The Real Money

I picked the title of my blog for a reason to speak of what is real money. My personal ideas of how to protect yourself from an overspending Government and the falacy of a paper dollar backed by tax payers. Working folks will understand that statement. With the recent mention in the news of pensions might be cut some is another who done it and why. You can only tax so much before it`s all gone. The real solution is a sustainable economy which would continue to produce tax revenues for the needy. Saying that, should we be concerned when 47 % and probably higher are now on public assistance. Where is the encouragement for going and getting a job for those folks when one particular party promises to give them more just for the vote and their power. 47 % is too high and is abused hurting the ones that really need it. Don`t get me wrong and please don`t read into it to make asumptions we need to provide for the needy, it`s the fraud I am concerned with and the promise that leads to a cliff at the end. The mention to cut pensions down is an example of how it is not real money when there is grubby hands out there all too willing to get some of it. Private ownership and investment incentive as security is a much better option and should be encouraged to protect one`s self and their family. Pension`s like Social Scurity is a promise to take from peter to pay for paul. That shaky ground. Wealth whether it be land, owning a business or your house should be considered over any promise. Silver and Gold should be too.
