	StartFast is coming to town
	Remember the heady days before the dotcom tech bubble broke in 2000? Investors were throwing dollars at any high-tech startup that had a business plan.

	President Barack Obama has toured the country, encouraging his audiences to pressure Congress to pass his jobs bill now.

	Defining the 1 Percent: Class envy is not benign
	We are assaulted daily by the media referring to the "1 Percent." Those supporting the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement designate the 1 percent "super rich" and the remaining 99 percent who aren't. President Obama, promoting what he calls the Buffett Rule, calls the 1 percent millionaires and billionaires, who are shirking their responsibility to pay their "fair share" of taxes. So who actually comprises the 1 percent?

	Let’s tax the job creators
	There’s a joke flying around the Internet. In the last decade, Bob Hope, Johnny Cash, and Steve Jobs have all died. Now America is left with an administration in Washington that has no hope, no cash, and no jobs.

	Closing Ben Franklin’s post office
	In July, the Ben Franklin post office in Philadelphia was notified that it would likely be shut down as the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) attempts to downsize. The post office, which was established in 1775 by the country’s first postmaster, doesn’t fly a flag because it pre-dates the Revolution.
