			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child. Consummating the marriage by 9.</p>
<p>The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.</p>
<p>Even though a woman is abused she can not obtain a divorce.</p>
<p>To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.</p>
<p>Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family. Husbands can beat their wives &#8216;at will&#8217; and he does not have to say why he has beaten her.</p>
<p>The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.</p>
<p>The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.</p>
<p>In the West World ( America ) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law so the wife can not obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her.. It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah law.</p>
<p>By passing this on, enlightened American women may avoid becoming a slave under Shariah Law .</p>
<p>Cruel and Usual Punishment is her latest book just released in most bookstores.</p>

<p>Ripping the West in Two.</p>
<p>Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Shariah law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two.</p>
<p>She recently authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law.</p>
<p>Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egypt and Gaza before immigrating to America in 1978, when she was eight years old, her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel . He was a high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza .</p>
<p>When he died, he was considered a &#8220;shahid,&#8221; a martyr for jihad. His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society.</p>
<p>But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television.</p>
<p>In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping sharia law &#8211; what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.</p>
<p>For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed.<br />
Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the dignity of each individual, Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that non-Muslims should be subjugated or killed in this world. Peace and prosperity for one&#8217;s children is not as important as assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the world.</p>
<p>While Westerners tend to think that all religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two systems of ethics &#8211; one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims. Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others.</p>
<p>While Westerners tend to think in terms of religious people developing a personal understanding of and relationship with God, Sharia advocates executing people who ask difficult questions that could be interpreted as criticism. It&#8217;s hard to imagine, that in this day and age, Islamic scholars agree that those who criticize Islam or choose to stop being Muslim should be executed. Sadly, while talk of an Islamic reformation is common and even assumed by many in the West, such murmurings in the Middle East are silenced through intimidation.</p>
<p>While Westerners are accustomed to an increase in religious tolerance over time, Darwish explains how petrodollars are being used to grow an extremely intolerant form of political Islam in her native Egypt and elsewhere.</p>
<p>In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President by themselves ! I think everyone in the U..S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!</p>
<p>This is your chance to make a difference&#8230;!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you work AND pay taxes, National Socialized Health Care, or &#8220;Gubment Healf Carr&#8221; will cost you SIX times as much as it does now, or your benefits will be reduced &#8211; to be &#8220;spread around&#8221; to all those who pay NO taxes.</p>
<p>The Progressive Socialists are claiming that 50 million Americans are uninsured.<br />
First of all, since when do politicians NOT lie?<br />
That should make us at least question that &#8220;50&#8243; million figure.<br />
During the 2008 campaign we were told there were “30-40 million uninsured or underinsured”.<br />
They quietly dropped the “underinsured” from this.<br />
Is &#8220;under-insured&#8221; akin to &#8220;under-automobiled&#8221;?<br />
If you have a better car than one of the Obamites, do you have to &#8220;fund&#8221; their new car?<br />
Is &#8220;under-insured&#8221; akin to &#8220;under-homed&#8221;?<br />
If you have a better home than one of the Obamites, do you have to &#8220;fund&#8221; their new home?<br />
And, they have been steadily increasing the numbers!<br />
It started at 20 million, then 30-35 million, then 30-40 million, then 40-45 million, then 40-50 million.<br />
Now they just flat-out say, “there are 50 million UNINSURED” in this country.<br />
Do you think politicians LIE to get what they want? To make their point?<br />
Case in point, do you know they include Oprah, Trump, and Bill Gates in their list of “uninsured”?<br />
Those people don’t BUY an insurance policy.<br />
What good is $1,000,000 insurance coverage to a BILLIONAIRE?<br />
Well, if they don’t BUY an insurance policy, they MUST be UNINSURED!<br />
Also, would you doubt they count dead people in their list of “uninsured”.<br />
They’re sending them stimulus checks, so they’re on their list somewhere!<br />
And of course, DEAD PEOPLE DON’T BUY INSURANCE.<br />
Dead people do not have an insurance policy.<br />
Q.E.D. (therefore) dead people are “uninsured”!<br />
Arent these the same people that registered 400,000 illegal voters in 2008?<br />
How many tens of thousands of “Mickey Mouses” do they have listed as “uninsured”.<br />
But, for the sake of argument, just to shut them the hell up, let&#8217;s take their ultra- high number of 50 million.</p>
<p>First, National Socialized Health Care would cover 11 to 12 million ILLEGAL ALIENS!<br />
Are you willing to pay for illegal aliens?<br />
They claim that we are paying for the illegals health care anyway.<br />
If illegals go to the emergency room and we get stuck paying the bill, that’s one thing.<br />
But if they think we’re going to pay their monthly premiums, think again!<br />
Patch them up in the emergency room, then DEPORT THEM!<br />
Have they done a study to show how this cost would REDUCE over time if we secured our borders and started enforcing immigration laws to DEPORT these criminals (yes, illegal aliens have violated our laws as soon as they crawled under (or over) the border fence. This makes them CRIMINALS.).<br />
Are you willing to reduce YOUR coverage so that illegals can have the same coverage as you?<br />
Are you willing to pay 6 times as much for health insurance to cover illegals?<br />
No.<br />
There is an easy way around this “cost” anyway.<br />
We, the United States, GIVES money to just about every country in the world.<br />
Most of these illegals are coming from Mexico, and Mexico gets a ton of money from the US – either directly or distributed to them from the UN (which we give money to!).<br />
So, for each illegal that we get stuck paying their emergency room visit, we can, after deporting them, deduct that cost from the money we GIVE to their country.<br />
We can even deduct the cost of deporting that illegal alien.<br />
And if we do not give Mexico enough “aid” to deduct these costs from, then we will deduct the costs from what we owe them for the cars they are selling to us.<br />
Remove the 11 to 12 million illegals from the &#8220;50 million&#8221; total, takes us to less than 40 million.</p>
<p>Over half of those 40 million are single people under the age of 35 with full-time jobs.<br />
In other words, they CAN pay for their own insurance.<br />
How about we spend a few million dollars educating these “young people” on being more responsible for themselves rather than sticking ME with another trillion dollar debt to pay for something they CAN pay for themselves?<br />
Remove these 20 million single people from the 40 million takes us to less than 20 million.</p>
<p>Over half of those 20 million are married people making over $50,000 per year.<br />
Though not wealthy, with proper budgeting these people CAN pay for their own insurance.<br />
How about we spend a few million dollars educating these “married people” on being more responsible for themselves rather than sticking ME with another trillion dollar debt to pay for something they CAN pay for themselves?<br />
These people will have to be taught that it is more adult, more responsible, to buy health care coverage rather than a set of mag wheels for their 2004 Honda Civic. They will have to cut down on their float trips this year and BUY THEIR OWN INSURANCE!<br />
Remove these 10 million married people from the 20 million takes us to less than 10 million.</p>
<p>So in reality, there are less than 10 million people who do not have insurance, need insurance, but cannot afford insurance.<br />
And since we fudged EVERYTHING on the high side, this “10 million” figure is on the high side too.<br />
Ironically, there are so few of these people (relatively speaking) that the liberal elitists like Oprah, Soros, etc, could EASILY pay their insurance premiums for them.<br />
Oprah would just have to “survive” on $500 million for the rest of her life.</p>
<p>And, it gest WORSE!<br />
One of the arguments for Nationalizing health care is to remove the burden from the backs of corporate America (since when do liberal Democrats care about corporate America??).<br />
If they were speaking to a union group, they would be telling them to go after these companies.<br />
They would be telling them that the companies they work for are stealing from them and the CEOs are making millions off of their labor, and they should demand more pay and better benefits!<br />
But to try to sell this garbage to us, the Progressive Socialists are trying to convince us that we need to “lift this burden” from the backs of the corporations.<br />
To which I have to ask, “and put the burden on who??? Me?? The TAXPAYER??”.<br />
For most of us, we pay half of our health care benefits and our employer pays the other half.<br />
If Obama removes this &#8220;burden&#8221; from the corporations, the BURDEN falls squarely on OUR shoulders.<br />
So you and I go from paying half to paying ALL of the health care.</p>
<p>And it gets WORSE!<br />
For every dollar duh gubment spends it has to collect $3 in taxes to cover their beauracry and corruption.<br />
So not only are you and I going to pay for the &#8220;health care&#8221; but we are going to fund the most beauracratic and corrupt organizaton since the Roman Senate to manage the whole thing.</p>
<p>And it gest WORSE!<br />
HALF THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY DON&#8217;T PAY ANY (ANY! ANY! ANY!) TAXES!!</p>
<p>I try to NOT file claims against my insurance company to keep my premiums down.<br />
If my health care costs me “nothing”, then whats to stop me from going to the doctor EVERY DAY?<br />
How do the Progressive Socialists plan to keep costs down if EVERYBODY can go to the “doctor” ANYTIME they want for ANY REASON WHATSOEVER??</p>
<p>The Progressive Socialists are saying that 85-90% of us can keep our health care providers.<br />
If 90% of this “system” isn’t going to change, and we are going to spend $1 trillion on the other 10%, AND, go another $1 trillion more into debt for that 10%, then how the hell are we going to “reduce” our health care costs?<br />
I see my costs staying the same (because I choose to stand with my current provider), but, now I get to pay $1 trillion for the Progressive Socialists, PLUS, another $1 trillion in more debt.<br />
The net effect is this is going to cost me MORE.</p>
<p>If Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are any indicators, do you really want the government dictating your health care decisions?</p>
<p>So, for every 1 person in that “10 million” who needs insurance but cannot afford insurance, we will also have to buy insurance for:<br />
One illegal alien.<br />
Two single people, under 35, with full-time jobs.<br />
One married person making over $50,000 a year.<br />
Oprah, Trump, Gates, and the rest of the ultra-rich.<br />
YOUR employer&#8217;s half of the bill.<br />
Half the country&#8217;s population that doesnt pay ANY taxes.<br />
THREE times as much as what duh gubment will actually pay out ($3 in taxes, $1 paid out).<br />
And, you STILL have to pay for your own health care.<br />
So tell me again how YOU are going to benefit from Progressive National Socialist (ProNAZI) Health Care?</p>
<p>The saddest thing about this whole phony crisis, is that there truly are a “few” million people in this country that do not have health care, need health care, and cannot afford health care.<br />
WE, want to help these people.<br />
But because of politics and LIES, they probably wont get any help.<br />
WE don’t have a problem helping 5 million people.<br />
But when the Progressive Socialists bloat this number to 50 million, and want to take over ALL of our health care just to line their pockets and control $1 trillion of our money, we say NO.<br />
This is similar to when your local government says they want to raise sales taxes to help the fire and police departments.<br />
But then we find out that all that money will go to “general revenues” to be spent ANY WAY the politicians want to spend it.<br />
So we vote it down.<br />
And, of course, the police and fire departments suffer because of this.<br />
The taxes for Progressive National Socialists Health Care will also go to “general revenues” (just like your Social Security taxes do). And this money is spent, wasted, lost, and “misappropriated” anyway the corrupt politicians want to spend it.</p>
<p>The White House has even threatened members of their own Democratic party if they even talked to Republicans or Independents about this legislation.<br />
Their orders are to put the bill together, pass it, and fund it &#8211; NO DISCUSSIONS!<br />
The White House is telling us that we do not have time to debate this.<br />
Obama says it is urgent that Congress give him over $600 billion IMMEDIATELY!<br />
And, commit our nation to another $1 trillion in MORE DEBT.<br />
Failure to act quickly would doom us all to &#8220;health care hell&#8221;.<br />
Didn&#8217;t we hear that same lie for the $787 billion stimulus bill (that no one read)??<br />
Obama HAD to have all that money, no questions asked, &#8230;.or else!<br />
“PANIC PANIC PANIC! Don’t talk about, just pass it and give me the money”.<br />
Obama promised unemployment would not go above 8% if he just had another $787 billion.<br />
Well, he got his $787 billion, and we lost another 1.6 million jobs.<br />
He had to have that money IMMEDIATELY, NO DEBATE.<br />
DON’T READ THE BILL. JUST PASS IT. NOW!!<br />
And now, 5 months later, 95% of that money remains UNSPENT!<br />
Just like a thief – take ALL the money now, spend it later, at your leisure.<br />
Unemployment now stands at 9.4% with no end in sight.<br />
And Obama&#8217;s barking dog, Joe Biden, says &#8220;we all guessed wrong&#8221;.<br />
Not quite Joey. YOU guys guessed wrong.<br />
100% of the Republicans and over 60% of Americans were RIGHT!<br />
Obama promised that $787 billion was for &#8220;shovel-ready&#8221; projects.<br />
Now we see the only thing being shoveled is our money into the pockets of Mr Obama&#8217;s supporters and shoveling his BS trying to cover up their lies and failures.</p>
<p>In Obama’s first “show” on Health Care, he had a young couple that was stuck with a huge medical bill, and the couple’s neighbors were having a fundraiser to collect pennies to help pay their bills. It was discovered that it took the Obama administration over a MONTH to find the right “poor” people that Obama could put center stage during his “dog &amp; pony” show trying to scare us to get in line – or else.</p>
<p>WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT THIS??:</p>
<p>Max Baucus is a Senator from Montana. Max represents more cows than people.<br />
But, Max is in charge of this &#8220;gubment healf carr&#8221;.</p>
<p>Call Senator Max Baucus offices and let him know how you feel about this.<br />
202-224-2651<br />
202-224-3121</p>
<p>Tell Max:<br />
NO to National Socialism Health Care<br />
NO to his strong arm tactics to exclude Republicans and Independents.<br />
YES to fix Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security FIRST.</p>
<p>Chrysler and GM both went bankrupt even after assurances from duh gubment that $100 billion of our tax dollars would prevent that from happening.<br />
They lied.<br />
Both companies are now bankrupt and we will never see that $100 billion again.<br />
So much for “closing corporate loopholes”.</p>
<p>This is NOT about &#8220;Health Care&#8221;.<br />
This is about POWER.<br />
Middle class Americans make over $10 TRILLION a year. (“rich” Americans make less than $2 trillion).<br />
We are the richest body of people in the world and EVERYONE wants to get into our pockets.<br />
Whoever controls the money of middle-class America, controls America.<br />
And to a greater extent, the rest of the world.<br />
Obama is simply a thief – of a different color.</p>
<p>End the TYRANNY!<br />
Call Senator Max Baucus offices and let him know how you feel about this.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wanted to be the first to say, so later I can say “I told you so”, that Obama will soon take over the airline industry so he can force us all to take the trains.</p>
<p>“Never let a good crisis go to waste”, is a favorite line coming out of the Obama cabinet (Dancing with the Czars), even if you have to fabricate one.</p>
<p>Swine flu is nothing new, but it’s the first time its come up since Obama took office.</p>
<p>Nothing special about it. Its another flu bug. People die all the time from the flu.</p>
<p>So far the deaths have been the young and the elderly. Same as usual.</p>
<p>But, never to let a good crisis go to waste, the Obama spinmisters are all over this one.</p>
<p>Carefully balancing themselves in the middle, on one side so as not to create a panic on our streets, but on the other hand, enough to want us to NOT fly, the Obama folks are systematically cornering the airline industry into a bankruptcy net.</p>
<p>Once netted, and begging for a bailout, hundreds of billions more of our tax dollars will be spent to socialize yet another key industry.</p>
<p>But what will Obama do with the airlines?</p>
<p>Control where they fly. When they fly. And how much we pay to fly.</p>
<p>How much do you want to bet it will become much much cheaper for us to take the train from New York to California than it will be to fly.</p>
<p>And forget about Chicago to St Louis, those flights wont exist.</p>
<p>All aboard</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Now what?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Hundreds of thousands of Americans gathered on an historic day last week (April 15, 2009) to protest, not so much “taxation without representation”, but, “taxatation without <em>competent</em> representation”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Despite the “drug-induced” intellectual rantings from the likes of Garofalo, these protests were not about the taxes we’re paying now, or the $8 a week less we <em>might</em> pay if Obama keeps his word (and the track record on that is???), it’s the idea that $800 billion of our tax dollars were pissed away without anyone reading so much as the Table of Contents.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Its about the thousands upon thousands of addition “taxes” that will get passed on to middle-class Americans to pay for Obama’s Green Machine.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Yes, God-awful-hole, the Boston Tea Party was about taxation without representation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">But when those “representatives” are so negligent in their duties as to spend this kind of money for, um, well, let me think, oh yeah, NOBODY KNOWS,<span>  </span>haven’t they accomplished the same thing?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Where was the competent representation when this bill was passed?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Can we stage a “Tea Party” to let Congress know we want them to READ the next bill BEFORE spending our hard-earned TAX dollars?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">So now what?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">We had our Tea Party.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Obama and his propaganda machines (CNN, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, etc) plan to let this whole thing blow over. They will minimize or mock anything that makes news on some other network. And they will simply continue as though nothing happened.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Or will they?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">What if…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">…the federal government decided that something drastic had to be done to assert its authority. So it passes the Intolerable, or Coercive, Acts. These new laws closed commerce in these Tea Party cities until they showed repentence. The laws also provided for increased federal authority in these Tea Party states…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">What if ???</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Sound impossible?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Compare that scenerio to what my 1969 World Book Encyclopedia says happened after the original Boston Tea Party:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">“The British government decided that something drastic had to be done to assert </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">its authority. It passed the Intolerable, or Coercive, Acts in 1774. These new laws </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">closed Boston harbor to commerce until the city showed repentence for its “tea </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">party”. The laws also provided for increased British authority in Massachusetts.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">So now we know what happens next.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">And after this, the story continues.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The First Continental Congress met in September 1774 to defend American rights.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">It denounced many laws passed by parliament as violations of the rights of British colonists.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">It agreed not to import any goods from Britain or Ireland after Dec 1, 1774, and not to export anything to the British Isles after Sept 10, 1775, unless the abuses had been corrected.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The congress only wanted liberty for the colonies.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The movement for full independence from Britain soon began to develop.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Patrick Henry sounded the rallying cry, “I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Fast-forward to 2009 and this could read:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The Third Continental Congress met in September 2009 to defend American rights.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">It denounced many laws passed by the 111<sup>th</sup> Congress as violations of the Constitutional Rights of American citizens.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">It agreed not to accept any bailout monies after Dec 1, 2009, and not to send any federal taxes to Washington DC after Sept 10, 2010, unless the abuses had been corrected.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The congress only wanted liberty for the states.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The movement for full independence from Washington soon began to develop.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The words of Patrick Henry began to be heard again throughout the land, “I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Then came the Restraining Act, the arrest of “colonial” leaders, and the use of military troops against the citizens.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Finally, there came that historic ride from that unassuming young chap, Paul Revere.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">And the rest, as the say, is history.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">I just love it when we learn from history, and our opponents don’t.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who is paying the taxes?<br />
And who will pay the tax increases?</p>
<p>Obama claims he will raise the taxes on people making $250,000 or more.<br />
And somehow this will pay the additional $1.4 trillion in new spending he proposes.</p>
<p>According to the US Census online figures, I found this:<br />
There are approximately 1,086,000 people that reporting earning at least $250,000 per year<br />
These people, one way or another, has 40% of their income going to the federal government and that comes to $100,000 per year each.<br />
If we increase their &#8220;contribution&#8221; by 10% to 44% (10% of 40% = 4%), then these people will now be contributing $110,000 per year. That is an additional $10,000 per year per &#8220;rich white guy&#8221;.</p>
<p>So, 1,086,000 &#8220;rich white guys&#8221; paying an additional $10k per year comes to: $1,086,000,000.<br />
Or, approximately $1 billion.<br />
Even if he doubles the tax increase on them to 20% more, that is still only $2 billion per year.</p>
<p>Now consider this.<br />
There are 100 million middle class Americans who earn, on average, $100,000 per year each.<br />
I know what you&#8217;re thinking, you don&#8217;t make $100k but you consider yourself middle class.<br />
This is an &#8220;average&#8221;. The low end is single people making around $40-50k per year. The high end is up to, but not including, $250k per year.</p>
<p>Now, this group pays, on average (hook or crook) about 30% to the feds.<br />
That comes to about $30,000 per person.<br />
If Obama increases their &#8220;contribution&#8221; by 10% to 33% (10% of 30% = 3%), then these people will now be contributing (patriotically, of course) $33,000 per year. That is &#8220;only&#8221; an additional $3,000 per year each.</p>
<p>Now, the liberals look at this and say, &#8220;those rich <a href="mailto:b@$tards">b@$tards</a> are now paying $10,000 more per year (or $20k). They&#8217;re finally paying their &#8220;fair share&#8221;.&#8221;<br />
They won&#8217;t mention the extra $3000 per year all of us are paying.<br />
And if that fact is brought up, they dismiss it as a &#8220;small contribution&#8221; to help the overall economy. Or as Biden put it, &#8220;patriotic&#8221; contribution.</p>
<p>But, let&#8217;s look at how this &#8220;small&#8221; contribution adds up:<br />
100 million middle-class Americans each &#8220;contributing&#8221; another $3000 per year comes to $300,000,000,000 per year!  Yes, that&#8217;s $300 BILLION per year.</p>
<p>NOTE: consider this: if you took ALL of the money from 1,000,000 people making $250k per year, you would net $250 BILLION. So you wiped out the entire upper class and didn&#8217;t even get as much money as all those &#8220;small&#8221; contributions added together.</p>
<p>Obama is planning to give away, er &#8211; I mean &#8220;spend&#8221; an additional $1.4 TRILLION.<br />
$300 billion per year (extra $3k per year from you and me) for 4 years comes to  $1.2 TRILLION !</p>
<p>Even with the extra $8 billion ($2 billion per year for 4 years) from all the &#8220;rich white guys&#8221;, this is still only $1.208 trillion. Not enough Swami Obami.</p>
<p>And finally, $1.4 trillion is ONLY what he has promised to give away here.<br />
He still has &#8220;promissary notes&#8221; out to the UN and most of Africa totalling almost another $2 trillion.<br />
I guess he&#8217;s already planning for the 2nd term&#8230;&#8230;<br />
40% of $250k on 1 million people = $100 billion per year.<br />
30% of $100k on 100 million people = $3 TRILLION per year.<br />
2008 Federal budget: almost $3 trillion per year.<br />
Question:  who pays the taxes in this country???<br />
Followup question: who actually CAN pay all the taxes in this country?</p>
