Demanded By Government

Dictionary.reference.com gives the following definition of a tax:

a sum of money demanded by a government for its support or for specific facilities or services, levied upon incomes, property, sales, etc.

Were you one of the suckers that believed the lies of liberals and their claim that conservatives protect the rich from taxes? Not only is that lie but the truth is liberals put such outrageous demands on the mid and low income workers that many are finding it more difficult to meet their families needs.

The other day I get a notice from our trash company. The county government (liberal, of course) is increasing their fees. Now this is the same Lane County government that tried to invoke a county income tax but failed - thanks to some sharp people that got it on the ballot and subsequently was voted down. So what's the liberal government to do? RAISE FEES, of course!

The increase won't bother me but what about lower income families that are barely getting by? Liberals give them the shaft. Liberals use to be called the "tax and spend" political group. Yesterday's post - liberals - using taxpayers money to "bail out" people that bought more than they could afford.

Thanks to a liberal controlled congress students will soon loose the ability to deduct their student loan interest if they make over a certain amount each year. Again, liberals socking it to the mid and low income people (hint: rich folks don't need student loans).

We recently had the local liberal government of Eugene try and raise the cost of gas with another one of their taxes. The liberal government didn't care about taxing the mid and low income people, but a group of gas station owners did care - and they stopped those evil money-hungry liberals - for now.

Then you have these liberal candidates promising to really screw the mid and low income worker with threats to place big taxes on oil companies. Ah - sort of brings back those good ole days when liberal Democrat (worse) President Jimmy Carter stuck his Crude Oil Windfall Profits Tax - then tada - gas lines, rationing, etc. - none of which did anything with the rich, but really wrecked havoc on the little people. (Carter also bolstered the Social Security system by introducing a staggered increase in the payroll tax.)

Let's look at a liberal state - Vermont. I went to the page for their governor and no surprise - this fool is bragging about all the tax payer money he's giving away. Grants, $9.4 Million for wasted drug prevention programs, various tax credits, and it goes on and on about his generosity - with other people's money. I guess that's why Vermont is #1 in the list of state and local tax burdens - 14%. When you add it the ugly federal tax burden they top the list at 35.1%.

Check where your state is at in the list here. Oh, and if you're not near the top don't worry - if you continue to elect liberals you will be!

The equation remains the same:

Liberals = BIG GOVERNMENT
BIG GOVERNMENT = BIG TAXES + FEES

Conservatives = smaller government
Smaller government = lower taxes, lower fees

Illegal Aliens Is A Family Issue

More than 165 illegal alien workers, hired by Del Monte - a well know employer of illegals - were rounded up in Portland yesterday.

Portland is governed by a leftist guerrilla by the name of Tom Potter. This mayor endorses burning American flags, shitting on American flags, businesses banning men and women in uniform from entry, and protects criminal aliens as well as giving the illegals resources robbed from hard working taxpayers.

• Fact: Del Monte will have no problem filling those 165+ jobs previously done by illegals - filling them with legal workers. So much for the lie that illegals do jobs legal workers won't do.
• Fact: Illegal sympathizers like President Bush are playing the guilt card - that immigration laws hurt families. What these illegal supporters don't tell you are the families that are being hurt:
• The legal families that can't find a job because some illegal has taken it.
• The legal families that have to pinch pennies because the mounting taxes, fees, and other government money-sucking schemes that go to pay for illegal's "social needs" are placing heavy burdens upon them.
• The legal families that are forced to send their children to government schools along with children of illegals - and are faced with crime, assault, and other pressures from these criminal kids.
• The legal families that can't feed their children because some illegals got to the food bank before them.
• The legal families that can't get proper healthcare because the illegals are swamping the healthcare system - usually showing up in emergency rooms and never paying for anything.
  

Yes, illegal aliens are a family issue. Each day that goes by more of these scumbags infiltrate our society. We have a president the is pushing hard to force Americans to "accept" these criminals. We have anti-Americans like that socialist joker Mayor Potter that has no problems giving away the precious resources of hard working legal taxpayers - to illegals.

AND - why isn't the IRS investigating the records of the companies that have employed these illegals? I'm sure tax fraud, unreported payroll taxes, and unreported income to employees is involved. Sort of seems like these raids are more of a token thing than enforcement, huh?

Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff? This joker should be fired for being a total incompetent.

Fighting The Financial Terrorists

The well-fed sleepy face above is that of Faye Steward, one of the three Lane County Commissioners that tried to terrorize residents with a new income tax. Faye is an education flunky - he did complete high school, spent 1 term at Lane Community College and left - he couldn't handle it. He then thought he'd try a major in Business Management at Oregon State University - but it was too difficult for him to grasp and dropped out. No degree, no diploma, and no certificate in anything. No wonder this idiot can't balance a budget.

Yesterday voters stood up to the financial terrorists and voted by the largest margin against a county tax in Lane County. This was the 13th time the financial terrorists have tried - and failed - to coerce money from hard working people in Lane County.

Financial terrorist: A local or federal government that increases taxes or fees - another name for a tax - for the purpose of growing social services or activities that government has no business being involved in. In most all cases mismanagement of current funds are involved, and growingly - support of the illegal alien population.

These terrorists will stop at nothing to obtain more money from taxpayers - threats of reduced police protection, letting prisoners free, closing jails, "children will suffer", "elderly will suffer", etc.

Other Oregon financial terrorists have tried and failed yesterday, thanks to the will of the people sending their message loud and clear - dump the handout and social programs, dump the support of illegals, and stop your involvement in sectors that government has no business in.

Cuts? Expect Lane County to cut jobs that will punish the voters. Expect the social handout programs to stay, expect overpaid bureaucrats to stay and lower lever workers (the real workers) to be terminated. Expect handouts to illegals to remain (like English as a second language classes at LCC) while some police are let go.

Change for the better will not happen until we recall the idiots and replace them with business-minded and educated leaders.
