Mike, I could guarantee you one thing, and that is if I were President, I would veto any bill that called for an increase in taxes of any kind. We pay more than enough taxes. What we need is a government that has the guts to curb spending, and start doing away with "Free" handouts to those whose votes we think we so desperately need. I hear politicians from both parties talking about "Free Medical care", "Free education", "Free retirement", Free prescriptions".......Folks, NOTHING is free. If the government had money, they could call it "Free", but the government has NO money. Zero, Zip, Nada, except that which it confiscates from its citizens in the form of taxes. We all need to pay our fair share of taxes for national security, roads, police protection, fire protection, and those few things which are for the common good, but nobody should be obligated to pay one penny in taxes which takes it from one person and transfers it to another. Nobody is entitled to entitlements. They are paid for from confiscated funds. I have yet to hear any politician, Rep. or Dem., tell the honest truth about where "Free" entitlements come from. I would also veto any bill that creates one more regulatory bureocracy which stiffles our ability to produce goods and services. Companies are regulated out of business or out of the country. Our Oil industry is regulated out of its ability to produce enough energy, yet we will buy energy from countries who have no such regulations. I believe that we could have a good President if he were willing to serve one term, and do the right thing regardless of how unpopular it may be, but doing the unpopular thing wont get too many people re-elected, so they keep doing the same ole same ole. Pandering to the same ole same ole, and expecting different results. Folks, it isnt our corporations who are the culprits here, its our good friends in government, and it starts at the local level, and works itself all the way to the top.

A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
