From a hearing today on restoring felon voting rights where Hans A. von Spakovsky testified before the House Judiciary Committee.

From The Corner – The Right of Felons to Vote: The House Takes On the Constitution [Hans A. von Spakovsky]

But the most revealing admission during the entire hearing was made by Representative Cohen. When confronted with our constitutional arguments, he said that if there is a constitutional problem, we just have to find a way to get around it. There seems to be a lot of that going on in the House of Representatives these days.

This is what you get when you vote for a Democrat. After all, they believe the Constitution is nothing more than bill of negative rights.

We’ve seen this so many times with Democrats in government who don’t think they need to pay their taxes. There’s quite a list of Democrat legislators who seem to be immune from paying taxes and then add in Obama’s appointments the picture is very clear. Democrats in power want to tax the rest of us death yet don’t think the rules or laws apply to them because THEY WON! All you have to do is a search of tax cheats at Michelle Malkin’s site and list of ‘Corruptocrats‘ appears.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT)introduced legislation that would prevent the hiring and force the firing of government employees and contracted private contractors with tax delinquencies. Funny thing though, the Democrats in the House aren’t interested and according to them, the legislation is ‘dead’.

From Kevin Williamson at National Review – Tiny Tims:

According to data from the IRS and the Office of Personnel Management, nearly 100,000 current federal employees are behind on their taxes. Not all of them are big offenders, but they are delinquent to the tune of nearly $1 billion — an average of about $10,000 each. If retirees collecting federal pensions and military personnel are included, the number is about 267,000, and they owe a total of about $3 billion.

Wonder why the Democrats don’t think Federal employees need to pay their income taxes? Could it be that most of them are Democrats and union members?

Another billboard, this time in Florida.

The attached photo is of a billboard recently established on I-75 just south of Lake City. A group gathered there today to celebrate its unveiling.

The cost of 10 months rental of the billboard and doing the artwork was $6500. We feel that is a reasonable cost to reach out to 1,000,000 vehicles per month and perhaps motivate their participation in the electoral process to get our country on a sound footing.

Look out Democrats, it’s you in the crosshairs. You currently have total control of the House, Senate and Administration!

You didn’t? Too bad cause this is what they’re planning on doing. Course, initially, this will be voluntary but don’t count on it staying that way.

In mid January I wrote about Obama and the Democrat’s latest scheme:

Well, this is one of the schemes Obama is planning. Forcing you to convert your 401k investment into annuities having the government as the annuity salesman. It’s bad enough that the likes of Rep. Barney Frank forced banks into the CRA using Janet Reno holding a sledgehammer over lending institutions heads. Then protecting Fannie and Freddie into insolvency so the US Taxpayers have to give unlimited funds to cover the CRA mess Barney and his Democrat cronies created. It was so great that Barney was able to blame the banks and Bush for the housing bubble collapse, can’t wait to see how Barney manages this conversion.

From IBD Editorials: Class Warfare’s Next Target: 401(k) Savings

In plain English, the idea is for the government to take your retirement savings in return for a promise to pay you some monthly benefit in your retirement years.

They will tell you that you are “investing” your money in U.S. Treasury bonds. But they will use your money immediately to pay for their unprecedented trillion-dollar budget deficits, leaving nothing to back up their political promises, just as they have raided the Social Security trust funds.

This “conversion” may start out as an optional choice, though you are already free to buy Treasury bonds whenever you want. But as Karl Denninger of the Market Ticker Web site reports: “‘Choices’ have a funny way of turning into mandates, and this looks to me like a raw admission that Treasury knows it will not be able to sell its debt in the open market — so they will effectively tax you by forcing your ‘retirement’ money to buy them.”

Moreover, benefits based on Treasury bond interest rates may be woefully inadequate compensation for your years of savings. As Denninger adds, “What’s even worse is that the government has intentionally suppressed Treasury yields during this crisis (and will keep doing so by various means, including manipulating the CPI inflation index) so as to guarantee that you lose over time compared to actual purchasing power.”

Considering that the Chinese are selling off their US bonds and not buying anymore US bonds these Democrat robber barons are looking for their next shill to rob and that is once again YOU, the American citizen!

Joe Dan Media fingers them all and they are currently running our government. All those subversives from the 60’s are now today’s politicians and they’re mostly progressives, liberals, socialists and marxists. Not a good combination making up the Democrat Party of today.

Goodbye Miss America, Joe Dan Media, 60’s radicals

Not so good? Well, this is one of the schemes Obama is planning. Forcing you to convert your 401k investment into annuities having the government as the annuity salesman. It’s bad enough that the likes of Rep. Barney Frank forced banks into the CRA using Janet Reno holding a sledgehammer over lending institutions heads. Then protecting Fannie and Freddie into insolvency so the US Taxpayers have to give unlimited funds to cover the CRA mess Barney and his Democrat cronies created. It was so great that Barney was able to blame the banks and Bush for the housing bubble collapse, can’t wait to see how Barney manages this conversion.

From All American Blogger we read about the plan detailed in Business Week.

But what you won’t read in the Business Week article is this from Will Collier of Pajamas Media:

As noted later in the article, “Seven in 10 U.S. households would object to a requirement that retirees convert part of their savings into annuities,” and the “why” of that opinion isn’t that hard to figure out: they’re a bad deal for everybody except the guys selling them. Consumer gurus like Clark Howard have been warning people away from high-commission “guaranteed” annuities for years. I bet everyone reading this knows of somebody who’s been ripped off by an annuity salesman.

But now … now the government would be the annuity salesman – except that if the administration gets its wish, there won’t be any “selling,” you’ll just be forced to take the money you’ve earned and “convert” it to a construct that they’ll allow you to “invest” in. No more of this willy-nilly mutual fund nonsense for you plebeians; we’ll tell you how you’re going to pay for things, so hand over the cash – it’s your patriotic duty!

It would be plenty bad enough if the “guaranteed” government annuities were limited to bailed-out insurers like AIG. But Karl Denninger of The Market Ticker took a deeper look and found an even scarier outcome. Denninger believes this is really a scheme to prop up the market for Treasury bonds by forcing citizens to “invest” in them.

As Denninger points out, “Forcing people into Treasuries as an ‘annuity’ is exactly what Social Security allegedly is. Except that Treasury stole the money that was collected in FICA taxes and spent it!”

Another Ponzi Scheme from the Democrats to rape and pillage the US Taxpayer.

What a letter to AARP and in substance to Obama. This is what happens when you have a President who speaks out of both sides of his mouth.

Dear Mr. Rand,

Recently you sent us a letter encouraging us to renew our lapsed membership in AARP by the requested date. I know it is not what you were looking for, but this is the most honest response I can give you. Our gap in coverage is merely a microscopic symptom of the real problem, a deepening lack of faith.

While we have proudly maintained our membership for several years and have long admired the AARP goals and principles, regrettably, we can no longer endorse it’s abdication of our values. Your letter specifically stated that we can count on AARP to speak up for our rights, yet the voice we hear is not ours. Your offer of being kept up to date on important issues through DIVIDED WE FAIL presents neither an impartial view nor the one we have come to embrace. We do believe that when two parties agree all the time on everything presented to them, one is probably not necessary. But, when the opinions and long term goals are diametrically opposed, the divorce is imminent. This is the philosophy, which spawned our 200 years of government.

Once upon a time, we looked forward to being part of the senior demographic. We also looked to AARP to provide certain benefits and give our voice a power we could not possibly hope to achieve on our own. AARP gave us a sense of belonging, which we no longer enjoy. The Socialist politics practiced by the Obama administration and empowered by AARP serves only to raise the blood pressure my medical insurance strives to contain. Clearly a conflict of interest there!

We do not understand the AARP posture, feel greatly betrayed by the guiding forces that we expected to map out our senior years and leave your ranks with a great sense of regret. We mitigate that disappointment with the relief of knowing that we are not contributing to the problem anymore by renewing our membership. There are numerous other organizations, which offer discounts without threatening our way of life or offending our sensibilities.

This Presidential Administration scares the living daylights out of us. Not just for ourselves, but for our proud and bloodstained heritage. But even more importantly for our children and grandchildren. Washington has rendered Soylent Green a prophetic cautionary tale rather than a nonfiction scare tactic. I have never in my life endorsed any militant or radical groups, yet now I find myself listening to them. I don’t have to agree with them to appreciate the fear which birthed their existence. Their borderline insanity presents little more than a balance to the voice of the Socialist mindset in power. Perhaps I became American by a great stroke of luck in some cosmic uterine lottery, but in my adulthood I CHOOSE to embrace it and nurture the freedoms it represents as well as the responsibilities it requires.

Your website generously offers us the opportunity to receive all communication in Spanish. ARE YOU KIDDING? Someone has broken into our ‘house’, invaded our home without our invitation or consent. The President has insisted we keep the perpetrator in comfort and learn the perp language so we can communicate our reluctant welcome to them.

I DON’T choose to welcome them.

I DON’T choose to support them.

I DON’T choose to educate them.

I DON’T choose to medicate them, pay for their food or clothing. American home invaders get arrested.

Please explain to me why foreign lawbreakers can enjoy privileges on American soil that Americans do not get?

Why do some immigrants have to play the game to be welcomed and others only have to break & enter to be welcomed?

We travel for a living. Walt hauls horses all over this great country, averaging over 10,000 miles a month when he is out there. He meets more people than a politician on caffeine overdose. Of all the many good folks he enjoyed on this last 10,000 miles, this trip yielded only ONE supporter of the current administration. One of us is out of touch with mainstream America. Since our poll is conducted without funding, I have more faith in it than one which is power driven.

We have decided to forward this to everyone on our mailing list, and will encourage them to do the same. With several hundred in my address book, I have every faith that the eventual exponential factor will make a credible
statement to you.

I am disappointed as hell.
I am scared as hell.
I am MAD as hell, and I’m NOT gonna take it anymore!
