Maximum Matyas

That's it... Obama is tanking so start bashing Reagan, do we see a patten here? I know that the man wasn't a saint, but at least everyone in my family was empolyed and doing well. Not to mention I wasnt paying for a bunch of social programs for people who are not even supposed to be in this country. Then there is the fact that when Reagan was in office you were PROUD to be an American we didn't appoligize to every county under the sun for being who we are and what we believed in. Hell I want Reagan back he would be a better president dead than what we have now! I find it hilarious that a few short days ago, Obama was preaching how his stimulus created or kept millions of jobs, but today he won't dare call this next stimulus package what it is because his previous stimulus did nothing for middle America, and Americans are furious. Keep it up Dem's, keep saying that republicans are for millionares and not middle class while you continue to pump billions into big business. Everyone of these douchebags in office make me proud to be middle of the road.

Vote Matyas in 2012. Platform... Everyone in office currently is an idiot and needs to be replaced, so why not with me? They set the bar very very low.

You may be wondering why it has been so long since my last blog post... but then again, with only 3 followers it greatly reduces the chances that someone was wondering that.

The Answer: I'm less angry

I recently left a high stress, little reward job where I was promised the moon (the moon that was never delivered). But those were empty promises. That job made me bitter in a way that I cannot explain, which in turn created an environment that pushed my blood pressure to a point where I was prescribed pills to manage it. I read an article once about manipulative people that broke character traits down to a list of 40 or so traits. Was very interesting and yet could have been applied to that company. The interesting thing, and the part that really created the friction was that micromanaging employees was more important than overall morale of the people working there. If you weren't furiously typing away or talking on the phone, you obviously weren't working and had time for more duties. Even if you were contemplating possible outcomes to algorithms produced for proper functioning of new programs and territories, this was the case. I can't begin to tell you how many times I overheard the comments "What is Bob working on?", "Why isn't Jenny sitting up in her chair, does she have nothing to do?", or my personal favorite and one I was asked numerous times about other employees "Do you think George works most of the day?". The interesting thing is that when the boss was out of the office, I know I could produce twice as much as when she was in the office creating this negative working environment as well as wasting all of our times with the aforementioned questions about others.

There is plenty more, but I don't want to bore you with particulars. I left of my own accord and because of some things that didn't fall in line with my personal morals.

Now I am phasing into the family business of elder care, and let me tell you what... my stress level is next to nothing. And I work with people who actually know what they are doing. Talk about a night and day change... and if they ever tell me I can work my way or purchase a part of the company, they aren't blowing smoke up my ass!

It is so much easier writing about things when you are angry, so this one will be cut short.

Interesting tidbit and a throwback to the "ode to my HUMMER" post.

I was cut off by a Prius the other day. The poor guys face was priceless when he realized he almost became crow-bait underneath the crushing force of my HUMMER's shoes. The extremely apologetic look I was flashed right before he gunned it and began to slowly inch away, made my day a little brighter. I guess he secretly read my blog and knew what I was about to do!

'Till next time, my failthful 3 followers.

Let me begin by saying my views are moderate in nature. I don't subscribe to any political machine, nor do I subscribe to mainstream religious views.

Growing up I remember hearing story after story about the "American Dream". The dream that anyone can make it, anyone can better their situation and if you work hard enough, better the situation of your family for generations to come. The problem now is, that those who don't work hard are rewarded, and those who do work hard are penalized.

Why should I owe taxes after a year of paying taxes with no deductions, when others receive tremendous returns? Why is there a never ending supply of public assistance that allows people to leach off the system without there being any end? Why should I be required to pay for those who refuse to get off their ass and get a job? Why should I feel sorry for someone who got fired for not working while on the job?

The way i see it, after all deductions I am docked approximately 13% of my hard earned dollars to Fed, FICA, etc. Why doesn't the government just impose a flat tax rate of 10%? Make $26k? Pay $2600. Make $260k? Pay $26k. No deductions, no credits, no end of year rewards because you purchased a Prius and have 1200 kids. Oh, and i think this should also apply to those who live below the poverty level. Flat 10% and fuck your refunds. Would we then need to have the legislature spend months creating laws that will only temporarily fix the decades outdated tax codes? I doubt it. If the government wanted to raise taxes that that point it would affect everyone no matter what. Same with lowering taxes.

I also think that there shoudl be a 6 month cap on government assistance for those who have found themselves without a job, or that just refuse to go looking for a job. If you have absolutely no income, why wouldn't you put in an application at McDonalds? Sure it's only minimum wage, but minimum wage is better than no wage. This can also filter back into the fiscally responsible budget. If you cannot afford it, don't buy it. Minimum wage could go a long way if you didn't go to Starbucks for coffee or Sonic for drinks every day.

Whatever happened to a fiscally responsible budget? This applies to the government as well as personal finances and business finances. Why do we constantly spend money we don't have? Why do we have to be responsible if our government isn't setting the example? Obama is setting an epic example of exactly what we shouldn't be doing. I won't only place fault on him. All current politicians suck and should be replaced.

What ever happened to the option to join the military, or go to jail for those who have committed crimes? Joining the military may be the help and direction that would be career criminals need to become a better citizen. Would we have overcrowded prisons if this were still an option? What about a work release program that would place prisoners in the care of the military and ship them overseas to the warzones?

Not only are our current and former politicians killing the "American Dream"... We are too by acting like idiots. OMG! I make $50k a year!!! Lets go out and purchase a $350k home! It should really be ok to randomly smack idiots.

I have plenty more rants. People piss me off.
