Democrats Possessed With Taxation

He promised to remake the country when the country was vulnerable and over half the country took the bait, Democrat Congress and Senate members thought they were on the gravy train; it only cost them their careers to be the cannon fodder for Obama’s silly dreams of Marxism. The Democrat Party is on the verge of extinction and after two more years of the man child trying to convince us that we are too stupid to accept Socialism, there will be few who will bemoan the passing of the once powerful and vibrant political voice.

It is hard to feel sorry for a political party that put all its faith in an unknown who was raised in a family of Marxists, who was mentored by a Marxist and pervert (Frank Marshall Davis), who sought out Marxist professors at college (by his own admission), who befriended Marxist Terrorists (Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn) and who surrounded himself with Marxist Czars after being elected. Did they think the country would slide into Marxism and they could enjoy the privileges of being Marxist Elite Rulers for the rest of their lives?

Surely some of them did and others thought they better follow the lead of the Marxist and his nitwit leaders Pelosi and Reid, just in case they did make the country into a Marxist cess pool. Now they await the verdict of the public on November 2, like French Nobility awaiting their date with the guillotine.

Some of the indications of Obama’s political demise are more subtle. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is refusing to be used as a prop for the Obama State of the Union Address when the Justices enter the House of Representatives and assume their obvious position in the front row. He maintains that the speech has become awkward and political for the justices, who are expected to sit:

“like the proverbial potted plant.”

Justice Alito, pushed the dignity of the situation at the last State of the Union Address, when the president lied during an unprecedented rebuke of the Supreme Court for their decision in a campaign finance case by shaking his head and mouthing the words:

Not True

It is nice to see a Supreme Court Justice refuse to participate in a political ceremony that has now devolved through the arrogance and Narcissism of the President into a political ploy designed to appear as if the president is lecturing the Supreme Court for decisions that he doesn’t approve of, in front of the nation and the world.

The 60-year-old justice, an appointee of President George W. Bush, acknowledged with a smile that his colleagues “who are more disciplined refrain from manifesting any emotion or opinion whatsoever.”

Alito, answering questions following a speech Wednesday at the conservative Manhattan Institute in New York, also said, “Presidents will fake you out.” The institute provided an online video link to Alito’s talk and question-and-answer session.

The president will begin a sentence with an invocation of the country’s greatness, Alito said. If justices don’t jump up and applaud, “you look very unpatriotic,” he said.

But, Alito continued, then the president may finish the thought by adding “because we’re conducting a surge in Iraq or because we’re enacting health care reform.” Justices aren’t supposed to react to statements about policy or politics.

The better course, Alito said, is to follow the example of more experienced justices like Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and the recently retired John Paul Stevens. None has attended in several years.
“So I doubt that I will be there in January,” Alito said.

There are a few Democrats that are willing to blame Pelosi for their refusal to listen to their constituencies and vote with Obama on Obama Care and the Stimulus, as if they were robbed of their ‘free will’ and had to follow the dictates of the extremely unpopular Speaker of the House, who maintained that her members would need to pass Obama Care if they wanted to know what was in the bill. Fortunately, there are many citizens who don’t want the country to operate on these Marxist type parliamentary procedures and are more than ready to reject those who supported Pelosi and her dictatorial control of the House. A control that was only real because of the weakness of those who followed the Pelosi/Obama White Rabbit down the outhouse hole.

Call them the anti-Pelosi Democrats who are openly opposing Pelosi for another term as speaker if their party can somehow maintain control of the House. Republicans are widely expected to make big gains in the Nov. 2 elections.

Two Democrats, Reps. Jim Marshall of Georgia and Bobby Bright of Alabama, have even taken out ads saying they won’t support Pelosi in the next Congress.

Marshall told Fox News he’s not running against Pelosi per se; just seeking to neutralize the resonant issue Republicans have created by tying all Democratic candidates to the California Democrat.

Yet Marshall still hedged when asked if he thinks Pelosi has been a “good” speaker.

“It’s a real challenge when somebody comes from a district that is as liberal as Ms. Pelosi’s district to govern from the middle, which is where we need people to be governing,” he said.

Vulnerable first-timer Bobby Bright in Alabama is also pledging to oust Pelosi as speaker as are at least four other House Democrats, from New York to Oregon.

Some may squeak by to hang on to a seat for another go around, condemned to be a lame duck that no one will take seriously during the rest of their term. It is highly possible that the TEA Party may rise to challenge the Republicans in 2012, for Obama is taking the Democrat Party with him to inglorious defeat and humiliation in 2012, if he decides to run.

You can’t help but pity those few states and local politicians who insist on maintaining their Democrat identity, even if it means having almost no representation in Washington, except for a president who appears to be less and less in touch with reality as his failures become more obvious and based on Marxist ideology. Like the cowards who elect to go down with the ship rather than risk jumping to a life boat.

States like Connecticut are involved in hotly contested races and are on the verge of major political upsets with Senate Candidate McMahon, Congressional Candidate Janet Peckinpaugh, Decorated Veteran State Assembly Candidate Chris Coutu and Ct Governor candidate Tom Foley.

In typical Obama style leadership reflecting a Totalitarian Marxist mindset, the same that has condemned him and his policies, the new Norwich Assessor, Donna Ralston, has taken it upon herself to make sure that all businesses honor the letter of the law by reporting the sum total of their equipment. Now we the public are left wondering if these efforts are a method of control by politicians lost in the lust of power and control that was the hay day of the Obama Administration or is this another wise method of increasing the tax base so that local governments can survive in this, The Obama Recession.

Following the Obama template for increasing the public payroll, increasing tax revenue, and attacking businesses, Ralston has added 400 members to her staff and is now going after taxes for all the equipment owned by businesses.

In this profile we have Mr Harold Mecteau, who maintains these collection efforts are counter productive and doing more harm than good. He is a one man home remodeling business doing less than $14,000/year out of his home, he is now being required to pay taxes on his hand tools: the same ones he’s had for years, the circular saw he bought used for $68, the 20 foot ladder that is 30 years old, and his electric drill. The county under Ralston plans to get every tax dime possible no matter how ridiculous the effort seems, for at the core of every Obama Socialist beats the heart of a pure Maoist dictator.

Just this month, Mr Mecteau received a notice from Ralston’s Assessor’s office requiring him to declare his personal property including the tools of his trade. Ralston maintains that she has sent out 400 notices this month asking for people to list their personal property.

“They are supposed to file,” she said. “So if they don’t find me, I find them.”

She said she did in Norwich what she did everywhere else she has worked. She checked the Consumer Protection Agency for business licenses, the secretary of the state’s office for limited liability corporations and incorporated groups and the city clerk for registered businesses. She also looked in the phone book.

“If they’re a home business, they probably don’t have a lot to declare,” she said. “However, fair is fair. If a big business is declaring (personal property), a little business should be declaring, too. We’re not trying to drive them out. We’re just trying to be fair.”

Harold thinks the totalitarian attitude of the local Progressive Socialist Assessor isn’t fair, he is turning 64 in February and admits to slowing down and since the small business man doesn’t get the breaks like the big businesses (GM, Chrysler, and our Banks) it puts an undue pressure on him in this tough economy.

He and his wife live in a three bedroom home that they now share with a grown son that was laid off recently when a relative’s business failed. He has been drawing his Social Security since July and is limited to $1,400 a month income, the Mecteaus pay $5,000 a year in property taxes

The state will reap a tidy sum of $5.12 (that’s right five dollars and twelve cents) after hiring 400 employees for the tax assessor’s office, tracking down Harold, and figuring the depreciation on the equipment. The Democrats feel the control and power is worth the effort despite the diminishing returns on the efforts of the state. In other words they want control over your life. If you buy a pencil and tablet for three dollars, the state needs to know and tax you accordingly; it may also indicate the possibility that you intend on taking on a much larger portion of the economy than you are entitled.

People of Connecticut, you have an opportunity to turn around this hypocrisy and insanity; you have excellent candidates, Senate Candidate McMahon, Congressional Candidate Janet Peckinpaugh, Decorated Veteran State Assembly Candidate Chris Coutu and Ct Governor candidate Tom Foley, who are determined to purge your state of this Obama Totalitarian Government. There is a movement sweeping across America, a reactionary wave to rid ourselves of Obamanism and government intrusion in our lives. The rest of the country is asking you to open your checkbooks and remember to vote for the Conservative candidates. We Americans and Harold Mecteau are counting on you.
