ALBANY, N.Y. – They’ve been called Oreos, traitors and Uncle Toms, and are used to having to defend their values. Now black conservatives are really taking heat for their involvement in the mostly white tea party movement — and for having the audacity to oppose the policies of the nation’s first black president.

“I’ve been told I hate myself. I’ve been called an Uncle Tom. I’ve been told I’m a spook at the door,” said Timothy F. Johnson, chairman of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, a group of black conservatives who support free market principles and limited government.

But who exactly is it saying these things? Opponents to the Tea Party Movement thats who. In other words Liberal Democrats. You know the same people who refer to the white Tea Party patrons as Racists, Rednecks, Tea Baggers, Right-wing Domestic Terrorists…… this could become a long list so I will stop there. So if your a white tea partier, your a racist or some other name they dreamed up. If your a black tea partier your a traitor or an UncleTom, or a Spook at the Door (I’m not even sure what that means!) Sounds to me like they simply don’t like the Tea Party Movement.

You see race baiting hasn’t worked very well lately so now Liberals are mutating the concept and using it on the minority group itself. This tactic is far worse than calling a white man racist. They are now accusing black conservatives of being traitors to their own race. So isn’t it true that Liberals are the real racists here? They are widening the divide with these divisive statements of racism and now racism in reverse.

Angela McGlowan who is running for  the Misssissippi 1st Congressional District seat believes the tea party movement has been unfairly portrayed as monolithically white, male and middle-aged, though she acknowledged blacks and Hispanics are a minority at most events.

Of course they are minorities at these events, look at how they are treated by their peers if they show up and express their opinions at a Tea Party. They are called names and ridiculed.

Liberals claim that some of the black members of Congress were spat upon and called the “N” word; they have absolutely no proof that any one said that word. We are just supposed to take their word for it. The same way we are supposed to take their word for it that they read the HealthSCARE bill before voting on it and that they abide by the Constitution. The fact is that Andrew Breitbart, from Big Government.com has pledged $100,000 to anyone who can produce genuine proof of the use of the “N” word - Audio video or otherwise - and no one has come forward to claim the prize money yet. Doesn’t that seem odd to you? Unless of course its all a lie.

In fact it is my understanding that many black and hispanic tea partiers have not only been the victims of racial slurs from the left but also they have been spat upon by liberals as well. OK maybe I can’t really prove that happened but liberals can’t prove it didn’t happen. Now we can see how absurd the accusations are that all tea partiers are racists can’t we.

Members of Congress have an underground tunnel they can use to enter the Capitol Building through to avoid public ridicule and possible threats. They planned to walk into the belly of the beast in plain site expecting to find a throng of protesters that they could accuse of racism and other evils.

The real “traitors” in all of this are the name callers themselves. Minority tea partiers are not traitors to their race. They see themselves as Americans first and African-Americans second.  We are all living in the same country under the same government and as the Washingtards put it “political descent is the highest form of patriotism.” The Tea partiers are patriots the real traitors here are those who lie, ridicule, and admonish those who disagree with an out of control government.

It has always been my opinion that the biggest racists are the those who seek it around every corner and find it where it doesn’t exist. Those who are the first to point out the differences in ethnicity. Those who are the first to notice the skin color. I reject the terms African-American and Hispanic-American. I reject the term Irish-American or Asian-American. Are white people supposed to call themselves European-Americans? We are all Americans first and foremost. That is the only distinction that matters in this country were all men are created equal. It is those who segregate us into ethnic groups that are the real traitors; traitors to the most basic American value that all men are created equal. We as Americans shouldn’t even recognize these ethnic groups. It is unfortunate that our own government is a perpetrator of this backward thought process. The 2010 Census asked me if I was Black White Hispanic Asian etc. Why do they even care?

It’s a Cracked World when The President of the United States allows such rhetoric to continue without speaking out against such an abomination of basic American values.

As Speaker Pelosi put it we must pass this legislation so we can see what is in it. So lets see what we have found after two weeks.

Let’s look at the Aftermath of ObamaKare:

Just two weeks after the signing of the bill a litany of companies across the country have sounded off about the effects of the Health SCARE bill. It’s not pretty.

The bill takes away tax write offs given to companies who continue to fund select parts of their health care after retirement. This is a very costly expense that these corporations feel they must continue to fund in many cases out of loyalty to there retirees. The numbers are staggering.

• AT&T - $1 billion
• Boeing - $150 million
• Caterpillar - $100 million
• Deere & Co. - $90 million
• 3M - $90 million
• Verizon - $50 million
• Valero - $20 million

When confronted with this information Illinois Democrat Anthony Weiner was unsympathetic claiming that the repeal of the write off is not of consequence because the companies shouldn’t have to get a tax break to cover such expenses for their retirees.

Well Mr. Weiner that is your opinion but one thing that is an indisputable fact is that the added expenses of this Liberal Holy Grail will be passed on to the consumer in some way. This is how business works it is a fact that their expenses become our expenses (Just like Congresses).

Thanks Senator Weiner you really live up to your name.

Congressman Henry Waxman, (D) California, now wants the CEOs of the aforementioned companies to appear in Congress to testify to the validity of their statements. Proof that speaking out against the Presidents plans will land you in a modern day Spanish Inquisition. Waxman will wish the idea never entered his thick little head after all is said and done. These CEOs and business execs are bound by law to disclose this information to the SEC making it public knowledge. To neglect to do so would land them in prison. They will clearly have the data to support their claims and leave Waxman and his “Oboss” looking like idiots. Thanks for helping to get the truth out Henry.

Just two weeks later: Once again the Washingtards trample the 10^th amendment with the passage of this scourging of our economy. 15 states, including Indiana, Florida, Texas and Pennsylvania, are suing the Government over the Constitutionality of the health care bill. A total of 36 states are taking legal action of some form to resist the government take over. The uproar caused largely by the Government plan to force the American people to buy a specific product that must be approved by the government.

Just two weeks later: There is now an open door for the federal funding of abortions. Of course this is looked upon as a triumphant victory by the likes of Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D) of Michigan.

Just two weeks later: The federal government has a need for 16,000 new IRS agents to enforce the unconstitutional, 10^th amendment trampling, scourging of our rights to privacy as American citizens. Our medical records are going to be widely accessible by numerous government agencies in their efforts to determine your health care status.

Just two weeks later: Senator Tom Carper (D) Delaware clearly still has not read the bill he voted for. He insisted on, and got called out on, the statement that all members of Congress and White House Administration staffs will be bound to participate in the Health SCARE plan that Congress hid like a bitter pill in an apple so all of us mules would swallow it unknowingly.

It’s in the last 40 seconds of the video below

It didn’t work Varney & Company got to the bottom of it. Turns out that Republicans tried to push through an amendment in the Senate that WOULD require exactly that and the Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid tabled the amendment before it could be voted on. In fact this was done with EVERY Republican amendment offered when the Senate “fix it” bill was being voted on. So I ask you, now who’s the party of NO?

Two weeks later: Democrats now face threats of physical violence over health care vote. I don’t condone violence but these threats should send message to those who voted against the will of the people.

Two weeks later: The Medicus Firm a medical recruitment company, shows in their survey that over 45% of physicians said they’d quit or retire if ObamaKare were to pass. How do we cover 30 million new patients with only half the doctors? I’m glad this plan was so well thought out. Two weeks later: The student loans have been taken away from the private sector and now will be controlled completely by the federal government, save North Dakota, what is now being called the Bismarck Bank Job, is nothing more than another bribed vote. Surely Rep. Earl Pomeroy, and Sen. Kent Conrad. Had one of those back room meetings to work this one out. Marry Landrieu’s’ Louisiana Purchase has nothing on these to guys when it comes to getting the most out of your vote. What exactly does the student loans program have to do with the HealthSCARE plan? Well think about it they have to pay for it some how. Go explain to Berkley students why their student loan rates are going up and see if they burn some more houses down.

Two weeks later: Speaker Pelosi still claims that the HealthSCARE bill was crafted with full transparency. Apparently she was busy flying around on her private jet while all of the back room deals were being made. Though some of them were rescinded in the aftermath of outrage and anger, that doesn’t change the fact that the deals were made and added to the bill. The list of back room deals is long:

• The Louisiana Purchase
• The Cornhusker Kickback
• Gatoraid
• The U-Conn
• The Bismarck Bank Job

Did I miss any?

Two week later: I would venture to guess that Democrats don’t sleep well at night. They own this mess. Not a single Republican voted for it. Not a single Republican accepts it. This one can not be blamed on Bush or 8 years of bad policy. Vice President Joe Biden said that Obama’s presidency would be finished if they failed to push through the HealthSCARE bill. This recap of corruption and out right stupidity just scratches the surface of what is yet to be a revealed of a 2400 + page bill that no one attempted to read before voting for it. Now that the deed is done Obama’s presidency  may be finished.

The Washingtards have mandated that Health Care is a right. What other new rights will they mandate next?

The right to Child Care?

The right to Housing?

The right to higher education?

It’s a Cracked World when our nation’s law makers think we have a right to health care, yet we don’t have a right to life.

See for yourself, stupidity extraordinaire! At first glance I thought it was joke, a Jay Leno spoof perhaps but alas just another Washingtard roaming the halls of congress on the dime of the taxpayers.

After viewing this if your not asking the same questions I am there is a problem. How does an idiot like Hank Johnson get elected to the United States Congress? The answer: Cynthia McKinney, you may remember her, she accused the Federal Government of having advanced warning of the September 11th attacks claiming that George W. Bush was aware of the attacks and allowed them to happen so he could plunge America into war. Then there was the “issue” with her slapping a U.S. Capitol Police Officer.

It’s no wonder she wasn’t reelected but a shock that someone this Stupid was the winner in a run off election.

What? Does he think the Island of Guam is a floating land mass upon the surface of the water? Any 10 year old knows that isn’t true.

Now think about this. He’s a supporter of Global Warming and would more than likely refer to opponents of global warming (like myself) as “flat earthers.”  So…… he thinks it’s possible to “Capsize” an island yet verbally rebukes to the rest of us with the use of a term meant to describe us all as primitive believers of some mid-evil concept that the earth isn’t round?

Rep. Johnson was elected by the state of Georgia in the 2006 mid-term election that Democrats still brag about today as a stunning victory. Boy Georgians must feel really stupid about now. At least I hope they do.

One thing is for sure the next time I think about how our tax dollars are wasted I will have to consider more than just the ridiculous spending packages passed by Congress or the use of Airforce one so the president and his wife can go out on a date. I will have to consider also the idiots that we pay a congressional salary too as well. This man earns $174,000 annually like every other member of Congress and I wouldn’t let him walk my dog.

It’s a Cracked World when a member of The U.S. House of Representatives is NOT Smarter than a Fifth Grader!

Congress

One Bill to rule us all,
One Bill to find us,
One Bill to bring us all
and in the darkness bind us……

Sorry I couldn’t resist. This is what came to mind as I watched the Speaker of the House prance about with a giant gavel cradled in her arms. She was making her historic march to the Capital Building to vote for the government usurpation of what equals One Sixth of “Their” nations economy. I say to “THEIR nations economy” because; to the Democrats in Congress governing against the will of the people is their job. This particular breed of Wahingtard  believes that they know whats good for us better than we ourselves do. Therefore it’s their economy and their country not ours because the will of the people is no longer a matter worthy of consideration. I digress, Speaker Pelosi and her fellow Washingtards made their historic march in the midst of thousands of protesters chanting “Kill the Bill, Kill the Bill, Kill the Bill, Kill the Bill” uncaring. For they have transcended the will of the people. No longer do they need the acceptance of “We the People.”

Thousands in Washington and Millions at home looked on as this  flotsam and jetsam, (look it up), these pirates of the Constitution, usurped our Constitution of the freedoms and liberties bestowed within it; the supposed inalienable  rights of All Americans. I find it ironic that the Washington onlookers are commonly known to all as the Tea Party activists. It creates a powerful image in my mind when I think of a well known quote: “Those who fail to remember history are doomed to repeat it.” Ask yourself what followed the Boston Tea Party? Revolution that’s what; revolution  that perpetrated violence  against an oppressive government.

While Liberal Democrats taut their great victory over the will of the people from atop a pedestal upon which they believe themselves to be untouchable Republicans and Conservatives alike hear the soft whisper in the distance, a breeze from the heartland, a breeze recognized by all who are willing to listen as the winds of change soon to be sweeping through Washington to cleanse us of these corrupted bastard sons and daughters of our Constitution.

The Washingtards, blind to the cries of their constituents followed through with this abomination of law and claimed victory. But victory over whom? Over the Republicans? Over the so called Bluedog Democrats? No they claim victory over the American people! This is an issue far bigger than the petty differences of the mental midgets in Washington.

Welcome to the new world. Not discovered by Christopher Columbus, but created by Liberal Democrats in Washington so they may rule on high.

Not So Fast

Many governors of these United States are preparing already to challenge the Authority of Congress to pass such legislation onto each individual state and their citizens.

According to Foxnews:

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum also announced that he and top prosecutors from 10 other states are filing a lawsuit to “protect the rights” of the American people from the bill.

“The health care reform legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives this last night clearly violates the U.S. Constitution and infringes on each state’s sovereignty,” McCollum said in a statement.

Attention Washingtards read the Tenth Ammendment!

At least three dozen state legislatures are considering proposals to challenge the federal legislation. Some are pursuing amendments to their constitutions by ballot question; others are looking to change state law.

YES! What all this means is that Congress is breaking the law by passing this bill.

The president could put a stop to such a seizure of power simply by not signing the bill. We all know that won’t happen, it only proves that he is as guilty as those who passed this bill into law. His hands are dirty in this there is no one  else for him to blame he could simply refuse to sign it. By signing this bill he becomes a party to this crime against America.

If Congress is permitted to force the citizens of this country to buy insurance against there will whats next? The requirement to buy a MG car?

All in all the American people have the upper hand in this war on the Constitution. We hold the power to remove these destroyers of liberty from Congress. It is now up to the voters to do the job. November is coming up fast. Only We the People can take back our country before it becomes The Peoples Republic of Amerika.

It is time to take back America while it still exists in our hearts and minds. Lets Roll!

Congress makes it a Cracked World!

Charles Rangel of The House Ways of Thieves Committee

Charlie Rangel is back in the news again. Now for accepting trips to the Caribbean from a private corporation. This time he was forced out of his chairmanship of the House Ways and Means committee, which I have, rightfully so, called the House of the Ways of Thieves Committee. Of course Rangel is trying to “fake the high ground” according to him he has stepped down willfully to avoid undue embarrassment to his colleagues.

FoxNews has the skinny on Charlie and his “Gallantry”.

“I respectfully request a leave of absence from my duties and responsibilities as Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means until such time as the Committee on Standards completes findings on the review currently underway.”

House Speaker Pelosi said in a written statement she will “honor” the request. ”I commend Chairman Rangel for his decades of leadership on jobs, health care, and the most significant economic issues of the day,” she said.

Decades of leadership….. more like decades of thievery.

This is fitting; it’s a very liberal use of the term ‘Leadership‘ but of course this is a fine example of  ‘Honor Amongst Thieves‘.

So now he respectfully requests a leave of absence? What about the statement he made on March 2nd?

Rangel spent the last week defying calls for him to step down. He adamantly denied reports Tuesday that he was planning to step aside, telling reporters who asked whether he would stay in his position, “You bet your life on it. And I don’t lie to the press.”

It doesn’t say much for his moral standing does it? I have to wonder what his word is worth these days. He’ll need a Government bail out just to take his oath in court.

Obviously he Can’t Take the Heat so he’s getting out of the Kitchen. But he jump in the fire?

No doubt he read the writing on the walls when other Democrats started to call for his removal from his position of confidence. Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama and member of the Congressional Black Caucus made this statement:

“Representative Rangel has had a long and distinguished career and I respect his leadership. But I believe Congress needs to do more to restore the public trust. An Ethics Committee admonishment is a serious event and Representative Rangel should do the right thing and step aside as Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. I will consider returning the $1,000 contribution he made to my 2008 re-election campaign.”

Return his campaign contribution? Can you say running scared? He may as well be a Leper.

If this rebuke from his own party is any indication of the seriousness of the situation than I’d say Rep. Rangel is all but done; not just in The House Ways of Thieves Committee but possibly in Congress all together. Though Rangel has every intention of returning to his chairmanship after this political shit storm blows over, the Republicans want him permanently removed from the position. Most certainly something to become mid-term election fodder. Any one who wants to allow him to return will look as corrupt and untrustworthy as Rangel himself.

I can’t imagine anyone letting him return to the position let alone Congress. The way I see it he should be “getting to know” his new cell mate in a prison some where.

It’s a Cracked World and guys like Rangel are the ones that made it that way.

Still today Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Democrat from Nevada and Kentucky Senator Jim Bunning are embattled

Sen. Harry Reid

in debate over a seemingly routine bill to extend unemployment benefits. Of course we should all know by now that nothing about Congress - or any other WashingTARD - for that matter is routine or mundane.

The trouble began where the bill failed to pay for any of the provisions it institutes. There is no mention of how to pay for the $10 billion for unemployment benefit extensions.

Also wrapped up in this fun little package is funding for road and highway construction which Senator Reid claims employs a million people, I’m quite sure that Senator Reid’s estimations for the number employed by this plan are exaggerated like all the other jobs numbers the White House submits on it s Recovery.gov website.

And last but not least is the “DocFix” provision which would reduce the Medicare compensation for doctors by 21%. I believe without doubt that this is one of the bigger reasons for Sen. Bunning’s blocking of the bill. This is one major sticking point with Obamacare; the reduction of Medicare expenses by screwing over the very doctors that are supposed to give the care.

Sen. Bunning is of the inclination that the various provisions in the bill should be provided for. Pointing out that Sen. Reid and the Democrats had just recently pass the PayGO legislation and are already poised to break the very law they just passed; he called the Democrats Hypocrites. Asking, “Why would you vote for a bill you knew was not going to be honored,” he said. “Why vote for a bill you knew would be violated with the first vote?”

To that point Reid shot back stating that Bunning, who suddenly is concerned with “PayGo didn’t even vote for the PayGo measure in the first place. Nor was he concerned about paying for things when President George W. Bush engaged our nation in two unfunded wars and laid out tax cuts that weren’t paid for either.

I’m confused, Sen. Bunning wants to pay for all expenditures yet didn’t vote for the PayGo measure, and didn’t attempt to pay for numerous expenditures when those expenditures were his parties. While Sen. Reid doesn’t want to use the PayGo measure he recently voted for and criticized the Bunning for not supporting the PayGo measure that he now wants to throw out the window?

Now do you understand where my term Washingtards comes from?

Of course my solution would employ a little more common sense than the WashingTARDS can handle. These three separate issues should be addressed in separate bills. The “Piggybacking” of different unrelated issues on top of one another always creates more scrums than an AHL Hockey game.

This is situation where both men are fight and both men are wrong. There is NEVER a reason not to pay for the expenditures we incur. Though I see Sen. Bunning’s point why did he wait until the country is in such turmoil before deciding to get all “fiscal” on us? The answer is simple: Bunning isn’t running for reelection this fall. He doesn’t care who he pisses off!

Thanks a million…..I mean billion, Senator. You waited until things couldn’t get any worse before you decided to get all fiscal on us. Of course with your golden fleece pension, healthcare plan you won’t need to worry about where your next paycheck is coming from or what doctor is going to be willing to treat you after a 21% pay cut to Medicare you will never have to use.

Let’s not forget Sen. Reid in all of this either. He wasn’t worried about funding expenditures when the Stimulus was passed; or the Omnibus; or when Bush passed TARP either. Fiscal responsibility is just a talking point Reid is using because now more than ever the American people are worried about it and he is trailing by double digits in the Nevada senate race.

Both of these guys have been in Congress since 1986. Where has the fiscal responsibility for the last 25 years been? It is clear to me that their reelection is all that matters to them.

My questions are: How long will it take to move this through and have it paid for? And what will the consequences be if they don’t?

Oh what a Cracked World we live in.

They need to save us from ourselves. We are just too dumb to know whats good for us. After a year of the American people saying we don’t want what “THE WASHINGTARDS” are selling they are still trying to find a way to shove 2400 pages of legislation down our throats under the false illusion  that WE JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND.

Glenn Beck illustrates this as only he can in the below video clip from Foxnews. Beck gets a little goofy but he does drive the point home nicely. Stick with it he plays some nice footage of Valerie Jarrett trying to explain that the public was so drawn to the Hope and Change slogan because it was simple for us to understand after a man suggests that some booklets might spell things out to the American Idiots like those in the Tea Party movement.

Dr.O is so bright he sees his errors immediately……… ummmm OK I’ll ask: Whens he going to figure out that the people - The American Idiots, by steadily widening margins, don’t like his health care bill!??!

Of course this genius spent about six and a half hours today to discuss health care reform and in the end drew the conclusion that the disagreements out weigh the agreements; that the differences are irreconcilable; that the gaps can not be bridged.

Really!?!? I’d have never guessed that. It’s to be expected, idiots you know.

Bill Maher seems to have it figured out though; just don’t bother explaining it! Americans are too dumb to care or even notice. I would beg to differ, but what do I know I still believe in a higher being.

GEE I guess we’re condemned to stupidity. Never to know the burdens of superior intellect.

If Bill Maher and Barrack Obama posses superior intellect I’d rather be dumb.  Us useful idiots do serve one use, we get to choose if those with the superior intellect keep their jobs or not. So, do you think he sees that error?

Its a Cracked World!

That being said I happened across this and had to share…..

This Tim Hawkins guy is brilliant but the guy that invents a television that I can punch some one through will be a rich rich man…. at least until he pays his taxes.

What else is there to say Mr. Hawkins covered it all I think. Unless someone would like to point out any inaccuracies he may have made. But lets face it that would be a tough challenge. As you may notice this was about the government as a whole, not just Barack Obama or George W. Bush.

Yeah some of these guys in Washington show up with good intentions but, as the saying goes, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

Then there are the rest of Washington. I think Fred Thompson,the former Republican Senator from Tennessee, said it best: “Many politicians come to Washington with ideas of cleaning up the cesspool and finding a Hot tub.”

Thanks Fred I got a good laugh out of that. I haven’t followed his career in politics so I can’t say if he’s a hypocrite or not. If any one would like to enlighten me please do.

It just goes to show that politics CAN be funny! I hope you all think so too.

A bit of humor is needed in such a Cracked World.

The Mount Vernon Statement looks good on paper but is it real? Will the signers of this new declaration to return the will of the people to the people be beholden to this document as were the Founding Fathers were when they signed The Declaration of Independence? Or will this “Historic Document” merely go down in history as going down in flames?

Will the signers of this document walk the walk? Or is this just lip service to the Tea Party Movement?

The signing of the Declaration of Independence

Exactly what is it  that makes The Declaration of Independence so special, so important, of such great consequence? The consequence of course. The document itself - though the rallying cry of the ages and a symbol of our freedoms and liberties - is just ink on paper. Do not misunderstand. I am in no way shape or form trying to diminish the grandeur and importance of The Declaration of Independence. I am simply trying to say that it was the men who wrote it that make it so grand and important.

These men stood up against what they understood to be an oppressive governing body with much more than empty words. They believed their document to be much more than just ink on paper. They stood by their statement and were willing to sacrifice all that they held dear on this earth in hopes of a better tomorrow. If the revolution had failed they would have been tried for  treason and executed.

So what penalty will the men and women who have consigned themselves to this new statement suffer if it is just ink on paper? They may be humiliated in the press; They may be called names; Maybe even lose their jobs. Certainly not death or bodily harm

Clearly they have almost nothing to lose. They are humiliated, and called names on a daily basis now. And most are more than affluent in their lives anyway.

The comparison of the latter pales to the former; the stakes aren’t high enough to hold them to their statement.

Tea Party Power

The tea Party movement now in full swing is most certainly having its effect on the political landscape. Their cause is obvious; they want a return to a smaller government, to be held to their own self interests and not big brothers. Yet again - though honorable and patriotic as their intentions may be - they do not fear the consequences of The Founding Fathers.

They all assemble before the various government buildings in Washington armed with admonitory signs and snappy slogans and catchphrases - some angry mob. Afterward they go back to their daily lives hoping they made some lasting impression on the politicians hiding inside. With no worry of retribution they stuff their signs in the closet until the next big rally.

So what is my point in all of this? Do they have the will to see it through? What are they willing to sacrifice for their cause?

A new American Revolution?  I think not.

I support the Tea Party movement and I applaud the signers of The Mount Vernon Statement but I myself will be watching these people for sincerity. I also noticed that the Washington politicians haven’t lined up to sign this statement meant to  support of the very documents they took an oath to uphold.

It’s a Cracked World!

Taxes - The Four Letter Word

several four letter words that I can think of!

Tax is the grand plan in Washington, the American business owner has been confused with the ATM machine. Politicians will continue to spend and balance it all out with higher taxes on the rich. Taxing the rich means taxing the business owners. Correct me if I’m wrong but that means taxing the job providers. How can any one justify this?

Yeah yeah I know:

The Evil Corporate America dripping with greed; overflowing with apathy; rolling in money filthy. The financial embodiment of the spoils of treachery and oppression. I am familiar with the way the left and the unions view Corporate America.

Increasing taxes on the American economies life’s blood  is not the way to produce jobs in an economic recession rivaled, some say, only by The Great Depression. Nor is it fair or morally sound to expect the haves to pay for the short comings of the have-nots.  That’s Left Washington’s big plan, to increase taxes on the rich to bail out the federal governments entitlement programs and all its other uncontrollable spending.

But it’s not just the Evil Corporate America that will pay the price for Congressional indiscretion. It is becoming more and more evident that Dr.O is planning on increasing taxes on the middle-class as well. No he won’t come out and say it yet but if it’s on the table as he says it is you can bet your bottom dollar that they will.

Think about people, what happens to us if you spend more than you make? You find yourself in debt and struggle to pay off that debt.

Congress doesn’t want to do that! They don’t want to make good on their debts. (I say THEIR debts because they are the ones who over spent, not me). Whats worse Congress hasn’t just racked up debt. They have racked up so much debt that by 2011 that level of debt will be equal to GDP -  Gross Domestic Product. In other words they won’t JUST be spending more than they take in. America’s total amount of debt will be equal to what they take in.

Tax may be a four letter word but it is really they only solution to paying for their irresponsibility. Of course that alone will not solve the problem. They need to STOP spending! Congress seems to increase the debt ceiling with every tax increase. By-the-way what is the point in having a debt ceiling when Congress can raise that ceiling at will? I think I’ll tell my wife that I want a new truck so we are going to overspend some more to cover the expense. NOT!

These people are out of touch. Not just out of touch with we the people but out of touch with reality.

In any balance sheet no matter how big or small incoming is supposed to be equal to outgoing. Money left over in incoming is called a surplus. Now there’s a word they haven’t heard in a long time.

It’s a Cracked World when those who are in charge of the stewardship of our economy don’t understand the most basic concepts of accounting.
