The So Called Evil Rich

I myself am not rich, matter of fact you might consider me as middle, middle class. But, I am really getting sick and tired of the Socialist (that’s what they really are) on the left complaining about the evil rich. I keep on hearing how we need to tax the rich more. The problem is every time taxes are raised to punish the so called rich, my taxes go up. Every time we lower taxes on the so called evil rich my taxes go down. When the Bush tax cuts went into effect my taxes went down. According to the Democrats, this was not supposed to happen. So who are they the Socialist on the left really fooling? The people who have no idea how our economy really works. You know the ones who are not willing to accept responsibility for their own actions. The ones who believe the government should take care of them.
So let me give them some idea. First of all who supplies most of the jobs in this country? Think about it for a moment, it’s the so called evil rich. Matter of fact most jobs in this country are supplied by the Small Business Owner. Most of them are in the upper middle class. Every time taxes are raised on them (the evil rich), the less money they have to invest. If they have less money to invest they don’t expend, and if they don’t expend, then they can’t hire new people. I realize this might be a hard pill to swallow for those educated in government schools, but if you do not wake up soon, more jobs (and they are not yours, they belong to the company) will move over seas. How do we stop this movement? We lower taxes.
The best plan that I have found is in the Fair Tax. That’s right the Fair Tax. But that’s for another time.

Why I Support The Fair Tax.

Why I Support The Fair Tax.

First of all I ask how you would like to get 100% of your pay check and every month the government will send you a check based on your family size. That you will never have to file a tax return and you can say so long to the IRS. Next put into effect a system that would create a tax haven for US companies that will make the products we export over seas less expensive. This makes our products more competitive. Which in turn would bring more jobs to this country? Oh I can’t leave out the so called evil rich; you know the ones who supply the jobs, they will end up paying more in taxes. Does this sound good so far? If so please read on.
What I am talking about is a consumption tax. First of all this is not really a new tax, all it is doing is replacing the imbedded tax we now pay in everything we buy. Imbedded you say what imbedded tax are you talking about. Let me explain. All taxes now paid by companies are hidden in the products we buy every day. That amounts to about 22% of the cost we pay for everything we buy. Every time the government raises the tax on corporations they in turn add those taxes to the products they sell.
When the farmer sells his products to the manufactures he is taxed, when the manufactures sell the products to retailers they are taxed and when the retailer sells the products to us the consumer they are taxed again. All these taxes are added to and hidden in the price we pay for the final product. These are the imbedded taxes we pay.
Have you looked at the percentage of income tax and payroll tax you pay every year? The average American pays about 33 percent or 33 cents on every dollar. How much do you spend every year to have your taxes done? According to the Tax Foundation we spend about $300 billion a year to have our taxes done. That’s $300 Billion! Don’t you think that money is better in our pockets?
Have you thought about the people who don’t pay taxes now? You know the ones the illegal aliens, the drug dealers and other crooks. They will now be paying taxes. Think about it. Wow everybody pays.

Letter to Obama

Mr. Obama

I would like to know is do you support the Fair tax? If not why not, from what I have studied it would do more for the lower income then any other tax reform out there. It would also bring jobs to this country. For someone who wants change the Fair tax would differently change the way we are taxed and boost our economy. So if you have not read the bill you should go ahead and do it. I believe that if you were really for the poor you would jump all over this.

Thank You

Open Letter to Bob Etheridge

I have a problem with people who suppose to be looking out for the poor and lower income and do not support the Fair Tax. When, if you looked at the bill you would see that it would benefit the poor and lower income the most. It would also bring industries into this country because we would become a tax haven for them. Is it because it was written by Republicans and Liberations? Or is it that you are so beholden to the left wing of your party that you can’t do what is best for this country? This is just one of the issues that I have with you but it is also I believe the most important.

Thank You

Social Progressive

I have been hearing this word progressive thrown around a lot lately by certain politicians. Ever since the first time I heard one of them mention that they were a progressive a light went on. But it was a dull light for something about it was brothering me and I could not put my fingerer on it. But it just kept on nagging at me, and a chill would go down the middle of my back every time I would hear it. Then all of the sudden the pieces came together the other night. I finely figured out what it was and it scared heck out of me. Unless you were around during the earley1930s or study history you might have missed it. Now I was not around then but I do like to read about history. What was this thing that scared me? Well I had read some where, that the early Nazis in Germany said they were progressive‘s. What did they say they stand for? They wanted to change the direction of the government for one thing. They picked a segment of the population and demonized them. The so called Rich, Christians, and anybody else that does not agree with them. Oh, by the way what were the Nazis, they were German National Socialist Party. Yes they were Socialist. When they got into power they shut down opposition Radio, TV and Newspapers because they were not being fare. They did not call it the Fairness Doctrine, but it had they same effect. Does any of this sound familiar to what is going on today. Now, I am not saying that these politicians are Nazis or anything like that but it should make one wonder. Well it makes me wonder anyway what their motives really are. Are they Socialist in Progressive clothing?

Why I am thinking of voting for Obama.

Why I am thinking of voting for Obama.

I am a white 57 year old Conservative Republican who tends to lean toward the Libertarian point of view. But, in this election I think I might vote for Obama. Now I am still not 100% shore but I am thinking of it. I am also thinking of switching parties so I can vote in the Demarcated primary. Let me explain. I know that while he was a state representative he did not do anything, and while he was a congressman he did not do anything and ever since he became a US Senator the only thing he done is running for President. I also have listened to his speeches and even though he has only said he would make changes but has never said what or how. He is never specific and always invades the questions but yet he is inspiring. He is a true politician a lot of hot air and no substance. There is another reason, we will be making history. The first Black President. Imagine how far this will go to heal race relations in this country. As a Black friend of mine told me, look Dave he has not let Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton get close or embrace him. You know they are fit to be tied; electing Obama will put people like them out of business. Then maybe this country could finally move forward. It was after her statement that I started to think of voting for him. I thought she made some valid points.
