2008 - A Year Of Stupidity - 16 Days Left

Yesterday's Parade Magazine, article title Who Gets U.S. Foreign Aid, summarizes the top 10 nations the US politicians are pumping our hard earned money into. These figures are just for 2008!

• Israel - $2.5 BILLION - Increases over the next 10 years to at least $3 BILLION / year
• Egypt - $1.7 BILLION - yeah, like America is not giving them enough money for oil - a total waste of American's money down the toilet and nothing to show for it
• Pakistan - $798 MILLION - these people are playing America for fools, and STUPID Liberals keep pouring our money into this Muslim nation that hates everything about the USA - except our $$$
  
• Jordan - $688 MILLION - WTF? Can someone please tell me what we get for this?
• Kenya - $586 MILLION - and most of this, $501 MILLION, is "to fight HIV/AIDS". WTF! What a total waste of the hard working American's taxes - and absolutely nothing to show for this - NOTHING! Everyone with HIV/AIDS should be quarantined, those with the virus contained to stop the spread. Instead, the liberals want to pretend these infected zombies are worthy of our $$$ and sympathy - money down the toilet - STUPID
• South Africa - $574 MILLION - most to "fight" TB and HIV/AIDS. Same applies here as for Kenya - STOP THE INSANITY
• Mexico - $551 MILLION - WTF? Mexico should be paying tribute to the USA for absorbing all their scum that flows illegally across our boarder. Millions are allocated against terrorism and to fight WMDs - WTF! Mexico is a primary pipeline for terrorists, WMDs, drugs, and scum into the USA - and the politicians in America is giving them over half BILLION bucks each year? STUPID!
  

I can't go on - too much STUPIDITY from the liberal elements of D.C. - while the US economy is going down the toilet Liberals in their anti-American pro-global agenda continue to rape our country.

It will get far worse with Mr. Africa in the White House - heck, Barack Obamao is already planning to pump at least $2 BILLION into government controlled schools in other countries!

You know their lines, lies, and motivation-by-guilt -- so better open your mind to handing over your hard-earned $ for the special interests of compassionate Liberals.

Good For Who?

The words of Senator BO have spread like wildfire. Nothing new to me - I've been warning my readers of this all along, but now out of BO's lips:

When you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody.

That was the worry of a Toledo plumber - wanting to start up his own business and asking Senator BO a question about his taxation burden upon even the smallest of businesses.

Small business is not the only employers worried - big business is worried too. In the Sept/Oct issue of Chief Executive the industry leaders - those that create jobs - express their views on who would be dangerous for business growth and job creation.

80% support John McCain. 69% downright fear Barack Obama. In a detailed survey of job creating CEOs the Chief Executive magazine surveyed many factors including the impact of taxes, regulation, education, trade restrictions, and sales growth - the policies of both candidates - and even graded both on various other factors.

Barack Obama has activists, lawyers, and academians as his advisors, and this reflects who his appointments would be as well.

John McCain has business executives, financial executives, and military staff, as his advisors and this reflect who his appointments would be as well.

You can believe the lying liberal lips of Barack Obama or you can believe the very people that create jobs.

BTW - Obama's promised tax cuts won't mean much if you're unemployed!

The Future of Liberalism

Canada's election yesterday might give a peek into the future of the socialist-liberal control in government. Tired of huge tax increases (like Barack Obama promises), tired of a failed "free" medical system (that Barack Obama promises), tired of the increasing power of unions (that Barack Obama has promised union bosses), and tired of freedoms being taken away (as Barack Obama's government will) - Canadians have voted to not only keep their Conservative PM Stephen Harper in office, but increase the representation of Conservatives by at least 143.

... the Liberal popular support sinking to a level not seen since 1867

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
