Daily Rant – July 11, 2009
July 12, 2009
Face it, folks. Practically every bill that congress puts forward is just another tax bill. Look at the facts:
- Cap and Trade – it includes a tax for emitters of carbon dioxide. Technically every one of us would have to pay a tax for exhaling! It also taxes and regulates businesses which will essentially shut down companies and cause higher unemployment.
- Health Care – it will include a new payroll tax to help pay for it as well as the above tax which they say is where the money for this program will come from. Does anyone have a lie detector? Do these idiots really think this will work?
- Illegal Amnesty - it would fail to solve our problem, but in essence it is aimed at taking illegals and making them legal so they could pay taxes. It didn’t work when Reagan tried it, and it won’t work now. Will we ever learn?
Fundamentally, everything that involves taxation actually is about freedom. Think about it this way. Higher taxes on the tobacco products were supposed to stop people from smoking. The taxes are fast approaching the actual cost of the product if it weren’t taxed at all! I am against smoking. Have never tried it and never will. But if people want to smoke, is it my business to stop them? NO. This is about government control, not health. And think about this; if all those taxes are supposed to pay for health programs what happens when everyone quits smoking? Where will that money come from then? And just because the government says it’s wrong, does that make it so? What if they said “religion is unhealthy” and outlawed it. It’s an absurd extreme (or is it?) but you should get my point. Government says man made global warming is happening, but that doesn’t make it so.
In the above examples, cap and trade takes away our freedom to buy the car we want. Oh, sure, we can still buy a gas guzzler (for now), but we will have to pay higher taxes for them. And those who are good little boys and girls will get a check from the government for “choosing” a “green” vehicle. It’s reward based training, and we are Pavlov’s dogs. Not only that, but bigger cars and trucks will be more expensive to make, so once people stop buying them because of price the government will achieve its real purpose… to push us into little golf carts which will put a huge strain on our already insufficient electrical grids!
Health care is being seriously considered because the government says it’s a crisis… Only for people who don’t have health insurance (which over 80% of us have). So who would that include? Can anyone say illegal aliens? Who are Democrats pandering to? Illegal aliens? Who votes Democrat most of the time anyway? Can you say illegal aliens? Can anyone define the word “illegal” for me? And answer these questions for me:
- HOW DO THESE PEOPLE GET TO VOTE IN THE FIRST PLACE?
- WHICH PARTY IS LETTING THAT HAPPEN?
- WHAT GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE CAUSING US TO SPEND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO SUPPORT THEM WITH HEALTH CARE, FOOD STAMPS AND HOUSING ASSISTANCE?
Can anyone say illegal aliens?
I realize I have covered a couple of topics here this morning, but I will keep hammering them home until people start to wake up and do the right thing. Besides, this is essentially what the daily rant is all about! Freedom of SPEECH, even if I am wandering!
