By Brad G On December 17, 2009 No Comments

Ben Bernake Time MagazineIn Response To: Time Magazine naming Ben Bernake 2009 Person of The Year

10. Ben Bernake has secretly spent trillions of American Taxpayers Dollars since being named Federal Reserve Chairman.

9. Ben Bernake has the job of being the largest counterfeiter in the world. He has they keys to print up money whenever he wants and does not have to be held accountable. If you started printing up money without telling anybody do you think you would go to jail? Probably so.

8. His monetary policy has flooded the market with money. When this happens you get a devaluation of the American Dollar and inflation. Check out this inflation calculator. Put in 2006 as the start date as this is when Bernake was elected. As of today the inflation rate is at 7.3%. Did your income go up

The Top 10 Reasons To Close The IRS

By Brad G On February 4, 2009 4 Comments

1. Nobody likes the IRS. If there is a person out there who actually likes sending in their tax returns every year they must be an alien. The only people who like doing this are people who work at the IRS because it keeps them employed.

2. It is unconstitutional. No where in the U.S Constitution does it make it legal for the U.S Government to tax its own citizens. However, one of our greatest Presidents of all time never has this brought up against him. Good old “Honest” Abe Lincoln was the ass clown who brought the IRS (then Bureau of Internal Revenue) into existence with the Revenue Act of 1862 to help fund the Civil War. Obviously he did not get the chance to stop this theft from its new citizens when John Wilkes Booth killed him. Government liked this new found revenue from all of its

The Top 10 Reasons To Say “So” Or “So What”

By Brad G On December 17, 2008 No Comments

1. You are President Bush and have all of the power in the world to do whatever you want. When asked about the war in Iraq you admit that Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations were not there in the first place. When you get called out by the news reporter about this gigantic mistake all you can say is “so what.”

2. Your Vice President Dick Cheney and when told that over 66% of the American population says the War In Iraq is not worth fighting you reply with “so.”

3. You are so blown away by #2 that you decide to make a top ten responses video on why VP Dick Cheney should care “so” much about the United States.

4. You are named after your favorite color (Pink) and don’t care about all of the

The Top 10 Reasons To Drive The Speed Limit

By Brad G On November 17, 2008 No Comments

1. Last week I was driving to Detroit Metro Airport for some out of town business. Driving on I-94 I noticed a bunch of police cars. It was a little strange to me because it was around 11:30am. I am use to the early morning speed traps and the after noon ones but not at 11:30am. It was a little much. Four Michigan State Troopers were parked about 1/4 of a mile away from each other. Of course one was sitting behind a guard rail far enough back where you could not see him until you past him. The next one was the chase car. He was pulling people over that the first police car had radared. The classic hide and go seek tactic.

2. Getting back from my trip the other day my girlfriend picked me up at the airport around 7:30pm. Driving back on I-94 the

The Top 10 Reasons Why Unemployment Compensation Should Be Eliminated

By Brad G On November 15, 2008 No Comments

1. The State of Michigan has decided to raise the unemployment tax rate to all of the businesses in the state. The Detroit News reported it and it just shows how messed up things really are in Michigan.

2. Some 40,000 businesses all received a letter stating that they need to pay more into the fund to help cover the amount of money going out to unemployed workers. I know if I was a business owner how pissed I would be. They already own a business in a state where the economy is the worst in the nation.

3. The unemployment debacle is only going to get worse over the next year or so. GM, Ford, and Chrysler are all on the brink of going bankrupt and do you know how many more people are employed by them?

4. Interestingly enough, the Detroit News had another Click here to continue reading



The Top 10 Reasons Why I Wrote In My 2008 Presidential Election Vote For Ron Paul

By Brad G On November 5, 2008 2 Comments

1. After doing lots of research in who I thought would be the best pick for President this year I was able to come to a clear choice. Some of the major issues to me were taxes, the economy, the War thing going on in Iraq, health care, and foreign policy.

2. I have never considered myself a Democrat or a Republican. In the last election I voted for John Kerry mainly because I did not like George Bush. Last time I voted I was making $8 an hour busting my ass off for nothing just so I had enough money to make it up into the mountains in Colorado every weekend to go and “Shred the Gnar.” I did not care about anything else. I was 23 and just wanted to live. The only issues

The Top 10 Reasons To Have A Voter Education Course

By Brad G On October 29, 2008 4 Comments

1. With the 2008 Presidential election around a week away it is starting to come down to crunch time for the candidates and the United States. This is being built up to be one of the biggest Presidential elections of all time. I really do not know why this one is any bigger than any of the past elections at all. Is it because of the economy? Is it because of the war in Iraq? Or is it that there is a person running for office who looks a little bit different than the preceding Presidents?

2. My friend Dave and I were at a bar this past weekend with some of our friends and their wives watching the Michigan/Michigan State Football game. The topic of “who are you voting for came about” while Michigan State was starting to beat up on Michigan. He replied with “I don’t

The Top 10 Reasons The U.S Government Should Become A Mortgage Lender

By Brad G On October 7, 2008 2 Comments

1. With this never ending housing/mortgage fiasco going on we need to take a look at some ways to correct the situation. With the U.S Government deciding to pass this stupid $700 Billion Bailout Plan which was supposed to correct the instability in the stock market (we all knew it was not going to work as the stock market has dropped below 10,000 points for the first time in 4 years since after passing it) with the U.S Government buying up all of these bad loans. Doesn’t the U.S Government print up this money in the first place? How did they let it get to this in the first place?

2. The mortgage lending system kind of works like this. The Federal Reserve has the power to set interest rates and to determine when they should open up the spickets to flood more money into the economy (thus

The Top 10 Reasons Why Congress Should Not Pass The $700 Billion Bailout Plan

By Brad G On September 30, 2008 2 Comments

1. If Congress passes the $700 billion bailout plan this would be one of the biggest mistakes ever in the history of the United States. It blows my mind to think about how we even got into this situation but its probably why I write about the mortgage industry so much. If this stupid bill gets passed it could ultimately lead to the end of the United States as we know it. What’s that you say, the United States can’t fail? I understand what you are saying. Hey, do you think you could go over to Europe and talk to somebody from the Roman Empire for me? I want you to ask them how the most powerful civilization in the history of the world is doing. Just one person, that’s it. What’s that? There is no Roman Empire anymore? How could this be?

2. I am not sure on the exact

The Top 10 Reasons To Not Vote For John McCain

By Brad G On September 9, 2008 4 Comments

1. I would like to start this off with saying that I do not support Barack Obama at all. You can read my reasons to not vote for Barack Obama and agree or not agree. If anything there should be even more reasons to not vote for Barack than McCain but I am going to try to be fair. Well, maybe not. I don’t believe either candidate is going to change anything during their terms if they were to be elected. There was one candidate who was running against John McCain for the nomination from the Republican Party but obviously did not get the nomination. He did not get the recognition he deserved and its mainly because this guy did not get any love from the major media networks. I am not going to tell you who this was right now but
