Hurricane Ike Update & The Election

Well folks I can not believe we are so far out from Hurricane Ike and it is still on the agenda. I know there are people that have it a whole lot worse than myself, but it is frustrating situation. First I want to send an over due very warm thanks to Mike over at Morgan-Lee Supply in Dalton, GA. He so graciously sent us a generator. It allowed to get things back up and running much quicker.

Mike and his wife Tammy are wonderful people. I met them while teaching a class some time back. They also are photographers and operate Houston Studios Photography. It is great to have such generous people as friends.

THE ELECTION


This Is a very heated and highly debated election this year. Rightfully so. There is so much at stake. Terrorism, taxes, the economy, energy, and illegal immigration are just a few. It is important to know why you are voting for someone. It is even more important to do so without regard to party politics.

This one video is the turning point for me. I can not believe in today's economy we have someone speaking like this. Taking more money out of the economy in tough times has been a proven failure. It is basic economics they teach high school kids. It is so irresponsible, I can not imagine having someone without a clue to be leader of the world's greatest country. It is bad leadership for Americans and bad for the world.

I hate to be political here, but I believe there is too much at stake. I will make one more post on the topic I found interesting in a few days. Then after that I will leave it alone, but I feel this information has been largely ignored by the press. You really can't argue with words out of the horses mouth.

Who will this effect? The richest? No... If you are investing in the stock market your going to feel the hurt. If you and your significant other both pull down $42K a year (the median income for the country) you will be pulling down $84k a year, and be considered rich in America.

My dad pull down less than $50K a year but is invested in stocks. He will see a big raise on his taxes as well.

I am just sayin'.

Enjoy!
