Are You Better Off Than You Were 4 Years Ago?

[Nitehawk013]

Nope. Worse off here.

That is the lefts plan though. They want everyone worse off so that even more become dependant upon them for their livelyhood. When peopel depend upont he Fed for everythign, they will continue to vote for those who promise them the most and support an ever larger government.

I've gone from about $40k 4 years ago
to $2k or so this year, should be $0
by 2015; all while my standard of living,
and eating, has risen considerably.
Barter! I mostly refuse $ now, and have
accounts wherever I patronize, with credit
on their books!

You do know that the IRS considers barter a form of income.

Yup. A total makeover, ty God.
I admit, the first couple years were tough,
but I'm now close to being able to back up all that stuff I talk
I have real food instead of Safeway, and health insurance;
colloidal silver instead of antibiotics, and hospitals, and health insurance;
and my stress levels are through the floor!

Not meaning to brag, sorry.
You can live any type of life
that you can envision; the well-to-do
need caretakers, etc. An economy like
this breeds a humongous "black" market,
bartering is exploding...and you do not
need $ to survive. A satanic lie, imo.

The IRWhat? Let 'em come collect, I'm not hiding,
and I'm not breaking any laws--well, ok, my understanding is that that is
not even humanly possible, lol--but I am not taking advantage. Still taxed six ways from Sunday; I estimate about 23%. I doubt my bartering adds up to $10k a year now.

Yup--only, you only wish it was "the left's" plan. It is satan's plan. The guy who runs both parties. Don't kid yourself.

One good thing in sight. If Obama were to get reelected, he will, (I'm sure), have to blame himself for the past 4 years!

You don't suppose he would have the gall to blame Bush for what went on from 2009 — 2012? If so, he better change the locks on the White House doors and the Oval Office to keep Bush from slipping in at night, (or maybe while Obama is out playing golf), and doing all of the terrible things that have gone on during his administration!!!!!

Smile LIBERALS. You know in your heart of hearts, (you do have one don't you?), Obama has been an utter failure and can blame no one but himself. He is simply a hardheaded, do it my way, I don't care what you have to say, liberal, running, (oops, that should be ruining), our country.

I don't know why the president gets blamed anyway for whatever goes right or wrong.

Congress is what makes laws. Congress can put our country on the right track...if they would.

Do you think Congress should outlaw lobbying? Do they hear their constituents when lobbyists are outside their door?

AreYouReady, if we can't blame Obama for anything then why does he get by blaming Bush? Do you not think that Obama is responsible for any of the problems we're facing? Just passed the $16 trillion mark. Is he responsible, in any way, for this?

Yes, Congress is suppose to do their jobs, but, if what I've read is true, (some is and some is not, I'm sure) Obama has bypassed Congress more than any other president doing his executive orders to get around them. I DON'T LIKE THAT!

YES! Outlaw lobbyist..... for sure! Just another avenue for fraud and illegal going-ons!
