BIGUN 1,490 #1 March 18, 2009 Interesting concept that just might gather some momentum. http://taxdayteaparty.com/Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBachelor 5 #2 March 18, 2009 I can't see that those events will generate much interest. The majority of the voters wanted to put in a man, and a party who are determined to make a huge government funded by big tax increases. In an interview with CNN's John Roberts, (and this is a quote), "He told Roberts high taxes were in the best interest of the American economy." My wonderful state of California feels the same way. They've elected a legislature of around 60% Democrats who, along with a couple of Republicans and a so-called Republican governor recently passed about 13 billion dollars in new taxes (can you say 10% sales tax?). These, along with spending cuts, and budget sleight-of-hand were to eliminate the $42 billion deficit. Less than a month after that budget was passed, the budget analysts have already said that they were already $8 billion short. Why is there such a deficit? Because in the 4 years since Schwarzenegger was elected, overall spending has soared 40% in the state. [/rant/There are battered women? I've been eating 'em plain all of these years...

BIGUN 1,490 #3 March 19, 2009 Ya know... I'm beginning to think that anyone who runs for office should demonstrate the ability to do a Zero-Based Budget. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who here has increased their spending by 40% in the past 4 years?"That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
