Enough! I have to watch my blood pressure.

It does no good to yell back to radio talk show hosts who have control with a kill button on the last word. It does no good to get angry at TV’s “Catfight Katie Couric” for communicating that Nowhere, Alaskans, do not read books, magazines, or newspapers. By the time Alaskans vote the polls in the lower 48 have been closed anyhow.

What I can do as a “slow thinking” American is to wonder out loud, “Say, what ever happened to the graduated Income Tax,” considered by many Congressmen as “unfair.” Would asking John Paulson to pay the health care costs of his unsuspecting “worker investors” that created a foreclosure crisis for his benefit, out of his $3.7 Billion hedge fund profits really seem that unreasonable?

Or that commodity brokers that may have been profited so from an unpredictable price of metals since the voice of reason from the U.S. Bureau of Mines was so savagely silenced, should pay the price for their treachery by paying the cost of a new USBM to catch up with Canada, Mexico, China, Russia, Pakistan, and Iran happen to be in “green minerals”? Or should that be a “metals monopoly” tax.

We small miners haven't asked for much —other than to keep spoiled brat tree-huggers from pouring sugar into gas tanks— but you know, back in the 50’s when strategic minerals were still considered important, and tax laws supported exploration, over consumption, we at least had a fair shot at financing development.

Now that I have covered complaints over Wall Street from the mining industry point of view, would someone more in tune with MBA thinking please explain to me as a citizen how is it bankers who engineered the financial crisis in the first place are considered so important, their wisdom so vital, and their services need to be retained? Don’t pay these failed ‘leaders’ bonuses for doing stupid things. Let them democratically compete in a free marketplace of the unemployment line.

What do you think? I am providing my phone number below for your input.
