Excellent! Could never have said it better!!!!!

It is well known your position on gun laws; there will never be enough until only the government and of course those who will have guns regardless of laws have them. The point of this thread is; had the laws not been in place then the thugs (yes, I know they are just misunderstood poor people that rob and steal because they are hungry and the rich hoards their money) may have thought twice about robbing this couple. Had the gentleman had a weapon he may have had a fighting chance. Your position of allowing only the government and thugs ownership of guns make people such as this man a target.

Interesting that you would raise up Henry Ford. It is common knowledge that Ford revolutionized the world of t***sportation and mass production with his Ford automobile plants that started in the United States and expanded into other parts of the world. What is not as well known is his fervent hatred towards Jewish people (a hatred shared by fellow super-financier J.P. Morgan) and Ford's f**grant financial and political backing of Adolf Hitler.

Ford's big wages was a sham, about half of the money paid was profit sharing, and the employees had to prove they were living upstanding and moral lives to get that extra pay. The automaker, with his anti-Semitism and intrusive social engineering, was deeply kooky.

But according to Stephen Meyer, a labor historian and professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, "Ford didn't pay so much because of beliefs about enriching workers. He had no choice."

According to Meyer, "in 1913, the year before Ford doubled wages, the turnover rate at his plants was 370 percent. In contrast, Walmart's turnover rate today is said to be 100 percent annually, still a very high number by today's standards."

"They wouldn't stay," Meyer said "they h**ed the work and they would just walk off the job or not show up." That meant that to maintain a workforce of 13,000 to 14,000 employees, the company had to hire 52,000 workers in a year.

It is also important to point out that car manufacturing was seasonal, most automobiles were sold in the spring. Therefore, there was a season for building and then prolonged lay offs. Ford's ability to pay ensured that when fall came, there would be ample people looking for work.

Henry Ford was not a C*******t, he h**ed Jews; was financial backer and friend to Adolf Hitler.

Companies pay what they must. When you hear that a large employer, whether it be Henry Ford or Costco, pays more than necessary, it generally doesn't mean that company is good-hearted. It means that company is good at public relations.

I do recommend that you read Meyer's book and some of his papers on economics. They are very educational.

Very much appreciated!!!

Hello Mr. Ed,
I have no doubt that you could do just what you say, hit both in < 2 sec!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

It was also in the New York Daily News. Is that also a Right Wing News?

Roger, My dear friend would you be so kind as to use the quote reply button so we can know to whom you are replying. Thank you!

Merry Christmas

I ordinarily do not say this after reading just one post, but I sure do like you. I do not agree with your plan, but I think you are very smart and an excellent communicator!

There are reasons that you plan can not work; plans such as yours has been tried in the past and to the orchestrator's chagrin, well the only thing that happened is prices went up on everything, ergo the increase in salary only left the people in a worse bind than they started. Because now they are paying more taxes. Equaling less money in the pocket.

But, I do admire your effort!

Merry Christmas and please keep posting!

There was one other condition that you are not considering. What if the wife was armed and trained. I would not hesitate to shoot if someone I loved was being threatened! And gentlemen/ladies, I am trained and qualified.

Good for you! With practice, the name calling will not even enter into your thoughts! Glad to see you as a good example! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Good Day Richard,

Wherein it is true that the job of a president is difficult and a break from it is good, except when the vice is also inept. There are few that would say that a family should not vacation. But, in 2010 - 2011, Ms. Obama did rack up quite a bill for herself and their children. Take for example:

GIRLS' TRIP TO SPAIN: AUGUST 2010
The exact cost is unclear as Mrs Obama and her 40 friends footed many personal expenses, such as hotels and meals themselves.

But the U.S. taxpayer would have paid for the First Lady's 68-strong security detail, personal staff, and use of p**********l jet Air Force Two.

Per diems for the secret service team runs at around $281 each - nearly $98,000 for the length of the summer break.

Use of Air Force Two, the Air Force version of a 757, comes in at $149,900 for the round trip. This does not include time on the ground.

Mrs Obama's personal staff, of which there are an unknown amount and might cost considerably more per day, should also be taken into account.

CHRISTMAS BREAK IN HAWAII: DECEMBER 2010

According to the Hawaii Reporter, the bill for the $1.5m trip included:

$63,000 on an early flight bringing Mrs Obama and the children to Hawaii ahead of the President.
$1,000,000 on Mr Obama’s return trip from Washington on Air Force One.
$38,000 for the ‘Winter White House’ beach property rental.
$16,000 to rent nearby homes for Secret Service and Navy Seals.
$134,000 for 24 White House staff to stay at the Moana Hotel.
$251,000 in police overtime.
$10,000 for an ambulance to be on hand at all times

SKI TRIP TO VAIL: FEBRUARY 2011

Mrs Obama and her daughters stayed at the Sebastian hotel on Vail Mountain, where rooms cost more than $2,400 for multi-bedroom suites.

The family appear to have flown there on Air Force Two.

They were escorted to the resort by a motorcade of about a dozen vehicles, including 15 state and local law enforcement officers

SUMMER HOLIDAY ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD: AUGUST 2011

The Blue Heron Farm estate, where the Obama family are currently staying, rents for about $50,000 a week.

According to U.S. News and World Report, the Coast Guard is required to keep ships floating near the property, the p**********l helicopter and jet remain at the ready and security agents will be on 24-hour duty.

Obama's vacation for 2012 cost the tax payers $20 Million
Obama and his family have spent quite some time on vacation: "Criticism of costly p**********l trips hasn’t deterred Barack Obama from setting a pace to establish a new White House travel record, even as the sequester continues to impose across-the-board cuts in federal spending.

“If the president travels in his second term at the same pace he did throughout the first, he will have spent 190 days abroad during his time in the Oval Office,” a recent study by the National Taxpayers Union concluded. “That would put him behind only George W. Bush and Bill Clinton as the most-traveled two-term presidents.”

I will not bore you with more facts. But, should you care, just gooole Obama and vacations..... you will get an eye full.

Tell me, if he cares so much for people in poverty, then why not travel to his mother's house and send those millions to the poor? A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS can feed quite a few people. Or could go a distance in providing for our veterans.

A warm welcome to OPP, I look forward to reading your posts and comments.

How very sad! I see that he was laid to rest yesterday. There is no description released of the suspects, although it would seem that the wife gave them one.... Dustin was shot 4 times. All for protecting his wife. Had he been able to carry...........
