WTH is an “income tax” anyway?

what does that company and your paycheck have to do with th federal government, or state government?

and if the 8 percent tax on raw materials is really for that, then why is there a tax on a used, used, used car?

Defund Dept of Education, Dept of Labor, Dept of Energy.

Start to limit transfers of funds to states and localities.

If we can wean States and Cities off of the Federal teat then we have won more than half the battle.

Do not need such an act. Look at what happened to the money with the last one! True conservative would just cut taxes and regulations. This alone would get business started!

That's not punishment; that's a reward.

"A liberal's paradise would be a place where everybody has guaranteed employment, free comprehensive healthcare, free education, free food, free housing, free clothing, free utilities, and only law enforcement has guns."

And believe it or not, such a place does indeed already exist: It's called Prison."

To: Citizen Zed; All

GET THE DAMN UNIONS OUT OF EVERY (AND I MEAN EVERY) GOVERNMENT OFFICE.

These unions take money from every government worker, and then they donate it to the DEMOCRATS. This has got to stop.

These unions will not allow people to be fired; no matter how criminal or heinous their malfeasance. We have 2 people who were working at the VA who mishandled thousands of dollars, and the VA was just forced to reinstate them.

It’s no wonder that our military are not being properly cared for .. there’s nobody really taking care of them, because the unions are taking care of the employees and seeing to it that no matter how lousy a VA employee is, they will not be punished.

The next worse location for unions is in our schools. Teachers are kept on staff, while they are incapable of teaching the subject for which they have been hired. The unions demand certain rules; *zero tolerance*, co-habitation bathrooms, no flying of the American flag, no observance of Christmas, no birthday parties (with cupcakes), no military anything. Then, they teach sexual lessons for children who are way too young to really understand what it’s all about (and pass out condoms).

And, because of the unions (run by DemocRATS), there is no such thing as teaching the children about the founding of this country; who we are as a people; why our founding and our religious liberty are important.

The children of today are the future of our tomorrow. If we don’t stop this nightmare at our schools .. America will no longer exist; the reason is because the unions will force the teaching of false doctrine; false religions, and our children will not have any knowledge of what America is or was or could be.

I recently purchased the Rush Limbaugh set of books about the founding of America. There are 3 so far. I found that some of the information I learned in school was even better than what I remembered. It made me proud to be an American. The children who call Rush’s program are excited to read about America; they are proud to live in America.

Why don’t we have that kind of teaching for our children? When are we going to get involved in our schools and find out what is really going on there; exactly what are our children learning? You will be shocked to find out. Most everything is based on FEELING and the children are never taught how to think critically. This is why they are more interested in worshiping celebrities instead of reading about amazing inventions created in America.

We need to hold accountable the Teacher’s unions and the NEA for their collusion in the destruction of truthful learning in our schools.

Well, it’s after midnight, so I’ll put my soapbox aside until tomorrow (maybe).

GET UNIONS OUT OF GOVERNMENT !!!!!

First item: Reenact Glass-Steigal separating commercial banks from investment banks. Let investment banks gamble with their own money not their depositors.
