Tax Return Returned!!!

About this time of the year the IRS and I never see eye to eye. My return was returned.....again!! It's the same issue every year. They don't like my answers, especially when they ask, "List All Dependents," to which I reply:
"12 million illegal immigrants, 3 million crackheads, 42 million unemployable people on food stamps, 2 million people in over 243 prisons, half of Mexico, and 535 idiots in the U.S. House and Senate."
Apparently this was NOT an acceptable answer!

Hypocritical????

 The White House is threatening to veto an effort by House Republicans to cut taxes for millions of smaller businesses, calling it an unproductive giveaway to many of the country's most profitable companies. Excuse me...can you say SOLYNDRA? (  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solyndra_loan_controversy )
Solyndra was far from productive, now in bankruptcy, but giving the company a government loan of $500B plus also appears unproductive, seeing that the taxpayers will never see that money again.

Obituary of the United States of America!

In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh ,had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent 
form of government.
A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years.
During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."
The Obituary follows:
Born 1776, Died 2012
It doesn't hurt to read this several times.



Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota points out some interesting facts concerning the last Presidential election: 
Number of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29 
Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000 
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million McCain: 143 million 
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1 
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.
Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the
"complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years. 
If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.
If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom..
This is truly scary!
Of course we are not a democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic. Someone should point this out to Obama.
Of course we know he and too many others pay little attention to The Constitution.
There couldn't be more at stake than on Nov 6, 2012.

(Thanks to my friend and high school classmate, Doug Perry, for passing this vital message on to us)

A Thought....

that requires every citizen to prove they are insured ...

Remember when a Gallon of Gas was $.......?

Think back...think back a little over three years ago to the Good Old Days...when in 2009 the average price of a loaf of bread was $1.77.....average cost of a gallon of milk was $2.69 and a gallon of gas was $1.84.
today...2012....bread is more than $2.65 milk is $3.50 and gas is $3.94.....what!? gas is $3.94? More than double than in 2009? What is going on here?
Well, what is going on is the current administration, headed by President Obama, doesn't like oil/gas ie: fossil fuels....while he says he is all for pursuing all forms of energy, from solar to wind to..... oil and gas.....well, that's what he says. But we have learned from this President that what he says is not what he means.
President George W. Bush handed president Barack H. Obama the keys to the White House on January 20, 2009. The price at the pump was $1.84. Today that pump reads $3.94. just since January 1 of this year prices have risen more than $.50 per gallon, and the summer vacation driving season, when prices normally climb, hasn't started yet.
The President has nixed the Keystone Pipeline project from Canada in order to appease his tree hugging environmentalist friends. He'll approve it after the election, but by then it may be too late. Canada is talking to the Chinese about the oil we are refusing to take. And the President is refusing to allow drilling for oil which would go a long way, along with the Keystone project, to making this country self-sufficient in oil production.
Take a look:
                                                                 
                                                                                 
Seems clear that if we opened the areas in red to drilling, we would be well on our way. These areas are rick in oil reserves, along with the huge area in Alaska. The President doesn't think much of drilling, has seen by this last graphic......
                                                                                 
Kinda makes the point, doesn't it? Mr. Obama is selling this country short, along with his high unemployment rate, high gas prices and the 15 trillion dollar deficit that he insists on adding to, it would be disastrous to see this man be awarded another 4 years in office. It's time to wake up, America!!

(By the way...thanks to Fox News and  Your World with Neil Cavuto...hope they don't mind my stealing the graphics...they do a great job.)
