Steven: What's new!

We have a new president! Yay Obama! I'm glad he won and I really think he'll do alot of good for the country even though he might not have as much experience. I think people are stupid for believing in all this socialism crap. He's going to tax people who are making over so much money yes and he's going to use it to help fund schooling and health care and retirement and stuff like that which will help the middle and lower class but I don't understand why so many people are saying because Obama won now I shouldn't work and just live off the government. That's just stupid. People are also saying I shouldn't start a business or make money cause I'll get taxed even more. They're saying people who make over 100,000 or 200,000 dollars worked hard for that money and they shouldn't have to give their money to people who don't want to work. Of course if you have any sense you'll see just how stupid that reasoning is. True there are people out there who are lazy and aren't wealthy because they don't try but there are many many many many more people who work their asses off everyday but just can't seem to get a break. For example, a family of five where both parents work; one lets say works at a manufacturing plant and the other is a school teacher and they spend all their money making sure their kids get a good education. Are you saying these people work less hard than a CEO of a company? NO. But I'll bet you the CEO is making a hell of alot more money. So I say why not tax the CEO more. It might keep him/her from buying that new BMW or new house, but what's more important a family having healthcare or a new car? If you said a new car which I actually believe some people would say then government has to step in cause expecting people to donate their money or help their community might be setting our expectations a little high. Enough politics. Sorry. Anyone see the Browns/Broncos last night? I took a chance with my fantasy team and started Quinn and Torain. I didn't watch the game but I checked their stats with 6 mins to go in the first half. Quinn had 70 yards passing and 2 touchdowns and Torain and 60 yards rushing and one touchdown. I was excited, if they kept playing like that each would have well over 20 points. Of course I jinxed it by checking the stats cause Torain had gotten injured only a couple minutes before that and Quinn, though he had 200 more yards passing, did not throw another TD. Which sucks. Luckily, Eddie Royal stepped up and got 22 points on his own. One last thing before I go back to work, Liverpool plays tomorrow at 11:30! And Torres might be back! Even if he's not they're still going to kick West Brom's ass!!!!
