The people with money are the ones that are spending it. We’re taking money away from them.
The people without money are the ones that are either:

• Spending it foolishly. Such as a 1.5 million dollar house on 40K/year job
• Just don’t make enough to buy beyond essentials
• Soaking up welfare because they can.

The easiest way to get our country out of a recession (once again, in my opinion) is to stimulate the economy with everyone making more personal money – and then spending that money for themselves. Not taxing them. Taxing people will do nothing but piss everyone off, while attempting to solve a very longterm problem with a shortterm solution.

"But Rob, where the hell are they going to get the money if they don’t raise the taxes". Here’s what I propose.

Lower everyone’s taxes a third. That means if you’re currently taxed 30%, you get it lowered to 20%ish. This will help give everyone more money back, and will put enough money in people’s pockets to pay for more items. I’ll give you a hint – the reason people can’t pay for a house they qualify for is mostly because of either one of two things.

• First: the broker qualifies them too high. This sucks, but happens.
• Second: The taxes lower them under the required monthly, where it’s either mortgage or food.

What the US Government should do is legalize weed. I forget which site had it – but it was a major news outlet – that stated that Weed has a projected 1.5 BILLION dollars in taxes a year if they legalize and tax it in California alone . Imagine if it was nationwide? That’s at least 50 billion dollars of annual revenue off of weed taxes alone.

So let’s do the math.

• 50 billion dollars of annual revenue from legalizing weed.
• Lower everyone’s taxes a third which still stimulate buying in the economy
• …Profit

This is a very simple way to fix it, and personally – I’d like to stop seeing my taxes go up. Not only that, but paying 30% when I’m under 60K is damn rediculous especially when I know there are people abusing my money with government handouts. ‘Nuff said.

I have to admit, this read on WickedFire about Gary Thiem is quite hilarious.. Apparently he wouldn’t stop calling one of their members and trying to offer him a car loan. Are you serious? You’re trying to get a car loan to people that run leads to auto offers (most likely also car loans). Geez. Looks like WF > * again. Next time make sure I guess it’s not a WickedFire member you’re messing with? Today, I definitely saw the power.

Personally I judge success the most by the affect of my actions on others. Did I brighten up his day? Was I able to help her out with a problem she was having? Most of my activities I do now a days involve helping people in some way. Most of the time I spend at work usually helps people out in one way or another, but most of the change and outreach I have is achieved at home.

This could be by assisting someone with a PHP script or helping with optimizing a site for SEO. There’s a lot of people that I currently mentor for their beginning journey into Affiliate Marketing. I like to think that I’m helping them change their life, and from what I’ve seen so far – I am. They get excited when they have their first $100 profit day, but I get even more excited. It proves that I can help change the lives of others through not only talking but education.

My definition of successful changes almost weekly now as my life itself begins to change. Money becomes more of a factor on some weeks, and then almost nothing on another. It’s amazing how big or small of a factor it can be dependent on how much of it you have. I often think of the saying: "It’s like air. You don’t realize how much you need it until it’s gone".

I was looking through my logs and I saw I got a hit from Google about the search term Finding Robert Adler … yeah that confused me. I started to look into who this Robert Adler character was and why he was trying to be found. I shortly after came across a website called FindingRobertAdler.com which looked like a new movie that would be coming out very soon.

I started looking into this movie and found a forum named EMotionDV which appeared to be a forum for up and coming movie producers (college students and the like). I really didn’t look around too long but I figured I would put this plug up for Tom and help his site get ranking above that pesky Geocities for their own term.

Hope this helps Tom, and great luck with the production!

PS – I always knew I’d be followed, but broadcast in movie format … nahhh…

Snag a copy @ http://www.Google.com/chrome !!!

The owner (and Head Instructor) is Jonathan Tissue. He is very knowledgeable on ALL aspects of Martial Arts from San Shou and Tai Chi to Advanced Self Defense. Heck, he was named the WORLD Kuoshu champion twice now – and a really cool guy to talk with. If you don’t understand something, he’ll explain it until you do. There’s no "you’re hopeless" in this facility!

The other instructor that I have experience with would be Ines Quintana. She’s very experienced, and a silver/bronze medalist for 2002, 2003, AND 2004 for USKSF International tournament in weapons sparring. She’s a great example of a "down to earth" teacher that helps you learn it on the first try.

These are the only two instructors that I have had experience with, but two out of two A+ quality instructors in my opinion isn’t bad!

Check them out!

Also a shout out to his band Passing Time (also known as the Passing Time Band ). If you’re ever near one of their shows, go see them – it’ll be worth it.
