Hello Chris,
Actually this is a plan that is already in place, ready to go and viable under current laws (laws that are set to be changed by Obama's tax goals and AFL CIO rules an allowances IF he were elected).
What you do not undertsand, my friend, (habit picked up from McCain)... Is that the AFL CIO is a huge supporter of both Obama and Obama's huge network of lawyer supporters. If Obama's plans ever become the law of the land and the AFL CIO gains additional power and the power to enforce all workers.... The corporations that employ us will fold. A private party that answers to no one but themselves (the AFL CIO and other unions) are the most dangerous group in the USA.
The unions are not for the workers. The unions are for themselves!
We seriously need the McCain 3R Plan... As The post states.. This is the vague "Abbrviated version", and really should not be public knowledge yet or in this form. ((Yeah.. so shoot me folks))
I am on your side, as we should all be for America and for jobs. Conservative or Liberal, Repuiblican or Democrat.. Libertarians as well... We MUST make this work this year or we are screwed!

Hope to spread more of this 3R Plan at the Values Voters Conference in September!

Emerging Markets Are a Must

Please fill in the following information and we'll email this link.
When U.S. stocks pick up, however, e-markets typically rise further, faster, says analyst Eric Bjorgen of the Leuthold Group in Minneapolis—as indeed happened when prices bumped up in July. Bjorgen, who's "cautiously optimistic" about U.S. stocks, recently raised his e-markets ante as a play on the S&P. Van Agtmael, who doubted last year's China and India hype, is also in the "early stages of feeling bullish."
That's just timing, of course—gaming a bottom. Strategically, these stocks are here to stay. Most advisers suggest a 5 percent investment in diversified e-market mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. To match e-markets' weight in the world, you'd go to 12 percent.
You may own these stocks without realizing it. Morningstar, the financial-research firm, finds 67 U.S. equity funds that are more than 5 percent invested in e-markets. Among some international funds, that figure exceeds 20 percent. Yes, there's always risk, but today I'd say that the bigger risk is not being there.
P.S. If e-markets are good for geezers, where have the crazies gone? To funds invested in "frontier markets": Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Croatia and the Arab Gulf states. Today, these stocks ride the political winds. In the future, they'll be in our children's IRAs.
