New York, New York....PAY UP!

Below: An excerpt from one of Limbaughs shows:

“I'm telling you, these people have been paying a lot of tax freight.  There is no way Governor Paterson's going to raise $4 billion a year on this.  Because, folks, it's axiomatic: when you raise taxes on an activity, you reduce that activity.  People start doing that activity less.  In this case: working.  When you reduce taxes on an activity, then that activity increases.  When you reduce taxes on income, people start working harder to earn more.  Governor Paterson needs to cut taxes on people.  He needs to spur investment.  He needs to get people going and working.  It's just the exact opposite.  Governor Paterson is like most other liberal Democrats: zero-sum game. The economy is a pie. It never grows. Somebody gets their slice; somebody gets their slice."

            "So I'll tell you what I'm going to do.  I'm going to look for an alternative studio somewhere outside New York, perhaps Texas -- another no-income-tax state -- and I'm going to get the hell over there, when a hurricane starts coming our way, 'cause I told Mayor Bloomberg: I'll be the first to lead the way.  You know, this is just... I'll sell my apartment. I'll sell my condominium. I'm going to get out of there totally, 'cause this is just absurd, and it's ridiculous -- and it isn't going to work. It's punishing the achievers for the mistakes and the lack of discipline on the part of a bunch of corrupt politicians that have run that city and state into the ground for I don't know how many years -- and I, for one, am not going to take the blame for it.”


___This is what liberals do.  They spend everybody into oblivion.  They blame the rich for not paying enough, and they raise taxes on them.  And they decrease the activity that generates the tax revenue.  There are going to be others that are going to get out of there, especially in this economy.

___Its not hard to believe this is happening in New York, but at the same time it is hard to believe that they are doing this to their own kind.  Liberals against Liberals.  WOW.

I think that the angle being taken here is that even the government is looking past political parties.  They arent interested in weather your a democrat, lib, or conservative.  They are most interested in how taxable you are, HOW MUCH CAN THEY GET FROM YOU??!!  Because in new york, even the Libs have high paying jobs. WOW 

I think its kind of funny that they're now being "taken" by their own.  AMAZING NEW YORK, NEW YORK.

Emergency!

Here's a book by an author i mildly, enjoy on a subject that is particularly interesting to me. He is wary of the man, and what the future holds, as many people are in turbulent times like today. I haven't read this book, but from the description it seems like people who "know" about the man and what he does will find it useful.

Here's an excerpt from the book

“After the last few years of violence and terror, of ethnic and religious hatred, of tsunamis and hurricanes–and now of world financial meltdown–Strauss, like most of his generation, came to the sobering realization that, even in America, anything can happen. But rather than watch helplessly, he decided to do something about it. And so he spent three years traveling through a country that’s lost its sense of safety, equipping himself with the tools necessary to save himself and his loved ones from an uncertain future.”

Look Out!

Well the man is trying to strike again

At 10am ET there is a financial services Committee hearing over the AIG "controversy".  The Feds will be attempting to be a "savior" of business's that are in trouble.  Allowing them "Resolution Authority"  Now the naive may feel that this is necessary during our economic "crisis".  BUT:

Two very scary/ridiculous things about this.
1.  Congress voted on it and approved all of the AIG bonuses... Now they will be grilling the man(Geithner) who orchestrated it, on how this could have happened.
2.  "Resolution Authority" will give the federal government complete power when they determine that this business is in trouble.  In other words if they want to go into ANY business(banks) they can explain how much of an emergency state that business is in and will have complete power, to buy, sell and or other. 
3.  This will just be another way for the man to do destroy the little consumer confidence that we have left.  I mean why would anyone do business or buy shares in a business that could be ran by the feds at the flip of a switch.

This could be a massive chip off of the "FREE MARKET" that some say exists.

Ill be keeping up through out the day.

Side Note:  GO TO HELL BARNIE FRANK!!

The END of The Man

The Man...... "The Man" has taken many forms, such as the cops, the establishment, the machine, the government, the feds, corporate America, and Big Brother.

For the Wikipedia crowd: A slang phrase that refers to the government, leaders of large corporations, and other authority figures in general, rather than a specific person. "The Man" is colloquially defined as the figurative person who controls the world.  The phrase is also often used as a symbol of racial oppression, as well as the boss of blue-collar worker, and the enemy of any counterculture. 

Although in the past it was used merely by hippies and the man riding in his own shopping cart, "The Man" has certainly evolved.  

In consideration of recent events, it has become quite clear that government officials are the most overpaid and under worked gangsters in the known world.  "The man" has now changed to an entity of our own "elected" officials who are concerned with merely abuse of power and the lining of their own pockets.   Although their plans/conspiracies have not been so clear, we are certainly coming into a time where "The Man" has realized that he is unquestioned and relatively self-governed.

            Now before you jump to the conclusion that I am some anti-government crazy man, I'll let you know that I was not always this skeptical, I was actually the opposite, I believed in our government and our elected officials, I believed that we were actually in a Democratic society.  BUT oddly as I became more educated and more involved I started to see things more clearly and actually understand how governed/ “held down” we are by THE MAN.

            The purpose of this Blog is merely to share.  As I’m sure you all do, I constantly have ideas, and come to realizations about subjects.  Through information, I have found myself with conclusions that I had never thought about before.  Now assuming that I am not the only one, I think through the world of the Net, I can most certainly connect with other individuals with facts and conclusions about any and all subjects of todays corrupt but wonderful world that we live in.

Complaining, excessive sarcasm, and overall taunting of the authorities is always encouraged at vstheman.blogspot :)
