"NO COMPASS GOVERNMENT" Rant For 5-17-11

I have figured out the difference between the extreme right and the extreme left. It's the direction their heads lean from the weight of their half-brains!

Do you really believe the spin these talking "garbage cans" are spewing? Consider these points!
1. Tax Breaks For The Wealthy, have been touted to stimulate the economy since the Regan years. In reality we've never seen it create jobs, and at this time we continue to lose jobs overseas. So it's BS! The only trickle down effect we in the middle receive is a trickle on our heads!
2. Subsidies For Big Oil, continue to perplex me. How can you justify subsidies to companies that will rack up 200 Billion in profits in 2011? But yet the scare tactics of higher oil prices are being used. Have you noticed that gas prices go up on the mere mention of higher oil prices, but they don't come down when lower prices are projected? Think about it.
3. Social Security was a completely solvent program before these sticky fingered jackals decided to raid it. By the way it is not an "entitlement" program as some would have you believe. We working people pay into it. If all the politician's had to use the same benefit package we do, thing would change.
4. Healthcare Reform was a completely reasonable topic of discussion before the "toxic" spin was put to it. Let me ask, do you really believe that when an insurance company denies a claim for life saving treatment because it's too costly, that it's not a form of a "death panel"? How about prescription drugs? Do you really buy that Canada's less expensive drugs are lower quality than ours? they are the same drugs, ours are expensive because we don't have the cost controls that other countries have. It's all about profit!

Let's move to the state side. It takes a special group of "hemp smokers" to push some of the ridiculous measures in our "fee" state. let's just mention a couple.
1. In State Tuition For "Illegal" Immigrants. Yes "illegals", not the softer term "undocumented immigrant". I was asked this past week by one of my employees, who is a Jamaican National and just a few weeks from his final citizenship test, after 5 YEARS! He wanted to know why it took him so long to get the benefits of this country when people just walking across the border are getting them? How embarrassing to be asked this question.
2. More Proposals To Raise The Gas Tax and Tolls! I don't know how many remember the last gas price crunch, but the state raised tolls then, because they lost revenue when we reduced our driving. But here is the point! The transportation revenue for our state, is similar to the social security account. The account had enough cash, and revenue sources to carry itself through lean times, but as always politicians can't keep their hands out of the cookie jar. We are now being asked to pay more so these fiscally irresponsible stooges can double-dip.

If we continue to let these irresponsible, sticky-fingered abusers of the public trust serve their own interests instead of ours, we deserve what we get. Please educate yourselves before the next elections, local or national. Vote from a position of knowledge, not just because you like someone!

I hate Ranting about politics!

I'm Done!
