Nancy Pelosi at it again!
Anyone who understands a fiat monetary system, our system, knows that most retirement funds lose real value and are not exactly what a person hopes for at the end of their worklife. Some are, and those typically go to people in the public sector. We contribute greatly to those through a myriad of taxes.

Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people, you're so damned stupid that we're going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you. That's what the Speaker of the House is saying. Read below...............

Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. This woman is a nut case! You aren't going to believe this.

Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401Ks and Mutual Funds! Alas, it is true - all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities!

Boy, are we in trouble... This woman is frightening. She quotes..." 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'."
Send it on to your friends. I just did!! This lady is out of her mind.

She's not only out of her mind she's an arrogant _itch along with it.  She thinks if she doesn't allow anti-illegal alien bills to come to the floor that she can eventually get amnesty for all of the illegals.  If the people of California re-elect her in November it will prove they are as crazy as she is.  But she is just one of many.

On March 13 the U.S. House of Representatives voted to revise the Budget through the end of 2013 and allow the 2001-2003 "Bush Tax Cuts" to expire at the end of 2010. 
Bill number H Con Res 312.  The bill passed the House 212-207. 
I hope Democrats take the heat for this in November


GET CONGRESS ATTENTION! CHANGE YOUR W-4 AT WORK AND CLAIM 10 DEPENDENTS SO NO TAXES WILL BE TAKEN FROM YOUR PAYCHECK. WHEN THE MONEY STOPS COMING IN MAYBE THEY WILL REMEMBER THEY ARE SERVANTS TO WE THE PEOPLE.

This woman, having become the first woman speaker of the house, feels she is the most powerful woman in the world and tries to show it in everything she does. It is time for her to use some of her excellent health care benefits we provide for good psychiatric help. She is out of touch with reality and lives only in the "shadows of her mind".

Her facist and socialist views have no place in a Constitutionally based government so she tries to amend it at every turn. She has her "fellow representatives" under her thumb and now wants to subjugate the rest of the country to the point of poverty. Her belief is that she is the most intelligent person in the world and no other opinions matter. 

It is time to do a serious restructuring of our congress. We pay these people and they maintain their opulent lifestyle with the extras from lobbyists, back door deals, et al, and they  feel they have the right to dictate our lifestyle. We are the ones who are called to "cut back" while they continue to spend us into bankruptcy. We are over "represented". Time to outsource them and/or cut back on their numbers.

The "cutting back" can also come from the return of the money and cancellation of the bill  congress passed to guarantee their raises. Their last raise of $4000+ per person on an "average" salary of $165,000 (Pelosi makes more for being speaker of the house) totals over $1,740,000, added to the $45 million plus they already receive and would go a longer way toward improving our economy than the mere pittances most Americans make on "windfall" profits. Allowing ILLEGALS to stay in this country and "suck" taxpayer dollars out of the economy through welfare programs, medical care, our education system, not to mention lowering our standard of living by their working for low wages and benefitless jobs, is communistic. And if this is what she wants, equality for all, she should be prepared herself to get off her high horse and be equal with the rest of us  - at the bottom of the heap.

Have you noticed she is also totally for Obama?  I believe that is because Hillary is more independant, plus Hillary has enemies in congress in her own party who would vote against some of her policies, but, if Obama is elected, due to everyone "swooning" over him as a rock star, Pelosi believes that anything they (the Dems) want will then be passed as no Dem would dare vote against such a popularly elected Prez!!

Think about it......



If you have to hyphenate your race--you are NOT an American!! This from a French-German-English-Irish-AMERICAN! See how silly this can become?

Also, being for Obama guarantees that if he is elected, she will remain the most influential woman in the country, regardless of Michelle's ill-conceived statements. And although I shudder when I think of Hillary as president, a  woman president would put a bump in Pelosi's road. We can only hope "Pride goeth before the fall".

But it would be nice if they actually did vote on some of the things that are passed.

If this is true, it's certainly bad news.  This info has been going around in an email for a while now.  Why isn't it covered more on the news?

That's a rhetorical question, right?  If you really have to ask, you haven't been paying much attention...

According to Snopes (as I posted earlier) IT IS AN URBAN MYTH -- i.e., NOT TRUE!

http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/pelosi.asp

I despise Pelosi also, but let's cite only factual stuff -- Okey-dokey?

While this particular article might not be factual, Pelosi has been instrumental in dictate what she finds acceptable and what she will not abide. Her efforts on behalf of amnesty for illegal aliens, together with her total disregard for the LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZEN and our needs and desires for this country and our lifestyles is becoming more unbearable. She has no concept of how an average American citizen has to live day by day and what they have to contend with. Her arrogance is unbelievable. Her attitude of being super intelligent compared to the rest of society, and even her own congressional circle is unacceptable. She is still supposed to be a PUBLIC servant. She is one of the main sources of our problem of what is wrong with America today.

We have become a caste system in her eyes. Gone are the days of "Majority Rules". Gone is the "American Dream".

It is on snopes, however you can also find links to interviews with the original quote from her.  It's not an urban myth.

Can you provide links to quotes?

Per snopes, this did not correspond to anything she actually said or proposed.  It's a parody of extremes based on Democratic stereotypes ...........

The people from California on here need to get the word out on her underhanded tactics.  Most people don't know and some don't care anyway but the MSM is not going to publish anything against her and her support for everything for the illegal aliens.  She has done everything she can to keep bills from coming to the floor if they have anything in them that is negative towards illegal aliens.  She loves them and doesn't give a tinker's damn about the U.S. citizens.  The people of California need to know this.  She is up for re-election in November and she is one of those we need to do away with.

I too would like to see links to this matter also Jim. Snopes is a great thing to have at our fingertips, but I want to see something from somewhere else. We all know what Peloooosi is really all about and yes, I agree, she is on something. HA!

Well, IMO she is the political version of Leona Helmsley, she is the super rich  b*** who gets to look down on and abuse us "little people" while making nicey nicey with those who kiss her ring (ie the illegal amnesty lobbyists)....

Do I see any link to Pelosi's statement? No.  Do I believe she said it?  Absolutely.  You just souldn't make something up that is so close to her actual value system.  Even if these aren't her words exactly, which part of this is not Nancy in all her glory?

The people in CA know Ms. Nancy and don't put anything past her.

The "hispanic caucus" is her best friend and she won't be happy until America is gone and we are all speaking Spanish.

Sorry - would love to get rid of her but she has a silver tongue and keeps the San Fran group in control - so she keeps getting re-elected.

But I don't think anyone in CA doesn't know her for who she is.

Most people in this County don't.  They don't even know who is in line for Presidency should something happen to Bush and Cheney.  Ask around, you'll be amazed.  I do my own little surveys at times, and I want to write a book so much.  I haven't figured out yet if it will be a comedy or a tragedy.
