Abraham Lincoln’s 10 You Cannots

“You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.”
“You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.”
“You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.”
“You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.”
“You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.”
“You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.”
“You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.”
“You cannot establish security on borrowed money.”
“You cannot build character and courage by taking away men’s initiative and independence.”
“You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.”

Do you want tax increases? Support the health care bill!

I think Democrats are willing to pay higher taxes. The thing is normal Americans with brains don’t want to pay higher taxes that will be used to fund a golf course in a town with more cows than people (I’m not making this up, that was something the Democrats funded in order to “stimulate” the economy. So far, it’s worked great!)

Some Americans (41% of American voters according to Rasmussen), support this bill (and only 26% Strongly Favor). Those Americans are supporting a government takeover of 1/6 of our economy, a government takeover of the student loan market, cuts in Medicare, special deals (if I listed them all this post would never end), and tax increases.

We all know the economy is hurting. Many Americans are unemployed and there’s nothing that would hurt them than a tax increase. Yet, Obama and Company are telling them: Washington knows best.

The following is a list of tax increases in H.R. 4872….

[Source:Gop.gov]

Decrease in high-cost plans excise tax: The bill would delay the effective date of the high-cost plans tax from 2013 to 2018, raise the thresholds for what qualifies as a high-cost plan to $10,200 for singles and $27,500 for families.  The bill would include a carve-out for multiemployer plans that generally cover unionized firms that allows single employees to qualify for higher the family threshold.

New Medicare HI tax on investment income: The bill would impose a 3.8 percent tax, transferred to the Medicare Trust Fund, on investment income for singles earning over $200,000 and families earning over $250,000.  The bill would exempt active income from certain business ownership stakes and expenses and distributions from retirement plans.  These thresholds are not indexed for inflation, so an ever increasing number of Americans would become subject to these investment and wage taxes over time.

Flexible Spending Accounts: The bill would delay the effective date of the $2,500 cap on flexible spending accounts from 2011 to 2013.

Increased Tax on Pharmaceutical Industry: The bill would delay the effective date of the pharmaceutical tax one year to 2011, increases the annual fee within the budget window to $4.2 billion in 2018, and increases the per-year fee in perpetuity to $2.8 billion.

Increased Tax on Medical Device Manufacturers: The bill would change the annual fee with a set dollar amount to an excise tax on medical device sales at 2.9 percent of the price of the device, delayed until 2013.

Increased Fees on Health Insurers: H.R. 4872 would delay the effective date on the net premiums for the insurance company tax from 2010 to 2014, provide an exclusion for certain non-profit insurers and voluntary employees’ beneficiary associations, and increase the annual fee to $14.3 billion in 2018, increasing thereafter annually based on premium growth.

Delay of Elimination of Deductible Part D Subsidy: The bill would end the deduction for the Medicare Part D subsidy two years later-in 2013.

Eliminates Credit for “Black Liquor”: The bill would prevent a byproduct from paper production known as “black liquor” from qualifying for the cellulosic biofuels tax credit.

But obviously, it’s Bush’s fault….

POLL:

The Health Care Summit Accomplished a thing!

Yes, you read that right: the health care summit accomplished something! During the longest eight hours of my life, Obama showed to the American people how arrogant and egocentric he is. He wasn’t willing to listen to Republicans’ ideas, he was only willing to tell us the story of his life. During those eight hours, Obama also showed he can pick his own nose.

And when John McCain was asking for transparency, Obama showed his bitter side, again:

And some people think he’s charismatic. Ha ha.

Answer the poll:

Prayers for Chile.

UPDATE: Death toll rises to 708.
An earthquake hit Chile this morning (3:34 local time). More than 300 people have died as a consequence of this earthquake, and 2 million have been affected. The electricity supply was interrupted. The airport of Santiago has been closed due to structural problems in its main building, and is expected to be habilitated in 48 hours. The local hospitals have collapsed.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of the people affected by this earthquake.

God bless the greatest nation on Earth: the United States of America!

Health Care Summit.

After his successful Beer Summit last year, President Obama is back with a Health Care Summit. The following is a list of what to expect:

• Obama will say the Republican Party is the “Party of No,” even though they have ideas. The Democrats are the ones saying no to our ideas. Arrogance we can believe in.
• Obama will blame Bush. “In the last eight years…” He needs a new strategy…
• If you want to count the “uh’s,” good luck! You’ll lose the count.
• Six hours. Quite an Obama marathon, huh? Don’t count the “I’s” neither. You’ll lose the count again.
• I heard Pelosi is attending. She’ll lose a couple of pounds. Reid may comment. Maybe he’ll address Obama’s lack of “negro dialect.” Then they’ll both be hypocrites and say reconciliation is great even though they were speaking against it back in 2005! Flip-flops we can believe in!

The Health Care bill is unpopular. Obama, Pelosi and Reid -or as I call them “The Unholy Trinity”- want to push the bill down our throats. But we the people are watching. The health care bill isn’t even about lowering the cost of health care, it’s about the federal government taking over one sixth of the American Economy -the socialists’ dream!

UPDATE: Answer the poll!

Cap and Trade will cost YOU a lot more than a stamp a day….

The United States House of Representatives passed the deceptively titled “American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009,” also known as the Waxman/Markey/Pelosi bill. This bill is now scheduled to go before the Senate. If this legislation becomes law, it will have a costly impact on you, the American People.

The legislation will:

• Cost Americans an estimated 77 ¢ per gallon more for gasoline at the pump. This means a 20 gallon fill-up will cost you an additional $15.40

1 gal ——– + $ .77

10 gal ——– + $7.70

20 gal ——– +$15.40

• Cost the average American family $1500 per year in additional energy costs.
• Weaken America’s ability to compete worldwide by increasing the costs of producing ALL goods in the United States.
• Reduce economic growth and recovery by destroying more than one million US jobs.

Democrats’ SOTOP Talking Points.

The following is an excerpt of Democrats talking points:

“The American People Demand Accountability from ‘The Party of No’”

Senate Democrats have made their goals clear to the American people – we are about strengthening our economy, creating good paying jobs and ensuring all Americans can access affordable health care.

· We understand the anger, anxiety and frustration among American families as the economy continues its recovery.

· We have made progress, but we know that much work lies ahead of us.

· The American people are still waiting to find out where Republicans stand on the important issues.

· On Meet the Press this weekend, the Senate Republican leader was asked what his caucus planned to support in a bipartisan manner.  His answer – or lack thereof – prompted the moderator to claim, “So it sounds like the party of no charge is well deserved.”

· So far, all we know about the Republican plan is that they side with health insurers over patients, they want to take it easy on Wall Street – even at the expense of Main Street and they’re content to sit on the sidelines and obstruct progress as the American people struggle.

· The American people, now more than ever, will hold them accountable if they decide to continue sitting on their hands and doing nothing.

I am a Republican. Democrats call us “Party of No.” But dear Democrats: we are the party of YES! Yes to freedom. Yes to individual responsibility. Yes to the individual’s right to keep and bear arms. Yes to less government spending. Yes to lower taxes. Yes to a smaller federal government. Yes to TORT reform. Yes to buying health insurance across state limits. Republicans don’t blame America, Republicans don’t apologize for America and Republicans are proud Americans. Republicans believe America has the right to defend Herself. Republicans support freedom. Republicans support free speech.

Republicans like me have a brain, so we don’t support a government takeover of healthcare. We opposed the failed stimulus.

Massachusetts elected Scott Brown to vote NO to a government takeover of one sixth of the American economy. Maybe he was elected because “the party of no” is actually in touch with we the people. Unlike the party that is willing to  push the dang health care bill down our throats. Obama even dared to say people elected Scott Brown because the people are angry at Bush, who the hell is he trying to kid?! I’m mad as hell at him, because he’s destroying the country I love.

So today, SOTOP [State of the Obama Propaganda] is about blaming Bush and Republicans.

More coming up.
