"From each according to his ability..."

...to each according to his needs.

From the Democrat VP candidate...

In an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America," Biden said wealthier taxpayers would indeed pay more under the proposals of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Under his plan, people earning more than $250,000 a year would pay more in taxes while those earning less — the vast majority of taxpayers — would receive a tax cut.
"We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people," Biden said. Of those who would pay more, he said: "It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."


This brings to mind 2 obvious questions...
1- Take from whom?
2- How do you put back that what which was never removed?

What this clown is advocating is unabashed reditribution of wealth, classic marxism. While taxing "the rich" sounds so robinhood, what many americans unfortunately do not understand is the heavy and disproportionate percentage those "rich" already pay.

Raising taxes is not patriotic, it's economically irresponsible.

Obama lies...50 and counting

I looked around for these and found many sites with the top 10 then a link...I wanted to put them all in one place. Admitedly this is not my own work. I would credit the writer if I knew him/her, but since I don't I know who it is I'll just say "Thanks".
(and I researched about 1/2 of these and they were accurate which means I fact checked 1200% more than the mainstrseam media would have)

1.) Selma Got Me Born - LIAR, your parents felt safe enough to have you in1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965.

2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - LIAR, he was a privileged, well educatedyouth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

According to the New York Times: "I am a strong believer of the Islamic faith," Ms. Obama, 85, said in a recent interview in Kenya.' Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.

6.) My Name is African Swahili - LIAR, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.

24.) I Took On The Asbestos Altgeld Gardens Mess - LIAR, you were part of a large group of people who remedied Altgeld Gardens. You failed to mention anyone else but yourself, in your books.

25.) My Economics Bill Will Help America - LIAR, your 111 economic policies were just combined into a proposal which lost 99-0, and even YOU voted against your own bill.

26.) I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois - LIAR, even your own supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part.

48.) I Am As Patriotic As Anyone - LIAR, you won't wear a flag pin and you don't put your hand over your heart during the Anthem. There is a Cuban Flag with Che Guevara Displayed at Barack Obama Campaign Office which you allow to be displayed. You voted against making english the official language of the United States. You voted to give illegal aliens social security benefits, which would bankrupt the social security system for Americans legally paying into it.

Taxes...


It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories below think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. If Obama or Hillary are elected, they both say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories below can't wait for it to happen. This is like the movie The Sting with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened.



Taxes under Clinton 1999
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750

Taxes under Bush 2008
Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $31,250

Cost of War...put into perspective

You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much?

Think on this...
1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year by state governments.
reference
2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens.
reference
3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
reference
4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English!
reference
5 $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
reference
6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens.
reference
7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens.
reference
8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare & social services by the American taxpayers.
reference
9. $200 Billion Dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.
reference
10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US
reference
11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana, crossed into the U. S from the Southern border.
reference
12. The National Policy Institute, 'estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.'
reference
13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin.
reference
14. 'The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States '
reference

The total cost is a whopping $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.

Want change?

Remember the election in 2006? Thought you might like to read the following:
2005
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.70 a gallon
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase)
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses)
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

The most significant accomplishment by the Democrat controlled Congress in 2007:
THEY VOTED TO INCREASE THEIR PAY

Remember it's Congress that makes law not the President. He has to work with what's handed to him.

Quote of the Day........'My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it.' -- Barack Obama
