I’m sick of paying! I want MY Money and MY America back! I’m sick of paying! I’m sick of paying for and rewarding bad behavior. Congress’ “great ideas” that primarily serve to benefit only themselves by legislating unfunded mandates that aid their voting blocks, lobbyist’s bosses and create personal fortunes for themselves and their “cronies” all at our expense. Such mandates have created the fiscal crisis we are now experiencing. i.e. legacy costs, pensions healthcare, Community Reinvestment Act , Reinvestment and Recovery Act and the list and on goes on. I am sick of the government, state and federal, deciding where my hard earned income goes and then offering it up as rebates, incentives, credits or refunds as if they are doing us a favor… so don’t take my dollar and give it back as a penny like some lord…just don’t take it in the first place! It is our money to begin with and I think I have a much better track record of how to manage my budget than they do! Who do they think they are? They act like kings bestowing riches upon their serfs with capital that doesn’t belong to them but rather to the taxpayers. I’m sick of paying for foreign aid, grants, “studies”, ACORN, bridges to nowhere, illegal aliens and system scamming disability-welfare recipients healthcare, childcare, food stamps, housing, education and cell phones just to mention a few. Not to mention, inefficiently run, redundant government agencies many of which are so busy protecting their fiefdoms they miss the big picture (9/11, Ft Hood?) and Americans lose their lives. I’m sick of paying for Congress’ healthcare, daycare, pensions , Nancy Pelosi’s jet and “trips”, Hillary’s TARP “gift” of $6 million to her pollster, $25 million for a “ Teddy “memorial which John Kerry bragged about as a great accomplishment …let him use Theresa’s money or better yet let the Kennedy’s use their own(decades in office I can’t name 1 piece of legislation that either has contributed that has significantly changed my life for the better but they all seem to be doing very well! ) I am sick of paying for, rendezvous’ for illicit trysts to Argentina (oops…that was a governor)pay raises and the likes, that Congress has the audacity to vote for themselves while simultaneously freezing social security payments to seniors who paid into the system for decades with the promise of a safeguard in their golden years. Congress increased their salaries by voting themselves a $4700/$5200 raise…. |

A WARNING TO THE TEA PARTY NATION |

As far as grassroots activism goes, the surge in Tea Parties across America is one of the more encouraging developments to recently take place. It reminds me of the "Conservative Revolution" of 1994, when the GOP reclaimed both the US Senate and House of Representatives. At that time, it had been over 40 years since the Republican Party controlled both the US House and Senate. And, between the two, the House victories were the most significant. Spurred mostly by the election of Bill Clinton in 1992, a host of young, energetic freshman Republicans marched into Washington, D.C., determined to return a burgeoning and out-of-control federal leviathan to the constitutional precepts of limited government. I'm talking about then-freshman House members such as Helen Chenoweth, Steve Largent, Bob Barr, Joe Scarborough, Sonny Bono, John Shadegg, J.C. Watts, etc. These young conservatives went to Washington, D.C., determined to reduce the growth and size of the federal government. |
