Soak The Rich – Lose The Rich

With the Obama administration determined to expand government under the guise of “jobs” and “stimulus,” more than ever, America is divided between the contributors and working, productive members of society, and the takers, welfare, entitlement folks.

 

Being “rich” according to America’s leftists, is anyone who operates a small business, drives a nicce car, lives in a nice house… or works in the private sector. A ‘rich” government employee is just fine with leftists. They ought to feel right at home in California, where our fire fighters make $114,000 annually, and thousands of State Workers make more than $300,000 annually, and the private sector is shrinking. Obama is creating a permanent welfare state of mindless fembot followers, while Conservatives are desperately trying to get out the message that providing for yourself is far more rewarding.

 

Finally, statistics are being revealed to prove that high-tax states are losing 1,100 residents everyday, while low-tax states are enjoying an 89% increase in jobs. Duh? Do you think there is some connection?

 

Stephen Moore and Arthur Laffer wrote a fantastic article in the Wall Street Journal titled “Soak the Rich, Lose the Rich:” http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124260067214828295.html

 

It is a must-read and a must pass-along! And please, send it to college aged kids. We’ve got to end the entitlement mentality.

Nancy Pelosi’s “Most Ethical Congress”

Does everyone remember in 2006 when Nancy Pelosi stated that her Congress would be the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history.”  She described the vote as a mandate “to restore stability and bipartisanship” in Washington and for “a new direction” in the war in Iraq.” “The American people voted to restore integrity and honesty in Washington, D.C., and the Democrats intend to lead ,” Pelosi said.

 

Her disreputible, lying, cheating tactics in the past few years have demonstrated that Pelosi is not only a prevaricating, double-dealing dullard, she is a political hack.

 

Today, she also demonstrated that she’s not even a good liar. Under strong attack from Republicans, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused the CIA and Bush administration of misleading her about waterboarding detainees in the war on terror and sharply rebutted claims she was complicit in the method’s use.” To the contrary … we were told explicitly that waterboarding was not being used,” she told reporters, referring to a formal CIA briefing she received in the fall of 2002. Pelosi said she subsequently learned that other lawmakers were told several months later by the CIA about the use of waterboarding.

“I wasn’t briefed, I was informed that somebody else had been briefed about it,” she said. (AP, Yahoo News)  HERE

 

She’s not nearly as good as either of the Clintons. “I wasn’t briefed” and I wasn’t informed” is not nearly as good as Bill Clinton’s “It depends on what the meaning of the words ‘is’ is.” ?”

   

After claiming that the CIA lied about methods used during interrogation, I wondered what Geroge Tenant might have to say.

 

How is it that Nancy was misled by someone who she claimed was stupid? Where does that leave Nancy?  Stupendously incompetent or a second-rate Liar or both?Since Hillary Clinton used the same excuse of being “misled” by President Bush on the Weapons of Mass Destruction issue, it appears that George Bush was smarter that any Democrat in congress.

Nancy Pelosi has become a giant liability to the Democrats. Bets are on as to how long Obama will allow her to stay. Will he send her on another world tour? Will he send her packing? Frankly, I hope she is allowed to stay. She provides so much entertainment while destroying our country.

 

Thank goodness that Democrats don’t last long in the White House – without completely discrediting themselves, but only after causing irreparable damage.
