So Pelosi can travel in style!



We need our taxes raised to accommodate our liberal tyrants!





. . . and to pay for Nancy Pelosi’s private Air Force One jet to shuttle her “ilk” around the world in style!





Pelosi is demanding a plane that includes 42 business class seats, a fully-enclosed state room, an entertainment center, a private bed and a crew of 16. Aides to Pelosi argue she needs the larger plane because she wants to be able to take other members of California’s congressional delegation, family members, staff and supporters with her on trips, and wants to be able to make the trip non-stop coast-to-coast. Poor, Nancy – how awful it must be for her to stop to refuel in those “red states” in “flyover country” on the way home to San Francisco!

Believe it or not, last week Pelosi even requested a plane to fly from Washington D.C. to Williamsburg, Virginia, for the House Democrats’ retreat -- a mere 150 miles. What would Al Gore say? Speaking to the Washington Times, a source in the Department of Defense termed Pelosi’s request “carte blanche,” suggesting that she wants a plane capable of carrying an entourage just like President Bush, who flies on Air Force One, or Vice President Cheney, who also flies on military planes. Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), meanwhile, suggests we refer to the plane as “Pelosi One.” (Bauer)

I'll second the motion for another revolution. The majority of Americans have been living with their heads in the sand for far to long, it is time for them to 'Wake Up' and realize that Freedome IS NOT FREE!

If we don't take back our country from these far left liberals we will continue down this path to the new Liberal Socialist Ideal Society. Pelosi and Ried will lead the way in raising our taxes to pay for their hifalutin' life style and Mr. Joe "I was to lazy to finish High School" sits on his butt in front of a t.v. and collects welfare off the back of hard working Americans. Then tax us more to pay for "Universal Health Care" so we can all have the privilege of waiting in line for months for any kind of treatment and be forced to settle for some half witted Dr. who got his degree from the "Acme Institute of Medicine" in India or Pakistan! 

To top it off they will continue to steal OUR Social Security to pay for research into the new FAD notion of Global Warming (what a JOKE!), new buildings in New York for the "Hate America" UN crowd and murdering the unborn. 

I'm just waiting for them to introduce a Bill to repeal the second amendment so we can no longer protect ourselves or fight back when the time comes for all of us to take a stand....

Agreed. Thomas Jefferson said something to that effect, "What matters it if in a century or two the tree of liberty is watered by the blood of patriots."

That's not the exact quote, but he knew that every couple of hundred years, government would need to be 'corrected.'

He, Adams, Franklin, Patrick Henry, and the rest must be weeping at what has happened to the nation they created.

I agree the time is coming very soon where we might have to take matters into our own hands.

Not to get off topic, but this coupled with the wonderful Idea of HR 1022 makes revolution an option we all must consider if the worthless fools running our government keep moving as they have been for the past few months...

We need to take this country back not just from the libs, but from Those People on Capitol Hill - all of them. Consider the number of Senators and Congresscreatures combined and can anyone honestly say the majority are good? Can they say half of them deserve to be there? How about a quarter of them?

Saying a quarter of 535 or so might be beginning to get in the ballpark. The rest need to be booted out and replaced with the janitor in the office building, the plumber who cleans your drains, the carpenter who builds the house down the street, or the guy who pumps your gas (where that still applies).

Enough of lawyers and wealthy do nothings who never in their life held a job. We need real working people who understand the rest of us.

Boy, are we in trouble... This woman is frightening.  Take special note of the last paragraph.  Is she really this whacked out?
 
          Nancy Pelosi condemned the new record highs of the stock market as "just another example of Bush policies helping the rich get richer".    "First Bush cut taxes for the rich and the economy has rebounded with new record low unemployment rates, which only means wealthy employers are getting even wealthier at the expense of the underpaid working class". 
 
       She went on to say, "Despite the billions of dollars being spent in Iraq our economy is still strong and government tax revenues are at all time highs.  What this really means is that business is exploiting the war effort and working Americans, just to put money in their own pockets". 
 
       When questioned about recent stock market highs she responded, "Only the rich benefit from these record highs. Working Americans, welfare recipients, the unemployed and minorities are not sharing in these obscene record highs". "There is no question these windfall profits and income created by the Bush administration need to be taxed at 100% rate and those dollars redistributed to the poor and working class".  "Profits from the stock market do not reward the hard work of our working class who, by their hard work, are responsible for generating these corporate profits that create stock market profits for the rich. We in congress will need to address this issue to either tax these profits or to control the stock market to prevent this unearned income to flow to the rich." 
 
        When asked about the fact that over 80% of all Americans have e investments in mutual funds, retirement funds, 401K's, and the stock market she replied "That may be true, but probably only 5% account for  90% of all these investment dollars That's just more "trickle down" economics claiming that if a corporation is successful that everyone from the CEO to the floor sweeper benefit from higher wages and job security which is ridiculous".  "How much of this 'trickle down' ever get to the unemployed and minorities in our county? None, and that's the tragedy of these stock market highs." 
 
        "We democrats are going to address this issue after the election when we take control of the congress. We will return to the 60% to 80% tax rates on the rich and we will be able to take at least 30% of all current lower Federal Income Tax payers off the roles and increase government income substantially. We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest." 
 
       
When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied;  "We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities.  For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long ways to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as "Americans"."

That's why welfare recipients need to get off of their rears and start making something of themselves! To get a piece of the pie, you must work for it! Good Lord! My wife and I don't get welfare, but we aren't much above it... But guess what? We will one day.  (Get a piece of the pie, that is) Something tells me, going to school, or maybe Job Corps or the like, will get you off welfare and to making money faster than joining a crack-smoking pow-wow.

 

As for a revolution, count me in. The sooner the better. My family would not like to hear the news, but I will be on the front lines to make sure my 2 year old, and his children, will HAVE an America. The right to bear arms was put there with the knowledge that power corrupts, and from time to time a 'cleansing' of the top would be needed. I'll say it again: Time to get career politicians out, and put normal, God-fearing citizens back in there to lead the people!

 

And as for Pelosi's 'trickle down' and whatnot... Why do we remove personal responsibility all the time? Who cares that the unemployed don't get a part of the profits as a result of stocks? GET A JOB! Which makes me even more pissed about the minimum wage increase. It is called MINIMUM for reason, isn't it? To give people that start there a motivation for more. So they can develop a work ethic, strive to be promoted and work their way up. PROVE YOURSELF!!!!!

I'm done, before my head explodes. Or implodes... Neither would feel good.

I don't believe you people!

Bush has spent this nation into oblivion on wars, BASED ON LIES. He has squandered the fruits of TAXPAYERS to give to his rich ILK buddies. He has wounded or permanently maimed the best and brightest of our youth on wars. He has LIED, STOLEN and MURDERED. He is selling American jobs to foreigners. He even belongs to a Satanic cult ...and all you can do is whine about dummy-craps.

No wonder this nation will fall.

The economy is doing very well.  Bush of course doesn't get credit for it.  I know we don't like Bush for his border policies, but in some of the other areas I like what he has done.

Pelosi is a spoiled brat woman.  There is no reason why she can't use public transportation.  Was she crowned queen or something?

The economy is not doing very well. The dollar is fixed to the price of oil and it is only because it is being kept artficially high that it appears that way. But Iran has started trading oil for Euros and the Russians and Chinese will soon follow. The US will NOT be able to stand the onslaught because most of our debt is in foreign investment. THEY HAVE THE CONTROL. You don't and I don't.

As more and more oil exporting nations build their own trading beorsh, they will trade in any currency they please. There was a time when oil could only be purchased in dollats on the NY or London exchange (and all ountries were willing to comply) but Bush has destroyed any good will this nation had and the ramifications will be felt for many years to come. 

Every nation is turning their back on the US. It will be a "slow" process because many FOREIGN nations have hugh dollar reserves, but that is changing. You can't see this of course because one of the things the feds did was to stop publishing the M3 money supply. This act alone should IMMEDIATELY raise a flag, but most people do not even realize that the M3 is no longer published--or that it ever was--or even what M3 money means.

The last act of any government before it falls, is to loot the treasury. Well that is EXACTLY what the corporate welfare queens are doing.

the fall of Rome was 100s of years in the making. The fall of the city and the population of that city was much much shorter and caused in a large part by most of the city's population being on WELFARE. Free food, free entertainment, free housing, free income granted by the SENATE to control the city's population. Eventually BARBARIANS had to be recruited for the ARMY since Roman Citizens would not enlist for their state duty, they were content with the freebies. Welfare affected their sense of duty, their sense of morals, their drive to prosper economically. Tax payers were barbarians, foreigners, businessmen, private citizens outside the city of Rome. Eventually Rome's enemies attacked without fear...since their enemies KNEW Roman citizens would not protect their own city..................Do you see any similarities to where our country is headed?

Yes I have simplified a bit but the overall point is true of the Fall of Rome. Perhaps our country will be attacked from without, or perhaps by within as taxpayer private citizens tire of a Socialist Welfare Society where the hardworking FOOT the BILL !

Fed wiring Social Security payments to illegals?

Illegal Immigration News in the USOfficials say no, but new task force probing 'growing' benefit fraud

Amid the U.S. government's acknowledgment of rampant document and benefit fraud, the Federal Reserve is wiring 26,000 Social Security payments every month to Mexicans south of the border.

Officials with the Federal Reserve and Social Security Administration insist payments are not going to illegal aliens but admit they cannot be certain. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security has launched a new task force to address the "growing" problem of benefit fraud, including in the Social Security Administration.

Jean Tate, spokeswoman for the Federal Reserve, said 26,000 of the 27,000 payments made monthly via the Fed's "Directo a Mexico" service are for Social Security recipients.

I have just paid out an arm and 3/4 of my right leg on taxes this year.

I have about had all I can take. I have a 14 yr old son in a hospital on suicide watch. $25,000.00 in medical bills I cannot even begin to pay. Yet the heartless IRS thinks nothing of ripping me off every year simply because I work for a living.

Does our government not understand as regards we middle class citizens on the fast track to the bottom - Nothing, absolutely nothing, can be built without a middle. You have a bottom layer, a middle layer, and a top layer. Without the middle, there is no building up. It's all down - and flat.
