America: The Next Hundred Years

I am just an ordinary guy...with ordinary thoughts and idea's. I have decided to take a few moments from working on my book to express my thoughts in this blog.

First I want to address the look of professional baseball players. Now these guys are getting paid millions...but they cannot afford razors or a hair cut. Some of the players look like bums. Thier salaries are much too high to begin with...Get with the program!!

Well lets look at outsourcing. Why should American companies outsource their customer service and IT help while the CEO's of those companies are making mega dollars? They and their companies are more interested in making money rather than re-funneling that money back into the companies....more importantly the communities they are in. They threaten not building or leaving the communities that support them if they don't get any tax breaks. That my friends, is nothing but a bunch of garbage. We are going to become of country of services rather than manufacturing.

My next big beef is our freedom of speech. Since when has it been a crime to express your thoughts, against our government ? When we do, politicians call us unpatriotic. Baloney!!!! We have the right to speak our minds whether it's in public or in the media without receiving any backlash from others.

Our future...When all is said and done we will become a third world country. Look at us now, we are dependent on other countries for oil and energy needs. Many of our products we use on a daily basis come from China. What would happen if China said they are not going to produce any more products for the US? Also, we are encouraged to use plastic money/atm cards. One step closer to paperless currency.

Prescriptions...drug companies insist we get generic medications...but the cost of our insurance keeps going up.

Elections...don't get me started on that subject. I'll save those thoughts for another blog.
