War On The Middle Class
I've been trying to decide if this "site" is more democrat or more republican. To be honest I expected it to be all very far 'right', But that's not what I've seen.
I don't follow the news much, for I don't think anyone is covering the news all that well, what with everyone's own agenda. Don't take this as an outright endorsement for CNN OR Lou Dobbs.. But I read a Lou Dobbs editorial the other day and I thought it was quite interesting. He has a special report coming out October 18 about the "War On The Middle Class" Quote:

Always left or right
When a society can vote itself entitlements and the people can vote a tax
on the business to pay for those entitlements the country hurts and small business and working people pay the large part of the tax that feeds the system and the dead beats that are on the public dole. Flat tax and no work no pay not including the handicap or impaired. I am for a third party with some teeth in it but every election Dems and Rep both try to look like that moderate candidate at least for the election time. Nov will sure set the tone for the next two years. God Bless the USA |

If by chance this site turns out to lean "left" or "right" then it is solely a reflection of society, "the good, the bad, and the ugly" as it were. In other works, this site is what all of you make it to be. All we can do is to provide the framework and free bandwidth and simply hope that it "catches on" and advertistors choose to support it. If you like what you see, please help spread the word....pass it on. Last edited by geodood; 10-17-2006 at 11:23 PM. |

Who is Geo ?
I think I saw him at the bus stop ? I think he is a swing voter and he may
have voted for Ross Perot :-) and the band is still playing in the room at top of the stairs ! |

But seriously, I did want all SBLive members to know that this site is built and owned by local programmers, and we have no political affiliates, affiliations, or agendas whatsoever other than to support the local community. One more thing, Schumpert and Hal Sutton Foundation are simply advertistors (bless their heart) and otherwise have no affiliation with SBLive! Anyone can advertise or sponsor any available group on this site. If you know any local businesses who may be interested, please "spread the word....pass it on".

Well thank ya there Kansast and Geodood. I've enjoyed the site thus far, hoping to see the site grow, and get some more opinions on here.
I'll do my best to "pass it on". Rough Rider |

We keep plugging away at it, adding new features like "joinable groups" and "weather portal". We are not stagnant and out of excitement we probably launched the site a little early. But that's ok. It is hard to have a "content aggregation" site without any content! We had to start somewhere! Thank you once again for your contributions RR. With members like you on board, I really do believe we will make it. Last edited by geodood; 10-19-2006 at 12:43 AM. |

Flat tax
This will help the Middle class fight back now. Every man that can work should work and pay his or her taxes. The handicap and elderly are the
exception. |

Back to the war on the middle class.. I'm sick to death of the current political climate.. Democrats and Republicans .. they like to bring up these wedge issues.. Gun Control, Abortion to name a couple.. these things that DIVIDE us.. and things we (the american public) will NEVER agree on. Let's work together on things that affect us all. Affordable health care, securing our borders.. Improving our schools etc.. and let's stop sending ALL OUR DAMN jobs overseas.
It seems that I "may" have been accused of being an "isolationist" recently on these boards.. nothing could be further from the truth.. I fully understand that we live in a Global Market place these days.. But I don't see how allowing American Companies to send all their jobs overseas is supposed to help me, an avererage American citizen ???? o.k. done with my rant, sorry. Rough Rider |

>I don't see how allowing American Companies to send all their jobs overseas is supposed to help me, an avererage American citizen ????
You don't see how allowing private citizens and businesses (which are owned b private citizens) to spend their money where and how they want helps all American citizens? And why would the interests of the "average American citizen" outweigh the interests of the below-average American citizen or the above-average American citizen? How about one rule that everybody has to follow? The government doesn't tell you where to buy what you want (goods and services) so why should it tell businesses owners where to buy what they want (materials and labor)? If you've ever bought a product manufactured overseas or shopped in a store that stocks them (which basically means if you've ever bought anything in your life) then you're just as "guilty" as a company that purchases labor from overseas. |
