This is the post of the week…deserves air time.
Why did our forefathers fight the Revolutionary War?
Seniors will get to pay a VAT on there savings.
On top of having their medicare payments spent on current workers healthcare.
On top of getting paid only 1% interest on savings so banks can make big $s!

“Value added tax” is such a misnomer. I mean, seriously: how does increasing the price of goods and services almost exponentially increase the value of anything at all? Maybe we could call it a “Socialism added tax” or, more aptly, the “Obama tax”.

They say they have to cut spending and raise taxes, but they will do the latter first, then say, “Look! We have money now, so we don’t need to cut!” Nudge, nudge, wink, wink….

Weren’t the high property taxes in CT supposed to be dropped with the adoption of the state income tax? How is that working out for you guys?

The only solution for the Social Democrats is “raise taxes”. It is reflexive for them, as it allows class warfare and gives them power over the money. The “tax and spend” Democrat is alive and well.

This should come as no suprise at all since like Obama, Pelosi wants to see both the healthcare and pensions systems in this country go the way of often support European socialist nations.
