I have been thinking about what I would write next. As I have pondered the recent problems with the economy, it occurred to me that these issues were not present until Democrats took over both houses of congress 2 years ago. Why has the media not mentioned this?
Fact: Because of the Bush tax cuts our economy has been soaring for almost 6 years without much of a blip.
Fact: 2006 elections put Democrats in the majority in both houses of congress and things started to come apart.
Fact: Gas prices are going though the roof. Everyday at the pump, prices are higher than the day before. It's almost reminiscent of the Jimmy Carter years when going to the grocery store meant so many stickers on a can of soup because the prices were changing hourly!
Fact: Of all the candidates, only Obama favors NOT giving the citizens a break from the federal gas tax. In California, the state tax is about 3 times that of the federal tax, and the state is STILL out of money!
Fact: Because scientists predict that global temperatures are going to stay relatively low for the next 15 years, they are saying that global warming is taking a vacation whereupon, when the 15 years are up, it's going to ramp up again. Can you believe it? These people who are so worried about the rise in CO2 are the same ones who made us all get catalytic converters for our cars to turn carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide are now complaining... because it worked? These are the same 15 nut jobs who are sitting in a room with the 5 PETA people and a fax machine, churning out our environmental policies!!! And they say Bush and his cronies are running the world. HARDLY!
Chuck Schumer is a moron. He recently discounted the gas tax haitus saying it wouldn't do enough and would put our streets, roads and infrastructure in jeopardy. Chucky should come to San Francisco where the streets are so full of pot holes, they are in jeopardy NOW! But where does the money go? To the city council who seems to think it is more important to promote gay marriages and oppose the war in Iraq instead of fixing the potholes. So lower gas prices are not going to hurt anything. These things are already in jeopardy!
My point is this. Democrats are always promising to make things better if we just give them more of our money in taxes. Bull!!! They are taking over 50% of our payhecks with all the payroll taxes plus taxes on our phone, gas and electric, cable... and now they want to tax services (in California). Enough is enough. It's time for the TEA PARTY!
