POPSProudly Saying NO No, I do not want us to curb our natural resource exploration for the sake of the environmentalist lobbies. We need to find and utilize more reserves of oil, coal, and natural gas. No, I do not want the government telling me how or where to educate my child. No, I do not want the government involved in my personal health care. I can take care of myself. And I will take care of family and friends who need health assistance. No, I do not support killing fetuses, regardless of their stage of development. If we are not allowed life, then liberty and the pursuit of happiness are meaningless. No, I do not support the destruction of fetuses for scientific research, no matter how important a potential discovery may be. No, I do not want illegal aliens absorbing resources and influencing legislation designed for American citizens. Everyone is welcome in our home; just come in the front door. No, I do not want dictatorships to possess nuclear weapons. No, I do not want terro

POPSThe American Class System I just happened to come across this entry in a blog called "Real Eyes Realize Real Lies". The common sense discussion by the author of this blog made me feel jealous of his ability to express what I've been thinking. I sense that there are a lot of people out there in these United States that are thinking the same way....including those who just love tea-parties!

POPSDeficit – What Is It and How Much Is It? For the 2010 budget year, the federal government has budgeted tax receipts of approximately $2.4 trillion and budgeted expenditures of approximately $3.6 trillion, leaving a budget deficit of roughly $1.2 trillion. That means the federal government expects to add about $1.2 trillion to the national debt in 2010. Stated another way, the federal government plans on spending 50% more than it collects in taxes in 2010. If American families ran their household budgets this way, they would go bankrupt. But our Washington politicians seem to think they can keep spending as much as they want to, regardless of how much money our government actually has. Thank you for visiting this site and reading this article on the deficit and the national debt. Your interest in the national debt and related topics is very much appreciated, and you are invited to read additional articles on this site. http://twitter.com/TheNationalDebt

POPSSite Update Services When you plan to establish a business on the Internet particularly an online store, one important thing that you must understand is the concept of online shopping cart system. A shopping cart system is a software used in e-commerce to help people in making online purchases. It allows online shoppers to virtually accumulate and sort a list of items or products to buy. Upon checkout, the software calculates the total cost of items as well as the charges associated with shipping and taxes.

POPSHOUSE OF FOOLS Get Out And Vote The Security Counsel of the United Nations was not elected. Climate Change leaders are not elected, not democratic, not basing their decisions of science. Ponder for a moment. Why do they want your money if they can't save the world. ALL IS VANITY. Climate Change taxes are fraudulent. Don't give them your money unless they can save the world (which they can't). I believe that Kyoto was designed to keep the whole continent of Africa in a state of servitude because it thwarts it's devellopement.

POPSOur Incredible Shrinking Democracy Democracy requires at least three things: (1) Important decisions are made in the open. (2) The public and its representatives have an opportunity to debate them, so the decisions can be revised in light of what the public discovers and wants. And (3) those who make the big decisions are accountable to voters.

POPSConservative Dystopia vs. Economic Life This is what Reaganites have always meant when they’ve talked of a “shining city on a hill.” They envision a dystopia whose anti-tax fires incinerate social fabric faster than James Dobson can say “family values”—a place like Colorado Springs that is starting to reek of economic death. more in next comment box ...

POPSObama About to Raise Taxes on 95% of All Americans
The targeted tax provisions were enacted under the Bush administration's Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. Among other things, the law lowered individual tax rates, slashed taxes on capital gains and dividends, and steadily scaled back the estate tax to zero in 2010. If the provisions are allowed to expire on December 31, the top-tier personal income tax rate will rise to 39.6 percent from 35 percent. But lower-income families will pay more as well: the 25 percent tax bracket will revert back to 28 percent; the 28 percent bracket will increase to 31 percent; and the 33 percent bracket will increase to 36 percent. The special 10 percent bracket is eliminated. Investors will pay more on their earnings next year as well, with the tax on dividends jumping to 39.6 percent from 15 percent and the capital-gains tax increasing to 20 percent from 15 percent. The estate tax is eliminated this year, but it will return in 2011 --

POPSNext in Line for a Bailout: Social Security Trend-turning event, spotted by Elle d'Coda, Thanks. Too bad I have had to re-clip it to include it in our classified collection. If only Amplifiers could elect to share categorisation and tagging functions .... That would be much more useful than "autogenerated tags" which simply repeat words in the text which are search-able anyway.

POPSStates Have the Power to Tell President Stay Out Articulate and intelligent video interview with former sheriff Richard Mack. In it, Mack provides insight on the limits of the federal government and the president, as well as the legal power many sheriffs do not exercise in upholding their Oath of Office to protect the American people. A firm supporter of the US Constitution and a member of Oath Keepers, Mack discusses many current issues in this 7-minute interview, including what is law enforcement’s and military’s Oath of Office, Mack’s successful suit against the Clinton administration, the federal government’s creative efforts to revise the Constitution, the sworn duties and responsibilities of American sheriffs, and Pres. Barack Obama’s and his supporters’ efforts to increase gun control restrictions to dilute the right to bear arms guaranteed to the American people by our 2nd Amendment of the Constitution.

POPSWhere Your Tax Dollars Really Go We the people need to take stock of what is happening to our country. As the government and government workers increase the PRIVATE SECTOR (WE THE PEOPLE) get saddled with the bill. None of these PUBLIC EMPLOYEES produce one dollar towards the financial stability of this country. Each and everyone of these employees are being paid by YOU AND I. You think Obama would think to cut the BUDGET DEFICITS by actually CUTTING the NUMBER of PUBLIC SECTOR JOBS? NAW!!! he would rather raise our taxes and continue to soak us while paying all these paper pushers in the public sector job market.

POPSDid Reuters Yank Article “Backdoor Taxes Hit Middle Class” I think it was the language used in the article that prompted Reuters to pull it. In particular, it was the series of phrases shown below that, combined with the one mentioned above, must have made the hair stand up on the back of Rahm Emanuel’s neck: “…effectively a tax hike by stealth.” “middle-class families will face a slew of these backdoor increases.” Perhaps the largest contributing factor to the article being yanked is a list of tax break provisions popular among middle-class families that Obama might allow to expire: * Taxpayers who itemize will lose the option to deduct state sales-tax payments instead of state and local income taxes. * The $250 teacher tax credit for classroom supplies. * The tax deduction for up to $4,000 of college tuition and expenses. * Individuals who don’t itemize will no longer be able to increase their standard deduction by up to $1,000 for property taxes paid. * The first $2,400 of unemployment ....

POPS From ‘Cap and Trade’ to ‘Smoke and Mirrors’ — They want the “Climate Bill” to pass because it’s designed to gouge the energy and manufacturing sector out of $646 billion in tax dollars over ten years. All to finance his crypto-socialist programs. The Democrats see the climate bill as a cash cow, but Republicans aren’t buying it. The 104 nuclear reactors in operation in 31 states provide only 20 percent of the nation’s electricity. But they are responsible for 70 percent of the power from pollution-free sources, including wind, solar and hydroelectric dams. The only real issue with nuclear power is nuclear waste. The plants themselves do not emit any significant radiation. You receive more exposure to radiation flying in a plane than you do if you lived next to a nuclear power plant. The United States government spent $38 billion on the Yucca Mountain facility in Nevada, after years of environmental and feasibility studies. But green ideologues and their political vassals like Harry Reid have finally managed

POPSDeficit Q & A David Walker is the Paul Revere of the federal budget, sounding the alarm about galloping deficits long before it was cool to talk about making revenues meet obligations. Q. Is there a point at which China could say, 'We've decided to stop lending you money?' A. What's more likely is that China will say, 'We're not going to lend you money unless you pay us higher interest rates.'"

POPS Monetary Stimulus Produces Phony Recovery “Pres. George W. Bush…came into office when annual federal spending was $1.86 trillion. He proposed to increase spending at a healthy clip, rising to $2.71 trillion by 2011. “Bush and his team started blowing their budget almost immediately. They kept spending more and more " wars, a giant new homeland-security bureaucracy, a big-government response to Katrina, the prescription-drug bill, doubling K-12 education spending, big pay raises for federal workers, financial bailouts, and so on. I can’t think of a single crisis that occurred on President Bush’s watch that the Bush-Rove team didn’t have an interventionist and big-spending response to. “In Bush’s last year, FY2009, the government spent $1 trillion more than the Bush-Rove team had originally planned. It is true that 2009 spending included $112 billion for the Obama stimulus bill, so let’s take that out. With that adjustment, the Bush-Rove team ended up spending $916 billion more annually by 2009 than they had .....

POPSPolitical Futures e couldn't resist more banker baiting, and he promised that he's determined to see tax rates rise for millions of Americans next year when the Bush rates are set to expire. He also pushed more exports while saying he'll raise taxes on some of our biggest exporters, otherwise known as multinationals that 'ship our jobs overseas.' Mr. Obama believes he can conjure jobs and a durable expansion from the private sector while waging political war on its animal spirits. It can't be done. This reflects a larger problem, which is his belief that economic growth springs mainly from the genius of government." --The Wall Street Journal Staying the Course - WSJ.com http://bit.ly/d2tl5R
