You’re our last and only hope. I am trying to help and comfort a dear friend of mine, Mary L.
She is a young widower of a Marine, killed in action defending our country in Iraq and has one great kid.
A great horror has been cast upon her soul — the loss of her husband and the father of her child. She also lost her job because of a layoff.
Now, she no longer can afford health care insurance, whether under your new health care organization or under her former health care insurer. She can barely afford to pay rent and feed what’s left of her young family.
According to the new health care bill, due to her lack of a job (by no fault of her own), she will be fined several thousand dollars, enforced by the IRS and eventually jailed.
Her dilemma is this. Should she put her kid up for adoption?

As of November 1st, 2009, California taxpayers, at least those who still have a job, were bilked another ten percent from their paychecks — at gunpoint.
Here is the official notice at the California Franchise Tax Board’s website:
“Starting November 1, 2009, a new law (ABX4 17) requires the state wage withholding rates to be increased by 10 percent. This is not a new tax. Withholding schedules are available at the Employment Development Department’s website, edd.ca.gov. Changes to withholding amounts for state taxes can be made by submitting Form DE 4 to your employer.”
Officially, the PRC (not the People’s Republic of China but, rather the People’s Republic of California) claims, “This is not a new tax.”
Really? Tell that to those who still have jobs in a state with ‘officially’ 12.2% unemployment (in reality 19%) they’ll have to make-up for the drunken orgy of an 80% increase in state spending over the last ten years. Yes, that’s NO typo.
Good news is it stands to reason, those without jobs won’t be extorted as they don’t receive paychecks. But, they probably moved out-of-state long ago.
California — Worst State Climate for Businesses
Over the last ten years of this spending orgy, the PRC has increased its budget by an astronomical 80% without any consideration of revenues. According to this year’s Chief Executive magazine’s 2009 “Best & Worst States” survey, California has ranked the worst state in the United States four years in a row.
Congratulations California!
“Our survey, year-over-year proves that those states with the worst records continue to practice the same policies that alienate businesses,” JP Donlon, Editor-in-Chief of Chief Executive magazine
Do you feel better now, California?
I didn’t think so.
The Nutbags Are Out of Control
What the nutbags in California’s government, run by The Governator, are saying to taxpayers is they’re collecting taxes on an ‘accelerated basis’.
If that’s the case, why doesn’t California just send out tax bills for the next ten years of anticipated payroll taxes and balance the budget now?
You know why these nutbags don’t try this scam?
Taxpayers would storm Sacramento with torches, looking for the monster. This way, the People’s Republic of California can bilk the taxpayer and slowly bleed them to death.
Are you sitting down?
The new California law ABX4 17 has no sunset provision. Will taxpayers long forget this rape by next tax season? You decide.
Those footsteps you’re hearing is the stampede of business out of the state, along with taxpayers who are completely fed up. Some actually were born and raised here.
To the other 49 States — Pay attention, you are next
Several states have reportedly begun looking at this PRC option to balance their budgets by bilking their taxpayers. Well, at least those still employed.
The Leftys want your money. They’ll do anything to get it for their own narcissistic pleasures.
Their motto: “We know how to spend your money better than you do.”
Oh, and I didn’t see anything about only the rich being bilked — it’s all taxpayers in California.

So, how’s that shiny new car you’re driving? You know. The one built by inferior automakers in the U.S.?
CARS (a.k.a. Cash for Clunkers)
Well, the results are in and our government screwed us to the tune of $24,000 per car sold in the Cash for Clunkers program. Let’s just round that off to three billion dollars of your money. A million here, a million there and soon we’re at a billion or three.
No. That’s not a typo.
Only the most powerful nation on earth could spend $24,000 a vehicle in one of the biggest scams perpetrated by the Obama Administration — ObamaNation.
And The Leftys want ObamaCare funded with your money?
According to Edmunds.com, ‘the premier resource for online automotive information’, they figured out the fuzzy math and determined the Cash for Clunkers program cost taxpayers (the ones Obama promised to steal from) an astronomical $24,000 per vehicle sold in the program.
The Leftys don’t care because it’s your money. They know how better to spend your money than you do.
The Class Warfare Specialists don’t care because the ObamaNation is sticking it to rich people — those who make over $65,000 per year.
CARS only saw an approximate increase of 18% in car sales; that’s an extra 125,000 vehicles sold during the scam (program) that would’ve never been sold anyways.
Edmunds.com CEO Jeremy Anwyl said the reason they performed the analysis was two-fold: “[A] complete assessment of the program’s impact and costs,” and the analysis, “can help us to understand the true state of auto sales and the economy.”
The average 9.8 percent unemployment rate (but really 19%) out-of-work American could’ve told him the economy stinks and the automaker-bailout is just another corporate welfare program shoveled onto the backs of taxpayers.
Pretty straightforward. Edmunds.com has no apparent axe to grind. They’re in the business of data analysis. They probably have more PhDs and statisticians working these numbers over than the government.
The Other Shoe (Car) Drops
Are you sitting down?
Anwyl and Edmunds.com’s team of PhDs and statisticians report without the Cash for Clunkers program, “… sales would have been even better.”
I’ll give you time to clean-up your drink you just spit across your computer.
People rushed out to get a government handout when they should’ve saved their money. Probably the same people who got caught up in the sub-prime mortgage scam. Obama said we don’t save as a nation. Hypocrite.
I wonder what the repossession rate is going to be in the next few months? Edmunds.com? You listening?
You Got Screwed America
Once again our government, in order to boost numbers on the depression-leaning economy — to take the heat off ObamaNation — spent $24,000 per car just so they could claim the economic stimulus package was a success.
Show me the money.
George W. Bush once said, “It’s fuzzy math.”
Well, here it is:
125,000 extra cars sold during the program $3,000,000,000 dollars spent on the program
Equals $24,000 per vehicle sold
Where did the money go? In wasted government time and services.
Two days after the Edmunds.com report was released, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, in response to questions by Major Garrett of Fox News over the scam, “I’ll go back and look at the math figures on this. I think what’s undeniable, Major, is that the recovery plan is helping the economy grow, right?”
You see. ObamaNation wants you to believe their strategy is working to save America.
As the country finds itself entrenched in class warfare between those who want Obamacare and those who don’t, one competitor has jogged off the gridiron — for now.
Indeed, Governor Palin has arguably taken more heat in the last year than all in politics combined, save for President Obama. Even some leaders in the Republican Party have found it uncomfortable to stand beside her because of their misguided fears of Lefty wrath coming down upon them, too. Let me change ‘leaders’ to ‘posers’ as the kids say. If you’re too old to know what poser means, ask the kids. They know. They’re our future.
Have you noticed, now that Palin is on the sidelines, the Lefty media has focused all its attention on the Nazis, Tea Partiers and Astroturfers?
The NTA Organization (a.k.a. Shills for the Rich)
When Americans have absolutely had enough of government over-taxing them and their heirs and their heirs, they take to tea parties and townhall meetings to ‘meet’ their representatives in Congress to have their voices heard. Boy did the Poliopaths get an ear full. So, the Poliopaths did what they always do — the policy of attack and distraction.
Funny. I get that a lot in Hollywood.
Chris Matthews of MSNBC’s “Hardball” is giddy at the prospect he can interview Senator Barbara “Ma’am” Boxer (D-Calif) on Obama-protestors. Warning: You should not be eating while watching this clip.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) has been gobbling up air time denouncing the Nazis, Tea Partiers and Astroturfers (NTA) as, well, phonies and shills for the rich. Notice she chose KTVU in San Francisco, the home of Lefty World Headquarters.
Dennis Miller commented this week that Pelosi couldn’t even deliver a good line with the ‘Astroturf’ reference.
Pay No Attention to the Poliopath Behind the Door
What’s this I call a ‘Poliopath’? How about a politician who is a sociopath when it comes to their constituents — the people who elected them. They could care less about you and your issues, and more about furthering their political careers and pensions. Do you get a pension after five years of work?
Ronald Reagan nailed it when he said, “No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth.”
Rather than moving towards real health care and tort reform, the Leftys are going to force their government program down your American throat, whether it’s the right thing to do or not.
The Leftys want to be your nanny.
The Republicans are hanging on for their dear political lives.
You are reading this wondering how you can make a difference? You work, pay your bills, pay your taxes — wait, you pay your taxes first — and then wonder if you can make it on what’s left.
Has it gotten so bad in Washington that the unwashed masses are now marching in the streets with torches looking for the monster? It has and will continue to be.
The monster is behind that door. Poliopaths have to be removed from office as the current class warfare is a sign of times to come, if they are not voted out of office.
Obama’s Political Life in Jeopardy
Yes, Obama is currently in a battle for his political life with his health care reform bill. If it doesn’t pass, his presidency will forever be labeled with an asterisk and I’m certain it won’t be one delineating his place in history being that of the second (first) African American president. To him and the Democrats, this bill must pass or else. Or, else we’ll all die.
At least if it passes, we’ll all have what Palin coined, “The Death Panel” review. I’m getting my life resume in order, just in case.
Rush Limbaugh was right — Obama’s policies and socialism need to fail. And fail fast, I say.
As far as ‘his bill’ is concerned, this really is a pile of pulp which no one has admittedly read. The Leftys have resurrected BillaryCare from the ’90s like disco at Karaoke night. Obama just happens to be the go-to-guy the Leftys have in The White House to hoist this upon America’s back.
Almost Forgot: Palin’s Piehole
Governor Palin has and is everything the Lefty’s hate. And I mean hate:
Longtime Marriage
Large Family
Female with Real Power
Chose Life Over Abortion (THAT really sticks in their craw)
Dared Oppose The Messiah (a.k.a. The Chosen One)
Believes in less government as opposed to the Nanny State
Hunts and fishes (i.e. guns and getting messy)
…you get the idea
Palin is young, attractive and can hold her own when it comes to debate, contrary to what Lefty’s think. She has a huge family by today’s standards and supports them without government welfare. The Lefty’s really hate that one.
I could hold your awe for hours telling you the stories I’ve heard in Hollywood about why the Lefty’s hate Palin. The smears and attacks. Absolutely disgusting. But, that’s how Hollywood elitists roll. If you don’t know what ‘roll’ means, ask your kids.
She has rocked the political boat in the twenty first century to the point it’s taking on water. No one, not even Senator McCain, really knew what she was and is capable of doing for America. She has a ‘take no prisoners’ attitude. Shouldn’t that appease the anti-Gitmo-Leftys?
Some Republicans are weak in the knees because Palin wasn’t cut from the cloth of Poliopaths. She was cut from the cloth Betsy Ross created. Have you noticed how the Lefty media asks unsuspecting Republicans in interviews about Palin, the Republicans dance better than Michael Jackson (did)?
Yes, Sarah Palin needs some more burn time to become a world leader. Yes, this is the right time for her to develop those skills we’ll need in the future as Americans. No, she’s not sitting the bench on this one.
The ‘ethics violations’ lawsuits were just smokescreens for the fifteen seconds of fame crowd. Though, I am in complete disagreement with her in her decision not to hammer these frivolous suits. Or, should I say institute ‘tort reform’?
When Palin talks, people listen. Lots of people listen. Even the Lefty media listens to every single word, syllable and punctuation mark. She captures people’s attention and you know the Leftys squirm when she speaks. The conservatives can’t get enough of her. Tina Fey, Palin’s worst admirer, listens to everything she says. Over and over.
Sarah Palin gets what America needs today and in the future. She gets it. Deep down I know the Leftys get it. They get she is kryptonite to their failed socialism. If you don’t know what kryptonite is, ask your kids. Really? You need to get out more often.
Palin is the real hope and change America needs. The Republicans had better rally around her because she will soon be driving you to move this country in a direction we haven’t seen since Reagan.
Go Sarah.
Go!
[Editor's Note: Sorry about the piehole reference.]
While all tax paying Californians — of the non-mob-non-union-type — are being faced with receiving IOUs from the state due to budget problems, union thugs have stormed the state capitol today threatening lawmakers.
In a staged event this morning, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) here in California marched on Sacramento demanding (through their chants), “No more cuts! No more cuts! No more cuts!”
Funny. At the tea parties, I heard chants of, “No more taxes! No more taxes! No more taxes!”
What do you see is the difference?
Yes, I knew you’d see it.
As hard-working tax payers who go to work everyday providing for our families and wondering how we’ll pay our bills during these uncertain times, union thugs are threatening us — the taxpayers — to pay them or else.
Think about it. We elect our lawmakers, even though here in California we’ve done a horrible job in the last decade, so they represent us. These union thugs are threatening us, the lawmakers, not to cut their slovenly engorged contracts.
Yes, some lawmakers were voted into office with the help of the SEIU and now the mob wants its piece of the pie. Hey, they paid-off the lawmakers to get them into office and now they want what’s rightfully coming to them. Makes sense, right?
At least at Starbucks they say, “Thank you.” We pay those union thugs’ state salaries and their attitude is frequently expressed as ‘you should be grateful I’m here helping you’ with whatever state job I’m being paid to do.
Notice closely at around 1:06 into the video, you’ll see a sign that symbolically says, “No Private Contractors.”
No private contractors? Then how are we — the lawmakers — going to get the best deal for our tax dollars? Does anyone, other than these union thugs, think ‘they’ do the best job possible? When was the last time you received excellent service from a public employee?
A very special thanks to State Senator George Runner (R-17th Dist. Calif.) for providing this video.
What the nutbags in California’s government, run by The Governator, are saying to taxpayers is they’re collecting taxes on an ‘accelerated basis’.
As the country finds itself entrenched in class warfare between those who want Obamacare and those who don’t, one competitor has jogged off the gridiron — for now.
