But yet no one can get the Swiss to give up information on the millions of dollars of property stolen from the Holocaust victims by the Nazi government and stored in their vaults and protected accounts!
WASHINGTON – Swiss banking giant UBS AG agreed Wednesday to turn over to the IRS the details of 4,450 accounts suspected of holding undeclared assets by American customers, ending an intense trans-Atlantic legal fight.
IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman said the accounts held $18 billion in assets at one time. Many have since been closed, he said.
The deal will give the Internal Revenue Service thousands of long-sought account names, and is expected to provide even more UBS clients who voluntarily disclose their financial details to the agency, Shulman said.

Amen! And Pass the Ammunition!
FIRST BOOK OF GOVERNMENT ....PSALM 2009
Obama is the shepherd I did not want.
He leadeth me beside the still factories.
He restoreth my faith in the Republican party.
He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread line, I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with me.
He has anointed my income with taxes, My expenses runneth over.
Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life, And I will live in a mortgaged home forever.
I am glad I am American, I am glad that I am free. But I wish I was a dog ...And Obama was a tree.

Why Should I Respect Your President? You Didn't Respect Mine.
I wish I could say I wrote much of this...
I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans, called upon America to unite behind Obama. Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Obama!
I will respect the Office which he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and wordsmith and pray for him, BUT that is it. I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that He is a one-term President!
Why am I doing this? It is because I do not share Obama's vision or Value system for America; I do not share his Abortion beliefs; I do not share his radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth; I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August); I do not share his view that America is Arrogant; I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation; I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%; I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegal's than American Citizens who need help; I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage; I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and Israel is our enemy who should give up any land; I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public); I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in America; I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East, and I certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran.
Bottom line, my America is vastly different from Obama's, and I have a higher obligation to my Country and my God to do what is Right! For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for their celebrity status, have attacked former President Bush, his family, and his spiritual beliefs! They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country! They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant! They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years; they have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of our Country! They have made every effort to remove the name of God or Jesus Christ from our Society! They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code; they have attacked one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech! Unite behind Obama? Never!
I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard, but I refuse to retreat one more inch. PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his Presidency, and I am not sure how history will judge him. However, I believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!! Majority rules in America and I will honor the concept; however, I will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and "his goals for America." I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will destroy our Country!! Any more compromise is more defeat! I pray that the results of this election will wake up many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-God crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America!

Words from a Wise Man
It’s Not Wealth Redistribution… It’s Highway Robbery
You know we have this whole wealth redistribution all wrong. We tend to argue against Obama’s wealth redistribution with the ideas and arguments that he wants to take money from those of us that work and give it to those that don’t. That may be true in a small way but the real wealth redistribution happens on a much larger scale; money flowing to the special interests makes the money going to the “needy” and the bums look miniscule in comparison.
Consider the Environmental groups and their lobbiests pushing for all this so called renewable energy, wind turbines, solar cells, ethanol, biodoesel and others. The dollars going to these groups is astounding with little to no hope of a real solution to the problems they are supposedly targeting or for a payback from the investments. How about Acorn and their ilk? They were recipients of a large chunk of bailout money and what was that for again? Exactly what jobs were going to be created? Money flows out of Obama’s Washington to groups and social programs that will never ever return anything to the long term well being of this country except more debt and more people on the dole.
Now I know that anyone reading this might say; “well how is that any different than what the Republicans do when they favor business?”; in theory, none, but in results, plenty. Favors to business is often touted as evil because it puts money into the hands of money grubbing business men and we all know how evil those business men are right? I mean they take the money and use it to build factories, develop products, create jobs, and so on. I know I know they also pocket a whole bumch of it too. BUT and it’s a big but, a whole lot of it does indeed go to long term economic stability and growth because they actually produce something of value versus redistribute it to organizations and individuals that produce nothing but more load on all of us.We have to quit arguing wealth redistribution and start yelling about the highway robbery perpetrated on all of us. Think about it; why would anyone feel sorry for a guy that makes more than $250K per year? Most of the population is no where near that sort of figure so they most likely cannot even remotely feel sorry for those that are. Instead we need to argue that we are being robbed as a whole to benefit a paltry few and how those few don’t care about ANY and ALL of us that contribute. We need to call Obama out on the how his programs affect ALL of us not just the haves but also the have nots because the have nots will never have in Obama’s world.
