Value Added Tax and Imflammatory Speech

April 24, 2010

 Sent to Obama, Pelosi, Bishop, Reid, Schumer, Gillibrand, Holder

 
Value Added Tax

Halloween images are appropriate for what you're doing to the American public with your unrestrained spending and taxing.  Like the vampire, you seem to be addicted to sucking the blood of our lives through taxes.  Because of you, our children and grand children will be denied the same prosperity that we enjoy.

You've lost touch!  Obama, Reid and Pelosi are millionaires.  Your salaries are way beyond the average American – Obama, $374,460; Reid. $193,400; Pelosi, $223,500; Bishop, Gillibrand and Schumer, $174,000 each.  Your lifetime pensions are more generous than most of the people who pay your salaries.

Now you're floating the idea of a Value Added Tax.  That would be a disaster.

Now that may not be a lot to you fat-cat Washington politicians with your exorbitant salaries, outlandish perquisites and retirement benefits but it sure is a lot to a parent struggling to keep the kids clothed and fed. 

I wonder why you would trade the opportunities that we have for the subsistence levels of the socialist countries where the common man is reduced to depending on government handouts.  America was built on and defended free-market principles where a person with an idea and hard work could make a fortune.

Inflammatory Speech

Bertha Lewis, CEO of Acorn – a close ally of candidate Barack Obama – said, at the Winter Conference of the Young Democratic Socialists on March 25, 2010, "We are living in a time which is going to dwarf … the internment during World War II … the era of Jim Crow and segregation … They are coming and they are coming after you and they are going to be brutal and oppressive."  http://biggovernment.com/amarcus/2010/04/22/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-recent-bertha-lewis-acorn-rant/

Maybe you should tell Bertha Lewis that Presidents Wilson and Roosevelt, two Democrats, interned innocent Americans.  Maybe you should tell her that it was Southern Democrats who fought to protect segregation and Jim Crow laws.  Tell her that Senator McCarthy was censured by the Senate in 1954 at the instigation of Republicans, not Democrats.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy#Censure_and_the_Watkins_Committee

"President Woodrow Wilson imprisoned over 100,000 Americans during World War I who were deemed political opponents or pacifists."  http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/camps_for_dissidents_190.html

"By presidential directive, 120,000 Japanese residents, 80,000 of whom were American citizens by birth, were taken from their homes, farms and businesses and interned at relocation sites far inland. Roosevelt showed little remorse." http://campaigningforhistory.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/woodrow-wilson/

It seems that your political tribe, from Barack to Bertha with the rest of you in the middle, are pandering to your base and the only reason that I can think of is that you are fearful of Americans who reject the socialist leanings of this administration.  The violent rhetoric comes mainly from the Democratic party and is aimed at its base:

Ø the base that responds to Ron Bloom who said, "We kind of agree with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun."; http://freedomeden.blogspot.com/2009/10/ron-bloom-mao-and-free-market-nonsense.html
Ø the base that responds to Barack Obama who said, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” ; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2482761/posts
Ø the base that thrives on violence and beats an honor student to death with a 2x4 on a Chicago street; http://cbs2chicago.com/local/derrion.albert.investigation.2.1212436.html
Ø the base that influences the Justice Department to drop charges against thugs menacing voters in Philadelphia;  http://thebulletin.us/articles/2009/05/29/top_stories/doc4a1f42b32c161287079901.txt
Ø the base that tolerates the beating of Kenneth Gladney by SEIU thugs and the silencing of Gladney's First Amendment Rights.

While "campaign" and "lock and load" may be military terms, they are also political terms that refer to great contests.  That's quite different from the issues above.

It's amusing to hear you people refer to older and peaceful citizens who gather and let their opinions be known as "Astroturf" and "mob".  Where is the respect of the First Amendment and its prohibition of government against limiting speech and freedom of assembly?  Where is the "integrity, civility and fiscal discipline" promised by Nancy Pelosi in her "A New Direction for America"?

If you ask me – and I know that you would rather dwell in an ivory tower where your subjects fawn over you than hear my humble opinions – the taxpaying citizens of these United States don't want the     *     tax burdens that you're foisting upon us.  We don't need or want bigger government to take care of us – maybe those without "skin in the game" want your largess but we don't! 

There's time to turn this mess around and I urge you to do so before your goons come for me to drag me to the internment camp – you Democrats have a track record of deceiving and imprisoning innocent people and the American taxpayer is going to continue to search for and reveal the truth.
