AMERICA, LET'S WIPE OUT HOMELESSNESS

hello america! our country has always been divided by three: those at the top that don't want you catching up to them; those in the middle aspiring to reach the top; &, those at the bottom just happy to make ends meet. it's always been that way &, will always be that way. obama & 50 more like him can't & won't change it. in fact, obama campaigned on a promise to help the "middle class" & tax the wealthy-"the high class"-he has yet to say anything about those living below the national poverty level "the low class". & THEN, WE HAVE A CLASS OF HOMELESS PEOPLE WE LIKE NOT TO TALK ABOUT AS IF THEY ARE NOT THERE.

every city in america has them &, we either shun them or, begrudgingly help them with donations of clothing, food &/or money to the agencies that help them. regardless of what we do or don't do for them, they are not the subjects at dinner tables---no, we talk sports, or movies, or what wall street did, or what the big boys are doing. when we're warm & eating well, the conversation about the homeless is forbidden at the dinner table. we'd rather talk about that ding-bat actress-ashley judd-& her bashing sarah palin about the wolf killings & yet, this ding-bat supports partial birth abortions. (JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU HOW STUPID SOME OF US HAVE BECOME THAT WE CAN CARE MORE ABOUT THE WOLF POPULATION THEN HUMAN LIFE)

i said all that to say this:::in the greatest nation on earth (until obama gets through) we should not have a homeless problem. regardless of the economy, we should strive to wipe homelessness out. yes, there are those that are homeless because they refuse to conform but, the majority of them are homeless because they fell through the cracks.

let's keep it real:::the only time most of us hear or see them is thanksgiving & christmas & that's only because the politicans take that time to do photo-ops with them at the feederies &, then tell us of their feeble efforts to stop homelessness.

homelessness is a national problem & obama never addresses it. our elected officials never address it outright. yes, they do provide some funding to some of the agencies that help these people but, that's about it.

america, please answer me this...would you rather have your tax dollars going overseas to fund abortions or would you rather have them here helping the homeless?

SMALL BUSINESSES, IS THIS ABOUT RIGHT?

hello america! please (&, i don't say that often) allow me to take you on a journey based on common sense............................ prior to writing this, i posted the bill that recently passed the house (from gop.gov) & noticed nothing in it to help small business---this is the second bill that excludes federal dollars to help them---

let's say i own a pizza business---pizza by knowitall
let's say i pay rent/lease but, do not own the property
let's say i have 8 employees plus 2 deliverypersons---yes, that's 10
let's say i make payments on a loan for all of my major equipment ie: ovens, fryers, freezers,
coolers, a big hobart mixer, sandwich-making station, soda refridgerators, tables,
chairs, a pizza-making station, 2 52" flatscreen tvs &, a fire retardant system
let's say i have to pay utility bills monthly ie: gas, electric, water & sewage, phone, cable &/or
satelite & garbage disposal
let's say i have to pay monthly for employee health care, employee liability insurance, workmans compensation insurance, employees unemployment insurance &, insurance on my
equipment & services plus an issurance maintenance fee
let's say i have to pay for advertising
let's say i have to pay daily for my produce, bread, soda, etc
let's say i have to pay weekly for my dry goods
let's say my business is set up in an industrial area (24/7) with very high visability
let's say my menu consists of pizza, hoagies, dinners, salads, appetizers, breakfast & beverages
let's say that because of the downturn with the economy, my business has slowly been doing less & less business every day. i've lessoned some my employees hours & find myself
putting in 14-20 per week to compensate &, this is causing a strain on the home-front. i
can't change my hours because of my contract with the industrial developement office
&, i can't afford to raise my prices & maintain the current list of repeat customers. I am
trying not to lay anyone off. i've cut everywhere to save a penny but, it's not helping.
i've gone to the same bank i've been dealing with for the last 10 years & can't get a loan,
&, i'm slightly behind on my payments to them. in fact, they sent me a letter to repo
some of my equipment. WHAT DO I DO?

i depended on obama (NOT ME) to help me out of this mess but, he's doing nothing for
me. it's as if he forgot all about us small business owners. & yet, he talked so much about
helping us when he was campaigning. i am at my wits end. obama seems more
interested in spending taxpayers money on foreign abortions then helping me. was i
wrong in trusting him with my vote? (NOT ME)

at the rate things are going, i will lose my business, which will cause me to lose my home
& probably lead to me losing my family.

america, i feel for you because many small businesses are facing this very problem & obama has no plans to help or save you. besides, in reality, he doesn't need you now & won't, until 2012.
