										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>10. No country would have a chance at invading and conquering the U.S. because the U.S Military is the most bad ass military ever constructed.</p>
<p>9. Ron Paul has quoted USMC Brigadier General Smedley Butler in <a title="War Is A Racket" href="http://lexrex.com/enlightened/articles/warisaracket.htm">War Is A Racket</a> (two time Medal Of Honor recipient) in his books. Good old Smedley said we should only go to war if the people who work in the military industrial complex are willing to work for the same wages the lowest ranking trooper gets, the people who fight the wars vote to go to war, and only to defend our country.</p>
<p>8. The United States military accounts for <a title="43%" href="http://www.globalissues.org/article/75/world-military-spending">43%</a> of worldwide military spending. Do you think we have some cool weapons that other countries don&#8217;t?</p>
<p>7. Because troops and other people <a title="Deaths" href="http://antiwar.com/casualties/">die</a>.</p>
<p>6. Ron Paul understands the concept of <a title="Blowback" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD7dnFDdwu0">blowback</a>.</p>
<p>5. Ron Paul knows that the wars are <a title="Bankrupting" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYXsufE7ilM" target="_blank">bankrupting</a> us.</p>
<p>4. Ron Paul receives <a title="Donations" href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/310783" target="_blank">more donations</a> from our troops then all of the other GOP candidates combined and more than Obama. Shouldn&#8217;t we listen to the people who are fighting and dying in the wars?</p>
<p>3. The U.S has over 5113 <a title="Warheads" href="http://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/Nuclearweaponswhohaswhat" target="_blank">active</a> nuclear warheads. Russia is the next closest at 1566. Aren&#8217;t we friends with them now or at least not trying to blow each other up?</p>
<p>2. We have an airplane with fricking lasers on it that can shoot down ICBMs from many miles away. Since we are thousands of miles away from Iran we have plenty of time to scramble this plane and shoot the warhead down over whatever ocean they want to send it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6w-ql8msl0U" frameborder="0" width="500" height="284"></iframe></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1. Imagine you are the President of Israel, Pakistan, China, or Russia and you are notified that Iran just launched a nuclear weapon. Do you wait to see what direction its going or go into full release? The answer is all of those countries go into full release because they don&#8217;t have the luxury of being thousands of miles away from Iran like the U.S is to see where its going. Those countries eliminate Iran from the face of the earth. If the weapon is coming our way then see #2.</p>

Dr. Paul worked a real job, has run a small a business and served in the military. He has been a physician for 40 years, co-owned a coin store for 12 years and was a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. National Guard for five years. That was how our country was set up &#8212; for public servants to work a real job that they returned to after their public service was done. He has real skills and is not a professional politician.</p>
<p>9. Dr. Paul has decades of experience running a business and in depth knowlegde of health care.</p>
<p>8. <a title="Ron Paul" href="http://www.ronpaul2012.com/">Dr. Paul</a> understands money and is chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology.</p>
<p>7. Dr. Paul does the right thing referencing the U.S. Constitution and works for the country versus campaigning for his ego. He has been serving the public in politics for over 40 years.</p>
<p>6. Dr. Paul refuses to accept a federal pension for his public service, something other members get after a short period because they do not have real jobs. According to Dr. Paul, to receive a pension for public service would be &#8220;hypocritical and immoral.&#8221;</p>
<p>5. Unlike most other candidates out there, Dr. Paul is not a good-looking, smooth-talking, snake charmer or charismatic zealot. He is a regular, plain-spoken person who says it the way it is.</p>
<p>4. Dr. Paul doesn&#8217;t care if big groups like him (like unions and businesses). His donations come primarily from individuals, not from groups. He is willing to serve his country honorably without personal gain. Dr. Paul will do what is right for the U.S. based on the Constitution whether or not big money or big government likes it.</p>
<p>3. Dr. Paul has written a bill, called the Sun Light Rule that requires our politicians have at least 10 days to read bills before signing them.</p>
<p>2. Dr. Paul will bring practical wisdom, cut spending, balance the budget, stabilize the economy and probably be able to do away with the IRS and income tax, a tax that is not constitutional and was started to fund the civil war and supposed to stop after the civil war. He wants to abolish the U.S. Department of Education, giving the states and parents back control. He wants to do away with other large government agencies, restoring the rightful power to the states.</p>
<p>1. Dr. Paul&#8217;s old-fashioned decency, integrity, honor and real-life experience are exactly what our country needs after hiring actors, puppets, oil and other group-connected slicks.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignright size-full wp-image-452" title="Ben Bernake Time Magazine" src="http://thetop10reasons.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ben-bernake-time-magazine.jpg" alt="Ben Bernake Time Magazine" width="258" height="344" srcset="http://thetop10reasons.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ben-bernake-time-magazine.jpg 258w, http://thetop10reasons.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ben-bernake-time-magazine-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 258px) 100vw, 258px" />In Response To: <a title="Time Magazine" href="http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1946375_1947251,00.html" target="_blank">Time Magazine</a> naming Ben Bernake 2009 Person of The Year</p>
<p>10. Ben Bernake has secretly spent trillions of American Taxpayers Dollars since being named Federal Reserve Chairman.</p>
<p>9. Ben Bernake has the job of being the largest counterfeiter in the world. He has they keys to print up money whenever he wants and does not have to be held accountable. If you started printing up money without telling anybody do you think you would go to jail? Probably so.</p>
<p>8. His monetary policy has flooded the market with money. When this happens you get a devaluation of the American Dollar and inflation. Check out this <a title="Inflation Calculator" href="http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/" target="_blank">inflation calculator</a>. Put in 2006 as the start date as this is when Bernake was elected. As of today the inflation rate is at 7.3%. Did your income go up by more than 7.3% in the past 3 years? Probably not as many people are lucky if they even have a job. If my economics are right then the money I make has 7.3% less purchasing power then it did 3 years ago.</p>
<p>7. In hind sight, he will end up being a good pick because now the American public who does not follow economics or politics might now ask &#8220;Who Is Ben Bernake?&#8221; When they start doing research on him (hopefully) they will find mountains of information showing that the Federal Reserve is one of the <a title="Top 10 Reasons" href="http://thetop10reasons.com" target="_blank">Top 10 Reasons</a> (maybe #1) why our country has gone through the recession of 2009 and had the housing bubble. This will (hopefully) get more people to start questioning why we let a organization dictate U.S monetary policy when they do not have to tell us what they are doing with the checkbook.</p>
<p>6. With Time Magazine selecting <a title="Ben Bernake" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Bernanke" target="_blank">Ben Bernake</a> it has to bring up the question that there must be some &#8220;back door deals&#8221; going on between the U.S Government and major media outlets like Time. I say this because how can a guy who is continuing to bankrupt our country be considered the best person in the world? Its all about control. If the U.S Government can get the message out that Government is good then the majority of U.S citizens who never question anything will continue to believe it.</p>
<p>5. The rest of the list is not that much better. Again, you see more people from the government. Nancy Pelosi, are you kidding me? Llyod Blankfein &#8211; CEO of Goldman Sachs&#8230; really? How can a guy who ran a company into bankruptcy and then accept bailout money be considered a good fit? If anything he should be out on the street. The list is a joke. How can you put the guy who controls the buttons on the U.S dollar on the same list with Adam Lambert, winner of American Idol?</p>
<p>4. Time Magazine said &#8220;His <strong>creative</strong> leadership helped ensure that 2009 was a period of <strong>weak recovery </strong>rather than catastrophic depression, and he still wields unrivaled power over our money, our jobs, our savings and our national future.&#8221; Lets brak this down. <strong>Creative</strong> &#8211; All he did was spend more money by giving it to failing companies (AIG, GM, Goldman Sachs) and to government run projects that always fail. Writing a check is NOT &#8220;creative.&#8221; Anybody can do that. <strong>Weak Recovery</strong> &#8211; We recovered? Are you kidding me. <a title="Unemplyoment Rates" href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/real-unemployment-rate-is-far-higher-than-the-headlines/19276437/" target="_blank">Unemployment rates</a> are much higher than that Bureau of Labor BS that is given to us. How can you recover when wealth has evaporated and people do not have money to buy anything? What&#8217;s even scarier is the end of the quote &#8211; <em>&#8220;he still wields unrivaled power over our money, our jobs, our savings and our national future.&#8221;</em> One man has the &#8220;unrivaled power&#8221; over YOUR money, YOUR job, YOUR savings, and YOUR future. Does this make you feel all fuzzy inside knowing that you have no control over any of those but ONE MAN does?</p>
<p>3. Adding to the creativity, he has kept the <a title="Fed Funds Rate" href="http://www.newyorkfed.org/charts/ff/" target="_blank">Fed Funds Rate</a> at near 0%. With it being at zero the intention is to free up more cheap money to buy stuff to &#8220;stimulate the economy.&#8221; Isn&#8217;t low interest rates how the housing bubble was created? I think so. So now you&#8217;re giving even cheaper money out. On top of that this does not encourage saving money. Have you checked your savings account rate lately? Just 3 years ago it was at 5% and now your lucky to get 1%. Thanks Ben for not promoting saving and instead more borrowing.</p>
<p>2. When was the last time you spent money to get out of debt? Never worked for you has it? So what makes Ben Bernake think the U.S Government can <a title="Debts" href="http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/08/03/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry5209497.shtml" target="_blank">spend trillions of dollars</a> to help us erase our debts? He can&#8217;t, that&#8217;s not how it works. The basics of it are that the U.S Government is just like any household but with bigger numbers. You will go bankrupt if you spend too much. Its that simple. Thanks Ben for putting the pedal to the metal and bankrupting the next generations of Americans as we will not be able to pay it back. Every American taxpayer is on the hook for over $111,000 right now and growing. Check the <a title="Debt Clock" href="http://usdebtclock.org/" target="_blank">debt clock</a> for an update. I understand you did not start this process but isn&#8217;t it just *as bad* that you are making it worse?</p>
<p>1. Transparency. Ben Bernake works for the <a title="The Fed" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_System" target="_blank">Federal Reserve</a> which is an organization that basically runs the U.S Economy by setting interest rates and being able to spend money without having to disclose anything.  How does that benefit any American Citizen? Its ridiculous how the Federal Reserve is even allowed to do this or to be in existence. It should only add fire to the fuel that American citizens should NOT trust the U.S Government to do anything. Let the free market decide what happens instead of fixing prices. Ben Bernake has only delayed the inevitable by spending more money. Prepare to have another real recession after the money is all spent thanks to the Federal Reserve and Time Magazines 2009 Person of the Year Ben Bernake.</p>
<p>If you would like to learn why the Federal Reserve and Ben Bernake are basically the devil I suggest you read <a title="End The Fed" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0446549193?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=32inchhdtvreviews-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0446549193" target="_blank">End The Fed</a> by <a title="Ron Paul" href="http://www.campaignforliberty.com/" target="_blank">Ron Paul</a>. You will feel enlightened or pissed off or maybe both. For me it was both.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignright size-full wp-image-448" title="eBay Partner Network Logo" src="http://thetop10reasons.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ebay-partnernetwork-logo.jpg" alt="eBay Partner Network Logo" width="150" height="150" />10. When <a title="eBay Affiliate Program" href="https://ebaypartnernetwork.com/files/hub/en-US/qcp.html" target="_blank">eBay&#8217;s affiliate program</a> changed from a straight up affiliate program to a PPC program it became not about helping all of their affiliates make more money but eBay more money.</p>
<p>9. Since making the change to a PPC based model the <a title="Web Traffic" href="http://siteanalytics.compete.com/amazon.com+ebay.com/" target="_blank">amount of traffic </a>to eBay has dropped to less than Amazon&#8217;s for the first time since eBay passed Amazon. This is not good news for eBay as it happened the month before Christmas. Could this just be a coincidence that 10 million less unique visitors visited eBay in the same month as the PPC structure was implemented? Probably not. Its all those beginner to novice affiliate marketers taking their web traffic and referring it somewhere else.</p>
<p>8. The goal is to reward good affiliate marketers with higher PPC earnings but how can the affiliate marketer know what you think is good traffic and whats not? Isn&#8217;t a sale good enough? How many companies pay their employees for bringing customers into the door and not making a sale? The answer is zero. I could only imagine a boss saying &#8220;Hey good job on bringing in 1000 customers today and NOT making a sale. We are going to give you a raise.&#8221;</p>
<p>7. Nothing makes a affiliate marketer more angry then looking into the transactions that occured and seeing something that they would have earned $25 with on the old way and now earning $0. How could it be bad traffic if the end result is a sale?</p>
<p>6. People go where the money is at. When the money they use to be earning through the affiliate program is not as good then why stay?</p>
<p>5. Does eBay think they are the only good affiliate program around because there are hundreds of thousands of products available? Maybe. What it means now is that affiliate marketers are going to have to team up with specific companies to make sales and not just a online shopping mall. With hundreds available it should not be hard to do.</p>
<p>4. Who really wins here? Does eBay make more money? I don&#8217;t see how. They are getting less people sent to their site to buy stuff. Less transactions means less revenues from listing fees. How can less be more when you only paid out when a sale was made to an affiliate.</p>
<p>3. The eBay affiliate program is now a joke. They have now turned away the very people who loved their website and made it into what it is. It went from making people into entrepreneurs to now making people into a employee. Affiliate marketers don&#8217;t work for eBay. You don&#8217;t give them a 401k, health benefits, or pay them a salary. You only reward them on a sale. If anything, you should want more affiliate marketers and less salaried employees.</p>
<p>2. Does eBay know that it does not produce anything? All you are eBay is a forum for listing products. It is already becoming too expensive to list products on your site as your fees are high. With this in mind, many people are choosing to build their own websites to sell their products on. What about all of those garage sellers from back in the day? Many choose to list it on <a title="Craigslist" href="http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites" target="_blank">Craigslist</a> first as its FREE and easy to do. How much longer does eBay think they can get by on brand recognition alone? Ask companies like <a title="GM 5 Year Stock Quote" href="http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=GM&amp;time=5yr" target="_blank">GM</a> how its working for them and they actually produce something. I wonder how much lower the <a title="eBay Stock Price" href="http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=EBAY&amp;time=5yr" target="_blank">eBay stock price</a> will go with these revenue deterring practices.</p>
<p>1. Transperency. eBay has made the affiliate program into a guessing game. Before it was pretty simple. Send traffic to eBay and if that person buys something you get a % of the revenue. How do we know whats good traffic or not? What does it matter? Hopefully eBay will stop acting like the U.S Government by hiding secrets from the people that make it what it is.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>10. When you join the <a title="Build A Niche Store Guide Contest" href="http://www.buildanichestoreguide.com/site-contest/" target="_blank">Build A Niche Store Guide Contest</a> you are being entered into a free contest where a professional webmaster is giving a money making website.</p>
<p>9. Mark Hansen is the internet marketing guru who is giving away the site and he has been in the business for over 10 years interneting it up. You can find him at his flagship site called <a title="The Niche Store Builder" href="http://www.thenichestorebuilder.com/" target="_blank">TheNicheStoreBuilder</a>.</p>
<p>8. Based on Mark&#8217;s experience he thinks that the website he is creating about golf putters will bring in over $400 a month. Even if you hate golf you cannot hate $400.</p>
<p>7. The tactics he is using to build the website are based on the e-book called the <a title="Number One Way To Make Money" href="http://psp1980.n1way.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">Number One Way To Make Money Online</a> which was written by two very successful internet marketers.</p>
<p>6. The guide was written off of the success of the software Kelvin and Adam created called the <a title="Build A Niche Store " href="http://psp1980.nichestore.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">Build A Niche Store</a> software which pulls listings from eBay of your choice that you can display on your site. When somebody goes through your site and buys you earn a affiliate commission.</p>
<p>5. Mark has already spent over $100 on building content to the site and its not done yet.</p>
<p>4. When the site is all done it will probably be better than any site you have in your portfolio.</p>
<p>3. Who does not want an extra $400 a month going into their pocket for doing nothing?</p>
<p>2. You will learn more from joining the rss feed on his website then any other marketer out there.</p>
<p>1. Who said there was no such thing as a free lunch? Well, your not getting lunch but $400 a month will more than cover the bill.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. When people sign up for a service like satellite radio they sign up for a certain time period such as a year or year and a half. At the end of the time period it is supposed to shut off, not keep on going while Sirius continues to bill.</p>
<p>2. When you sign up for Sirius they send you a welcome letter stating the terms of the service. Nobody reads them because the sales staff informs you that you are paying for the set time period and that&#8217;s it. No where in the sales presentation do they say about auto renewing. The welcome letter is more of a formality then stating the obvious. We know what we bought, how much we paid, and for how long. Why would we need to read the pack if everything was stated to us in the first place?</p>
<p>3. Lets say that you do read the welcome letter and are informed about the auto renewal policy but forget about it over the year or two you had the service and do not call in to cancel. Of course it is your fault as you are not keeping up your deal of the bargain.</p>
<p>4. Most people who are introduced to satellite radio services are done so when they <a title="Car Lease" href="http://thetop10reasons.com/to-lease-over-buying-a-car" target="_blank">lease a car</a>. Ford in particular has an agreement with Sirius that the first 6 months of the lease include it for free. At the end of that time period you can either continue it by paying or let it turn off. Since you did not agree to something with Sirius it automatically gets shut off the day you hit 6 months of having the car. The agreement is between Ford and Sirius, not you.</p>
<p>5. During those 6 months you get use to having uninterrupted music and hundreds of choices. You end up liking it so much that you see no need to bring cd&#8217;s or your iPod on road trips anymore. The $10 a month does not seem like that much and since you can play it on your computer at home you ante up the money and either pay for it in whole for the rest of your lease or by month.</p>
<p>6. When it is time to turn in your car lease you will start getting notices on you radio saying it is time to renew the subscription and it even shows the phone # on it. You can either call and pay up or do nothing as you are turning the car in and getting something else assuming that when you turn it in everything is all squared because you paid for it in full.</p>
<p>7. Sirius has the policy that if you do not call in to cancel they have the right to continue billing your credit card that is on file. If there is no credit card then they start sending you bills. You will get a bill in the mail saying you owe money now with a late fee on it. Of course this confuses you as you paid for a certain time period and either forget about the policy or never read the welcome letter because their was no need to except to find out what stations played the music you like.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignright size-full wp-image-434" title="Sirius Satellite Radio Policy" src="http://thetop10reasons.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/siriussatellitepolicy.jpg" alt="Sirius Satellite Radio Policy" width="350" height="167" srcset="http://thetop10reasons.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/siriussatellitepolicy.jpg 350w, http://thetop10reasons.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/siriussatellitepolicy-300x143.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px" />8. If you do not pay the first bill, Sirius writes off the debt and sends it to a collection company. Of course you will be confused as I was to hear a call from a <a title="Collections" href="http://thetop10reasons.com/the-top-10-reasons-collections-property-taxes-income-taxes-and-liens-must-be-paid-before-a-mortgage-can-close" target="_blank">collection agency</a> as I keep excellent record of my finances. I was informed that I owed $31 to Sirius for not paying my last two bills which I should not have had in the first place as the service was shut off and the car was turned in.</p>
<p>9. A quick phone call (45 minutes on hold) to the customer service center (which I think is in the Bahamas) should get to the bottom of this. What they tell you is that the terms of the welcome pack said they were going to keep billing but since there was no credit card on file they kept accruing a balance. Bills were sent but were thrown out because why would they keep billing as my year and a half I paid ahead of time for was up? There was nothing they could do now as the debt was sold. Yup, a $31 bill being sent to collections to ding up my <a title="Credit Report" href="http://thetop10reasons.com/the-top-10-reasons-why-you-should-never-pay-for-a-credit-report" target="_blank">credit report</a>.</p>
<p>10. In the end it made sense to pay the $31 for a service I never used as it was not worth my time to fight it and let it jack up my credit report. But who is the loser here? Is it me? The consumer who thought everything was explained to and did his part but never read about a policy where he had to call in to cancel (I never received a call asking if I wanted to re-new)? Or is it Sirius? The company who provided a outstanding service. One so good that it became normal to skip the local radio stations and go right to the satellite stations and then listen to at home on my computer. The loser is Sirius. The policy should be that there is no auto-renew policy. If you pay in advance then at the end of your contract the service gets shut off. This way when the person goes to turn it on and hears nothing they know that they need to call in to renew. Sirius can flip a on/off switch at anytime. By continuing to bill and then sending it to collections (w/o a phone call) will mess up a credit report. Even worse is that its over $31. Sirius could get rid of all the employees (saving $$$ on salaries) who work at that call center. Even the manager I talked to (Joshua) agreed that it is a bad policy. I asked him how many times a day they get a call like mine and he said &#8220;too many.&#8221; Unfortunately I can never go back to Sirius Satellite Radio again. Not because of the product or the service, but because of a bad policy and a lack of communication on their part.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. When you lease a car you never have to worry about car repairs happening. All new cars come with a lease that covers any drive train repairs like engines, transmissions, or any other major mechanical mishaps. Yes, when you buy a car you get the same warranties but after the warranty is up you are on your own.</p>
<p>2. Since the manufacturer is picking up the tab on all repairs you will be able to bring your car into the dealership without having to spend a dollar. With most dealerships or car repair shops charging over $100 an hour just to take a look at your car this will save you a ton of money.</p>
<p>3. You are getting a new car every two or three years. This way you can change with the times and drive a number of different cars in a life time.</p>
<p>4. All cars and trucks are liabilities. They will depreciate. When you lease your car you will not have to worry how much it really is going to be worth at the end of your contract. Hopefully the car manufacturer charged you enough in your monthly payment where you would have paid down how much it was intended to depreciate.</p>
<p>5. Lease payments are always going to be less than car payments. Most car loans are 5 years now. Take a $30,000 car over 5 years and even with a 0% interest rate. If you bought the car you would pay $500 a month for that car. A lease payment would be around $350 saving you $150 a month. This way you can keep your money and invest it. If you really like the car at the end then you can buy the remaining balance out right.</p>
<p>6. It is usually easier to get approved on a lease than on a loan. The car manufacturers need to get somebody else paying down the balance on the loan and are willing to loosen their guidelines more than a bank because they need to make a sale. A bank sees you as a risk because they are giving you money to buy something that will be worth less the second you take it off the dealer lot. If you default on the loan, the bank is stuck with a vehicle that is worth less than what the balance of the loan is.</p>
<p>7. Most car leases are pretty straight forward and up front. Usually, every element of the deal, lease price, term, money factor, residual, vehicle make and model is already in place and cannot be changed. This way you know you are getting a good deal. You still can negotiate if you want to, but most cars like a Ford Focus or Ford Fusion are priced as is. Ford knows that they need to get a lot of them out the doors to make a profit so they already go down to that profit margin they need to be competitive. If you are thinking about leasing a truck or SUV then try negotiating. Most of those vehicles are priced higher and can come down.</p>
<p>8. Leasing takes the guess work of having to deal with a used car in the future. People think that getting a 3 to 6 year old car will benefit them in the long run because they will pay it off if they had to take a loan. All that happens now is they have a car payment and have to pay for car repairs. Most used car loans are 3 years. Take a $10k car loan at 0% and your payment is still $277 a month. This is hoping you don&#8217;t have any car repairs along the way. When getting a lease you could probably get the same new car for around the same monthly payment and not have to worry about $100 an hour labor charges.</p>
<p>9. New cars do not have to be maintained as much as old ones because you know you are going to be turning it in. This does not mean to not change the oil but little things like waxing it every month. The car is still new and you are not supposed to wax a car for the first 6 months of getting it anyways. The paint is still settling from the factory.</p>
<p>10. Piece of mind. How many times have you been driving around in your old beat up clunker and something broke. Your car repairs cost over $1k and it puts you in debt. Its a never ending cycle with cars. Sure, car companies are making better cars, but they are man made. They will break down no matter if it is a Mercedes, Lexus, or a Ford.</p>

		<title>The Top 10 Reasons To Use A RSS Feed On Your Website</title>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. RSS stands for &#8220;Rich Site Summary&#8221; which is a format to deliver content that changes frequently on your website.</p>
<p>2. People looking for fresh content on the Internet will want to grab your RSS feed to have it automatically sent to their e-mail box so they do not have to go back and look for new info in the future.</p>
<p>3. When people subscribe to your RSS feed this builds your credibility as an expert in the field of whatever it is you are writing about. When your subscriber count starts going up your website will soon become a authority website on the Internet.</p>
<p>4. With a large subscriber list you are guaranteed to get a lot of visitors to your website. Lots of visitors guarantees a interactive website full of new information and content.</p>
<p>5. Search engines like Google and Yahoo love sites with large RSS feed subscribers. Google knows how many subscribers you have if you use their Feedburner service. When Google sees large numbers in there and new subscribers being added they are going to send you more search visitors to your site.</p>
<p>6. Your RSS feed could be picked up by a major website and used as new content or a bunch of smaller websites could use it. Small websites use your content as new content for their sites but now you have links coming back to your site. When Google, Yahoo, and MSN see links coming back to your site your site will get pushed up in the search engine rankings and more visitors will enter.</p>
<p>7. Your readers privacy will be kept in tact for the ones who do not want to sign up for a newsletter. Many websites make you enter a email address to get new info. With a RSS feed, your readers don&#8217;t have to submit their info unless they want to. All you need to know is that you have another subscriber who wants to know what your writing about.</p>
<p>8. Making money. Large companies will approach website owners who have a large number of subscribers because they know that you have a loyal and growing fan base. Major companies will offer to pay you to advertise on your website because they know you are going to have repeat traffic and if you support a product then they might do it to.</p>
<p>9. With your RSS feed your links embedded in the feed will help build your search engine rankings for a specific keyword or phrase you might be ranking for. Google, Yahoo, MSN, and other search engines follow your RSS feed link and use those keywords to rank you. Make sure you write your posts correctly with the write keywords and phrases.</p>
<p>10. By adding a little RSS button on your site you could effectively grow your sites visibility two fold without having to write more.</p>

		<title>The Top 10 Reasons To Close The IRS</title>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. Nobody likes the IRS. If there is a person out there who actually likes sending in their tax returns every year they must be an alien. The only people who like doing this are people who work at the IRS because it keeps them employed.</p>
<p>2. It is unconstitutional. No where in the U.S Constitution does it make it legal for the U.S Government to tax its own citizens. However, one of our greatest Presidents of all time never has this brought up against him. Good old &#8220;Honest&#8221; Abe Lincoln was the ass clown who brought the IRS (then Bureau of Internal Revenue) into existence with the <a title="Revenue Act Of 1862" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue_Act_of_1862" target="_blank">Revenue Act of 1862</a> to help fund the Civil War. Obviously he did not get the chance to stop this theft from its new citizens when John Wilkes Booth killed him. Government liked this new found revenue from all of its old now new states and continued with it.</p>
<p>3. The IRS always makes people bring up that stupid question of &#8220;everybody has to pay their fair share.&#8221; Who decides what is fair? You don&#8217;t. Do you even know what fair is? If somebody ever says that after you tell them the IRS is one of the biggest wastes of space, please slap them. Then tell them to give you all of their money and that you will give back what is only deemed fair by you. See if that changes their mind.</p>
<p>4. The IRS provides no &#8220;services&#8221; to the individual. Have you ever sent in your income tax returns, wrote your check and wondered what you spent money on this past year to have the U.S Government charge you anything. I cannot think of one thing the U.S Government has done with my tax return money for me&#8230;ever. Everything we use that has some sort of Government function attached to it is already funded by a different tax, ie. roads are paid by gas taxes. The worst part is that you do not even get a receipt. Imagine going to your local dry cleaners and paying for your laundry. You always get a receipt for services rendered. The IRS does not have to do this. This just &#8220;steal&#8221; from you without giving you a receipt. If you were a business owner and ran your operations like this do you think you would have any return customers? Probably not. Instead of doing your income taxes this year, call the IRS and ask for a receipt for what services you used from the US Government. When one is shown, then pay.</p>
<p>5. The IRS in 2008 had a operating budget of <a title="2008 IRS Operating Budget" href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2008/treasury.aspx" target="_blank">$11.1 BILLION dollars</a> (up from $10.4 Billion in 2007) and you know its going to be more in 2009 and into the future. Again, what do &#8220;we the people&#8221; get from paying taxes? I still can&#8217;t think of anything. Imagine saving $11.1 Billion dollars in tax payer money every year on something that has no value. The U.S could start paying back some that <a title="$11 Trillion In Debt" href="http://www.federalbudget.com/" target="_blank">$11 Trillion of national debt</a> (as of Jan 2009) it owes or the <a title="How Much Interest The US Pays A Year" href="http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/ir/ir_expense.htm" target="_blank">$4.5 Billion</a> the U.S pays JUST IN INTEREST ever year.</p>
<p>6. The IRS creates <a title="$200 Billion In Waste" href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090107/ap_on_go_ot/irs_worst_problems" target="_blank">$200 billion dollars</a> in none value spending ever year by American citizens. That money is spent by you and I to hire tax accountants whose job it is to make sure we have done our taxes right. Their whole livelihood revolves around the theft of money from the IRS and then telling you that its ok if the IRS steals because they need you to pay them so they can buy food for their family. Sure, if the IRS closed, all of the tax accountants at H&amp;R Block and tax lawyers around the country would be out of a job the next day but being a auditor for a company would provide more value for the economy than doing taxes. The $200 billion figure is probably a light figure. It does not take into account what you need to do to get to the point of filing taxes. You might need to take time off of work to drive to your accountant. This is time away from making money and time spent burning fuel in your car.</p>
<p>7. The <a title="IRS" href="http://www.irs.gov/" target="_blank">IRS</a> hates trees. Its tax code book is over <a title="67,000 Pages To Write A Book" href="http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2007/04/post_7.html" target="_blank">67,000 pages</a>. Can you image what a book would look like that has 67k pages!! This equates to about <a title="How Much Paper From One Tree" href="http://www.infoplease.com/askeds/much-paper-one-tree.html" target="_blank">one tree</a> just to make that book. That is just the book to describe how stupid our income tax system is. Who the hell would ever want to read it. I bet you that its been added onto with the same laws or codes so many times because nobody at the IRS wanted to check to see if some law was written on page 27,272. As of July 2008 the IRS collected 59 million paper tax forms for the 2007 income tax return season. Does it get you thinking how many forms have been printed over the last 100 years.  The <a title="U.S Population" href="http://www.census.gov/" target="_blank">U.S population</a> in 2009 is 305 million. So lets take 100 million adults a year x 100 years = OVERFLOW on my calculator. It does not want to calculate it because its knows how asinine this calculation is and does not want to know this number at all because it will start crying. Some <a title="87 Million Filed Taxes Online In 2008" href="http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/07ifss24.xls" target="_blank">87 million</a> filed taxes online in 2008. I know they are moving towards doing everything online but now the budget for their IT department is going to go up.</p>
<p>8. The IRS hates businesses a lot. With the recession of 2009 in full effect, the IRS is putting major corporations out of business. Here is one that hits home for me since I am in Detroit, MI. As we all know, Ford, GM, and Chrysler are hurting and it looks like one of them is going bankrupt. GM and Chrysler have asked for $7 Billion each from the second <a title="First Bailout Plan" href="http://thetop10reasons.com/the-top-10-reasons-why-congress-should-not-pass-the-700-billion-bailout-plan" target="_blank">bailout plan</a> to stay afloat. In 2007 General Motors paid <a title="GM Pays $37 Billion Income Tax" href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=GM&amp;annual" target="_blank">$37 BILLION DOLLARS</a> in income taxes. Here is a great idea. Why not give them back the $37 BILLION they ALREADY earned and let them stay in business. Do you think GM could develop a car that got 100 mpg with $37 Billion in research and development? I think so. Heck, they could probably build the <a title="Starship Enterprise" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Enterprise" target="_blank">Starship Enterprise</a> to run off of shampoo with that kind of money. Instead the IRS wants to bankrupt GM by stealing from them and depress the whole Metro Detroit area so people lose jobs causing more homes in Michigan to go into <a title="Foreclosure Advice" href="http://thetop10reasons.com/the-top-10-reasons-why-foreclosure-is-not-a-bad-idea" target="_blank">foreclosure</a>.</p>
<p>9. The employees at the IRS are given decent <a title="IRS Salaries" href="http://www.jobs.irs.gov/car_opp_cisaBen.html" target="_blank">salaries</a> with full benefits and a pension. Some IRS agents make over $100k a year. I know because when I use to work at <a title="Quicken Loans" href="http://thetop10reasons.com/the-top-10-reasons-to-refinance-your-mortgage-with-quicken-loans" target="_blank">Quicken Loans</a> as a mortgage banker one IRS agent was a client of mine. He made $105k a year and had only been there for 2 years. Where in the private sector can you make $105k after being at a job for 2 years unless you are a Doctor? You can&#8217;t. IRS agents get guns. This means if you don&#8217;t pay your income taxes they can shut down your business or barge into your home demanding payment. If it was any other person off the street they would be called a thief, be arrested, and put in jail. Since the IRS agent has a badge it makes it ok though. This does happen. My same client told me about a story where he and some other ass clown agents had to shut down a car repair shop. It was the kind where dad and his sons were the mechanics, the cousins washed and detailed cars, and mom was the office manager. They could not afford to pay all of their taxes so the IRS put them out of business. Now all of them are out on the street with no income to buy food, pay rent, etc. Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice to throw the IRS out on the street.</p>
<p>10. Politicians use the IRS and income tax promises to get elected. <a title="10 Reasons To Not Vote Barack Obama" href="http://thetop10reasons.com/the-top-10-reasons-to-not-vote-for-barack-obama" target="_blank">Barack Obama</a> was voted to President this year because he was not going to tax people who make below $250k a year. Of course he knew that less than 30% of the American population make above $250k. So why not vote for him. You are not going to be affected with your $50k salary. Even though 60% of the US income tax is paid by people who make over $250k. Its easier to tax those bastards who are doing something right. This is one way to get a lot of people to vote for you as some 65% did. Luckily for Barack Obama the word did not get out fast enough about <a title="Ron Paul Write In Vote" href="http://thetop10reasons.com/the-top-10-reasons-why-i-wrote-in-my-2008-presidential-election-vote-for-ron-paul" target="_blank">Ron Paul</a>. He was going to eliminate the IRS the day after getting elected and put 20% of your hard earned income back into your pocket regardless of how much you make. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0446537519?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=onlinecalcul-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0446537519">Read The Ron Paul Book</a><img loading="lazy" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=onlinecalcul-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0446537519" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. With the Detroit Lions being the first ever winless team in NFL history they have actually set a record.</p>
<p>2. All Detroit Lions fans now can stop talking about when the Lions were going to go winless and now they can say it happened in 2008.</p>
<p>3. Ticket prices at Ford Field will not go up next year because not even the Ford&#8217;s have the balls to do that. Back in 2007 they did. &#8220;Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, fool me three times&#8230;.well you&#8217;re not going to fool me three times&#8221;&#8230;George W.Bush</p>
<p>4. Maybe if the Detroit Lions ever get back to the glory days of 8-8 we can all enjoy being in the race for a playoff spot instead of the #1 draft pick.</p>
<p>5. We know the Detroit Lions are going to draft a QB because they think a QB will solve their problems. The Detroit Lions must have never heard of the classic football saying of &#8220;Offense sells tickets and Defense wins championships.&#8221; (Read about Joey Harrington for proof)</p>
<p>6. The most entertaining thing anybody saw in section 108 row 2 saw this year was during the Tampa Bay game where some lady was hammered drunk and threw up on the field. This was when the Lions were up 17-0. After security removed her, the Lions were down 21-17. This all took place within a matter of 8 minutes.</p>
<p>7. To lure (trick) ex-Detroit Lions fans back to Ford Field maybe they will have &#8220;bring your mug games&#8221; to the field and charge $20 for as much beer as you can drink instead of the $7.50 beers that are there now. Ridiculous.</p>
<p>8. Ford Field will end up being the best <a title="Foreclosure Advice" href="http://thetop10reasons.com/the-top-10-reasons-why-foreclosure-is-not-a-bad-idea" target="_blank">foreclosed</a> piece of property in Detroit. Equipped with luxury suites, 47 kitchens, 84 bathrooms, a guest house (visitors locker room), and two jumbo screen TV&#8217;s. What a deal! </p>
<p>9. Hopefully William Clay Ford Sr will realize that he knows nothing about football and open up his checkbook and hire somebody who knows a thing or two about football. (See <a title="Bill Parcells" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Parcells" target="_blank">Bill Parcells</a>)</p>
<p>10. With an 0-16 record my dad has no choice this year but to not renew his season tickets. I know his argument is that he has had seniority for 30 years or so but who cares. Your seniority is for a product that sucks. When you own season tickets and only go to half of the games (and can attend the half you don&#8217;t go to) its time to punt. Anybody looking for two seats in section 108 row 2 on the aisle? They are right behind where Jason Hanson and Nick Harris warm up. If so, <a title="Contact Me" href="http://thetop10reasons.com/contact" target="_blank">contact me</a>.</p>
