More Gun Control Legislation - From the Republican Side of the Aisle!

So you think you understand the two-party system? Democrats are for entitlement programs and Republicans are for Right to Bear Arms, Strong Military, etc. But wait! Don't forget, the Republican Party has been absolutely indundated with RINOs! Case in point: U.S. Rep. Peter King (R-NY) is proposing gun control legislation. Read about it here. Sounds reasonable enough right? It's labeled as keeping guns out of the hands of terrorists. Problem is there's no criteria, other than a big government politician's ruling (in this case Eric Holder) on who's a "suspected terrorist"! Wasn't just a month ago that during the tea parties that we were all labeled right-wing extremists by the Department of Homeland Security? There's a problem here.

Hey Washington, Pay Attention! Maryland's Millionaire Tax a Failure

The millionaire tax idea has already been tried and it failed miserably. Read it here.

This is exactly why we don't need the federal government dictating everything that must be done (or not done) by the states. The laboratory whereby we can learn from the successes and losses of others is built into our U.S. Constitution. Now that the federal government is going to lay an even heavier tax on the "richest 5%" we will get to witness Marylands failure on a nationwide level. So what happens when the "richest 5%" are no longer playing along with their game? The burden shifts downward; and when the next 5% stops - you guessed it - shifts downward even more. Meanwhile the burden for all the entitlement potentially becomes greater and greater as people from the top rungs of the ladder move themselves into position to receive benefits rather than pay for them.

What's Going on With the Tea Party Movement?

Since this is a grassroots movement and not an organized campaign there is no single repository for Tea Party information. There are several good websites that should be explored:

Free Cars for Welfare Recipients! Really.

If you've seen the commercial for the free cellphones for people on food stamps; we've now topped that.

Massachusetts has increased funding for a program intended to provide free cars for welfare recipients so they can get to work.

But wait there's more! If you're on welfare in Massachusetts, you can also get free insurance! We'd hate for you to have to buy your own insurance instead of having fun with that new paycheck.

But wait there's even more! They'll also throw in free car repairs and free AAA membership!!!!!

So hurry. Don't delay! All you welfare recipients move to Massachusetts today!

Read it here folks.
