Lame Duck Agenda

Look at Congress
Don't look to Washington for any help! All they can do is muddle things up. This is just another reason why you cannot count on the government and why they should stay out of your life.

The Progressive Democrats in Congress want to halt the so-called "Bush tax cuts". The DEMs are especially interested in the estate tax. They want as much of whatever you leave in your estate. They want tax laws to expire so they can literally STEAL your money after you die.

Congressman Keith Ellison (D, MN) says that the Democrats must create a real crisis to force the GOP on the Bush tax cuts. What he wants is to let the tax laws expire and all Americans receive higher taxes. In addition, Ellision says that the Democrats are "giving away trillions of dollars" by not taxing estates at a higher rate (the death tax).

First, why is it that the DEMs like Ellison actually think that it's THEIR money to begin with? While accumulating wealth and security in a lifetime, Americans pay taxes. The money that you earn after taxes belongs to you - NOT THE GOVERNMENT! Someone please tell this to Ellison.

Second, the death tax is totally unfair. When You die, the DEMs want to take whatever you have acquired in personal wealth to help feed their spending urges! The deceased have already paid taxes on their estate and the DEMs want to grab up to 50% more of your estate (property and other holdings) so they can make the dead pay their fair share. REALLY?

These attitudes are what got us in serious debt troubles to begin with and they are only making things worse. Let's distribute the wealth. Go Screw!

Lame Ducks Suck
Gee, in the "Real World" when someone gets fired, they are escorted out of the office before they can do any damage to the company. However, in government, we allow the clowns we just fired to stay several more months so they can screw-up the country even more than they have before the election. This doesn't make any sense.

The Lame Ducks have nothing to loose and they are just getting even for you throwing them out of office. They should loose their powers immediately after the election!
