Just My Opinion

In these hard economic times many people have had to raid their IRAs just to be able to pay their bills.

As you may or may not know, whenever you take an early distirbution from your IRA, you pay a 10% penalty on the amount of the withdrawal on your income tax.

It seems to me that making people that are trying to survive through these hard times, and in doing so are reducing their retirement monies, shouldn’t be penalized by Uncle Sam. It seems like adding insult to injury to me.

I would like to see the 10% penalty temporarily removed until the economy recovers, retroactive to include 2009 and 2010 tax returns.

What are your thoughts?

Congressman “Oscar Mayer’ Wiener should go stick his head in a bun and leave Beck alone. I would be very interested in Weiner’s investments and his fellow Dems and Don’ts also.

My turn to vent, this is just too much for me to ignore.
Well, here we go again. The leader (cough, cough) of our nation has paid a visit to another country, whooppeeee!! And what does he do upon his first greeting?? He BOWS!!
The first time I saw this taking place was when he went to Saudi Arabia, and BOWS to the saudi prince. The look on THAT guys face said it all, i.e., “THIS?? is the new President of the US?? How weak is this guy??”

Sure, maybe in Obama’s eyes, he thinks it is a sign of respect to another world leader, but, in the eyes of many others, if you are a world leader,…you show it. STAND UP STRAIGHT YOU IDIOT!! You’re supposed to be the leader of what is supposed to be the greatest free nation in the world!

I can almost imagine him walking up to, oh, let’s say the leader of North Korea and doing that when tensions have been high with that country for some time, and Kim jong giving him a nice karate chop to the back of the head. How brainless!! That would teach him to not do that again!

Yeah I’m upset, My father, and his friends and compatriots and many others up to this very day, have fought for the freedom and strength of this country. And NEVER has ANY standing president bowed to another countries leader, especially a full down bow. (that is a sign of submission)

Now, I could see a slight bow of about 30 degrees toward the one whom you are meeting, with, constant eye contact and a handshake, THAT would be a sign of respect. Heck, at this rate Obama may as well get down on his hand and knees and kiss their bare feet and say “I am you slave and servant forever.”

Did this guy come up with this crap by himself?? Or did one of his staff tell him to do this?

I hope folks are starting to see the light with this guy, from what I’ve seen, this is the biggest nightmare this country has ever been a witness to and has yet to wake up from the dream. I don”t see anything but a bunch of crooks in this administration, OH!!,,,another thing. What’s with all this CZAR CRAP???!! This is NOT a communist country, at least not the last time I looked.

Man, I could just imagine the looks I’d see if my father and his war buddies were still alive. They’d be madder than a pack of raccoons backed into a corner and just come flyin out to give one hell of a fight. this is just not right, I’m glad that I’m not the one who voted for this guy. Sure, he can talk, sure he’s got charisma, but he tottally lacks in the most important area, LEADERSHIP Qualities!!

Perssonally, I don’t much faith in this countries leadership abilities, congress, the senate, the supreme court, they all need some major changes.
God help us all.

Is is just me or does anyone else think that riding a bicycle with the flow of traffic is a bad idea?

When I was was a kid, we were taught to ride against oncoming traffic so we could see the cars approaching us.

When you ride with the flow, the cars that are approaching are coming at you from behind and you have no idea if they see you or if they are paying attention. Maybe they dropped their cigarette, are texting, or falling asleep. You don’t see them vearing toward you, crash, bang, chrunch, you’re dead.

If you had been riding toward the oncoming traffic, you would have seen that they were going to hit you and moved over to let them pass.

Which seems the smarter choice?
