WHAT THE LEFT REFUSES TO UNDERSTAND
Even when it's written in easy to understand concepts. Sad, really. They refuse to look at reality and nearly choke themselves scarfing down that Kool-aid so fast! This is a REAL letter. Some lessons about big government and capitalism. The "Occupiers" -- and the Left in general -- need to take notice!
----- Original Message -----
To All of My Valued Employees,
There have been some rumblings around the office about the future of this company, and more specifically, your job. As you know, the economy has changed for the worse and presents many challenges. However, the good news is this: The economy doesn't pose a threat to your job.
What does threaten your job however, is the changing political landscape in this country. Of course, as your employer, I am forbidden to tell you whom to vote for - it is against the law to discriminate based on political affiliation, race, creed, religion, etc.
Please vote for who you think will serve your interests the best. However, let me tell you some little tidbits of fact which might help you decide what is in your best interest. First, while it is easy to spew rhetoric that casts employers against employees, you have to understand that for every business owner there is a back story.
This back story is often neglected and overshadowed by what you see and hear. Sure, you see me park my Mercedes outside. You saw my big home at last year's Christmas party. I'm sure all these flashy icons of luxury conjure up some idealized thoughts about my life. However, what you don't see is the back story.
I started this company 12 years ago. At that time, I lived in a 300 square foot studio apartment for 3 years. My entire living space was converted into an office so I could put forth 100% effort into building a company, which by the way, would eventually employ you.
My diet consisted of Ramen Pride noodles because every dollar I spent went back into this company. I drove a rusty Toyota Corolla with a defective transmission. I didn't have time to date. Often times, I stayed home on weekends, while my friends went out drinking and partying. In fact, I was married to my business -- hard work, discipline, and sacrifice.
Meanwhile, my friends got jobs. They worked 40 hours a week and made a modest $50K a year and spent every dime they earned. They drove flashy cars and lived in expensive homes and wore fancy designer clothes. Instead of hitting Nordstrom for the latest hot fashion item, I was trolling through the Goodwill store extracting any clothing item that didn't look like it was birthed in the 70's.
My friends refinanced their mortgages and lived a life of luxury. I, however, did not. I put my time, my money, and my life into a business -- with a vision that eventually, some day, I too, will be able to afford these luxuries my friends supposedly had.
So, while you physically arrive at the office at 9 am, mentally check in at about noon, and then leave at 5 pm, I don't. There is no "off" button for me. When you leave the office, you are done and you have a weekend all to yourself. I, unfortunately, do not have the freedom. I eat, ****, and breathe this company every minute of the day. There is no rest. There is no weekend. There is no happy hour. Every day this business is attached to me like a one-day-old baby.
You, of course, only see the fruits of that garden -- the nice house, the Mercedes, the vacations. You never realize the back story and the sacrifices I've made. Now, the economy is falling apart and I--the guy that made all the right decisions and saved his money--have to bail out all the people who didn't.
The people that overspent their paychecks suddenly feel entitled to the same luxuries that I earned and sacrificed a decade of my life for. Yes, business ownership has its benefits but the price I've paid is steep and not without wounds. Unfortunately, the cost of running this business, and employing you, is starting to eclipse the threshold of marginal benefit, and let me tell you why:
I am being taxed to death and the government thinks I don't pay enough. I have state taxes. Federal taxes. Property taxes. Sales and use taxes. Payroll taxes. Workers compensation taxes. Unemployment taxes. Taxes on taxes. I have to hire a tax man to manage all these taxes and then guess what? I have to pay taxes for employing him. Government mandates and regulations and all the accounting that goes with it, now occupy most of my time. On Oct 15th, I wrote a check to the US Treasury for $288,000 for quarterly taxes. You know what my "stimulus" check was? Zero. Nada. Zilch.
The question I have is this: Who is stimulating the economy? Me, the guy who has provided 14 people good paying jobs and serves over 2,200,000 people per year with a flourishing business? Or the single mother sitting at home pregnant with her fourth child waiting for her next welfare check?
Obviously, government feels the latter is the economic stimulus of this country. The fact is, if I deducted (read: Stole) 50% of your paycheck, you'd quit and you wouldn't work here. I mean, why should you? That's nuts. Who wants to get rewarded only 50% of their hard work? Well, I agree which is why your job is in jeopardy. Here is what many of you don't understand: to stimulate the economy you need to stimulate what runs the economy. Had the government suddenly mandated to me that I didn't need to pay taxes, guess what? Instead of depositing that $288,000 into the Washington black-hole, I would have spent it, hired more employees, and generated substantial economic growth. My employees would have enjoyed the wealth of that tax cut in the form of promotions and better salaries. But you can forget it now.
When you have a comatose man on the verge of death, you don't defibrillate and shock his thumb thinking that will bring him back to life, do you? Or, do you defibrillate his heart? Business is at the heart of America and always has been. To restart it, you must stimulate it, not kill it. Suddenly, the power brokers in Washington believe the mud of America are the essential drivers of the American economic engine.
Nothing could be further from the truth and this is the type of change you can keep. So where am I going with all this? It's quite simple. If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, my reaction will be swift and simple. I fire you. I fire your co-workers. You can then plead with the government to pay for your mortgage, your SUV, and your child's future. Frankly, it isn't my problem anymore. Then, I will close this company down, move to another country, and retire.
You see, I'm done! I'm done with a country that (with the help of the press) penalizes the productive and gives to the unproductive. My motivation to work and to provide jobs will be destroyed, and with it, will be my citizenship.
While tax cuts to 95% of America sounds great on paper, don't forget the back story: If there is no job, there is no income to tax. A tax cut on zero dollars is zero. So, when you make decision to vote, ask yourself, who understands the economics of business ownership and who doesn't? Whose policies will endanger your job? Answer those questions and you should know who might be the one capable of saving your job. While the Main stream Liberal media wants to tell you "It's the economy Stupid" I'm telling you it isn't.
If you lose your job, it won't be at the hands of the economy; it will be at the hands of a political hurricane that swept through this country, steamrolled the Constitution, and will have changed its landscape forever. If that happens, you can find me in the South Caribbean sitting on a beach, retired, and with no employees to worry about.

Traveling with Technology
in this age of rapidly multiplying and equally perplexing technologies, and all of its cords, cables, and peripherals, one can see how consolidating everything into a simple "mark" or other small, portable device would make sense to many.

Texting while Driving
You've done it; I've done it.
Texting while driving.
Even I (as an adult) know how distracted I am when I do it...the thought of teens doing it, too, terrifies me, and is why, if I feel I must text, I try to do it only at stoplights. Even then I'm worrying about the guy coming up behind me. But with cars and cell phones coming out with more and more ways to keep you "connected" to friends and family, it's inevitable that horrific accidents like this are bound to happen:
http://news.yahoo.com/no-cellphones-no-texting-drivers-us-urges-212935010.html
It seems the war on texting is on, but it wouldn't surprise me if this eventually morphs into someone trying to keep tabs on what you do in your own car...entering that data into a database somewhere...and having that data feed through to your insurance company, where, based on your driving habits, they might see cause to drop you like a hot potato.

IN A NUTSHELL...
Every now and then I will add a post that ties together some of the things that are happening in the world as they relate to end times. Each of these things, on its own, seem harmless, useful, interesting, even fascinating, but when you see them all together you will know that something is...not right. And these are only pieces of the plan as it comes together to deceive and enslave us.

- Today, computers are so ubiquitous--small, easy, portable, fun--and do so much for us that we now cannot live without them
- Computers are integrated into the internet, TV, our businesses, movies, radio, live audio, as well as our homes, appliances, cars, etc.
- Computers are now so smart that their intelligence verges on that of the human mind, and may even someday surpass it
- Everyone seems to now have a computer or cell phone, which makes for easy tracking. Our cellphones are tiny computers that can track us, guide us, help us shop, spend, search, talk, eat, drink, etc., everything but offering us privacy
- Cameras are now everywhere (buildings, intersections, police cars, gas stations, ceilings in stores…as well as in your pocket)
- We have cameras that can now "see" and "hear" through walls, and are being used by the government
- Wireless/wi-fi is becoming ubiquitous in society and in your home
- Your drivers license has a magnetic data strip on the back used for information tracking, and you have to use your thumbprint to renew your license, which is a privacy issue.
- Everything in your car is now computer-driven. Taking your car into the shop may not require new parts or pieces, but a software upgrade, to help keep things running smoothly. Most cars after 2010 will have their own "black box" device planted in the engine system, similar to airplanes; which can track your every driving move.
- GPS is everywhere and in everything: phones, Cars, Trucks, Trains, Planes, Buses, Computers
- Credit card companies and banks have access to all your private financial info; these same company can sell your information to the highest bidder
- Doctors and hospitals have all of your medical history in computers and can sell this information to others as well
- If your medical professional is unable to keep up with technology, he/she can be fired for it even with the best bedside manner
- Cashless tollways can track and monitor your driving style, direction, speed, date and time
- No system is 100% hack proof. There are always going to be those who take pleasure in "besting" the best security systems
- Because of the portability of cell phones and integrated data packages, land-line phones are quickly becoming a thing of the past, even cordless models are not falling away
- Thanks to groups like WikiLeaks even our most important state and national secrets are open for all of the world to see, chipping away at our country's security
- As more devices become smaller, faster, and more mobile, the need will increase for for LESS cords and cables, in order to make everything wireless as well as being able to integrate with other computers, peripherals and electronic devices wherever and whenever it's needed.
- In a nutshell, because nearly all websites now require passwords for everything, it's becoming more unwieldy to try to remember all necessary passwords. And because passwords are now required to be more complex for security purposes (upper/lower case+numbers+symbols), it's almost a given that no one will be able to remember them all. So if someone goes "old school" and writes them down somewhere, there is a chance that they will be stolen/hacked/lost. Additionally, because there are so many different types of credit cards out there (gas, bank, credit, retail, cafes, memberships, grocery stores), the clamor to come up with a "one size fits all" password/security/payment device will become ever louder. With society's growing electronics sophistication, the ability to make this device small, easy, portable, and all-inclusive will be foremost in its design. This is where the mark of the beast starts to look more and more desireable: think of it, a simple, permanent mark that will enable the user to buy anything whenever and wherever, without the need for cash or credit card, yet will be able to track us like GPS and keep track of purchases like a credit card or bank. Plus this mark will give the ability to log into computers, drive our cars, open doors, and use any public services, simply with a swipe of the hand or the scan of a forehead.
- If necessity is the mother of invention, the time will come soon enough when a device of this nature will become a necessity.
Famous denomination welcomes paganism
Before the antichrist makes his appearance, the lines between Religion (with a capital R) and "earthly" religions (paganism, animism, goddess worship, earth worship) will become more and more blurred as all-inclusiveness and "tolerance" are pushed upon us all.

Occupy has learned from Hamas
it never ceases to amaze me that if the Right pulled one iota of any of this crap, we would be villified, crucified and we'd never hear the end of it in the news. The left may be strategically superior at times, but it doesn't make them less evil, and these tactics ARE.

technology will be the death of us all
I've said it 1,000 times: technology is great, when it works.
When it doesn't, the fallout is one massive headache. So when the East Coast U.S. has a nearly 6-magnitide earthquake, and the systems can't even keep up with THAT--what with everyone texting and Tweeting--what's going to happen when there's a REAL emergency?
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/08/24/quake-exposes-cracks-in-cell-phone-coverage-emergency-response/
Personally, there have been numerous occasions where I'm about to get my Twitter on, only to be confronted with the dreaded: "Twitter is over capacity."
Say what?
You think they'd have all of that figured out by now. Funny how technology zooms ahead at the speed of light but the systems that support it, and the people needed to run it, don't ever seem to be able to keep up!

where all the women at?
When you are short 160 MILLION* females due to selective abortion, infanticide, and decades of forced "one child only" laws, eventually the ugly consequence rears its very ugly head.
What is one to do in a country like China where women are scarcer than hen's teeth?
One joins the military, of course. And the consequences of THAT will eventually lead to the Gog and Magog of the Bible: an army of 200 MILLION marching against Israel. This is just the beginning.
