Social Security Solution

Social Security Solution

Rush Limbaugh has been going over a story about tax reform and social security. I just caught some pieces but he was mentioning the idea of eliminating social security or it’s outdated, something along those lines.

Great! I’m all for it.

Send me a check for what you stole deducted from my pay check for the last 36 years and I’ll put it to work for my own retirement,  I can dump it in my own 401K and let it do it’s thing over the next 15 years of my working life. If I can shake out a minimal return annually I would almost double my money by the time I decide to call it a day.

Seems like a grand idea, where do I sign up? 

Of course this will never happen, social security is a scam that’s been pilfering off the middle class for decades with the promise of taking care of you in your old age. Take my advice, take care of your own retirement. You can’t stop your government from stealing from you and you can’t count on them taking care of you, they’re just giving you your money back at a diminished rate after the government parasites have moved it into whatever programs they see fit. It’s all a lie.

What’s Good For The Goose….

What’s Good For The Goose….

The left is screaming for Trumps tax returns, it seems to be the new talking point from Liberal HQ CNN. Obama-girl-Trump-tax-returns-Getty-640x480waters-trump-impeach-tax

 

Fine, as soon as Obama releases his college transcripts, Trump should go ahead and release his returns, fairs fair amiright?

I’ve been quoted in the media as saying that no one I’ve ever met at Columbia can remember ever meeting, or even seeing, our college classmate Barack Obama.    here…

Stacking The Deck

“There’s no question but that Obama would have been a one-term president but for Teddy Kennedy’s 1965 immigration act. Mitt Romney got a larger percentage of the white vote than Ronald Reagan did in 1980. But the country has changed so dramatically and so intentionally and artificially by government policy, that Democrats have an enormous leg up now. And if things aren’t done, you can say ‘adios’ to whatever your pet issue is, whether it is abortion or the budget or taxes or guns. Get ready to lose, because Democrats decided, ‘Sorry, America, we tried this the easy way. We tried to get you to vote for us, but you wouldn’t, so we brought in ringers. And they’re gonna be voting, tens and tens of millions of them’.”

The Good Old Days

The Good Old Days

This image took me back to my lineman days years ago. Cable television was just being offered and they couldn’t string it fast enough, my buddy talked me into going to work for an installer.

Most lines were in the right of way in the back of homes so you had go into the backyards even when the owners weren’t home. Try running from a german shepard with your belt and hooks on, I once cleared a 6′ tall fence all geared up with a Cujo on my ass, funny they wouldn’t go after you until you were halfway to the pole…..good times.   image found here

This image shows the lineman with a lasher that had just spun wire around the strand line and phone cable. The lasher was pulled with a rope by a groundsman from pole to pole, trees were a pain in the ass….along with dogs of course.

I ended up doing high tension power lines and was injured while installing a goats peak on the end of a long line of a helicopter in the Uncompahgre National Forest in southern Colorado thus ending my lineman days. Looking back I must have been nuts to do this work. No lower than dirt, no higher than corn for me now.

The image below is not me but that’s what I did, the sky crane is dropping a main body into banana shutes, (orange thingys on the ends of the four corners of the tower), the guys on the other tower are torquing the bolts, you had to leave them loose so the separate main bodies would be able to flex and fit. I had pics of the day I was hit but have lost them over the years. It was the most interesting work I have ever done…..crazy but interesting.
