The Voiceless Majority: The Middle Class

August 30, 2010 – 11:49 am

The vast percentage of tax money used to run our government comes from middle class workers. Only 5 percent of taxes comes from those making over $250 thousand. And yet the middle class voice is ignored by the political elite. It’s as if we have been reduced to the status of “slaves” working for the Massa.

The middle class tax dollars are put into this diminishing tax pot and distributed to those who refuse to work and those who have created a culture of living on government “assistance” that perpetuates over generations. Those who have chosen to drop out of school. Those who create a house full of children they know will enhance their government income. The couples with children who refuse to get married because that would cut off the government money spigot. Those people who have read the thousand page book of “government handouts”, “entitlements’ and “benefits” and can recite it word for word. They all get their money from the sweat of middle class workers.

If the middle class begins to complain too loudly, they are labeled as “racists” or “profilers” and put to shame for not wanting to help the “disadvantaged”.

Congress operates by majority rule when passing laws. But in the public sector, majority rule is a forgotten concept and plays no part in political decisions. The majority was against ObamaCare. It passed. The majority is against Cap and Trade. It passed the House. The majority is against open borders and amnesty. We are ignored. The majority is against Obama’s policies. He ignores them as he “spreads the wealth”. Congress has a 19 percent approval rating. The majority thinks they’re doing a rotten job, yet they’re still there.

The majority has failed to get involved. They have become so wrapped up in their own every day struggles with job and family that they have become somewhat apathetic. On the other hand, those on government assistance organize aggressively. Think ACORN. They make certain that their voice is heard and their vote is counted to keep the free money flowing in.

If this scenario continues its course, very soon those on government handouts will become the “majority”. That will be the beginning of the end of America as we knew it. So make your voice heard. Yell if you have to. Get involved with community gatherings. And for America’s sake VOTE and take your neighbors and friends with you. November may be the last chance we have!

Federal Laws do Not Apply to Illegal Aliens! Why!

August 28, 2010 – 6:22 pm

The wonderful analogy below, was written by a brave lady, Arizona’s Governor Jan Brewer. She illustrates the hypocrisy of laws being enforced on some lawbreakers while, for purely political reasons, the same laws are not enforced on other lawbreakers.

The owner of the Phoenix Suns basketball team, Robert Saver, opposes AZ’s new immigration laws. Arizona’s Governor, Jan Brewer, released the following statement in response Saver’s criticism of the new law:

“What if the owners of the Suns discovered that hordes of people were sneaking into the games without paying? What if they had a good idea of who the gate-crashers are, but the ushers and the security personnel were not allowed to ask these folks to produce their ticket stubs, thus non-paying attendees could not be ejected?

Furthermore, what if the Suns ownership was expected to provide those who sneaked in with complimentary eats and drink? And what if, on those days when a gate-crasher became ill or injured, the Suns had to provide free medical care and shelter?”

Laws are made to be enforced. If one law can be broken with no consequences, then, to be fair, all laws become unenforceable. If you run a red light, cheat on your taxes or rob a bank and get arrested, just ask the judge why illegal immigrants can break the law with no punishment and you can’t. America is the land of the free, but there should be no freedom for those who brazenly and continually break the laws of America.

Shame on you Obama and shame on you Congress. Grow some! Seal our borders and arrest the illegals who are flooding our country with drugs and sucking our treasury dry.

Letter to the Green People!

August 23, 2010 – 9:28 pm

To My Dear Green People,

God created man and gave him dominion over the earth and all it’s creatures. Now you want to reverse His plan and give earth and it’s creatures dominion over man. The world had gone through many periods long before man came on the scene and the Earth will continue long after we leave.

Is it worth drying up thousands of acres of farm land in California and putting hundreds of farming families in poverty by closing off the water source to their crops to “save” a species of little fish? Is it worth stopping the building of a much needed dam to “protect” another rare species of fish? Is the Spotted Owl that important, could the world exist without them? It’s a shame that you “Green People” weren’t there to “save” the dinosaurs and the mastodons. 

I know your master plan and I know why you’re doing this, it’s all about control as evidenced by your web site: http://www.icleiusa.org/!

Global warming? Earth is 70 percent water which gives off oxygen. Another 10 percent is of mountains and deserts which are uninhabitable to man. Trees and plant life are abundant and take up much of the planet. Plant life needs carbon dioxide to produce the oxygen which keeps us alive. Another percent of earth is inhabited by third world countries which give off very little or no so-called “carbon pollution”. Man lives on 18 percent of earth at the most and we’re doing just fine.

How arrogant to believe we could change this mighty Earth by using different light bulbs and building windmills. And how long do you think it would take to convince China (the most industrilized nation and the world’s worst “polluter” by your standards) to comply with your contrived agenda? Like NEVER dude!

There is only three ways to “save this planet”. Vote out all the corrupt “leaders” who want to use “Global Warming” to control the world, pass out condoms world wide to keep idiots from being born and find decent productive jobs for the “green people”.

Dr Garrett

PS: Say goodby to WalMart, sell your car, leave your air conditioned house, buy a tent, live in the woods, use the stars for your lights and leaves for your clothing, drink from and bathe in a stream, instead of fish or fowl, eat nuts and berries and then I’ll believe you’re truly serious about your fight to “save” the planet! Wanna “Talk the talk? Then Walk the walk!”

A Letter to Congress. Shame on you!

August 15, 2010 – 2:58 pm

This letter is not intended for the tiny minority of congress who try to do the right thing nor for any particular party. This letter is for the arrogant, self indulging, self serving elitists who dress up in their Brooks Brother’s suits and have $100 hair cuts. And those who consider themselves exempt from the laws they pass to impose hardships on the people they are sworn to serve. Shame on you!

We  noticed that you voted yourselves a “cost of living” raise this year, $4,000 for the House and $5,300 for the Senate. What world do you live in that can rationalize a raise, paid for with our tax money, when polls show that Congressional job approval is at an appalling 19 percent? If we were to do such a terrible job and asked our boss for a raise, we would be fired as you should be. Shame on you!

Not only did you give yourselves a raise, but you voted NOT to give Social Security recipients their annual raise for the next two years! You also voted to raise our Medicare premiums $285.60 for these two years. Social Security will have a total 2 year loss of $1,600 each or $3200 for husband and wife. You also voted to TAX our Social Security income that we pay into for most of our lives. Do you even give a damn? I think not. Shame on you!

You have become so passionately involved in your ideological pissing contest that you have miserably failed to do the people’s work and have let America morph into a debtor state that has no chance of recovering while you are still in office. Hey, if things go bad, just blame the other party. It is never your fault! Shame on you!

You have grossly and constantly ignored the will of the majority of Americans and have chosen to sing the song, “I did it my way”. Americans want the borders secure. You ignore us. Americans didn’t want the Heath Care Law. You ignored us. Not only did you ignore us but you exempted yourselves from the same HC law. Is it because you consider yourselves “SPECIAL”? Do you think you are better than us? Shame on you!!

In order to accumulate the enormous amounts of money it takes to get elected and re-elected, you sell your souls to lobbyists who represent special interests which amounts to a bribe. Your allegiance is to them, not to the American people who believed your lies and voted for you. Shame on you! 

Hey, maybe you’re just a whining coward who hasn’t the balls to go against the “leaders” for fear they won’t help you get re-elected, or you won’t get that coveted committee appointment, if you don’t do exactly as they say. Well grow some! Shame on you!

You come back to your district and brag about how capable you are because you were able to secure money for the district. This tax money came from the states, went to Washington, then, after funneling through a giant maze of Federal bureaucracy, we only get pennies on the dollar back to the state. Did that ever cross your mind? And what backroom deal was made that enabled you to get these pennies? Did you vote for a $300 billion administration bill to get a paltry $10 million “earmark” for your district? Shame on you!

Public service in Congress was never designed by our Founding Fathers to become your career with lifelong benefits, such as an automatic retirement plan after one term in office. We can’t retire after a few years of work, why should you? And explain to us why you think you deserve this and free health care and exemption from Social Security. Oh! I forgot, you’re “SPECIAL”! Shame on you!

Congress controls the laws and decisions made for America. You and you alone are responsibility for the mess we’re in. We need a new congress and we vow not to let you be a part of it. Goodby and Shame on you!

“Government isn’t the solution to the problem, government IS the problem.” Ronald Reagan. Please send this letter to your Senator and Representative. Let them know America is fed up with them. Shame on them!

Letter by a Florida Teacher– A Teacher Speaks Out

August 12, 2010 – 1:04 pm

This is a subject close to my heart. Do you know that we have adult students at the school where I teach who are NOT U.S. citizens and who get the PELL Grant, which is a federal grant (no payback required) plus other federal grants to go to school?

One student from the Dominican Republic told me that she didn’t want me to find a job for her after she finished my program, because she was getting housing from our housing department and she was getting a PELL Grant which paid for her total tuition and books, plus money leftover. She was looking into WAIT which gives students a CREDIT CARD for gas to come to school, and into CARIBE which is a special program (check it out -I did) for immigrants and it pays for child care and all sorts of needs while they go to school or training.

The one student I just mentioned told me she was not going to be a U.S. Citizen because she plans to return to the Dominican Republic someday and that she ‘loves HER country.’ I asked her if she felt guilty taking what the U.S. is giving her and then not even bothering to become a citizen and she told me that it doesn’t bother her, because that is what the money is there for!

I asked the CARIBE administration about their program and if you ARE a U.S. citizen, you don’t qualify for their program. And all the while, I am working a full day, my son-in-law works more than 60 hours a week, and everyone in my family works and pays for our education.

Something is wrong here. I am sorry, but after hearing that they want to sing the National Anthem in Spanish - enough is enough. That’s a real slap in the face. Nowhere did they sing it in Italian, Polish, Irish (Celtic), German or any other language because of immigration. It was written by Francis Scott Key and should be sung word for word the way it was written. The news broadcasts even gave the translation — not even close.

I don’t care whether this offends someone or not but this is MY COUNTRY. IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY SPEAK UP — please pass this along. I am not against immigration — I just expect immigrants to come through like everyone else. Get a sponsor; have a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live by the rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants have in the past.
