Time for a Tea Party


well maybe not that kind of party, Alice!


The mention of the date, April 15th should make all hard-working tax paying Americans angry. It's the date the bill is due, Federal Income taxes (and many accompanying states) must be filed by 11:59 pm, OR ELSE.


Many people are out of work. Others are working for lesser jobs. Many who've done nothing wrong and continue to work are seeing their taxes going to pay for everything from corrupt corporate executives' salaries to every imaginable left-wing pork barrell many of which are give aways to groups that are dead set on rewarding all the wrong things like ACORN and the labor unions. Talk from the Obama administration that they only are interested in raising taxes on the rich is bullshit. Do you hear this? BULLSHIT, pure smelly BULLSHIT. A tax on one American is a tax on all Americans as it removes money from a free individual who can place it into the economy as he or she sees fit and tosses it into the layers and layers of bureaucracy before getting to its targeted purpose within the scheme of government where for every penny spent that actually reaches the economy often through unproductive government jobs hundreds of dollars are wasted on making sure every proper step is followed on how that penny will be spent with layers and layers of compliance assurance tracking so all the stake holders in the government system get their two cents first whether its minority setasides, mandatory union contracts, or all kinds of Federal auditors whose job is simply to document and document and document some more where that little piece of copper will be spent and who supposedly will benefit from its expenditure.


You'd damned well better be angry about what's going on. Does the fact that the Obama administration and the Democrats on Capitol Hill have created a debt larger than those of all 43 Presidents up to George W. Bush combined make you angry? Meanwhile, the Obama hit squad and fearless leader himself keeps up the stone faced lie that everything they're doing is necessary because of the failings of the last administration and that they did inherit a deficit.


Okay, they did inherit a deficit, some of which was unjustified. Most of it was an outcome of 9/11 and fighting two wars against radical Islam. You don't get out of debt by racking up larger debts and spending more money.


If the economy is hurting, the best solution is freeing up more money in the private sector to invest, hire, build, and create, but as the total sum of the trillions of dollars in the United States continues to shift with less money available to everyone from private individuals to small businesses to huge corporations going to the other side, the Federal government, everybody in the position to make money and purchase the products produced by our economy has less to work with. Earning, spending, and investing is the fuel which grows economies. Only when those activities increase will our economic difficulties be solved, but the only vision the Obama administration has is more and more government and intruding more and more into how the private sector conducts its business whether it is more regulations or attempting to dictate executive compensation. Once the government gets its hands into to something in the private sphere, it is generally there for good and from the initial point of intrusion their involvement grows like a lethal cancer on the institution it infected. Since World War II, public education has gone from a largely successful enterprise managed by local communities to being large state managed monopolies subject to more and more federal guidelines committed much more to serving the interests of those concerns large and rich enough to lobby for favorable political concessions like the teachers' unions. Parents have fewer choices and less involvement in how their local schools are run leaving their children's' future as the casualty.


The practice of medicine used to be centered around the relationship of doctor and patient, but over time, between lawyers increasingly getting involved making the process more litigious and as costs skyrocket first the insurance industry, then state regulators, and now the Federal government have entered the picture to where talk of government managed universal health care is on the horizon.


Now the Federal government is taking over the banking industry and possibly the domestic auto industry as well. Where does it stop? If folks think the way the government manages the post office and Amtrak is good and that the way they are treated at state departments of motor vehicles is good customer service, than maybe driving a car like the East German Trabant would be just hunky dory. Most of us wold demand better.


Demonstrate, write, talk, and blog. Speak up. Let the world know you will not stand for the government running your life. Think of the spirit of our forefathers who screamed "don't tread on me" and "no taxation without representation."


IT'S NOT TOO LATE!!!!
