The Wayfarer Philosophy

Senator Bill Nelson of Florida has never found a spending opportunity that he doesn’t like. He supported the $787 billion stimulus bill that did not work and was rushed through, he even supported more spending than that and is now behind the new stimulus spending that Obama wants to do with some of the TARP funds that have been paid back or haven’t been spent yet. Bill Nelson supports the “government option” and does not want to see a healthcare bill without the government in full control of every aspect of the healthcare system in this country. Yet…

He has found one are where he thinks we can save some money. He supports the $500 billion cut from Medicare int he Senate healthcare bill. John McCain promoted an amendment to keep Medicare cuts from happening in the Senate bill. Senator Bill Nelson of Florida voted against the amendment, and apparently thinks Medicare is one fine thing to cut in spite of all his loose spending everywhere else. That’s a good decision, right? Florida does not have a large retired population that is dependent on Medicare, right? f

The only way that Bill Nelson has continued in the Senate for so long is because he has been able to fly under the radar, and avoid attention. He runs as a moderate, but he’s nothing but a big government, big spending liberal. Hopefully now he’ll get some attention in screwing the senior citizens of Florida.

Senator Bill Nelson of Florida has always tried to hide behind the label of being a moderate. Since the Obama administration has taken power, and Nancy Pilosi and Harry Reed have been driving the houses of congress, however, Bill Nelson has marched in lock step with all of the far left wing of the Democratic party. He’s been a big spending member of the Senate Finance committee, and has participated in the no-accountability aspect of how the congress has been acting. You remember the fact that a lot of the recent major bills ahve been passed through a rush process where not only do the American people not get to review the legislation before its voted on, but the congress members themselves vote on it before reading it. Well, Bill Nelson is taking the side of non-transparency and not reading the bills before signing them

Bill Nelson has been voting for all of these bills promoted by the far left wing of the Democrat party. He regularly do3es not announce his positions on issues until after the vote. For example, you cannot get his position on the Employee Free Choice Act (Card Check). He doesn’t want to let you know, so he can vote the way he wants and then not have to deal with the opinons of his constituents until later. Now, he fell in line with John Kerry of Massachusetts in voting against providing the American people witht he healthcare legislation that comes out of the Senate for 72 hours prior to voting on it. He and the far left Democrats say that it is a “delay tactic.” Well, for legislation that does not take effect until 2013, what’s the problem with letting the people know about it before you vote on it? What’s wrong with having aenough time to read it yourself as senator before voting on it?

Bill Nelson has not announced whether he supprots a government insurance policy (a.k.a. public “option”), but hsi voting in the Senate Finance Committee has shown that he does. While he voted down the first amendment to put in a “public option,” he voted in favor of Chuck Schumer’s amendment for a “community option.” Does Bill Nelson think we’re dumb and don’t know that Schumer’s “community option” is a government plan? the other thing is that it is really not an option. For example, the plans they are working on now will fine someone who does not sign up for a government approved plan $1900.00 a year. So, if they ahve to fine you for not taking the plan, is it a good plan? Everyone’s talking about how it’ll be free or at least cheap. If it’s chep and/or free, would they ahve to fine you for not buying into it?

Let the record show, Senator Bill Nelson of Florida falls in line with the far left of the Democrat party and is totally in favor of pushing legislation through without letting the American people reading it, or reading it himself. he is the poster child for what is wrong with our senators and representatives these days. Florida, let’s get rid of Bill nelson in 2012l.

Well, the Florida jobs numbers came out today. Our unemployment rate is at 10.6%, 1.1% higher than the national rate. This is 4.6% higher than one year ago in Florida. Given this information, let us take a look at what our senators are planning to vote on in the U.S. senate and how that would impact Florida as well as the rest of the nation.

Big Spending Bill nelson in a Nutshell

It is very clear to Floridians now that Bill Nelson is no moderate. he has supported all of the recent big spending bills, to make him, “Big Spending Bill nelson of Florida.” He supported the stimulus package that was not read before voting. Only 10% of the stimulus was released so far. If only this amount was spent after 6 months, what was the big rush to pass the bill without reading it? Basically, the strategy was to avoid people having a chance to see what was in it, because they were told it was a stimulus package, when in reality, it was a left-wing pay off bill sending money to all the groups that helped get the Liberal Democrats elected.

Big spending Bill Nelson voted for it without reading it and he also voted for all the amendments that the Liberals added to make it bigger and voted down all the amendments that called for oversight and security.. or God forbid, cost cutting. He voted for the Omnibus Bill soon after that that included 4,000 pork barrel projects not designed for helping the economy, but for paying off supproter again. Bill Nelson also wanted to spend more on the auto company and bank bailouts than was actually spent! Bill Nelson is no moderate, he’s a big spending Lib!

Bill nelson Wants to Strap a Second Cap and Trade on Us

Now, our Liberal Senator, Bill Nelson, supports cap and trade. Florida already has a cap and trade system in place. This is one of the factors leading to our state’s high unemployment. It also is a direct cause of the high electric rates we have been paying the last two years. Companies and businesses also are paying higher rates, and that contributes to the amount of people they can hire and retain. Additionally, the use of fossil fuel energy in any company brings on a heavy tax burden as well. cap and Trade has hurt Florida, and now Bill Nelson wants to strap it on the whole country. As a result, Florida will be under 2 Cap and Trade systems, the state and the federal government. looks like unemployment is going to even higher thanks to Bill Nelson.

The National Black Chamber of Commerce, a Democratic group, even estimates that the Cap and Trade bill passed by the House of Representatives under heavy pressure from Nancy Pilosi and Barack obama will cost Americans an average of 2.5 million jobs per year. This figure also takes in account all the “green jobs” that they hope to create. When you have a Democratic group calculating such heavy job losses on their own legislation, you have to know that it can only be worse than that, not better. So, look out Florida, we are going to get hit really hard with out of control unemployment.

Cap and Trade will also make it harder to sell your home. In Florida, the housing market is severely crippled. On top of this, Bill Nelson is happy for us to have Federal Energy Regulations that will trump any state or local regulations. You will need energy certification from a federal beaurovrat to get PERMISSION to sell your home. You will need to update appliances, sealing on windows, and all the other energy0saving expenses that this left-wing government wants.

Mel “The Smell” Martinez

So, we have a left-wing Liberal in Bill Nelson, and now Mel Martinez, on his way out, decides he wants to be a Liberal Republican. he too supports Cap and Trade, which will kill jobs in Florida and hurt the job market. He doesn’t have to worry about running for election again, but let’s hope he doesn’t show up in some other position somewhere, because he stinks. Despite the fact that most Republicans are against the heavy-handed, job-killing Cap and Trade tax, this Liberal Republican wants to go for it. Why? Is he hoping to become a lobbyist for some far-left organization or something?

Let’s cap Bill Nelson and trade him in. Spread the word!

Who is Debbie Smith?

While we really hope that Debbie Smith wins her fight against cancer, since she is standing up for the Obamacare Health Plan, we should at least know a little bit more about her. With her tear-jerking story about having discovered another tumor, being without work, and wanting help with her condition, Debbie Smith became the poster child for Obamacare, as Barack Obama promised to help her during his town hall meeting on Wednesday. Obama claimed that a wealthy country like ares should be able to provide healthcare for people like Debbie Smith and emotionally promised to help her after the meeting.

What did not get statesd was that the Obamacare movement has been in contact with Debbie Smith since December 23, 2008. At that time, Tom Daschle was the presumed nominee for the H.H.S. cabinet position before his tax problems became public. During this time, Debbie Smith began working as an Obamacare activist, conducting town hall meetings and moderating healthcare meetings all across Virginia for the Democrats’ plan. So, while we are tol that she is out of a job and unable to work, we were not told that she is actually working as a healthcare activist for the Obama administration. So, this tear-jerking scene on Wednesday was staged in that Obama was well aware of her all along. Additionally, it seems like Debbie Smith is able to work and has been for the Democratic party for the last 7 months.

What about Medicaid?

There is already a government health program that is supposed to provide healthcare to those who are low income or not working. It is called Medicaid. Medicaid is basically bankrupt because of our nation’s out of control spending and mishandling of the program. Instead of trying to fix this program and restore some fiscal responsibility in Washington’s spending, Obama wants to expand the government’s failed programs in the healthcare industry to the entire industry. Given the track record of the government’s handling of Medicare and Medicaid, what makes us think that the government should get more control over healthcare and actually be successful this time?

People whoa re in the potion of Debbie Smith should be able to take advantage of this already existing government program. If it isn’t working right, then that shows that the government needs to reform what it already has implemented rather than taking over more of the healthcare industry. But, as we know now, most people are not in Debbie Smith’s position of being a spokesperson for Obamacare.

Bill Nelson of Florida gets in on the Tumor Act

On Wednesday, Obama’s Democratic henchmen, Florida Senator, Bill Nelson, got in on the tumor act as well. Nelson is calling for investigations of a Palm Beach County community where there are a number of brain tumor cases. Nelson beleives that there is some environmental reason for the brain tumor cases there and is calling upon the EPA to investigate. It is funny how Bill Nelson declares it to be an environmental problem before there is even an investigation. He also is not saying what environmental problem it could be, just that it is probably an environmental problem.

Bill Nelson is a left-wing Democrat who sells himself as a “moderate Democrat” to Florida. He has backed all of the big spending that the Obama movement has engaged in. He also supports Obamacare and the Cap and Trade tax. In order to pretend he is a moderate, he made up an excuse for why he is against offshore drilling off of the coast of Florida. Knowing that Floridians would benefit from the large increase in jobs and energy resources that this would provide, Bill Nelson is against because he says that it would interfere with military training that is conducted off of the coast of Florida. This is a line of BS to try to make his left-wing anti-drilling position more agreeable to moderates. The military has no problem witht he drilling off of the coast of Florida. Bill Nelson just wants to come up with another excuse other than the fact that he is against fossil fuels and is a member of the global warming alarmist community in Washington.

The timing of Bill Nelson’s “Tumor-gate” and Barack Obama’s “Tumor Moment” Wednesday is quite a coincidence. It’s as if there is some sort of left-wing think tank that has just decided that “Tumor Propaganda” would be a good move for them all to take right now. The irony is that those who suffer from later stages of cancer will be the first to be deprived of healthcare in the rationing that will ensue if Obama gets his healthcare plan passed. Just like state-run healthcare plans in Canda and the UK, later term cancer patients are the first to be refused expensive care since their probabilities are not high enough to warrant spending on their care.

He’s retiring and in less than 2 years, we will have a new senator in Florida to replace Mel Martinez. I guess that’s why he’s being weak and not supporting the Conservative philosophy nor the Constitution. Apparently, the liberal activist judge, Sonia Sotomayor, is perfectly fine with Mel Martinez. Here’s the one vote the Democrats need to put her in. Although he’s retiring, if Mel Martinez wants to have a future in politics beyond this point, he might want to explain why he supports a bigot on the court.

A Letter to Mel Martinez

Dear Senator Martinez,

I have been happy with your representation of Florida recently, but I have to strongly disagree with your support of Sonia Sotomayor as Supreme Court Justice.

We need to look past the fact that nominating a female Latina as a justice on the court would be nice, and focus on her views as a judge and her record. Her views are not those of a judge. A judge is supposed to interpret law and not put forward their own personal opinion. She has written and spoken about how she feels that her personal experience makes her better qualified as a judge than other racial groups and genders. This is a judge that takes cases too personally and should not be on the highest court in the land.

Additionally, she feels that her role as an appeals court justice is to make policy! She was recorded as saying such and did not depart from that opinion. If we even look at her record, she has voted with personal opinion a number of times in the face of law. She has had her opinions overturned by the Supreme Coutr 5 out of 6 times!

The prejudice that she showed in the Richie case, where she supported race-based hriing instead of supporting test-based exams. This is not the kind of justice that we need in this country.

I am very disappointed in your decision.

In fact, Sonia Sotomayor’s comment that she is more qualified than white males also includes Mel Martinez. He’s a white Hispanic man.

I am focusing this post on Senator Bill Nelson (D) of Florida because he is one of the 2 senators that represent the state of Florida in the U.S. senate. I focus on Bill Nelson here, because I think he is dead wrong on the Cap and Trade< tax. He has been supporting all the big spending bills that have been put before the Senate since the beginning of the year, and even back through last fall. He is a member of the Senate Budget Committee, and he has been strapping huge amounts of debt on the American people and is now in lock step with the far-left in putting the largest tax in U.S. history on the backs of the American people during a recession. This is all done in false claims about Environmental issues.

I document my letter to Senator Bill Nelson in a previous post. Here is the ltter again.

Dear Senator Nelson,

I am disappointed in your stand in favor of the cap and trade tax. This is the greatest tax increase in American history, and you are putting it on the backs of the American people during, what your own Democratic Party calls “the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression.”

Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant. It is what we exhale when we breathe, and without it, there would be no green plant life living on this planet. How can you declare such a falsehood of Carbon Dioxide being a pollutant as an excuse to tax the American people heavily?
s
Even the Global Warming crowd is admitting now that the Earth has been cooling over the last 10 years, and the American people are realizing that their claims have been grossly over-exaggerated. At this point in time, you want to use such hype as a way to tax the air around us to satisfy your left-wing activist groups.

You used to say that you were a modrate, but it is obvious that you are not.

Senator Bill Nelson’s Response and my Debate

Here’s Bill acting like he’s giving advice to Obama. Actually, it’s just a photo-op. Bill pretty much just follows along like a lost puppy.

Dear Dr. Moore:

Thank you for contacting me regarding proposals to limit harmful carbon emissions.

Senator starts of his letter with a either a lie or an example of ignorance. Carbon Dioxide is the gas that plants need to live and it is a gas that we exhale every time we breathe out. It is not harmful. The EPA and the U.S. Supreme Court declared it harmful because they are also politically motivated. When political motivation leads you to state things that false and is something that we all learned in high school biology, then you know that the politics are very dirty.

I am interested in such proposals because they would let the free enterprise, private marketplace–not the government–dictate how to lower pollutants.

Bill Nelson is completely full of crap in this next statement too. It is not based on free market principles for the government to levy fines on companies for emitting a gas that is not a pollutant. He declares the gas that plants breathe a pollutant and also states that this is based on free market principles. Free market principles do not make a pure gas a pollutant nor punish industry for producing it!

The best way to bring jobs and prosperity back to this country is also the best way to end our dependence on foreign oil and protect the Earth we leave for future generations: building things in America again, starting with wind turbines, solar panels, and energy-efficient products. We have led in every technological revolution of the last two centuries: electricity, the telephone, automobiles, television, computers, and there’s no reason we can’t lead this one.

Bill Nelson is so full of it in this statement. If you fine companies for producing Carbon Dioxide, they have to make up for that expense by raising their prices on EVERYBODY and probably eliminating jobs. If you punish business, jobs go down! If you want to get off foreign oil, you need to drill here and not punish American companies that produce it! At least do this until the alternatives are stronger in being able to handle our energy needs. Instead of punishing foreign oil, he’s punishing American oil, natural gas, and coal! Coal is the largest resource that we use for electricity, so guess what?! Our electric bills are going up! This means for private citizens as well as businesses. Talk about ajob killer, when all the businesses in the country have to pay higher utility bills, I think they just might start reducing jobs! This Cap and Trade tax is going to recude jobs, not create them! Bill Nelson is a liar.

Americans will not pay higher taxes if Congress limits carbon emissions. Instead, industrial polluters will be required to pay. I will work to ensure that if the government makes money from this program it will be returned to taxpayers, so polluters will pay more and consumers will not.

This is another line of crap from Bill nelson. If you are charging utility companies for producing Carbon Dioxide, they either have to pass that expense on to the consumer, or go out of business. Or, are you going to keep up with your big spending ways and bail them out for the taxes you put on them?! Everything that is produced requires electricity. Grocery stores will pay more for their electric, and food prices go up. Shipping companies need to pay more for using gas in their trucks, so everything that gets shipped to the store will cost more! This is nothing but a huge tax on everyone based on a lie. Big Spending Bill Nelson needs to squeeze more money out of us to pay for his big spending habits.

In fact, here’s Barack Obama, the Messiah himself, telling us how our utility costs will “Necessarily skyrocket.”

I appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts with me, and I respect your views. Please feel free to contact me again in the future regarding any additional issues of concern.

You do not appreciate any thoughts other than your own. Big Spending Bill Nelson will be up for re-election in

, which is too far away. In about two years he’ll start acting like a moderate Democrat to get re-elected. Let it be known –

SENATOR BILL NELSON OF FLORIDA IS A BIG SPENDING LIBERAL

Senator Bill Nelson has been voting for all the big spending bills, bailout bills, budget-breaking bills, and now he needs to slam us all with the biggest tax increase of U.S. history to pay for the big spending that he and his party have been engaged in.

The greatest tax in American history is upon us. The left-wing arm of the Democratic Party is leading the moderates around by the nose.

What is Cap and Trade?

Simply put, it is a tax on anything that produces Carbon Dioxide. You know that gas that we breathe out when we exhale and the gas that all plant life breathes and needs to live? The EPA, under command from left-wing groups has declared it a pollutant. Therefore, it will be taxed if Henry Waxman, who is sponsoring the bill, gets it through.

So What, it doesn’t hurt to Reduce Carbon Dioxide

Actually, you can turn that around and say “So what, Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant and its affect on the climate is grossly over-exaggerated by the Global Warming Flat-Earthers. Namely, the Earth has been cooling for the last 10 years, Carbon Dioxide is 0.04% of the atmosphere, and this tax will make everything cost more for everybody. It is also the most regressive tax that you can have in that it will hurt the lower income people the most. Since Obama gets more money from the Liberal Elite, he’s willing to sell out the poor for this cause.

So What Gets Taxed??

Everything. Every product you buy gets shipped from one place to another. Trains, planes, and trucks all emit Carbon Dioxide. These shipping comapnies will be taxed heavily, so everything you buy, such as groceries, clothing…whatever… will cost a lot more. Your utility bills will go up since most of our electric is manufactured by coal. The rise in costs to the average person are estimated at the low end of $3100.00 a year. Even with solar panels and windmills, it will take decades for the country to reduce the amount of fossil fuel useful that we have. Instead of promoting alternatives, the government wants to make us suffer over what we have and still do need.

Seeing how nuclear power plants do not emit Carbon Dioxide or any pollutants, they are a good way to help us escape this taxation, but the government, under the leadership of the loony left does not want them. Solar panels and windmills are it, simply because nuclear power is related to nuclear weapons, and therefore, it is all evil to the campfire singers. Even solar panels and windmills are evil to some of the greeny weenies out there. They don’t want fields to loose theyir beauty by having them there. They want us all to return to living by candlelight at night.

What can we do?

Write your congressman and senators. Here is my letter to Senator Bill Nelson of Florida who supports the Cap and Trade Tax. He used to be a moderate Democrat, but he’s firmly on the big spending, left-wing Liberal bandwagon, and has been ever since Barack Obama got elected.

Dear Senator Nelson,

I am disappointed in your stand in favor of the cap and trade tax. This is the greatest tax increase in American history, and you are putting it on the backs of the American people during, what your own Democratic Party calls “the greatest economic crisis since the Great Dpression.”

Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant. It is what we exhale when we breathe, and without it, there would be no green plant life living on this planet. How can you declare such a falsehood of Carbon Dioxide being a pollutant as an excuse to tax the American people heavily?

You used to say that you were a modrate, but it is obvious that you are not.

Nobody’s Stopping Alternatives

The thing that gets me is that no one’s stopping alternative energy from being marketed or used. So, why attack fossil fuels? Why not let the market and time take its course as alternatives are used more and fossil fuels used less? Why tax the hell out of the American people during a recession to do this? Why? Because the left-wing loonies are in charge and they want to do it their way. Punish industry and punish the masses.

Barack Obama had consistently stated throughout the presidential campaign that he was going to unite the nation and make us proud of our country again. Well, I never lost pride in my country, but we are starting to see now what are Obama’s priorities in making himself proud of the country again. Most of these endeavors, policies, and photo ops seem to be directed toward members of the international community that do not like our country. Does he think that he will change their minds or is he just setting up our country as an opportunity of weakness?

Below, I list a number of comparisons between those things that Barack Obama seems to like and those things he does not seem to like as he steers our country “forward” to his ideals of being a country that gives him pride.

• First priority was to close down Guantanamo Bay. While it will take a year to figure out what to do about the detainees there, it was very important for him to close it down. This also meant suspending the trial of the man who planned and coordinated the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole.
• The term “terrorist” is bad. We do not want to seem politically incorrect, so from now on terrorist activities must be referred to as “man-made disasters.” Despite this change of language to Obama’s newspeak vocabulary, his Homeland Security Office released a warning for law officials to be on the lookout for domestic “terrorists” (still using that word) that have pro-life bumper stickers, have complaints about high taxation, and who are veterans returning from way. The famous memo can be downloaded here. I will address this report more fully in another post.
• We no longer refer to our “war on terrorism” as such, but as an “overseas contingency plan.” Even though we are actively engaged in two wars abroad, we really do not want to use that word. The pursuit of the “man-made disaster causers,” Alkaid is really just part of an “overseas contingency plan.” Funny how the original vocabulary seems a little more accurate than Obama’s newspeak vocabulary.
• Relations with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and the Casto brothers of Cuba is so very important. The congressional black caucus went to Cuba a couple of weeks ago, and for their efforts we now have more relaxed restrictions on Cuba in exchange for… nothing on their part. Hopefully they’ll think Obama’s a really nice guy and decide to let some of their political prisoners go. We do not have many more concessions that we can make. He, Barbara Lee said that Castro was willing to do whatever he could to help Barack Obama. I would have preferred if he would have made an offer to help his own people or relations with our country as a whole rather than just Barack Obama.
• Let’s give Hugo his own line. Well, the photo is famous now, and I don’t think just a photo of shaking hands is all that bad, one needs to be polite. Although, after being called an “idiot” by Chaves two weeks ago, Obama seems pretty happy witht he smile on his face. At least he didn’t bow to Chavez like he did to the king of Saudi Arabia, the high priest of the violent Wajabi sect of Islam.
• In comparison, the Obama administration has turned its back to the trade agreements with the U.S. ally, Colombia. Even though Colombia stands as a country fighting back leftist terrorism that Hugo Chavez funds, Obama is going to stay away from them and chum it up with Chavez. The trade between the U.S. and Colombia would be beneficial for both countries, and it would be especially helpful during our current economic conditions. This doesn’t make Obama proud, though. He has other ideological concerns to take care of first.
• When asked about the Tea Parties that occurred last week, Obama said that he had not heard of them. Wow, he’s either really out of touch or flat out lying. No big deal, right? He deson’t need to pay attention to his own country that he’s not proud o of, right?
• For those of you who question my assertion that Obama lacks pride in his country, take the Trinidad summit for example. Not only did he chum it up with Chavez, but he sat through two speeches from Chavez and Daniel Ortega that did nothing less than insult the United States and accuse us of ruining the western hemisphere. Chavez even gave our esteemed president a book entitled, Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent. It rose from the basement to be #2 on the Amazon Bestseller List after Obama’s acceptance of the “gift.” Guess who is the pillager in the book… the United States, yes you guessed it. Chavez and Ortega think that we are responsible for all the problems in the western hemisphere. Of course, they have nothing to do with the conditions of their countries… it’s our fault. Obama took it, and he took the speeches too with no rebottle. He did not stand up at all for his country. He just merely defended himself saying that he was 3 years old when the Bay of Pigs happened, so it wasn’t his fault.

Here’s Obama receiving Chavez’s gift. After looking at it, he did not seem all that upset that it was a book bashing America.

After the event, Obama was questioned about how he felt about the gift. this would ahve been an opporunity to stick up for the country and say that he disagreed with its intent. He didn’t do that, he said that it was a nice gesture to give him the book.

The next day, the media was tickled to death taht this book that bashes their country rose from 58,265 on the Amazon bestseller list to #2.

Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny is still #1

Despite his best efforts, Chavez did not knock off Mark Levin from the #1 spot. The contrast of Liberty and Tyranny is not looking so extreme anymore. Actually, it never was extreme. As Ronald Reagan said, we are only one generation away from losing our freedom.

What Other Countries think of us

Since Barack Obama is so concerned about what people in other countries think of us, he should perhaps think about what the political prisoners in Cuba think of our Democratic nation favoring the opinion of their dictator more than themselves. The same could be said for the prisoners being held captive in Venezuela. What about the Colombian people who are facing terrorist (oops – man-made disasters) on a daily basis due to the leftist FARC group that receives funding from Hugo Chavez? Maybe he’s not so upset about their totalitarian rule. Is this such a leap in judgment when he sends out Homeland Security Reports about those who have different political views form him? Download the Homeland Security Report.

During the April 15th Tea Party Day, the mainstream media was working on Barack Obama’s behalf as usual by saying that he kept his promise in lowering taxes on 95% of Americans. Yet, what they do not tell us is that while we do get a tiny reduction in our payroll taxes, in 2010 the Bush tax cuts will expire, and that will effectively be a tax increase on everybody, including 95% of Americans who are not rich. Likewise, Obnama’s so-called “tax cut” is really a tax rebeat. It also lasts two years and will be gone in 2010.

The complaint on April 15th throughout all the Tea Parties was not just high taxation, but out of control spending. American’s are more likely to be confident in paying their tax dollars if they feel that the government is using these dollars wisely and not bankrupting the country and/or leaving a giant burden on the next generation. This argument got left to the side as the media just categorized the Tea Parties as just a small amount of upset Republicans. If they actually would have paid attention, they would have seen a diverse crowd that included Democrats who are upset with how the government is spending frivolously.

The Tax they don’t Tell You About

Below is a video of Barack Obama explaining the effects of Cap and Trade. Notice how is concern is getting the American people to volunteer to tax themselves and put energy companies out of business, thus reducing jobs.

While we are supposed to be happy with our extra 12 dollars a month, under the table the new budget that Obama sent to congress includes cap and trade. In cap and trade, any company that creates what the government considers to be excessive pollutants and carbon will be taxed on that production. Of course, this extra tax will be passed on to the consumer., which is all of us. It is a regressive tax in that it will be harder on those who earn less since their utility and food expenses will be higher and more difficult to pay with lower incomes.

What is most sickening about it is that cap and trade focuses on Carbon. Carbon Dioxide is what we breathe out every second and it is what our green environment needs to breathe. Plant life would not exist without Carbon Dioxide. In this way, the government has incorrectly classified Carbon Dioxide as a pollutant. They do this under the Al Gore-driven belief that the trace amounts of Carbon Dioxide in  the atmosphere have a significant effect on global warming. Many climatologists have actually debunked this belief, but it is still held by the Green Revolution that seeks to obtain power over people through their use of Carbon.

The global warming during the middle ages was not driven by increased Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere, because there were no industries then. Additionally, the Earth is in a cooling cycle right now and has been for the last 9 years. Carbon Dioxide is actually a lagging indicator int hat it rises in quantity after warming in the climate, not before. The amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere is about 4%. The most significant green house gas is water vapor. How do we control that? Put a tax on evaporation? Furthermore, while we tax our own industries and put a financial burden on all Americans during this difficult economic times, India and China will continue to rise in industry and more than make up for our reductions. They will also have booming economies to make up for our self-inflicted decine in productivity as we are shooting ourselves in the foot.
