Protection Or Handouts?

A couple of days ago the Register Guard (that liberal rag I sometimes reference) ran their opinion about a recent incident near Florence, Oregon - in Lane County. The title of their article was When no one responds - a homeowner that had some young guy shooting a gun toward their home and police were unable to send anyone to help her. She wasn't hurt and they eventually found out who it was and arrested the 20 y/o guy.

What are noteworthy are the last several paragraphs and their Liberal mindset I've posted about before - Register Guard sets the stage for some liberal politician and/or tax increase. After putting a bit of scare in the reader their last 3 paragraphs deliver the punch - voters better vote for tax increases or else!

This is the same tactic the RG used with their Liberal Eugene Mayor - Kitty Piercy - and I alerted you to that scam back on August 4. The RG is again, the front line to prep the population for the big tax coming upon voters: Live in fear or pay up!

I've also posted in the past how Liberal governments operate when they are faced with budget cuts. They will always cut law enforcement that impact everyone before cutting their social handout programs - that impact a very tiny percent of the population yet cost taxpayers MILLIONS each year. The Liberal, uneducated, idiots running Lane County are no exception.

In Lane County the total expenditures for the FY 08-09 period for the Department of Health and Human Services alone is $85,422,273! The largest share of this goes to "LaneCare" - only concocted back in 1996 is a public insurance company that contracts with mental health providers to offer a full continuum of services. If you want a hand out simply say you can't think "right" - in English or Spanish of course.

Oh yeah - faced with huge budget cutbacks including law enforcement maybe you should know their social services handout machine bought a building in downtown Eugene for $7.9 MILLION, and just finished renovations (with all union workers of course) costing $9 MILLION - more than the building itself!

So if you want to know the real reason the police isn't around when you need them think of their growing social services department and their new home - all to house their growing social handout machine for the illegal aliens, the illegal alien's children, drug addicts and their families they can't afford to have, scummy people flocking to Lane Country from other areas, and all of the growing staff to support their monolith to socialism - bilingual, of course.

Voters need to vote these Liberals OUT of our lives before it's too late!

Register Guard + Mayor Kitty Piercy = Conspiracy

Instigator 1: Mayor Kitty Piercy and her Progressive entourage are the ruling party in Eugene with Mayor Piercy coming up for reelection.

Instigator 2: The Register Guard is a liberal controlled newspaper with some of the worst distorting writers (I strain to use that term as it might offend good writers) I've even read in a paper.

Situation: Growing homeless population.

Past - A stranger phones in: A few months ago Progressive Kitty was on an AM talk show on our local radio trying to push her downtown "revitalization" scheme which was coming up for a vote (was defeated - too many smart taxpayers here). A male caller asked Kitty-poo about the homeless scum downtown and said, to the point, no revitalization could take place unless the scum was removed from the city. Kitty-poo said her big plan was once mega-millions were spent on new everything so many of the citizens of Eugene would flock downtown to spend their money that it would push the homeless scum out.

Back to Instigator 2: Register Guard, a supporter of Kitty-poo, starts publishing the growing problem of homeless scum vandalism, attacks, using store fronts as toilets, etc. - even devotes a front page on this.

The kicker: As if orchestrated by Kitty-poo (I'm sure it was) and her Progressive entourage, the Register Guard gives the finale - Mayor Kitty Piercy and her Progressive entourage says the increasing homeless scum population is the fault of the 95% good citizens of Eugene so her new solution is to raise property taxes to provide citizen subsidized housing. So the RG sets the stage (shows the threat) then reveals Kitty-poo's grand plan.

Basic logic test: Do you get rid of rats by throwing cheese down for them?

Failure: Mayor Kitty Piercy and her Progressive entourage's reign in Eugene have caused this problem to grow - and grow - and grow. Time for a regime change - a total regime change with people that have a focus on the 95% of the population not the growing scum that just keep coming for Mayor Kitty Piercy and her Progressive entourage's handouts.

Jobs: In the same paper that front-pages the "need" for more taxes to "help" the freeloaders is a classified section with many - lots - of jobs requiring no skills. Yet I see mostly younger people on corners - not working by choice - and the idiot people that keep handing them money! You can't help people that just want everything given to them.

Get clean: Homeless scum often use the public library rest rooms to strip and bath - while little children pass in and out. This scummy element needs to be kept out of the library where families and children on their own go. In N. Calif. the town we lived in had a nice large library and only people with valid library cards could enter - and that's the way it should be.

Better bath: If homeless wish to bath let them do so in the private bathrooms of Mayor Kitty Piercy and her Progressive entourage at City Hall - not where the children of Eugene go.

Simple solutions Kitty-poo will never consider:

• If they are illegally in the country hold them for INS
• If they are minors from out of state then ship them back to their parents on a one-way ticket
• If they are minors instate hold them for their parents and give their parents the bill - take them to court to recover costs for caring for their kids
• If they are capable of skill-less work then hook them up with an employer
• If they solicit for money on the streets arrest them for conducting a business without a business license

Hynix Closure - Smart Business Move

Oregon Democrat politicians were stunned when Hynix announced they are shutting their plant in Eugene, Oregon. Obviously they don't read my blog because if they did they would have known this closure was inevitable.

On the eve of yet another rise in the Federal minimum wage the Hynix closure means the end of employment for 1,113 workers. Let's drop the emotion and just check some facts -

Semiconductors are in huge demand yet this business sector is extremely competitive and every tiny profit percent can mean life or death. Hynix could have upgraded their only US facility but serious considerations had to be made:

Oregon's Democrat government forces their company to pay a minimum wage higher than the national average, and with a Democrat-controlled Congress this government intervention mandating what unskilled employees must be paid causes businesses to suffer and their profit margins to shrink

Oregon is not a business-friendly state nor is the city of Eugene. Continued forced mandates and a growing big government (even at the local level) intrudes into the business activities that should not be controlled and manipulated by business-ignorant Democrat politicians

Oregon Democrats are money hungry careless fools that have no end to their tax-and-spend frenzy. Hynix was paying $4.47 million in taxes each year - and that was just to the city of Eugene - even more to the State of Oregon. In the local liberal paper Eugene's Liberal Democrat Mayer Kitty Piercy said that they plan to raise taxes on Eugene property owners to make up the tax loss from Hynix. Just like a Democrat - don't change your spending habits - just raise taxes on everyone. Even if you rent your landlord will pass this cost on to you!

I predicted various times in my posts that companies would leave the USA because of growing government interference and Hynix isn't the first and it won't be the last. Those that are American companies will eventually sell to foreign companies that will shift operations out of the USA. As Democrats continue to strip the freedom from companies just listen to that sucking sound grow - jobs and wealth sucked out of America.

In a free society, employers should have the right to hire and fire workers and to pay them wages that are mutually agreed upon, and workers should have the right to freely compete for jobs and, thus, to accept employment at mutually beneficial wage rates.

A worker's minimum acceptable hourly wage, of course, will depend on his or her next best alternative employment opportunity and, hence, on the value of his or her productivity in the marketplace.

Behold - the great Democrat Change for America - enjoy it - YOU voted them in!

Slap Those Stupid Parents

The socialists continue their obnoxious drive to replace the desires of parents with those of socialistic government rule. Case in point is Eugene Oregon's George Russell, a black male school district superintendent for Eugene.

I've preached this before - socialists take away choices and freedoms in order to advance their socialist agenda. In the Register Guard today this socialist gives some hints of his big plans to change the public school system in Eugene, and slap the faces of parents at the same time.

The population of Eugene is growing, not shrinking, yet this socialist clown wants to close schools. In doing so, his plan is to shove forced busing onto communities

as ways to achieve greater equality and integration

These tactics don't work, and how he and a handful of liberal socialists can alter entire communities and get away with it amazes me. Public schools must return to control of communities - not liberal activists. The entire concept of forced integration was ruled unconstitutional - but George Russell doesn't care - he has big plans to force his social concepts upon communities.

Russell cites that as the central paradigm:

Is it what's best for students in the district's opinion or what parents think is best?

(The guy doesn't even speak proper English!)

Obviously Mr. Russell thinks he knows best, not parents. Slap slap you stupid parent. Parents need to group together and kick these socialist assholes out of their community and out of our state.

Some of Eugene's socialist schools and their visions:

Socialist Kennedy Middle School:

"Our vision for the Kennedy Community is to provide a safe, respectful and caring environment where individuals are encouraged and empowered to fulfill their potential as engaged and responsible participants in a culturally-diverse and ever-changing world."

- Nothing to do with advancing academic achievement!

Socialist Mexican Cesar Chavez Elementary School:

"To create a diverse student community of academically and socially skilled individuals by encouraging independence, respect and visionary thinking."

- Nothing to do with advancing academic achievement!

Then there's Eugene International High School:

As global citizens at Eugene International High School, we aspire to value diversity, ambiguity, and discovery and to act with responsibility, integrity, and compassion.

- Nothing to do with advancing academic achievement!

You can check for yourself on any of these public schools in the Eugene school district. Once you see any drive for academic achievement has been replaced with socialistic/globalist crap then you will understand why students in Oregon can expect a big future career at Espresso shops or mini-malls or a social services center.

As the children of Oregon are becoming (in the eyes of the socialist school board) good globalites the children in India and Asian countries are passing them in academic skills, especially in math and science, thus rendering stupid products of socialism into lower skilled, lower paying jobs. One reason high-tech jobs are booming in India and not Oregon.

And you still think the liberal/socialist agenda is good for communities? For parents? For students?

Not!

The Sky Is Falling (On Taxpayer's Heads)

It wasn't true, but the power of the media even back in 1938 was overwhelming to the ignorant. War of the Worlds panic spreads:

On Oct. 30, 1938, a radio reporter went on the air with a terrifying broadcast: A meteor had slammed into a farm in Mercer County. Thick, poisonous gas seeped through the air. Martians had descended on the nation, martial law was declared and scores of people were dead.

None of it was true. But hundreds of listeners tuning in to "War of the Worlds" had missed the introduction explaining that the program was fiction. They panicked, sending waves of hysteria and confusion across New Jersey and the country.

Hysteria and panic still plaque the ignorant. Consider just in Oregon the following measures on the ballot, all meant to induce fear among the ignorant:

Measure 50 - (Vote NO) - Deceptively called Health Care for Children gives Oregon Government even more money to do with what they want. It is a lie that it is for children. Item 4b gives the Democratic legislature the right to "Prescribe how the taxes imposed will be administered and enforced". Item 5 in the voter's pamphlet states it is

for low-income adults and other medically underserved Oregonians

"Low-income adults" would include the illegal alien adults of illegal alien children. You and I will pay for their insurance while they won't have to. On top of that you will have the thousands (and more) illegals and transients that will make their way to Oregon to get such a nice "free" handout. Maybe they can sleep and crap in your residential streets and parks.

"Medically underserved" can be a family that can afford health insurance but rather buy high-priced consumer products, TVs, new cars, boats, etc. instead of paying a health insurance premium. You and I will pay for their insurance while they won't have to.

This measure does absolutely nothing to make parents responsible their children. It does not hold them accountable for what I'd call child neglect. If anything, it encourages people to stop their private health insurance and move themselves into the "medically underserved" category. Like why pay for it themselves when taxpayers can? (Taxpayers will end up paying for this - count on it).

Democrats always sock it to the poor, and this is another of their punches. It is mainly the poor, lower class, and stupid that smoke and hitting this group with a 30% increase will simply cause crime to increase. Think of it - being robbed for some cigarettes.

In Eugene, OR you have Measure 20-132 (Vote NO). This is another BIG GOVERNMENT tax that is not needed. A tax on gas, or I should say ANOTHER tax on gas by Eugene. The truth is Eugene has plenty of money to fix roads, but they abuse the money they get - especially by giving grants to entities that sponsor illegal aliens and social issues - donations of tax payer money. The BIG GOVERNMENT of Eugene has no right to abuse tax payer's money.

Again, in Eugene, OR you have Measure 20-134 (Vote NO). Another BIG GOVERNMENT farce, another waste of tax payer's money. The biggest problems with the downtown area they want to "renew" are the transients, the illegal aliens, the bums, the homeless, and the drug addicts. In the 6 years I've lived in the region I've seen at least 4 good businesses close up because of this problem.

I heard Mayor Kitty Piercy on the radio about 6 weeks ago and someone called in and stated the problem as I mentioned it above. The caller asked what the Mayor and City Council planned to do about it, since if the problem remained; no one (at least with money) would go to the "revived" area. She basically admitted she had no plan other than once the "revitalization" took place the throngs of people surging into the "revitalized" area would push out the problem people. That's our stupid Mayor for ya.

Eugene has a government that prefers to take care of the 5% of the population (the problem people) and ignore the 95% of the taxpayers. The ignorance of this BIG GOVERNMENT must not be allowed to waste any more taxpayer money on a worthless project. It is dead before it even starts.

Starting A Business In Oregon

Is your state like Oregon? Whether you are an entrepreneur and are considering starting a new business in Oregon or already have a business and you are considering moving to Oregon you should consider the growing business environment that Democrat Oregon presents to you.

Wages - if you have requirements for unskilled labor Democrats in Oregon have made sure you get to pay one of the highest minimum wages to unskilled workers - currently $7.80/hour. This might be even more at the local level. (There are 5 states that don't oppress businesses and Kansas has a rate lower than the Federal minimum)

People - If you have a business where the quality and morality of your workforce is important you should know that Democrats in Oregon will help make sure your vision is expanded. You might hire a male one day, then the next week your new employee can show up in drag. Even if you require a uniform your new employee might come to work in a wig with lipstick and heavy eye makeup. You will not be able to fire this worker as long as they are doing their job. (If you have some storefront and I saw such a person I'd be headed for the exit fast)

Family leave - Expect to be obligated to provide long term leave should one of your employees become pregnant. You might also be obligated to give extended leave to the father as well. Democrats feel that it is your responsibility to accommodate the choices of individuals even if it adds to your cost of doing business.

Taxes - If you do business in Oregon and you happen to have paid too much taxes rest assure your over payment might not come back to you. The state feels they have the right to keep over payments and call such theft "rainy day funding". However, you had better be sure you correctly refund any excess payments collected from customers.

Location - If you happen to locate in the wrong place and find low-life scum hanging around your location don't expect help from your local Democrat City Council. They will respect the "rights" of the scum over your rights as a business owner. This has been the routine in cities like Eugene and Portland - and business have fled.
