He has the most money to get his message out now that the other two top tier candidates are running thin on cash, but will the evangelicals be suspicious of a Mormon?? I think they will.<BR/><BR/>Although, I think this will be the first time since 1980 that the republican winner coming out of South Carolina does not go on (with all the momentum) and win on Super Tuesday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30694877.post-78943969837294567352008-01-16T15:26:00.000-04:002008-01-16T15:26:00.000-04:00Restoring the Middle Class, Prosperity and Quality...Restoring the Middle Class, Prosperity and Quality Jobs in the United States<BR/> <BR/>You must have a viable strategy that will be inherently financially supported and carried forward by the "invisible hand of economic globalization". The US is declining as the global economic leader, only because the Fed Gov and powerful interests do not have a viable strategy. <BR/><BR/>The US became the Economic Leader of the World only by the recognized hard work of Franklin, Edison, Westinghouse, Henry Ford, Einstein, and the countless technically creative, engineers and scientists, inventors, as strong individual leaders, led the world in INNOVATION. (Greenspan has listed INNOVATION as the missing ingredient in the current US strategy, that was previously was in place, and the related Intellectual Property and Patents, built this country to become the World Leader). <BR/><BR/>The adverse influence of powerful large entities, major venture capitalists, CEO’s, and other powers using lobbies, now erroneously promote what actually built this US, as high risk, discouraging financial support for qualified individual technologists, inventors, scientists, and engineers. We are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.<BR/><BR/>Most important the current US decline can only be eradicated by a new direction to create a quality domestic industry, protected from the “offshore competition” by innovations Americans control with US Patents. Studies at MIT and other entities have proven that these qualified individuals working independently have, always created the most significant inventions and new manufacturing with secure quality jobs. <BR/> <BR/>Restoring the Middle Class, prosperity and quality jobs in the US will only happen when you create approval certification programs for technologists to receive financial backing, and restore tax shelters for financial support of individual qualified engineers, scientists, medical doctors, researchers, inventors, and start-ups. In this way, the current 80% employment that is provided by small entities would generate a wealthy middle class, instead of a group of “hamburger flippers”. This will also solve the problem of math and science leadership of young people, and encourage the neglected 40% of high IQ students to pursue math and science.<BR/><BR/>As a graduate engineer and small entity inventor, I have started ventures and provided quality jobs, some under now defunct technical tax shelters, and in other instances the corporate large entities, like the old “robber barons” have managed to rob me of some of my important Intellectual Property. My personal experience validates the sad lack of financial support for technologists.<BR/><BR/>David A.
