TAX AND TAX AND TAX AND TAX

 The full on rush towards communism is here at hyper speed.

Soon no transaction will escape the federal government and every transaction will be taxed and over taxed
I received a notice from Etsy regarding the new tax laws. I will not comply so my Etsy account will be stagnant.
Then I received this a few days ago in case you missed it or didn't receive this notice

"Hi Carey, You're receiving this email because you're offering shipping on listings that you've chosen to list in the miscellaneous category. Due to new tax restrictions, miscellaneous listings will no longer be eligible for shipping after Dec 31, 2021. If you'd like to continue offering shipping for miscellaneous items, update the listing to a specific category by Dec 31, 2021. If you no longer wish to offer shipping on these items, no action is needed and your listing will default to local pickup after Dec 31. Thanks, The Facebook Marketplace Team"

Biden just another useful patsy for the new world order

Tax Dollars Being Flushed

 Hey Gang,
Your tax dollars are being flushed - literally.
Recently I stopped at a rest area on Rt. 86 in Chautauqua Lake New York.

Let me tell you... this has to be the most elaborate rest area I have ever been to. It's way over the top.

What's inside of this beautiful structure nicer than a lot of homes? A empty room where pay telephones use to be, a small room for vending machines, another small room with travel brochures and an information desk with more maps and brochures and an attendant to answer questions about tourism or routes. Oh and of course a men's and women's toilet with a family toilet squeezed between.

The outside is equally as nice. Its beautifully landscaped and cared for with a view of the lake that is awesome.  You could actually spend an afternoon here picnicking, its that nice.

I remember years ago most rest areas were sort of park like, a more natural setting, just a parking lot with trees to park under to get some zzzz's. For conveniences there was a hand pump for well water and pit toilets. Yes I do appreciate the more modern flush toilets but come on, are tax dollars really being wisely spent? Wouldn't a plain brick building with toilets get the job done as easily? After all what I am leaving behind is not a prized possession.

I think our taxes are being flushed away.

Gotta GoGo!!
Carey

ps: I need to add... it is scary that just about everywhere you go they are removing pay phones. Even the attendant here at the Chautauqua rest area agreed with me that removing them is dangerous. Suppose you have an emergency and you have no service or your cell phone fails with no one around? Now what?

A look back at an article I wrote from 2006

The House voted to raise the minimum wage to $7.25 per hour in the next 3 years but the Senate rejected it. We can all breathe a sigh of relief.


Before you get upset let me explain it this way.... What are You willing to pay for a burger at your favorite fast food establishment? $3, $4, $5, $6 or more? IF the minimum wage gets raised so will EVERYTHING else!!

Its dumb for me to even have to explain this but minimum wage will never over take the higher paying jobs!

Minimum wage will never be enough to raise a family on which was one of the arguments used to raise it.

Should someone in high school or anyone else for that matter make that much working at an entry level position? Of course not.

The only winner here is the government, higher prices more tax revenue.

If you really want this economy to take off and control inflation lower the wage or keep it as is and let the market dictate whats paid.

By raising the minimum wage all it does is decrease the value of the dollar even more.

As much as I didn't want the minimum wage raised there was other issues attached that also didn't pass which is unfortunate. The others were, a permanent cut in the estate tax and extend tax breaks for business research, college tuition and state sales tax.

The Democrats complained that the Republicans played politics by attaching other bills to the minimum wage raise and should of had a straight up and down vote instead. Though that may be true, the Republicans were still willing to compromise but the Democrats not willing to allow tax breaks defeated the wage hike.

Just remember this when you go to the polls in November.

note: minimum wage was raised in 2007

A message from Terry - 61 years Young

Friends,
 I so much share Terry's pain not only for the financial upheaval and uncertainty in my life but also because Terry is a special friend of mine and I feel deeply for him.


Terry is gifted on so many fronts that I won't even begin to list all that he has done or accomplished. A man with his intelligence should not be in the position he is in. And I know there are MANY of us who feel the same way about our predicament.

As much as I look to Terry from time to time for advice I need to make one correction in his statement below.

He reiterates over and over vote the incumbents out.

I disagree with that statement. There are a few races I know of that the incumbents are not the problem. The problem is the Socialist/Democratic agenda. A return to true Conservative principles is the answer. Why don't people see this?

The Socialist/Democratic agenda has undermined or morals, job base, freedom, interfered with our religion, it has ruined the America we use to know.

How people allow George Soros to fund the legalization of marijuana with a million dollar donation is a travesty. One of the most used tools before any country falls or is taken over by a dictator is liberal drug policies. Drugs dope the youth and masses into puppet slaves that will follow anything as long as they get their fix.

The manipulation of house values just to raise property tax. The class warfare to raise minimum wage to over 7 dollars has hurt small businesses and caused layoffs. The global trade deals which almost all can be traced back to the Clinton Administration. The take over of our houses such as what Euclid, Ohio is doing. I could go on and on. What do all those things have in common? Not one of those listed have the backing of the true Conservative/Tea Party movement. They are all part of the Socialist/Democratic agenda to bring America to her knees to be ruled by a global body.

VOTE OUT or DO NOT VOTE for anyone with a D by their name or any Rhino Republican. If there is no choice other than those two, leave it blank.

Carey Masci
May God Help US.

If you are Fed-Up and Devastated AND have the slightest inkling as to how we are ALL going to get taxed totally out of our comfort zone starting 01JAN11, vote EVERY Incumbent OUT. Send the message.


(If you have little or NO idea what I am talking about above, referring to the new 2011 tax laws, get off YOUR Soap Box, put down the remote, get out of Face Book, climb up out of the Recliner, FIND OUT BEFORE YOU VOTE, THEN vote EVERY Incumbent OUT. Send the message.)


I live in Michigan all my life where the unemployment rate is at an all time Historical HIGH, even over the devastating numbers after the 30’s market crash AND even over those following WWII, when the War Production Employees hit the bricks.


My home is now worth only 78% what it was back in 2005. I bought it in 1987 for $94K. Appraised for my refi’ in ’05 at $204K. After 5 kids weddings, Home Improvements, and one or two nibbles at the American Dream, I now owe 17K over what it is (appraised) worth = $160K !


Remember, I am using the word “WORTH” ! The last home sale here, in JUL, 2010, 4 blocks away, about 98% identical home to ours, Sq Footage, Lot Size, Bells & Whistles, Upgrades, Overall Condition (only actual difference is my bricks are the White/Gray Italian VS their std Brown Rustic tone), wanted $140K - went for $115K after being on the market for 26 MONTHS……. I counted last night on a cruise looking at just a 5 block radius of my house, and there are 21 homes for sale.


We tried one of Obama’s FHA Real Estate/Mortgage Adjustments = DENIED, then the NEW Totally FHA sponsored/backed Refi’ = also DENIED.


GET THIS, without putting it IN WRITING of course. “YOU’RE TOO OLD ! ”
ITS ALL BULL SHIT!






THEN 08SEP10, (along with 40+ other Detroit Metro employees) notified ALL our jobs have been moved to Florida . BUT thank GOD (remember HIM) its still in the states, ay? I am Unemployed as of 08NOV10.


With the above Real Estate Facts staring us in the face, I could NOT afford to MOVE/RELOCATE to South Florida .


My wife of 41 years is semi handicapped. We have 5 kids and 12 Grandkids.


Cost of living within 25 miles of that Florida work location is 8% to 12% higher than here.


Home owners insurance is almost DOUBLE what it is here. THAT doesn’t include the Florida State Mandated Flood Insurance rider either.


Auto Insurance is almost DOUBLE what it is here for the same car in South Florida .


The ONLY upside is GAS there is 4¢ to 6¢ cheaper (IF you drive around and HUNT it down) than up here.




Oh I forgot to mention NO-ONE would be receiving any Cost Of Living RAISE (or ANY pay increase) when relocating.


Yet they keep saying the turn around HAS BEGUN….. WHERE?


So much for MY personal problems. We’re not alone though.


SO vote EVERY Incumbent OUT. PICK AND CHOOSE. Send the message.


Business AS USUAL is OVER.


WE are the NEW Special Interest Group.


WE The People: who live and work, have lived and have worked, (legally) HERE.

PLEASE?
Terry

Just remember if they take ANY of your Constitutional rights away this will just be the start.

Look at any country in history when the citizens lost their right to defend themselves they were made into slaves!

Germany, Italy , Japan , USSR and any other entity! They banned guns in Australia and crime went up 400% in some of their areas.

England has basically banned guns and crime is real bad there too.

KYPD and be sure to vote for a person that will stand up for our CONSTITUTION! ! !

OUR ENTIRE CONSTITUTION !

YouCut - Brilliant Idea!!

This is another reason why we need to stop the government from regulating the internet.  I don't trust them to allow such sites as YouCut to exist.

ANOTHER TAX

ANOTHER TAX, ANOTHER TAX SPEARHEADED BY ANOTHER DEMOCRAT.
AND YET PEOPLE KEEPING VOTING FOR THEM.
CKM

BY DOROTHY PELLETT, FREE PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Taxing, banning, reusing or simply cutting down on their use — all are solutions up for debate as Vermont environmentalists search for the best solution, and the Legislature is poised to consider bag-tax measures in the upcoming session.

A bill before the House Ways and Means Committee would charge consumers 17 cents for each lightweight plastic bag they take home. State Rep. Johannah Leddy Donovan, D-Burlington, was the lead sponsor among 19 legislators on the bill, which was introduced last session.

“The 17-cent amount seemed significant enough to catch the attention of shoppers,” she said this month. “If we are going to change behavior, we must have a tax that is going to be meaningful.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A tax that is meaningful? How about a stupid tax for every dumb idea our legislators come up with their tax rate goes up. That should discourage their communist thinking.

This That and the Other Thing

Down & Up
House values down, all other prices going up! Enough said on that.

Values down but....
Though house values have fallen it states in the new valuation - This may not reflect a savings in tax. Enough said on that also.


Meet interesting people
A friend sent an email with a link to a neighborhood watch map by Family Watchdog. The map shows people with criminal records and sex offenders who are living in your neighborhood. Who was one of the site sponsors? Cupid. Their slogan - meet interesting people. I say so.

No more talking
Dad and I frequently talk politics and all the wrong that is existing. I said dad when I tell you one of the provisions in the immigration reform bill then you will realize there is no reason to try and make sense out of anything, not Euclid, nothing. In the bill is written permanent temporary visas. Thats impossible. Leave it to the Dems to think of that one.

End of recession
Ben Bernanke Chairman of the Federal Reserve said a couple of weeks ago that the worse recession since the 30's is over but that doesn't mean job loss won't continue to rise. Makes as much sense as permanent temporary visas

Poor Chicago
Chicago didnt get the olympics. I guess President Obama didn't make a strong enough pitch that drive by shootings, dodge the bullet and hide the money envelop qualifies the city.

Run and Shoot
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been looking for a player that can run and shoot. They found a player with those credentials in Delonte West. Unfortunately for the Cavs West is doing it off the court and not on.
