I'll  be 63 soon. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce,`and a six-month period  when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a  good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to  get where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired. Very tired.  

I'm  tired of being  told that I have to "spread the wealth around" to people` who don't  have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take  the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too  lazy or stupid to earn it.  

President Obama wants a final vote on healthcare by March 18th or before.  He can get what he wants faster than you might think.

The U.S. government reportedly has awarded billions to companies doing business with Iran, often in violation of U.S. sanctions, over the past decade -- a reality that suggests the new round of sanctions being sought through the United Nations could have limited effect.
