How TAX is a Four Letter Word

Trust me I can count! Of course the kooks in Washington are counting on the contrary. Tax is synonymous with a

Taxes - The Four Letter Word

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.

Republicans Chide House Rep. Charles Rangel

Politics, Uncategorized | Posted by C.C.Mitchell
Oct 07 2009

Today House Republicans sent a message to Rep. Charlie Rangel a Democrat from New York. Essentially stating they want you out. It appears that the 40 year veteran of Congress, and longtime chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee can’t manage to abide by the very laws he helps to write.

Today House Republicans tried to pass a resolution to remove Congressman Rangel from his chairmanship following a long dingy laundry list of wrongdoing. Of course House Democrats quickly put down the effort to remove the embattled congressman in a brazen show of partisanship and zero regard for the taxpayers who vote them into office.

So much for transparency huh Speaker Pelosi! What happened to draining the swamp? What happened to the most open and ethical Congress in history? Just check with The Moderate Voice for Nazi Pelosi’s standing on the issue.

Charles Rangel - Chairman of House Ways and Theives Committee

It’s not difficult to see why Rangel doesn’t want to lose his position as chairman of the House ways of THIEVES Committee. Quite obviously it lends itself well to tax evasion, and other forms of fraud.

Why other House Democrats aren’t trying to distance themselves from the congressman is beyond me when you consider their reaction inside the halls of Congress to the recently unveiled scandal of ACORN. Speaking of which, I’m sure by now Congressman Rangel has informed all of his staffers and aides not to speak with any pimps prostitutes or other nefarious looking characters.

Charlie Rangel is serving the House of Representatives for 40 years, here is a list of things he will undoubtedly be remembered for the most:

  • A failure to report $3 million in business transactions from 2002 to 2006.
  • A failure to disclose $1.3 million in outside income from 2002 to 2006.
  • The undervaluing of his assets by $780,000 in 2007.
  • The refusal to reveal a bank account valued at $500,000.
  • The refusal to list the sale of a Harlem brownstone in 2004.

I must say that’s not what I want to go down in history for after 40 years of public service.

To add insult to injury Foxnews recently reported:

In June 2009, the House Ethics Subcommittee opened a probe of Rangel’s trips to conferences in the Caribbean, and in August Rangel disclosed more than $500,000 in previously unreported assets.

“These are glaring tax violations and he has paid no penalties or interest,” said John Stone, a spokesman for Rep. John Carter, R-Texas, who is leading the effort to oust Rangel from his post.

For a much deeper analysis Michelle Malkin has the skinny.

Congressman Rangel has screwed the citizens of New York so badly for so long they need their own support group. They need a special place in prison for people like him. I like to think Hell already has one.

What can I say it’s got Cracked World when lawmakers help lawmakers break the law.

Obama Cuts $100 Million From Budget

Obamanomics

Obamanomics

Today President Obama asked his Cabinet members to trim some fat off the pudgy budget passed a few short weeks ago. Perhaps he is having a change of heart about his stifling tax and spend tactic. Not so fast! The President asked officials to cut $100 million from the budget. This is like a cruel joke on tax payers.

At first I thought maybe President Obama heard the rallying cries of Tea Partiers across the nation last week, and decided to appease them the way he does all of our international opponents with a spending cut. Upon reading further into the request it became obvious that this was not the case. He was busy listening to leaders of foreign countries and apologizing for America being America; but he didn’t listen to his own people and apologize for wasting tax payers’ money.

The Planned Budget Cuts

FoxNews Provided a list of budget cuts that Obama claims will lead to fiscal responsibility:

  • The Veterans Affairs department has canceled or delayed 26 conferences, projected to save nearly $17.8 million. The department will be using less expensive alternatives as well, like video conferencing.
  • The Department of Agriculture is working to combine 1,500 employees from seven office locations into a single facility in 2011 — expected to save $62 million over a 15-year lease term.
  • The Department of Homeland Security estimates it can save up to $52 million over five years by purchasing office supplies in bulk. It also estimates it can save $3 million by ending consulting contracts to create new seals and logos.
  • Both the Department of Justice and State Department propose going paperless with specific programs. Doing so is projected to save $6.7 million on the Justice side over five years, and $1 million on the State side in the first year.
  • The Department of Education expects to save $2 million annually by reducing the number of computers provided to staff.

This is a half-hearted attempt at best, to make it look like he cares about saving the tax payers’ hard earned money. Whats more he gave his department heads 90 days to make a collective $100 million in budget cuts. He didn’t give GM 90 days to save billions and avoid bankruptcy.

The meager $100 million in budget cuts doesn’t even scratch the surface of what a real budget cut would look like.

House Minority Leader John Boehner

House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio pointed out that $100 million in cuts would amount to just 0.0025% of total federal spending for fiscal 2009, expected to reach $4 trillion. The Wall Street Journal pointed out that the federal government spends $100 million about every 13 minutes.

In short, cutting $100 million from a $4 trillion spending budget is like emptying removing one Tea spoon of water from an ocean.

As a tax payer I consider his budget cuts to be a huge slap in the face.

Mr. Obama campaigned last fall that he would bring change to Washington, what he didn’t say was that it would be pocket change.

It’s a Cracked World!

CNN Crashes the Tea Party

Politics | Posted by C.C.Mitchell
Apr 17 2009

Wednesday April 15th, Tea partiers across the nation gathered to speak out in one resounding voice, that taxes are too high, and so is the spending. The Tax day Tea Party may well become an annual event and I expect it to grow in popularity each year until the issues in protest are addressed.

Much in response to President Obamas’ “uber spending” and budgetary insanity. People gathered in over 250 locations across America in all 50 states to protest the mishandling of tax payer dollars. Specifically the Bush bank bailouts (its not all about Obama), The nearly $800 billion Stimulus Package laden with pork, and the $3.6 trillion budget for 2010. I have seen signs as well condemning the siezure of private companies, and a brilliant one that said, “America isn’t broken FIX Congress!”

Despite the huge turn outs that saw many political pundits and radio personalities such as Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, and Glen Beck. Even Ted Nugent showed up, guitar in hand. All to cover the story, or in Teds case to entertain some REAL Americans. Of course the Liberal Powers-that-be, most notably CNN (Communist Network News), sent out their smear machine on the public. CNN sent out so called reporter Susan Roesgen to offend them all.

Check out the Youtube below.

What does this have to do with Taxes?!?

Is she nuts, or just stupid?

This man is obviously smart enough to know that his “$400 tax credit” will be eclipsed ten fold by the taxes he will submit for the rest of his life to pay for the stupidity of Congress.

Anti-government– NO!

Anti-Fascist Congress –YES!

I seen no signs that said down with CNN so I’m not sure how it was Anti-CNN

This kind of journalistic vomit is the worst that the media has to offer. She not only rudely interrupted some one who was trying to answer a question she asked, but than accused Rightwing organizations and FOXNews of arranging all of the tea parties.

OK put on the breaks! Just a moment here.  If the Rightwing party organizations, Those EVIL republicans and Foxnews were behind it all they would have had the proper permits needed to assemble which in some areas of the country they didn’t.

Get a clue Susan you have to let people answer the questions you ask if you want to be considered a journalist. If your disappointed that the Tax Protesters were not the hey seed hicks you expected from those who think to the right than don’t ask them questions.

If you listen closely you can hear people telling her to “shut up.”

I don’t ever recall this kind of treatment for Cindy Sheehan when she protested the Iraq War. Where the hell was CNN and Susan Roesgen then?

Where was she when those sick bastards were protesting outside the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq?

Why is it that when Liberals protest its freedom of speech and when conservatives do it its just Hate speech?

Its a Cracked World!
