The Government, Taxes and the Debt

If Congress and the President allow the tax rates to go up a married couple, filing jointly and making $80,000 a year would receive $221 per pay check less beginning January 2011.

People, be it Legislators or the public, who are against continuing the existing tax rates are spinning the facts, calling the continuation of the so called Bush Tax Cuts (existing tax rates) as new tax cuts, when in fact if Congress extends these rates it will be the tax status quo. If they do not extend these rates, then starting January 2011 Americans (ALL Americans, not just the so-called rich) will be faced with a massive tax hike as we are in a terrible recession with no relief in site.

The latest stats on the unemployment rate is 9.8%. Yet the Obama Administration thinks the solution is to give corporations more money and the extend unemployment benefits rather than to eliminate obstacles from the private sector where the jobs are created. Unbelievable.

There is no revenue problem with what taxes the Government takes in. Let me say that again. There is no revenue problem with what taxes the government takes in. What there is, is a spending problem. The Government simply spends more money than they have and are spending in ways most of us do not agree with.

Most of us would risk our lives to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. That same "most of us" would find it distasteful that people create "works of art" such as a caricature of Jesus on a Cross with ants and cockroaches crawling around on his body. And however distasteful the "art" is, and no matter how large the scumbag creating it, most of us would recognize his right to do so. BUT, no person in their right mind would buy off on having the tax payer fund this idiot's right to express himself.

The Government has to simply be much better on spending money wisely. Even then it it is going to take entitlement cuts to get our National debt under a manageable level. The consequences are too severe not to.

Tea Party Rise in Great Britian?

Watch this video, where finally someone stands up to EU and the concept of one World Government, which was the intent the whole time. Nigel Farage may not be a name familiar name for many Americans, but his message to the European Union this week echoed the familiar anti-spending slogans of America’s tea party movement.

British humor, especially when cutting into Socialists is worth hearing.

Earlier this week, Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party and co-president of Europe of Freedom and Democracy (EFD), spoke out against the EU for allowing member states to get into debt and bailing them out at the expense of the ordinary people of Europe. All this in the name of cohesion, he suggests, marks significant threats to democracy.

Don't Let The Left Be Right

You can see the effort in the liberal controlled news media right now,...making claims about the Tea Party running out of steam and becoming extinct before 2012. Or otherwise the Argument is that the Tea Party was (pick one) 1- Obama Haters, 2- Anti-Tax Freaks or 3-"insert you favorite insult here"....and therefore a short duration phenomenon and will never bother America again.

Each and everyone of us have got to stay not only focused on issues but involved in the political process. Get and stay informed,....communicate with your elected reps whether you voted for them or note,..do this at the local to the Federal level,..for the takes are high. If we don't we'll surely lose this great Country of ours.

"One of the penalties for not participating in politics is that you will be governed by your inferiors." - Plato (427-347 B.C.)

"Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings." - Helen Keller (1880-1968)
