So Trickle Down Does Work
Jun 9, 2014 Political
The idea that when the people at the top make money the money trickles down has been attacked by the left for a long time. It is true that this happens as no poor man ever created jobs or had his money trickle to others. But for those who strike out and do well their prosperity trickles to the workers and those who get jobs. They get a paycheck and they can contribute to society.
I understand why liberals think it does not work. You see, they make lots of money but they keep it. They find ways to avoid taxes and they are not very generous with their own money (liberals are VERY generous with other people’s money).
Barack Obama has had his wealth increase quite substantially since he occupied the White House but that has not trickled down. While he was getting richer people were losing their jobs, having their houses and other property repossessed and have been in line for scraps at the welfare office.
But Obama is doing well.
Harry Reid has finally admitted that trickle down works. Harry and his wife sold their their house in Searchlight Nevada to a mining company for 1.7 MILLION dollars. There is no word on what the appraised value of the home is but I am willing to bet it is not nearly 2 MILLION dollars. This might be like other Reid deals where someone pays him through what looks like a legitimate transaction but is actually part of a shady process.
[note]Reid’s financial disclose listed his most valuable asset as property he owns in Bullhead City Arizona at between 1 and 5 million. Seems to me if this is his most valuable his house is not valued between those two number though he sold it for that much.[/note]
In any event, Reid claimed that the sale of his house will create 60 jobs. I assume this means that 60 people will be hired to work at the expanded mining property but since this is Reid the 60 new hires might be the HAZMAT team required to clean the stench from the place. It might be a 60 person team searching to ensure Reid did not leave any evidence of his past payoffs.
One thing is undeniable. Reid made a lot of money and now the result of that is a trickle down to 60 people who will get jobs.
It looks like money (in this case in the form of jobs) does trickle down from a wealthy guy to the people on the lower rungs of the ladder.
Perhaps the Koch brothers, whose money trickles down to tens of thousands of people, could point this out to Harry so he can stop obsessing over them and get back to working for the money the taxpayers trickle up to him…
Harry Reid has gotten very rich as a “public servant.”
It seems to me the only people he serves (beside himself) and those who are related to him.

Hey Nevada, Thank Harry Reid
May 6, 2014 Obamacare
Harry Reid, the criminal Senator from Nevada, pushed hard for Obamacare. He was busy ensuring his labor union buddies in the casino world got their breaks and they ensured union employees went out to vote to keep ole Harry in the Senate. Obamacare is wonderful Harry tells us.
Well it looks like it will not be so wonderful for tens of thousands of people in Nevada as their premiums are set to go up between 35 and 120 percent. The younger folks will be hit hardest as their premiums rise by a huge amount in order to pay for the others getting subsidized health care. Insurance companies cannot stay in business if they do not have enough money coming in and the young, healthy crowd is the cash cow in the equation.
Local insurance brokers are reporting spikes ranging from 35 percent to 120 percent on policies that renew from July to December. The increases are especially acute among employers with workforces made up of younger, healthier men. That’s because Obamacare prohibits offering lower rates to healthier groups. It also narrows the allowed premium gap between older and younger enrollees. Las Vegas Review Journal
People will definitely have sticker shock. All the mush filled heads who voted for Barack Obama and Harry Reid will get just what they deserve. Unfortunately, so will many who opposed them and their madness.
Harry and his Democrats know that bad things will happen which is why Obama keeps delaying and changing things in Obamacare. He is trying to make sure the bad things do not happen until after the election in November. He and his minions (particularly those in vulnerable seats) are hoping that they can delay the pain until they are safely in their seats for another term (six years for Senators and two for Representatives).
Don’t be fooled people. You are going to feel the pain at some point. no matter how many times they delay the pain will eventually catch you.
Some of the expensive renewals will be mailed out prior to November so people will be hopping mad come Election Day. Look for Reid and the Democrats to do everything they can to prevent that from happening.
Please do not be gullible. If they delay the notifications until after the election the price increase will still come. It matters not when you find out, you will still get the same bad news.
Hold them accountable and vote every Democrat out of office. Send a strong message that they were wrong and that you are making them pay.
You folks who voted for them in the past and begged for government health care actually deserve to get screwed over badly but the rest of us should not be punished for your stupidity.
So let’s replace the tyrants with people who will do a better job and who will listen to the people.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Bill Clinton To Endorse Rangel, SURPRISE!
Apr 22, 2014 Commentary
Bill Clinton will endorse New York’s Charlie Rangel for his 23rd term. Rangel, as you might recall, is a tax cheat and has ethical problems to boot. He went through some rough times because of his illegal activities but Bill is backing him. It makes sense, in a way, because criminals tend to stick together.
Rangel supported Clinton through his impeachment and backed Hillary for her Senate run as well as her run against Obama for the presidency.
Bill is just returning the favor and it comes at an important time for Rangel because he has a strong challenger in the race.
State Senator Adriano Espaillat ran against Rangel two years ago and nearly beat him and how he is running again.
Perhaps the people of this Congressional District can get past the star power of Clinton and put country ahead of the politics. If they do Rangel will be shown the door.
Now there is nothing wrong with Clinton backing Rangel and there is nothing wrong with people voting for him absent wrongdoing.
But Rangel is a criminal and he is living large at the expense of the American people despite his criminal activity.
I guess ranchers who defend against Harry Reid’s shady deals are the only folks we can’t have breaking the law. I mean, has Harry ever said that we can’t have American Congressmen breaking the law?
Then again, Reid is a master lawbreaker as well.
All these old turds stick together and stink up the entire place.
Nothing would be sweeter than seeing Rangel lose big after Clinton’s endorsement.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Democrats Are Good At Pointing Fingers
Mar 25, 2014 Political
We know that Democrats are good at blaming others for their shortcomings. Barack Obama displays this regularly when he blames George Bush for everything that is wrong and when he blames Republicans for things that he is responsible for.
Harry Reid is a typical liberal Democrat who needs to retire and yell at kids walking on his lawn. Reid is blaming the problems in Crimea on Republicans. It seems that Republicans held up aid to Ukraine because the bill includes changes to the IMF. Reid complained that the bill was held up prior to the last break and now that they are back at work the Republicans need to do something so we can show we are committed.
[note]If it was that important then why did they recess and go on a break?[/note]
Harry blamed the Republicans saying that their refusal to comply endangered our national security.
“As we begin debate on this aid and sanctions package, I also hope that the Republicans stopped action on this legislation prior to the break have considered how their obstruction affects our great country’s national security as well as the people of Ukraine who are struggling so very, very much,” Reid said on the floor.
Reid said that Republicans blocking action on the bill sent “a very weak message to the Russians” that the U.S. was taking its time, saying since the bill failed to advance, Russia has been aggressive in the Crimean region of Ukraine.
“It’s impossible to know whether events would have unfolded differently if the United States had responded to this Russian aggression with a strong unified voice, which we did not do,” Reid said. [Politico]
First of all the situation in Ukraine has little to do with our immediate national security (once again, if it does why did they go on break). The Russians did not attack us though their action might cause us to react because of treaties. They only thing they really did was demonstrate that we have a weak leader in Obama. Putin has made Obama look like a child on the playground of life.
That leads to the second point. The refusal of Republicans to act on the bill did not demonstrate weakness, Barack Obama did. He believes that all he has to do is speak and people will be hypnotized by his message. Putin was having none of that and, recognizing he was dealing with a weakling, pressed on.
The final point is that it is not impossible to know if things would have unfolded differently, they would not have. Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney warned of this years ago. They were both mocked and criticized by Obama and his cronies.
Turns out they were right.
Putin has known for a while that Obama is weak. He demonstrated that in the Syrian issue and he knew that he could outplay Obama on the world stage and that Obama would not have the testicular fortitude to do anything.
Putin was right and that, Harry, is why things happened the way they did. The Russians forced their will on the people of Crimea and are turning toward Ukraine to do the same.
You Harry, should understand forcing something on people who do not want it.
We call it Obamacare.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Harry Reid Loves Obamacare
Dec 26, 2013 Political
[This post failed to publish on its intended date.]
But only for you…
Looks like Harry Reid does not think Obamacare is as wonderful as he let on when he helped jam it down our throats. He has exempted part of his staff from the mandate so that they can stay on the federal plan. Members of Congress have discretion with regard to certain staff as to whether they must enroll in the plan while the members and some other staff are required under the law to enroll.
Reid has decided that the Obamacare that is so wonderful it had to be forced upon us is not a great deal for some of his staff.
Seems to me if Reid can exempt some of his staff we should have the ability to exempt ourselves WITHOUT PENALTY.
In other words, why is it that the idea of if you like your plan you can keep it only applies to special folks while the rest of us are forced to get rid of plans we like to meet some federal mandate?
Remember, Harry Reid shut down the federal government over Obamacare. He refused to delay it for a year and allowed the government to shut down over his stubbornness. Now he is exempting part of his staff from the very thing he refused to change to avoid a shutdown.
The strange thing is after Reid allowed the government to shut down Barack Obama allowed the very delays that Republicans wanted because Obamacare is not working. Obama needed to push things past the next election.
Harry Reid, on the other hand, seems not to care about how it looks and what effect it might have on the next election. He exempted staff and Republicans were quick to jump on it.
Reid’s spokesman Adam Jentleson said that they were just following the law. Funny how they are following the law when they want to do something but refuse to follow the law or criticize those who do follow the law.
Cases in point; Reid never said a word about Obama not following the law as written and Reid as well as other Democrats have blamed all the insurance cancellations on insurance companies when they are only following the law.
In any event, keep this in mind during the next election. They impose on you while exempting others.
As an aside, you know Democrats are in trouble when they start invoking God to help them out. Reid and his buddies could very well lose control of the Senate and one of the Democrats in trouble is Mark Pryor of Arkansas. In his new ad he holds an open Bible and invokes God’s name.
Next year might be a real good one if we can get take control of the Senate and even better if we get rid of some RINOs along the way.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
