Now that President Barrack has ruined the nations economy and buried us all in a massive debt with his hair-brained schemes of brazenly outrageous spending, it is time to soak you all with another lallapalooza of a massive tax increase. The tiresome motions that with the help of the media smoke screen have fooled the nation time and again are all on display once more.
Before deciding what revenue options are best for dealing with the deficit and the economy, Obama said in an interview with CNBC, "I want to get a better picture of what our options are."
'Get a better picture of what our options are.' How about quit proposing trillion dollar expenditures and ramming them down the nations collective throat on the backs of your parties majority and parliamentary trickery. Here's the guidance we are getting:
'Guess what, fellas? We have a huge debt problem. Go figure! And that is just irresponsible. We have to do something about it.'
And the solution this clown comes up with? Stop government bail-outs of private industry? Stop expansion of the Federal bureaucracy into the healthcare industry? Stop blowing trillions of dollars at a time to poorly named government 'projects'?
No, no, no!
The solution that he has come up with: Tax EVERYBODY! For EVERYTHING!! And how is that done, you ask? VAT Tax. Tax this, tax Vat. Everything you do, at every point along the way, tax at every exchange. What that will mean is that everything produced here will be produced vat considerably greater expense. And do you know what vat means? Hmmm? Vat will result in decreased productivity, decreased consumption, and DECREASED VAX REVENUES!
I know, I know....I have to stop yelling. But this is just too much. It's all about increasing government control and changing the country in which you and I live.
The piker.
"Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game"
H/t to Bob Belevedere.
If I understand it correctly, VAT taxes are levied at each stage of production, passed on to the next, reimbursed to the prior, and finally extracted from the consumer.
ReplyDeleteEven if the additional tax amount for the end-user is not excessive, what is all that overhead going to cost? Production of paperwork, filing of paperwork, IRS-types reviewing the paperwork, transfers of money back and forth, it's insane.
Unless this is how he's planning to create all those new jobs we keep hearing about.
This means that everything that anyone buys is going to cost more. And if you think about all the production and consumption that goes on in this country's economy, that is a potential windfall increase in tax revenues for the government...the better for Barry to spend them with, to hand out favors, provide kickbacks to constituents and supporters, to pick winners and losers..we will all end up like the longshoremen in On The Waterfront, desperately hoping to get picked by the union thugs to have a chance to do a days work and provide for our families.
ReplyDeleteBut what Barry either doesn't understand or more likely doesn't care about, is that this will be a tax burden on everybody...from the Wall Street bankers that he loves to vilify to the people in Detroit hoping for Barry to cover their next house payment from the money he has in his stash. It's pathetically sad and disgusts me.
This is not what this nation is about. This is not freedom.
"Unless this is how he's planning to create all those new jobs"
ReplyDeleteWell, that's funny, but honestly that is the only sector in our economy that is growing. Over half of all union employees in this nation are employed by the government.
The truth is, I believe this is how he intends to create new jobs - continue to grow government and swell the ranks of those on government assistance, and thereby establish a political power base that will never be challenged again. Ever.
Thanks for your comments, Cath.
I think I've been sounding a little too argumentative lately.
ReplyDeleteTime for another good show!
It was fun doing the Tebow piece. I'm so sick of Obama.
ReplyDelete"I think I've been sounding a little too argumentative lately."
ReplyDeleteWhy would you even imagine that? This is your future, and your daughters' futures at stake. This is liberty these wicked people seek to destroy.
I liked you post on Tebow -- he seems like truly one of the "good kids", even though I find I've become so wary of letting myself believe in anybody in the public eye.
ReplyDeleteCynicism versus disappointment -- gets to be a tough call sometimes.
And the crack about new jobs was, as my grandmother would say, "Half in fun, but whole in earnest."
Sorry to be so gloomy at you guys. And, Nick, you don't sound argumentative, you sound concerned, and fed up.
ReplyDeleteBut, being a big believer in R&R, I have to say that a steady diet of outrage -- no matter how reasonable a response it may be -- leaves nothing to nourish the spirit. Plus, it's very bad, quite literally, for the digestion.
So -- anything in particular in mind for the next show?
Ilion, I have no problem pointing out the Big O's shenanigans, and will argue for freedom and for the Constitution to be upheld, but if there is some comment that has one part of one sentence that doesn't seem quite right to me, do we really need Nick coming in to point it out?
ReplyDeleteI thought not.
"But, being a big believer in R&R, I have to say that a steady diet of outrage -- no matter how reasonable a response it may be -- leaves nothing to nourish the spirit."
That's why it's so fun over at April's blog. One minute she is slamming some outrage by this power grabbing monstrosity in Washington, and the next she is calling out Renee Zellweger for some fashion faux pas:
"And that hair cut: No way sister."
Cracks...me ...UP!
Yeah, I've been thinking about doing another movie Open Thread. I'm up, actually, and so the question is what good movie would I like to revisit, that maybe you have not seen yet (or maybe you have) that would be fun to talk over and think about again. Well, that makes for a very broad swath of movies. Hmmm.
A while back, my older brother Matt encouraged me to read through Jane Eyre with him. There was something in there that he wanted me to see, and that might have some insight to some things in life. I gave it a go, but bogged down and he finished it without me. I have since picked it up again and am enjoying it. As to film, I have seen four different versions of Jane Eyre on film, and find my favorite is the one I most recently saw. I am still thinking about it, and since I get to choose which film I get your help with to talk through together, I think that will be my choice.
