Lately there has been a lot of speculation that Fox News is organizing these tea parties and all the protesters are just mad because “they lost the election”. First lets look at this “lost the election business”. I believe it could be said that we all lost the election, and several previous elections. The Federal Government is out of control and many people realize this, many people have been screaming about this for years and it has been true for years. We have lost our way.
I believe it was Rick Santelli from CNBC that got this whole business started, give credit where credit is due. These protests were going before the miserable pundits over at Fox News even knew what was going on. The only difference between Fox News’ coverage of the tea parties, and the rest of the media’s coverage of the tea parties is that Fox News has seen a glimpse of the truth and can no longer help themselves. The same belligerent retards that have belittled Libertarian ideals for so long now champion many of our views, how ironic.
As much as I bitch about the Obamadministration you’d think I was some bible thumping neocon. WRONG. I enjoy spreading the hate and dissension around to both sides of the political spectrum, and perhaps my favorite target ever is the fascist Neoconservatives. The best example of a mouthpiece of the neocon movement may very well be Mr. Sean Hannity. Sean, please enlighten us with some of your brilliant debate skills:
Remember kids, when you can’t win a civil debate with facts and reasoning it is always best to raise your voice and talk over your adversary. Not only will you believe you win, but you also look like a total asshat. As much as I hate the bailout in it’s every form, Rep. Sestak is correct in every thing he says. It’s not in the bill, and it’s purely speculation, conspiracy theory if you will. In fact Mr. Hannity, you sound just like those conspiracy theorists you enjoy yelling over to prove you’ve won.
Senator Byrd has called President Obama’s appointment of “czars” a power grab, and by all means I do believe he is right. These “czars” are not vetted by the Senate and enjoy executive privilege, this could lead to problems due to the lack of legislative oversight. Interesting that Senator Byrd would turn on the Chosen One.
I doubt it will be lost on any Obama supporters that Senator Byrd is a former Klansman. He certainly has a legitimate argument, but the left will beat him down as a racist.
Republican Representative, John Linder, and forty four other Representatives have introduced H.R. 25: Fair Tax Act of 2009. In short this piece of legislation who get rid of the Federal Income Tax as well as the IRS, and would use a flat rate sales tax that’s imposed by each individual state. Not only does this make sense, but it’s also a win-win situation, it removes the tiered, complicated Income Tax system, reduces government spending by ridding ourselves of the IRS, and finally delegates the roll of collection to individual states. We get rid of the sham known as the IRS and fall back more on the 10th Amendment, who could argue?
For one, the left will be the first to play the “Burdens the Low Income Families” card. However once said card is played, it can be instantly rebutted by pointing out that said liberanazi should read Chapter 3 of the Bill and also reminding them that the majority of states in the US do not place an income tax on unprepared food and prescription medication, the only two neccesities of life that are purchased in such a way that a tax might be applicable. These two justifications completely null the “progressive” argument against a fair tax.
Furthermore, this bill would also be a key in dealing with the problem of illegal immigration milking our public systems. Illegal immigrants in this country have a very large amount of purchasing power and disposable income, however as of now very few pay a tax of any kind. By implying a flat rate sales tax on goods purchased these illegal immigrants will now also be contributing taxes to our governments coffers.
As anyone reading this should be able to tell, I vehemently support a flat rate sales tax that applies to all who make purchases. It’s fair, it makes sense, and most importantly it rids us of yet another government agency. Contact your local represeantives so we can hopefully see this bill make progress.
