POPSOnline spending in America is rising These small graphs provide a quick comparison of one economic metric. It will be interesting to compare the relative numbers for "online" and "offline" (traditional) shopping consumer and business spending (since historically consumer spending is 2/3rds of the relative economic activity).

POPSPelosi fine with jailing the uninsured This should put to rest the lie the left is spreading that conservatives are lying when they say you could go to jail for not buying insurance under the democrat health care takeover.

POPSLive In South Florida - Only Rich Need Apply
Reading this article, made me conclude that So Florida has a plan to rid itself of working class dwellers. OMG, it's easy, raise taxes, insurance, utilities, everything under the tropical sun to a level that only well-off families can afford. I swear So. Florida’s leaders… want to rid paradise of commoners, so there’s more room for the blue-blooded beautiful people with fat wallets. Sound too farfetched, too birther, too death panel, too teabagger, too (oh what the heck) conspiracy theorist? Probably, and we sure as hell don't need another one of those nut-ball, butt-ball townhall myths floating around. But it’s strange to figure out why the cost of living in paradise is becoming beyond most people’s shallow pockets. I lived there for 19 years and was able to make ends meet. Today that’s not a can do. I’m glad I got the hell out while the gettin was good. But maybe there’s a silver lining here, because it’s only the filthy rich who will monetarily be able to withstand the BIG HIT.:eek:

POPSAfraid of fair competition The only reason Big Health Insurance is up in arms is because they've been feeding off Americans like parasites, and if the government offers a health coverage option, they're afraid that everyone will see just how overexpensive and unfair they've made getting health care. Health care must be a public service, not a profit-making business. It's criminal that people should be turning profits on people's health. That is why US Healthcare is at the bottom of the scale of all other Western nations. Once Americans get their heads out of their asses, and their wallets, they might just be able to have the greatest healthcare system in the world. (Or at least 4th, after Norway, Canada and Sweden)

POPS"Rich States, Poor States" New York and Ohio and relocated mostly to the nine tax-haven states with no income tax, including Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire and Texas. We also found that over these same years the no-income tax states created 89% more jobs and had 32% faster personal income growth than their high-tax counterparts. New Hampshire helps give the lie to the feeble counterargument. Those who disapprove of tax competition complain that lower state taxes only create a zero-sum competition where states "race to the bottom" and cut services to the poor as taxes fall to zero. They say that tax cutting inevitably means lower quality schools and police protection as lower tax rates mean starvation of public services. They're wrong, and New Hampshire is our favorite illustration. The Live Free or Die State has no income or sales tax, yet it has high-quality schools and excellent public services.

POPSSoak the Rich, Lose the Rich One last point: States aren't simply competing with each other. As Texas Gov. Rick Perry recently told us, "Our state is competing with Germany, France, Japan and China for business. We'd better have a pro-growth tax system or those American jobs will be out-sourced." Gov. Perry and Texas have the jobs and prosperity model exactly right. Texas created more new jobs in 2008 than all other 49 states combined. And Texas is the only state other than Georgia and North Dakota that is cutting taxes this year.

POPSFiscally Responsible Politicians? This headline screams OXYMORON. It is impossible to even suggest that ANYONE on the democrat side of the aisle is FISCALLY Conservative. The spending in the White House is horrendous! But like all liberal politicians, there is not a spending plan they will not support nor a tax they will not impose! Hold on to your wallets and jobs if you can. Them dems are on a roll.

POPSGoodbye Mr.Bush...Goodbye! And let us hope, that in this day, men do rise to fight, not to subjugate or impose but to free, not themselves, or their wallets, but their souls. Let us hope.

POPSThree Reasons Cash is King Most of of us out of practical reality are divided between both camps "cash only" and "wise use of credit". I believe both have merits.Using cash causes us to think twice before making many of our purchases,buying only those things we truly want, since we,ve paused to consider before opening our wallets.Habits of our personal lifestyle can be lucrative if you know how to utilize changes.
