It's all a scam. The crooks are numerous and the little piggies are just trying to stay hidden..
So what they do is cut stuff that we NEED in order to blackmail the populace into crying for more taxes... That's what they did in DC. They stopped passport offices, VA Hospitals, and I'm sure they'll stop National Parks, Airport controllers, but they'll keep spending money on Nancy Pelosi's worms or Murthas fat a@@ make work projects, art projects with urine and feces and the image of Christ...but not Mohammed...
We get the picture liberals... The government holds the bigger guns.... This is the final phase of Mao and the rest of the little collectivists have had hard-ons for. The final squeeze of the apple in order to create enough chaos and crisis that we will give EVERYTHING to them.
May I suggest that FReepers read Chairman Mao's little red book and also the Communist Manifesto. Lenin and Stalin added the collectivist touches to be done in a "democratic" society rather than a monarchy with agricultural revolt... but either way this is the final stage.
My prediction is that Obama will "rescue" California and all the high tax sh#tholes on the backs of the states that have low taxes and thereby crater the whole economy. That way Michigan and California and New York can continue to spend but suck the life blood out of the states that have fiscal discipline.
Does anybody ever wonder why State income tax is deductible from federal taxes.... otherwise the whole tax and fraud would devastate the high tax sh#tholes.
Can you imagine if you were unable to deduct any of the taxes that are paid as income tax for the state? We'd have to put the border patrol on the interior states and not on the Mexican border.
state tax on commissions(not salary-nice,protect the state workers)in New York State is over 11%. All in all,make 10k a month there,take home 5k. If you pay for healthcare you’re under 50% of what you make.
Exactly and well said. In Michigan the big important news and announcements were about cutting State Police jobs. Who in their right mind cuts police protection instead of the thousands of bureaucrat jobs in Lansing? Oh wait..I KNOW...the thousands of bureaucrats in Lansing! Scare the people to get more taxes to line the pockets of these unneeded societal sponges.
