    Interesting comparison... US vs UK

    Those high taxes kill the work ethic. No point in working when they are going to take it all away!

    Interesting comparison... US vs UK

    I remember many of my English/British friends who ran businesses over there would often close down if they were going to earn too much money in any given week. Once they went past a certain point the rest went to taxes. That eased up a bit after Thatcher lowered tax rates. IF if remember...

    Here it Comes Again...But Worse This Time

    But it is not. The congress does not oversee much of anything these days other than their own paycheck.

    Palin's Emails Released.....

    I do believe that Obama was given a bit more of a "free pass" than many other candidates were but none are vetted to the degree that they should be. The press COULD be less skewed if they wanted to be but they are out to press an agenda, all of them, and that does not bode well for us.

    Gates blasts NATO, questions future of alliance

    Investment in context of building new plants, etc. Congress is a big problem and lack of any direction, good or bad, compounds their stupidity. A 35% business tax is a killer. That needs to be more like 10-15%. NATO funding should be equalized.

    Alabama passes strict immigration law

    No Greg, you are wrong. There is a distinct line out there where the US has jurisdiction to and then the Canadians take over. There are laws out there too and they are NOT being followed. But, as you say, if it does not affect you that is just OKEE DOKEE. Right? You are allowed to fish in...

    Alabama passes strict immigration law

    You better never fish the Detroit River, fishermen and hunters are pulled over all the time out there and they have to produce their papers. I cannot remember the form that we are required to carry out there. It is a immigration form. A passport is ok as is a Nexus card. Don't get checked out...

    Not only guns

    It gets more stupid every day. It is going to soon be illegal to own any "item" that MAY be used in an illegal manner. Funny, the "acts" that these "items" are used for illegally, assaults, murder etc, are already illegal. That fact did not stop crime. Why does anyone believe that passing more...

    Palin's Emails Released.....

    No, Fox is not the "press" neither are any of our so called news outlets. They are all out just for ratings or pushing agendas. Other wise Obama would not be in office. Neither would have the bums we have in there.

    Palin's Emails Released.....

    Any emails that pertained to state business are fair game. If personal emails were sent on "official systems" so are they. Only purely personal from personal computers are exempt from the public eye. Same goes for any politician. IF a politician is stupid enough to post on public forums, like...

    Here it Comes Again...But Worse This Time

    Government intervention is just as bad. Things like government backed sub-prime mortgages, government buyouts and stimulus packages do as much or more harm than the Fed. Government needs to be trimmed down and brought under control and the Fed needs to dry up and blow away. Along with the...

    Alabama passes strict immigration law

    First off, there is no such race as "Hispanic". There are people who speak Spanish from many different countries, races and religions. It is NOT racial. What those who are here legally need to do is start standing up and help stop the illegal movement across our borders. Just as the...

    Alabama passes strict immigration law

    That is why they do it. Makes it far easier to pass bad laws that way. Call things "mean" does the same thing.

    On Spot Automatic Chains

    We are 30,000 curb weight but single screw. We do have a locking diff. That was the only time we have had a problem. It was hard on the hands for sure.

    so much for convenience...

    I am lost but that is nothing new. Maybe we need to get a really big island somewhere, call it Pharmaland, have all the research done there, no national taxes. No army, no roads, no welfare to support. Just pure research without any government interference. Governments could set quality...

    Alabama passes strict immigration law

    I know what was meant. I don't like the term "racial" to start with. I don't believe it is all about race, but, we do have a problem to be sure. I think the term "racial" in politics is just to make opposing ideas bad from the get go and no other reason.

    On Spot Automatic Chains

    We have had to lay our chains down in front of our tires in a truck stop lot, once. It was at the Pilot in Brooks, KY. Ice everywhere and 33. A fine sheet of water on an uneven ice sheet. Automatic chains would have been nice that day. My hands were numb and sore once I finally got moving and...

    Yeah, I feel pretty good today, except for the truck stuff. :D

    Alabama passes strict immigration law

    I understand, but there is a problem. There were not 12 million illegals from Poland or Italy. It is those who choose to ignore our laws that are causing the problems for those who do it right. Regardless of the country they come from, race or religion. There is not an easy answer. First the...
