I don’t. I could really care less. They are working for a company that has determined they should be paid however much they are paid. And really, while a CEO is working for a company, he is really keeping investors happy and answering to them while running the company and trying to make good things happen there. Some CEO’s are brought in with promises of big money specifically so they can turn a company around. Does it tear me up a little to hear about 3,000 employees being laid off while the CEO gets a pay hike and more...

Federal Minimum Wage Increase Effective Today, More Bad News For Businesses
Today is the day that many workers across the United States have been waiting for. Workers who earn a minimum wage just got a raise today to the tune of $7.25. It doesn’t sound like much but that is up from the $6.55 minimum wage of yesterday. It may not sound like much but it could have a big impact. No I am not talking about the impact on employees wallets. I am talking about the impact on the businesses that they work for. Some in Washington seem to think that this is a great day. That this will...
Obamacare, Are You Kidding Me? Don't Be Fooled!
I don’t think there is really anyway that I will be able to explain exactly how I feel about Obamacare, nationalized health care or however you want to put it. This will more than likely be a rambling with some follow up ramblings as well. I just hope for this countries sake that this NEVER goes through. And if it does, I hope everyone votes out their Congressmen and Senators that voted yes for this in the next election. I don’t know all the numbers or all the facts off the top of my head. What I do know...
There Really Is No Need To Use Credit Repair Services
Driving into work today I heard one of those commercials where some company is swearing that they can “call off” your creditors, “settle for less” with them and give you one small easy monthly payment to get everything paid off. And then it hit me like a ton of bricks. When my wife married me not only did she get stuck with me but she also inherited my credit report. She knew all about it and still married me (I keep reminding myself how lucky I am). I know my debt was not nearly as much as some people...
Find Your U.S. Congressman Or Senator Fast
Why would I do that? Why do I need to know who my Congressman or Senator is? Well, I guess that depends. If you care about the choices that your Senator or Congressman is making on your behalf (that is what is right?), then you need to know who who they are and how to get a hold of them. If you don’t care what is going on in this great country, then I guess you can stop reading here. I know what district I live in and who my representatives are. Unfortunately my Senators are Carl Levin (D)...
What Was Your First Thought Of This Obama Picture?
My first thought: “Oh crap, we got another Bill Clinton”! In all fairness (and I REALLY REALLY hate being fair to Barrak Obama) but the video supposedly shows that this picture is not accurately representing what happened. I was reading on Greta Van Susteren’s blog the video clearly shows something else cleary going on. I have not seen the video. She says she will have the video at 10pm. But come, get real, you know Obama was sneaking a peak at the booty! Post to Facebook Buzz This Post Digg This Post Post to Google Buzz Stumble This Post Post...
