     I’m a little confused.  According to my statistics page this month, other months to a greater extent, I have had only 67 unique visitors with a total of 121 visits.  That means that some of the people visited more than once.  106 of those visits were 30 seconds or less and a total of 95.7% of the pages were from direct address, bookmark or links in e-mails.  Since I haven’t sent that many e-mails with links to by blog, I’m inclined to believe my blog is on somebody’s favorites list. 

 

     Which brings me to my question.  I’m wondering why so many people spend only 30 seconds or less on my blog.  Is it not what you were looking for?  Are you looking for a specific subject?  I have had a few people ask me to write more about certain subjects but they were not all for the same subject and usually only one person at that.  Are you, maybe, just coming long enough to copy a post and leave hoping your IP address isn’t captured so I don’t start contacting you personally?  Let me reassure you there are very few people that I have tried to contact that have left comments and none of those that didn’t.  Even though my statistics page does capture every IP address no matter how short your visit is.  If you want to read what I have to write, please spend time at my blog and read as much as you like and please leave a comment about what you read.  I won’t contact you unless what you say gives me reason to contact you and then there is no guarantee that I will even then.  If you want correspondence, please tell me so.  If you don’t, I wont.  I’m just wondering why so many, especially return visits, spend so little time there if there is some reason you keep returning.  I like visitors, I like comments, but that doesn’t mean that I will write you back.  Just please help me understand.  I think what I have to say is either important or have been told by others (more than 1 or 2) that they want to read more about a subject.  Please help me understand.  Thank you for your help.  GOD bless.  Y’all take care now.  Later.

On this date, the Bush tax cuts, enacted in 2001 and 2003, completely expire.

We must urge Congress and the president to renew the Bush tax cuts early, before they expire and before investors lose confidence in the U.S. economy.

Sen. Fred Thompson

The automatic tax increase that will begin on Jan. 1, 2011, and could have catastrophic consequences for the economy.

Petition to Renew the Bush Tax Cuts

I, the undersigned, an American citizen, taxpayer, and voter.

Whereas the U.S. is facing one of the worst recessions since the Great Depression;

Whereas consumer spending and economic activity has contracted causing the downturn and high unemployment;

Whereas the Bush tax cuts, enacted in 2001 and 2003, will fully and automatically expire as of Dec. 31, 2010;

Whereas the expiration of these cuts will cause a massive tax rate increase for almost all working Americans, including those in the:

·                35% bracket which will increase to 39.6% ·                33% bracket which will increase to 36% ·                28% bracket which will increase to 31% ·                25% bracket which will increase to 28% ·                10% and 15% will condense to 15% Whereas the capital gains tax will increase from 15% to 20%

Whereas the tax on dividends will increase from 15% to 39.6%

We demand that our representatives in Congress fully and completely renew the Bush tax cuts; and do so without delay to ensure public confidence in the markets and economy.
