liar liar

Big Government has grabbed themselves more and more power in dictating to us what we can and cannot drive, eat, read, use, etc.

Government is growing. The private economy is shrinking. Economic growth has slowed to a crawl.

Obama and his legion of minions are taking more and more of our lives away from us, to regulate and tax, even down to what we choose to drink!

This past week new rules governing our credit cards kicked in, following passage of the Credit Card Accountability and Responsibility Act, signed into law last year.

The point of the CARD Act is to protect us consumers from the scheming bankers from whom we get our credit cards.

Have you checked your credit card interest rates?

Who will protect us from scheming politicians? From the power-grabbers? From the ego maniacs?

As usual, the Wolf-In-Chief cannot see beyond the end of his own nose and despite constant reminders that no one making less that $250,000 (or $200,000 – it keeps changing) will pay more in taxes — the taxes on the poorer people keep going up!

First it was the cigarette tax. Now who is affected here? Not those making more than $250,000!

Then his stupid credit card "reform" has resulted in all of us paying higher interest rates. Oh yeah, that's a big saving.

Healthcare "reform" has resulted in much higher insurance premiums for those who can least afford it.

Brace yourself for that insane Cap and Trade that will make you pay 10 times your current electric bill. Another great saving for us who make way less than $250,000.

And stop blaming the companies and business. It is your fault Obama, plain and simple.

Just leave us alone.

Larry ElderObama is a community organizer, a person who, by definition, wants government to do more, not less. Obama rails against the "greed" of capitalism and believes that "at a certain point, you've made enough money." He urges higher taxes on the rich to "spread the wealth." He admits that higher capital gains taxes actually produce less revenue but supports a hike so that the rich pay a higher percentage — a matter of "fairness." He doesn't understand that government subsidization of the housing market — through Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Federal Housing Administration and the Community Reinvestment Act — sparked the running on emptyunsustainable run-up in home prices. He ignores the consensus among economists and says, "The American dream … means that we raise the minimum wage not just every 10 years, but all the time."

"Every economist who's looked at it," said President Obama, "says that the Recovery Act has done its job." This is true — except for all the economists who think it failed.

Greedy Government Greedy Obama

When Obama is not blaming George Bush for his troubles, it is those Evil, Greedy Corporations who are at fault for whatever.

But listen to why Bogen Communications is not hiring:

My company has to write checks for $74,000 so Sally can receive her nominal $59,000 in base pay. Health insurance is a big, added cost: While Sally pays nearly $2,400 for coverage, my company pays the rest — $9,561 for employee/spouse medical and dental. We also provide company-paid life and other insurance premiums amounting to $153. Altogether, company-paid benefits add $9,714 to the cost of employing Sally.

Then the federal and state governments want a little something extra. They take $56 for federal unemployment coverage, $149 for disability insurance, $300 for workers' comp and $505 for state unemployment insurance. Finally, the feds make me pay $856 for Sally's Medicare and $3,661 for her Social Security.

When you add it all up, it costs $74,000 to put $44,000 in Sally's pocket and to give her $12,000 in benefits. Bottom line: Governments impose a 33% surtax on Sally's job each year.

Because my company has been conscripted by the government and forced to serve as a tax collector, we have lost control of a big chunk of our cost structure. Tax increases, whether cloaked as changes in unemployment or disability insurance, Medicare increases or in any other form can dramatically alter our financial situation. With government spending and deficits growing as fast as they have been, you know that more tax increases are coming — for my company, and even for Sally too.

— Michael P. Fleischer, president of Bogen Communications Inc. in Ramsey, N.J.

So who is really the Greedy one here?

So much for not increasing taxes on all of us who earn less that $250K.  Well, he has already dumped taxes on things that affect the average guy and gal, so he is already a proven LIAR.

But here we go again…

His crappy healthcare now forces all of us to buy insurance. It seems that is unconstitutional.

So he changes the terminology (as usual) and is calling his mandate a TAX. Wow. Amazing how he pulls off those 180's, no?

Of course no one in the media will call him on it. They have all compliantly received their lobotomies.

And now they are after YOU!

In chapter 4 of our book, The Blueprint: Obama's Plan to Subvert the Constitution and Build an Imperial Presidency, my coauthor Ken Blackwell and I make the point that Team Obama would try to pull a fast one when it comes to Obamacare's individual mandate that everyone reading this blog post needs to buy health insurance, or be subject to a penalty payable to your good friends at the IRS.

Ken and I first made this argument in a column we coauthored with Senator Orrin Hatch in the Wall Street Journal back in January. Now this issue has suddenly exploded back into the news.

For months, Team Obama has been saying that the individual mandate is authorized by Congress' power to regulate interstate commerce found in the Commerce Clause. We explain in the book why that argument is a loser in court, and that the White House would have to pull a bait-and-switch and suddenly argue that the mandate is a tax (violating Obama's promise not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $250K per year).

Looks like we were right. In their first filing against the multi-state lawsuit challenging Obamacare, Team Obama is now arguing that the individual mandate is… a tax.
If you read chapter 4 of our book, though, after we explain how the mandate is not authorized by the Commerce Clause, we then go on to explain how it is also unconstitutional if it's a tax.

The Government is taking over industries, over regulating, and generally expanding like a bloated stinking fish.  Obama stinking fish

After forcing their healthcare upon us, they are gunning for more of the same.  In the cooker now: another crappy climate bill, which really is another taxation.

What happened to the no one's taxes will go up "one single dime"?  I know I am paying more for all sorts of goods and services because of his ego and hubris.  And it will get lots worse folks. Lots worse.

Senators Lindsey Graham and Joseph Lieberman outlined U.S. climate-change legislation that would have power companies buy and sell pollution rights in a carbon market and force oil companies to pay fixed fees for emissions.

While the bill is "a work in progress" and won’t be ready until next month, emissions from utilities will be regulated through a restricted trading system for pollution rights.

The whole thing is asinine and especially so since the planet has been COOLING for the past 15 years.

Is no one else pissed off about this crap?

Climate Crap Links

So Al Gore, the debate is NOT over. While you got fat off this hype you fed us, the free ride is OVER! Talk about Fat Cats!

Suppressed Climate Report (shocker!)

Demand Obama and all his cronies stop that insane taxation policy on energy. Do you really want your electric rates to "skyrocket" as Obama promised?

There is NO Global Warming, yet we are still in the Looking Glass world where climate terrorists are demanding we pay "climate debt". There is no climate debt, so shut up.

And yet it still continues. The Obfuscation and Obnubilation.

The IPCC Lies.

And let's not forget the stupid ideas they are really considering!

Lying Words

Regardless of that Re-Wording game the Dems play — you know, like Acorn changing their name and hoping we won't notice :|

Same play, different day with the Health Care bill, that other Stimulus (er, jobs) Bill, and the question of Taxes, um, "revenue"…
