Story by Jodi Ilsye
Acura of Denville has served NorthJersey for more than twenty years,but on Saturday October 22, the
dealership putall paws on deck for petsafe-
ty. Along with partner Mt. Pleasant AnimalShelter, Acura of Denville hosted amicrochipping clinic to help local pet own-ers protect the furry and fluffy members oftheir families.
Unlike tags or collars, microchips last alifetime. Like a permanent pet ID, they arecurrently the most effective way of reunit-ing missing pets with their owners. That day
over fifty dogs and cats were chipped at aspecial discounted rate, offering pet ownersa peace of mind Vice President StevenLustig understands all too well. I was dev-astatedwhen my dog Belle went missing for
a few hours,he says.(Shewas off on a soloexplorationmission.) I knowwhat a differ-encea chipcan make. Im gladwe can offerthis service to our customers.
Lustigs passion for animals runs in thefamily. The Lustigs are longtime supportersof pet adoption and welfare. In addition tosupporting national organizations as theASPCAand the US Humane Society, Acura
Acura of Denvilles Pet Projectof Denville has assisted local Greyhoundadoption services and is a major supporterof Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter. Jax, theLustig family s Bearded Colli e, a Mt .Pleasant Animal Shelter adoptee, can oftenbe foundon the showroom floorat Acura ofDenville greeting customers. He was a tail-wagging presence at the microchippingevent, welcoming animals from the shelterstill looking fortheir foreverhome and nuz-zling noses with visitors on their way to thewater bowl. Dealership staff was on hand toserve treats to the guests and their keepers.
This isnt the first time Acura of Denville
and Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter have col-laborated for a good cause. In September,the dealership was a platinum sponsor ofMutts Mania at Lurker Park in EastHanover where over 800 guests, staff andvolunteers enjoyed browsing more than 50different vendors and pets got to try thedoggie agility classes, compete in the pettrick contestsand enjoy samples of toys andtreats.After thesuccessof the inaugural PetMicrochipping Clinic, the hope is that itwill become an annual event at the dealer-ship in the future. Jax has given it his fourlicks and a woof approval.

When rolling around business ideas, it was
important to both Tom and Sandy for their
business to be environmentally friendly and

Tom, By offering people the opportunity to
sell their things in our store, we are keeping
them out of the landfill, and if items dont
sell after 12 weeks, we give our customers

Cognitive Skills (also
called processing
skills, or intelli-
gence) determine how easy,
fast, and well we learn andperform. They are the men-
tal tools required to process
information, and the better
the tool, the better the per-
formance.
Phonemic awareness is
the ability to blend and seg-
ment sounds. That one cog-
nitive skill alone is the
cause of 88% of all reading
problems.(2) Activities such
as golfing, skiing or playingpiano require training, not
teaching. It is the same with
building mental skills.
Cognitive skills cant be
taught they require train-
ing, practice and drill.
Fifteen hours of lecture
about playing piano will get
you minimal improvement
compared to 15 hours of
practice. The same is true of
cognitive skills!
of individual skills rather
than just telling you your IQ
or learning style. Following
the test will be a compre-
hensive consultation that
will give you the chance toask questions and learn
more about the test results.
Once you know the reasons
behind the struggles youre
facing, you can determine
the optimal solution.
Three reasons why your
first step should be to deter-
mine the real cause.
A Cognitive Assessment
will:
1.) Eliminate guesswork.You can know the exact
cause foremost learning,
reading If you or someone
you love has difficulty
learning, or has a reading
problem, and you want to
do something about it,
please take the first step -
find the cause.
Unfortunately, these skills
are often ignored. Instead,
we just ask our students to
work harder or try again.
Tutoring often fails because
SYMPTOMS are targeted
rather than CAUSES.
In a 2005 study of 56,000
students using 36 differenttutoring programs, the aver-
age result after one year of
tutoring was less than 2
weeks net reading gain -
even less in math.(3)
But another 2005 study
showed that when reading
instruction followed cogni-
tive training, the average net
gain in reading was over 3
years! This is many times
what is gained by tutoring -at a fraction of the cost per
year gain.(4)
Studies show that mental
skills can be CHANGED!
Studies show that six
months of brain training
intervention can dramatical-
ly raise these cognitive
skills about 30 percentile
points (a student performing
at the 25th percentile level
can expect to improve per-
Unlocking the Cause of Learning and Reading Strugglesformance to the 55th percentile level).(5)(6)
Mental skills can be improved not by
teaching, but by practice and training.
The brain responds to use and disuse by
either growing and remaining vital or
decaying, and thus, for the first time,we are learning to see mental weakness-
es as physical systems in need of training
and practice. Dr. John J. Ratey,
Harvard Medical School, A Users Guide
to the Brain
2) Help you avoid wasting money, time
and effort pursuing wrong treatment choic-
es. A cognitive assessment helps you under-
stand what skills need to change in order to
improve learning performance by target-
ing the cause rather than just the symptoms.
3) Provide a baseline measurement ofmental strengths and weaknesses. You will
clearly know what gaps there are between
your present mental abilities and the abili-
ties you want or need. You dont need to
wait a year or pay $1,100 to $4,000 to find

Local Expert Shows NJ Parents HowTo Get The Most Money For Their
Childrens College Education
New Jersey parents suffering withfinding ways to pay for their chil-
drens college education can final-
ly get the solutions to their college funding
problems.
Most families who earn $75,000 or more
and own a home assume they are not eligi-
ble for financial aid. However, most fami-
lies with income over $100,000 are actually
eligible for some types of need based
financial aid. They simply need to know
how to get their fair share.According to Newell, there are several
easy things parents can do to substantially
increase the amount of money they get from
colleges. For example, There are several
schools that historically give better finan-
cial aid packages than others, says Newell.
If families do proper income and asset
planning before filling out the forms, they
can increase eligibility by thousands of dol-
lars.
Newell offers a few simple tips to par-
ents with college funding problems. If a
parent has only half an hour to end their col-lege funding problems, I would suggest the
following:
1. Make sure they do not over-value their
home on the financial aid forms
2. Try not to save money in the childs
name as it weighs more heavily than the
parents savings
3. Dont be afraid to negotiate with a col-
lege for a better financial aid package.
Newell offers New Jersey parents with
college funding problems a free booklet
that explains the 9 most common collegefunding problems and solutions. Free copies
will be distributed at the seminar listed
below.
Mr. Newell will be conducting a free
one-hour seminar for parents of college
bound high school juniors and seniors at the
following location: The Washington Twp.

It rarely snows in October. In fact, this
Noreaster that hit the east coast two
days before Halloween this year was an
anomaly. It was only the fourth October
snowstorm in more than one hundred years!
And we witnessed the reason why.
Branches that had yet to shed their autumn
leaves, became laden with snow and gave
way to their heavy burden.
When you think about it, the cycle of the
seasons is an amazing design. Mother
Nature waiting patiently until her trees have
dropped their leaves before sprinkling the
snows of Winter, inherently protectingthem from disaster. But this timeit didnt
work. This time, an unforeseen and rare
occurrence took place and many trees were
damaged or lost.
I suppose the storm is kind of like life.
You move in your ordinary cycle, becoming
complacent, expecting that one day will be
the same as the next. Then out of the blue,
an unusual storm rolls in. A storm you
arent prepared to weather, you become bat-
tered and scarred.
Out in front of our house, we have an
ornamental red maple. A small, wide, pret-
ty tree that marks the entrance to our home.
About two weeks ago I noticed it was get-
ting a bit full and thought I should prune it
back. But other tasks took my time and
attention and I never got around to cutting
it.
When the storm hit this weekend, like
many other trees around, our little maple
was tested. Those branches, which I hadnt
thinned out and lightened, collected the
heavy snow, and when the burden became
too much to bear, the tree split under the
duress. The left side of our little tree tore
away, leaving it asymetrical and scarred.As I cleared away the damaged part of
the tree I thought about how we would need
to replace it come Springtime. It no longer
looks perfect and inviting. But the longer I
worked in its presence, the more I realized,
we all carry our scars, some on the inside,
some on the outside. Scars from broken
hearts and lost loved ones, scars from sur-
geries that removed a cancer or repaired a
broken spine, scars that helped shape us into
the resilient souls we are today. And its
these scars, our imperfections that make us
Bearing Scarsall the more beautiful.
Ill leave that little ornamental maple in
place. It has a story to tell. It says, Iweathered the storm. I may be beaten and
bruised, but my roots are strong. I may not
look as youd expect, but I am alive and
beautiful all the same. Maybe even more
so, because I have endured hardship and I
have survived.
Our little tree reminds me that you dont
give up on a living thing because its dam-aged. You love it all the more.

Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Day is observed annu-
ally. It is part of an effort designed to increase public aware-
ness of the progress, promise, and benefits of Acupuncture
and Oriental medicine. This Ancient Medicine has been
practiced for thousands of years in China, but has only
gained popularity in the U.S over the past 25 years.
Although 36% of U.S adults have used complementary and
alternative medicine, many healthcare consumers are still
unaware of alternative healthcare options and their vastbenefits. In fact, everyone can benefit from Acupuncture
whether seeking help for an existing health issue or just to
promote overall wellness and to help prevent future issues.
Acupuncture is an evidence-based modality and research
from the National Institute of Health proves that
Acupuncture is effective for use in pain management,
osteoarthritis, postoperative or chemotherapy-related nau-
sea, addiction, stroke rehabilitation, infertility and asthma,
among others. In addition, The World Health Organization
declares Acupunctures efficacy in relieving anxiety, panic
disorders, insomnia and forty-two other medical conditions.In attempts to raise awareness about Acupuncture in myown community, I am sharing some of these Acupuncture
Facts with you!
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a modality of Traditional Chinese
Medicine that requires the insertion of tiny filiform needles
into various points on the body. Acupuncture and Chinese
Medicine originated in Ancient China thousands of years
ago. The Ancient Chinese discovered that every living
being has energy that flows through invisible meridians
(energy lines) throughout the body. This energy, known as
"Qi" is the motive life force. In healthy individuals the Qi
flows smoothly through the channels/ meridians.Imbalance in the flow of Qi results in illness and/or disease.
Think of a garden hose. Water flows smoothly through
the hose as long as there are no kinks. When a kink occurs,
the water builds up on one side of the kink preventing the
water from flowing through. Now envision 14 garden
hoses attached to one another and arranged within the body.
Each hose is connected to an organ in the body. You can see
how a kink in just one of the hoses can affect all the other
hoses/organs throughout the body. The kink or blockage
results in illness and/or disease.
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is used to restore the
smooth flow of Qi (i.e. remove all the kinks) and bring
the body back to balance.
If you are still following then you are probably wonder-
ing how the kinks originate in the first place. Our Qi or
energy can become kinked or blocked from physi-
cal/emotional trauma, stress, poor lifestyle and eating
habits, seasonal changes, over-exertion, and exposure to theelements (wind, cold, dampness, heat). But have no
fearAcupuncture is here!
How does Acupuncture Work?
There are several theories regarding the Acupuncture
mechanism. Acupuncture helps the body to do what it was
meant to do- heal itself. Some of the most common theo-
ries include:
- Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins,
which relieve pain
- Acupuncture stimulates the release of neurotransmitters
(substances that that transmit nerve impulses to the brain
-Acupuncture has a profound effect on the AutonomicNervous System
- Acupuncture stimulates circulation
- Acupuncture enhances the bodys immune response
- Acupuncture influences the electrical currents of the
body
The most common question of all Does Acupuncture
Hurt?
Extremely fine needles are used in the treatment of
Acupuncture, making the experience almost painless. Most
patients don't even feel the needles being inserted. The
Acupuncture needles used are as fine as a few hairs on your
head. All of my patients find their Acupuncture treatments
to be very relaxing. In fact, most people fall asleep during
their treatment.
What is a typical Acupuncture treatment like?
Upon arrival the patient is asked to fill out a detailed
health history questionnaire. Then, the acupuncturist will
review the health history with the patient and go over the
patients primary health concern and lifestyle. The
acupuncturist will take the patient's pulses and look at
his/her tongue (In Chinese medicine the tongue and pulses
are representative of the various organ/meridian systems
and help in the diagnostic process).
After the interview, the practitioner will come up with a
diagnosis and treatment plan for the patient. The treatment
plan is specific to the individual- not their disease.
Then, the needles will be inserted into various acupunc-
ture points. The patient may feel a heaviness or tingling
sensation around the needle insertion site. The needles are
typically retained for 20-30 minutes.How many Acupuncture treatments are needed?
The number of Acupuncture treatments needed is based
on the severity and chronicity of the condition. However,
most patients experience some relief after the very first
treatment.
What kinds of needles are used in an Acupuncture
Treatment?
Tiny filiform needles are used for Acupuncture treat-
ment. All of the needles are disposable, pre-sterilized and
prepackaged. After each treatment, the needles are thrown
away and new needles are used every time.
Are there any side effects of Acupuncture treatment?Most people do not experience any side effects from
Acupuncture. Occasionally, minor bruising can occur at the
needle site.
What does Acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture is effective in treating various disorders
and symptoms including, but not limited to the following:
Addiction, Anxiety, Arthritis, Tendonitis & Joint Pain,
Asthma, Auto Injuries, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
Common Cold & Influenza, Constipation, Degenerative
Disk Disorders, Depression, Facial Rejuvenation,
Fibromyalgia, Headaches, Indigestion, Gas, Bloating,
Infertility, Insomnia, Menopause symptoms, Migraines,
Morning Sickness, Musculoskeletal pain, Nausea,
Orthopedic Conditions, Pain, PMS & Menstrual
Irregularities, Reproductive Issues, Sports Injuries, Stress,
Tendonitis, Smoking Cessation and Weight management.
What does it take to become an Acupuncturist?
In addition to obtaining a Bachelors degree,
Acupuncturists are required to undergo 3 years of schooling
at an accredited Acupuncture school. Acupuncture pro-
grams consist of various classes in the areas of Acupuncture
and Biomedicine as well as a full year of a clinical intern-
ship to obtain the experience of treating patients.
The National Certification Commission of Acupuncture
and Oriental Medicine requires that Acupuncturists take 3
National Board Examinations to test proficiency and
knowledge in the areas of Acupuncture, Theory and
Biomedicine.
The State of New Jersey requires an additional Licensing
Board Examination to obtain licensure in New Jersey.
Once licensed, Acupuncturists are required to take
Continuing Education Courses every year.

ont let last months sneak peak at

What can possibly make the holidays
more delicious, sweet, festive, bright,
and yet traditional all at the same time?
The answer is fresh grapes. Luckily, grapes from
California are in plentiful supply in all colors - red,
green and black - throughout the holiday sea-
son.
For a dinner or buffet, fresh grapes can be
added to a favorite side cranberry relish with delightful and satisfying results. In the
recipe below for Grape Cranberry Relish, two
seasonal fruits work very well together.
Grapes provide natural sweetness, so the
amount of sugar thats added to quiet the
strong tartness of cranberries is much reduced
compared to similar recipes. The relish is a
nice blend of still-noticeable grapes in a sauce
thats remarkably luscious.
Quick Tips for Holiday Entertaining with
Grapes
Fresh grapes are a versatile fruit with mul-
tiple uses.
Grapes make for easy decorations and
centerpieces in bowls and on platters or
draped from a cake plate.
Grapes can be easily frosted with
sugar, spices and finely chopped nuts. Simply
wet or dip clusters in liquid gelatin before
rolling grapes in your favorite mixture. Use
them to decorate cookie plates, cakes, pud-
dings, mousses and more. Looking for an easy hostess gift? Wrap
grape clusters multiple colors work best
in tissue paper and place in a pretty basket,
tied with a ribbon.
Grapes are a quick and easy potluck
treat, guaranteed to please, especially when
you have very little time to throw something
together.

Subaru, one of the most
respected automotive
brands, is growing
strong in Morris and Warren
Counties thanks to the addi-
tion of the Subaru of Mt.
Olive dealership nearly four
years ago. Offering all-
wheel-drive on every model,
leading consumer magazines
constantly recognize Subaru
for its strong safety record
and its commitment to fine
engineering. And while many
cars look similar, Subaru
stands apart because of its
technology, safety, and resalereputation.
So what makes a Subaru
truly different?
Symmetrical All-Wheel
Drive. Control the road.
For true control behind
the wheel, a driver needs
balance and an even distri-
bution of power that sup-
plies maximum traction to
every tire, rather than the
slip-then-grip alternative.
Every Subaru comes stan-
dard with Symmetrical All-
Wheel Drive for better sta-
bility, efficiency and a
quicker response to slippery
conditions. To be efficientand durable, Symmetrical
All-Wheel Drive mounts the
engine in-line with the dri-
vetrain and that, in turn,
helps provide a seamless
transfer of power to all four
wheels. Other AWD sys-
tems need additional, com-
plex drivetrain components
to route the power to the
wheels the more compo-
nents in a car, the greaterlikelihood of higher service
costs.
Stability and Control of
All-Wheel-Drive
Front-wheel drive vehi-
cles generally understeer or
push in a turn; rear-wheel
drive vehicles oversteer in a
turn. The Subarus balanced
design of Symmetrical All-
Wheel Drive helps add con-
trol through uniform stabili-
ty power is distributed to
the wheels with the best
traction and helps the driver
hold true to the path.
World-Leading Trans-
missions
Smoother performance.
Greater efficiency. Subaru
gives you both with innova-
tive transmission technology
that functions perfectly with
the SUBARU BOXER
engine and Subaru
Symmetrical All-Wheel
Drive. Additionally, trans-
missions are designed to be
lightweight and contribute
to keeping the Subaru agileand fuel efficient.
Automatic Mode
Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT)
CVT can reduce the
amount you spend on fuel.
Leave it in the Automatic
mode, and the gearless
transmission infinitely
adjusts to match your accel-
eration needs, thus eliminat-
ing the need to shift. CVT
also preserves the vehicle's
momentum and uses a step-
less gear ratio that allows the
Subaru engine to run at itsoptimal power range for
improved fuel economy and
performance.
SUBARU BOXER
Engine. Flat. Smooth.
Smart.
Drawn from a century of
intelligent performance, the
horizontal layout of the
SUBARU BOXER engine
combines balance with
power and efficiency. And
every Subaru comes with a
SUBARU BOXER
engine.
Horizontal Piston DesignLike the jabs of a boxer,
where the engine got its
name, the SUBARU
BOXER layout allows the
engine to be positioned in-
line with the drivetrain for
maximum transfer of power.
Many other engines are
transverse, or turned perpen-
dicular, and require addi-
tional drivetrain components
to transfer power, reducing
vehicle efficiency.
Available in small, medi-
um, and large, all Subaru
models are worth a goodlook. Symmetrical all-
wheel-drive, exceptional
fuel economy, a phenomenal
safety record, and low lease
or purchase options, make
Subaru a smart buy. To
arrange a test drive, stop-by

Route 46, Hackettstown
(next to Kevil Chevrolet), or

Did Harlin Parker in his column last month,"No Class. No War." declare war on hisneighbors ( the middle class) when he
wrote; "people in this country have always had theirdifferences (Civil War anyone?) But todaysAmerica is no longer so much a melting pot as it isa boiling pot. " and, "We need to take stock, and take
action, before things boil over." Was Harlin reallystating that if you disagree with his socialist, redistri-bution of wealth political ideology, "America is aboiling pot" he's encouraging his fellow liberals totake action? What type of action? OccupyWashington Twp.'s Town Hall and demand freestuff?
I found it odd that Harlin didn't once usethe word "liberty" when he asked the ques-tion, "What does it mean to be an American?"Were you taken aback when Harlin answeredhis question, "What does it mean to beAmerican?" when he replied "Rights! "Wehave unalienable rights, guaranteed to each ofus under our American constitution."Hmm.....I thought the constitution was theblue print for how the government was to bestructured and run. I thought we got our"rights" from the first ten amendments to theconstitution called, The Bill of Rights. Butoddly enough, I never read anything in thebill of rights that talked about how, "we needeach other, like it or not."
Who was Harlin referring to when hewrote,"Other than for a few miscreantsaround here, were all patriots?" You! Me? IsHarlin's definition of a patriot someone who
loves to have his wealth confiscated throughhigher taxes to a a big daddy governmentwelfare state? And anyone who disagreeswith that is a "miscreant?"
What world is Harlin living in when hewrote, "Yet over the past thirty years, weveseen that for too many of us, the Americandream has become not so much a nightmarebut a mirage. Too many Americans haveworked hard, worked honestly, played bythe rules only to find that the pot at the endof the rainbow slips further and further away.Why is that?"
Look at the contrast of how far Harlin hasstrayed, do you remember the saying; "If atfirst you don't succeed, try, try again?" doesany part of Harlin's manifesto, even remote-ly resemble that, especially when heanswered the question," What does it mean tobe an American?"
Since 1982, America has seen unprece-dented growth in the economy, prosperity andrevenues exponentially increase to the gov-ernment. Entrepreneurs have created billionsof dollars in new wealth. (Steve Jobs, Apple)Opportunities to go into your own business
have never been better. Immigrants, legal and
illegal forsake all to come to America for ashot at the American dream. It's all aboutopportunity, it's all about eduction and hardwork to obtain prosperity. Doesn't Harlin'smanifesto, No Class. No War. represent theentitlement mentality rather than patriotism?
Why does Harlin Parker immediatelyassume that people who disagree with his"Marxist manifesto" will scorn those who arein need? America is the most charitablenation on the face of the Earth. America hasliterally spent trillions of dollars on the wel-fare state, creating a dependent class of peo-ple that has given way to a third and fourthgeneration of welfare recipients. The FederalGovernment spends more money than it takesin in order to pay for these entitlements. Thatincludes state and local Governments. (In NJ,Abbott schools, COAH.) Food stamp recipi-ents are at an all time high. Every month inthe news there's a story about illegal immi-
grants that are getting the same tuition rates asinstate residents. No one is ever turned downat hospital emergency room if they need med-ical care. How much more money doesHarlin Parker want to take, in the form oftaxes, from hard working Americans he callsthe middle class? When is enough, enough,for Harlin?
Moreover, who was Harlin referring to as"the radical right?" A two parent workingfamily, who are self sufficient, own a home,educating their children, and are conserva-tive, pro-life Christians? In Harlin's mind
you're also "the radical right" if you are not amember of a union, think taxes are too highand government is too intrusive and spendstoo much money.
Furthermore, adnauseum, Quote, HarlinParker; "Arent we supposed to be makingthis country work for all of us, not just theprivileged top one percent? Wealth disparityand income disparity in America today is asgreat as it has ever been," Quote Karl Marx;From each according to his abilities, to eachaccording to his needs. Quote Harlin Parker;"And now those at the very top and their right
wing, Republican, enablers and sycophants,cry class war!! Quote Karl Marx; "In ahigher phase of communist society... onlythen can the narrow horizon of bourgeois*(boor-zhwah), right be fully left behind andsociety inscribe on its banners: from eachaccording to his ability, to each according tohis needs."
Who was Harlin referring to when hewrote; "Were tired of tax policies that favorthose who are already wealthy. Were espe-cially tired of right wing policies that punishthe poor and squeeze the middle class more
VE day? A wonderful day for Americaand the world. World War II came toan end in Europe. VJ day? Even bet-
ter. World War II was over. The good guyswon. Freedom and liberty triumphed, and forthat we all must be eternally grateful. Afterthat war, the world would never be the sameagain.
Horrific as it was, and it was, it is never-theless true that Americas involvement, start-ing with our real entry into the war in 1940,gave the American economy a tremendouskick start, using massive amounts of bor-rowed money and massive deficit spendingby our federal government. Over the courseof the war, in todays dollars, the federal gov-ernment borrowed, and spent, about 30 tril-lion dollars (thats $30,000,000,000,000.00).A lot of zeros, eh? It was also a tremendousamount of economic stimulus. A Keynesianeconomic stimulus. War or not, that was an
unprecedented amount of borrowing anddeficit spending. And yet the economy flour-ished. According to Republican orthodoxy,or should I say Tea Party orthodoxy, thatshouldnt have happened. That vast amountof government borrowing and the massivedeficits should have ruined the country.
So, 1945. The war is over. The federalgovernment, meaning the American people,now had enormous debts to pay. And, eco-nomically speaking, we faced the prospect ofmillions of returning soldiers and the need totransition to a peacetime economy. There
was great concern that the depression wouldreturn. Talk about a double dip! What wereall these returning soldiers going to do?
As it turned out, there was plenty for them,and the rest of the American workforce, to do.America got to work building our country asnever before. America began investing initself by investing in its people. Millions ofmen and women went to college or receivedother training with government money. Noprivate college loans for these guys. And tax-payer money was plowed (quite literally) intobuilding a physical infrastructure that paved
the way for industrial expansion. In thedecades following World War II, theAmerican dream, meaning the ability,through participation in the society and econ-omy, for everyone to achieve prosperityreally came true for millions of Americans.
Rich? Sure, some people became rich.The great achievement, though, was the riseand expansion of the great middle class. Outfrom the cities and into a private home. Sure,American society had its problems duringthat time but it is also true that a typicalAmericans standard of living improved
tremendously. Americas middle class grew
and became the envy of the world. Familieslived in comfort. Unlike today, both parentsdid not need to work 50 hour workweeksmerely to pay their taxes or mortgages.Public schools thrived, providing Americaschildren a solid education. Life was good andthere was real expectation that life wouldcontinue to improve and that the next genera-tion would do even better.
So why was that? What was true duringthat period that isnt true today? First andforemost, trade unions. Union membershipgreatly expanded during those post wardecades. Americas private industry grewand because of unions the rewards wereshared with the people who did the work.
Secondly, government regulations overprivate businesses grew. Not all that much inthe early years, but by the 1960s governmentregulations addressed at least some of theexcesses and abuses of private businesses. It
was the age of worker safety, pollution regu-lations, and even some consumer protections.
And taxes. Ah, taxes. The top federalincome tax rate in 1945 was 94% on incomeover $200,000. It stayed over 90% until 1964when it was lowered to 77%. Even so, theowners of private businesses (you know, thejob creators) did very, very well for them-selves. During those decades in America,capitalism proved itself like never before.Risk was rewarded but so was work, andeveryone was the better for it. The ghastlyincome inequality of the 1920s and 1930s
shrank. More people had more money andthey spent it, and in doing so helped fuel agrowing economy.
But that was then. If we compare snap-shots of then and now, the picture isnt pretty.Its a much, much different world. Unions(you know, the guys that brought you 40 hourworkweeks and two day weekends?) are ashadow of their former selves. Union work-ers, both in the private sector and govern-ment, are downright vilified by all those onthe political right wing.
Any government regulation, even the
smallest, is denounced as an unconstitutionaland unwarranted intrusion on private busi-ness by self righteous pro businessRepublicans, right wing conservatives, andthose businesses are people true believers.Unfortunately, those guys are winning. Overthe past several decades government regula-tions have been slashed, bashed, abolished,destroyed, undermined and ignored. Theresult? Enron, Worldcom, Tyco. The list ofAmerican businesses that have caused enor-mous economic, social and environmentalharm is long, and still growing!

Incomes taxes? Vile. Truly vile. The topfederal rate these days is 35% but we allknow that almost nobody actually pays thatamount. Hedge fund and private equity man-agers earn billions and pay a mere 15% into
the federal coffers. Right wing radicals wantto eliminate income taxes entirely. At the veryleast, they want a flat tax that will greatlyreduce taxes on the very wealthy while great-ly increasing taxes on the middle and lowerworking classes.
Education? Americas children are goingto college only to emerge saddled with tens ofthousands of dollars of debt that will weighon them for the rest of their lives until everypenny is paid off. Jobs? What jobs? Letsunderstand that even before the great tearingasunder of our economy by those wizards ofWall Street in 2008, America was shedding itsgood paying jobs.
Take a good look at this picture.Americas infrastructure is crumbling.Federal tax receipts as a percentage of ourGDP is as low now as it has just about everbeen. Our private businesses are runningrampant. Our economy, our country, isrewarding only the small sliver of people atthe very top. Income inequality is as greatnow as just about ever in American history.
So why are we doing this? Whose coun-try is this anyhow? Dont we all live here?
Arent we all Americans? Shouldnt we berunning this country so that we can all live theAmerican dream? Americas right wing ide-ologues have entrenched themselves into anaive philosophical rigidity that is stifling our
ability to turn this economy towards a direc-tion that will benefit us all. We cant go backto post World War II America. That time isgone and the world is no longer the same as itwas. But we can look to create the climatethat will allow our society to build again, tocreate again, to work again for all of us.
Government is not the enemy. Its tire-some to hear the constant carping of rightwing ideologues and their nave belief in thepurity of private enterprise and the repeatedlydisproven trickle down economics they con-stantly espouse.
We all support private enterprise. We areall capitalists. We all support and encourage,and applaud, entrepreneurs. But we also real-ize that America has to work for all of us.Clearly, it isnt now. Weve allowed theAmerican Dream to be taken away from toomany Americans. Weve replaced it with anightmare. Thats not right. It shouldnt bethat way. It doesnt have to be that way. Butlets be real. In the current climate of rightwing ideological entrenchment? Dream on.

and more." Was Harlin referring to his fellowrevolutionaries, Chris Matthews, KeithOlbermann, Rachael Maddow, the DemocratParty and today's local Washington Twp.Liberal Democrat party? Isn't this an exampleof group think?
Harlin Parker may have been born inAmerica, but he does not hold in high esteem"American ideals" to work hard and become
financially successful for all citizens. Butinstead, Harlin sees America as a place todemand rights and buys into the argument ofclass warfare, splitting everyone into groupsby economic status and then pitting one groupagainst the other, demanding that income dis-parity be made right by redistributing wealth.
Finally, Harlin goes on to say that
"Americans of all income classes are capital-ists." and "Todays income and wealth dispar-ity is not good for our country and is patentlyunfair. And Fairness in the distribution ofwealth and income is all that the vast majori-ty of Americans want. Not war. Peace."Harlin's definition of peace comes right out ofKarl Marx's manifesto. Quote Karl Marx;"The meaning of "peace" is the absence of
opposition to socialism." Agree? Disagree?You can reach me at [email protected] * bourgeois (boor-zhwah),definition: a person whose political, econom-ic, and social opinions are believed to bedetermined mainly by concern for propertyvalues and conventional respectability, themiddle class.
