This is so outrageous…!
We’re gonna PAY other nations affected by the global financial crisis…???
Democrats have included a $5 billion increase for the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to help aid nations affected by the global financial crisis.
(Pardon me here, but when OUR nation is suffering, with 1.8 MILLION jobs lost since Obama took office, and AMERICANS are facing huge tax increases…HOW DARE the government to give away $5 billion to “other nations”…!!! )
Republicans say that is reason enough to vote against the entire $106 billion spending bill and are certain voters will understand.
“Once the American people learn that the Democrats are using a war-funding bill for a global bailout, they’ll know what to do,” House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (Ind.) told The Hill. “We’ll take the message to the floor and to the American people, and I expect we’ll win this fight.”

Patriotic to pay more taxes...???
Dear President Obama,
Vice President Joe Biden said during the 2008 campaign that it is patriotic for Americans to pay more in taxes.
Since taking over control of Washington, the Democrats have decided we should all be more "patriotic" having passed or proposed more than $5 trillion in new spending and $1.4 trillion in new taxes.
And I do not approve of the $1.4 trillion in new taxes, $636 billion in higher energy taxes, the staggering redistribution of wealth and wasteful spending you are prescribing as a cure for the economic crisis.
To hold the Democrats in Washington accountable for their record tax, spend and borrow schemes, I am sending a virtual tea bag to protest your plans to raise taxes on every American this Tax Day.
Sincerely,
Dr. Chris Albritton

I don't believe that it is patriotic to pay more taxes.

Obama's MASSIVE Budget
Dear Senator Cornyn,
I urge you to reject President Obama's budget, which taxes and spends at a rate that Americans like me today, and my children and grandchildren tomorrow, simply cannot afford.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has predicted that the Obama budget would push the federal deficit to a mind-numbing $1.85 trillion this year and pile up $9.3 trillion in deficits over the next decade, on top of the existing $11 trillion national debt. CBO called these deficits "unsustainable."
What's more, the President's budget would impose a whole host of new and higher taxes just as our economy is struggling to emerge from its current recession. The $636 billion income tax increase on individuals and small businesses would discourage entrepreneurship and stifle job creation. The plan for a cap-and-trade energy system would raise the costs of electricity, gasoline, and other products and services that I purchase. I've seen estimates that this so-called "light bulb tax" could cost American families as much as $3,100 annually!
I also understand that the House and Senate leadership are considering a parliamentary maneuver, called "budget reconciliation," to stifle debate on the President's budget and ram through its controversial policies on energy and nationalized healthcare. Such far-reaching changes to our economy and society merit time for careful debate and consideration, not only within the halls of Congress but also among Americans like me. I urge you to oppose any such anti-democratic maneuver.
We cannot continue on our current course of taxing, borrowing, and
spending. America needs a budget that cuts spending, promotes fiscal
responsibility, and encourages economic growth. President Obama's budget advances none of these goals.
Sincerely,
Dr. Chris Albritton

I support the FairTax
A national retail sales tax to replace the income tax system will greatly improve the nation's economy, help to increase the national savings rate, and bring simplicity and fairness to the federal tax system.
The FairTax proposal is a comprehensive plan to replace federal income and payroll taxes, including personal, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security/Medicare, self-employment, and corporate taxes.
The FairTax proposal integrates such features as a progressive national retail sales tax, and a rebate to ensure that no American pays federal taxes up to the poverty level.
My employees would get to take home their whole paychecks.
Currently, I have to withhold federal income tax and SS tax from my employee’s paychecks.
Under FairTax, no federal income taxes or payroll (SS) taxes would be withheld from their paychecks. They would get to keep all that they earn. No tax on used goods. The amount you pay to fund the government is totally visible.
With the FairTax you are only taxed once on any good or service; the sales tax is charged just as state sales taxes are today. If you choose to buy used goods - used car, used home, used appliances - you do not pay the FairTax.
If, as a business owner or farmer, you buy something for strictly business purposes (not for personal consumption), you pay no consumption tax.
When you decide what to buy and how much to spend, you see exactly how much you are contributing to the government with each purchase.
