I Completely Lost

  I have been hearing for years from Pelosi that what ever the Democrats want is what America is asking for.  But wait a life time, I am an American and have been told that my ancestry goes back to Ethan Allen, at least I know it goes back to when Bismark North Dakota when it was a row of shacks and what I am being told is what I want is not what I want. How is it that I am up against such superior intellect and well my vote is allowed to be counted, if it can not reach the floor of the House and therefore it is worthless. Where is my voice and how is it that partisanship always comes first? How did I get caught up is this war to  rule America with what is not a superior intellect but an "elite intellect". And how is it that Paris Hilton has a workable solution and knows where to buy the best ham when the only ham I can afford has been telling me for years what I stand for, give me my money back. Wait a minute, if I vote for Obama he will give me $1,000 of my own money back. Why is it illegal for me to buy votes, I guess it is because I would have to use my own money? And yes I have to concede that this is done on both sides of the aisle but this is your own money that they are promising to award you with.  Why can't America look into their pocket to see where their money is to go before they get it and leave  partisanship out of the solution when partisanship will only do what partisanship does best?

   I am being told that foreign country's are getting seven hundred billion dollars from us plus what they are getting from other countries and are sleeping on this. Maybe we should  have questions to why Americans are paying so much for so little and there is so much of our country for sale for little? Tell yourself that there is seven hundred billion dollars that you can bite into and you are going to tell me to get back with you in ten years? If the oil companies can sell you one gallon of gas for four dollars when you are asking them to sell you two gallons of gas for four dollars you will pay four dollars for one gallon. But if you tell them that if they don't go after our own resources someone else will they will race for this market or lose out; not going to happing. Maybe it as well to ask foreign investors to go after these resources for us? You can wait for a more efficient means of transportation and wait even longer for all of America to afford this. Or you can go to Wall-Mart and take other options off the shelf today? Or you can take partisanship off the table and spend your own money! Your only chance is to demand not ask that your delegates put patriotism before partisanship and all of America will benefit. No one can change business in Washington as usual that is not willing to represent from both sides of the aisle. You got money back from the government to stimulate the economy, high prizes will also stimulate the economy. Well we bicker over partisanship we all lose and if is not all of the American populous that wins then ask yourself if this is about revenge, restitution or resolve?                           By Poor John                (show Pelose saying this is what America want,this is what we want + this is what we want + this is what we want but this is what your not going to get until She gets what she wants) Please do not let her get away with this out of our pockets

To Know You

     No one asked you to go to the cross for me
     But it is when I stand on one knee that I am lifted by your grace that is in me
     No one asked you to suffer for me
     But it is by your pain that I know the truth of your word
     No one asked you to die for me
     But it is by your love that I know to love
     I asked that you live
     And it is when you rose that I know that you know of me
     Of all my transgressions the lowest is when I knew not of your love for me
     That I could envy the power of the Lord
     That I should be without his wisdom and his mercy
     For it is through his wisdom that I know to love the Lord
     And it is because of his mercy that I know that the Lord loves me
     Forgive me Lord that I now know of you so that I may now be with you

Poor John Quotes

Some people have a light at the end of their path that guides them.
Some people have a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow that drives them.
Some people have a church for their God.
Some people have god for their church.
It is a small world when the world does not care what you think.
But it is even a smaller world when you do not care what the world thinks.
There is an endless number of reasons why you can't do something
But you are the one reason why you can, if you are worth it to yourselves
One difference between a an adolescent and a young adult is that when an adolescent make a mistake they than make an excuse. But when an young adult makes a mistake they then emits it.   
A negative action has not better alliance then an in-action.
As an adolescent society, we substitute responsibility with unwillingness, accountability with inability and a defined moral base for parental socialism.
We tell our children that there is an endless number of excuses why you can not accomplish something,but that you are the one reason why you should. But as a society we tell ourselves that not knowing the right answer is a good enough reason not to have one.
Progress can be attained without stepping on people, but not without going around people.
It is hard for one person to change things, but one person can always make a difference.

To Keep The Mayflower

  America was a people that set out not to conquer a country but fought for freedom and won a
great nation. How did America divert from that commitment of purpose to a people who believe
that there is nothing that can be done about the direction our country is headed for today? Which
is another way of saying that it is not our responsibility, which is another way of saying America is
not worth standing up for. An America that waits for someone else to make it as great again will be
looking out to sea for the Mayflower. An America that can not make America as great again will
be looking for the Mayflower to go out to sea.

Between The Lines By Poor John (why I use poor john)

  I got a letter from the Internal Revenue reminding me that I am delinquent in paying my taxes, insinuating that I have been irresponsible. Stating that if I did not pay immediately that I would have to pay fines and or go to jail. This really scared me until I remembered that they are trillions of dollars in dept with our money and that they should be throwing themselves in jail. Then I got mad. After all I work six days a week and on Sunday I stand by the freeway with a sing that says, "I have a job will work for food".

  Should I spelt with their trillions or take what is left after taxes and go to jail? So I decided to give them a call and get some answers. I dialed 411 and the operator answered, what city please? I said all of them, give me The-Collect-It Spend-Agency. She said sir that well be 1-900-We-Spend-Your-Money. So I dialed 1-900-We-Spend-Your-Money and after xxx rings a man answered, The-Collect-it-Spend-It-Agency, how can I help you. So I explained the letter to him and asked him what it was that I needed to do. He asked me for my social security number, so I gave it to him. He came back in about a minute and said, Mr. Poor John, has lived at, has worked at, owes. Than he said that I would have to pay the full amount immediately. I said how can I pay us? I do not have the money, the dentist wants three thousand dollars to fix my teeth. He says I have a gum disease and I could and or die. What should I do? He said Mr. Poor John let me put that into the computer and see what it says. He came back in about half a minute and says, Mr Poor John it says here to save on toothpaste. I said look, my truck needs brakes. I have to stand up in it now to stop it . What should I do. He said Mr. Poor John let me put that into the computer and see what we have. He came right back and says, Mr. Poor John it says here to have brakes checked before the auction. I said look, my apartment was hit by lightning and all my receipts and records were destroyed. What can I do? He says Mr. Poor John let me put that into the computer and see what it says. He came right back and says Mr. Poor John it says here that your apartment was not the only thing that got fried.

  I told him that I do not know why I am paying so much in taxes anyways, I just live and work here. I feel like I am paying an existence tax. Why am I paying so much? I am not an unlimited source. He says Mr. Poor John let me put that into the computer and see what it says. He came right back and says Mr. Poor John it says here that you think to little of yourself  

  I did not think that he understood what I was trying to communicate. So I decided to try a language that he would understand. So I says, I am completely innocent of all charges and have no further comments. He hung up on me. Now I now that I am in big trouble because the Internal Revenues version of free speech is a echo in an empty room. I do not know how I got into this mess in the first place, something about read my lips when they really meant watch my mouth move; a sales pitch with no product.

  So this time I got the yellow pages and found a tax representative. Called,  made an appointment and went and saw them. After talking to them, I began to feel a little better. They explained that I probably  would not have to go to jail. That they could get me on a payment plan, paying my back and front taxes at the same time. They also explained how the government really does not waste your money on an unlimited source of causes with a vote.

  After all was said and done, I would have to give up only two things, breakfast and toothpaste. And was left with one rebounding thought; "find a penny pick it up and for the rest of the day look for a buck".

Don't Rock The Boat "baby"

                                           (Stimulus packages)
  The government gave you some of your money back knowing, not hoping, that you will run out to
spend this money that is stimulating the economy. There is another stimulus package out there (high
prices) that is causing the American people to spend every extra penny into the economy. The Congress
dare not touch this with their high dollar brain "power". There is another stimulus package that allowed 
the American investor to go abroad that left us borrowing money back to keep our economy afloat.
Something else the Congress dare not touch.
  Well the American people are waiting for the other shoe to fall, it has already hit the floor, picked up   
and hidden away (if you questing this look in your pocket to see where your money is to go before you 
get it). The Congress is on the side lines hoping that someone in America will stock pile some money that
will stay in our country before they fabricate their own report card.
  I was raised during the Cold War where I was often reminded to be a patriot long before it was so 
much more to be of partisanship.
                                                                             good luck America

I Owe I Owe it's off to hide I go

I went to pay my taxes and get gas today so I wrote this little song.
     I owe in the morning.
     I owe in the evening.
     I owe at supper time.
     And if I owe you money, It's going to be a long long time.
     Put your arms around me.
     Hold me all so tight.
     Because if I owe you money, it's going to be one hell of a fight.

It's In The Mail

  Walking back from the mail box while patting myself on the back for getting something out of the government, my own money back! I wrote this little song.
     Turkey in the morning.
     Turkey in the evening.
     Turkey at supper time.
     We had turkey one day.
     Now we have it all the time.
     Make me a turkey sandwich.
     Make me some turkey stew.
     If you want some turkey?
     Well give it all to you!

Poor John To Poor Richard

When our country was getting started Poor Richard wrote.
Find a penny pick it up and for the rest of the day you well have good luck.
When our country is well on it's way Poor John wrote.
Find a penny pick it up and for the rest of the day look for a buck.

Funny Or Not Funny?

Will there are many claims to strength in diversity. Diversity in opinion will set you as the enemy. Partisanship has a strangle hold on the American people beyond a band-aid on many of the issues that we need results to today. No candidate will be willing to have any claims to parting from partisanship, if needed to solve the major issues we face today, that would not run be hide closed doors to retract this statement. But when you have a populous that votes popularity, not policy. You then have a political system that votes partisanship not populous.  Poor John
