Use of GasolineTaxes

Leave a reply

Rick Snyder….you want to raise the gasoline tax in Michigan?  I suggest that you take a long, long, long hard look at where this will take you.  Use your business sense!  You would never “Rob Peter to Pay Paul”, would you?

Let us use the average “normal” of the sale of 400,000,000 gallons of gasoline a month.  Now, it has been two years since this State has been devoid of the “Socialist Moron” that the unions so happily voted in twice.  With that being said, I will not hold you accountable for the monetary mismanagement that transpired on her ineffective leadership.  However, I am now expecting you to do the right thing.

Since 1978, 90% of all ”gasoline” taxes were to go to the roads and infrastructure in the State of Michigan.  It was passed into law!  It has not been recinded!  This law did not say, ”Oh, let us use it for mass transportation in Macomb, Wayne or Genese Counties”.  90% is to go to roads!

So let us both do some simple math:

400,000,000×12= 4,800,000,000 (that is Gallons of Gasoline per year) oh, by the way, we are not counting diesel fuels sold.

4,800,000,000 gallons x $.19 per gallon tax (Michigan only)= $912,000,000.00 per year

2 years as Governor = $1,824,000,000.00 for roads, bridges and infrastructure in the State of Michigan.  This does not include any of the monies that are usurped from the truckers in this State.

Okay, so you are at loggerheads!  What do I do? You take the Federal Monies, (for Federal Highways) and you use that to fix them, and only them!  You remove the Davis Bacon/Prevailing Wage Requirements on State, County and Local roads, avenues, courts, boulevards, streets, cul de sacs, drives etc, etc., etc.

Rick, I have been in the Construction Business for 33 years.  I can build, fix, repair more roads and bridges for $3,648,000,000.00 for any politician’s political term, under those conditions, than you can raising the taxes on hard working Michiganders!!!

Principles vs Winning

Leave a reply

So, did you see the tall blonde bimbette during the course of the last week?  Ann Coulter!  One day she is talking about Rubio, Paul and God only knows who else giving up on the “Republican” principles and the next day or so she is on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox telling Sean that ‘Principles are fine, but, you need to win’

Sean, I realize that you are the “opinion” portion of Fox News, but, you have this ditz on many more times and I will start to refer to you as Faux News.  Granted, she obtained her law degree from one of my favorite universities in the Country, but this woman has become dumber than a “box of rocks”

You call yourself a “Conservative” then act like it when you have your intellect and principles challenged by someone that appears to be losing both!

Fair Share GOP vs Bovine Feces

Leave a reply

The last I checked, and I do it quite frequently, there is not one person that is a greater recipient of Government goodies when they pay more in taxes.  It seems to me that the family of 4 that makes $200,000.00 pays more in taxes than the family of 4 that makes $50,000.00 pays in taxes.

Since the family of 4 pays a higher percentage of their income, and their income is higher, should they not get “their fair share” from the government?  Both families drive the same roads.  Both families use the same hospitals.  Both families pay the same amount of taxes on the groceries that they buy.  Why would you not expect the one that pays more into the “Great and Powerful Government” get more from the “Great and Powerful Government”?

Somehow, it never seems to work that way!  The more you work, the more you pay, the less the “Great and Powerful Government” gives you back.  Seems kinda bass ackwards if you were to ask me.

Black, white, yellow, brown or red…you can malign him all you want for…oh I don’t know, maybe cheating on his wife, being a Baptist Deacon, being a member of the Tea Party, fixing the worst division of Burger King, Bringing Godfather Pizza back from the depths of despair or the worst possible thing to call a “Strong Black Man in America” a Republican!  You know who I am talking about.  You know his name.  Mr. 999!  Mr. everybody needs skin in the game.  When Herman Cain through his hat in the ring I was for this man.  The same as when Alan Keyes ran for the same office.  Just as I believe that Dr. Carson would make a good candidate.  But, to paraphrase Alan West, the liberals hate a strong, black, colorblind, conservative Republican.

I lived in New York when Tawana Brawley started her great lie and The ‘reverend’ (on purpose) al sharpton, C. Vernon Mason and Mr. Mattox all stormed to her side.  Not because she was telling the truth but because they could make money in creating another divide between the races.  This is the practice of liberals, bar color.  This is a practice that most Conservatives do not engage in.  The difference is most people do not know or understand what Winston Churchill meant when he said “a lie will get half way around the world before the truth even has a chance to get it’s pants on”

So the next time you hear a ‘Conservative Black Man or Woman” speak, close your eyes and open your brain and listen to them.  You may find that they are the ones telling you the truth, like it or not, and they are not the uncle toms of the world.  They are not sellouts.  They are not the enemy.  They are giving you a perspective that existed when they were young, when both parents were in the house, when (forget the color barrier for one moment) we excelled as a Nation.

Let us, as a Nation, get back soon, before we parish.

 

Big Government vs Big (Any)Business

So I spend much of my time listening to people make bold statements about this, that and every other thing.  Now, I know that much of this is bluster.  Liberals say that the rich need to pay their fair share and the “fat cats” say that they pay too much.  The Republicans in, and out, of office say that government is too big.  The Democrats say it is too small.

I listened to Mr. David Siegal tell his employees that they need to vote for Romney or they would face layoffs.  I heard the Koch Brothers say pretty much the same thing.  I have to tell you, I DESPISE blowhards!  I listened to Barack Obama tell everyone that those “fatcats” need to pay more.  He and the government would make things right.  I must be honest, Liberalism DISGUSTS me!

I know the best way to decide who is right and who is wrong.  If every conservative businessman and businesswoman would just shut down their companies/plants/refineries/stores/donations/etc. and let every employee go, we would see who has the power.

It took the takers (England) 8+ years to be defeated the first time around.  Since they thought we let down our guard, they tried again 29 years later.  Let this be a precursor to all of you…never let down your guard!  This time the takers are much closer.  They are your neighbors, customers, purported friends.  They are not the later and if they had their way they would not be either of the former.  They wish harm come to you.  They wish you had naught for your labors.   They actually despise you for what you have accomplished.  If the “Top 10% pay 60%, 70% or more why is it they they do not get 60-70% of the representation?  It is time to make a stand!

I can pretty much guarantee that the Federal Government will change their minds as to where they get money and where they can spend money.  This is not a guess.  This is not a hope and a prayer.  I know that the appearance of being sated, i.e., kwashiorkor, does not mean that one is sated.  All it means is that one is sick.  It is a physical ailment that can be cured.

There is only one way to cure this bureaucratic beast that exists in DC.  It needs to be starved.  The politicians need to be starved.  The programs need to be starved and the “public servants” need to be starved.  Just remember, it took more than a couple of weeks for William Bradford to change the way things were done at Plymouth Rock (Thanksgiving is the only Holiday that I am aware of that celebrates Capitalism).

The liberals in this country seem to push the idea of cutting fat out of our diets to become more healthy, yet, they refuse to ‘eat’ their own words.  We need to trim the ‘fat’ from government.  We need to have them take in less ‘calories’.  We need them to get in ‘shape’.

Too many times we have been told that we need to cut (military, education, entitlements….blah, blah, blah) however, we DO NOT cut.  We spend and spend for naught.  Take the ‘food’  they will have to stop eating.

When the citizens learn, and they will learn quickly, that it is not the government that keeps this nation strong, it is not the government that repairs the roads, it is not the government that feeds the people, it is not the government that shelters them  It is the citizens that provide all means for the government to assit in these measures.  It is time that the government begin to heed the governed.

In 1982, 31 years ago, the Democrats offered Ronald Reagan $3 in spending cuts for $1 in tax increases, a balanced approach.  We got taxed. They spent more.  We have listened to Barack Obama tell a moderator that even though tax increases would hurt the economy, he would raise them to be fair.  In 31 years we have not seen a true spending cut and we have seen more and more taxes.

We get taxed, he gets rich and we get poor.

The only blacks that have actually seen a significant change in their wealth since 2008 are Barack and Michelle Obama.  The Black Unemployment level has risen by 7 percentage points under Obama.  Okay, you say 7 points, that is not bad in this economy.  Look at it another way.  9% in 2008.  16% in 2013.  In all actuallity, Obama has raised the unemployment rate of African Americans by 77.7%.  Now, if he were a “White Liberal” The NAACP would be all over him.  If he were a Republican the NAACP and EVERY news outlet would be condemning him.  But he is ‘Obama’ the great mulatto and savior of Liberalism!  So, the very persons that are supposed to stick up for the downtrodden are now aiding the one that is doing the stomping.

If Barack Obama were a Republican you would be reading headlines like ‘Obama “Shackles Blacks”‘ or ‘President ignores plight of Inner Cities’.  Not now.  Not with this news media.

18 months ago Barack Obama and his minions came up with the idea of sequestration.  They proposed this so that Congress (Not the President) would have to make tough decisions.  Well they didn’t, nor did Obama, so now we get “forced cuts”.  We need them for government is too large, too cumbersome, too intrusive and actually strangles the ‘life’ from our economy.  Now, Obama says this will cost jobs!  Why the hell did he propose it to begin with?

Forty days ago Barack Obama got a wish.  Taxes were raised on the 1%ers.  Yeah, unemployment went up…so what…imagine that.

I truly hate to see what will happen when Obamacare is fully implemented.  When unemployment shoots through the roof will that, again, be George Bush’s (43) fault?  At what time and what place will the 4th estate hold this ‘poser’ accountable?  At what point will Obama take responsibility for anything?

So, under Obama, we are getting weaker militarily, poorer as individuals, slower educationally, weaker physically and deeper in debt, every day,  for nothing positive in return.

The people of this nation need to take a decision.  They need to educate themselves.  They need to break the educational shackles that are placing all of us in bondage.  Read what the founding fathers gave up in order to stand by their word in signing the Declaration of Independence.  Take a look at a JFK speech and see just how far left the Democratic party has moved.  Read a Calvin Coolidge speech and see how far the Republicans have moved…and not to the right.  Inform yourself.  it is now time for everyone to become educated and take a stand.

The Integrity Joke!

“Little by little the look of the country changes because of the men we admire…You’re just going to have to make up your own mind one day  about what’s right and wrong.”  Melvyn Douglas as Homer Bannon  HUD, a movie that I wish everyone would watch, though today, most cannot stand black and white.  If you never watch the film youshould at least LEARN the quote for it is poignant, significant and as true in 1963 as it is 50 years later.

It’s funny how I look upon the make up of the pundit and politicians of this country.  Although I am an extremely conservative individual I am fair when I see the B.S. that we, as a nation are shoved, the many different styles of crap.

I am going to start with Juan Williams although he is not in any shape the most or least fractous of those that follow.  My second blog talked about the racists joke and Juan has been very apt at displaying his lack of honesty on the subject.  Today, however, I watched him ‘supposedly’ listen to Bob Woodward regarding whose idea sequestration was.  Woodward stated, unequivocally, that it was the White House and Barack Obama that started the idea of sequestration.  Not two minutes later when Karl Rove states that the idea was started by Barack Obama, Juan gives his double take/deer in the headlights look…what bovine feces…a liberal/moderate says it and Juan gives his, you’ve seen it before, I guess that is true so I’ll shrug my shoulders and let it pass with a turn of my head-look.  Now when a conservative says it look out…I cannot believe that you could ever say anything against this “Black” man (he is a mulatto not black) you are white, you are conservative and how could you possibly lie like that-look.  All of this happens in the span of 120 seconds +/- time.  What a hypocrit!  What a Joke!

How many times can a man or woman call something immoral and then do exactly what they say is immoral and be called a moral individual?  Let’s take Eric Cantor, nice guy (I guess), yet I, personally, would not trust him with anything.  ‘To raise the debt ceiling and burden our children with such debt is immoral’. Eric Cantor, John Boehner, Kevin McCarthy ad nauseum.  Time and time again they vote to raise it.  Are they still not burdening the future children with MORE DEBT?  What is moral in that?  Are they not the ones that said it is immoral?

Okay, debt!  So Senator Obama, while running for the office of President of the United States says that President Bush (43) is unpatriotic for adding $4 trillion to the National debt in 8 years!  So does adding $6 trillion in four years mean you are committing treason?

Any and All pundits/politicians that questioned Dr. Ben Carson invoking the name of God at a PRAYER breakfast need to have their heads, hearts, morals, scrupples and souls examined!!!  Last time I checked GOD is why we PRAY.

Ann Coulter.   Ann is to Chris Christie as Chris Mathews is to Barack Obama.  Stating on Hannity that Mitt Romney is the most conservative candidate running for the GOP should have been reason for any and all of her dear and loving friends to have her commited.  Her plea for Christie to run was admirable, yet, his conservative “principles” came out with Sandy just before the election.  The man that spoke about being fiscally sound wanted the rest of the country to bail him out.  At one time I believed that Ms. Coulter was principled in her stances, however, now I find her to create controversy for the sake of money.  At 6′-0″ +/-, being fairly attractive and with legs that many would like to blister their tongue on, Ms. Coulter has some positive physical attributes…but…politically she should take her own advice…women should not vote.

Steny Hoyer.  How DUMB can anyone be that voted for this imbecile.  The White House admits (two weeks ago) that the sequestration came from them so on Friday Steny Hoyer is tried to blame Repulbicans (Juan Williams needs to pay more attention to those he tries to cover for).  I do not know how we became so ignorant as a nation, or when our political figures became so arrogant, but we have and they have.

Harry Reid.  My favorite Washington DC miscreant.  I have been writing to Harry telling him just how combative he is.  When I lived in Nevada I did all I could do to convince people to vote AGAINST him.  He is lazy, vile and corrupt (in my opinion).  He is the very worst of society anjd Nevadans owe their country a true justice  by recalling this JERK.  Anyone that does not do their job for three plus years needs to be fired.

Every reporter, journalist, pundit, politician, citizen that refers to a past president, senator, congressman/woman secretary or ambassador by the title that they ONCE HAD.  They are no longer anything!  They are citizens!  We have One (1) President.  We have one (1) Vice President.  We have 100 Senators…get the picture?

Mark Levine.  Get off Karl Rove’s back.  Sharon Angle?  I could have run a dead dog against Harry Reid and beat him.  Christine O’Donnell?  Look at the moron that is in there now.  What did that get you?  Todd Akin?  If you truly beieve that he is the best that we could have put up there than the GOP is in more trouble than I expect.  We, as a nation, deserve, nay need, good, solid, quality candidates.  We need candidates that believe in this country, not an election.  No more MORONS or we all lose!

 

 

The racist joke

I have listened to the likes of Juan Williams, The Congressional Black Caucus and the Liberal “Republican” Colin Powell talk about the “racism” in the Republican Party.  I have not, once, heard any right wing, conservative, purportedly honest talk show/commentator give the truth on the subject.  So here are the facts based upon the compilation of information gleaned from the past 36 years.

  1. There have been 10 elections
  2. In all but two, there were only two major candidates
  3. In the two elections with multiple candidates the Democrats received the same 83% of the Black vote.
  4. The last time the Black unemployment rate was as high as today there was an 8 % point swing towards the Democrats (Ronald Reagan (R) was in office)
  5. The average caucasian population that has voted Democratic over the past 10 elections is 40.4%
  6. The average caucasian population that has voted Democratic (minus the two elections with Barack Obama) is 40.5%
  7. The last two elections with Obama is 40% ( 43% for 2008 and 37% for 2012)
  8. The average black population that has voted Republican over the past 10 elections is 10.1%
  9. The average black population that has voted Republican (minus the two elections with Barack Obama) is 11.6%
  10. The last two elections with Obama is 4% ( 4% for 2008 and 4% for 2012)
  11. Unemployment is as high/higher than 1984 when the major shift from Ronald Reagan happened.
  12. In 2008 Barack Obama received a higher percentage of caucasian votes than Jimmy Carter 1980, Walter Mondale 1984, Michael Dukakis 1988, Bill Clinton 1992, Al Gore 2000 and John Kerry 2004.
  13. The numbers show that whites voted for a “black” (mulatto) man for change, party affiliation, to cut the deficit, to creat a “love fest” in Washington D.C. Whatever the reason they gave him a chance, rightfully so, but he has been a disaster to the economy and the caucasians voted their minds.  The black voters voted the same as before.  Give him a chance!

I can remember when Harold Washington ran for Mayor in Chicago.  The Reverend (of what I do not know) Jessie Jackson said do not make this mayoral election about race, 99% of all blacks that voted, voted for Harold Washington.  Is that not about race?

I can only presume from the FACTS, that are verified by numbers, that the caucasians that the media elite, Juan Williams, Colin Powell, The Congressional Black Caucus, Barack Obama and the rest of the liars out there are calling bigots and racists are truly not the racists that they are portrayed to be.  In fact, when the swing from prior elections is taken into account 66% of black voters that would have voted Republican changed their vote because of the candidates color and not the political party affiliation.  That is the TRUE definition of RACIST!

From the first time that a “world” ranking was introduced describing where each country stood in education, the United States of America was 1st.  Then in November of 1979 something changed, President Jimmy Carter appoints Shirley Hufstedler, an attorney to boot, as the 1st Secretary of education.

Then President Ronald Reagan appointed Mr. Terrel Bell as his Secretary of Education…his job was to dismantle the Department of Education, thus leaving him out of a job.  But, like every “good” politician Mr. Bell convinced President Reagan to let him “commission” a study of America’s educational system.  Mind you, we are ranked #1 at the time of “A Nation at Risk” being released.  Mr. Bell keeps his job until 1985…lucky America!

Including the appointment of Ms. Hufstedler, we are currently on our 9th Secretary of Education.  We currently rank between 19th and 22nd in the world in education, and, we have spent $1.308 trillion, through fiscal year 2012,  to get here.  I do not know about most of you but I believe that that is a total waste of money.

We were #1 before Washington D.C. got involved and now, 33 years, 6 Presidents, 9 Secretarys of Education and $1,308,000,000,000.00 we rank 20th.  What moronically inclined ignoramus thought that this was a good investment let alone good idea.

If it were the Eagles or the Phillies and they had won 10 consecutive titles without a GM, and using different players and coaches (State Education Depts., teachers and students), and one fine day the “owners” decide to give their friend a job as GM sports fans would start to wonder…what the hell.

Then if both teams started to lose a little more often than they did without the GM and the owner just paid the GM more money…that should fix it…everyone, with any common sense, would call the owners of those teams idiots.  Yet here we are, being led by idiots, into the depths of the abyss.

Davis Guggenheim has directed many films, two films in particular, the Barack Obama commercial, where he was lauded for showing Barack in a way that everyone could see his “greatness”, the other “Waiting for Superman” where, as a liberal, he produced a documentary that showed the problem with the educational system is the 1. Unions and 2. Government…how dare he, what was he thinking?, and why did that man of “greatness” not see the folly of the Department of Education and the Teachers Unions?

We have all been sold a bill of goods.  You want to help the children of this country?  Do you want to better the educational system?  Do you want to help save the Country’s finances?  Do you Want to be #1 again?  Fire the Secretary of Education, get the Unions out of the Schools, get the bureaucrats out of the classrooms and let the teachers and parents teach the children of this country.
