					<description><![CDATA[To CD Smith:

It does me good to address your question. We as a society have become relaxed when it comes to political misdeeds. While these misdeeds affect us deeply, such as this economic downturn caused by Wall Street’s greed (highlighted in the The Fix This Time @ http://www.thefixthis.com ), we tend to brush them off and place what hope we have in a positive future in the hands of the same wolves who took us to cleaners in the first place. Well, it ought not to be that way! Somebody has to come along and say, “Hey, there is a reason why we are in a Great Recession and here are those reasons and here is what we can do about it.” I know that is a heavy lift because the reason the public gets misled in the first place is because they ignore the truth. Nevertheless, I have taken this task of exposing a $2.7 to $3.0 trillion dollar theft of our hard earned payroll taxes from the Social Security trust fund most seriously. The reason why is if we can call attention to and fix this one misdeed, the world will never be the same. We would have literally changed the world as we know it. You say how is that? Money is power! Placing the power of money, $2.8 trillion dollars to be exact, into the hands of working Americans changes the dynamics of the United States economy in a positive way and when this economy changes, the world economies change. Thus, we have the power to literally change the world!

					<description><![CDATA[James Davis,
I don&#039;t question the validity of your idea but you are putting the cart before the horse.   

What incentive do the members of Congress have to enact your idea? What ever more you earn, they are just going to raise taxes to take it away. 
An well known economic concept,  Laffer curve proves that low taxes increases revenue to the government.  But, if the government spends the money like a drunken sailor in a strip club, then the effort is wasted.

Until there is a serious discussion on the governments role in the country in terms of their actual duties under the constitution, they will strip away any gains that your idea would provide...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[To CD Smith:

You said:

&quot;With respect to James Davis, I believe your logic is flawed in that you expect the same politicians that are stealing our money to let us have some of it back?&quot;

No, I do not believe that at all! I am by recommending the Davis Deficit Neutral Job Creation Plan as the next big thing, a shift in power. That&#039;s right a challenge to the existing structure. Those in power recognize it as such which makes it difficult, but not impossible to bring to fruition. The plan advocates placing $2.8 trillion dollars directly into consumer hands over the next 16 years. This is a new paradigm. Power yields to a greater force when it has no other choice. However, you have to declare your position not only to the opposition but to those who will be affected. You have to present to a struggling world what is possible if they are willing to embrace change. Thanks for visting site.

					<description><![CDATA[Very well stated Northern Magnolia..

With respect to James Davis, I believe your logic is flawed in that you expect the same politicians that are stealing our money to let us have some of it back?

Steven Williams,
Black folks will have to wake up and admit that the majority of our problems are the result of our cultural behaviors economic and social. We can no longer keep buying into this &quot;blaming&quot; the victim rhetoric that most black liberals subscribe.  Obama became President because the majority of whites did not want to miss the opportunity to show that at least in their minds, that things have changed and black people fooled themselves into thinking that black president would somehow make their lives better.  Here is the truth, if you voted for Obama, all you got was a very good politician.  

Lastly, here is my litmus test for a good economy, when I am able to quit my lousy job knowing I can do better that&#039;s a good economy...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We as blacks have an obligation to find solutions also!

We as blacks should not place our emergence or rising out of our economic depression all on the shoulder of this president. Putting this economy back on track and seeing that blacks benefit positively is a tall order for any president, let alone one who is aggressively opposed by Republicans sometimes racially. We have an obligation to look for and promote solutions ourselves. This is something we not do. We publicize the problems of our race and how this president has not addressed them but rarely do we write about solutions  We sit around and complain but do not suggest fixes. Who among us have suggested positive solutions to this president and had them rejected? We need to find “ specific and detailed solutions,” in our quest for economic empowerment. To many of us generalize. We should not be afraid to present and discuss detailed solutions to the problems which plague us? We must not feel we lack the skills to function in the arena of solutions. You know many rockets were tested before NASA found one with enough thrust and reliability to use in its program to put a man on the moon. Solutions to black economic empowerment will be no different. 

Embracing and promoting good solutions is a function of power. Many of us say we are ready to take power but we sure don&#039;t act like it. You see you sometimes have to endorse someone else’s idea if its the right solution. That&#039;s right, even if it is not your own idea, as long as that solution gets you to the right place! It’s that simple. There is no question we are going get there, because there is no other way we will be successful. But how long and how many more knock downs we have to endure is an open question. 

See a solution @ http://www.thefixthistime.com 

The answer to us growing economically has always been right before our eyes. But it appears we need someone to yell in our ears, &quot;Hey that&#039;s the solution.&quot; It as if we need approval from whites to advance our own agenda and solutions, especially when it comes to economics.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@Terrance Amen:
I hear this mode of thinking a lot, that other groups pool their resources together and we don&#039;t. I don&#039;t know which community you&#039;re in, but where I am, after close inspection, that narrative isn&#039;t as clearly cut and defined.
Most communities that pool their resources come from a cultural paradigm of collectivism. When you couple that with cultural isolation due to, in large part, language and unfamiliarity with the American culture you have a community that HAS to rely on itself. Oh yeah, let&#039;s not forget that these communities have foreign banks and lending sources from their countries ON TOP of getting US backed government loans to start their own businesses. Choosing to &quot;recycle&quot; their dollars is not a choice but a means of survival. You can see the breakdown in their second and third generations. But yes, since we are, by far, a consumer nation we should have more control of the goods and services we choose to acquire. I just don&#039;t think that our position is something systematically cultural as you suggest.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We do have to stop looking for love in the wrong places... President Obama is a politician.  He is neither the Messiah nor even close to all-powerful in this political system.  He cannot do for ourselves what we will not do for ourselves.  

Let me give a painful, blunt example; if ever you have a relative in long-term care, it will not matter if the administrator of the facility is Black.  The only thing that will matter is you showing up often to let the staff know that you are keeping an eye on your relative and looking out for their welfare.  If you don&#039;t care, neither will the staff.  So also the state of our community, deeply sick and wounded, and in need on serious long-term care.  The only thing that will help is us showing up every day and doing what we need to do.  President Obama could help, but that is all he can do.]]></description>
