Politics By Turbo-Tax Timmy
Dec 27, 2012 Political
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is now playing politics with the debt ceiling in a move that is designed to scare politicians into acting on the so called fiscal cliff. Geithner, a confirmed TAX CHEAT, previously told us that the government would not hit the debt ceiling until sometime late in the first quarter of 2013. Now he is saying that we will hit that ceiling on 31 December of this year.
How convenient that the new ceiling date is the exact same date that will ring in the cuts in government and the tax increases to the people that were all agreed upon by those in Congress. Yes, it is important to remember that Congress came up with the cuts and the tax increases as part of the last fiscal deal. These people all agreed that if they could not come to terms then these cuts and tax increases were acceptable. Now they are running around as if the end of the world is at hand and this is all a bad thing.
THEY GAVE IT TO US AND THEY AGREED TO IT.
The facts are the facts and it is very clear that these people were all OK with the consequences if they could not come to terms. Now they have to live with what they agreed to when they were all rushing to make it home for Christmas two years ago. Their last minute haggling and game playing is now coming back to bite them in their ample rear ends. As Obama’s favorite Pastor might say, their chickens are coming home to roost.
Good, let the Bush tax cuts expire so that everyone can feel the pain. Let the cuts to government take place so people will see the mess created by those who are supposed to be leading us. Let it all come crashing down and let them suffer the consequences of their actions. And let those who voted these morons back in office suffer the consequences of their votes.
Elections have consequences and everyone should suffer them.
But, for Geithner to come out and claim the debt ceiling will be reached by Monday is nothing more than political theater and is designed to take away a bargaining chip Republicans have. This is why Geithner and his boss want the debt limit to be controlled by the White House and not Congress. These people want the ability to spend without limits and they do not want to have to ask Congress for more borrowing capacity.
They want total control and they know that the debt ceiling is a bargaining chip for Republicans to use in an effort to curb spending.
Will this work or will it backfire? If I were the Speaker I would call Barack Obama and lay out all MY terms for the budget. I would say we will have no tax increases and present a list of things that will be cut. I will remind him that the country will default in a few short days as determined by his Treasury Secretary and I will demand that he submit to ALL of my conditions. He will not like it but the bargaining chip that was further down the road is now, according to Geithner, a few days away.
I think it gives Boehner and the Republicans a stronger hand though I doubt Geithner planned for that. I think he was trying to pressure the right to give in to avoid default and to present Obama and his Democrats with a gift. I think this was a poor calculation by Geithner provided Boehner has the testicular fortitude to stand tough.
Hell, Boehner should go for broke and demand that the tax system be completely rewritten to impose a flat tax on all income and that includes the 47% of wage earners who pay NO federal taxes. Note to the left, this is federal income. Other taxes are not in question here.
The tax cheat Treasury Secretary is not interested in doing his job. He is interested in playing politics with the financial well being of the country. He is a shill for Obama and that is all this cretin is.
If he were any good at his job and we were really going to hit the debt ceiling on Monday wouldn’t he know that before today?
America is tired of the games. We are tired of last minute deals that screw us while keeping the morons in DC in power. We are tired of incompetent people running things. We are tired of this mess that both parties are responsible for.
It is time for the people in DC to do their jobs and quit playing games. We have plenty of income (and would have a lot more if unemployment was not so high) to run things but spending is out of control.
Now is the time Boehner. Stand tough and demand spending cuts and a revamped tax code that imposes a flat tax on all income from all wage earners.
Geithner unwittingly gave you a big hammer.
USE IT.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Let Them Eat Food Stamp Cake
Nov 29, 2012 Political
The food stamp president, Barack Hussein Obama (mmm, mmm, mmm), will head off on vacation at the end of this year just as the alleged fiscal crisis that he and his Democrats allowed to happen comes into full swing. The messiah of the left will fly to Hawaii with his family at a cost to taxpayers of 4 MILLION DOLLARS.
Yes, while people are losing jobs, while they are suffering through the Obama economy, while they are trying to figure out what comes next, Obama and his family will be basking in the Hawaiian sun on the taxpayer’s dime. One would think that while so many Americans are suffering, so much so that they have not been able to take a vacation, Obama would stay closer to home and save the taxpayers’ money. OK, I would not think that of Obama. Only a leader would do such a thing and Obama could not lead a group of people out of a burning building unless he promised them Obamaphones for getting out.
Obama will not save taxpayers money because he thinks he is a King and that he is above it all. Hell, we have no money to pay the bills and he will waste 4 MILLION DOLLARS on a vacation.
Obama knows that taxing the wealthy more will not solve the fiscal problems this country has but he is pushing forward for those increases anyway. Spending and so called entitlement cuts are not on the table because Obama would rather tax the rich just for the fun of it.
I guess he needs to raise their taxes so he can pay for his vacations.
Obama has spent millions of dollars to keep his records sealed (hiding a Kenyan birth certificate is expensive). I think I know why he has locked his college transcripts away.
He failed economics and did not want anyone to see the failing grades. Too late Barack, we can see the failure each and every day.
While Obama and his family vacation like royalty America will be suffering. Let them eat cake!
At least his supporters can eat cake they purchased with food stamps.
Just not Twinkies…
As an aside, we have not had a budget in four years because of the Democrats. Why worry about it now? Let the tax cuts expire and spending cuts take place and let people deal with it the best they can. The media and the Democrat Party (but I repeat myself) will try to blame Republicans but who cares? The government gave us the fiscal cliff prior to the election and the people who voted put the exact same government in place. This means they were happy with how things were going. Let them feel the consequences of their actions…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Why Worry About The Fiscal Cliff?
Nov 12, 2012 Commentary
It is billed as Taxmageddon, the first day of the New Year when all the Bush tax cuts expire and certain budget measures kick in. These were designed to force lawmakers to get off their butts and actually do something constructive but that never came to pass. They were too busy running for reelection or working to get their messiah reelected. Now that has happened and there is some movement toward fixing the problem that lies ahead.
But why should they worry about fixing it? When Democrats took control of the Congress in the last two years of the Bush Administration they ran on a platform of eliminating the Bush tax cuts. Remember, Democrats have LONG declared that the Bush tax cuts were ONLY for the rich. They never referred to them as just tax cuts as they always added “for the rich.” Democrats claimed that Bush only cut taxes for wealthy people and that the middle class got screwed despite the fact that the middle class made out better than anyone with regard to the cuts.
Be that as it may, the reality is that Democrats said these tax cuts were only for the wealthy and they said they would eliminate the Bush tax cuts in total, not in some piecemeal fashion.
So let them expire.
Once Democrats won they had to back off their claims that these tax cuts were solely for the rich because they knew otherwise and eliminating them in their entirety would hurt the middle class but that is NOT how they portrayed it when they wanted the lesser minds in society to vote for them.
We should give them no quarter. They ran on eliminating them so let them expire and let everyone suffer the consequences (elections do have consequences). Obama and his minions all think that raising taxes is a good thing and will help the economy. If that is what they believe then they should let the Bush tax cuts expire completely and reap the benefit of increased tax revenue. It is unlikely the Treasury will actually receive increased revenue as tax increases tend to keep that from happening but that is not what Democrats believe.
So why not let them expire completely and see what happens? If Democrats are right then the increase in revenue will catapult the economy into prosperity and we will be on the track to salvation. Hell, if raising the taxes on the rich is wonderful then raising taxes on everyone should be even better.
Besides, the expiration of the tax cuts will only affect the wealthy because that is what the Democrats have told us.
So there should be no worries about the first day of next year. There should be no fiscal or political worries because we are only going to do what Democrats promised all along, end the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.
Hell, let us take it a little further. Let’s actually raise the taxes on millionaires (real ones who make a million dollars or more) to 90%. Everything above a million dollars will be taxed at 90%. They don’t need that money. Barack Obama already told them that at a certain point he thinks they have made enough so let’s just take it from them. Many of the millionaires who live in this country voted for Obama so they should be perfectly willing to have some skin in the game. Imagine if Brad Pitt was paid 5 million dollars for a movie. He would get 400 thousand dollars of the amount over a million and the government would get 3.6 million dollars. What a deal and Pitt will be more than happy because he supported Obama and Obama’s plans.
Think of how rich liberals would be overjoyed at this. Warren Buffett, Michael Moore, Cher, and all the other rich liberals who supported Obama and his plans could pay their fair share to help the poor folks.
Now it is an absolute fact that if the government confiscated ALL the money rich people make it would only run the government for about 90 days but that should not matter. It is all about fair play and these rich folks, many of whom live in California and New York, have put their trust in Obama.
Let the Bush tax cuts expire in their entirety so Democrats can fulfill their promise to do so and then raise taxes on people who make more than a million dollars so they can pay their fair share.
The reality is that none of this will help but the Democrats promised it so they should go through with it. It will crash the economy, force the wealthy liberals to find ways to keep from paying taxes (you KNOW they don’t really want to pay more) and show America how deadly liberal tax policies are.
Who cares if it leads to the demise of this once great nation? If people actually cared about that they would not be standing around with their hands out for Obamaphones, food stamps and other forms of welfare. They would be working instead of mooching.
Let’s give the liberals what they want by letting the Bush tax cuts expire and raising taxes on the wealthy. No exceptions so all the rich guys in Congress have to pay. Hell, Obama will have to pay 90% on all his income above a million so he will have skin in the game. And while we are at it we need to tax him on his employer provided transportation. His employer gives him a car, a plane and a helicopter. He needs to pay taxes on these as well just like a guy in the private sector.
Obama needs to have skin in the game as well.
Once the policies have taken effect it won’t be long before our economy completely crashes. Some will survive and some will not but once we come through the other side those who caused this will be long gone and we can rebuild the Republic.
The ball is in your court Congress. You liberals wanted to end those tax cuts so do it and quit crying about how they will hurt everyone.
You were not worried about that when you were running to cut them so don’t worry now.
Man up and do what you said you were going to do and live with the consequences.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
