He Lit My Fuse

I just read a headline about a moron who claimed the Republican tax plan will be a Republican only fix. Probably because most Democrats don’t pay taxes dummy. How can you benefit from a tax cut if you don’t pay taxes?

There is Hope For America

This kid makes more sense than the 535 in charge. He makes a point that is so simple even an old guy like me can understand it. With kids like this coming up, we don’t have to worry about what kind of country we are leaving for them.

A Direct Order From the Oval

IMG_0562

Grumpa Joe Takes Over the Oval With Bic In Hand and Phone at Ear While Assuming Official Presidential Posture.

Grumpa Joe took over the Oval Office this week and assumed command of the country. Using his trusty Bic pen he signed Executive Order EO-987654213 directing all people who have jobs to take the rest of the summer off. His logic: since workers-bees support the non-working half of the country they deserve a nice long rest. The summer  promises beautiful, long, hot, sultry days perfect for lounging around the pool, reading a book in an air-conditioned space, or hanging your feet over the edge of a row-boat swishing  your toes in the warm water while swilling a frosty beverage and drowning a worm hoping a fish will swallow the bait.

At the same time GJ used his Bic to sign the order, he used his 1990’s vintage phone to call Texas Governor Rick Perry to remind him to never forget that a simple transposition of two letters in the name Texas changes it to Taxes. He urged the governor to continue recruiting business to Texas so the 10 percent growth rate can continue unimpaired. GJ suggested he go to Illinois to kill the socialist government of Governor Pat Quinn and shadow governor Madigan by stealing very business still in the state. Illinois and every other socialist state must be killed to save the country.

GJ next called Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, and Ohio Governor John Kasich and urged them to do the same. If all conservative governors steal the business from the socialist states there will be little the machine politicians can do to pay for social programs except to extort heavier taxes from their subjects. If the over-taxed residents also flee to the conservative states for jobs, the socialist governors will have to begin taxing their administrations to pay salaries. Genius isn’t it?

Illinois, the Worst State in the USA

I received this letter from my Illinois State  Representative, Rene Kosel today. She explains why our state is in such dire straights. Businesses continue to leave the state, our schools are the worst, our largest city, Chicago, is a murder capital,  our tax is higher than most states, and yet our socialist Democrat Governor and legislators continue to spend-spend-spend. For all practical purposes, Illinois is a one party state. We have what Obama wants for the country; one party rule. When and where does it stop? It stops this November when we throw the bums out.

They are career politicians who believe it is their responsibility to waste our tax dollars just like Obama. Even the Republicans act like Democrats. They couldn’t make the ballot as a democrat so they changed to become Republicans.   They should all be hanging by the neck in a row leading up the Capital steps.

Dear Friends,

The Democrats are at it again, yesterday the Illinois House of Representatives voted on nearly 80 different appropriation bills for the 2015 budget, a budget that will overspend by nearly $3 billion. Every single Republican in the House, and even several Democrats, voted against this unconstitutional budget.

However, despite bi-partisan opposition to this terrible budget the Democrats were able to narrowly pass all the appropriation bills and move an unbalanced budget to the Senate.

In total, the House Democrats have passed a budget that spends $37.3 billion. Illinois is only expected to bring in $34.49 billion in tax revenue for the year. The budget that the Democrats rammed through the House yesterday overspends by at least $2.8 billion; it could very well go higher.

This is an unbalanced budget and the Democrats are banking on the ‘temporary’ 2011 income tax increase becoming permanent. There are also lump sum appropriations throughout this budget, they are basically handing the Governor piles of cash and allowing him to decide where these taxpayer dollars go. Do we really want to give Governor Quinn another political slush fund?

The income tax increase of January 2011 is set to expire on January 1, 2015. If the income tax increase is not extended or made permanent, personal income tax rates would decrease to 3.75% (still above the 3% prior to 2011) and the corporate tax rate would decrease from 7% to 5.25% (5% prior to 2011 increase).

The Illinois Constitution clearly states that no budget can exceed projected revenues for the year. Without action on the income tax issue, the 2015 budget passed by House Democrats today would exceed revenues by at least $2.8 billion. This is a clear violation of the Illinois Constitution and just poor policy for our state.

Yours in Service,

Renée Kosel

I’m sorry for the lack of a video, but this voice monologue beats any video that could be made on this sensitive subject. No matter if you are a golfer or not you will appreciate the wisdom of this analogy. Listen and be ready to laugh and cry at the same time.
