In my previous post I mentioned that pushing for the Fair Tax plan.......the one that Neal Boortz co-authored........is one of my New Years resolutions. No sooner had I written that and posted it on the blog, I checked my email and lo and behold there was the following letter in my inbox:
Dear XXXXX,
This winter has seen big early blizzards and ice storms in the mid- and northwest, low elevation snow packs in the western mountains, snow in Houston, and warmer, wetter weather than usual in Florida and parts of the Southeast. These severe and unusual weather patterns seem to mirror the fiscal storm that has swept across the entire nation.
The economy -- and the desperate need for real growth that will bring jobs once again to the most productive workers in the world -- should unite us no matter where we live. But as worried as we all are, the nation remains fractured over whether to spend even more money to dig out of this economic hole we’re in, or whether that spending makes the hole even deeper.
We FairTaxers know there is a better way -- a way back to health and an American economic boom that will last generations.
Once upon a time the idea of spending trillions of dollars was almost unthinkable. This year, we have seen our leaders throwing around hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars like it was monopoly money. It's not "play money."
Where is that money coming from?
It is both borrowed from foreign nations and private investors, and it is being printed hand-over-fist at the Federal Reserve. The loans from other nations and investors are being secured with promises of taxes on you, your children, their children, and their children. Our national debt now totals more than $500,000 per American household.
To make matters even worse, the Federal Reserve’s “printing press” dollars are now being used to buy US Treasury notes -- from ourselves!
It is a dangerous and unsustainable path that must change. We must change the direction our government has taken, or our best days as a nation are behind us.
A “Happy New Year” this year must mean a re-dedication to advancing the FairTax with even more intensity than ever before. Our nation needs the FairTax and our nation needs us. Our voices must be clear, determined, and persuasive so that millions of Americans join our essential cause.
We begin this new year with a call on Congress to hold hearings on the FairTax. We are “petitioning our government for a redress of grievances” -- one of the citizen tools bequeathed to us by our founding fathers.
If you have not already, please sign the petition to Charlie Rangel, Chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, right now.
Equally as important, ask your friends, colleagues, family and neighbors to join us in winning a hearing on the most important change in government public policy in a century.
If you have not already, e-mail the link for this petition to your friends today: www.fairtax.org/hearing.
Wish them a better coming year than the one we have just endured. Let them know that together we can create a new era of American growth that will last generations with the FairTax.
Tell them that the FairTax is the fastest and smartest path to more jobs, a better standard of living, and a better future for our children and their children.
Let everyone you meet know about how the FairTax will pull trillions of dollars into the country -- not out of taxpayer pockets -- from offshore. That means more jobs, better jobs, better wages, and better benefits.
Let everyone you know understand that the FairTax also brings taxes and the cost of government into the light of day so that we can end irresponsible and destructive borrowing and spending in Washington.
Our best days can still be ahead of our nation -- if we act together now.
With your help, this will be the year of the FairTax.
Happy New Year.
Ken Hoagland Chairman, FairTax National Victory Campaign
By sharing this letter here, it looks like I am off to a good start with my New Years resolutions.......but more importantly........I want US citizen that happens to read this to take note. Please do some research about the Fair Tax plan and perhaps you will understand why it is that I am all for it and why I firmly believe that you should be too. Once you realize that its time has come.....then I urge you to start talking about it to your friends and neighbors and take action yourselves. Otherwise..........this debt that continues to pile up upon our children and grandchildren will never go away.........ever.
I find myself accumulating certain thoughts about stuff and I have to get some of it off my chest,.....so here we go.........
As taxpayers, each and every one of you should be sick of the way things are. It's about time that each of you take action and let your voice be heard. NOW is the time for the FAIR TAX and get rid of the ridiculous tax system we have currently. Unfortunately, neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are entertaining the Fair Tax plan. This means that you need to tell them. Unfortunately, the politicians, even though there may be overwhelming outcry, will usually vote or act in the complete opposite of their constituents. This makes you wonder just WHO their "constituents" really are.
Case in point.....the Bailout of Wall Street. Where is OUR bailout?
If you or I rob someone, there are tremendous odds that we will be fully prosecuted when caught. When politicians rob us, nothing happens to them as a result......they were just doing their jobs.........imagine that!.........just doing their jobs. Well, they are not doing things right by any one of us. The overwhelming majority of politicians have continually worked against the people. It is about time that we take back control of things. If we do not..........we are doomed.
If you are not registered to vote and you just sit on your ass on election day, YOU are a major part of the problem. I would agree with you however, if you said "There isn't anyone worth voting for." The problem with that, though, is we need to think outside the box. The candidates may not be the best possible folks to elect, yet, each of us need to vote for ALL of us. You wouldn't be voting for the politician, you would be voting for YOU. If that sounds confusing, it is. We have so many issues to deal with.....crisis after crisis. In the bigger picture, you might want to think about certain main underlying issues that, if those are not dealt with NOW, all of the other issues are moot.
In case you haven't noticed, our politicians have taken huge steps towards embracing Socialism. This must be stopped in it's tracks. This issue alone should be enough reason to vote AGAINST Barack Obama and vote FOR John McCain. Some of you might say that we have to choose the lesser of two evils.........I might agree with that since I cannot justify voting for anyone completely evil.
Just think how out of control the politicians have become. Did anyone notice that your Senators and Representatives are supposedly acting and reflecting the people of their respective States? Ha!.........I cannot come up with one thing my own Senators have done for me .......ever. But I can CAN come up with tons of stuff that they have done TO me and you. Consider back during the Democratic Primary..........remember?......Hillary Clinton was battling Obama.........and she overwhelmingly was supported by the Democrat people in the State Of West Virginia. Even though she whooped Obama's butt in West Virginia, that ancient moron.......you know the one.......the old, blubbering, senile, career politician Robert Byrd gets on tv and announces that he supports Obama. What?
Again, when the people were against the bailout....overwhelmingly...........the politicians, overwhelmingly voted for it. Now I am thinking that something is very amiss here. Is it that the overwhelming majority of people are morons?........or is it that the overwhelming majority of politicians are morons? Take your pick............
Barney Frank...........Can somebody please explain to me how this fat blubbering, toothless moron, not only gets elected......but gets appointed to serious positions of power and control, and is NEVER held accountable for his contributions to the destruction of our economy? It's about time that people of the ilk of Barney Frank are thrown in jail for their crimes. At the very least, let's get him out of office and let him go to work for his money.
Remember?........I tried to warn everyone a long time ago when the Democrats took control of the House and the Senate. Pelosi and Hoyer have done zilch in the two years they have led.....until now. Their first action is the bailout........and the majority of the people were against that. I do not need to see any more. Let's vote these morons out of office.
So who am I going to vote for?
Arrrggghhh. Right now, the only breath of fresh air to enter the scene is Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin. I am willing to give her an opportunity to get her foot in the door to try to make changes. Of course, she would only be the Vice-President and be limited to her abilities, but it would be a step in the right direction. Obama is out of the question, he may be a relatively new face on the scene, but he is a Socialist. I cannot trust him one bit. He offers "Change" alright.
Third Party candidates?......hmmm......they are tempting.......but only because they would upset the cart. Problem with them is, not one of them stands out in any way , shape, or form. Perhaps by the time the next election comes around, maybe there will be someone that steps forth.
So......I am left with John McCain. I like McCain.....always did. I do not always agree with him and I don't like the idea that he is older than the hills.........but.........I think McCain has the ability to really change some things.
My vote goes for McCain and Palin.
Regardless of what happens......it is still the End Of The World!.....hehehe.
But seriously.........that time is soon.....and I surely wouldn't want to get to that day of judgement after having sat on my ass and not even bother to vote to make things better and hold politicians accountable and then get asked the question "What have you done to take care of the world that I loved so much?"
Let's face it, we are doomed. It appears that to the media, the coming primary elections are the most important thing since the invention of the wheel. Actually, it isn't.........but it certainly should have everyone's attention. Maybe you haven't noticed.......but these morons that the political machines have coughed up to be the cream of their respective crops, may well be the very worst that have ever had the privelege to run for the highest office in the land.
First.......let's take a gander at the Democrats that "want YOU to vote for them"..........hehehe.......as if your vote actually counts.
Barack Obama.............what?.....Jesse or Rev. Al not available this round? If this is the very best black American the democrats can come up with.......well.......no thanks. Either Obama is the antichrist, or he is simply in there for the black vote. You had to know that Oprah would back him.
Hillary Clinton.............oh for Christ's sake!........they have GOT to be kidding........this is some kind of a joke..............they cannot be serious........if they are serious, it is all over, folks! If this bulldyke gets elected, then there is absolutely no hope for us............wake up, people!
Joe Biden..........hehehe..........okay, very funny.......he is in there for the bit of humor........and he IS funny, I will give him that.
John Edwards.............my guess is that he might attract the gay vote............this blinking hair-do moron doesn't deserve the waste of airtime on television........then again, they probably caved into letting him run so that he won't file suit against them for millions.
Christopher Dodd............there is one thing that gets me going, and that is when I hear a career politician like he is, spout about how the US needs a president with experience.........and of course, Dodd has something like 30 years of experience as a politician..............hmmmm.......he has had all of that time and I still cannot think of one good thing he has done for the country.
Bill Richardson..............hmmm......such an American name, ain't it? His real name is probably Pedro Hernandez, but they don't want you to think he is a good pitcher.
Dennis Kucinich.............my guess is that by having a moron like him on the slate, it makes all of the above look appealing. The democrats ought to be ashamed of themselves.
So.......whom shall you choose? Forget about it........your vote won't count anyway........they already know who is destined to be the leader of our demise.
And now the Republicans...........
John McCain.............he has been able to cash in on his being a survivor as a POW for many many years...............okay, now go away and let someone else have at it. Career politicians need to go away. He hasn't a chance.
Mitt Romney............they ain't fooling me, he is actually a Democrat. Furthermore, he is a Mormon.............how can anyone vote for a man that actually believes that there is an angel named MORONi..........and that there is a need for holy underwear?
Rudy Giuliani............let's face it.......he is yet another career politician..........but he did appear to get some things done in his lifetime.
Mike Huckabee............how could anyone forget that name?...........my guess is that the Republicans needed to show that they also can come up with a moron from Arkansas. Actually, though, one thing Huckabee has going for him is the Fair Tax..........that has my attention. That is a pretty damn good bone to toss my way.
Duncan Hunter..............seems like the angry candidate.........which may well be a good thing. We haven't had that kind of candidate since Reagan.
Fred Thompson.............first off, he is way too old.......secondly, everyone wants him back on Law & Order.
Ron Paul...............hmmm, two first names.............obviously, he is in there to provide a taste of extremes...............and he may be able to get some bucks donated for his campaign, but that money will simply go into the Republican party coffers after he is eliminated. If by chance he did win the nomination............the Democrats will come out looking rather moderate compared to him.
So whom shall you choose?
Seriously.............your vote does not matter.........both parties have it all planned already........no matter if you vote Republican or Democrat. The sham that this alleged two-party system has put upon the good people of the US needs to come to an end.........if not, then it will be the end of our world as we know it. The last thing they want is for us to come up with our own candidates. It would ruin their reign.
To sum it up............we are doomed.
..........but I really, really like that Fair Tax plan.
In my previous post I mentioned that pushing for the Fair Tax plan.......the one that Neal Boortz co-authored........is one of my New Years resolutions.
