Crumble, Soar, Food, Shelter, Debt, Wall Street jitters, integrity issues, headcount reductions, technology shifts, the real deal, what makes the “big-guys” tick, and the “small” ones roar, leadership, opportunity, efficiency, bureaucracy, bull-shit…. the muddle of politics, profit and people.
What I find frustrating is that neither the GOP nor the Obama administration can explain their proposed Job Acts clearly and concisely in language average people can understand.
Obama’s plan promises to provide tax relief for American workers and businesses, to put workers back on the job while rebuilding and modernizing America. His job plan promises to provide pathways back to work for Americans looking for jobs. But in the past, his bail out dollars have not trickled down.
The GOP state in their jobs plan individual income taxes would be at a maximum of 25 percent, and top corporate rate reduced to “no more than 25 percent.” They promise such reductions will be revenue neutral — yet leave it to a Congressional committee to make the tough decisions necessary to accomplish this.
In the meantime, unemployment remains at a record high. The masses have taken to the streets. Average people are losing their homes to the banks that were bailed out with their tax dollars. The painful runaround, bureaucratic bs and blathering double-speak in a loan modification process with Bank of America is enough to make any sane person lose it. And at a time when for many people, every penny counts, the large financial institutions (Bank of America, Chase and Wells Fargo) have introduced new debit card fees…
Somewhere in this huge disconnect between politics, profit and people is a recipe for disaster (or a huge opportunity).
