Black Entertainment Television founder Robert Johnson bashed Barack Obama yesterday on Fox News. The highly successful entrepreneur said “The president needs to change his message. You don’t get people to like you by attacking them or demeaning their success.”
This is of course a response to Obama's class warfare trying to take the exposure off his failures to get the economy moving and instead place it on his rhetoric that wealthier Americans need to pay more of their fair share on taxes. And you know what? No liberal to date has answered the questions, "what is a fair share?" We all know that richer Americans not ony pay a higher percentage of taxes, but much more taxes in amounts too. Not to mention the fact that is not the welfare family that is creating jobs,....it is the investors who have money to invest and expand. If,...and a big if this is,....government over regulation could be deregulated and a consistent fair tax could be counted on.
Robert Johnson, continued in his interview with words to the effect that "....Obama wants me to take a bigger hit (on taxes) because I am wealthy. I did not go into business to create a policy success for either party, .......I went into business to create jobs, to create opportunity, to create value for myself and my investors. In regards to Warren Buffet's statement that he is paying less taxes than his secretary,......he should pay his secretary more.
Watch the short interview with Chris Wallace below.
Cowboys and the Tea Party political movement have a lot on common. Both believe in individual responsibility; judging a man by his actions not words; and, both are disgusted with government intrusions into our lives and particularly our God given rights.

Right to Work Update
Last week, the U.S. House Workforce Committee held a hearing on the Obama Labor Board's recent onslaught of Big Labor power grabs that undermine worker freedom. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Chairman and former union lawyer Mark Pearce offered his spin after the hearing, calling the Board's decisions "fair and even-handed." Cowboy's Comment:Geez, that's like putting the fox in the hen house with a pro-Union Lawyer at the NLRB.......Here's a question: "What do you call ten Union Lawyers at the bottom of a Lake?"......"...a good start is what it is."
The Socialist Union won out against Boeing. The Union complaint was that if Boeing was allowed to move a plant to South Carolina, where there is a right to work, it would a civil rights violation against the Unionized Boeing workers currently in Washington State. Cowboy's Comment:Requiring any worker to pay union dues as a condition of employment is totally Un-American and a major reason this country is in the dire straits we find ourselves in.
But at least one individual employee, victimized by one recent NLRB decision, stood up and made her voice heard.
On July 22, Barbara Ivey learned the radical Service Employees International Union (SEIU) was launching a campaign to unionize her workplace.
Thirteen days later, her employer, Kaiser Permanente, announced that it was recognizing the union as the monopoly bargaining agent of all workers in the unit.
There was no secret ballot vote. No one from the SEIU ever contacted Ms Ivey about whether or not she wanted to join or support the union.
Other workers told Ivey they felt pressured to sign so-called "union authorization cards."
But Kaiser Permanente agreed to recognize the union through the abusive card check process, and the workers faced an uphill battle to exercise their rights.
Relying on the National Right to Work Foundation-won Dana precedent, Ivey utilized the only means left at her disposal. She asked her coworkers to sign a petition demanding a secret ballot vote.
By August 8, Ivey turned in a petition supported by 45 percent of her coworkers to request a decertification election. The NLRB set a private vote for September 20.
But before that vote could occur, the Board overturned Dana, canceling the election.
Barbara Ivey and her coworkers must now wait one to four years to request a new decertification election.
Ivey told the U.S. House panel, "For me and my fellow employees however, snatching away those rights just as an election has been agreed to and a date had been set was cruel and unethical."

I'm sure you'll agree there's nothing "fair and even-handed" about her story.
