NO Irene…this is not a case that will go before the Supreme Court…but that is an idea that I would not be opposed to in any shape……
First, I would like to say something….Will you conservs STOP using the term “limited government”! Very little of what you are doing is “limited”…..they are pushing further and further into the lives of Americans and that is NOT “limited”…..thanx for letting me vent…..
Finally! The American people are starting to wake up to the fact that NONE of the Reps in Washington are working in their best interests….and thanx to CNN we have some proof of this……
A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday indicates that 32 percent of the public has a favorable view of the two year old anti-tax movement, which also calls for less government spending and a more limited role for the federal government in our lives. The 32 percent favorable rating is down five points from December.
Forty-seven percent of people questioned say they have an unfavorable view of the tea party, up four points from December and an increase of 21 points from January 2010. That 47 percent is virtually identical to the 48 percent unfavorable ratings for both the Democratic party and the Republican party in the same poll.
NOBODY has a favorable appearance to the people or should I say….the voter….but will it translate to fresh thinking….or fresh faces….or possibly a new party? If the total Congress and the parties have such a negative rating, what can we do as voters to change that?
To me….I will look for a NEW direction for the government and the country….I may be alone in this search but I will do it anyway……The country needs new ideas…new Reps….new parties….the stuff we have now is NOT working!
I am up to the challenge……are you?
P.S. Keep in mind an observation from an observer in the UK on the Tea Party…….”It’s the same in 2011 as it was in 1776 ( I hate to contradict my UK friend but the Party was in 1773 not 1776) when a Boston mob was incited to throw a cargo of tea into the city’s harbour: a bunch of rich folk getting poor folk to help them avoid paying their fair share of tax. Nowadays they don’t even have to get their feet wet. It’s all done on junk TV.”
We appreciate and enjoy political observers from afar. Like bird watching, observing the politicians in Spring time can be entertaining. If people grow weary of overtaxed citizens asking for limiting government, then so be it. The overtaxed grow weary of politicians puffery on emotional tirades of starving senior citizens, and pregnant drug addicts lacking government assistance. With a 1.5 trillion dollar budget, it seems reducing 0.5% will destroy the peace and security of all citizens. As Will Rogers observed, the best entertainment for comedy is always on stage in the House and Senate. Keep enjoying the show.
Hiya hoboduke…….thanx for the visit……the problem is you and I may be overtaxed and yet allow those that can afford it to have all the breaks…..somewhere there has to be a shared sacrifice….meaning all of us pay the same…..no games….no deals….no nothing….you owe./…you pay….
Oh brave new world! Glad you believe in Utopia! Keep believing.
hobo…not that I believe in Utopia….but if you listen to the rhetoric….they all promise a form of it….if we do what the wqant…then we will be much better off….and that is bunk!
