Let’s see:
- The nation is in a depression (no matter what anyone says);
- The housing market by itself tanked the entire economy;
- This consisted of loans offered by greedy banks;
- And loans signed off by stupid borrowers;
- Gas is over $4 per gallon for diesel; soon to be $4 per gallon for gasoline;
- Food prices are spiraling;
Wait! Perfect timing! If you’re a Demorat you’re thinking:
Sounds like an exquisite time to raise taxes on every level because, clearly, consumers and the American electorate aren’t paying nearly enough money to government!”
Another wonderful thought in Fornicalia:
To fight global warming, a bill in Sacramento would enable Los Angeles County transit officials to increase taxes on motorists. It’s a bad idea that may foreshadow even worse to come.
Billed as a “climate change mitigation and adaptation fee,” the measure would cost motorists either an additional 3 percent motor fuel tax, or up to a $90 annual flat fee, based on vehicle emissions. The new charges would be on top of taxes already paid at the pump. Either option requires a majority approval by a vote of the people.
My thought to politicians: let’s strangle the American taxpayer even more, during the worst possible economical time.
My thought to Fornicalia denizens: if you support this or any other stupid fucking tax, you need to be shot. Right in your clearly under-utilized head.
Note to those who think you pay insufficient taxes (Warren Buffett included, you moron): nothing stops you from pulling out the ol’ checkbook and cutting any number of rectangular pieces of paper to the US Government.
The Demorats will not be happy until they have completely tanked the economy and emptied every last coin from your wallet.
Every last damned one.
And when that Demorat wins this November? Prepare to get bent over and, no, they won’t be using Vaseline.

The demorats haven’t made any secret of the fact that they are chomping at the bit to raise taxes (and repeal the tax cuts that “only benefit the rich”). That crap pisses me off to no end. We have enough handouts in place for the lazy; we don’t need more.
JJ: oh, you are so incredibly correct. I can the foam forming on their mouths at this moment. They CANNOT WAIT.

And what are we to do? We are stuck between hell and highwater. What is the answer? We have no choice but take it I guess. Politicians don’t listen, president don’ listen. Just Damn.
I’m beginning to think it won’t really matter much who wins this election, BZ! I second every comment here!
Your fuel costs could get a lot higher as there was a bill signed that blocks importation of oil from the Alberta tar sands due to greenhouse friggen gases, or something. Guess there seems to be a preference on importing it from the head choppers…. not sure what that has to do with energy independence, or not funding terrorists.

Democrats have accurately predicted 0 of the last 55 Depressions since 1946.
They are hoping that ‘stopped clock syndrome’ will let them be right one of these days… I’m sure they will be joining the Millerites waiting for the end of days and predicting it each and every day.
Meanwhile the housing market appears to be picking up, the oceans are cooling, China has most of their economy built on bad debt, Iran’s petro infrastructure is about to go under, the Red Mafia is looking to grab part of Iran’s infrastructure for oil and gas, and there is a lovely mold hitting the wheat crops in Africa and the Middle East and appears to spread quickly.
Not that the Republicans want to pay attention to any of that, either… both parties are Stuck on Stupid and flooring it… just like in Neutral… they hope to get there so much faster by repeating the same old stuff and pressing it harder. They are cranking it to 11, but the system is unplugged.
In 1984 Big Brother would cut rations and get the people to be grateful for it. The Donks are learning lessons that need to be learned. They want us to be grateful for raising our taxes.
BZ, Ditto.. This is very troubling and no one is paying attention to it. Instead the majority of libs are further left, as you, me and all the ‘usual suspects’ said many years go. So a couple of marxists’ heading their party this election doesn’t shock me. The same goes for the liberal leading our party.
I read on Rush’s page today that he thinks it looks like an 80% chance the libs will get more seats in the senate and there are enough RHINO’s along side of them that it won’t matter who gets the presidency… Nothing will get done unless the Marxists and Rhino’s want it. We all know what that means.
Hold on to your hats cuz the libs are going to take over. It is their time and it doesn’t matter if McCain wins, he is still pretty much a lib anyway.
But…. But…. But massah Bush bes done said we ain’t in no recession, shore nuff massah Bush ain’y no lying hound dog politician after all, lawzy God, say it ain’t so massah BZ, say it ain’t so…
I is afeard, Mr. Texas, dat de ol’ folks at home is in fer some frightful taxes, yassuh, bes’ put yer money under da mattress, bes’ do dat rat now, yassuh, da Dems is comin’, da Dems is comin’!
