Tax and Spend

Not satisfied with his first act of preemptive surrender, Boehner puckers up further and offers $800 billion in tax increases to Pharaoh Obama. This is what Republicans always do. They pretend to be against tax increased, but all the time the wink, wink, nod, nod to their Democrat partners to let them know they really support tax increases. Needless to say, Great Pharaoh will reject these increases at not enough. Boehner realizes that all spending bills must be initiated in the House, so he is in control. Obama can't spend a dime without Boehner's approval, so Boehner is the one screwing us. He's unhappy his base won't let him give Obama even more of our money. This is like having Hitler working with Stalin to advance the interests of both. That's probably underestimating how screwed we are. What this tells us is the special interests, because all of them want more of our money, have sided far more strongly with Obama than with those who want to limit, let alone shrink government. And only a fool would have predicted otherwise.

I fully expect Boehner and a significant portion of Republicans to join Democrats in increasing the loot they steal from Americans, and I fully expect a bloodbath of Republicans in 2014 as a result. The best we can hope for is that Boehner loses his job, hard and painfully, and has to spend the rest of his life hiding under a rock and begging for food.

Pundit warns that conservatives will stop funding Republicans if they agree to tax hikes. As much as I wish this was true, I don't believe it. When have conservatives ever walked away from big government Republicans? From his pen to voter's ears, but I'm not holding my breath. You can bet that the accomplice press of both medias will declare that 2016 is the most important election in our lives and that there's a huge difference between the two parties even though neither will be true.

That said, I will admit that at some point, voters will rebel, and the sooner, the better. We will see tax rebellions. We will see voter rebellions. I used to think we would see them every election, and God knows we should have seen them decades ago, but we never did. So we will see them, but I'm not holding my breath we'll see them next election.

Ron Paul backs me up on my contention that the talks about the misnamed fiscal cliff are phony and the deal is already done.

"As the year draws to an end, America faces yet another Congressionally-manufactured crisis which will likely end in yet another 11th hour compromise, resulting in more government growth touted as “saving” the economy."

Government creates artificial crises, then it uses them to steal from us.

Britain punishes major bread winners in a single income family with a 73 percent tax, but provides welfare to single mothers, and they wonder why they have so many single mothers. Apparently they aren't smart enough to figure out for themselves or read that if you tax something, you get less of it, and if you subsidize something, you get more of it.

Gary North blasts NASA propaganda. Imagine how much good Americans could have done with the money NASA stole to send probes to Mars.
