China's Smoking

Smokin' away!

It seems that America is under a new Red Scare.  This time, it's about China.

Politicians from Obama to Bohner feel that China is getting ahead of America.  Just from last week's State of the Union address Obama incited this motivation that we need to do big things.

Now to calm those pessimists, China has a smoking problem.  Economist and health experts predict that an estimated of 2 million people will die each year from tobacco-related problems in China.  By 2030, that could rise to 3.5 million per year.

According to the article, there are more than 300 million smokers in China.  That's a lot of wasted productivity.  If each smoker wastes about an hour smoking each day, that would be over 101 billion man-hours lost of productivity each year.

Sorry China, but that's a lot of wasted time.

My name is Joe the Plumber

I am insulted by Obama and Biden when they shoot down the Joe the plumber and his dreams, they are killing and stopping on millions of Americans Dreams. My dream is one of them. Bringing in socialism to America will be proof that Russia/Soviet Union won. What is Putin going to say now?

AT's Discussing Points

A friend of mine (AT) created and states this list of points:

1) Obama associates with previously known people who have connections to terrorist groups (aka guilty by association)
2) He lies about his relations with groups such as ACORN
3) He wants to create jobs, but for who?--- the government
4) He wants to tax the "middle class" and working people and distribute this money into federal programs (why should the people who don't work hard and just feed off others get the successful people's money?)
5) He is a one world/government guy (Too bad this is AMERICA)
6) He isn't even American and is actually Arabic so all of the black people who vote for him because he's "black" and whites who don't want to feel racist shouldn't have to anymore

Why would you Penalize success?

According to Obama when addressing Joe the plumber, he would take his wealth and redistribute it.

Obama is proposing that government should penalize success and reward failure. This would ruin America and the American Dream! There would be no reason why to be successful. It would make America socialist!

What is the American Dream?

The American Dream is what this country is found on.

This is the land of opportunity.

It is why we fight and shed blood for others.

It is the idea that if we work hard, there will be opportunities.

If you commit yourself, you will succeed.

If you give all you got, you will see what is at the end of the tunnel.

You got to do it. No one else will hand it to you.
