Time To Take A Stand

[Brian Degulis]

Here's that latest from our out of control government. They want to tax banks to help replace the TARP funds. This includes banks that have already paid back the money with interest and banks that never took any TARP money. The tax will be permanent it will not go away after TARP is settled. So who do you think will end up paying the tax? If you do business with banks you will.

They also decided to do the 40% tax on the Cadillac Health care insurance plans. I've provided these plans to my employees for around 10 years. Funny I thought I was doing the right thing I thought the goal here was to provide good health insurance to as many as possible. I guess not. There is no way I can continue to provide those plans with a 40% tax. As if that's not bad enough Unions get exempted until 2017 for non union like me it will be immediate. Can anyone explain the fairness in that? Why would you exempt Union workers who typically earn more than non union workers.

This administration is a train wreck. It has absolutely no use for fairness or justice and spits on basic American Ideals. I guess hope change and transparency really meant theft back room deals and favoritism to likely supporters.

MAKE SURE THESE PEOPLE HERE YOU IN NOVEMBER AND AGAIN IN 2012. TRY TO LEARN THE FACTS ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON AND SPREAD THE WORD. MAKE YOUR OPINON KNOWN TO ALL AND MAKE IT CLEAR IT'S NO LONGER ABOUT POLITICS IT'S ABOUT PRESERVING THE AMERICA WE GREW UP IN. WE'RE LOSING IT VERY QUICKLY.

AND FOR ALL YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS TAKE A GOOD LOOK IS THIS REALLY WHAT YOU WANT?

I'm going to continue to post what I learn on this thread. Maybe some others will join in but lets do our best to keep it a factual account of what they're doing or proposing.

I'm starting to do things I've never done before. I hope if you feel the way I do you'll join me and do what you can to see to it that this administration goes down in flames. I've had it have you?

I agree 100%. I, too, have been providing health insurance that pays for everything. We only have a $15 copay on office visits and another small copay on prescriptions. Everything else is paid for. So much for that. This has gone way too far. I fear we will never be able to go back.

everyday, they come up with something that tops what happened the day before.

they are counting on that 40% tax to pay for the healthcare bill... i guess it hasn't occur that nobody is going to keep buying those plans, except unions. so the actual cost of this disaster is going to skyrocket since that revenue isn't going to come in.

Obama and the dems are going to pay an expensive price for all this come november, and they may get a deposit on that on tuesday. While the left wing of the party may support those actions, they need independents to get elected and they can't like what's going on...

now if Obama was spending as much time and was as decisive on our country security and anti terrorism that he his on Haiti... two press conferences/address today. did anyone notice how he called $100M in aid, an "investment"?

Thats why in Massachusetts they are Evan(polls) in the senate run off of Ted (Chappaquiddick) Kennedy 's seat. I am booking a bus to the next tea party and giving free seats to anyone in NJ that wants to go...Cory

One of Obamas cohorts was interviewed on Fox radio yesterday and that question (Union exemptions) was put directly to him, he said NO . all will treated equally. So might be worth checking up, I think the guy was from PA.

Let's see, tax GOOD insurance plans so the only thing the Ins co's can sell are crappy ones, just as bad as what the Govt. is going to offer, Bam! The Public Option trigger. No new taxes on anyone earning less than $250 grand? Hmmmmm, that's another subject.

Never have been a big fan of unions....they may have had their place at one time, but for years have been nothing more than a pox on any industry they touch, from automobiles to education. Now, with this effort, they are lobbying to be a pox on America itself. I've pretty much decided that if the unions get this exemption, that I'm done considering "Buy American" in any purchasing decisions where the manufactures are unionized. For example, where an American car might have gained points for being American made, now, they'll lose points in my sentiment regarding their products rather than gaining that emotional edge that often helped me overlook an otherwise inferior product.

So, the Congress and Senate want to exempt themselves, and the unions want an exemption from taxing their superior plans, but they all think it's a great idea for the rest of us.....what planet does one have to come from to think this is a good idea?

I wish I was registered to vote in MA......
