Who is Richard Nelson

I am.

All joking aside. I'm a common guy. I have two kids and wife. I work a forty hour a week job, read a lot, try to play guitar, and love my God, my family, and my country with all my heart. I served in the US Marines for eight years. I believe that it's incumbent upon every American to take action to make this place better. I believe that it is our mission to protect the values that made this country great. I try herein to dig into the issues at hand and provide insight from and to the common man with regard to what is going on with this great nation. I believe that the average American DOES have the intelligence and wherewithal to understand and deal intelligently with complex government issues; I believe that it is our moral imperative!

Economic Stimulus - Again

Today President Obama will be traveling to New Hampshire to push his new economic stimulus. President Obama is suggesting that Congress take 30 Billion that was paid back by the larger banks and pumping into smaller banks so that they can increase lending to small businesses. Everyone agrees that small businesses are the tool to help stimulate and grow the economy. Everyone agrees that small businesses need help.

Did we as a nation already learn what this Administration does to businesses and banks when they lend money? Didn't we already see? Please write to your senators and congressmen and remind them how this Administration stepped in and basically took control of these entities. We do not want the White House running what they've already taken over much less making a power play to take control of small banks and businesses.

We just heard in the State of the Union that those banks who took bail outs should be able to pay extra money to help the taxpayers that bailed them out. That's code for another tax. That's how this Administration punishes those who may (or may not) have needed help. With this example, how can we trust that President Obama will not do the same with small businesses? Taking control or over taxing the small business community will kill them.

This may sound good on the surface because we'd be helping small businesses but look deeper. Look at the examples that we have before us and you'll see that this is bad. This is bad for the people that you know, for your neighbors. Your friends and neighbors are the little guys that we are talking about this time.

Don't be naive and believe that only those who take money will be taxed or controlled. The President's Administration instituted policies to allow them to take over banks that did not take money. President Obama is going to tax ALL large financial institutions, not just those who took the money. Follow the actions, not the rhetoric.

This is actually a brilliant move on behalf to the Obama Administration. Stop and think about this for a minute. First, He can take the money from the "evil" big banks and give it over to the "little guy." Second, American's will love this because it helps the small businesses. If you wish to change over to a Socialist economy, you need to have control of the entities that generate jobs and income. To do grab this control you must have support from the populace. If the populace despises these entities, they'll gladly give over control. As it pertains to Big Business and Wall Street fat cats, this is complete. Grabbing control of small business is the next step. American's may never despise the little guy but it won't matter when they're beholden to the government in the form of debt.

What will the government do with all of this control and money? They'll give over the entitlements programs which will make American's dependent. Dependent upon the government health care, social security, and now the jobs that they will control.
