Sunday, June 27th, 2010

Vice President Joe Biden while in Milwaukee, WI for a fundraiser for Democrat-Socialist Senator Russ Feingold, stopped at Kopp’s Frozen Custard and wanted ice cream, not exactly something that is on the menu at a frozen custard shop.

Having already put his big foot into his mouth, Biden didn’t want the opportunity to pass without putting his other foot into his mouth and called the store manager a “smartass” when responding to his question about tax cuts.

Congress Wants To Quadruple Oil Taxes

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Claiming that an increase in oil taxes of .32 cents a barrel will help finance clean-ups, Congress is poised to quadruple taxes on a barrel of oil.

Who really pays? Oil Companies will pass on any new tax increases on the consumer.

Federal, State and Local Taxes are the second largest part of the retail price of gasoline. In 2008 federal excise taxes were 18.4 cents a gallon and state excise taxes averaged 21.7 cents a gallon. From 2000 to 2008 taxes averaged 23% of the retail price of a gallon of gasoline.

Remember when, “Hoax & Chains” promised…

Having already broken his no new tax pledge will Barack Obama sign legislation raising oil taxes?

New federal taxes are most assuredly coming. Get ready to dig a little deeper in your pocket and tighten your belt a little bit more.

Never A User Fee (Tax Hike) That Mitt Didn’t Like

Sunday, April 11th, 2010


Romney a Conservative? Romney in 2012?

Mitt Romney wins Republican Leadership Conference test vote receiving 439 votes of  1806 ballots cast. Surely we can hope for better than Mitt Romney in 2012?

Why? Is Romney a Reagan Conservative? Clearly Not.

While Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney supported 126 user fee increases, for marriage licenses, gun registrations, blindness certificates, home deed registrations, gasoline taxes, corporate trusts, non-profit corporations, sales catalogs, never a user fee that Mitt didn’t like.

Obama’s 17 minute 12 second rambling incoherent response to Woman’s claim of being “over taxed”

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah…

During a forum at Celgard, Inc. in Charlotte, NC  a woman named Doris asked “Hoax & Chains” whether it was a “wise decision to add more taxes to us” to pay for ObamaCare.

“We are over taxed as it is,” said Doris.

Obama gives rambling incoherent 17 minute 12 second response, lulling the crowd into a daze, wandering from topic to topic to answer the question.

America Deserves Better Than California Democrat Congressional Candidate Karen Bass

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Scraping the bottom of the barrel, California and the American taxpayers deserve better than sending former State Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, Democrat Congressional candidate to Washington.

How can Ms. Bass expect to work with Republicans who she accused of political terrorism for not supporting more revenue (tax increases) being sent to Sacramento so that liberals may redistribute income.

Just like all too many liberals, Bass loved spending other peoples money in the California legislature. On her last day as Speaker of the California State Assembly, Bass handed out 10% pay increases and invented new job titles for 20 members of the Democratic Caucus staff at an annual cost to California taxpayers of $100,000

Americans deserve better than electing another former community organizer, big spending liberal to Congress.

Democrat-Socialists fear the GOP may pick up Pennsylvania Congressional Seat

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Democrat-Socialists in Congress face yet another tough election race, following the death of Rep. Murtha, dubbed by his own colleagues as the “King of Pork” barrel spending.

Murtha’s Congressional earmarks kept the John Murtha Jognstown-Cambria County Airport operating with $200 million in taxpayer dollars being wasted during the past decade, ferrying very few passengers with a mere three daily departures on United Express to Dulles International Airport.

The American taxpayers deserve better with Trillion Dollar Budget deficits as far as the eye can see $200 million here and $200 million there, may not seem like a significant sum of money to Congressional Democrat-Socialists but to the American taxpayer, fed up with Congressional Earmarks and Broken Promises that is real money.

During the 2008 Presidential Campaign Barack Obama promised to go “line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely” but instead of keeping his word to the American people, in March President Obama, signed an omnibus spending bill containing more than 9,000 earmarks.

On the 20 November, I wrote here that during the first year of Obama’s watch the federal budget deficit quadrupled.
