on the reality that energy costs will essentially be a tax for everyone, and that the protests are also about how money is spent. That actually points out why the ‘it’s not fair argument’ is just not the best tact to take, there are much stronger arguments for fiscal conservatives.

….the inevitability of tax increases to pay for the massive govt spending and even the fact (which Armey did say) that borrowing money and printing money especially has an effect that can be even worse than tax hikes

amen

which it will, I’m afraid. Also, to me, anything the government does that causes us to pay more is a tax, of sorts, whether it directly or indirectly goes to the government. For example, the higher prices we’ll have to pay for goods and services as a result of higher taxes providers of those goods and services will have to pay. Also, having to buy the more expensive CFL bulbs as opposed to tungsten bulbs, to me, is a tax, because of the government mandate (has that passed, btw? A friend said he went to Home Depot to get some vanity mirror bulbs just last week and a HD associate told him tungsten bulbs would not be available after next year. Probably hidden in the unread porkulus bill).

I’ve said it before, there is NO middle class tax cut!

MUST go up to pay the interest on the debt that has been created in the past year! ANYONE with their thinking cap on is quite aware of the kabuki theatre that is being played upon the American people!

and other conservatives confronting this lib meme about Obama’s promise to cut taxes for 95% of Americans and or those earning under $250K, to respond with a more specific refutation of this lie than just the inpending auto repeal of the Bush tax cuts; the inevitability of tax increases to pay for the massive govt spending and even the fact (which Armey did say) that borrowing money and printing money especially has an effect that can be even worse than tax hikes

and that is

that Obama does propose a massive tax increase on all Americans, and one that is especially onerous to the poor and lower and middle income families, and that is

the carbon tax that will raise gasoline and power/heating bills and could bankrupt the coal industry.

If they can’t get it thru Congress they will impose it via EPA regs that define what we breathe out to be “pollution.”

IT WASN’T about taxes per se it was about Washington and the way those taxes are being SPENT….WE don’t TRUST the government to do the RIGHT thing….WE don’t want the government like a bedbug engorged on our sweat and blood! WE want the government to STOP the big social programs there is NO NEED to give money to Planned Parenthood for example that business made 1 Billion dollars last year….there is NO REASON to fund ACORN, there is NO REASON to give money to AIG, GM, Chrysler etc…..let them FAIL that is how business works when you live in a Republic!

Nothing and Nobody are too big to fail!
