AWMA's Stand Up To Obama

Doesn't $50K out Of My House Cover My "Fair Share" For What...About Twenty years???


I'm sorry.

(OK I'm really not sorry...)

I know that I sometimes brag about living large (even in the days when I was letting Pat pay most of the bills and I was leading the charge slinking around the world enjoying the good life on a marginal well conceived, pre-planned cost basis...BUT...)

What I want to talk about right now in the current national calamity is the explanation of how our whole circumstance is FAIR when you look into the future?

But I digress...

I haven't admitted it here on this blog until right this very minute, but I'm sorry to report that I walked off the elevator into my glitzy office building on December 19th and learned that my company here on the banks of the Mighty Tennessee River was by-God closing down.

That day.

Right then.

Ten of twelve of the slowly sinking numbers of staff (that was 17 when I got there) put out on the street with little chance of making another dime before like--February 1st?

Everyone but the Owner and underachieving VP boy on the street Friday before Christmas (with the silly angry bitch accountant chick retained on an hourly basis to count the money coming in and out...mostly going out)

I stayed to 5:30 because I had drawings and calculations going out coincidentally that same afternoon, but in the mean time I ran home and brought back a bunch of moving boxes and a couple rolls of tape to assist in the exodus.

Then we spent Christmas in Kansas City anyway...sticking our thumb in the eye of fate and of all things...having confidence in OUR own personal responsibility for our situation and our ability to find something else profitable to do without waiting on the freaking GOVERNMENT to help.

So today Pat and I are forced to live out of savings...savings reduced by nearly $50,000 just in the past year by taxes--paid to the GOVERNMENT and getting us what in return?

Oh...I know...how about my ongoing investment property/construction debacle broken into in Brunswick--most likely by "minority" or other "disenfranchised" members of our society--taking a couple thousand dollars of construction materials including lumber and prehung doors, and the local Police department only grimacing and rolling their eyes as they took the report of the incident.

"shut up silly white boy and go back to your island and stop trying to build clean affordable housing in a ghetto...don't you know that's the GOVERNMENT's job..?"

And now the GOVERNMENT forces me to watch an endless debate about increased taxes and banking bailouts and "$500 stimulus checks" miraculously causing a turn around in the flagging economy.

Funny thing...in the year before I came back to work here on the banks of the Mighty Tennessee river I didn't report enough "Wages" on my tax return, so I didn't get a stimulus check. You see, I've been living the past decade mostly on rental income and the profits earned buying and selling real estate.

And so now I'm a great big old TARGET for the IRS and the Obama socialists.

That's right...they want to raise MY taxes--specifically my CAPITOL GAINS TAXES, from their current 5% to 15% rate up to the same marginal rate they charged me on my income last year.

If Obama and Pelosi get their way, I would have paid at least another TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS in taxes last year on the sale of some investment property, and then today I'd still be looking in my mailbox or bank account and not seeing any regular income because my job went away in 2008.

Funny thing, the engineering company I worked for did work primarily for customers building Coal fired power plants for people like TVA, Duke Power & Southern Company and for companies making Coke for steel mills.

Needless to say that I sure was happy about our new president's pre-election comments about wanting to "put the coal companies out of business" and he and his fellow Democrats' support for wild eyed bullshit boondoggled subsidies for Wind, Bio-Diesel and "alternative technologies" while we're sitting on top of the biggest coal supplies in the ENTIRE WORLD.

And another thing...

You know what paying last year's $50K federal taxes and a lifetime of paying "unemployment" taxes, not to mention at least another $50K of property taxes in three states gets me IF and WHEN I finally accept a GOVERNMENT "unemployment" check?

In Tennessee it maxes out at $275 a week...the equivalent of about $6.88 an hour paid to a guy that hasn't earned less than $20 an hour since the mid 1980's.

I stooped down to the level of making the application on line, but I haven't received nor cashed a single check, and given a couple of things happening here in the next ten to fourteen days I'll be mailing any funds I received back to the GOVERNMENT bastards.

Yes I've been "unemployed" in the past, but it was usually by choice or default. I've never spent a single day of my life collecting "unemployment", and my "22 week" eligibility" and my giant potential payout makes it even more unpalatable right now.

This is unbelieveable total GOVERNMENT shit...people. They're screwing us coming and going, and blaiming everyone but themselves after the fact.

I just wish all the AWMA's out there (Angry White Male Americans), the very people that built this country in spite of the text of the current history books, would stand up and tell their own stories like mine--hopefully displacing some of the stupid mindless rhetoric that's out there being delivered each day by the liberals and the liberal media.

These son-of-a-bitches do nothing but create problems, then create stupid solutions that only cause more problems in an endless cycle of social engineering.

I say we need to build a fence around Washington DC, close down all of the public housing and Gitmo, and move the "detainees" and "downtrodden" and "disenfranchised" inside the fence and let Obama and Pelosi and Reid live with them on a day in and day out basis. They love them, let them live with them rather than taxing me, throwing my money at them, and then going home under Secret Service guard to read the NY Times and contemplate their next Government induced "good social deed."

While they're at it let them PAY for their upkeep...

and in the process leave me and my wallet the hell out of their charitable experimentation.

...dammit.

(PS...I'm confident that everything's going to be OK here one way or the other. Chances are we're able to stay put on the banks of the Mighty Tennessee River, and if not I have a couple of irons in the fire back along the Atlantic coast of Florida. I stumble with unfortunate frequency, but I always land on my feet.)
