Be happy I don’t take it all…
‘Cuz I’m the Taxman
Yeah, Yeah I’m the taxman
and you’re working for NOONE ELSE BUT ME!

Nahh…

I do not believe we can ever elect a conservative majority to the Senate, when states like North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Nebraska, and Arkansas have one or both Senators from the Democratic party.

the other day but here some did you know stuff about government benefits–think the Stabenow post. Not everyone is aware that this is happening.

1. Yup you can get unemployment benefits on debit cards. Yup debit cards. You get signed and on a weekly basis money is credited to your card. You go to an ATM (even at Casinos) for cash or just charge at any other store just like it was your own credit card.

2. Unemployment benefits-and other government benefits-can also be direct deposited into your own bank account. You take a voided check to the agency and sign up just like you were working.

I cannot tell you how quick money can be set up in these accounts. This is the government so if the bill was signed on Wednesday I am not sure the direct deposit happens on Friday–no clue on that. The days of waiting for a check in the mail or standing in line for a check are over. Its all electronic folks.

They can zap into these account back benefits to 1 million unemployed in minutes or maybe days and yet we can’t find where 11 million undocumented aliens are working at?

On as to Senator Dorgan lets be clear they view US Sam and you are partners. The share the wealth concept to them is that once you get above some sort of living wage then you need to share or spread the wealth around. Your obligation to society kicks in at that point. You punish success but you reward –fill in the blank.

“Certainly cutting taxes reduces the governments’ income in a static calculation, but we also know that revenue into the treasury went up after those tax cuts.”

ERICK ERICKSON: YOUR MONEY? THE GOVERNMENT’S INCOME”

But seriously, I think this is hair splitting. I don’t think saying income instead of revenue or tax yield or whatever is contemptuous of taxpayers.

Since Obama was elected (since November 2008, businesses have read the writing on the wall), my husband’s company has cut down his group to a 3-man skeleton crew.

He has had to handle the jobs of about 5 men.

He works much, much harder, and when he stops for a breath, he hears the muffled words of “keep going, they have to justify headcount” in his ears.

His raises since then have been fractions of a percent.

We’re well-aware of the biggest tax-hike in history coming in January.

And we won’t even touch or adjust our healthcare benefits because we know they’ll lose their grandfather status sooner rather than rather than later.

We like working for a corporation just fine because we don’t want to be a small business owners. They’re good people and my husband’s hard work has always been rewarded.

Not anymore.

President Obama has changed the structure of this country — where even the solid middle class are paying through the nose to cushion the living of others.

We pay Congress’ salaries first — and their posh Brownstones in DC, where the home values are among the highest in the nation — and we pay the bums sitting on couches so they can afford cable and the latest cellphone.

Do I care for these “luxuries”? No.

I want to just want to eat well, send my kids to college off our dime (not the taxpayers), and have a date night every once in a while with my husband so we can keep our marriage intact and de-stress .. so we can, in turn, keep nurturing the kids.

Wealth isn’t bad. Middle class isn’t bad.

It’s Obama’s socialist values that are bad.

With this administration, working hard is officially now only a reward in and of itself. If you believe in a good work ethic, your soul will continue to thrive. If you don’t, you’re supposed to succumb to the easy road and fall under the spell of collectivist thought.

His policies would give cause to families that are “suffering” such as ours to join unions and become collectivists against corporations and other economic leaders who want to “stick it to the little guy.”

Instead of working harder, we’re supposed to be striking and forcing the adoption of more federal regs that are designed to force American trades to succumb to government control.

I say we strike the government : Fire ‘em.

Then force the waters of government intervention to recede by repealing their brand of socialism.

It will take years .. we haven’t a moment to lose. We can and will do it!

Remember November.

It’s about redistribution. Those hacks may pretend to believe what they say, but they know as well as we do that lowering taxes stokes the private-sector economic engine, creates work and opportunities, and raises the total tax revenue. They don’t care about that. They care about ideology, and theirs is warped and twisted. Liberalism truely is a mental desease.

pelosi vows not to extend Bush tax cuts to anyone over 250K a year plus I suspect she has massive spending plans for the rest of 2010.

The wealthiest people and biggest corporations and executives never seem to complain about Democrats’ taxing them. They tend to vote D and support Democrats. In fact, if I recall correctly, this group tripled their election turnout in 2008 and voted 3-to-1 for Obama (having gone with Bush in 2004).

Do Democrats not want to give them tax breaks too? I’m thinking there is some hypocrisy going on here.

The democrats figure that since the Federal money is printed by the Federal government, in Federal buildings, on Federal property, by Federal employes, and since the the politicians are Federal officials, the money is actually theirs to spend, not ours.

…the bigger the wealth re-distribution. Gee, Dorgan, seems to me that the bigger the country’s government and staff, and the more bloated the entitlement programs and Pork Barrel projects are, the more the “country’s income” needs a raise…

You haven’t seen anything yet…someone up above (Veronica?) mentioned the “…coming tax hikes in January…” While potentially correct (what with Bush tax-cuts being eliminated), the REAL tax hikes will come TWO months BEFORE that, starting in late November, 2010…this coming “lame duck” Congress is positioning itself (see the new submitted bills before Congress) for new taxes on just about ALL financial transactions–worse than ever before…you won’t be able to sneeze nor move without paying a tax (er, excuse me, a “fee”).

Oh yeah, especially if your BMI is high come 2014…mandated by the White House, by the new Health Czar (excuse me, WH kitchen chef). You will be “fined” if your BMI is too high. (Can you say “fat police”?)

There goes Christmas….right into the pockets of the “country’s income” overseers. Sell everything you have/Buy everything you need/Get thinner–over next few months.

Great posts, discussions and threads on here and here.

or enter “Road to Serfdom” or “andyd” into the search box.

In another frontpage post Moe tells us how “Tea Parties have already passed online activists and bloggers in its ability to direct public discourse, mostly because it has also already demonstrated its superior ability to get people out in the streets, protesting. ”

And this all came about because of knowledge and exposing the lies of the left and their use and abuse and perception of the American public.

Which is why this post is valuable. It’s something everyone can understand.

The government has increased income, where I almost have none beyond what I use to meet my basic needs.

Where is my pursuit of the American dream? Why is the government taking it from me?

As people “in the know,” we just can’t keep speaking to the choir and need to keep telling our friends what’s up.

It helps by becoming scholars and reading up on a little history, and learning more and more and telling the truth in a simple way like Erick did with his “income” argument.

I suggest begin by picking up Liberal Fascism by Goldberg and Road to Serfdom by Hayek.

This is what the left is against — knowledge and understanding their history and gameplan.

And they’re the ones who chide the rightwing for “conservative censorship” — puh!!
