Kerry and Libermans new bull being spewed. The new “climate bill”, um scratch that, “cap and trade”, ummm no people are on to that….Lets see what would work? “American Power Act” oh that sounds so much better. Nobody will connect the dots. They even came up with a new logo that looks patriotic and looks like the flag. Wow…I’m so warm inside now. It will of course create jobs just like in Europe where similar things have cost 2 jobs for every one made. Wow what a bargain.
Lets see lets this of course means “JOBS”. Oh yes always throw out how this will create jobs…not only jobs but “GREEN JOBS”. Oh yeah. Look at Europe and you will see that everywhere they have tried this you on average create one job while doing away with 2. Net loss sounds like a great boost to our unemployment.
Oh and Kerry throws in “NEW ECONOMY”. What in the hell are they talking about? It creates jobs that can’t be shipped over seas. Oh really? Why, because they can’t make windmills and solar panels in China, Korea or India? Hmmm. They already are you idiot. Billions have already gone to China and India from our stimulus to buy wind generators and solar panels. Morons.
The money raised will be “refunded” back to Americans. How? Subsides to the poor to offset the higher costs. REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH!! HELLO!!
OH BUT THERE IS A COOL NEW LOGO!!! SO PATRIOTIC!!! Thanks. I feel so secure now
The link to the new bill and it’s swell new logo is HERE
Be sure to read all the wonderful comments HERE about how great the bill is. I mean people like GE and T Boone Pickens are on board. I wonder why? Maybe because they have everything to lose if this doesn’t pass. GE has millions invested and is the biggest wind generator company there is and T Boone invested a ton and lost on the last election on wind farms. WOW, Harry Reid is on in on this too. Makes me feel safe. Read through the list and notice all the people that think it’s great have all their cards on the table for this disaster.
THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN CAP AND TRADE or whatever you want to call it. Renaming it does not change the poor logic behind it.

For 47% of Americans tax day means little as they owe nothing or actually make a profit from the tax system. According to the article found HERE a family of four making $50,000 a year can actually pay nothing. You say great? Well think of this, if you have a system where the majority get something for nothing they will vote for and continue a government that is buried under huge debt and entitlements that we can not sustain.
The government in 2009 will redistribute $109 billion in tax dollars, taking from the tax payer “rich” and giving it to those who pay nothing “poor”. Be it through tax credits, EIC or rebates. The people paying the most get nothing for their hard work except to pay into a system that hands it out to the “underprivileged”. When too many are on the dole there will be little way to vote in someone that would like to cut spending and we start a quick spiral to untold debt, borrowing and unfunded entitlement programs that will quickly become bankrupt.
There will be little chance of getting true conservatives in to cut spending and entitlements because they will need the votes of the people paying nothing and getting benefits. It is pretty easy to vote in spending programs and get the people behind you when your fellow citizen is footing the bill. Why would they care if you or I pay the bill as long as they receive benefits.
It will be hard to convince people that it is in their best interests to cut these huge entitlement programs for the benefit of the nation when they pay nothing in. The majority will not care if the government is fiscally responsible when they have no dog in the fight.
We need to change the tax system now and quick. The no going back point of 50% is closing in and there will be little way to reverse it until the country is bankrupt or saddled with more taxes including CAP and Tax or a VAT tax that is now getting serious consideration by the government drunken sailors.
The bleeding heart liberals call this “Social Justice” and turn to the government for so called “charity”. Well charity comes from within and should be a personal choice. I should get to choose who I help with how much and when. The government should not be allowed to take my money and hand it over and then call it charity. Charity has forever been a personal issue and came from the heart of the individual that chooses to help the less fortunate. Forced charity is nothing more than Socialism and always fails.
Make it known that you are tired of this and will not stand for it. Follow the links to the right and write to your congressman, local leaders and make it clear you are done with this system and want change now!
Once again here is the link to the article on yahoo CLICK HERE. Also a real good article that breaks down the percentages and shows the income brackets with no income tax is here on CNN’s Money for that article CLICK HERE

The government wants to mandate that insurance companies insure anyone at anytime they want coverage.
1) This will make it cost more for the average American to gain insurance. Insurance costs are kept down by forcing high risk individuals to higher cost plans. People that have poor health habits (i.e. smoking, drinking, obesity) normally pay higher rates. This will be eliminated by the new health plan. There will be no incentive to actually take responsibility for your own health anymore. The people that don’t care will ride on the backs of people that actually take care of their personal health.
2) The costs will go up because insurance companies will not be allowed to deny coverage due to pre-existing conditions. You could pay the small fine for electing to not have coverage and then when you find out you have to have surgery or find out you have cancer, elect to purchase coverage then. This in effect bypasses the whole idea behind insurance. This would be similar to having a car wreck, then paying for the coverage after the accident.
3) This is all an attempt to drive private insurance out and allow the government to step in and push us all into a government run medical program.

Need to get your 60 votes guaranteed? Need to do a little bribing to get the Libs to fall in line with your junk legislation? We’ll that is what we have the stimulus for. Pass out money and buy off the mindless Democratic congressman and women to do your bidding. Need a little more money? We’ll all you have to do is be a hold out and soon your buyout will come. Thanks Democrats for being such a bunch of low lifes. Read the whold story HERE
Oh and don’t think their aren’t some Republicans guilty of the same tactics. Not to mention the Republican Rino’s that sold us out over and over this year. We don’t forget people. Your days are numbered.

Well I guess the newest plan is to tax you into the grave. First the new HR 3962 health bill wants to penalize you if you don’t buy into a “qualified plan”. If your plan doesn’t meet their requirements, well then, you get to pay a 2.5% tax on your income (Page 297 line 6). If you make more than $1 million in income, well then that’s another 5.4% tax (page 337 line 5). Are you a small business that can’t afford to provide the “qualified plan” that the government wants you to provide to your employees and pay the 73% of the premium they will require you to pay? Well then that is 8% of the employees pay in a penalty tax for you (page 313 line 6).
Oh need to buy medical devices? Well that is a 2.5% tax on the purchase (page 339 line 14). Yeah. Nice.
The CBO says that the average premium by 2014 will be $15,000 add that to the out of pocket expenses of $5000 and you are talking about $20,000 a year. You pay 25% of that while the employer pays 75%. Wow. Sounds affordable to me. Nice, no thanks.

Oh that pesky CO2. Damn it. I mean it just gives plants a means of living and giving off that horrible O2 that we all breath. Damn you trees. Click here for the story.
This fringe group of morons that want to sue power plants for “public nuisance” is ridiculous. The liberal judges that allow this stuff to continue should be thrown out. This freaking “climate change” garbage has got to stop. First it was “global warming” now that doesn’t fit so now they use “climate change”. What kind of a moron thinks that we can keep the entire planet in constant state of temperature, animal life and never have any change? Who determines what a dangerous level of CO2 is too much? Some government paid “scientists” that depend on government money to continue their jobs? Oh I’m sure they are going to report findings against the wacko’s when their paycheck depends on this crap continuing.
I’ve got an idea. All the idiots that complain that electric power is harming the environment should have their power shut off to save on CO2. Exactly how do these idiots think we are going to power millions of electric “green” cars if we don’t have power plants? They want us to switch, but there are no new nuke plants being built and they will take decades to come on line. Solar plants are being blocked by the Sierra group out in California because they cause environmental impact on animals. Here is the story about that.
So what are our options? Well I suppose we could all just die and get it over with. We can’t build nuke plants, solar plants, coal plants, oil fired plants, wind plants, can’t make gasoline/diesel to drive cars. Probably can’t ride horses because of the emmissions. What are we left with? They want us to go green but even “green” isn’t “green” enough for these idiots.
It is time for the hard working Americans in this country to stand up and say enough is enough. We are the majority of level headed people in this country and these minority of fringe groups need to go jump off the “green” bridge to no where.
