Is Same old Same Old

NOBODY pays any attention to Hollywood hypocracy sooooo Fully aware as president, Ronald Reagan understood the powerful, negative impact taxes have on the American family. Reagan knew that time spent working at extra jobs to pay taxes is time spent away from the family, time robbed from children, time that can never be repaid once a child has outgrown the formative years. The song,"Cat's In the Cradle" is a musical poem lamenting spending too much time working when a reasonable amount COULD and SHOULD be spent with the children. The overwhelming taxes inflicted on working Americans by the U.S. government forces parents to work two or three jobs and literally translates to children who are not read to, talked to, listened to, prayed with, hugged, or cuddled as much as they need. Some parents think gifts to children makes up for time not spent with them. Michael Reagan has mentioned the "gifts instead of time by feeling-guilty-parents on his radio show in the not-so-distant past. According to the nonpartisan Tax Foundation, the average American family now spends more on taxes than on shelter, food, clothing, and transportation combined, so much so that April 21,2014 is recognized as "Tax Freedom Day" because the money earned until that day--goes to the government! Sadly this is 3 days later than last year. Confiscatory taxes bear a Democratic trademark. Since the inception of the federal income tax in 1914, it has been increased thirteen times under Democratic administrations. It has been reduced eight times under Republican administrations. “Why the Conservative Movement Is Growing” Southern GOP Convention, Atlanta, Georgia, December 7, 1973 I’ve been told that some members of Congress disagree with my tax cut proposal.Well, you know it’s been said that taxation is the art of plucking the feathers without killing the bird. It’s time they realized the bird just doesn’t have any feathers left. Ronald Reagan from a time when the GOP stood for the working man/woman with TAX CUTS stated at Mid-Winter Congressional City Conference of the National League of Cities, March 2, 1981 ((Money at CNN says wage earners over 45 pay 75% of ALL the INCOME TAX collected.)) Like federal employees, taxpayers also work for the government— they just don’t have to take a civil service exam. Here in America, land of opportunity, governments at all levels are taxing away 40 percent of our nation’s income. We’ve been creeping closer to socialism, a system that someone once said works only in heaven, where it isn’t needed, and in hell, where they’ve already got it. Ronald Reagan from a time when the GOP stood for the working man/woman with TAX CUTS stated in “Federal Income Taxation,” radio address to the nation Camp David, Maryland, April 9, 1983 Socialism is workable only in heaven where it is not needed, and in hell where they've got it. Cecil Palmer We are socialists because we see in socialism, that is the union of all citizens, the only chance to maintain our racial inheritance and to regain our political freedom and renew our German state. Joseph Goebbels, 1933 The sin of liberal thinking was to overlook socialism's nation-building strengths, thereby allowing its energies to go in anti-national directions. The sin of Marxism was to degrade socialism into a question of wages and the stomach, putting it in conflict with the state and its national existence. An understanding of both these facts leads us to a new sense of socialism, which sees its nature as nationalistic, state-building, liberating and constructive. Joseph Goebbels, 1933 I am a Socialist, and a very different kind of Socialist from your rich friend, Count Reventlow. . . . What you understand by Socialism is nothing more than Marxism. Adolf Hitler, Spoken to Otto Strasser, Berlin, May 21, 1930 Tax rates are prices— prices for working, saving, and investing. And when you raise the price of those productive activities, you get less of them and more activity in the underground economy, tax shelters, and leisure pursuits. You in small business understand that you can’t force people to buy merchandise that isn’t selling by raising your price. But too many in Washington and across the country still believe that we can raise more revenue from the economy by making it more expensive to work, save, and invest in the economy.We can’t repeal human nature. National Federation of Independent Business conference Washington, D.C., June 22, 1983 And what about fairness for families? It’s in our families that America’s most important work gets done—raising our next generation. But over the last forty years, as inflation has shrunk the personal exemption, families with children have had to shoulder more and more of the tax burden.With inflation and bracket-creep also eroding incomes, many spouses who would rather stay home with their children have been forced to go looking for jobs. Signing the Tax Reform Act of 1986 White House South Lawn October 22, 1986 Like Hillary Rodham Clinton in her "It Takes a Village", Melissa Harris Perry of MSNBC parrots government OWNS YOUR Children... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=empqmUmtm_I No nation in history has ever survived a tax burden that reached a third of its national income. “A Time for Choosing” (a.k.a. “The Speech”) Televised address to the nation on behalf of Barry Goldwater, October 27, 1964 In 1980 the people decided with us that the economic crisis was not caused by the fact that they lived too well. Government lived too well. It was time for tax increases to be an act of last resort, not of first resort. The people told the liberal leadership in Washington, “Try shrinking the size of government before you shrink the size of our paychecks.” Acceptance speech, Republican National Convention Dallas, Texas, August 23, 1984 England may be the mother of parliaments, but from the Boston Tea Party to this administration, it’s the United States that has been the mother of tax revolts. You know, that’s a pretty good line. I can hardly wait to try it out on Margaret Thatcher. Briefing for the American Business Conference The White House, March 23, 1988 Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but Democrats believe every day is April 15. Said on several occasions Red State reporter, Steven Crowder was in Michigan in December of 2012 recording the protests as they took place. At some point, as Moe Lane reported, violent mob destroys the Americans For Prosperity (AFP) tent on the lawn of the state capital in Lansing, Michigan during protest against right to work legislation. When Crowder attempted to intervene, he was assaulted by multiple protestors with one protestor even shouting that he would “kill a mother f__ker with a gun.” http://www.redstate.com/2012/12/11/union-thugs-shout-ill-kill-a-mother-f-ker-with-a-gun-while-assaulting-opponents/ "I am saddened by union protestors' complete disregard for safety and freedom of speech, tearing down an AFP tent and stomping on peaceful AFP demonstrators trapped under the tent," AFP Michigan State Director Scott Hagerstrom stated. "Angry, violent union protestors are yelling, screaming, and physically assaulting citizens they disagree with all while chanting 'this is what democracy looks like,'" Hagerstrom stated. "That isn't what democracy looks like, democracy is about free speech and peaceful assembly, not putting people's well-being in danger just because you disagree with them."
