Forget the politically deadly reparations, they are just going to use EVERY Federal agency to redistribute the wealth to their core constituency - the “Un-Taxed.” - in other words - “Democrat Voter.”

More unconstitutional wealth redistribution.

But then, someone has to pay for the Reparations Stimulus package.

On top of the burden of funding non-productive and irresponsible folks who will get all the benefit of my tax dollars, I can look forward to paying additionally for energy, which will incorporate their costs to meet the taxes they must submit to The Messiah and the Socialist crowd in D.C.

Didn't you hear about the wonderful tax break the Kenyan in Chief just gave you??? Geez...what're you gonna do, blow all of that $30 a month on other necessities?

I was invited by a friend to a lunch with a Democrat this week - an influential one. Six words sum it up:

Nationalize banks, gasoline tax, carbon tax.

That was on Tuesday. The whole agenda played out during the week.

Please consider asking your state legislature to call a constitutional convention to:

1. Ratification of an amendment repealing the 16th amendment.

2. Grant states sole responsibility for the collection of taxes from individual citizens and business except for tariffs.

3. Restrict congress from creating any law or taxes not specifically related to granted authorities as defined by the constitution.

Currently approximately 2/3 of the States are Red States. A 3/4ths majority is what would be required to ratify the constitution but it is doable!

The 16th amendment gave birth to the Federal Government monster and the states are the ONLY entity that can possibly reign in the feds.

If it can be repealed we will have a much better chance of stopping the destruction of America. As part of the act of repeal, congress may not create any law not specifically related to its constitutionally authority.

Now is the time. The polls indicate a very low congressional approval? Most everyone agrees that Congress has overstepped its mandate considerably.

Almost half of the state legislatures are considering or have representatives preparing to introduce resolutions which reassert the principles of the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution and the idea that federal power is strictly limited to specific areas detailed in the Constitution and that all other governmental authority rests with the states.

Now is the time!!

All this crap will be passed onto customers. Wonder if all the Obamatons thought this is what they were voting for?

Turns out the hope and change from the campaign is turning out to be “I hope I have some change left” after Obama is done raping my wallet.

A new term from the Obama administration: Wallet rape. Say it with me: WALLET RAPE

Obama would have the government use most of the revenues for relief to families to offset higher utility bills and related expenses.

Oh I really believe that !

See Section 1776 Para. 666.43 Subsection(z) of the above mention CC Act of March 2009 (or maybe April). It is included...

So if I'm reading this right, the "polluters" can continue "polluting" the planet as long as they pay the U.S. Government to do it? This is very reminiscent of the "big tobacco" scam. "Secondhand smoke" is supposedly killing people but it's okay to continue killing them as long as you pay a tax to the government to cover the costs of Communist healthcare.

Hey America! Time to wake up!

We’re already *this close* to a tax revolt in this country. This would be the straw that broke the camel’s back...

2 years of Obama, people will have had enough of "change" that will result in a 60+ seat House landslide loss for the rats.

Can see that the piddly “Tax relief” they’re supposedly putting in pay checks is going to go a long way toward paying that $5000...and the 101 other taxes 0’s gonna dump on us.
