Getting it Right - Welcome

The goal of this blog is to publish my thoughts on a variety of economic and political topics in the hopes that people who find them educational or beneficial will utilize them and/or forward to others who might find them interesting and/or worthwhile to promote to others, possibly including politicians who can push some of these ideas to fruition. The topics in my blog are meant to be of value on a long term basis, not a daily diary or political issue of the day log. If the information posted is useful to you, by all means utilize it and/or forward it as you see fit. If not useful, then merely ignore it. There are no universally agreed upon truisms and too little tolerance between some of those with opposing viewpoints to successfully convince the people with hardened opinions to move away from them. I am an analytical type person who will try to be as factual as I am able.

I disdain the current popularity of name calling and condemnation of viewpoints with no factual alternatives or logical solutions given that I see so often. If you don't have a solution based on fact and logic, then opt out of the discussion because you have nothing to contribute. My background is a degree in Economics from the University of Michigan and 39 years working in middle management jobs for a major retailer. My opinions are forged on the personal experence of life, family, friends, and work as well as triumphs and mistakes that I have made and hopefully learned from. My hope is that this blog helps you.

My first topic will be about personal finance. I chose that one first because most of us work long and hard just to survive but not all of us realize our dreams of becoming financially independent from the labors of our work. Much of our political votes/thinking also focus on the economy and in particular how well we are personally doing financially.

It is relatively simple, without sacrificing the enjoyment of living for 'today' and even at moderate incomes, to retire as a millionaire or multi-millionaire, if you focus on that goal consistently from a young age. It is also simple to ensure that your child or grandchild retires rich. It merely requires a one time gift of just $2,000 invested wisely and the passage of time. Please read my first post on this blog to learn more.

How the Democratic Party Tricked and Betrayed Black People

In 1964, when Democrats, whose history from Day 1 was to enslave and deny Blacks their rights through slavery and later through segregation, property and voter suppression, and discrimination, lost the battle to to stop the 1964 Civil Rights legislation from being passed, then Democratic President Lyndon Johnson came up with a plan to, in his words, have Blacks vote Democratic for the next 200 years. He came up with the Great Society Welfare programs vastly increasing welfare by 20 fold in the next 10 years and deliberately targeting more benefits to single women with children. The idea was to move Blacks to the unstated “Government Plantation” to keep them dependent on welfare. Half of single parent households with children live in poverty versus only 10% of married households with children. Education is the key to adult financial success. Since 1964, Black births which were 75% of Black babies born to married households then deteriorated to 75% of Black babies born to single parent households now. In addition to being poor, fatherless children perform worse in school and are more likely to commit crimes. Those two factors keep people poor and dependent on government. Democrats oppose raising educational achievements in poor urban areas through charter schools to keep Blacks uneducated as much as possible and to support public school teacher unions. The only fix for this – Vote Republican, the only party that freed the slaves and fought consistently for the rights of Black people.
