Here's an informative chart about predicted, actual government-run health care costs for families and individuals that I got in an email from Newt. Don't know how any of you feel about Newt Gingrich, but I really liked his "Real Change" book and recommend it to everyone no matter your political view - it was surprisingly progressive and solutions-oriented, which appeals to me.</p> United States Wed, 09 Dec 2009 09:39:51 -0500 6 Month Evaluation of Obama Presidency by "one of Bob Oster's CEO friends" http://archive.thecitizen.com/node/40894 <p><cite >Another email in my box.

The folks that work hard pay too much in taxes (the folks who make 250k or less per year). Who is to blame? Democrats want to give our money to the poor, Republicans want to give major breaks to the rich. Middle Class are screwed. The real workers in the country have to carry the weight of the rest. I did not like the Bush Administration, and I fear the socialist tendencies of the Democrats in power even more. I think more folks are thinking this way. I am a fan of the fair tax and of allowing purchasing of health insurance across state line (allowing true competition and removing a big lobby from the state legislature). Government involvement in healthcare will only make for more taxes and less healthcare (I actually worked in GB and saw the results of Nationalized Health systems. )</p> United States Mon, 07 Sep 2009 22:31:24 -0400 Americans FIRST http://archive.thecitizen.com/node/38696 <p>For all of the newcomers, the time for the second revolution has begun!<br /> The very first charter of the American Declaration of Independence states that</p> United States Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:16:48 -0400 It was only 600 milligrams of mass that started.... http://archive.thecitizen.com/node/38541 <p>a chain reaction which resulted in an explosion of some 18,000 tons of TNT over Hiroshima on this day 64 years ago.

It depicted an alien space craft landing on earth. The head alien gave the people of earth a book. With a special beam, all diseases vanished. Crops grew in abundance. Humans grew fat and happy. Soon, the aliens gave humans free trips back to their home planet. The aliens gave humans a choice to stay on the new planet. Flights left daily. Amazingly, no one returned to earth -- except more space ships for transport.</p> United States Fri, 20 Feb 2009 06:02:42 -0500
