The Conservative Sensei

I am sick and tired of reading and watching the news and finding out that our elected officials are tax cheats.  The Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Geithner didn’t pay over $40,000 in taxes and he would have gotten away with it if it hadn’t came up during his conformation hearing.  Tom Daschle, didn’t pay his taxes.  Charlie Wrangle, didn’t pay his taxes.  The list goes on and on.

As our government continues to lobby that the rich in our country need to pay more taxes, our economy continues to decline.  It isn’t important that the top 1% of income earners in the United States pay 40.4% of the American tax burden.  1% of the population paying that much of the burden and the government wants more.  I know, I know.  Some of you think that is OK because it doesn’t’ affect you.  I’m mean, why should you care?  Your not rich.  Of course, we need to consider what “rich” means.  Right now you may not be effected but you might be.

Every time that the government creates another program, we pay for it.  If you think taking the money from rich people is Ok and giving it to the poor then you are a Socialist.  That is fundamental socialism, plan and simple.  It’s Ok.  You can be a socialist and be a Senator.  Bernie Sanders from Vermont is openly a Socialist and he is in the Senate.  Its Ok.  I would rather you come out and just say it than try to convince those of us that believe in Capitalism, small government, and fiscal responsibility are wrong and hate poor people.

A final thought.  What would happen if you didn’t pay your taxes?  Would you go to jail?  Of course you would.  Why is it Ok that our representatives/politicians get away with it?  Control-Alt-Delete.  Fire them all.

State's Rights are Back in Style

Governor Rick Perry of the great state of Texas is once again making a stand against a Federal Government that continues to ignore the Constitution and try to force their will on the citizens of his state.  You will recall that Governor Perry made BIG news when he refused $550 Million of the Federal stimulus because it would have caused a financial burden on his state once the Federal money ran out.

He has stated in this article (Click the picture) that he would not accept the Federal run health care program if it survives DC and is pushed to the states. He claims this right under the 10th Amendment of the Constitution.  While he hopes that he can help defeat the bill before it passes in DC, he is reserving the right to refuse the plan if need be in the future.

This may seem like a horrible thing to say but listen up! Watch this video and then give me your thoughts. Does it make sense? Government isn’t the answer…They are the problem.

If you watch even the smallest amount of news, you are aware of the big battle in DC over changing the healthcare system in the United States.  What some of the readers out there may not know is the current Bill being debated excludes the Congress from having to use it.  That’s right…It’s good enough for our simpletons but the Jury is still out on whether or not Congressmen and Senators should have to use it.  Hypocrasy does not have a limit in DC.

House Resolution (HR 615) has been introduced that states that any Congressman that votes “For” the new Health Care bill has to, by law, sign up to use it.  I will give you exactly one guess on the chances of this resolution passing.  Anyone?  Anyone?  Right.  Us silly citizens need to know our place.  I know my place…I’m their boss.  They work for me and I say if you vote to have Government control my health care you get to join the giant, socialist train that you built.  All Aboard,everyone…All aboard!!!

Senator Bachmann (R-MN) asks both the Fed Chairman and the Secretary of the Treasury hard questions about where in the Constitution they have the authority to take their unprecendented actions during the bailouts.  The shocked look on their faces would be humorous if it weren’t for the obvious truth that they really don’t have an answer.  But how could they?  They don’t have the Constitutional authority.
