A cured or healthy patient is a lost profit,

 

Why don't doctors tell you to eat healthy? Oh big pharma (drug dealers) pays them, farmers don't pay them!!! Take a look at all the side effects on the drugs and remember because of the side effects you have to be on more drugs, each one with side effects needing more drugs and visits to the doctor. Has anyone gone to a doctor and has the doctor advised them to eat healthy and be more active/exercise? I have heard they get less than a week (40 hours )on teaching people to eat healthy and exercise in medical school. I wonder how many people now become doctors to help people or just for the money and status to feed their egos. Just remember their motto is “A HEALTHY OR CURED PATIENT IS A LOST PROFIT”

Minumum Wage destroying America

 Here's a thought that I have put out a few times. While when first started the minimum wage was needed it now used to destroy American Manufacturing by pricing American businesses out of the international market. Not only that even with duties and taxes many if not all imports are cheaper than Made in America products thereby destroying more manufacturing. Time to take a good hard look at how those Elected Public Servants are buying votes and destroying American manufacturing and driving up inflation at the same time with the over inflated minimum wage.

I am a miracle in this day and age, I was born in the mid fifties, my parents and those like them are even bigger miracles so it seems in this day and age. What makes us and those like us so special is simple. We survived. We survived without seat belts and airbags, without bicycle helmets and without anti-lock brakes. We were taught how to drive correctly and we didn't get behind the wheel and say “don't worry I've got insurance or airbags or whatever”. We understood that it was up to us to watch out for the other guy and be careful ourselves and we didn't have cell phones. We survived by knowing that if you spill hot coffee in your lap while driving it is your fault and you will get burned. We survived being called names based on our ethnic. racial or religious origins, you see sticks and stones may break our bones but names will never hurt us because we had self esteem and we understood people are different. We understood that taking chances meant just that you could win or lose, get hurt or die but life was meant as we understood to be lived to be experienced. Nothing was learned by being told what to do. You had to experience it. Insurance was an option because we didn't have millions of lawyers to support. If we kids got into a fist fight the police were not called. It was kids being kids and you learned that fighting solved nothing. Gun control meant that if you used a gun for a crime there was a law against it and you went to jail. You treated your teachers with respect or your parents made sure you did. If you didn't get picked to play on a little league team it taught you that some people are better than others at things and that was a fact you had to live with. Your parents didn't sue the coaches. We understood that doctors just practiced medicine they haven't perfected it and they were human. After school on weekends and vacations we played outside Cowboys and Indians, cops and robbers, war, sports or rode our bicycles. If it was warm out our parents told us to drink a lot of fluids. A/C wasn't around a lot back then and we understood that the pioneers who founded this great country did so by walking or riding horses across it and working in whatever type of weather Mother Nature dished out. They were not wimps why should we be. We swam in lakes, ponds, and rivers without lifeguards. If we wanted money for things kids wanted we got paper routes, sold seeds, cut lawns, shoveled driveways. In short we earned our way and didn't expect handouts. We said please and thank you, excuse me and I'm sorry. We swore too but never in front of adults. We snuck cigarettes and beers from our parents and learned first hand what it did to you. How the first puff on that cigar or cigarette turned you green. How too much liquor made you vomit and feel lousy for a day or two, in short we learned moderation. Try riding a bicycle after a few beers when you are in your teens and you learned first hand why not to drive drunk. When you played with fireworks you knew you could get hurt so you were careful. Most laws back then were based on logic with the majority in mind. Our parents understood that if you didn't make enough money you couldn't live in a nicer part of town. That wasn't considered discrimination but rather it was considered an incentive for you to get an education and a better job so you made enough money to do so. You didn't expect or require the government to use tax dollars to help you move into a nicer home. Back when I was growing up the government was not a re-distributor of the wealth. If you didn't have money for food or rent, your family, friends or churches helped you until you got back on your feet. Living on public assistance was not widely used and definitely wasn't considered a career choice as it is today. If you couldn't afford to have a child you didn't until you were able to. You didn't expect the government to pay for your child and then give you more for each successive one. We understood talent, intelligence, strength and other qualities were prized gifts from God and we didn't expect standards lowered. We understood that standards were just that, a measuring mark so that those with true gifts could see them and reap the benefits of the gifts given to them by God, not something to be lowered so that we could have a false sense of pride. When I was a junior in high school 7 of my friends were killed fooling around in a car. No drugs or alcohol were involved, rather the sense of normal teenage invulnerability. There was street on the outskirts of town where if you took the bump at the right speed, the car would become airborne. Many of us myself included did it and lived. They didn't. No crisis teams were sent to the school, we weren't coddled. We were told this was part of life. You are born you are going to die, some young some old but it would happen to each of us. It showed us our mortality. We weren't told there was a certain correct way to grieve, we had to learn on our own what worked for us, what got us through this sad time. We grew up a little bit more that day and learned to look inside ourselves for our own strength. A year later some of my friends and acquaintances were off to a tropical vacation courtesy of the U.S. Government to a country called Vietnam. Some made it back some didn't but once again we learned and grew up. During this same time time we learned about trust and belief in other kids, adults and the government. Some us marched in protests against the war and kept that philosophy forever. Some marched and changed their minds and some didn't march but later changed their minds. We went in all directions. We were learning to think for ourselves. We were brought up to respect the police. We were taught that you did what the officer said when they said it or you suffered the consequences. When someone ran from the police and there was a high speed chase no matter how it ended it was the person who ran who was at fault. If you tried to hurt or kill an officer and you were hurt or killed it was your fault. There were no organized parades in honor of people who tried to hurt or kill police officers. Again we were taught a simple logic, We The People needed some protection and so we gave some power to some people, it was called Law and those people enforced it. We found that for the vast majority of the times it was not abused and when it was logic again prevailed in that these people enforcing our laws are just that people, as good or bad as the rest of us and branding all of them bad because of one would be like saying all accountants are crooks when you find one embezzling. We remembered that these officers have to make decisions in a split second that the rest of us did not want to make ever and that was why we had them and when errors were made it was just that an error. As when you add a column of numbers incorrectly, so we didn't try to crucify them for mistakes. I played played with a neighborhood kid who was shot by an officer while he was running from a crime. No marches were held he should have just stopped. His family didn't try to get him sainthood, they were just embarrassed. You see they had true pride and self esteem that would not let them be false to what they knew was right. Hate crimes didn't exist, not because there was no hatred or bigotry but rather because we had faith that the vast majority of the people were good and by letting the others say whatever they wanted to, no matter abhorrent was fine because nothing would come of it except to show what type of sick individual that person was. We were also taught the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. That the right of Free Speech was very important and as our teachers were wont to say and the way I feel now, “I may disagree totally with you but I will fight to the death for your right to say it, because if they shut you up today, it might be me they shut up tomorrow” We were brought up on Westerns where you learned that a mans word was his bond and his name was all that he truly had and to sully yours would haunt you forever. They also taught us to make do, to depend on ourselves and not look for or expect help from anyone else including the government. A true man took care of his family then if he could, his neighbors and friends. Also we didn't go around whining or being a cry baby saying this isn't fair these people have all this and I don't. We were taught you worked for what you wanted or needed and didn't expect handouts. We were taught right from wrong and what was right was right and what was wrong was wrong. Lawyers and technicalities were the province of the weak, greedy and dishonest. We were taught that the U.S. Constitution guaranteed us life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, happiness is not guaranteed. We were told God created all people equal not the government and no matter how many laws they pass all people are given limitations by God, and men and governments cannot change that fact. We were taught to respect our elders and by that token to respect all People. I miss those days! Jim Neilson

Our Money

 

Look around your house, garden, garage ,workshop, look at your store. Do you wish you had the money to improve it or do personal things just because you want to?

You're earning money but what you're paid and what your paycheck is are grossly different. 

Taxes cause that. Some taxes are necessary for police, fire,  roads etc. Let's look what's not needed. The fancy offices and town halls, schools and more. Why do they have to be so top of the line when We The People who are paying for them are barely getting by?

Pensions and top of the line healthcare for civil and elected public SERVANTS when the people paying for them aren't getting pensions or top of the line healthcare. 

Don't forget all our taxes going to charities we may or may not support. Where is this allowed in the Constitution? I thought one of the reasons religions are tax exempt was because of their income going to charities. 

Let's not ignore regulatory agencies that issue regulations/laws that have fines and punishments attached to them.  Our laws, fines and punishments are supposed to be presented to us, discussed in public forums and then our representatives are supposed to vote on them according to what We The People want.  They are not supposed to be written up privately in closed rooms by civil servants and not voted on.

People remember every time you see the words government, funded it is nothing more than a lie pushed by the government and a complacent media. It is TAXPAYER FUNDED. The government produces nothing all it does is extort taxes and fees from the citizens. Seniors and retirees who have spent decades paying into these taxes and fees should now be exempt Social Security be tax free.

Welfare is a waste

 

All welfare does is train people to be lazy and demand and expect support from others while they do nothing to improve their lives.

I knew a woman in the 90’s who had a daughter and was on welfare. Her daughter turned 17, got pregnant and went on welfare.

Her mother is now off welfare in her mid 30’s healthy, average intelligence, has a car Section 8 housing, food stamps and welfare money. Guess what, she;s gong to lose all that. What does she do. Goes off birth control goes back to the bars starts bringing guys home wow all of a sudden she’s pregnant with no idea who the father is so guess what she’s back on welfare.

Birth control should be mandatory for everyone on welfare. There is no reason taxpayers should have to pay for other peoples kids and give them a raise every time they have one.

Take back the American government

 

The governments, local, state and federal have ignored their job which is to be the voice of We The People, the legal taxpaying citizens of America. Not the voice of other countries or companies.

What we have here is the government our Founders Freed us from in 1776.

Our elected and civil servants and a complacent media have since the government's start brainwashed the citizens through seemingly innocent words. The main ones being government Officials and government Funded. They are not officials, they are elected public servants/representatives or hired civil servants, they are the employees of We the People, we are not their employees or serfs, they are ours. Government Funded is a major lie and deceit. The government produces nothing all the money it has is extorted through taxes and fees, so the next time you see the words government funded know that you the citizens are paying the bill.

It is time we start doing our jobs and telling our servants/representatives what to do.

The most important way to do this is, all negotiations for any spending of taxpayers money are open to the public and the media. This includes all negations with public servant unions on pay, pensions holidays, down to and including the purchasing of toilet paper. If taxpayers money is being spent, if new ways to extort money from taxpayers are being discussed it should be illegal to do this behind closed doors. Just think how much our taxes could be lowered if actual negotiations

took place just as the do in the private sector. Remember private sector has to sell something so they need to keep costs and prices down. Our government doesn’t care about that they just raise taxes and fees.

It’s time our elected and hired public/civil servants/representatives are made to open to all negotiations and to listen to and follow the will of We The People Legal American Citizens.

 

It is very sad how the democrats, liberals and wanna be do-gooders actually hold down the people they claim they want to help.  Human nature being what it is, a sense of accomplishment in earning what a person has brings on a feeling of self esteem that grows in a person, bringing them pride and dignity in themselves and their ability to do something on their own.  The passing of the bill that provides licenses to illegal immigrants is just one more way the democrats have taken away the personal dignity of minorities in that what the bill truly says is that you are not good enough to do this on your own so we will take care of it for you.  Welfare is exactly the same thing it is the democrats/liberals telling people that they are useless and can’t take care of themselves so the they the liberals will.  Here’s your money never try to better yourself just keep re-electing us and we will keep sending you money and keep you from reaching your true potential.  Liberals have enslaved generations of low income people by this method.

Republicans and capitalists on the other hand have said work and earn the things you want. While all of us can't be millionaires all of can have the self esteem and pride that comes with doing and earning for ones self.

It is time the Democrat elected public servants start helping people find work, pride and self esteem by making Connecticut employer friendly so that private sector jobs will increase instead of enslaving them to the welfare check to keep their own elected positions secure.
