Born a 10th generation Oregonian, (5 generations on each side) I have an enthusiasm for learning and teaching new things. After a ten year mini career in the dental field I moved on to research and embraced the social web. Though the internet is far too large for any one person to claim to be an expert, I can hold my own with the latest trends.
I enjoy researching and writing blogs. As the "Internet Program Director" for myMotherLode.com since 2008, I update the website and have a wide variety of interests. There is always something entertaining, educational or inspirational to share.
The so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” that spends another near trillion dollars, includes a $7500 tax credits for folks to buy $80,000 Teslas; and another $80 billion for the IRS to supposedly go after only cheating billionaires and fat cat corporations. Those same corporations will then pass on that increase in costs to their customers or be forced to cut dividends to American’s retirement accounts. However, The Congressional Budget Office’s analysis of the Act notes that the IRS expansion could collect billions in revenue from new middle-class audits. And no wonder, with a proposed addition of 80,000 or more IRS Agents.
Dwight D. Eisenhower defined “Leadership” as “…the art of getting someone else to do something that you want done because he wants to do it, not because your position of power can compel him to do it.”
Years ago, Ronald Reagan must have foreseen today’s lawlessness in America’s major cities often, and usually abetted by, “Progressive” City Councils and District Attorneys. He said: “We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.”
