Democrats Maintain Death Tax
MEDIA SIMPLY PROMOTES NANNY-STATE ACTIVISM THIS LEADS TO PRACTICING WILLFUL MISUNDERSTANDING AND A LARGELY MISLED AND UNINFORMED PUBLIC Rather than spend time on the infinite number of polls, surveys and data that prove overwhelmingly the sweeping bias of the Mainstream Media, better to examine, a partial list of those major newspapers, thoroughly dedicated to the Nanny-State, which have folded, or are in deep trouble. The New York Times is possibly headed for Bankruptcy. It recently had to sell its headquarters and also was forced to borrow $230 million dollars from a Mexican businessman and had to pay a staggeringly high interest rate of 14%. In 2002, the Times' stock traded at over $52 a share. As of mid-March, 2009, its stock had dropped to $3.55 a share. In late February The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Philadelphia Daily News filed for bankruptcy. After 146 years of publishing, the paper printed its last issue on March 17, 2009 The Seattle Post-Intelligencer was in business for twenty years before Washington became a state. The Rocky Mountain News shut down on February 27, 2009. The Tucson Citizen will close on March 22 of 2009, after 138 years in business. In Minnesota, the The Star Tribune, that city's leading daily, filed for bankruptcy in January. The San Francisco Chronicle one of the most horrendous, among the many horrendously Leftist newspapers, is teetering on the brink. Now Speaker of the House wants the government to bail out this disaster. Chances of survival are bleak. Others that are rumored to be more than precarious, include the Seattle Times Company. The MediaNews Group owns The Denver Post, The San Jose Mercury News and The Detroit News. All three could soon face bankruptcy Up For Sale, many newspapers, practically all of which, lean heavily to the Left. Among them The Miami Herald and The Chicago Sun-Times. There are no known buyers for these publications. The public is well aware of the lost objectivity of the Mainstream Media. Also polls and surveys, including those from the most liberally owned polling establishments have shown for over 25 years the one-sided reporting of the Mainstream Media. Even a good number of the newspapers mentioned above have done polls and surveys, clearly documenting that Liberal bias. Some examples: For President 1964 R's 6% D's 94% 1968 14 D's 86% 1972 81 D's 19% 1976 81 D's 19% One liberal poll in this category that really stands out, was that done by the SHORENSTEIN CENTER of the John F. Kennedy School of Government. The SHORENSTEIN CENTER is located at Harvard U., which would probably be in the top three liberal institutions in the world. The Shorenstein study, solidly backed up, what every objective person knows, about Liberal bias Investor's Business Daily Graph and article-Shorenstein Center Study Free Republic The Bulletin 11/07/2007 Herb Denenberg Free Republic Much Additional Data From The Shorenstein Study-- Herb Denenberg Free Republic From Andrew Roth of Club For Growth Andrew Roth Can You Believe What Warren Buffet Is Saying About The Death Tax For years, Warren Buffett has been urging Congress to keep the federal estate tax. Now, he’s suggesting how the government should use the money: a $1,000 annual tax credit for the 23 million U.S. households with incomes under $20,000. The billionaire investing guru told the Senate Finance Committee that many of those families face a marginal payroll tax rate of 15.3%, higher than the current top rate on capital gains, dividends and carried interest for assets held long term. In contrast, repealing the estate tax would help families of the richest Americans who have seen their wealth take off like a “rocket ship” in the last two decades. Buffett noted that of 2.4 million Americans who died last year, only about 12,000 paid estate tax, assessed on an individual’s net worth at death. “You’d have to attend 200 funerals to be at one” where an estate tax was owed, Buffett said. Back in the spring, Buffett narrowed his presidential picks to Democratic Sens. Hillary Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois. But no word today which one he might endorse. ### Senate Democrats did what Democrats do best, they voted to keep the Death Tax. The vote fell three votes shy of the 60 needed to overcome a Democratic filbuster. Four Democrats joined the fifty-three Republicans voting to end the tax, while two Republicans joined thirty nine Democrats who voted to keep it. Currently, $2 million is exempted from estate taxes for an individual, $4 million is exempted for a couple, with a tax rate high of 47%. In 2001, a temporary phase-out was enacted. If Democrats continue to fight repeal, that bill expires in 2011 and the top rate would go back up to 55%. Several Democrats seem amenable to a compromise that would be a substantial improvement on what now exists, although there seems little chance for repeal. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has vowed that the bill will come up again, later this year. Because this vote was so close, contacting your senator could have a big impact. As of Friday August 18th, there has been no further action on this bill. Death Tax Death Tax To Declining Democrats #### #### #### I have constructed a plan (a carefully constructed guide) for getting 25-35 year old men and/or women elected to congress. We must return to putting America's interests first. This is far more essential than advancing either party's interest, or of having an IVY League education or an elitist mentality. ENTRENCHED POWERS BOTH PARTIES SPENDING MORE and MORE Getting reelected has become the priority of most members of congress today. Chairmanships, from too many years in congress, (seniority) result in, most congressmen/women voting: 1. For what will get them reelected 2. What the party leader insists they must vote for or be deprived of pork to send back to their district 3. Obtaining power & wealth, increasing power & wealth, maintaining power & wealth. Voting records from the three best known taxpayer watch dog groups show that only about 6-10 in the Senate (my estimate) and 30-40 in the House, clearly put the needs of America above their reelection. All three watchdog groups assign a score to every pork bill /earmark voted on by every House and Senate member, then apply an exact percentage to those who vote for and against these measures. Far too many members, not only score poorly, many finish with zeroes, meaning in most years they vote for at least 50 out of 50 pork bills. Although this tilts heavily toward Democrats, a few Republicans receive zeroes also. 2. ADHERING TO THE THE CONSTITUTION 3. RETURNING TO HOME RULE AND LOCAL CONTROL-BY KEEPING TAX COLLECTIONS TO AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM AND ENFORCING AIRTIGHT CONTROL # # # # # MARCH 25TH REDUCE FEDERAL SPENDING TO 17% OF GDP BY 2021 PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS RAISED IT FROM A HEFTY 23% TO AN OUTRAGEOUS AND UNBELIEVABLE 29% IN JUST DAYS Increasing federal spending, above GDP growth allows congress to spend your yearly increase which you worked and produced for. Your wages may rise but they've stolen your purchasing power. Because of tax cuts, under President Bush clear wages per capita rose $3800 before Democrats gave us the housing meltdown. MARCH 25TH Add American common sense, a solid high school education, and a background of personal responsibility, mostly, showing up for work, every day, for several years and making mature, responsible decisions. This will tell us most of what we need to know in seeking young, promising candidates. ######### This background would likely lead to finding candidates for which the congressional salary would be a serious financial improvement but not a stepping stone, used to become rich. Hard work on our part will help us find many younger candidates who fit the bill. Soon, I will be attempting to have this plan heard by putting it on YOUTUBE, contacting radio hosts, congresspersons with records of fiscal discipline, Taxpayer Watchdog Groups and others who desire to return government to the vision of the Founding Fathers. I now volunteer to act in any capacity to move this plan along. A number of those candidates we will search for, would likely be single or newly married, not yet carrying the expense of a typical family could easily pledge to set and carry out the examples suggested in the plan; examples you will soon read. We should ask every conservative candidate to show his good faith as a candidate by making some reasonable, even if difficult, example of frugality. Those examples would: 1. Catch voters' immediate attention by accepting a reduced salary and limiting staff expenses and huge number and dollar amount of percs--voluntarily 2. Offer voters examples of sacrifices he/she will make on their behalf; examples showing a drastic move (away from) pork, the seniority system and the enormous damage of entrenched powers. 3. Reward voters' daily struggle using The Constitution by protecting those voters from the abuse of government and excessive taxation. Americans are and always have been totally fair about necessary taxation. We are now clearly discussing excessive/abusive taxation. Our candidates would not hold themselves out as heroes, who promise to give to some, money taxed from some other taxpayers. Our candidate would stress, that he/she, their representative, recognizes they--the taxpayer--as the real hero, a respected and listened to citizen, who deserves to pay, no more than his fair share. The candidate's major objective will be to limit that taxpayer's share of taxes to not one penny more than his fair share and especially protect him, from having his hard daily labor redistributed to others, of far less diligence and responsibility.
I hope young people of action, who care about the future of America will take a serious look at the plan. Never in America's history, have these words deserved as much attention. As of this date-March 22, 2009, President Obama is showing no signs of restraining spending. If he cares about it at all it is not apparent to this voter, and I believe millions of others. His decisions also are expanding the power of government, it seems, in the opposite direction, of what the Constitution calls for. HIS DECISIONS WANT TO TURN US SOCIALIST AFTER 200 PLUS YEARS OF SUCCESS THE WORLD HAS NEVER EVEN IMAGINED, BEFORE OUR SUCCESS Tea Parties are planned all over America. Large numbers are turning out, to protest the spending madness taking place. The plan/platform has 14 general steps to follow in order to gain a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, where all money bills/spending, originates by law. Please read the following information-9-12 minutes of highly critical information, before getting to the platform, which points out the reality (of what actually is going on now,) compared to the rhetoric being sold so skillfully, by the partner of the Democrat Party--the Mainstream Media. This welfare monstrosity, passed on Feb. 17th, includes giving $800 to couples who pay no federal taxes of any kind, many of whom already are receiving a $4824 handout just for having a job the same as the other, 100 million plus workers who have a job, but do not get this handout. These recipients still qualify for all direct welfare payments, cash, food stamps, housing allowances, energy assistance,etc. Besides the tens of thousands of dollars that many of these recipients are presently receiving, millions in the group are having their future social security payment paid by taxpayers, having their future use of Medicare paid by other taxpayers, paying not one penny toward the nation's expenses, and now receiving another $800. All this, for not contributing 1 penny they have earned themselves to the national budget. Why? The misnamed Earned Income Tax Credit, wipes out all taxes temporarily paid, then gives a huge cash payment after that to all maximum recipients and millions of others above and below the maximum qualifying categories. Now President Obama has decided to add another $800 to the coffers of these non-taxpayers, simply taking from those who are already paying taxes through the nose. He also wants to expand the basic payment now at $4824, which already goes up automatically. High School students, working part time, new entrants to the workforce, low income workers working 2 jobs and everyone else are paying through the nose to turn over their hard work, to those who have just the right numbers to be on the receiving end. Millions of these are high-school dropouts and/or unwed mothers and millions have been receiving this welfare for years and many work to maintain every year, incomes and circumstances which will continue the maximum handout. This 14 Step Plan Cannot Be Prevented, Ruled Unconstitutional, Overturned or Thwarted By, nor does it depend on, in any way, Entrenched Powers, whether they be 30 and 40 year--committee chairmen--Republicans or Democrats. It cannot be stopped by liberal, activist judges, who effectively make or change laws, rather than interpret the constitutionality of those laws. BARACK OBAMA ORGANIZED THE DEMOCRATIC GRASSROOTS LIKE NEVER BEFORE----CONSERVATIVES MUST NOW MATCH OR SURPASS THAT EFFORT This plan has a VERY, VERY specific overarching goal, highly desirable to every conservative in America. A majority of voters believe in the ideals of this plan. Most in solid majorities, many in overwhelming majorities. 1. The goal can and should be stated specifically, repeatedly, loudly and clearly, even hammered home on a constant basis. The individual aspects of the plan—lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, a strong military, family values, immigration enforcement, pro-life, pro-family, pro-marriage, etc., fully support the overarching goal. 2. This plan has a slogan-one which derides today’s corruption, using simple common-sense language and thinking, a slogan which can be effectively elaborated upon, to highlight differences favorable to a strong majority. 3. Not only does this plan have great conservative appeal, but it would put nanny-state advocates who disagree with it, seriously off balance. In fact, it would expose like never before the big spending platform of (practically all Democrats) highlighting further their goal of unchecked government spending, and unchecked government growth and power, resulting in unsustainable long term debt. It would also show that Democrats favor goals that financially (using the words of the Comptroller General of the U.S. in a 2007 speech) “endanger our national security.” (1) When Campaigning, Dozens of Democrats Frequently Cover Up The Very Different Platform They Support, Once Elected. Voters are often unaware of ultimate Democratic Party Action. What many Democrats do, once elected, compared to what they led supporters to believe they would do, are often quite different. This is especially true regarding votes on taxes, welfare, pork projects, earmarks and religious freedom, in the U.S. House of Representatives. Each of the 435 House members, may have and do have 18 staff members, who have and use every media and dollar advantage, one could hope for. They promote the agenda of their boss, with these resources especially to highlight the favors, jobs and pork he/she can send back, which proves it never should have left in the first place. They rarely reveal votes often quite unfavorable to middle America, especially to those who believe in traditional values of limited government, a strong defense, religious freedom and personal responsibility. In the case of religious freedom, the protections offered by the Constitution have often been removed in hidden legislation or by judges favoring secularism over the true meaning of the Constitution. Voting procedures such as amendments, allow those in congress to vote a different way each time, so that when discussing controversial issues, they can tell whichever audience they're talking to, what that audience wants to hear. During the Democratic nominating campaign, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama each told voters in union dominated states, Michigan and Ohio, mostly things favorable to union causes. Just a day or two later when campaigning in right to work (union obligation, free) states such as Texas, they sounded like two different people. Regarding reckless spending, it is entirely possible you will not be informed as to who is truly being efficient with your hard earned dollars and who can do a great selling job, of seeming to be efficient. Hillary Clinton was on her way to being crowned the Democratic nominee, until Mr. O came along with an extreme left agenda. The extreme Left loved it, threw Hillary aside and nominated Mr. Obama. FROM: THE WASHINGTON POST Saturday, June 28, 2008; Page A06 "On a variety of issues, including gun control and campaign finance regulation, the presumptive Democratic nominee has shown himself willing to settle for incremental changes in the face of political reality rather than to hold out for the sweeping and uncompromising positions he initially stakes out. To Republicans, those shifts represent classic political flip-flops, and after this week's Supreme Court ruling overturning the District gun ban, Obama's decision to opt out of public financing for the general election and his backing of the wiretapping compromise, presumptive Republican nominee John McCain and his allies have come down hard. "It does seem to reflect a willingness . . . to change on positions, to be more liberal in the primary, to moving more conservative in the general election," said Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.). "I guess I should welcome that, but it looks like, to me, either inexperience or incredible flip-flopping" This is truly just a tiny sample of how much Mr. Obama has changed positions in order to win. He met once with Republican leaders, listened to their ideas, and reminded them that "he won", totally ignoring or partially implementing their ideas. He and every Democrat talking head, then went out and bragged incessantly about the President's bipartisan "effort." Democrats should adopt the slogan WORDS SPEAK LOUDER THAN ACTIONS. Please Bear With Me For Five More Minutes of Important Background Information Leading To and Supporting The Plan It would probably surprise you to know for example (See examples) Many Voters Will Get Many Things They Did Not Ask For And Vice-Verca--Some Will Be Horrified At Certain Democratic Legislation Millions who vote for Democrats are not aware for instance that the rep they elect will, in most cases, carry out the party platform, the platform of Nancy Pelosi in the House and Harry Reid in the Senate. These two dictate what the party faithful will do. Rarely do members dare go against the San Francisco values of Ms. Pelosi or The Highly Pugnacious, Often Insulting Style of Senator Reid. Therefore what many voters think they’re voting for, is not what they get in many important areas. Examples provided at the end. President Obama in his first 10 days in office, did such and such after repeatedly campaigning on such and such. This will be filled in at the appropriate time in the most strategic place. Once Nancy Pelosi have the required number of votes needed, especially on issues they want passed but that they know Americans despise and want voted down, she tells Democrats who have a larger than average number of conservative voters, it is ok to vote in the manner that will please constituents back home. This plan you are about to read comes at a time when the new president is spending wildly, while telling us, trillion dollar deficits, are here for a long time. That happens only because of a nanny-state belief and commitment to pulling more investment dollars out of the private sector to pay back all Democratic/nanny-state, causes; virtually all worthless pork. Federal Jobs Are a Negative--An Expense, the Average of Which is $110,000. In salary and benefits, the average federal worker earns $110,000 a year. In simplest terms, when a federal worker pays the average federal tax of 23% of $110,000, he thus pays $25,300. He retains $84,700, which (does not create any net wealth) resulting in a net loss/cost to taxpayers, of $59,700, before considering slight variations due to state and local tax payments and the tax free nature of benefits. Compare that to a private sector worker who is paid the same amount but (doesn't cost government anything). His job was paid for by his employer. Government has no worry or expense. The employer on the other hand loses money on the employee (unless and until the employee's productivity matches or exceeds that cost) resulting in a net gain to taxpayers, in the form of taxes paid to the government of $25, 300, the average amount on the same income paid to the government worker. Workers, who receive benefits from their employer can easily cost the employer $50,000 in salary, taxes and benefits. The government starts receiving revenues from both the employee and the employer, starting with the first penny earned by the employee, because of FICA taxes. The employer can easily lose money on that employee, for years if the employee never reaches the point of producing his $50,000 cost, the employer loses. Upon reaching then surpassing that cost is when the employer starts to profit.. The government never loses. The risk-taker often does. Yet Democrats and the Mainstream Media constantly reverse this, making villains out of the employers, who take the risks, do the work and create the wealth. Dems and the Media adore and make heroes of those who vote the money away, in the name of compassion. The Mainstream Media is Devoted To Big Government/Nanny-State Solutions. Proof is everywhere--LITERALLY!!! Voting Records, Contributions To Candidates, Polls and studies by Pew Research, Gallup polling, major newspapers and practically every reputable reporting source, nationally, including highly liberal publications. The Los Angeles, Times, Washington Post, etc. show, for decades now, the overwhelming proof, of the domination of the Democratic Party, among media figures, including and especially among the Washington Press Corp. The public school system from K-12 grabs young minds from early childhood through late teens and overwhelmingly favors the nanny-state. Professors in our colleges and universities in the same numbers as the media, probably more so, believe in and do much nanny-state brainwashing of students. Ivy League professors are particularly aggressive and believe it or not, many are proud Marxists. MTV, John Stewart, Oprah, David Letterman, Bill Maher, NBC, CBS, ABC All Mind-Numbing in Devoted Liberalism The Publishing Industry, including books for our elementary and secondary young minds, still learning about the world around them. Christians particularly are given second rate status See recent example Hollywood Google and Yahoo Owners and many of their top executives PBS AN INTEGRITY FREE ZONE Sadly--The Media Suffers From Economic Illiteracy Sound Like a Reckless Statement? Two words avoided at all costs by the media WEALTH CREATION There is no known Leftist who recognizes and discusses the starting point and the only means we have to pay for government and to main a reasonable living standard The Private Sector Is The Machine That Creates All Wealth If a Government Allocates Its Resources Properly (HONG KONG IS A FANTASTIC EXAMPLE) the Parasitic Role of Government Shifts - It Becomes a Positive, Which Enhances Wealth. A GREAT BUT RARE EXAMPLE OF PROPER ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES The expansion of the National Highway System, under President Eisenhower in the 1950's. HistoryNet.Com President Eisenhower and America's Interstate Highway System Today We've Moved Far, Far Away From Properly Allocating Resources. Since the Election of Barack Obama, We Have Begun Racing Away From It. IT SIMPLY RAILS AND INCESSANTLY TAKES SIDES AGAINST THE FREE MARKET, AGAINST BUSINESSMEN AND CEO'S PAINTING THEM COLLECTIVELY AS GREEDY, WHEN JUST A FEW HAVE ABUSED THEIR POSITION. The Nanny-State Never Does The Highly Difficult Part--The Creating of The Wealth But Always Advocates The Spending of That Wealth--The Easy Part. Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama Have Never Directly Created One Penny Of Wealth, Yet Using Government (Spending Other People's Money) the Clinton's Have Become Multi-Millionaires. Barack and Michelle Obama are only regular millionaires, all made possible by the use of government. They will soon, without question, become multi-millionaires. I would love to brag about their success, if they would acknowledge that Conservatives and the Conservative Base Makes Most of the Great Contribution To America's Greatness, While Most of The Nanny-State Sits on The Receiving End, Sniping at the Hard workers---The Wealth Creators. The typical small business man in a small strip mall with 2 or 3 employees, understands and appreciates the difficulty and necessity of wealth creation far better than the Clinton's or the Obama's. TERMS FOR VICTIM STATUS/CLASS WARFARE Reliable government data disproves practically all of these lies. We must massively and aggressively address those lies. Those lies are now a powerful force against us. The battle against those lies absolutely must be waged forcefully and won!!! Just reading the headlines of Liberal media figures like Jonathan Chaitt, E.J. Dionne, Krugman and kook sites like the Huffington Post, The Daily Kos, Move On.org, will show either their total omission of, or near complete silence on the critical role and difficulty of private sector wealth creation. #### MARCH 25TH
Speaking To Your Audience—You Will Promise: ## As a congressman/woman accept only 80% (a 20% reduction) of the salary of $174,000-(2010 projected salary). If, voluntarily, candidates took less, they might increase their chances of winning. They could point to the income average of $50, 233--through 2007 the income for an entire household (Census Bureau--REAL MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME--1967-2006 CHART) Show voters, that out of the starting gate, you’re deadly serious about profligate spending and that you will set the example on spending and reining in an out of control government, by taking a reduced salary. Americans would not expect a congressperson to do his job properly on $50,233. However a candidate who lives up to responsible spending in Washington D.C. could garner much support among the everyday responsible taxpayers, struggling to support their families. This won't be appreciated by those are now receiving huge amounts of other people's money. Even though these recipients have no Constitutional, or other right to the earnings of others, they will fight as fiercely to control that money as if someone came into their home and stole it from them directly. Democrats in congress will fight just as fiercely, while claiming every victim category on earth, and showing anger like we've never seen. Don't Back Down. INVOKE YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL AND MORAL RIGHT. However those who actually pay all their FICA taxes and income taxes would be most supportive. Newly elected House member, Jason Chaffetz, uses his office as his apartment. Even though I never heard of him till 4 weeks ago on the Glenn Beck show, this plan has many elements of the actions that got Mr. Chaffetz elected. FROM WIKIPEDIA In the primary on June 24, 2008, Chaffetz defeated Cannon by a vote of 60% to 40%.[9] Chaffetz's victory was shocking on several fronts. Cannon was endorsed by George W. Bush[10], the state's two U.S. Senators (Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett) and virtually all of the state Republican establishment. Cannon outspent him by 6 to 1,[11] had a paid staff, as well as the endorsement of all three of the local newspapers. In contrast, Chaffetz won no significant endorsements and refused to buy meals and trinkets for his supporters. He had unpaid staff and a grassroots organization of over 1,000 volunteers. He received the bulk of his campaign contributions from individual donors, and his campaign was 100% debt-free... His opponent had 6 times more money, 6 terms of experience, the backing of both U.S. Senators and the. Bloated, Expensive Staffs Staff spending averages about $1 million a year, with some individual staff members earning $160,000 a year, before adding in very expensive benefits. Total staff spending absolutely can be shaved to $600,000 a year while still paying very good salaries and more than adequate benefits. No one will exceed $100,000 a year before several years of proven worth to earn a salary that high. Staff Savings in just 1 of 535 districts $400,000. My (candidate's) website will show the updated cost of every other candidate's staff. My site will have my own staff's individual salaries, their background and a brief resume showing why they deserved to be hired. I will carefully examine and do my best to reduce my congressional staff from 18 to 14, to set a further example of not spending 1 penny unnecessarly. Much staff hiring has to do with winning reelection of the congressman by gaining as much favorable publicity as possible, communicating to constituents how much the congressman improved their lives, which translates to how much money came back from D.C. to be spent in their district. Of course this ignores the fact that that money was first taken from the district, only a portion of it came back after the hiring of federal workers at $110,000, per, and the funding of programs that cost tens of billions that have failed for decadesbut never die. Because of entrenched powers whose districts benefit from programs that haven't worked for decades, but still dole out millions for votes, these programs never end. Out of the starting gate you will give voters 4 examples of sound efficiency with their money, and four very specific examples, not just smooth sounding and vague, rhetoric. Voters should be very pleased with these examples. 1. Reducing Your Own Salary 2. Reducing Up To $400,000, The Cost of the Office You Win 3. Reducing The Amount Above Further By Hiring 4 Fewer Workers. 4. Reducing The Hefty Expenditures of Congressional Percs and Constantly Urging The Rest of Congress To Do The Same With Maximum Publicity To Highlight Their Response. It is unlikely, your opponent will match this. If he derides it in any way, have a game plan to expose his phoniness. Set the tone immediately. Those who are here for higher government spending will be wasting their time and you will not let them waste any of yours. If they are lobbying for more efficient government spending, or reduced government spending, they will get serious attention. A 1990's study showed lobbyists in Washington-fighting for higher spending-outnumbered those who are neutral or for lower spending by a whopping 7 to 1 margin. The amount of lobbyists has almost certainly more than doubled since then and the HUGE $ 787 BILLION PORKFEST passed by President Obama, has already caused a stampede. Earmarks are illegal. Earmarks will be taboo. All Earmarks will get a no vote, pure and simple. Reduce taxation of all states. Stop taking it, for the bureaucracy, adding federal payroll and new federal programs, especially out of control entitlements, then sending a portion of it back. This is silly. Let us hammer home unceasingly, how much earmarks/pork and all waste, prove why money should not be sent to Washington, only to receive a smaller portion of it back. This of course ties in with voters insisting that Congress hold yearly budget increases to economic growth (GDP) and commit to no further borrowing in the absence of at least a 2/3 majority. Article 2 of The Constitution, solidly backed up by the Tenth Amendment, give, us the absolute tool, to insist and enforce this "right". States have 2 to 3 times more revenue as they did just several decades ago-adjusted for inflation. The correct amount, (not one penny, more) of taxation, taken from citizens, by government, correlates with minimizing the COST OF CAPITAL. Before the 2003 BUSH TAX CUTS, reduced the COST OF CAPITAL, the U.S. withstood 9 straight quarters of non-growth or near zero growth. After the cost of capital was cut, we had over 20 plus straight quarters of serious growth, some of which were soaring growth. Cutting the COST OF CAPITAL has never failed to promote growth and the accompanying hefty increase in jobs. Proper allocation of resources would reverse the whole trend. It will let states start paying for their own bridges, highways, and other state expenses, and still net out with more cash if proper allocation takes place. This additional working capital will add jobs, revenue, new construction, increased living standards, increased per capita income and much else. Saving the bureaucratic expense of the federal government, will add much to the prosperity of most states, more likely all states and give others the incentive to do the same. The Constitution tries to prevent what we have now, it calls exactly for what is proposed above-reduced government, maximum home rule. America desperately needs one of these to end the redistribution thievery that is growing worse each year. The projections for the future, prove beyond a doubt, these entitlement programs cannot be sustained. Our long term debt is now over $60 trillion dollars--that's trillion with a T. Even before the Meltdown, our own Government Accountability Office (GAO) declared flat out, in its 2007 report, that this trend cannot be sustained.(3) It's not an if, we are already obligated to costs of $60 trillion. SINCE SEPTEMBER 2008, WE HAVE GONE ABSOLUTELY INSANE Starting with the bailout under George Bush which was very bad, the madness has moved to insanity, under President Obama. If we do not unify very quickly and act with no waste of time, we might possibly be carried to ruination. ONE WORD IS BEHIND ALL OF THIS RUINATION The housing meltdown resulted from Democratic politicians and the highly fraudulent group ACORN, blackmailing lending institutions into giving loans to millions, who couldn’t pay the money back, taking down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac through corruption of Clinton cronies. Bill Clinton's role, the cronies in his administration, and those now in congress who should be in jail for ruining our economy are covered thoroughly elsewhere. DEVISE METHODS TO MAKE THE MEDIA AND CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS STOP LYING ABOUT TAXES MAINSTREAM MEDIA/DEMOCRATS The Most Important Number For Taxpayers Real after-tax per capita personal income through October, 2007 rose by 12.7 percent – an average of over $3,800 per person, practically all after the Bush tax cuts, and before the housing meltdown. This was obviously a combination of lower tax rates and phenomenal growth in the economy. Until Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Franklin Raines and The Democrat Party caused the Housing Meltdown, through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, American workers were making great gains. REFUTING THE NEXT BIG MAINSTREAM MEDIA/DEMOCRAT PARTY LIE THIS ASININE LIE DEFIES THE IMAGINATION. The following comes from the CENSUS BUREAU: 09s0624 TABLE 624 EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES AVERAGE WAGE PER EMPLOYEE RECALL: TAX CUTS WERE SIGNED INTO LAW IN 2003---AVERAGE PRIVATE SECTOR WAGE AT THAT TIME WAS $37, 508 FIRST full year after tax cuts, went fully into affect, average wage 2004 $39,134 ---PLUS $1626 2005 $40,505 ---PLUS $1371 2006 $42,414 ---PLUS $1909 NEED EVEN MORE SPECIFIC DATA? FROM: Bureau of Labor Statistics REAL EARNINGS JANUARY 2001 COMPARED TO JANUARY 2009 Adjusted For Inflation January 2001 $14.09 January 2009 $18.41 plus (+)$4.40 The full report covers every major category of production workers. Of course some earned more-some earned less but this was a very hefty plus for production workers when averaged out---and don't forget, this is clear salary, a net gain in these amounts. The link above has the data for every single month, going back to 1994. From August 2003 through October 2007, 8.31 Million Jobs were Created-the Longest Continuous Months Of Job Growth On Record. This ended about 9 months after Democrats took control of congress, and because of the Democrats fierce resistance to bringing the Housing Meltdown under control, probably ended swiftly, an economic expansion that still might be going on. 166,000 jobs created in October -- despite the cost of oil and epidemic of home mortgage foreclosures. Unemployment was at 4.7 percent.'' "The economy had six years of uninterrupted growth, averaging 2.8 percent a year since 2001.'' 8. ENERGY and The Environmental Extremists 8. NO SPECIAL INTEREST IN AMERICA IS DESTROYING PROSPERITY AS MUCH AS THIS ONE President Obama's deceptive words are a cruel hoax. Carol Browner , until recently, a socialist international group leader, is probably the real leader of the president's environmental goals, basically wants to transfer as much of your labor to government as possible. 8. FOSSIL FUELS-TENS OF TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE INVESTED IN VEHICLES, MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT The world economy cannot come close to maintaining present living standards without fossil fuels for the next 25 years, to say nothing of improving the lives of the 3 or 4 billion who now live on less than $2 a day. All the special interests Reality must dominate this conversation. The extremists in this movement have enormous power over the Democrat Party This movement have planted a seed, that profits, damage the environment, suggesting an uncaring attitude from those who want a reasonable energy policy. We must elect 25-35 year olds who will vote to make us truly energy independent by voting for Drilling now Nuclear energy Clean Coal Not only can we stop sending $600 billion a year to our enemies, we can add millions badly needed high paying jobs to our economy while increasing revenues to the government from a much broader labor force. Voting for any nanny-state believer will keep us energy dependent forever. 9. Farm Subsidies Eliminate practically all farm subsidies. Most subsidies go to very rich farmers. They cost $24 billion dollars a year. Vote to knock out practically all of these, unless it will clearly result in the rescue of some small farms, without hurting consumers. Attempt to bring the yearly farm subsidy down to less than $5 billion a year, if spent efficiently, again emphasizing the word efficient, related to spending. 10. Free Trade Free Trade has huge benefits to the public in lower consumer costs and to 150 million private sector employees, who create 100% of the nation’s wealth and who should not be punished for 11 million union workers. Millions of union workers are in public employees unions, which get huge salary and benefit packages entirely and directly from taxpayers. These union/government workers keep raising their living standards only by reducing yours. Politicians know the destructiveness of union intimidation but because they accept hundreds of millions in contributions, from unions, they proceed indifferently, using false data and the deceptive phrase “fair trade.” Punishing 150 Million Workers and 300 Million Consumers To Satisfy A Few Is Not Just Intolerable, It Is Criminal 11. School Choice The Public School Monopoly Is Not Just Stifling Educational Advancement, it is fighting it fiercely for its own gains, and succeeding. 12. English Only--PERIOD The National Language. No political correctness. Americans want English for the national language. Official business, government documents, election ballots, telephone messages, etc. English only. 13. Border Security Not just border security first, enforcement of all existing laws, with-hold all funding from sanctuary cities, do everything that responds to one of the most decisive actions America has ever taken, when it told congress in the most lob-sided manner, that it wanted the entire illegal immigration mess, turned legal, period!!! Arizona has passed legislation, putting employers on notice, they must use the nearly foolproof ID procedures when hiring workers. Illegal workers have been leaving Arizona in droves, removing the argument that we cannot deport 12 million illegal immigrants. We no longer have to. 9th Circuit - Ninth Circuit Upholds Arizona's Employer Sanctions Law09/18/2008 The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday (September, 2008) issued a ruling upholding the Legal Arizona Workers Act (“LAWA”). LAWA provides for the suspension and revocation of the business licenses of Arizona employers who knowingly employ illegal immigrants. LAWA also requires employers to verify the work status of newly-hired workers through the federal E-Verify employment verification program. John McCain has sidestepped discussion of this law and continues supporting the present law-breaking that exists. He simply wants his own way in this matter, ignoring the most overpowering public outcry of my lifetime against his amnesty bill-even if semantically-the word amnesty-is not 100% accurate; essentially it is amnesty. About 90% of Americans want absolutely no part of it. John McCain will likely double cross conservatives again and join Barack Obama, who will likely move to make all illegals, legal to get millions of new votes. To The Required Number and Types Of Workers America Needs Most--Fast No more Political Correctness of letting in an out of proportion number of unskilled workers and high-school dropouts. What the American labor force needs, MUST BE the only consideration for the types of workers legally admitted each year.
MARCH 25 The Misnamed Earned-Should Be- (Unearned) Income Tax Credit Has Become Not Just A Monster But A True Danger and Created THE GREAT SUBTERFUGE Elected Democrats Must Be Challenged-starting today-by use of the term Net Taxpayers, many of whom lie, in saying, or suggesting, this group pays payroll taxes. Some do, but millions in this group, do not. The $4824 check they receive, knocks out all payroll taxes first, then gives them $2000 more in cash. This means NET TAXPAYERS are paying for the social security check this group will receive later in life, paying for the MEDICARE, this group will use later in life and giving them thousands in cash beyond that. THIS MADNESS MUST BE STOPPED. Of the 22 Million, who receive the Unearned Income Tax Credit many millions, pay no federal taxes at all and beyond that get a huge cash check. STRIKE OUT AT BRING HOME THE BACON No More “Bring Home The Bacon” (It shouldn’t leave in the first place). The only money that should leave each state is money that clearly serves the nation as a whole. EARMARKS ARE PROOF THAT STATES SHOULD NOT SEND THAT MONEY TO WASHINGTON TO BEGIN WITH Can anyone doubt that dollars sent to Washington add expenses in the form of new employees, new regulations, new administration of those funds, and new programs, hundreds of which are proven by our own Governmental Accountability Office-every year-to be failed and/or duplicative. So with those in congress fighting to BRING HOME THE BACON, we know for certain, it was unnecessary for that money to go there in the first place, only to receive a smaller portion of it back. President Obama's Promise To Go "Line By Line" To Eliminate WasteHas Gone Absolutely Nowhere. Prediction: It Never Will With 500 members fighting each other to bring home the most pork, the redistribution pot grows incessantly? Powerful Committee Chairmen, obtain enormous amounts for their districts. This is what gets them elected for 30 years or more, as Chairman John Murtha and others have. In fact, John Dingell has been in Congress for 54 years and Senator Robert Byrd has been there for 56 years. Senator Byrd, for years has held the title, KING OF PORK, because of the billions he has delivered to his home state of West Virginia. Public universities, bridges, roads, etc, adorn his name all over the state. Under the latest pork-laden monster, Senator Byrd is again leading pork recipients. His 2009 amount to confiscate for his home state is $123,000,000 plus. Americans should start treating this with disgust. It violates the CONSTITUTION, it is a form of theft. This is precisely what is gone on with the bailout.
Limit Yearly Federal Increases To Economic Growth-- Colorado Has Done It-Hong Kong Does it-Results Have Been Spectacular This would force congress to do what every American family must do. American families must examine their income, then pay necessities first--out of their own pockets. Beyond necessities, families choose what they can and cannot have Congress has no such restraint. It passes legislation without worrying about the cost. Congress votes money to itself and to those who will reelect them--100% from your daily labor. If emergency spending above economic growth is called for, simply authorize an increase by a 2/3 majority in one or both bodies of congress. There is no question, the American people are smart enough to let congress know if and when it's necessary to spend beyond economic growth. Liberal elites have little faith in the average American, and so would fight measures like these. This has to do with Elites' certainty, that they know (and we don't) what's best for America, which always, always, has nanny-state solutions as its basis. The reality is, that very certainty of the elite, is so utterly wrong and harmful. When it comes to solutions, and the aspects of life that have made America, overwhelmingly, the greatest land of opportunity in history, it is the elitists/Mainstream Media, who are actually the most uninformed. Now trillions have been added for bailouts and stimulus plans to spend at its whim-Congress never fails to spend every penny and want more. PROOF OF THIS POINT IS JUMPING OUT-EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY!!! Upon becoming Mayor of New York, following many years in congress and a very liberal voting record, supporting most spending measures, Ed Koch supposedly was asked why (then as Mayor of New York) he had become so careful with taxpayer dollars. The Mayor's response: "ARE YOU KIDDING, THIS IS REAL MONEY" This anecdote is a perfect example of why we need to invoke the law of the land-why we need to get back to following our Constitution. From 1933 until now-76 years-we have tolerated serious violation of that hallowed document, by sending more and more of our daily labor to Washington, and letting the national government control areas of our lives, it should be nowhere near. Let's spend the next 76, bringing back THE CONSTITUTION. The Nanny-State will fight this fiercely but we are Americans. We stand for what's right. We have The Constitution totally on our side. In this role of expanded government power way beyond its right, the Nanny-State does not have the Constitution on its side at all.
Truly!!! A very large portion of the bacon should never, ever go to Washington Bureaucrats. The present "BRING HOME THE BACON" is more often than not, made light of. "BRING HOME THE BACON" has been highly destructive, especially since FDR. BRING HOME THE BACON must be exposed for the destructiveness it has caused. The Constitution was about "controlling government power in every way" The Founding Fathers worked tirelessly to prevent exactly what's happening right now. Government originally was expressly forbidden from taxing income--our earnings, an amendment took that right from citizens. Taxing more than anything, does the opposite. It is the root of what gives government power. It diminishes, almost removes "home rule." WE MUST GET BACK TO IT!!! Reversing the whole cycle will be a tough but highly worthwhile and critically important objective. Today, counties or similar entities, take too much from local governments, create too many bureaucrats and bureaucracies at that level. Your hard earned dollars are virtually unseen upon moving away from your local government entity. This makes it easier for bureaucrats to spend. This is the first step in redistribution, from those who earn to those who do not. The cost is high at that level but still small compared to the state level. The cost to you starts getting large at the state level, and harder for you to see, therefore easier for bureaucrats to spend. At the federal level, it gets seriously out of control and becomes wildly expensive and wildly shameful in its redistrubtion-actually theft-and a blatant violation of The Constitution. No more words should be necessary, America should strike back. Keep every penny you should, within your home district. This gives you a chance of keeping all or most of it, in your own pocket. Whatever expenses are a true necessity, Americans are always to pay and always have been. Starve the beast-except for what you decide-is the absolute PROPER ALLOCATION OF SCARCE RESOURCES at every level of government. Make every candidate who runs for office, promise that PROPER ALLOCATION OF SCARCE RESOURCES, especially with every penny of your hard dollars is his primary goal. Elected officials cannot do anything to advance you to the American Dream or to success in life, they can only protect you from having it taken by government. The present majority and Barack Obama are on a REDISTRIBUTION RAMPAGE. We must reverse this. Daniel Boone served several terms in Congress. During one session, a bill came before the House of Representatives, giving consideration to an American, who had served his country in a noble way. A member of congress want this person to be rewarded and got a bill passed which did just that. Daniel Boone felt he was doing the right thing and voted for the bill. Later, a constituent wrote and asked Daniel Boone where in the Constitution was it authorized for him to vote the way he did. After much studying of the situation, Daniel Boone concluded that he constituent was correct. From that point forward, he adhered strictly to the Constitution. There are letters and compliments from presidents and other high ranking congressman, in which almost identical situations arose. These presidents and congressman usually had the almost identical quote when voting against unauthorized rewards which essentially was: I can find anything in the Constitution which would allow me to support (whatever reward they were referring to. I cannot find among my thousands of files, where the exact account of these quotes and incidents are. If someone can assist please contact me or direct me to information. # # # # # I have constructed a plan (a carefully constructed guide) for getting 25-35 year old men and/or women elected to congress. REDUCE FEDERAL SPENDING TO 17% OF GDP BY 2021 PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS RAISED IT FROM A MUCH TOO HEFTY 23% TO AN OUTRAGEOUS AND UNBELIEVABLE 34% DURING HIS FIRST SEVERAL MONTHS 2. ADHERING TO THE THE CONSTITUTION 3. RETURNING TO HOME RULE AND LOCAL CONTROL-BY KEEPING TAX COLLECTIONS TO AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM AND ENFORCING AIRTIGHT CONTROL OUR ORGANIZATION WILL INVITE MULTIPLE CANDIDATES (FOR INTERVIEWS) WHO ARE INTERESTED IN CARRYING OUT OUR SPECIFIC PLATFORM, WHICH WE WILL PRESENT TO THEM. We will seek, but not limit choices to, 25-35 year olds, who are interested in our goals, but not interested in becoming lifetime politicians, thus becoming (entrenched powers). Entrenched Powers are destroying America
It Consists of: -A Highly Specific--TARGETED--Overarching, Spending Goal Which Can Easily Be Measured and Cannot Be Deviated From Without Losing Our Support -A 13 Step Platform of Conservative Beliefs and Goals Supporting The Implementation of that Plan -A Slogan (very brief) Which Adheres Strictly To Constitutional Government, While Deriding The Violations and Philosophy That Have Insidiously Carried Us To an Over sized and reckless, federal behemoth. Hopefully, we will have numerous candidates and will choose those who totally buy into the platform. They need a history of integrity, personal responsibility, a belief in freedom, individual rights, limited government and the determination and wherewithal to carry out those beliefs. -1. REDUCED SALARY AND OTHER PERCS OF CANDIDATE To Set an example, before even being elected: As a congressman/woman pledge to accept only 80% (a 20% reduction) of the salary of $174,000-(2010 projected salary). The reduced amount is 3 times larger than the average U.S. (household) income. Supporting Statement Supporting Statement -2. REDUCE COST OF CANDIDATE'S OFFICE--BY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS See how and why this can easily be achieved. -3. LOBBYISTS Reducing the cost of government and promoting efficient savings, will be the top priority for our candidates. Lobbyists offering legislation, which clearly benefits America as a nation (not districts, states or even regions) will be granted access to the congressman. Lobbyists will meet only in his/her office and among staff, with the topic of discussion known to everyone. All proposals, by lobbyists, must include a cost/benefit analysis provided by a reputable, neutral source. No lunches, dinners, seminars, overseas trips, fact finding, vacations, etc. will be accepted. Candidate will run on a platform of never asking for, or accepting an earmark for his own district and will vote against every single earmark, every year, with no exceptions. Vote Against Unnecessary Programs Which Have Taken Hundreds of Billions From States for literally hundreds and hundreds of unnecessary program and hundreds of thousands of high paying useless, very expensive jobs. 6. FLAT TAX OR CONSUMPTION TAX (FAIR TAX)--THIS IS CRUCIAL--The Time and Circumstances Have Arrived For A Serious Effort -7. MAINSTREAM MEDIA A massive effort and large organization must be formed to combat the lies, distortions, one sided portrayals, spin and willful misunderstanding of the Media -8. ENERGY Drill Now--Period. Clean Coal Developed Now--Period. Nuclear Plants Now--Period. Energy Efficiency---ASAP 9. Farm Subsidies Eliminate practically all farm subsidies. Most subsidies go to very rich farmers. These subsidies cost $24-30 billion dollars a year. To keep small farmers, farming, would probably cost well under $5 billion, maybe under $2 billion. 10. Free Trade Free Trade has huge benefits to the public in lower consumer costs and to 150 million private sector employees, who create 100% of the nation’s wealth and who should not be punished for 11 million union workers. 11. School Choice The Public School Monopoly Is Not Just Stifling Educational Advancement, it is fighting it fiercely for its own gains, and succeeding. 12. English Only--PERIOD The National Language. No political correctness. Americans want English for the national language. Official business, government documents, election ballots, telephone messages, etc. English only. 13. Border Security Not just border security first, enforcement of all existing laws. We must with-hold all funding from sanctuary cities, do everything that responds to one of the most decisive actions America has ever taken, when it told congress in the most lob-sided manner, in 2007 that it wanted the entire illegal immigration mess, turned legal, period!!!

We also have 28% of world's GDP and our total energy potential could actually give us a surplus of energy to sell to the world instead of expending $750 billion dollars overseas. HAS BECOME AN INTEGRITY FREE ZONE Yet to be discovered--A single LEFTIST--who recognizes and discusses the starting point and only means we have to both 1. pay for government and 2. maintain our unprecedented living standard. MOST MISINFORMED ENTITY IN AMERICA Millions of Americans who vote, are misinformed. This does not mean they have no idea what's going on in politics. It means these millions 1. Get and accept the views of the MAINSTREAM MEDIA 2. Accept the absolute certainty that, government should equalize what we all have. 3. 25% of Democrats recently polled, believe the government has money of its own. It seems as though the Media must also think so. Whereas the Constitution was constructed to make OPPORTUNITY equal for all, the nanny-state puts all of its efforts into REDISTRIBUTION. Nanny-state action, does throw money at problems, rarely solving problems, but practically always creating long-term dependency and a sense of entitlement. Since the War On Poverty began in 1965, the U.S. has thrown $12 trillion dollars at welfare. The overwhelming contribution--Dependency for 2nd and 3rd generations, in many cases. Take just one example, MEDICAID. Forty million Americans use MEDICAID. A very large number of these are unwed mothers and or high school dropouts. Besides costing the federal government over $200 billion a year, and state governments, additional hundreds of billions, every several years, a large majority, produce nothing or little for America. Do you ever hear Paul Krugman, Frank Rich, David Corn, etc. examining the increased opportunities that these and all Americans would have, if these individuals became producers, instead of long-term dependents. Welfare reform under Bill Clinton did exactly that, for millions. Yet, Mainstream Media All Stars, met this improvement to these individuals and to the nation, with almost total silence, some even skewed the numbers, so they could deny the positive outcome. Now, they are happy to support the new "stimulus sham", which absolutely and shamelessly, reverses these gains, by rewarding states, if those states increase welfare dependency. The Democrat Party can count on practically 100% of these recipient/dependents for their votes. Whenever You Rob Peter To Pay Paul, You Can Always Count On The Support of Paul --George Bernard Shaw 1. WEALTH CREATION 2. PROPER ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES If a government allocates its resource properly (Hong Kong is a fantastic example) then the parasitic role of government becomes a positive which enhances wealth. Today, we've moved far, far away from properly allocating resources. The Media doesn't talk about that small detail. It simply rails and incessantly takes ides against the free market, against businessmen and CEO'S, painting them collectively as greedy, when just a few have abused their position. There are 25 million business in the U.S. IDENTIFY MIDDLE CLASS BY TAX BRACKET TERMS FOR VICTIM STATUS/CLASS WARFARE The Democrat Party and the Mainstream Media have been on a massive lying campaign regarding dozens of major lies, for 25 years and succeeded. Mr. Krugman had been caught in a gigantic (I'll politely use the word "misrepresentation") of government's role in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This type of misrepresentation has been going on since the Flower Children/Hippie movement took over the Democrat Party, in the late 1960's. I have written an Ebook (not for profit--no charge to read it, detailing facts, mostly from the IRS, Labor Bureau, Census Bureau, etc. which totally the many liberal lies of the last 3 decades. Following my 12 step plan and in the interest of brevity, just 2 examples are given. Access to my book is also provided We must massively and aggressively address those lies. Liberal lies have become a powerful force against America's greatness. The battle against Liberal/Mainstream Media lies must be waged--forcefully!!! Just reading the headlines of Liberal Media fighures like Jonathan Chaitt and Krugman, E.J. Dionne, and everything from the Huffington Post, will show their total omission of the critical role and difficulty in private sector wealth creation. Daniel Boone's congressional voting record and statement on the Constitution The private sector creates all wealth. Every government job and program is paid for by taxpayers only. Each drains wealth. It is possible for government to use funds that might indirectly create wealth, if the resources used by government are allocated properly. The proper number of government jobs is what we should have. That number is far less than the number we do have. This is an area in which government fails miserably and diminishes per capita income drastically. Businesses on the other hand, go out of business when they do not allocate resources properly. Later you will learn that even individual business failures still help the overall economy and our standard of living. Going back 55-60 years ago, two such government programs are generally considered to have led to spurring economic growth. The WW2 GI Bill under President Harry Truman and the National Highway System under President Dwight Eisenhower. These seemed to have been great pluses to America. President Eisenhower's expenditures in true investment, leading to the national highway's being built was in no way comparable to today's empty rhetoric. It used the word investment honestly. To spend the initial trillion or so in a short period, now being spent, and spent with such haste, and little or no oversight, should show us not just very fast results but true wealth creation, which we know isn't going to happen. This bill is almost totally dominated by special interest Democrat paybacks and pork projects which will do nothing but add to taxpayer debt. Using the term "soaring" for the amount of debt we are taking on is not a strong enough term to describe what we are doing.
The (CBO) Congressional Budget Office study of the data, already reveals that this monstrosity will reduce wealth over the long run, which is exactly the opposite of what helps the nation. Instead fear and scare tactics abound. Mr. Obama is saying this gigantic amount of spending might have to continue on and on. This is simply code by Mr. Obama which translates to "I want to expand government power, keep paying off those who helped get me elected and create millions of new followers that love receiving money that someone else earned" --George Bernard Shaw TAXES: WE MUST PUT CHARTS ALL OVER AMERICA SHOWING TAX BRACKETS AND THE AMOUNT OWED POLITICIANS MUST START TALKING IN BRACKETS ONLY WHAT THEY PROMISE THEY WILL DO WITH EACH BRACKET. WE MUST MEASURE EVERY TWO YEARS WHO HAS KEPT PROMISES AND WHO HAS BROKEN THEM. Must understand taxable income--2009 BRACKET 10% 0--$16,700 15% $16,700--$67,900 25% $67,900--$137,050 28% $137,050--$208,850 33% $208,850--$372,950 36% $372,950-- # # # # # FLAT TAX PART 2 FLAT TAX PART 2 FLAT TAX PART 2 FLAT TAX PART 2 FLAT TAX PART 2 FLAT TAX PART 2 FLAT TAX PART 2 FLAT TAX PART 2 # # # # # # House Banking Chairman Barney Frank and Senate Banking Chairman Christopher Dodd, upon being warned that faulty loans were risking great danger, didn't just ignore the warnings, they fought fiercely against them, even attacked government officials issuing warnings that turned out to be totally accurate. This was done to protect those who reelect them, deadbeats notwithstanding. This caused the collapse of the entire economy, just one example of government creating a victim group, then using redistribution, resulting in a disaster for most Americans. In both the Flat Tax and the Fair Tax, one source of taxation would pay the entire cost of government so in that sense, the method of payment would generally be the same, While the Fair Tax seems every bit as desirable as the flat tax, possibly more so, it almost certainly would be more fiercely fought by a Democratic Congress. The Fair Tax has a totally sound basis--taxes paid are based on consumption. It's highly desirable to conservatives . Glib Democratic congressmen and women, however will hate its premise because it does not redistribute to their constituents. Democrats will not come close to admitting this, rather they will have glib spin and manipulation of facts, galore. Because we have no previous data to point to and make reasonable comparisons to, they truly might win the argument by deceit. Democrat scare tactics have been perfected over the years, as has their ability to accuse opponents of being guilty of the deceit, that they themselves, are most guilty of. The Flat Tax, on the other hand, would still be in the hands of congress, albeit at one rate for everyone and based on the principal, the more dollars you earn, the more you dollars you pay. The Internal Revenue has 100% accurate data that cannot be argued with. That data tells us the exact number of taxpayers in each bracket and the exact amount now being paid in each of those six brackets. A very close estimate, of how much revenue would be realized, from whatever the final flat tax rate would be, could be closely determined. An equal amount of difficulty in obtaining a Fair Tax would be it is a 100% revision of the present system, so that arguments of uncertainty-EVEN IF NOT TRUE-would make it much easier to cause massive confusion to even highly savvy tax payers. The Internet is already packed with groups causing massive confusion over THE FAIR TAX. What we must not do is fight among ourselves over this issue. Those who want smaller government, must implement a plan, now, under the present horrific circumstances, just to control spending, then get our forces together to bring about either a Flat Tax or Consumption Tax--this one named the Fair Tax. I believe there is an effort under way for forces to do exactly that. After Topic 12, there is a complete example, my own example, for how a Flat Tax might work. Included is the idea that it could be filed on a postcard, requiring 11 lines of info, probably taking 15 minutes, at most, to fill out. The Flat Tax on the other hand is a very simple concept, only a slight revision of what we now have, with just one rate and could unquestionably set up to require a very very simple form of no more than 11 lines of information as small or smaller than a postcard. Twenty Four countries, including many who have lived under communism have adopted a flat tax in recent years, improving most of these economies, while increasing revenues to the government. To accommodate low income workers, and get congress to act you would likely need to accommodate the millions of workers at or near median family income levels, exempting, somewhere near $50,000 a year for a family of four. An example might be: A Standard Deduction of $15,000 per person and an exemption of $10,000 for each dependent. These would be the only deductions and be based strictly on reducing taxes paid. i.e. unlike today’s massive redistribution, millions who pay no income taxes or payroll taxes [[[even get cash payments of other workers’ money, including receiving payments from those earning tiny salaries but who do not qualify for the EITC based on decisions by politicians over who should pay taxes and who become recipients of those taxes paid.]]] THE FLAT TAX and TAXABLE INCOME A family of four would therefore exclude the first $50,000 of income and pay 20% (arbitrary number) tax on the remainder. Therefore a family of four with $51, 000 of income would exclude $50,000 and have: 1. Taxable income of $1000 a tax of $200---20% X $1000=$200 2. Family of 4 with $151,000 taxable income of $101,000- tax of $21,000. $101,000 X 20%=$21,000 A single person could earn $15,000 before owing any federal taxes, a married couple with no dependents could earn $30,000. This plan is not perfect, then again, none are. Ironically, it is irresponsible behavior and poor decision making that puts very large numbers of these individuals receive this largesse. This way I (Mr. Obama) and the Democratic Party, will, like FDR, have millions of loyal voters, so that Democrats are in control for decades or longer. This is also why Democrats want illegal aliens to have amnesty. FAWNING BRAINDEAD MEDIA HAS NO GRASP OF REAL WORLD ECONOMICS, IS DEDICATED TO SOCIALIST NANNY-STATE The fawning media is soothing the way-gradually turning these huge spending measures-so criminal under conservatives, into wise moves, under he, they adore, so. This is absolutely unacceptable. Voters must speak out against this now!!! Do any conservatives doubt that Jim De Mint and Tom Coburn in the Senate; Jeff Flake, Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, maybe 10 or so, other House members, vote time after time, for exactly what conservatives believe should be the representation of the Conservative movement. This PLATFORM: -Has A Clear Overarching, Stated Conservative Goal -Has Yearly Goals -Has A Meaningful, Catchy, Slogan -Has A Specifically Laid Out Platform THIS PLATFORM HAS AS ITS OVERARCHING GOAL: A DETERMINED DRIVE TO BRING (FEDERAL) SPENDING DOWN TO 17% OF GDP BY 2021-PRESENTLY IT'S 24%-HEADED TO 30% (Total Government Spending) Is Now 37%-Headed For 45-50% HOW CAN WE POSSIBLY ACHIEVE THIS? By proving to the middle class and our young workforce that per capita income and the American standard of living will improve dramatically, under this plan. It will reverse the exact opposite trend. Since the election of President Obama, the Democratic plan does not care about growing the economy.President Obama's major goal is to redistribute income, largely from the earners and producers of that income to the non-earners and non-producers, robbing America's 306 million citizens, carrying us truly toward the cliff. -LIMIT YEARLY FEDERAL BUDGET INCREASES TO YEARLY ECONOMIC GROWTH Economic growth, adjusted for inflation, is to government what salary or wage increases are to families. Why should government continue (spending wildly) while we who pay them must keep pulling our belts in. Before the bailout, the federal government was spending 23% of GDP.. When state and local spending is added in, government NOW costs the average taxpayer 37% of the national income--$3 trillion plus-federal, $ 2 trillion plus state and local. Because of withholding, you have 37 cents of each dollar, taken first, leaving you just 63 cents on the dollar, to pay all your expenses. Government costs you more than your food, housing, clothing and partial transportation expenses---combined!!! This new spending madness will probably move it up to about 30%. Before FDR, it was less than 4%. #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### YES BUT WHAT ACTION WOULD WE TAKE TO DO THIS? STEPS -LIMIT YEARLY FEDERAL INCREASES TO ECONOMIC GROWTH COLOR="BLUE"> -Has No Understanding of the Importance and Difficulty of Wealth Creation Today and Historically, nor the understanding that American prosperity is totally dependent on wealth creators, who are the true heroes. -Has no Understanding of the fact that government does not have one penny of its own, nor does it directly create one penny of "net wealth." It Adores The Nanny-State and Relentlessly Advocates Government Solutions Even Though none exist. It is Totally Certain This Is True and Is In Disbelief of Those Who Do Not Understand This Certainty. Since the passing of Tim Russert, is there a single Mainstream Media figure on the left who is truthful about the history of tax cuts, especially capital gains tax cuts or one who –talks in any way about the 100% necessity of private sector wealth creation. We must give constant reminders that government does not have one penny of its own, nor does it create one penny of wealth on its own. Where does the trillions it is now spending and the trillions more of new spending going to come from? The prolific non-stop articles of men like Paul Krugman, flood the the Internet and air waves with incessant talk of solving problems through government, and creating victims groups entitled to your daily labor. To accept Mr. Krugman's insanity one must accept the logic that wealth creation comes totally from government-unrelated to the free market. Krugman's arguments suggest societal solutions can only come about when legislation to use his imaginary "wealth created by government" to be redistributed to the many victim groups created by the Mainstream Media of which Krugman has been called the most influential among liberals. which exist in an unjust America MATERIAL HAS BEEN MOVED---SHOULD ANY GO BACK HERE? You not only never see or touch your own money, you may not even think of it as yours. For decades a large majority of Americans have said they should pay no more a total of 20% for government The average of all Americans comes out to believing their total cost should be 16 % for the total cost of government, not the present 37%, soon to go much higher, in the absence of strong decisive action. BEFORE FDR, Federal Spending WAS LESS THAN 4%. Tied in directly to limiting yearly increases in the federal budget to national economic growth, would be the commitment to start taking less from each state. This is the intention and declaration of the Constitution. All power rests with the states except that specifically given “to the United States;” (tenth amendment) Let states make their own decisions on how and what to do with infrastructure, number of employees, priorities in education, how much to tax and spend. We must get back to the original Constitutional mandate to only involve the federal government in individual state affairs when absolutely necessary or to spend money only on projects that clearly benefit the nation as a whole. Those states that act responsibly with their own money will be glad to retain more of it at home, where they will use it much more efficiently. Wouldn’t this put Governors who ran against retaining more of their own money on the defensive forcing them to tell taxpayers they want to want to spend more in Washington, only to get less of it back? Of course, each state must pay its fair share for the national government. However the federal government is now absurdly involved unnecessarily into far too many areas and in an absurdly inefficient manner. Americans Have Always Believed In Paying Sufficient Taxes If Spent Properly For Decades They Have Said Taxes Are Much Higher Than They Should Be In January, 2005, President Bush appointed a blue ribbon panel of experts to analyze what is wrong with the tax code and to deliver to him a menu of tax reform options by the end of July. The results of our poll clearly show that Americans are ready for fundamental tax reform. Not surprisingly, then, we found that 77 percent of Americans said that the federal tax system should be completely overhauled or needs major changes. Just 18 percent said the tax system needs only minor changes or is fine the way it is. When people were asked to identify what the maximum percentage of a person’s income that should go to taxes, the average response was 16 percent. When we specifically asked people whether they would favor or oppose eliminating the Estate Tax, an overwhelming 68 percent favored elimination. Since 1947, the Gallop Organization has been asking Americans a standard question of whether they think their federal income taxes are too high, about right, or too low. We asked that question again this year and found that 55% of Americans think their taxes are too high, while 33% believe they are about right and just 2 percent believe they are too low. Many voters need to be aware of the shell game, which sends many billions to Washington, then returns a small portion of pork, to a favored few. This is what also requires a tremendously bloated workforce of 3 million federal workers, (before the $700 billion bailout and additional $1 trillion so-called stimulus package) adds hundreds of unnecessary and duplicative programs, which never die. This bloated workforce in turn, unnecessarily gives an elephantine $200-$300 billion in payroll and benefit costs, alone, to federal civilian employees, who now earn exactly double what private sector workers make. Congress itself has made it increasingly difficult for challengers to defeat incumbents. This plan (platform) Circumvents The Recalcitrance of the Entrenched Congress And Its Capability To Resist Change For The Better Getting Reelected-Has Taken Priority In Congress There is too much latitude for lying and virtually all Democrats lie when they talk about tax cuts. They either call welfare payments tax cuts or use false, deceptive, or misleading percentages We must start talking always about brackets, taxable income and what will be done with those brackets, but always will you reduce the present cost of government to the average tax payer as a % of GDP or will your policies make them go higher. Needs of America-Get No Priority-From Most In Congress. Congress’ Voting Record for Pork, Duplicative Programs, Hippie Museums In Their Home District, Bridges To Nowhere, Buildings Named After themselves and Untold Other Horrors of Waste, Reckless Spending and Redistribution, Proves it. Probably no more than 1 in 10 in congress, puts the needs of America above his/her reelection.
