Let’s Take Our Country Back

OK EVERYBODY!  THIS IS IT!

SOMEONE HAS FINALLY COME UP WITH AN ANSWER TO SAVE US ALL!

I received an email today. And the suggestions in this email are so simple that they are unbelievable. Just read on and see for yourself.

The email says the entire Congress of the United States is corrupt. And that means both Houses and both major parties. A few Members of each House are trustworthy, but as a group, they are absolutely the most corrupt bunch to ever disgrace our Nation.

In November of 2010, the entire House of Representatives will stand for re-election, all 435 of them. One third of the Senate, a total of 33 of them will also stand for re-election.

VOTE EVERY SINGLE INCUMBENT OUT OF OFFICE!

THAT’S IT!!!!  THAT’S THE WHOLE PLAN!!!

AND SO SIMPLE AS TO BE UNBELIEVABLE.  HOORAY!!!!!!!!!

Let’s start over in the House of Representatives with 435 people who have absolutely no experience in running that body, with no political favors owed to anyone but their own constituents. Let’s make them understand that they work for US. They answer to US and they simply have to run that body with some common sense. Good Grief! They might even have to work.  And they will certainly have to please US, their constituents. Why, they might even start listening to what we have to say.

Two years later, in 2012, vote the next third of the incumbents in the Senate right out the door. Then, we can do the same thing in 2014 and by that time, we will have put in all new people to run OUR COUNTRY, the way it should be run.

We, the People, have got to take our Country back and we HAVE to do it peacefully.  That’s what our Forefathers envisioned when they wrote the Constitution for us all.

So remember when you vote in 2010, 2012 and 2014. VOTE THE INCUMBENTS OUT. PERIOD. THAT IS ALL YOU HAVE TO DO. JUST REMEMBER TO VOTE NEW PEOPLE IN AND TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!!!!

TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, AND RELATIVES.

Bonds and Taxes

Another interference into the life of the individual in these United States of America. I was told only yesterday that the government, meaning the liberal Democrats, have devised another new tax system. The average American thinks that streets and sewers and schools built in this country are paid for by their tax dollars. This is not true. Those new city and county and state projects are paid for with bonds. The city or county or state or schools or whatever is needed issue bonds in the amounts that they need to get their construction under way. These bonds are put out for the public to buy at an interest rate that will attract buyers. In effect, they are borrowing money from the investors to pay for these projects. The life of these bonds can vary from a few years to up to about 30 years. The interest rates are not generally very high, but they are usually issued as ‘tax free bonds’. This is what draws the taxpayer to purchase these bonds. Because he can draw interest every six months for the life of the bond or until the bond is called. And he does not have to pay tax on this interest. If the municipality or school or college is able to pay off the bonds earlier than their life, then the bond will be called and the taxpayer gets his investment (loan) back. The taxpayer can buy bonds that are rated very highly, meaning you are almost assured of getting your money returned to you, or they can take more risk, usually for higher interest rates, gambling on whether or not they will get their full return back.

This method of taxpayer funding for municipalities and schools has been around a long time. It has worked for many years. People want to invest their money where they can make enough to pay for their investment. Remember, when a bond is purchased, that money is not in your pocket and you do not have it to spend for a few years or up to 30 years. So you cannot risk buying bonds if you are not sure you can do without the money for a long time. But the municipalities are willing to pay enough tax free interest to attract a myriad of buyers. This tax free interest is very, very important to the progress of municipalities in these United States.

So now, the liberal Democrats have devised a new method for paying for these bonds. They have put out the word to municipalities that if they will put their bonds out for sale and not make them tax free, the government will pay up to 35% of the interest due on the bonds. How’s that for getting into your back pocket without anyone knowing about this. The usual hidden agenda. And this will eventually kill the tax free bond market. The funds will dry up and people will not invest in the building of new streets or schools or sewers of the city or the county or the state. So who will win in this situation. Certainly not the investor. And not the general public because they will be without those much needed services. And the bond seller won’t win either as he will lose most of his business. But the most important part is that the person who will eventually lose in this endeavor is the average, every day taxpayer. Because he will no longer have the services he is entitled to. He will not have the new schools for his children nor the new streets in his town nor the new sewer and water lines that his town and county are depending upon for their expansion. But he will get to pay more in hometown taxes than he ever has before. Because someone will have to pay to have the old streets fixed and to have the old schools renovated and to have the old water and sewer systems upgraded so that everyone won’t get sick. So who has won in this? Of course, as usual, the liberal Democrats, the so-called Government of today. They will have destroyed another entity of this country of ours. They will have once again brought about the change they talk about which is only hurtful to everyone except them.

I remember when Stalin was powerful and how they said only a handful of people benefitted from progress in Russia – of which there was very little. Only a handful of people lived a really good life with homes on the sea and servants and automobiles and schools for their children. That is where this liberal Democrat Congress is leading our country. To where only THEY will benefit. The rest of the country does not count. Just ask Obama and Nancy Pelosi and they will probably tell you just this – it is their country. They have been waiting a long time to change it the way they want it to be.

Vote Republican as soon as you can.

HR 2454 a.k.a. Cap and Trade

( Cap and Tax  -  Part 2)

Getting back to the Cap and Trade Bill, this is designed to make each company create a certain ‘cap’ on their maximum amount of carbon dioxide emissions. This cap is based on a measured baseline amount. And each one of these companies is given a set amount of emission credits. (Wonder who set the emission credit level? I’ll just bet it was another one of those Democratic liberals). And so then the company must make sure they do not exceed the set amount they are credited with. If they do, they must purchase or ‘trade’ credits with other companies that have extra credits.

First of all, this will turn out to be quite an expensive endeavor for each and every one of the companies that provide us with energy. Therefore, all energy costs will rise. This will make a great impact on all the people of this country, the rich and the poor. It will mean all of their energy costs will rise. In fact, it could cause as much as a 20 percent increase in electric costs almost immediately. And by 2030, there will be a 250 percent increase at the retail level. This is already known and attested to. And here we are in 2009. That means that it will probably increase twice that much by the year 2030.  Who is it that makes up all this drivel that we all have to live with? What is going on in this world that we, as citizens of the United States, seem to have nothing to say about any of the bills that are being rammed through Congress with this new administration? Better vote Republican as soon as you possibly can.

Remember Jimmy Carter’s Dept of Energy and the exorbitant costs to run that bureaucratic mess.  This Cap and Trade bill will probably force the government to have a whole new department which should cost  billions to run.  Just like Jimmy Carter’s Department does today.

Meanwhile, contact any of your Senators and Representatives.  Tell them you don’t want this Cap and Trade bill.  Now that you know what it is.  I don’t think THEY – the liberal Democrats – want any of us to know what is actually in the bill or what it will cost.   All the energy companies are opposed to this bill.  They will be forced to charge more for their services.  Or go out of business.  And no one wants that to happen.  We need them.  We need the energy for this growing country.  And we don’t need the Democrats who always tax and spend.  Remember the old adage, ‘give them an inch and they will take a mile.’  The Democrats certainly fit that niche.

Once Again, Another Bright Idea?

(Cap and Tax –  Part 1)

Well, you’ve heard it said, ‘give them and inch and they will take a mile.’ Certainly true of the Democrats these days.

I’m sure you have heard of the Cap and Trade bill which has been proposed  by President Obama. It is also known as the Waxman-Markey Bill, and it forces companies in the United States to limit carbon dioxide emissions. In the first place, whose idea is this? Some egotistical, always right person who thinks they know what is best for all of us – as usual. I see nothing wrong with our world today. I think I must have a completely different outlook towards this planet we live on than the outlook any of the Democrats have. It is my assumption that this is God’s planet. It is God’s world. It is not our world. We are not in charge here. Like it or not, God will take care of his world. God knows we drive cars and He knows we have electricity and He understands we heat out homes and use the water for our lawns and all those things that we, as human beings do, every single day. This is what God expects us to do. He knows about every single thing that has ever been invented, patented, or used. And He will take care of this world just fine without a lot of help from all these Democratic liberals who think only THEY know what is best for all the rest of us.

The Big Squeeze

What’s with the whiz kids in Washington these days? First of all, we heard back in election time how the middle class would never see a tax raise if they just voted for the Democrats. Now we are hearing that well, maybe, just possibly, we might just have to raise those taxes just a teeny, tiny bit. Just watch that one! And of course, they are still blaming the previous Republican administration for all their problems. Looks like they would get over that  pretty soon. They have now been in office almost  a year and haven’t made a dent in anything yet. Everything is much worse than it was when they took office and only they can take full responsibility for their screwups.

Now they are making appearances on all the Sunday talk shows and talking of broad based tax increases because of the higher government spending programs which THEY say we MUST have.

Personally, I don’t think we need any more higher government spending programs for anything, anywhere, anytime. I am from the old school that says ‘give us back our tax money’  ’Lower our taxes’  Let us spend our money as we see fit. Quit giving all the money to those who will not work and have no intention of ever working.

It is time to cut out the government spending spree and get down to business. Cut and cut some more. Quit spending OUR money.

After World War II, we faced an overwhelming amount of debt because of the expenses of the War. The government slashed all expenditures and within two years, Washington was spending less than it took in. Inflation also helped by reducing the real value of the debt. But the point is that we got out of debt. We did it! We can do it again with the right leadership.

Be sure and vote Republican next time!

Do you know where our taxes are going?

We pay taxes and pay them some more. Do you really know where your tax dollars go? I don’t think I know much about it, but I do try to keep up.

For instance, do you know that it cost $1,259,000+ to pay for all the people who assist Michelle Obama in her position as First Lady? This pays for those who keep her calendar, her clothing, and her wishes satisfied. How about that!

And money goes every day to pay for our Medicare and Medicaid bills. But did you also know that you pay in well over enough to suffice to pay for your own care? I know I pay a hefty amount out of my Social Security check each and every month to pay for my Medicare. Doesn’t everyone do the same? So where is all the extra money going. I know I am not collecting all the time. Are you?

And yet the government is collecting from me all the time.

I am definitely for Medicaid helping those who honestly cannot help themselves. I see people all the time who actually do need the help. But I do not think Medicaid money should be used to pay for those who can pay for themselves.

For instance, in our community we have what is called a Community Care Clinic. Doctors, Nurses, Dentists, and all sorts of Technicians donate their time and expertise to give free medical care to all in the community who cannot afford to pay for themselves. The patients have to prove that they have no means of income and cannot provide insurance for themselves. And that they are legal citizens. Then they are eligible for the free care. All ages are treated with dignity and kindness while at the Clinic. All of the medical drugs used are donated by the drug companies. All the staffing is done by volunteers. All the paperwork and computer work is donated by volunteers. Even the pastoral care is donated by local clergy. It is truly a free Clinic for all those who cannot care for themselves. And it costs the government absolutely zero. Nothing. Nada. Why can’t we have such clinics all over the country. I am sure there are those volunteers who are willing to set up, man, and provide help in every community in this wonderful country. Why is no one talking about these kinds of services instead of the over-priced government handouts.

The Health Care Reform promoters are saying that 40 Million people do not have any insurance. Do you know that they are including all the illegal aliens in this figure? Do you want to pay for free health care for them? I don’t.

Also, do you realize that your tax dollars go to provide abortions? Planned Parenthood uses $350 MILLION of your tax dollars to provide such abortions all over the country. And they stand to make at least $85 MILLION in profit. They use your tax dollars to slaughter 305,310 innocent babies. How do you feel about that one? Contact American Life League for any details.  www.all.org

And I heard just tonight on the television that the Secretary of Health is now talking of killing off some babies under the age of 2 because they are not socially acclimated. Sounds like something out of Herod’s time doesn’t it. Or perhaps Hitler’s time. And of course this service would be provided free I’m sure.

Let your Senators and Representatives know where you stand on these issues. Let them hear from you. I faxed all of mine today. I wrote some on the email. Did you? Look up their contact numbers and let them hear from you right now. They need to know where you stand on all the issues today.

Protect your tax dollars. It takes a lot of hard work to make them.
