America, the land of the brave home of the free is slowly losing our jobs to to other countries due to their lower tax rates. Since January three major companies have moved to Ireland with its 12.5 percent tax rate. Showing a higher increase in companies leaving America as on average we lose 4 companies in the whole year. The root of this problem comes to our broken tax code as it has brought our tax rate to 30 percent. This is much higher than many other countries which causes us to lose all these companies.

This affects us on a national scale as without these jobs more people will have to go under unemployment. As more people suffer unemployment it places a greater a strain on the country as the working class must soon try to supply the unemployed. Healthcare will rise higher and higher as less people have money for their own health care. All these possibilities have came into play and will continue to rise as more companies leave the United States. We must lower our tax rate or we will never be able to compete with outside companies.

On the local scale this still affects us as jobs are limited. As our economy gets worse gas prices go up which then costs more for merchandise while our jobs payment slowly go down. This is why more and more people are under the support of food banks and government assistance. This also goes to the point of why their are some who are completely under the care of the government. If we were to bring back these companies though we would be bringing two trillion dollars back into the United States and all its cities.

My opinion of this is that we should do away with these taxes and places a flat tax upon all items coming in our ports and being sold locally.

Opinion: How pets save us billions every year in health care costs (no wonder tails are wagging)

It is has in many studies been realized that pets improve health and wellness of a family. However, it has been recently found that pets reduce stress, improve mood, and can even assist in the treatment of cancer. Contact with wide ranges of animals can improve the world, in a study it was found that the group of people with pets saved 11.4 billion per year over those without.

Due to the help of mans best friends and many others creatures over twelve billion dollars per year is saved for the nations pet owners in total. Pets have been found to improve mood, assists in recovery from post traumatic stress disorder, and even help with the treatment of cancer. In addition, 11.4 billion dollars is saved by pet owners every year due to the reduce in doctors visits among pet owners. Furthermore, one-fifth of pet owners walk their dog five or more times per week. This can save health care cost 419 million dollars per year due to the increase of healthy activity.

On a national impact the saving of 419 million dollars is remarkable indeed and surely shows what a pet can do. To think on this in a higher perspective the country of America saves close to billion dollars per year thanks to animal companions. They lower blood pressure, assist cancer patients, and even help with a problem wide spread among veterans, PTSD. Personally I believe this is one of their greatest works as this is usually only contained through physiological sessions and hard work. Animals have a great affect on our nations, so it’s a petty more do not become pet owners and embrace a stress free life.

Locally pets are a great help to as they keep multiple stores open for business improving the economy. They also assist in keeping moods from being grim with their loving touch. Furthermore they have saved pet owners in total 11.4 billion dollars in Doctor appointments. Creatures from dogs to cats to even horse and goats all assist with all the things I have listed. There is a reason one pet is called mans best friend.

Personally, I believe that pets are very helpful in daily life as they something that can comfort us and listen as the troubles flow out in streams.

Lawsuit: Public school forced my child to convert to Islam

Where has our freedom of religion gone? As you read students are being forced to forsake their religion for Islam and ridicule the their old religion, or the teacher is planning more such actions. Now some might say, “Oh this must not be in America it must be somewhere else”, but it’s not. This is happening in the home of brave and land of the free, and we are just ignoring it.

By: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/01/29/lawsuit-public-school-forced-my-child-to-convert-to-islam.html

A public school in Maryland is forcing their students to practice Islam against their will. Teaching their students such things as,”There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.” Furthermore, they forced their students to abandon and ridicule their religion. When Mr.Wood, father of one of the students, confronted the school about what they were doing was banned from ever coming on school property. This pushed the Wood family to filing a law suit on the school for this force teaching of Islam beliefs.

This can effects the world as if Islam is allowed to be forced upon students in America, home of the brave land of the free, then why not other places. As I have stated in many of my other articles a allowance of such a foothold will encourage other such things. What shall the world see next, an Isis school in France and terrorists planning in Israel? This must be stopped or such things will begin to spread and that is good for none , but the terrorists.

On a local stance in Texas it may not seem like this could have that big of a effect, but imagine if this began to spread. Before long we may have a public school in Louisiana or Oklahoma with such a school. While Maryland may seem far away, these other states are knocking on our front doors. This is why we as a community must also fight this problem as we do not want such things in our great state. Also, if this problem is not dealt with then could more Isis like group erupt inside our country?

I personally believe that we must stop this as we are a free nation with the right for all religions to be practiced, not for one to be stuffed down our throats. If we lose our freedoms then what is different about America compared to other countries.
