than $1m excluding primary residence, according to ... Read More

I don't believe I needed a study to know this, but according to a study published in Science , Money does not buy much Happiness. However, according to another article, the rich do get more sleep . More money and more sleep? That's a disgrace that they can't be a little happier and give us sleep deprived poor people a little hope! :)   ... Read More

"One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad." "Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked. "Oh yeah," said the son. "So, ... Read More
