Funny K.I.S.S.

Posted by antiDave on Thursday, February 26, 2009 2:37:33 PM
Found this in a forum today, beautifull.
 
For all you complainers out there, I plan on spending a lot more of your hard-earned money as soon as I can. How can anyone possibly think my $3 trillion of spending within a month of taking office is too much? I am just getting started. Just wait till you see my Universal health care plan. If there is one thing I can't stand, it is the American ability to make their own health care choices, rather than having them made by some bureaucrat in Washington. And if you think the pathetic healthcare system in Canada couldn't be improved upon, just wait till you see the months-long waiting lists for elective surgeries and MRIs that we will have in this country. I always said America will be number one in health care, and I am going to deliver on that promise, though not in the way you thought I meant.

I would like to give a shout out to my buddy ThinkAboutIt for explaining the need for higher taxes in this country to pay for my new spending plans. It is people like him, who evidently don't realize that the best way to avoid huge deficits is to not spend astonomical sums of money, that make my ecomomic plans possible. I would also like to thank JC for telling us how we all must sacrifice for the good of the nation and the community. Of course some of uss will have to sacrifice more than others; actually the only one's who will have to sacrifice anything are those making over $200,000 a year, and all of your grandkids. But that is years away, so why worry now?
I know, I know the "rich" already pay almost all the taxes in this country already and they are the ones that start businesses and invest the capital necessary to grow the economy, but it just wouldn't seem right if they weren't giving at least half of their income to the government; they should be working just as much for the government as for themselves. It was Thomas Jefferson I believe who said "The Goverment that governs best is the one that governs most" or something like that. The colonists in this great country of ours started the Revolutionary War because they felt England wasn't taxing them enough. After all, the rich should thank their lucky stars we aren't taking all of their money. It is a privilege in this country to keep the money you worked hard for. Anyone complaining about high taxes is greedy and just plain unpatriotic. That is why Timothy Geithner, Tom Daschle, Hilda Solis's husband and Charlie Rangel always pay their taxes on time and in full.

And if anyone has the nerve to complain about the supposed unfairness about of my economic plan, I will play the class warfare card, just like my pal Dan M. Why care if the other guy is having his money confiscated if it is not effecting you? I mean this totally goes against the whole notiong that we liberals like to push about share burdens and so on. If he supports me, I don't care how much of a hypocrite he is. As for not caring about the other guy, that is why you should totally discount the talk about future generations having to foot the bill for my awesomely high spending bills. Who cares? After all, "future generations" are not you, are they? So let's live large now and let someone else's grandkids pay for it all.
I would like to give another shout out to my main man, Short Term Memory, for calling Republicans hypocrites for complaining about deficits when they didn't say a word about the spending done by Bush. Of course, I and most other Democrats did complain about the record levels of spending done by Bush, so I guess that makes us hypocrites too, but that shouldn't stop us from using saying "I know you are, but what am I" every time someone claims I am spending too much.

In closing, I would like to reassure all of my followers, or acolytes as I like to call them, that your patience will be rewarded. We soon will be enjoying a robust economy just like the French.

Nostradomus K.I.S.S.

Posted by antiDave on Thursday, February 26, 2009 12:55:45 PM
   Prepare to be amazed as I predict the future. Actually, it is very simple. Our country is like a family living beyond its means. And now father says, we will get more credit cards and stimulate ourselves into better times. This is a good strategy if your ultimate goal is bankruptcy and you have a bulletproof plan to hide "your" assets. Our country does not have the bankruptcy option, unless we want to deny future generations of Americans their birthright. Hmmmmm?, nah.
   I am sure most street level liberals truly believe they can make the world better, more fair, by enacting their policies. Many of their ideas are noble ideas, worthy of discussion and implementation. It is mostly the overstepping of the constitutional limits placed on the federal government, way in which they wish to execute their plans most conservatives have a problem with. We would rather see 50 state programs competing to provide the best, most cost effective models.
   The future is simple. Like the family above, things will look better while we are spending the new credit cards, digging ourselves in deeper. Employment will tick up and trumpets will sound, but the real measure of our economic success is our national balance sheet, which is not heading in the right direction. It defies common sense, hence the claim that no one can do this but the government. So things will seem better, headlines will start to cooperate as we head into a new election cycle. But it will just be another bubble, and a mountain range of debts.
   If I were purposefully trying to destroy a country, I would divide the citizens into groups, pit the workers against the owners, break the ties to its religeous moral anchor, bury it in debt and impossible to sustain entitlements, and then just watch the news. So I wonder, who are our politicians really working for?

Financial Crisis Blame KISS

Posted by antiDave on Tuesday, February 24, 2009 11:06:41 AM
   If you don't closely follow politics closely or you are a Democrat you probably blame Bush for the financial mess we are in. Hate to burst your bubble, check out this video and see the facts. Warning to liberals, you will need to go into full reality denial mode. Check out the video here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63siCHvuGFg. There is tons more if you have the time to watch the actual senate hearings, but you will get the facts on record from this.
 
   Does anyone really think banks would have risked their money on bad loans without the government forcing them.
 
   Also, get into dinars. They will be great unless Obama exits Iraq in such away to destabilize the progress made this last couple years. it has been won, and only the messiah can blow it now.

Techy K.I.S.S.

Posted by antiDave on Sunday, February 22, 2009 8:54:58 AM
   Cloud computing is here. What is it and why should I care? To keep it simple, think of google apps. Their server provides your browser the functionality of their program you are using. Great way to save money money, you don't buy software and your computer does'nt need big horsepower either. Every tech company is hopping on the bandwagon and their will be many great investment opportunities. That said, stay away from the cloud. It is a horror movie knd of cloud. No matter how secure from external hackers a company may be, the threat to your data from company misuse or an internal security breach is undeniable. 
   
   If you just need to save money on software, their is plenty of open source and freeware to be found. I recomend keeping valuable personal data on a removable thumb drive and running all your own software on your computer as you have always done.

LIBERAL K.I.S.S.

Posted by antiDave on Saturday, February 21, 2009 4:01:34 PM
   Liberals like to make it seem that they are the one who really care about people. The evidence demonstrates as usual, the truth is what the opposite of what a liberal believes. Read "Who Really Gives", by a couple of surprised liberal Harvard professors. You libs need to understand, we believe in a lot of the same things, just instead of 1 set of rules from on high, 50 competing states. That is the secret to our success as a nation. However, as our founders remind us, our form of governent is only suited for a moral people. Which is another simple topic to be addressed at a future time. So liberal reader, why is it smarter to have the federal government making all the rules as opposed to allowing the states to address their citizens concerns.

Housing Plan KISS

Posted by antiDave on Friday, February 20, 2009 3:15:42 PM
   If you read my previous post, my first, you will be aware of a 12 month, income tax free, period of prosperity in America. During this period, You will be paying no income tax. If you can't afford your house during this period, you can't afford that house. Time to downsize, it is completely natural. This is a great time to be a home buyer. The American people will not tolerate outright socialism for long and there is no where else for the BIG money to go. Times will be good, we just have to figure out how to get around this new government intrusion and make investment worthwile. Hunker down, diversify, challenge yourself, and as always, be the best person you can be.

Todays K.I.S.S.

Posted by antiDave on Thursday, February 19, 2009 4:47:01 PM
A real stimulus plan.
Eliminate personal income tax, reduce corporate tax rate to 7.5%, then in 12 months, Institute a national sales tax of 22% on everything except food under $10 per pound and clothing under $30 per item.  Also any primary residence is tax free, investment property will be 2% max.
It will be a hefty 1 time cost, maybe 1.3 trillion, however, the sale on making money would create an environment so beneficial to business investment, our biggest problem will be getting enough workers. The 12 month period will provide the time the market will need to find the true bottom of product prices, before we return to paying taxes.
Can anyone give me a better way to create permanent jobs?

Hello!!

Posted by antiDave on Thursday, February 19, 2009 4:35:45 PM
I love the phrase, Keep It Simple Stupid. It is one of my rules of happiness and with it, I have been able to truly realize the American dream. Hardly the perfect picture, I never fit any mold. I was in the marines at 17, Had my own small remodeling company at 21. Got big enough I was able to sustain my first 15K beating, by a local minority contractor, I was a subcontractor on. That hurt my family and put a sour taste in my mouth for playing with the "big boys" and government projects. After having my first child, a boy, I bought my first computer. First, it would make my company look more professional than my direct competetors and second, I knew that computers would be a part of my childs life and I wanted to be helpfull to his future.
   Well, It turned out I just kind of get computers, I got out of construction and started a dot com when it was free to get a dot com address. Now one more boy later, I deliver medicine to seniors, comforted in the fact I have no mortgage and live in a fantastic school district. I love to read news, and have a good understanding of street level thinking. I'm a street level guy.
