Wow, been a while

So its been a while since I've last been on here.....

Anyways, today I went to work for almost 7 hours, and trust me spending 7 hours at Kroger is not fun haha

Got home, pretty much beat, decided to check up on the blog and low and behold I have some people following and commenting.

Awesome!

So I know this is going to going to shake up things and spark up controversy but I am going to talk about the Civil War and Lincoln

So lets begin...

Turns out that the Civil War was not fought over slavery, it was actually fought over states right's. Which is in the Constitution, so basically, the Union was taking away rights given out in the constitution.

Also another interesting fact, the US was the only country to get rid of slavery with violence. A lot of experts and historians has suggested that Lincoln should've paid the southerners Xmillions of dollars for every slave and then freed them and then tried to make a compromise but I don't understand that because then the south could've just taken that money, bought more slaves form Africa and the process would've just kept on going..... and the only one who would really benefit from it would've been Africa I guess.... or no one for that matter......

Also, to me Lincoln is one of the worst presidents of all time. Who was the best you ask

Thomas Jefferson

Theres and old quote that says "the best kind of government is the one who governs the least" and he did govern the least.

We need to figure out his tax plan.

He cut taxes and somehow also cut the national debt almost in half.

Which is good.

He also revoked laws that he saw as unconstitutional and therefore protected the consitution which is in the Presidental Inaguration speech

Speaking of loweing taxes....

I have been thinking alot about taxes and I do like the idea of the Fair Tax.

I mean it is fair....

The government stops all income taxes.

The national sales tax goes from 6%-25% to balance it.

Since people now have that extra money they can afford more and therefore more money is in the economy.

Also, if you don't spend a lot of money then you'll won't pay much taxes because you'll won't buy that much and no filing taxes will be a lot easier since it won't be so complicated.

And the part for small businesses(99% of the economy by the way) since the sales tax is raised, they will get more money and be able to hopefully compete with those Mega-Lo Marts.

Anyways back to Lincoln

If you watch the movie Glory in one scene Robert E Lee is offered the job of general of the union army and he denies it saying that, "I never though I'd see the day when the President would raise an army to attack his own country"

Which is kinda what Lincoln did.

I mean why could'nt they just talk things out and hell, if the south wants to seceed let them seceed dammit. The North's economy was 5 times greater than the south and they would've realized it and people have written books on how the south didn't realize how bad an investment a slave was at that time. And I'm pretty sure once they did, they would've gotten rid of slaves and then the north would've happily brought them back into the Union.

But think about if they were allowed to secceed, what would be the mindset of the people of the south?

They would've all had the mindset that if you don't agree with the government find a group of people who don't either and split this would've made history very interesting...... maybe we would've had like 8 different countries now.....

Oh well, who knows.....
