music, thoughts, books, dreams, more

Just my world of dreams, music and thoughts. Author of two books, one a novel of Love stories set in Framingham, Mass, Secrets of the Heart the 2nd book an autobiography of growing up in Framingham, Mass. Small Town America, Framingham My generation was the first teenage generation, that was when the word was coined. Ours was the generation that started cruising through town and to the drive in theater and drive in restaurant. In our area, Ernie Kampersal,from Holliston, drove his bucking car through town, picking up girls. It rose in the air, like a stallion! We went to the soda shops and played the juke boxes. It was a different town, a different time, and it belonged to us!

The Illusion of Free Markets

I see comments from so many young people about how to vote, these people can not possibly understand the market, where do they get the information that makes them so positive about what to do, how to vote..??? Guess where it comes from.  Here is a book that begins to explain the convoluted rules, regulations, and complications of markets.

 Even adults, who are not business oriented, or who have no idea of the regulations and problems of a business....and those that have little knowledge of what happens in an economy or what happens to a business, as a result of over regulation, unfair regulation etc., etc., need help, including me.   I would like to suggest that if anyone is really interested in taking sides, on how to approach and solve the problems of the free market, and our economy that they read a book like this.  There are so many hidden variables, like planning boards who have no idea of how to plan, tax authorities who up taxes on your property when the values go down, ( maybe you understand that one)
and governments that do not lay off in the departments where the volume has diminished, because they are friends with the employees, etc....and of course remember your friend Joe, he is retiring in 3 years, so you need to raise his rank or position so he retires at the highest salary....it goes on and on....

 Teachers who are unionized and working with the union mantra, spreading it to our children,  yep, that is where they understand how to vote at 16 years old.....!!!!( thanks to which President, bet you do not know which President paid the unions back by letting them unionize the government, teachers, transportation ,etc...)
Is it a free country, when the teachers are unionized, how can it be?

  If you have any idea of how the Mafia operated , think about it, and think about what a legalized Mafia would be doing, acting like, etc.   Right now the sitting President, as one of his first actions, removed the legislation in March aprox 9 weeks in office, that required the Unions to report their income and expenses, as all non profits are suppose to do....Why would he have done that?

Continue to be hoodwinked....or really think about it, and learn.  It is complicated, but there are some simple things you can think about.  Should convicts vote?  Should people who do not pay taxes vote?  Think about it, what is fair?  Would you pay someone who lived next door because they voted for you to pay them ?  It is simple, but.....complicated, my own idea is to reduce all questions to a personal level.  It is easier to come to conclusions.

Welfare as we know it has to change.  People will object, but it is not set up to nurture the children.  Just watch Lock Up on Tv and you will see and hear the results of our welfare system.  Prisoners are multiplying too fast.  I have thoughts on how to improve our system, maybe you do too!
