Left Wing, Right Wing and Tax Day or An Eagle needs both wings and guidance to fly...

By
Industry Observer

All I hear on the news channels today is either left wing or right wing this and that.

Both sides say they have the answer. Then there are those who want to be on middle ground, let's halve the difference. Give on this and we'll give on that... compromise. Consider this... our country's mighty symbol of freedom is the American Eagle. Ask yourself this... how would an eagle fly if he only used his left wing? How would he fly with just his right wing? An eagle needs both wings to fly straight and how does he do it in perfect balance to soar 10,000 feet above? He has a guidance system. Our guidance system is sadly missing from our government. That is why we have both wings taking over at periods of times and it leads to crash and burns.

We are heading towards the worst crash and burn in our country's history and we're still arguing over words. We are no better than Nero fiddling as Rome burns. Our own president just denounced the other viewpoint as being cruel and wanting to throw women, seniors and children under the bus. That is just simply a lack of guidance in my opinion. Just as the right wing pundits declaring that the left wants to destroy our country. ENOUGH!! Let's get real for a change!

Hear's the real news. We ARE broke!! The emperor has NO clothes. When you or I are broke, do we keep spending our money that we don't have?? How does our government get away with it? It is simply put, taking out more credit cards and paying the minimum payment to keep them coming.

Render unto Caesar what is Caesars. Money belongs to the government, let them have the money. We need to have our investments in what the government does not control or I should say own. People, land, gold and silver. I don't mean buy slaves either... your family, friends and all you have influence on are priceless to have in your life. You do not actually OWN your money. Every piece of paper and coin minted by our Federal Reserve, which by the way is neither federal or have reserves... they print what they need; is owned by them. We only have it in our possession to show that they owe us. They are IOUs, nothing more and nothing less. We are all holding on to paper or coins that are quickly losing any value, the value is all perception at this point.

Let's tax the rich. That should help fix the problem. Here's the problem with that. The rich are rich. They didn't get all they have by being stupid. They can afford to leave and flee at any time and go where it's more financially friendly for them to habitate.  They also run and own the large companies in the nation and when they are taxed more, they charge more for their products and services. Just look at the tobacco industry. Every time the government wants to try and help the people they tax tobacco (sin taxes they call it) and you know who really pays for it? The people who use the product! High prices on tobacco have never been the motivation needed for someone to quit smoking or chewing!! That is a FACT! I remember saying... when these things cost a dollar, I will quit. Which turned into if they ever reach $2. a pack, I'm quitting! Which turned into ... you get the idea... I think they were over $4. a pack before I quit and it wasn't because of the price. So when we tax the rich, they don't pay it, all the poor and middle class do. Taxing the rich is just words that help them get re-elected. And by the way, all those little mom and pop shop, self employed people like us are defined as rich. It's based on your gross.

So let the government run things for the Godless and let's just stay tuned into the real government, the Kingdom of Heaven. Render unto Caesar... and let me tell you all, that was extremely painful for us this year... to the tune of over 6 figures... and not because we earned more. We earned far less. We cashed out this year. We are totally in the Kingdom of Heaven now.

Abba, we praise Your holy name and ask for Your help. Please send us Godly people to rule over this once great nation and make her great once more. I declare this nation was seeded with a great and wonderful seed sent from Heaven. Our nation was founded on the Christian faith, founded in the Hebrew tradition not the Greek and we call for this to come back in force. We stand on Your Word and it has the power to set us all free. Thank You that You hear our prayers and love us even when we exhibit stupidity. I thank you that You factored that in when you saved us through the blood of Your son Jesus. Please guide both wings of our government and draw them closer to Your ways. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen and Amen.

FOR THE 15TH DAY OF THE MONTH PLEASE READ THIS: It's appropriate and applies to our current status.

Proverbs 15 (The Message)

GOD DOESN'T MISS A THING

  1 A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire.

 2 Knowledge flows like spring water from the wise;
   fools are leaky faucets, dripping nonsense.

 3 God doesn't miss a thing—
   he's alert to good and evil alike.

 4 Kind words heal and help;
   cutting words wound and maim.

 5 Moral dropouts won't listen to their elders;
   welcoming correction is a mark of good sense.

 6 The lives of God-loyal people flourish;
   a misspent life is soon bankrupt.

 7 Perceptive words spread knowledge;
   fools are hollow—there's nothing to them.

 8 God can't stand pious poses,
   but he delights in genuine prayers.

 9 A life frittered away disgusts God;
   he loves those who run straight for the finish line.

 10 It's a school of hard knocks for those who leave God's path,
   a dead-end street for those who hate God's rules.

 11 Even hell holds no secrets from God
   do you think he can't read human hearts?

LIFE ASCENDS TO THE HEIGHTS

  12 Know-it-alls don't like being told what to do;
   they avoid the company of wise men and women.

 13 A cheerful heart brings a smile to your face;
   a sad heart makes it hard to get through the day.

 14 An intelligent person is always eager to take in more truth;
   fools feed on fast-food fads and fancies.

 15 A miserable heart means a miserable life;
   a cheerful heart fills the day with song.

 16 A simple life in the Fear-of-God
   is better than a rich life with a ton of headaches.

 17 Better a bread crust shared in love
   than a slab of prime rib served in hate.

 18 Hot tempers start fights;
   a calm, cool spirit keeps the peace.

 19 The path of lazy people is overgrown with briers;
   the diligent walk down a smooth road.

 20 Intelligent children make their parents proud;
   lazy students embarrass their parents.

 21 The empty-headed treat life as a plaything;
   the perceptive grasp its meaning and make a go of it.

 22 Refuse good advice and watch your plans fail;
   take good counsel and watch them succeed.

 23 Congenial conversation—what a pleasure!
   The right word at the right time—beautiful!

 24 Life ascends to the heights for the thoughtful—
   it's a clean about-face from descent into hell.

 25 God smashes the pretensions of the arrogant;
   he stands with those who have no standing.

 26 God can't stand evil scheming,
   but he puts words of grace and beauty on display.

 27 A greedy and grasping person destroys community;
   those who refuse to exploit live and let live.

 28 Prayerful answers come from God-loyal people;
   the wicked are sewers of abuse.

 29 God keeps his distance from the wicked;
   he closely attends to the prayers of God-loyal people.

 30 A twinkle in the eye means joy in the heart,
   and good news makes you feel fit as a fiddle.

 31 Listen to good advice if you want to live well,
   an honored guest among wise men and women.

 32 An undisciplined, self-willed life is puny;
   an obedient, God-willed life is spacious.

 33 Fear-of-God is a school in skilled living—
   first you learn humility, then you experience glory.

What I cannot understand is that we have given them the power to stop all of this stuff and the Republicans don't have the back bone to say no to spending.

Cinnamon: Thanks for checking in... how's that beautiful little girl doing?
