Would You Accept Government Food Assistance If You Won The Lottery?

Lucky Amanda Clayton, 24, recently won $1 million dollars from the Michigan State lottery. The interesting point about Amanda is that even after winning the lottery, she is still using her “Bridge Card” for food.  The Bridge Card is essentially a $200 a month state funded food program (food stamps) for people who have lost

Is Discrimination OK If You Aren’t Being Discriminated Against?

Is discrimination OK? Hell no it’s not OK! I’ve been discriminated against ever since I came to America in 1995 and I’ve had enough. I think many people have had enough in 2020+.

Let’s Prevent The Government From Hurting The Poor Even More

The 53% figure refers to the percentage of working

“We Are Wall Street” E-mail Fights Back Against Main Street

We have a culture of blaming others for our problems and Main Street is now on a tear with this “Occupy Wall Street” movement that’s gathering steam. The thesis is that financial institutions and anybody who has anything to deal with financial institutions are bad.  The government and the media help fuel the fire against Wall

Take Advantage Of Unemployment Benefits And Milk ‘Em Dry

This is not an educational post. Instead, this is a post about discovery since I don’t quite understand President Obama’s American Jobs Act. One of the key initiatives of the jobs bill is “extending unemployment benefits further” given how bad the labor market is now.  I’m in full support of this ~$450 billion dollar bill,
