Do we even fully know the extent Wall Street is screwing us all?

The answer is probably not, because if Matt Taibbi's report in Rolling Stone back in July 2009 is any indication, all of us are simply little game pieces on a giant board game known as the "US Economy".

Virtually everything relating to the way our lives are being lived from day to day, the financial engine that shapes our routine of transactions on a daily basis, are directly and indirectly affected.

When will the American people stage a public outcry in response to Goldman Sachs ?

Link to article on lawsuits against Goldman Sachs bonuses adding up to more than its total earnings.

Fellow American taxpayers and voters, when are you going to stop bickering, bitching and complaining about political parties and start taking actions ? All these stupidity against a political party, whether it is the Republicans or the Democrats, are downright ridiculous when the real bottom-line is that they are all in the "game". Yes, in case some of you are still as dumb as a rock, both Democrats and Republicans have their hands and their feet with Wall Street. It is time to take it personal, for yourself and the people you care about, your family and community.

How Conservatives can clean-up the GOP ?

It is very important that Conservatives begin removing the insanity in the Republican Party. Yes, the Conservatives who actually understand fiscal responsibility ..... not the so-called Conservatives who are puppets for lobbyists.

Bruce Bartlett, a prominent Reagan-era domestic policy adviser and Treasury Department economist under President George H.W. Bush, penned a sharp piece in Forbes about the hypocrisy so openly displayed by the Republicans ..... without even a shade of shame. Such behavior cannot be tolerated, and it is up to the Conservatives to clean-up the GOP, before these RINOs cause any further damage to an already ailing political cornerstone.

Bartlett highlighted the Medicare drug benefit as an example of major embarrassment for fiscal responsibility. He made a great point in comparing that to the current Health Care Reform Bills.

It is really time to put a complete stop to the insanity, perpetrated by talking-heads such as Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and so on. It is time for Conservatives to distance themselves from the "bad apples", so that the entire "basket" is not ruined.

Here is a good place to start ..... through an iPhone commercial parody:

Another Ridiculous Law in Michigan

How often do we need to report about these stupid laws, before someone with some common sense stands up in the Michigan legislature and do something about them ?

DoTakeItPersonal.com had already written about the Child Protective Services (CPS) doing more harm to children and their healthy family environment through senseless enforcements. Today, we hear about another such stories happening in our state.

Seriously, folks, what is wrong with these lawmakers in Lansing ? If we can't even rely on them to fix such silly events from occurring ..... what chance do we have for them to achieve anything in regards to more complicated issues ?

How Ridiculous Can Partisan Politics Get ?

We here at DoTakeItPersonal.com try our best to stay neutral and non-partisan when it comes to political issues. Sometimes, we come off as being a little on the conservative side; while other times, we come off as being a little on the liberal side. At the end of the day, we believe that everything is a wash, and we are squarely neutral and non-partisan overall.

As hard as we try to avoid acknowledging stupidity and misinformation, it is often impossible to turn a blind eye to something so bizarre, you've gotta check again to be sure you're not missing something or another.

The recent GOP outcry about President Obama is certainly one such case .....

Seriously, come on now, Republicans ..... Make Up Your Mind, for goodness sake, he can't be a Muslim, Communist, Nazi, Fascist, Socialist and etc. all at the same damn time simultaneously !!

Listen, there are many core conservative values that Republicans stand for. These core conservative values are still important to the American public; such as smaller government, controlling government spending, religion, and etc. We have met a number of Republican clubs on the grass-root level, and it is clear that the party has gone off-track with all these tea-party protests, "birther" movement and so on. Let's put a stop to all these nonsense, and focus on the true GOP principles.
