Maxine Waters?

Hmmmm!
According to this piece in LA Now
"Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles) came out swinging against Republicans in Congress on Saturday as she addressed the unemployed during a forum in Inglewood.

The event occurred a day after new statistics were released showing that California's jobless rate last month went up to 12%, from 11.8%. California now has the second-highest rate of unemployment in the nation, trailing only Nevada at 12.9%, and its jobless rate is well above the U.S. average of 9.1%.

Waters vowed to push Congress to focus on creating more jobs. "I'm not afraid of anybody," said Waters. "This is a tough game. You can't be intimidated. You can't be frightened. And as far as I'm concerned, the 'tea party' can go straight to hell."

More than 1,000 people attended "Kitchen Table Summit," which was designed to give the jobless an opportunity to vent to elected officials and share their struggles about finding a job.

KABC-TV quoted speakers talking about living without medical insurance and surviving paycheck to paycheck.

"Thank God I am healthy because a medical illness would bankrupt me," said Regina Davis of Inglewood.

Congresswomen Laura Richardson and Karen Bass also attended. Several people urged the representatives to push for a national jobs program.

According to the Employment Development Department, California employers added just 4,500 new jobs last month, a steep drop from the revised 30,400 jobs added in June."

The modern-day Tea Party movement started on an idea of bringing back responsible government and opposing taxation without representation has been maligned and cursed by those who love the status quo.

Despite a maximum effort to stay far away from any type of racial prejudice and the fact that a number of conservative black leaders belong to the movement liberals such as Waters and Charlie Rangel still portray it as a bunch of white bigots.

Hmmm! Tell that to Kenneth Gladney here who is being kissed by a white man!

Recall please that Gladney was beaten by union thugs for selling flags from his wheelchair at a Tea Party type event!

Hmmm! This type of give the people more government jobs while killing small business with taxes and regulation is what has killed California's economic situation and continues to do so!

Entire dairy operations have picked up and moved out of that state into Texas.

And this silly, ignorant dingbat gets elected again and again!

Don't do what I do, do what I say do! Peasant!

Remember folks, this is the guy who wanted to be president! His party leaders said it's patriotic to pay higher taxes!

BOSTON (AP) -- "Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry is docking his family's new $7 million yacht in neighboring Rhode Island, allowing him to avoid paying roughly $500,000 in taxes to the cash-strapped Bay State.

If the "Isabel" were kept at the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee's summer vacation home on Nantucket, or in Boston Harbor near his city residence, he would be liable for $437,500 in one-time sales tax. He would also have to pay $70,000 in annual excise taxes.

Rhode Island repealed those taxes in 1993. That has made the state something of a nautical tax haven.

Kerry spokesman David Wade said Friday the boat is being kept at Newport Shipyard not to evade taxes, but "for long-term maintenance, upkeep and charter purposes."

Wade noted the vessel was designed by Rhode Island boat designer Ted Fontaine and purchased in the state. It was built in New Zealand by Friendship Yachts.

A Department of Revenue spokesman said Kerry would be liable for Massachusetts taxes if he berthed the boat in the Bay State within six months of its purchase. If the "Isabel" were brought to Massachusetts after that period, the state would have to decide if it wanted to pursue the taxes.

Massachusetts, like most other states, has been grappling with plunging tax revenues. Last year's budget decifict was $600 million, and officials are bracing for a $1 billion deficit this year."

This is an example of democrat politics! And the republicans are almost as bad!

However, if we speak up we are silenced by the elite bullies in the media!

I was surprised to see the ultra-liberal Huffington Post ran this story!

People! This was NOT a gaffe!

Biden Calls Custard Shop Manager a 'Smartass' After Taxes Comment

Published June 27, 2010
| FOXNews.com


Vice President Biden is shown speaking with the manager of Kopp’s Frozen Custard in Milwaukee, Wis. (WISN)
"Vice President Biden called the manager of a custard shop outside of Milwaukee, Wis., a "smartass" after the man asked him to lower taxes.

Biden made the comment Friday after the Kopp’s Frozen Custard shop manager told him that his dessert would be on the house if he lowered taxes.

"What do we owe you?" Biden is heard saying in footage captured by WISN-TV.

"Don’t worry, it’s on us," the manager replied. "Lower our taxes and we’ll call it [the custard] even."

"Why don’t you say something nice instead of being a smartass all the time?" Biden said a few minutes later.

Biden had walked in to Kopp’s mistakenly asking for ice cream instead of custard.

The manager said later in an interview with WISN that he thought Biden didn’t seem happy initially about the taxes comment, but that the vice president later whispered that he was just kidding.

Biden was in Wisconsin to hit the campaign trail with Democratic Senator Russ Feingold. Just days earlier, the vice president told a crowd of Feingold’s supporters gathered at a fund-raising event that "there’s no possibility to restore the 8 million jobs lost in the Great Recession."

He then added that he and the current administration "inherited a god-awful mess."

After he wraps up his time with Feingold, Biden will visit the Gulf Coast on Tuesday to survey the damage caused by the BP oil spill."

If anyone from the peasant masses dares to speak up or stand up to this administration you will be attacked!

Ask Kenneth Gladney, the wheel chair bound black man attacked by the Obama administration's union thugs!

Just ask Joe "the plumber" who was investigated for challenging the Obama tax policy!

If you are not part of the educated, secular progressive, elite you shall sit down and be quiet!

You shall not insist on truth or you shall be banned from the ONNs(Obama News Networks/ABC, NBC, CBS & CNN)
Be silent peasant! Serve me and shut up!

This is the general attitude, not just an isolated gaffe, of the democrat party in general! And the republican heirarchy too for that matter!

If you insist on speaking up and demanding the truth you'll end up just like me! Banned from the Victoria Advocate! Chuckle! And I wear that badge with particular honor!

Permission!

Your son walks into the living room and asks for permission to put some foam matting up in the storage shed so he and his band can practice there. You tell him it will cost him $300 for a permit which will go into your pocket!

Uh, what?

Excuse me!

What?

The governor of Louisana asked for permission from the federal government to build 12 barriers so the oil from the BP spill wouldn't get into the inland marshes where the spawning grounds for thier seafood industry are. The federal government said they could only build less than half of that and that they would pay for only one!

Uh, what?

Excuse me!

What?

Build the barriers and if the federal government has a problem with that tell them to go away, get out of the way and stay away!

You see I have a problem with this whole permission thing! Both the state and federal government have this thing about selling permission to do stuff, not so much in order to regulate but to bring in revenue!

If I have wildlife eating my crops...uh, crops that feed myself and other PEOPLE, I need to give the state money for a permit to protect my crops and thus my income and my food! AND THEN, I am told I must leave that deer laying on the ground to rot and feed the buzzards!

Not only does this NOT make common sense but someone please explain to me where it's even constitutional!

Permission from the government!

The founding fathers of this country and, I'd go so far as to say of this state, would roll over in their graves if they knew to what degree our freedom to protect our own property has erroded!

And it's all about revenue! You must pay for permission to drive on the highways your own taxdollars build and maintain and then the state of Texas SELLS BOTH YOUR DRIVING RECORDS, PERSONAL INFORMATION, DEMOGRAPHICS AND ALL CRIMINAL RECORDS TO ANYONE WITH MONEY!

And in 2005 the state of Texas made over $58 million selling those records even though they admitted in a Wired Magazine article that up to 29% of those records are incorrect or out of date!

Permission from government!

Follow the money!

'Cause it's all about the money!

A man goes fishing. He pulls his boat to the coast to take his son fishing! He has to buy tags for his truck, the boat and the trailer. The gas for the truck and boat are taxed. He has to buy a license for he and his son to fish. He pays both a sales tax and a special tax on the motor oil for both the boat and his truck.

He pays sales tax on the purchase of the truch and the boat. He pays a sales tax on the soda pop and ice in the ice chest and a sales tax on the ice chest!

Everything this man does on this trip is taxed from the clothes he and his son wear to the sunscreen to the mosquito repellent and fish hooks!

The boating safety course he paid for and the hunting and fishing safety courses have to be paid for. The instructor who teaches those courses has to take and pay for a course to be able to charge to teach those courses!

The government is everywhere in this trip demanding a cut! A cut of what? A cut of the few fish this father and son are bringing home? Hmmm! Perhaps someone could break down the actual cost, per ounce of those fish!

Paying the government for permission!

Now are some of these taxes-these paid-for permissions necessary? Perhaps, but did we ever envision it would come to this?

I think not!

And HOW did it come to this? Hmmm! Could it be because WE ASKED FOR PERMISSION TO BEGIN WITH?

Not one dime!

That's what our president promised when he was on the campaign trail. If you make less than $250,000 per year you could expect "not one dime" in new taxes!

And yet under HR3590 we see:
H.R.3590
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Enrolled as Agreed to or Passed by Both House and Senate)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



"SEC. 9002. INCLUSION OF COST OF EMPLOYER-SPONSORED HEALTH COVERAGE ON W-2.

(a) In General- Section 6051(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (relating to receipts for employees) is amended by striking `and' at the end of paragraph (12), by striking the period at the end of paragraph (13) and inserting `, and', and by adding after paragraph (13) the following new paragraph:

`(14) the aggregate cost (determined under rules similar to the rules of section 4980B(f)(4)) of applicable employer-sponsored coverage (as defined in section 4980I(d)(1)), except that this paragraph shall not apply to--

`(A) coverage to which paragraphs (11) and (12) apply, or

`(B) the amount of any salary reduction contributions to a flexible spending arrangement (within the meaning of section 125).'.

(b) Effective Date- The amendments made by this section shall apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010."

Hmmm! Why would the government want our insurance benefits listed on our W-2 forms as income?

Oops! Go to www.thomas.gov and enter HR 3590 and see for yourself. This is the website of the Library of Congress.

My mother got a notice in the mail from our electric cooperative saying that if the Cap & Trade bill passed she could expect a $100 surcharge on her bill since part of her electricity comes from a coal-fired power plant.

Not one dime? That IS what he said isn't it?

Now I have a question; since all businesses, large and small, use electricity, what will the Cap & Trade tax do the cost of the items I buy every day?

Not one dime! That's what he said!
