I think there are two reasons for the existence of corporations, and only one is valid. The first and main one, is to raise money for enterprise, and give rewards for the investors. How could a railroad be built, unless there was a pool of investors’ funds to accomplish this? A corporation’s selling stocks […]
I love good quotes from famous people. Here are a few, which currently apply: “I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity, is like a man standing in a bucket, and trying to lift himself up by the handle.” – Winston Churchill “Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose […]
I can’t believe how smart I was 20 some years ago. Here’s chapter 31 of my long out of print book, which is pertinent today. Titled, “The Great Diesel Fraud.” ” For close to twenty years we have been robbed blind by one of America’s largest industries, at a huge cost to the consumer, […]
That’s what Karl Marx wrote about. We capitalists will sell the rope to hang ourselves, and we are doing just that. As you know, we took a week’s cruise down the Mexican coast, (and naturally I gained five pounds). We stopped at Barstow on the way to LA to board our ship, and being […]
That’s a wonderful word, freedom. Here in America, we’re free to go where we please, say what we please, and even write what we please. Government has grown all out of proportion to what the Founder’s planned, and Washington D.C. has indeed become very oppressive. It makes on think of Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration, which […]
The yearly holiday which memorializes the fallen warriors of wars past and present, is always a touching time for me. Sunday, PBS broadcast live, the hour and a half Memorial Day program from Washington D.C. I am sure it will be on A&E with commercials for two hours. The show was masterfully produced, and […]
“(1) The act of terrorizing. The use of force or threats to demoralize, intimidate, and subjugate, esp. such use as a political weapon or policy. (2) The demoralization and intimidation produced in this way.” That’s the way my dictionary (Webster’s Fourth Edition) defines it. “Terrorism” is all over the media. There is the “War […]
The Jerusalem Post says that according to overheard ’official’ conversations, Bush will invade Iran before his term is ended in November. If these are his plans, has he taken leave of what senses he might still possess, assuming he ever had any in the first place? Stop and think about it. Our troops are […]
Ugh! That’s the way I now feel about politics. I used to watch the Sunday morning news shows. Tim Russert, and the whole gang. All they talk about now is Hillary vs. O’bama, or McCain. Who cares? All three are disasters. McCain says he can win in Iraq by 2013. Isn’t than a grand […]
REPEAT: MY SON DAVID IS ON VACATION TILL MONDAY. FOR SERVICE, CALL ME, DON, HIS DAD, AT 1-888-786-8822 A one time client called me Wednesday, and I got his card out. He, on 5/12/04, (four years ago plus a couple of days), had bought ten ounce silver bars at $61 each. Today, they’re $174.60. […]
