Have you noticed the headlines lately? Anything pop up that is a common denominator? You would have to have not read any papers or magazines nor watched any TV to not see what is going on!
Congress and the White House are blaming “the banks” for all our current financial problems. Why not blame them for all the crimes, financial and otherwise, that take place?
So, if it is “their” entire fault, let’s tax them to make up for their dastardly deeds.
The White House wants to tax the banks to make up for all the money that was given to other industries and companies. Didn’t most of the banks pay back the money they got? Didn’t they pay interest and dividends while the money was borrowed?
The answer to these questions is YES. And now we want to throw additional taxes on them as punishment and to recoup the funds that were given to other companies that have not paid back the government.
This sounds an awful lot like socialism to me. Do we want to destroy all semblances of initiative in our country? Capitalism has made this country great. It seems like the government really wants us to be a totally socialist country. The Healthcare proposals fit right in with that. So does this current proposal.
We as citizens have to fight this. We have to “unelect” in each of the upcoming elections every incumbent Senator and Representative that is running for reelection. We somehow need to impress upon our Congress men and women that their job is to represent the people’s wishes and not to enrich themselves with power and money at our expense. Things like a raise every year and ultra-good healthcare insurance and lush travel expenses are examples of how they rise above the plights that many of us are faced with.
We somehow need to impose term limits on these positions. We can’t have them serving for 15, 20 and 25 years.
I don’t know how to get that accomplished but to start with I know what I am going to do. I will vote against all incumbents, whoever they are.
What are you going to do? Let me know.

I'm with you brother. I will not vote for ANY incumbent from ANY party. They aren't listening to anyone but the special interests. And, the latest insult to America is to put a tax on "cadillac" health care plans unless you are in a collective bargaining unit. Just unbelievable. Discrimination. Do they really think we will let them all continue?.... Not if me and my friends can help it!
