Presidential Race and Racism

Some of the accusations during the current presidential primaries are very disturbing. The word racism is thrown around too easily. The word itself is very harsh and holds many consequences. To call someone a racist is different than calling someone dumb or stupid. No one should be allowed to call someone a racist, especially when there is no proof.

During the Republican campaign, Mitt Romney has called Trump a racist. Does Mitt understand what this means. 4 years ago Mitt was caught off camera saying he would never get the vote of 47% of America because these people felt entitled and would always vote for Obama. Mitt did not offer a solution to 47% of America, he did not offer them a path to jobs. He just wrote them off. Trump has not written off any American. Trump has many African Americans supporting him including Ben Carson and many  African American clergy. One thing I can say for the African American clergy is they want to empower African American youth. They want to empower them with jobs and careers. To them the only candidate that talks about jobs for all American youth is Trump. Why would extremely smart people like Ben Carson and African American leaders all over the country support a racist. This alone shows you how ridiculous the accusation is.

The media has also been at fault for calling candidates racists. Racist is a very inflammatory word. It puts the candidates, their supporters and their families at great risk. There are many people out there that do not separate truth from fiction. In addition, there are powerful leftist groups that take advantage of these individuals to push their agendas. These groups do not want jobs for all Americans. They want people to stay poor. When people remain poor, these groups stay in power. It's that simple.

The media has asked  Trump to tone it down. In my view, they should take their own advice.


Hear Mitt Romney talk anout 47% of Americans that would never vote for in 2012.

Whining about tech jobs

Every time people bring up an issue that is affecting their life and indirectly the lives of others, some people call it whining. If we do not bring up these issues, how do we expect to resolve them. I for one have no regrets about leaving the tech industry that I've been in for 20 years. I'll start a route delivering potato chips, coach my son's baseball team and lead a normal life. The real question is not about whining or about my job or my life; it's about this country becoming dumber and dumber by the minute. We have outsourced everything. Technology is in it's infancy and if we outsource this, we are outsourcing the very guts of the future economic growth in this country. Believe me, nobody is whining here!

When other countries learn our business through our technology, what will stop them from setting up shop in their own countries? Let's think clearly here, by giving away technology, we are not giving away mundane jobs that require no skill, we are giving away the very structure and building blocks of our economy. Think about it!

The good old USA

What ever happened to the good old U.S.A. ? A place where you can work hard in a good job with benefits. You would build seniority and you had a pension that you felt comfortable retiring with.
It seems that these days are long gone. In America, we are guaranteed nothing. People from other countries are raping this country of everything it has. They know how to work our government better than normal taxpaying Americans could ever imagine.

Today people don't have to come into our country to take from it. Everyday good paying jobs are moved overseas for the sake of what is perceived as a better profit. When you look at the loss of productivity and the time it takes to train people overseas, I don't think these companies are saving as much as they think. Plus with less jobs in the U.S. , these companies will one day find that they saved a couple of bucks but lost billions in lost revenue from people who used to have well paying jobs and that were buying their products and services.

What ever happened to those good old days? I don't want to act like a protectionist and I know we live in a global economy, but I think the American dream still stands. We have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Unfortunately, nowadays the pursuit is a lot less cheaper in India.

U.S. Companies need help? U.S. Companies should help U.S. citizens first.

I would like to suggest that if the federal government is helping financial companies through their tough times, isn’t it right to ask that these companies help people in the U.S. in return? If companies recieve help, shouldn’t they be obligated to employ people in the U.S. It seems that more and more companies are outsourcing to companies like India and then when they need help, they come to the U.S. government. Well I have news for everybody, the federal government can only help with U.S. taxpayer money. Let’s support the U.S. taxpayer.
