		<description>I only work with client A OR client B. Never both. 

My average customer has increased their sales by 57% in the last 6 months. 

In the middle of a recession. 

It applies to all kinds of places. 

For example, it&#039;s very like there is a way to double or triple the number of people who signed up to the RedState Strike Force by applying these methods.

And, yes. Some of the smarter Dems already do.</description>

		<description>I am not a fear monger and I would never do this if the evidence right now doesn’t show this is coming.

We are headed for the Greater depression if the leadership doesn’t start opposing this Guy damn soon. I love REDSTATE, but we need to start screaming or we are all going to be deathly poor through wealth destruction or inflation destruction.

GET THROUGH YOUR DENIAL STAGE AND GET ANGRY!

BO and Geithner are doing this on purpose to destroy any economic opposition in the future from any enterprise. This is why they are incredibly absence and letting the crash occur + all the Limbaugh distraction.

THIS IS NO JOKE! I’ve studied every recession including the Great depression. This looks worse. Why? Because back then there were no other enterprise countries to replace our role + the government was not intentionally trying to destroy us.

Intentionally? Yes

Remember back during the election when BO was asked if he would raise taxes during a Recession. He was advised by 10 of the best economists who said that it would be a death nail to do that. BO said he would consider the circumstances and thought it would be a bad idea. Did anyone listen to Geithner’s testimony over the last couple of days. It was all about raising taxes - during a recession to boot!

CAN YOU SAY DOUBLE DEATH NAIL!!!!!!!!
The patient isn’t even dead yet and they are nailing that coffin shut

China and Russia can easily supply the world with goods and energy and our financial structure which we outsourced to the rest of the world and replace our role.

All that will be left of America is the vision of a debtor squatter not unlike that of these ACORN Protestors trying to save a Home for a NINJA borrower who should have gone into foreclosure back in 2007

THEN IT WILL BECOME MANDATORY TO PRAY TO THE MESSIAH, They call “The One” in order to get your Government handout!!!!

I am going to have to dig up my Fedora in my attic so that nobody recognizes me in the bread line.</description>

		<description>has experience in that area.  

Sounds like an interesting business. Do you get any conflicts with both client A and client B wanting to sell the same product?

Anyway, I&#039;m glad you decided to overcome your fear of insurance and start producing for yourself and the country.</description>

		<description>you&#039;re still the same eloquent, loquacious guy who actually managed to get me to vote for Sen. McCain over my dead body (no mean feat).

What a beautifully written treatise on the true cost of the liberal, socialist mind - the subjugation of the soul. Your prose is exceded only by your content. While there may be some in this thread who have angst over their perception that you are denigrating the poor, I believe it is only because they&#039;re failing to see your overarching point - that the dogmatic premise that government alone can rescue the downtrodden which leaves the soul in chains unable to see the blazing beauty of freedom.

Well done, my friend.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the thoughtful reply, I appreciate it! On the premise that a problem must be under the auspices of government to be considered a problem: I agree that is a liberal premise. I brought it up to illustrate how I would foresee a policy dialogue progressing in the modern day between the two sides. I do disagree that poverty in this country can be considered oppression, except that perhaps it is oppression perpetrated by God Himself. We can agree that it is our fellow man that we should look to for ways out of this poverty, and not the government-I just tend to think that if we grant the term poverty as somewhat equivalent to the term oppression, we are on a weaker footing when arguing against government intervention into this problem. Anyway, good thoughts my friend, I very much liked the original post and the reply. Thanks again!</description>

		<description>Just my own healthcare for me and my son (he has epilepsy and needs expensive medication).

At the time I started my business, we were living in a 1 room house with no kitchen. 

I washed my dishes in a bath tub for 2 years.</description>

		<description>Specifically conversion optimization and multivariate testing.

Basically, I solve this problem...

If you can imagine 3 web sites all sell the identical product - say a vegetable juicer and they each get 1000 visitors.

They all sell at the same price, same shipping and same terms and conditions. They are all reputable. 

In the real world, one site might 10 juicers and another sell 50 juicers and the third 25 juicers. 

Why the difference? And how can the guy selling 25 sell 70?

That&#039;s what I do. I get paid to run the test and then a bonus based on the lift in sales.</description>

		<description>&quot;What in the world would provoke someone to start a business when the current government intends to tax capitalism out of existence? And where would they find the capital to start a private enterprise anyway?&quot;

I have my own business...

Its booming. 

I can&#039;t get to all the work I&#039;m being offered. 

I tried doubling my prices - we still can&#039;t get to all of it. 

I am hiring. 

In the middle of a &quot;recession&quot; With Oboma as president. And Pelosi. 

Your doom and gloom thinking may be good for rallying the base and getting more readers on a blog, but if someone is ever thinking of applying it to their life - THEY ARE NUTS!!!

NewsFlash - There are few places or moments in the history of mankind that are better for starting a business than in the USA. This is the greatest economic engine in the history of the world. There is more opportunity here than anywhere else.

EVEN IN A RECESSION

Now, if you want to say that Washington can make it a worse, yeah sure. BUT THERE IS STILL ENDLESS OPPORTUNITY. 

Don&#039;t let a hyper partisan blog cloud your thinking.

Seriously.</description>

		<description>However, Leopard 1996, some historical information.  Since the 1860&#039;s, the Russian government had been moving, in fits and starts, towards more economic freedom and, even slower, towards political freedom. 

The Tsar did not own everything in Russia and there was an emerging middle class as well as peasants  and other non-noble individuals who were very wealthy. 

In Cuba, although political freedom was restricted, there was economic freedom.  Cuba, under that evil man Batista, was one of the most prosperous countries in Latin America.

Lenin and Castro could not spread the wealth so they spread the poverty.  It took the Soviet Union 70 years to fall and Cuba, once the formost sugar porducing country in Latin America, now imports sugar.</description>

		<description>The quality of state-sponsored health care varies tremendously from State to State - something I hope our resident idiots in Washington consider when speeding forward on Obamacare.  The system was a disaster in Hawaii - went under in just 7 months because it tried to be everything for everyone.  Tennessee had to have a major adjustment a few years back (the system was so popular that influxes of residents from surrounding states was bankrupting the system, among other things).  It provides the bare minimum care, with provisions to cover catastrophes (but isn&#039;t that all health insurance is supposed to do?  

Where did people get the idea they were entitled to the same expansive health care as our elected senators and representatives in Washington?  In fact, where did they get the idea THEY were entitled to that?)  As Janis points out, providing the service is one thing - you still have to encourage the parents to take advantage of it.</description>
