Ron Paul’s opinions about cutting the budget are well-known, but on Monday, he’ll get specific: the Texas congressman will lay out a budget blueprint for deep and far-reaching cuts to federal spending, including the elimination of five…

The boss.
Last night my business partners and I brought in three of my corporate job paychecks in three hours of our business being open.
It will not be long now and I will be saying goodbye to corporate America and begin dominating my competition.
In what you ask? It doesn’t matter. Steve Prefontaine once said to beat him in a race his competitor would have to die trying.

So I’ve spoken to Thomas, who is also an INTJ, and I told him that I would be forced to post his guide on tumblr to share with the world more thoroughly, and here I’m doing just that, because it’s a very accurate guide, and well written at that.

wop pow!
The war on poverty seems a hell of a lot easier to win when you realize some people are simply inferior and if not assisted by friends, family, and others under their own free will, should and will starve and die. That’s the natural course of things. I guess a “let them die” ad campaign doesn’t carry the same sentimental heart string vote that “THE WAR ON...
