Ok is it just me or does everyone hate the fact that we are held ransom by credit card companies. Granted we got ourselves into this debt but to increase percentages just tightens the noose around families struggling to make their payments thus fueling more of the foreclosure market. These companies also share a portion of the responsibility by offering easy money to struggling people. Maybe decreasing credit limits would work better than increasing interest rates. Increasing interest rates is more profiteering on big business part.
Reality Check : I am not against making a profit but profiteering needs to be stamped out of the economy if anything is going to improve. Greed hurts everyone.

Ok, this bugs me.
I am not in favor of limiting internet usage caps. With the advent of more people using the web to watch different media streams and the emergance of more and more home based businesses capping usage will only hamper the development of such technologies.
Ok I dont use my web for file sharing and the likes but the caps they are talking about are ridiculously low. Comcast at least gives a fair amount of bandwidth usage but ATT seems to want to squeeze its customers for every cent they can. While I agree there are some that abuse the system at least make the caps something that will affect them and not your everyday household user. The limits are so small that customers will now have to guage how many movies they stream from the internet or from sites such as netflix.
While people may say that 20 gig a month is alot now in the next few years with the emrgent technologies coming on the market, most sites going for media rich content and the devlopment of web based office productivity suites I feel we will soon see that the big communication giants fleesing our pockets.
This is going to be a big cash cow for the corporate media giants. Think of it if a company has 4 000 000 consumers and the average consumer goes over their bandwidth allocation by 5 gigs lets say, that is an extra $20 000 000 for the company at ATT proposed $1.00 extra per gig. Good business profiteering.
Maybe they should consider upgrading the network capacity rather than limiting usage, maybe reinvest that money in building better infrastructure to handle the new information demands of the 21st Century.
Reality Check : Restrictions slow down or in some cases kill progress, and to those users abusing the current system stop it!!!

Let me make it clear. I wanted to put his link up on my website to be fair to you all just to have a look at what he says. It is the first time I went to his website and the first page I was greeted with was a donate now page. Ok to me that speaks volumes about the policies of the party and the man. The first thing I am greeted with is a request for a handout. Wow. Do not tell me anything about your cause just go for my money.
I honor the man as a leader but i do not agree with his policies.
At what point did we turn this beautiful country into a socialist state. Socialist states have never worked. Take Zimbabwe for example. Highest inflation on record, Mass unemployment, corruption and nepotism. All of these are the consequences of a government who felt they could do better than the people and now it abuses the people. What once was the breadbasket of Africa is now the basket case of Africa.
It is time to stop punishing people who succeed by increasing taxes. Encourage responsible spending by the wealthy. That will create jobs and give men and women the opportunity to work and be proud of providing for their families and doing something with excellence. Excellence should be rewarded. With reward comes responsibility.
Its also time to stop profiteering by big business. I am not opposed to making a profit but there is something wrong when companies make billions in profits year after year and the average person is put in a place of struggling just to survive. Greed should never be tolerated. Maybe companies that make over a certain percentage in yearly profit should be forced to reinvest that profit back into the communities. Hey how about a reduction in prices sometime? Granted I am shooting from the hip right now but cant we get more creative at providing solutions for families so that they too can succeed and not have the hard working folk slave away while guys at the top get a practical free ride and act like demigods.
Reality check – Socialist States do not work. What costs you nothing means nothing. What you have invested nothing of yourself you will not look after and ensure its success.
