A joke to keep you occupied
Stop us if you've heard this one:
A CEO, a tea party member, and a union guy are at a table with a dozen cookies. The CEO takes 11 cookies and turns to the tea partier and says, "Look out -- the union guy wants your cookie."

Ten years ago we had Steve Jobs, Bob Hope and Johnny Cash. Today we have no Jobs, No Hope, and no Cash.

Well up until this past week we had Steve Jobs. Are you suggesting Bob Hope and Johnny Cash would lead us out of this economic abyss?

Be your own CEO. Fix the retirement account tax-breaked schemes so that any given natural person taxpayer can invest in their own business, incorporated or not. And set a one size fits all maximum contribution level that does not scale down with income. For example, a person with median income could try to save most of their income, perhaps $20,000 a year (by sharing a room), to start a business and then just do it when they have enough saved. Become your own employee.

Maybe we didn't put the cookies on the table to begin with...

Sorry re-edit issue. Should have said:
Maybe if we didn't put the cookies on the table to begin with...

It is my understanding that the Tea Party folks are more concerned about the excessive spending of the federal government (as well as state and local governments).
I think the Tea Party folks were pretty angry at TARP and bailouts of Wall Street types and big corporations.
Obama has received a lot of Wall Street money and I think lots of his important economic cabinet members and advisors are former Goldman Sachs people.
Just sayin'.

Good thing there wasn't a representative of federal, state and local governments at the table.
