Time for new leadership

MINNEAPOLIS There’s a windmill on a hill not far from the dairy farm where I grew up. My great-great-grandpa Louis Seppman built it stone by stone. By himself Grandpa Seppman dragged lumber from the woods and fashioned the walls by hand walls two feet thick and 32 feet tall. It threshed 150 bushels of wheat per day. Farmers across Blue Earth County pulled their crops by ox teams to Grandpa Seppman’s mill. Continue Reading

Aw, nice warm and fuzzy story but……would grandpa Seppman agree with the dem platform of higher taxes? Abortion? Welfare for everyone? Amnesty for illegals? On and on and on. DFL doesn’t mean what it once did.

That’s interesting about the Seppmann mill. I’ve been to the site a few times. That said I love how DFLers are always bragging how much “Federal” money they are getting for their projects. Do they ever consider that “Federal” money is “Our” money? No wonder this country is running in the red.

If that farm were kicking out 750k a year in business employing 5 people with after tax/expense profits of 100k for the owner of the farm would they be considered rich Margaret? Under DFL leadership they would be. Pat E said it well. Would grandpa be proud of how the DFL is trying to turn this into a second tier nation. Shame shame shame if work your tail off and make good $$$$. Your president said it best Margaret going back to Joe the Plumber. Spread the wealth baby. Rich vs. poor is the drumbeat of the DFL. The great thing about this nation used to be freedom. What incentive is there to start a business or make money when between state and federal taxes you are lucky to keep 40% of what you make. Barry wants the top teir to go back to 39.6% fed taxes. That does not include medicare/ss/state taxes. Do the math. The incentive is being taken away to work hard. They “the hard lefts” agenda is to get as many people on their payroll as they can. Be it welfare or working for the government or being in the blessed unions. The private sector can not continue to pay the tab for these people.
