Thanks, gotta debate for what I believe is right!

Just saw your comment on the $100K/Unemployment related post. I replied and left you a follow up post highlighting the thousands of people everyday making $100,000+/yr, and they’re not even working! Go America!

Evening Len! Thanks for the shout out, and I’m glad you enjoyed the rejection article! Believe it or not, you and I are much more alike than you think regarding the need for limiting the government. In fact, I have a nice little category on my site entitled “Big Government Love” where if you read carefully, you’ll hear my sarcasm as to why I’m in favor for less government.

I firmly believe the US government has a spending problem. And because we have a spending problem we have a taxation problem which I point out in the Flat Tax article. Also, how can we not think a like with one of the articles entitled, “Do Higher Taxes Lead To Socialism in America?”!

It’s just when it comes to helping people out… those who really need a helping hand like the thousands of unemployed people in America, where I am absolutely for the government doing whatever it takes, spending whatever it costs to give people an opportunity to survive! I do realize you were making light of the situation with the funemployed. I’m just a passionate debater!

I need to start doing a weekly round up!

Best,

Thanks for the props . . . BOGO = “Buy One, Get One.” I was reluctant to use the acronym until I saw that my local grocery store promotes its “BOGO” deals. I figured that the phrase had crossed into common parlance. Well . . . now you know.

You have an informative and interesting blog. Bravo!

Cheers!

David

Thanks for the shout! This post is actually picking up a bit of steam. This surprises me a bit, because it seems like such a simple concept to me…but I guess until you actually DO it, it is meaningless.

Always appreciated Len.
