MORE DEFICIT SOLUTIONS

New deficit solution #1: The STUPID fine.
New deficit solution #2: The ASSHOLE tax.

How it works: Every time you get caught doing something totally stupid, you pay a fine of 10% of your last years tax liability. Every time you get caught acting like a total jerk, you pay 10% of last years taxes.

Example #1: You are driving on the interstate and ignore 10 signs in 2 miles telling you the left lane is closed ahead because you just HAVE to get in front of as many other vehicles as you can before you get stopped in the traffic jam. I mean, after all, you DESERVE to be ahead of all the other vehicles, YOU'RE in a hurry. This is YOUR highway. How dare you people get in MY way? If you manage to force your way in without causing an accident, you get the asshole tax assessed. If you hit the cones, signs, or barrier because the people at the head of the line have had their fill of assholes like you and wouldn't let you over at the last second, you get the stupid tax assessed. If you cause an accident involving another vehicle, you are slapped with both fines, therefore becoming an official STUPID ASSHOLE and costing yourself 20% of last years federal income tax liability on top of the normal state fines for reckless driving etc. Said asshole earned $50,000 and paid $10,000 in fed income tax last year, making his contribution to deficit reduction $2,000.

Example #2: Congressman so-and-so states we can't base any more troops on Guam or Okinawa because the extra weight of men and equipment may cause the island to tip over and sink. Yep, that's right, one of our brilliant Congressmen actually said this at a House hearing!
Unfortunately I can't remember his name or state. Hmm, wonder if he can even remember his own name? Anyway, I digress. Said Congressperson earned $238,000 last year and paid $500 in fed income tax. Wait a minute, the first asshole made 50k and paid 10k in taxes, how did the Congressman only pay $500??? Ah well, it won't matter in the long run, even though the Congressman's fine is only $50, anyone that stupid will be paying that 50 bucks several times every day.

You ask how to enforce such taxes? Obama will appoint a "czar" to create another trillion $ federal agency to watch and listen to you via satellite 24/7.

TWO WEEKS

Hello friends,

Election day is 2 weeks away. Make no mistake about it, we are at the most critical juncture in American history since the civil war. This election will determine whether our country remains a bastain of freedom or goes down the European socialist path to destruction. Obama has instituted the first massive grab of power this country has ever seen. Our government has taken over control of the auto, banking, and healthcare industries, and Obama has put unelected "czars" in charge, who answer not to Congress, but only to him. Runaway government deficit spending is threatening to collapse our currency. How soon are you ready to pay $10.00 for a loaf of bread, $20 for a gallon of gas???? Think this can't happen almost overnight? The dollar has already lost 1/3 of it's exchange value against foreign currencies in the last 10 years. The U.S. government has been FORMALLY warned by the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and the G8, that it MUST cut government spending or risk bankruptcy. That's right, we are tottering on the verge of insolvency RIGHT NOW.

We, the American people, control our destiny. Once again I ask you all to please do your part. Educate yourself on your local candidates and go vote.

NOV 2 IS ALMOST HERE

Hello friends,

As I have said before, we are in the most critical time in American history since the civil war.
Less than 1 month till we find out if we will save our country or become the United Socialist States of America. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE accept your responsibility as an American citizen to vote. You can bet your last $ the Democrats will be sending busses around all the "hoods" and "casas" to give rides to the polling places. (And probably offering free lunches too.) Tell your co-workers. Educate your families. Offer your elderly neighbor a ride to the polls.

If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem,

WHICH WORSE, POLITICAL CROOKS OR BUSINESS CROOKS?

Who are the bigger crooks, politicians or businessmen? I'd say it's a tossup. Both are DIRECTLY responsible for our current economic straits.
Remember a few years ago when Hershey Foods (Candy) built a new plant in Mexico and put hundreds of Central Pennsylvania workers out of jobs? The CEO of Hershey was Richard Lenny. Lenny was also on the board of trustees for Milton Hershey School, a $7.5 billion charity founded by Milton Hershey to provide a high quality education to orphaned children. The charter of this foundation specifically states that NO funds are to be used for ANY other purposes.
It has recently been revealed that the Milton Hershey Trust board voted to pay $12 million for a golf course valued at less than $4 million adjoining school property. Said golf course was going bankrupt. Guess who was an investor in the course? Yeah, Lenny. That was real hard to figure out, wasn't it? Lenny, whose total compensation reward for putting Americans out of jobs his last year before retiring (2007) was $11.3 million.
As I have said before, the scum running American corporations today are no better than the politicians. The only thing they think about is how much they can put in their own pockets. They could care less if the whole country collapses in the next ten years as long as they are getting rich beyond our wildest dreams.

My friends, we, the American public, are also owners of these companies. If you have a 401k or an IRA, you are in the stock market. Just like politics, it's time to let these bastards know "we're mad and we're not going to take it any more." I know it's hard for most of you to find 5 minutes to do something you really like doing, let alone spend an hour writing letters. But let me remind you "all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
Just like the political situation, if we don't fix this stuff now, America as we know it will be gone within our lifetimes.

I WANT TO WORK FOR MEG WHITMAN

I'd like to apply for the now vacant house cleaning position at Meg Whitman's place. $23 per hour for a maid. Wow. I definitely give her credit though for treating her employees generously, unlike most employers nowadays, who expect you to do the work of 2 people for the wages of 3/4 of a person. Good for you Meg, you sound like a decent human being to me.

For those of you unfamiliar with the story, she's the Republican candidate for governor of California. The one the man hating, socialist, feminazi attorny Gloria Allred is trying to crucify over having an illegal alien housekeeper. Said housekeeper worked for Whitman for 9 years until Whitman found out she was an illegal.

I'm sure having to fire her created conflict for Whitman, she obviously must have liked the woman or she wouldn't have kept her 9 years and paid her that much. However, she knew she had to do it because of being in politics.

Allred (a Jerry Brown campaign contributor) and the housekeeper have produced a copy of a letter from the Social Security Admin. back in '03 telling Whitman that the social security number she had submitted payroll taxes for did not match the name. (Did you get that: Whitman was witholding taxes from this woman's pay, not paying her under the table!) Of course they're claiming Whitman knew all these years. Whitman says she never about anything of the sort. Having seen Whitman's denial, and considering the above mentioned withholding of taxes, and her offer to take a lie detector test; I have to believe Whitman.

It's another political hatchet job. This one just might backfire on Allred and the Dems. Latino voters may take note of the wages Whitman was paying and figure she must be a pretty decent human being, worth their vote.

Stand up for Right,
Dumb Farmer
