….and this is goal of the Republican Party. Once in DC, they fight for their own power and money and let the citizens ‘go hang.’ The bigger question is: when will the members of the Stupid Party begin to join the Libertarians to force DC to stop spending….until the complainers about how things run in DC get serious about changing the environment, by supporting neither the Dems or the GOPs but turning to the Libertarians, nothing will change…see 1980-2011.

A lot of people like to talk about how successful the 1987 tax reform was – got rid of many deductions and lowered rates. And it was successful. But there was another lesson that they don’t like to talk about. Remember your deduction for interest paid? And for sales tax paid? All gone. But what happened just 6 years later? Clinton made sure the rates went back up. Did your deductions come back? Don’t be silly – of course not. Always remember this – the dems are always wanting to jack up rates. This applies to Cain’s 999 plan too.

The Republicans are urging the end of deductions for mortgages, charity, and state taxes. Sound sane to you? Deductions never reappear, tax rates just go up.

There isn’t a nickel’s worth of difference between the Dhimmies and GOP,. The GOP is driving us to hell, just more slowly.

Pat Toomey was once the head of the Club for Growth PAC. I can’t understand why he would betray his fiscal conservative principles.

The Repubs intend to drive us off the same economic cliff but with a different driver, and perhaps to approach the edge at a slightly slower rate of speed.
Big whoop.
