N.J. Assembly Millionaires Tax Plan

June 22nd, 2010

I remember discussing something similar with a friend recently.

My wife’s friend came to visit in their RV and we were given a tour of their new motor home. Upon noticing the South Dakota license plate on the RV and knowing the friend and her boyfriend, Larry, were residents of Wisconsin, my brilliant bride inquired to these friends about the license plate.

We both know these two people live on a tight budget. The reply was innocently enough, the taxes were too high in Wisconsin and it was cheaper to register the RV elsewhere!

The conversation turned to taxes and I specifically mentioned the problems with high, punitive taxes and used Maryland’s “millionaire” tax issue as an example. I mentioned the flight of millionaires from Maryland to avoid the tax, proving these punitive taxes do not work.

Well Larry, overhearing the conversation, became very indignant. In anger he shouted, “They need to pay their fair share!”

I immediately thought how hypocritical, here is a man who has basically done the exact same thing, yet is angry because he thinks he is entitled to someone else’s sweat. He himself doesn’t pay his fair share to the state of Wisconsin, but instead pays it to a different state, one in which he does not reside!

You see, Larry is retired and lives on a meager military pension and social security. He has been deluded to think that is is okay to use the government to steal from someone else to support him. I bet (as if I would!) he is a registered Democrat and has voted for pols from the Democratic party all of his life!

Needless to say, I didn’t have the heart to tell the jackass cum brainiac about his faux pas, partly to save the argument with my bride.

His rude awakening is coming! The government’s money supply is finite and will dry up. Those depending on the dole need to make some kind of plan, the day of reckoning is coming. There is no money to keep paying these subsidies, and taxes will soon be so high, that the average salary will only afford the worker enough money to buy his daily sustenance, with nothing left for rent or clothing.

The Broward County Courthouse Debacle – A word from the mayor

February 17th, 2010

I love politicians who profess to know math.

First, $37 per taxpayer in tax for debt repayment is going to expire. The benevolent mayor votes to expend $8 per taxpayer and declares a $26 per taxpayer savings!

Well… the was a vote for the courthouse, but there really wasn’t. Now they vote more taxes, when we were expecting a decrease… and they call it a decrease.

Yessiree… vote yea by not voting… tax the citizens of Broward County more and tell them you are saving them money!

Hold on to your wallet, citizens of Broward County, you are being fleeced again!

It is time to clean house of all career, government wonk, entrenched politicians by voting against them. From local levels all the way to the federal level, it is time to get real people who have held real private sector jobs to represent us.
