Good information on what the liberal left wishes for.
STOP ME IF YOU'VE HEARD THIS ONE
As you undoubtedly have noticed, the 2008 campaign has, for Democrats, been nothing but new entitlement programs, expansions of old entitlement programs, and tax increases. This is the essence of what it means to be a member of the MoveOn Democrat Party. Create more government dependency, and tax those not dependent on government to pay for it.
Here's a link to a Dick Morris column titled "The Democrats Hidden Tax Plans." When trying to guess what the Democrats want to raise taxes on, Morris suggests the best possible answer is "everything." Here's an excerpt from Morris's column:
Once the Democrats firmly control both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, they will probably:
Raise the top bracket on the income tax back up to 40 percent from its current 35 percent.
Increase the Capital Gains Tax from its current 15 percent to 30 percent or, perhaps, eliminate it entirely and tax these gains as ordinary income (at 40 percent).
Double, triple or perhaps eliminate the ceiling on FICA taxes so that instead of taxing only the first $99,000 of income, the levy covers a much higher portion of earned income.
Repeal much of the rollback in estate taxes passed by Bush.
The combined effect of these increases will be horrific, and will probably trigger a recession. As Election Day 2008 nears, it is easy to anticipate massive sell-offs of stocks and real estate in anticipation of a Democratic increase in capital gains rates.
Remember ... Morris knows these people. He knows how they think. He understands their motivations.
So now we have Charles Rangel, the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, coming out with his tax plan. All he needs to get this thing going is a MoveOn Democrat in the White House. First, of course, is Rangel's plan to soak the rich. You're not a real Democrat if you don't do something to assuage the wealth envy that drives so many of your followers. So right out of the gate he wands a four percent surtax on all incomes over $150,000. When you get to $500,000 there's another six-tents of one percent. He also wants to raise capital gains and dividend taxes on households that make over $200,000 a year. My bet is that the proposal will also include massive Social Security tax increases on the vile rich, with no increase in benefits.
This is how Democrats maintain political power. The formula is ridiculously simple. You raise taxes on the people whose votes you don't need and then spend that money on the people whose votes you do need. In Rangel's plan you will also see increases in entitlement programs for lower income (read "Democrat) voters such as increases in child care "credits" and the hideous Earned Income Tax Credit.
Thanks to the pitifully poor economic education our government most Americans do not understand that the very people Rangel and his Democrat Party pals want to hit with these tax increases are the people who create most of the jobs ... we're talking over 70% here ... for the very people Democrats are pandering to. Many Democrat voters are just fine with this "soak the rich" tax policy because they earnestly (and stupidly) believe that these people making the $200,000 incomes and more are raking all that money in by cheating and stealing. The Democrat education machine has done its job well. Do you think that there is one government school in this country that teaches its students that most small businesses operate as partnerships or limited corporations and that their incomes are shown as personal income for the owners? Do they realize that when the taxes on that person are raised, what is really happening is that taxes on the business are being raised .. and this means less profits, less money to invest in business expansion, and fewer new jobs. Yeah .. you find that school and let me know.
Start making your escape plans folks. It is going to be one helluva ride.
I'd like to know what in the hell constitutes a "terrorist" if this guy isn't one!
MUSLIM ATTACKS MILITARY POLICEMEN
This story just keeps getting weirder and weirder. In Miami a man by the name of Tahmeed Ahmad went to Homestead Air Reserve Base and told guards that he wanted to kill soldiers. He did this while wielding two butcher knives and vodka bottles to use as explosives and chanting ''Death to America."
But don't worry ... authorities say that he is not a terrorist. Whew. Except for the little fact that Ahmad was already on the terror watch list. Instead, Ahmad says that he is "mentally ill." Ahmad's mother says that he had recently been in a mental institution.
But then it gets worse. Ahmad is a government math teacher Miami Central High School. In fact, the government recruited him to teach at Miami-Dade schools.
So let's get this straight. Tahmeed Ahmad (born in Kuwait) is placed on a federal terrorist watch list. He is recruited by government schools to teach math. He assaults military officers saying he wants to kill Americans ... but he is not a terrorist, he is just "mentally ill." Now he is charged with assaulting a U.S. government employee.
Why the hell is this man still alive?
This is really sad. The gay agenda will end up ruining this country if we continue to behave like Western Europe.
SEXUAL EQUALITY REGULATIONS
Vincent and Pauline Matherick are devoted foster parents and have cared for almost 30 children throughout the years. Now the British government is taking away their current foster son because the Mathericks refuse to sign new sexual equality regulations. The couple does not want to sign it because it goes against their Christian faith.
The British government feels that the boy will better taken care of by a government hostel than staying with the Mathericks ... simply because they refuse to teach their child about homosexuality.
Earlier in the year, the County Council's social services department asked the Mathericks to sign a contract, which would implement Labour's new Sexual Orientation Regulations. These regulations are apparently part of the Equality Act of 2006, which makes discrimination on the grounds of sexuality illegal.
The government told the couple that the new regulations require parents to discuss same-sex relationships with children as young as 11, and they are to tell children that gay partnerships are just as acceptable as heterosexual marriages. Regulations could also require parents to take teenagers to gay association meetings.
Now look, folks. I don't care if you're gay, green, Wiccan or what have you. But the fact that the government is going to require parents to teach their kids about anything is absurd.
