Howie Carr: Hacks cheer Deval’s ‘vision’
Howie Carr

What more do you need to know? We’re screwed.
And now the tax-fattened hyenas of the hackerama ramp up their campaign of lies and cliches. All the nonprofits who pay no taxes themselves want to pick your pocket.
Yes, the seals all agree, Gov. Patrick has shown “vision.” What kind of vision?
Bold vision.
Why has he shown bold vision? Because there’s a problem with the infrastructure — the “crumbling” infrastructure. And we need an expansion of the transportation system — a “sweeping” expansion. Decisions must be made — tough decisions. Thank God, Gov. Mini-Me has come up with a plan — a long-term plan.
Stop me if you’ve heard this before.
“The people,” Deval said, “want the rail and road services we have laid out.”
So true. How often have you heard people wistfully saying, “If only we had trains running between Pittsfield and New York ...”
As the moonbat gazette gushed yesterday, Deval is trying to “achieve the vision he first presented when he burst onto the political scene ... in 2006.”
You recall Deval’s vision of 2006. He was going to cut everybody’s property taxes. How’d that one work out for you? Apparently that vision wasn’t bold or sweeping enough, so it’s crumbled, you might say, just like the infrastructure. The only bold new vision on display Wednesday night was to raising the income tax a dizzying 19 percent — from 5.25 percent to 6.25 percent.
The same people who’ve already been robbed this month of between 2 and 6 percent of their income by the feds are now looking at another 1 percent paycut. For what? Police details, $130,000-a-year judges who work less than 37 weeks a year, 19,000 EBT cardholders who are about as real as Manti Te’o’s girlfriend ...
The hacks at the State House need your money. It’s not cheap, you know, giving free in-state college tuition to all those illegal aliens. Not to mention the sex-change operations for wife-killers.
And Billy Bulger’s $200,000 pension.
And don’t forget the pensions and full health benefits for all those T employees who retired before they were 45 and then went on to start working on a second hack pension ... in the Probation Department.
“Let’s have a serious, respectful, fact-based debate.”
In moonbat parlance, that means Deval wants a “dialogue.” The Beautiful People are always “willing to listen.” After which they tell you to shut up. If you try to get in a word edgewise, it’s “hate speech.” They have “facts,” you have “anecdotes.”
The door is open, the mind is closed.
