Never enough taxes for the libs

The use of company-issued mobile phones could trigger new federal income taxes on millions of Americans as a "fringe benefit."

The Internal Revenue Service proposed employers assign 25% of an employee's annual phone expenses as a taxable benefit. Under that scenario, a worker in the 28% tax bracket, whose wireless device costs the company $1,500 a year, could see $105 in additional federal income tax. More here:

Yes - and, as always, it's FREE for companies to do all the ridiculous calculations as demanded by the IRS. That means their higher costs won't be passed along to us in the form of higher prices.


And YOU, scumball. How DARE you try to get away with not paying your taxes on personal use of the cell phone. Cough it up, shithook. We ought to put you in jail. We're the government and we're spending like drunken liberals. There is NO LIMIT to our hunger for your money. We're NEVER going to be happy.

Another MASSIVE govn't program

Rangel

June 12 (Bloomberg) -- Health-care overhaul legislation being drafted by House Democrats will include $600 billion in tax increases and $400 billion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel said.

Democrats will work on the bill’s details next week as they struggle through “what kind of heartburn” it will cause to agree on how to pay for revamping the health-care system, Rangel, a New York Democrat, said today. He also said the measure’s cost will reach beyond the $634 billion President Barack Obama proposed in his budget request to Congress as a down payment for the policy changes.

Asked whether the cost of a health-care overhaul would be more than $1 trillion, Rangel said, “the answer is yes.” More here:

Uh, but don't worry, just because they've fucked up Social Security, Medicare, Welfare, and every other "program" they get their hands on is no sign they'll screw this up too. Just relax. If we don't like it we can always undo it ... just like all the other massive government programs that have been "undone."

I sure hope they only tax the evil rich (and corporations) for this program. I certainly don't want them to tax the poor ... cuz I'm always looking to poor people to employ me and I want them to be able to afford to pay me.

I think they could reduce health care costs by making the loser pay in lawsuits. I'd have to guess that 90% of the increased costs in health care are primarily because doctors/hospitals/insurance companies etc have to CONSTANTLY defend themselves against bullshit lawsuits. I mean think about it ... every two minutes on TV is a commercial by a lawyer telling you to contact them if you've been a "victim."

Anyway ... just remember, the lawyers are stealing YOUR money by suing the docs/hospitals/insurance companies and then they have to pass those costs along to you in the form of higher prices. Get it? They lawyers are making a slave out of you to enrich themselves. The lawyers always get 40-50% (or more) of these "settlements."

This is EXACTLY what happens with they "tax the rich." Stop buying the Democrat's bullshit. If you vote for these kinds of ideas, you're an idiot.

What? The Stimulus didn't work?

Biden tells "Meet the Press" that "everyone guessed wrong" on the impact of the stimulus, economy was worse off than anyone thought.

"No one realized how bad the economy was. The projections, in fact, turned out to be worse. But we took the mainstream model as to what we thought -- and everyone else thought -- the unemployment rate would be."

"Everyone guessed wrong at the time the estimate was made about what the state of the economy was at the moment this was passed." More here:

Really, genius? Cuz I recall guessing you jackasses were going to spend a trillion dollars with no impact at all except putting us further into debt. I recall that EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN in the House voted against this bill.

A nearly $820 billion stimulus package passed the House of Representatives Wednesday without a single Republican vote. More here:

So ... NO ... "Everyone" didn't guess wrong. As usual it was the Dipshitocrats who "guessed wrong." I have an idea ... STOP GUESSING WITH A TRILLION CRISP YOU JACKASSES. Take your John Maynard Keynes and cram him up your ass instead of cramming him up OUR asses all the time, idiots.

Hey ... BIDEN ... I have a "guess" for you. We're about to see inflation and unemployment go through the roof. Since you idiot Dipshitocrats keep blocking drilling, refining, and exploration, we're about to see gas/energy prices go through the roof.

Oh, woe is us ... who could have seen this coming?

Note: I recall taking myriad economics classes in school. The "professors" all talked like Keynes was their hero. Since I knew no better and there was NO conflicting information presented, I bought it. College = education, my ass.

Smokers = Shitstains

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate struck a historic blow against smoking in America Thursday, voting overwhelmingly to give regulators new power to limit nicotine in the cigarettes that kill nearly a half-million people a year, to drastically curtail ads that glorify tobacco and to ban flavored products aimed at spreading the habit to young people.

The legislation, one of the most dramatic anti-smoking initiatives since the surgeon general's report, would give the Food and Drug Administration authority to regulate the content, marketing and advertising of cigarettes and other tobacco products. More here:

Oh good. I guess "Freedom" doesn't really mean "Freedom." Instead it means "you're free to do as we say." It's unreal to see dipshit politicians steal freedom and money from people without repercussion. It's unreal to see them ruining industry after industry (tobacco, oil, pharmaceuticals, coal, auto-makers, on & on) all the while driving prices through the roof and bringing untold torment on the "free people."

You know, when I was in school, I was told that the government's main duty was to PROTECT MY FREEDOM! Funny, huh?

It's great to be in the "land of the free"

An advocacy group for online poker said Tuesday that the federal government has frozen more than $30 million in the accounts of payment processors that handle the winnings of thousands of online poker players.

The Justice Department long has maintained that Internet gambling is illegal, a view that the poker group challenges.

The Poker Players Alliance told The Associated Press that the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York instructed three banks — Citibank, Goldwater Bank and Alliance Bank of Arizona — to freeze the accounts.

Documents obtained by the AP show that a magistrate judge in the district issued a seizure warrant last week for an account at a Wells Fargo bank in San Francisco, and that a federal prosecutor told Alliance Bank to freeze accounts. More here:

You know what? I just LOVE IT when braying jackasses steal the freedom of others. Whenever I see this (and I see it a lot) "I have a strong impulse to see it tried on them personally."

22. & 24. GROVER CLEVELAND 1885-1889, 1893-1897

The First Democrat elected after the Civil War, Grover Cleveland was the only President to leave the White House and return for a second term four years later.

One of nine children of a Presbyterian minister, Cleveland was born in New Jersey in 1837. He was raised in upstate New York. As a lawyer in Buffalo, he became notable for his single-minded concentration upon whatever task faced him.

At 44, he emerged into a political prominence that carried him to the White House in three years. Running as a reformer, he was elected Mayor of Buffalo in 1881, and later, Governor of New York.

Cleveland won the Presidency with the combined support of Democrats and reform Republicans, the "Mugwumps," who disliked the record of his opponent James G. Blaine of Maine.

A bachelor, Cleveland was ill at ease at first with all the comforts of the White House. "I must go to dinner," he wrote a friend, "but I wish it was to eat a pickled herring a Swiss cheese and a chop at Louis' instead of the French stuff I shall find." In June 1886 Cleveland married 21-year-old Frances Folsom; he was the only President married in the White House.

Cleveland vigorously pursued a policy barring special favors to any economic group. Vetoing a bill to appropriate $10,000 to distribute seed grain among drought-stricken farmers in Texas, he wrote: "Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character. . . . "

He also vetoed many private pension bills to Civil War veterans whose claims were fraudulent. When Congress, pressured by the Grand Army of the Republic, passed a bill granting pensions for disabilities not caused by military service, Cleveland vetoed it, too.

He angered the railroads by ordering an investigation of western lands they held by Government grant. He forced them to return 81,000,000 acres. He also signed the Interstate Commerce Act, the first law attempting Federal regulation of the railroads.

In December 1887 he called on Congress to reduce high protective tariffs. Told that he had given Republicans an effective issue for the campaign of 1888, he retorted, "What is the use of being elected or re-elected unless you stand for something?" But Cleveland was defeated in 1888; although he won a larger popular majority than the Republican candidate Benjamin Harrison, he received fewer electoral votes.

Elected again in 1892, Cleveland faced an acute depression. He dealt directly with the Treasury crisis rather than with business failures, farm mortgage foreclosures, and unemployment. He obtained repeal of the mildly inflationary Sherman Silver Purchase Act and, with the aid of Wall Street, maintained the Treasury's gold reserve.

When railroad strikers in Chicago violated an injunction, Cleveland sent Federal troops to enforce it. "If it takes the entire army and navy of the United States to deliver a post card in Chicago," he thundered, "that card will be delivered."

Cleveland's blunt treatment of the railroad strikers stirred the pride of many Americans. So did the vigorous way in which he forced Great Britain to accept arbitration of a disputed boundary in Venezuela. But his policies during the depression were generally unpopular. His party deserted him and nominated William Jennings Bryan in 1896.

After leaving the White House, Cleveland lived in retirement in Princeton, New Jersey. He died in 1908. From here:

Holy shitski -- a ROBOT SNAKE !!!

A robot snake, capable of recording video and sound on the battlefield, is on the way to join the the IDF's hi-tech arsenal.

According to a Channel 2 report, click herethe spying robot, which is about two meters long and covered in military camouflage, mimics the movements and appearance of real snakes, slithering around through caves, tunnels, cracks and buildings, while at the same time sending images and sound back to a soldier who controls the device through a laptop computer.

Able to bend its joints so well that it can squeeze through very tight spaces, the new device will be used to find people buried under collapsed buildings. The snake is also able to arch its body, allowing it to see over obstacles through its head camera. More here:

Ok -- NOW -- electrify its body and make it shoot fire and lasers out of its head . Do I have to think of EVERYTHING? I mean ... C'MON, it's a ROBOT SNAKE ... it should be FEARSOME!!!

Hee Haw - Hee Haw

-- Newsweek editor, Evan Thomas responded to a question on whether the media's unfair to Bush on the TV talk show Inside Washington, February 2, 2007

"Well, our job is to bash the president, that's what we do."

BUT WAIT -- Here's -- Evan Thomas on Hardball, June 5, 2009.

"I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."

Hey, Evan Thomas - better tone down your "bashing" of Obama don't you think? Or perhaps you're not afraid -- it's "what you do" -- right? Jackass.

Don't worry libs, the legions of morons you've educated over the last 50 years won't suspect a thing. It's the conservatives you have to worry about. The ones that actually read and comprehend. No wonder you're going broke. Adios, comrade. "We're all socialists now" - right?

Here he is, bashing he hell out of Obama. "It's what he does."

Settlers dedicate a Torah scroll in the West Bank outpost of Maoz Esther, which has been dismantled and rebuilt several times in recent weeks. Photo: AP

In defiance of US President Barack Obama's call on Israel to stop settlement activity, defiant settlers built a new outpost on Friday morning between Migron and Kochav Ya'acov.

One of the activists said of Obama, "He's an Arab Muslim and a gentile, he is fighting against the Jewish people and has declared that he will continue to do so. We already stated our intention to continue to build, no matter who is fighting us - Egypt, Germany or the US."

Among the 200 activists that gathered at the Maoz Esther site was Hebron-Kiryat Arba Chief Rabbi Dov Lior, who explained why peace was impossible in the Middle East.

"It's all illusions. With these savages, there was never peace, there is no peace and there will not be peace," he said.

"It's not because we don't want it, but because they are enemies of peace. We just have to hope that our entire country is cleared of terrorists, their supporters, their backers and their camels. They should all be sent to Saudi Arabia."From here:

"... and their camels." LMAO

Meat munchers - UPDATE at the bottom

EXCERPTS: A row between the fast food giant Burger King and one of its major franchise owners has erupted over roadside signs proclaiming "global warming is baloney".

The franchisee, a Memphis-based company called the Mirabile Investment Corporation (MIC) that owns more than 40 Burger Kings across Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi, has described Burger King as acting "kinda like cockroaches" over the controversy. MIC says it does not believe Burger King has the authority to make it take the signs down.

The dispute began to sizzle last week, when a local newspaper reporter in Memphis, Tennessee, noticed the signs outside two restaurants in the city and contacted the corporation to establish if the message represented its official viewpoint. Burger King's headquarters in Miami said it did not, adding that it had ordered MIC to take the signs down.

He continued: "Burger King can bluster all they want about what they can tell the franchisee to do, but we have free-speech rights in this country so I don't think there's any concerns." More here: and here:

Ha ha - GO, MIC!! I'll bet his business is WAY up. He's right about one thing for sure ... Burger King bigwigs are scrambling from controversy like the cockroaches they are.

Just so you know:

One imagines that someone at Burger King realised that the "global warming is baloney" line didn't exactly chime with the views of John Chidsey, the company's CEO, who believes that climate change is "an overriding issue of importance for the global community, business community and people in general", as he stated in this short interview conducted at this year's World Economic Forum. (How he squares this concern with his company's drive-thru, meat-munching business model is another matter, though.) From here:

Ha ha - I love how the "reporter" doesn't give a shit whether Burger King is on his side about climate change or not -- Burger King (meat munchers) is still the enemy. This is what you get when you try to appease jackass libs.

Hey - John Chidsey - here's an "overriding issue of importance" for you ... I've eaten my last Burger (or anything else) from Burger King ... unless, of course, I see one of the "baloney" signs outside -- THEN, I'm having a burger.

UPDATE - More thoughts:

And another thing, John Chidsey ... they're coming for you. Wait until they get through taxing the meat from cows because "cows cause global warming." What do you think THAT will do to your prices? What do you think THAT will do to your sales ... genius.

Wait until the lib media starts blasting your "meat-munching" operations like they did to "big tobacco" and "big oil." What derogatory name will they assign to your business ... "big meat?" ... "big cardiac-ac-ac-ac?" What will it be?

They're out to destroy your industry you clueless moron. You and morons like you went along with the joke for too long ... it's too late ... you're all but finished, but nice voting, asshat. Hey, maybe you can sell more salads ... people just LOVE those.

When they start with the taxing, what do you think your investors are going to do? Do you think they'll be selling any stock they have that is affected by meat sales? My guess is they're going to divest themselves until we get the socialists out of office. It'll be longer than that though. It'll be a generation before we can rid ourselves of the activist libs on the Supreme Court. Maybe THEN we can begin to reverse some of the idiocy that's been done over the past 40 years. I'm guessing you'll be long dead before your industry can make a comeback.

See ya later, John Chidsey ... jackass ... you're what is known as a "useful idiot." I'll be over here ... watching with glee ... as the libs break your ass.

Liberty and Tyranny

Mark Levin has written a new book ... "Liberty and Tyranny." It's also available on Kindle and Audio CD and Audio download. I shall download and listen to it this summer sometime.

Here is a quote on the subject from Abraham Lincoln:

"We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor.

Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny."

By the way, this book is a HUGE bestseller and yet is ignored by the mainstream media. Funny huh? What a shocker. Here are some excerpts from this article/interview.

While the state-controlled media continues to shun him, syndicated radio talk host Mark Levin's Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto is on track to sell a stunning one million copies, if it hasn't already done so. More than that number have now been printed by Simon and Schuster, its publisher.

And late today, it was revealed that the book will appear as number one on the New York Times Bestseller List for the ninth time in the past ten weeks. At Amazon, it remained in first place in books for over a month and has since generally found a home in the top ten or close to it (it ranks 12 at the moment).

But while conservative outlets have reviewed and discussed the book widely, the state-controlled mainstream media has almost completely ignored Liberty and Tyranny. Despite topping their sales list, you won't even find a review of the book in the New York Times. Don't bother checking other daily newspapers, either, as they've also found it unworthy of discussion.

Gee, that must be because, as jourrrrrnalists, they're so fair and objective.

Abraham Lincoln - Property & Freedom

Here are some more quotes from Abraham Lincoln:

"Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it."

"A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved - I do not expect the house to fall - but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other."

"Whenever I hear any one arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally."

"Property is the fruit of labor ... property is desirable ... is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built."
