“‘We have built a movement over these last months and now this movement , it’s time for its crescendo,’ de Blasio told the boisterous crowd. ‘It’s time for it to be felt here in Albany….’

…‘I’ve said time and time again, asking those who’ve done very well, asking those who are wealthy, who make a half million or more to do just a little more so our children can succeed just a little more,’ he said. ‘That’s just plain fair….’”

Sandinista Bill’s agenda ranks down there with “If you like your healthcare plan, you can you’re your healthcare plan.”

The efforts of Sandinista Bill in a half-full armory in Albany today, while it should not be underestimated, paled in comparison to Andrew Cuomo’s pro-charter school speech and the crowd of ten thousand plus crowd down the street at the pro-charter school rally.

As reported by the NYT,

“…Cuomo’s decision to speak at the rally brought the issue center stage, sapping some of the attention from Mr. de Blasio’s rally, and set up yet another political battle between the new mayor and the governor — one that might have wider national implications since the efficacy of charter schools is a subject of debate across the country….”

“debate across the country” – like Obamacare?

Cuomo did meet with de Blasio this afternoon for about an hour this afternoon. De Blasio described the meeting as “productive” but the two have yet to reach a resolution on de Blasio’s taxing the rich and universal pre-k agenda.

“‘I don’t want to get into the details of the private conversation I had with the governor,’ he said, noting the pair had covered a range of topics, including homelessness, HIV and AIDS services, Sandy recovery and hospitals–‘and of course we talked about pre-K and after-school.’

‘I would characterize it as a very productive meeting–obviously a long meeting. A productive meeting,’ he said….”

Commie Bill is such a B.S. artist.

While Progressives across the country have all eyes on the Communist experiment aka New York City, Republicans, minus the Progressive Republican establishment may very well have an opening here.

Are you paying attention, GOP?????

That being said, while I can’t stand Cuomo, de Blasio is despicable.

So how do you feel? Let’s hear it.

About the latest job recovery report, credit must be duly given to where it is due – the Right

Fair Tax, IRS, IRS Tax Code, Tax Increases, Taxed Enough Already, Taxes, Taxing the Wealthy

Democrats will try to take credit for this report and no doubt, Odummer must be totally giddy; but I say not so fast Ohdumbone.  If you recall, the right had to kick the shellacked one in the butt to get him to come along nicely with the Bush tax extensions.  The fact is that even after the shellacking, Ohdumbone fought the Bush tax extensions tooth and nail.

TOWNHALL FINANCE

“….here’s the sublime irony. The wake-up in job creation is a function of Republican policy. After all, for two years the Obama Democrats spent themselves into oblivion, with over $1 trillion of so-called big-government stimulus. Didn’t work. By the end of last year, that failed stimulus wore off, and it was replaced by Republican tax cuts.

Remember that in mid-December, after his election shellacking, President Obama signed a deal that extended the Bush tax rates across the board. The top marginal rate stayed at 35 percent. Investment tax rates for cap-gains and dividends held at 15 percent. Most business people I know — folks who work in both large and small companies — welcomed the tax-rate freeze as a sign that maybe the war against growth, capital formation, and small business was either coming to an end or at least a two-year truce.

So, presto, the jobs numbers start jumping in the new low-tax year….”

Moreover, in spite of the gains, Democrats are still trying to force those earning the highest income in the country to foot the bill.

In the meantime, the liar in chief will credit his less than brilliant mind for the slight turnaround.

“The GOP also should be on the warpath for full-fledged corporate-tax-rate reduction. Get rid of the GE loopholes and knock the rate down to 15 percent. As they continue to advance on the spending-cut front, Republicans should balance out their message with strong pro-growth tax cuts.”

No one is arguing that we should not get rid of the federal income tax and abolish the IRS.  The IRS is worst than banks.  They are government run loan sharks.

However, I am not sold on the Fair Tax.

For starters, some politicians are talking a big game when it comes to the Fair Tax, but the feds are not about to give up their golden egg (the IRS loan sharks).

Secondly, a Fair Tax would put countless federal workers out of jobs, which I, of course, do not find a problem.

Third, tax lawyers, accountants and their lobbyists would never stand for it.  Passage of a fair tax would all but put tax lawyers out of business.

Fourth, the Fair Tax would at first have to be implemented at an extremely higher rate than the 23% dream number being touted to begin dealing with our debt and then it would increase from there as time went on.

While not implying that the Fair Tax would get that high (can it???), I know what it is to have 55 to 60% of my paycheck go to taxes and having to work an additional fifteen hours to make up for those taxes in order to meet my monthly bills.

We would be in effect creating a monster.

It sounds to me like Americans would be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. No thank you.

Shocker Is Oprah Winfrey a Tea Partier — Glenn Beck

Beck is only half-right.  Oprah does get it.  However, Glenn has missed something here.  Oprah admitting that she hated signing over checks to the IRS was just being honest.

On the one hand, many Americans have no problems writing checks to the IRS.  On the other hand, there are those on the left AND the right who despise writing checks to the IRS.  Some are just more honest about it than others.  Many on the left and right who write checks to the IRS do so without bitching but it is not for lack of wanting to.

Now back to Oprah.  First off, Oprah has a fan base that she must play to when speaking publicly.  She is no different from any other celebrity, actor, singer, artist, etc.  They have their fan base and even if they do not share the same values as their fans, they often play up to their base in order to maintain their success and popularity.

Case in point, there are many Black and Latino actors, comedians, musical artists out there whose fan base is extremely liberal.  Some of these artists/celebrities are Progressives themselves while many are not.  Those who are not liberals keep their political and social standings to themselves, as they are entitled.

Where am I going with this?

Many famous Black and Latino American artists were once liberals.  However, money, power, education, success, life and paying higher taxes have enlightened them.

Some of these artists eventually reach the conclusion that being a liberal is not the be all to end all but they cannot afford to share such revelations without the threat of losing their fan base, lifestyle, money and acclaim.  Therefore, they play the game.

I am not fitting Oprah into this mold.  I am just stating a fact.  All is never as it appears to be which is why we must remain vigilant and focus on both hands at all times.

House Passes H.R. 4853 aka Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2010

Late last night, the House voted 277 to 148 in favor of passing H.R. 4853 extending Bush tax rates for two years, unemployment benefits for 13 months and cutting the social security payroll tax for two years.

Yeas votes:  Democrats, 139, Republicans, 138

No votes:  112 Democrats, 36 Republicans

Yesterday, the Senate approved the $858 billion tax plan, by a vote of 81 to 19.

While the legislation will guarantee unemployed workers up to 99 weeks of jobless benefits through the end of next year, said extension of benefits will go only to individuals who have been laid off more than 26 weeks but less than 99.  Those who have reached the 99-week limit for jobless benefits will receive no additional benefits.

FOX NEWS

“At the insistence of Republicans, the plan includes an estate tax that would allow the first $10 million of a couple’s estate to pass to heirs without taxation. The balance would be subject to a 35 percent tax rate.

Many House Democrats wanted a higher estate tax, one that would allow couples to pass only $7 million tax-free, taxing anything above that amount at a 45 percent rate. They argued that the higher estate tax would affect only 6,600 of the wealthiest estates in 2011 and would save $23 billion over two years.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called the estate tax the “most egregious provision” in the bill and held a vote that would have imposed the higher estate tax. It failed, 194-233.

Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said he thought the White House could have gotten a better deal….”

Whining a$$ Progressives despise Democracy and justice prevailing.

House Democrat Says “F**k the President” and the Cover Up Begins

Someone says “f**k the President” and with the assistance of the lame stream media, Progressive propaganda tool, the cover up Democrats immediately takes form.

Rep. Shelley Berkley’s (D-NV) who attended yesterday’s Democratic House Caucus was making a speech in defense of the deal negotiated by Barack Obama when someone muttered aloud, “f**k the President.”

When questioned about the venomous outburst, Berkley responded, “I don’t think the curse word was directed at me.”

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Which Democrat Said: ‘F**k the President?’, posted with vodpod

No bitch, it was not.  The words, “f**k the President” was directed at Barack Obama aka POTUS and it matters not one iota that the president was not present to receive the message personally.  The way Progressives have attacked Obama this week leaves no doubt that the message was intended for Obama.

Back flash to the 2009 Joe Wilson incident, it took only a few hours for the world to find out who shouted, “You lie.” However, fast forward to a year later and 24 hours after a Progressive in a room with a small group frustratingly mutters “f**k the president,” during a heated debate”, Americans are still in the dark as to the name of the guilty party.

ROLL CALL

“The frustration with President Barack Obama over his tax cut compromise was palpable and even profane at Thursday’s House Democratic Caucus meeting.

One unidentified lawmaker went so far as to mutter ‘f— the president’ while Rep. Shelley Berkley was defending the package the president negotiated with Republicans. Berkley confirmed the incident, although she declined to name the specific lawmaker.

‘It wasn’t loud,’ the Nevada Democrat said. ‘It was just expressing frustration from a very frustrated Member.’

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.) was also overheard saying that ‘we can’t trust him’ not to cave to Republicans and extend the tax cuts again in two years, according to a Democratic source.

The anger aimed at the bill was widespread. As Democrats moved to block the bill from coming up on the floor, chants of ‘Just say no!’ could be heard by reporters outside the room.

Berkley is one of the few Democrats publicly supporting the package. While she said it wasn’t necessarily how she would have written it, the bill should go forward in her estimation because it is ‘chock full’ of tax cuts that will help the working class in her state.

‘I’m not willing to play Russian roulette to see who blinks first,’ Berkley said.”
