Wealth, income and jobs are created in the private sector mainly by small to medium size businesses.
When you increase the taxes on the top 2% of the taxpayers who already pay over 50% of all Federal income taxes, you are mainly taxing business that create the most jobs.
The result is that businesses will cut jobs and capital investment spending to pay for these additional taxes.
President Obama proposes a new tax on carbon in the middle of a recession based on the climate change crisis.
This will increase the cost of electricity, heating and transportation for all individuals and businesses as well as the prices of goods and services.
Businesses will largely pass these tax increases to their customers, the American people.
President Obama’s proposals will only prolong the recession and result in higher unemployment rates exceeding 10% or over 15 million people.
Furthermore, climate is always changing and is not man-made.
The primary drivers or causes of climate change are variable solar activity, cosmic rays, clouds, water vapor, volcanoes, and many more.
Man is not the primary driver or cause of climate change and at best man’s impact on climate is so small as to be immaterial.
Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant and any attempt to control it is both arrogant and stupid for it is not possible.
The big lie that man-made global warming must be stopped by controlling and taxing carbon dioxide emissions is a radical socialist con-game and fraud.
Do not fall for the greed, arrogance, and stupidity of the political class of both parties that want to tax your use of energy for electricity, heating and transportation.
In the name of saving the planet, they will wreck the US economy and destroy jobs.
The Progressive Liberal Fascists want to take more money from your wallet in the form of a carbon tax or cap and trade tax.
The carbon tax or cap and trade tax will reduce consumer spending and job creation and preservation.
Thanks but not thanks, just say no!
If you value your life do not depend on government health care or socialized medicine.
Socialists always start killing those who are least able to defend themselves–children, disabled and the old.
First, abort as many children as possible.
Second wait out the old and disabled by putting them on a long waiting list for needed medical treatment, procedures and operations.
The radical socialist language put into the stimulus bill is a massive invasion of the privacy of your medical records and what treatment you can receive from your doctor.
This is the face and tactics of progressive liberal fascism.
Senator Specter with Megyn Kelly discussing Stimulus 2.10.09
Socialized Medicine In Stimulus Package
Obama approves of Gestapo medical records round-up to sort out undesirables.
President Obama wants every one to go back to school and more money for education from k-12 and college.
Yet, President Obama opposes parents having the choice to where their children go to school.
President Obama would not send parents a voucher or check every year that they can use to pay the tuition at the school of their choice.
The American people pay their local property taxes but must send their children to government schools, so-called public schools, many of which are terrible.
Yet, American government education from k-12 grades declines every year compared with other countries.
More money for government schools is not the solution–more competition and freedom to choose is.
Let the American people decide where they send their children to school.
If government schools are so great, why Mr. President have you not sent your children there?
Public Education – Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights
The Federal Government is broke.
Yet, President Obama wants the Federal Government to tax you more so your taxes can pay for new and bigger government programs.
The American people are taxed out and many are unemployed.
Yet, President Obama proposes a new tax on carbon or a cap and trade tax as well as higher taxes on businesses and individuals who earn over $250,000.
President Obama is an excellent speaker and glibe as he tells bold face lies.
The reason businesses go overseas is the US has the highest taxes on business.
The US tax system and rates are no longer competitive with the rest of the world.
The rich create wealth, income and jobs.
They do not take wealth from the poor.

The 2003 tax cut was the second in three years, and although tax rates are lower, the federal income tax still remains highly progressive. The average tax rate in 2006 ranges from 3.0 percent of income for the bottom half of tax returns to 22.8 percent for the top 1 percent.Table 1

U.S. stimulus bill pushes e-health records for all
”…What didn’t come up during the president’s first press conference was how one section of the convoluted legislation–it’s approximately 800 pages total–is intended to radically reshape the nation’s medical system by having the government establish computerized medical records that would follow each American from birth to death.
Billions will be handed to companies creating these databases. Billions will be handed to universities to incorporate patient databases “into the initial and ongoing training of health professionals.” There’s a mention of future “smart card functionality.”
Yet nowhere in this 140-page portion of the legislation does the government anticipate that some Americans may not want their medical histories electronically stored, shared, and searchable. Although a single paragraph promises that data-sharing will “be voluntary,” there’s no obvious way to opt out.
“Without those protections, Americans’ electronic health records could be shared–without their consent–with over 600,000 covered entities through the forthcoming nationally linked electronic health records network,” said Sue Blevins, president of the Institute for Health Freedom, a nonprofit group that advocates health care privacy. …”

Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan
February 9, 2009
by Betsy McCaughey
“…Senators should read these provisions and vote against them because they are dangerous to your health. (Page numbers refer to H.R. 1 EH, pdf version).
The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States” (445, 454, 479). Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system. Having electronic medical records at your fingertips, easily transferred to a hospital, is beneficial. It will help avoid duplicate tests and errors.
But the bill goes further. One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions (442, 446). These provisions in the stimulus bill are virtually identical to what Daschle prescribed in his 2008 book, “Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis.” According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and “learn to operate less like solo practitioners.”
Keeping doctors informed of the newest medical findings is important, but enforcing uniformity goes too far. …”
“…Daschle says health-care reform “will not be pain free.” Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will bear the brunt.
Medicare now pays for treatments deemed safe and effective. The stimulus bill would change that and apply a cost- effectiveness standard set by the Federal Council (464). …”

Barack Obama, Sr.
“…Barack Hussein Obama (1936 − 24 November 1982) was a Kenyan senior governmental economist, and father of US President Barack Obama. He is a central subject in his son’s memoir, Dreams from My Father.
“…Barack Obama Sr. was born in Kanyadhiang village, Rachuonyo District[1] on the shores of Lake Victoria just outside Kendu Bay, Kenya, at the time a colony of the British Empire, and raised in the village of Nyang’oma Kogelo, Siaya District, Nyanza Province.[9] His family are members of the Luo ethnic group. He was the son of Onyango Obama (c. 1895-1979) who had at least three wives; Barack Obama Sr. was the son of Akumu Habiba, the second wife. However, he was raised by Onyango’s third wife, Sarah, after Akumu left her family and separated from her husband in 1945.[3][10] Before working as a cook for missionaries in Nairobi, Onyango had travelled widely, enlisting in the British colonial forces and visiting Europe, India, and Zanzibar, where he converted from Roman Catholicism to Islam and took the name Hussein Onyango Obama. Although Obama Sr. was born into a Muslim family, he was an atheist before he came to the United States.[4] Obama Sr. was married in 1954 at the age of eighteen, in a tribal ceremony to Kezia, with whom he had four children. …”
“…At the age of 23, Obama Sr. enrolled at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, leaving behind a pregnant Kezia and their infant son. He had turned away from Islam and become an atheist by the time he moved to the United States.[4] On 2 February 1961, Obama Sr. married fellow student Ann Dunham in Maui, Hawaii[14] though she would not find out that her new husband was already married until much later.[15] Obama Sr.’s and Dunham’s son, Barack Obama II, was born on August 4, 1961. Dunham left school to care for the baby, while Obama Sr. completed his degree. He graduated from the University of Hawaii in June 1962 (and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa[16]), leaving shortly thereafter to travel to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he would begin graduate study at Harvard University in the fall.[15] Later that summer, Dunham and the year-old baby Barack stopped to visit her friends in Mercer Island, Washington, the Seattle suburb where she had grown up,[15][17][18] before joining Obama Sr. in Cambridge. However, mother and son soon returned to Seattle, where she enrolled at the University of Washington.[17][15] Dunham, missing her family, then moved back to Hawaii[17] and filed for divorce in Honolulu in January 1964. Obama Sr. did not contest, and the divorce was granted.[14] He visited his son only once, in 1971, when Barack was 10 years old.[15]
While at Harvard, Obama Sr. met an American-born teacher named Ruth Nidesand. She followed him to Kenya when he returned there after he received a master’s degree (AM) in economics from Harvard in 1965.[19] Nidesand eventually became his third wife and had two children with him before they divorced.[20]
Return to Kenya
On his return to Kenya, Obama Sr. was hired by an oil company and then served as an economist in the Ministry of Transport, and later became senior economist in the Kenyan Ministry of Finance.[21] In 1965 Obama Sr. wrote a paper titled “Problems Facing Our Socialism,” published in the East Africa Journal, harshly criticizing the blueprint for national planning, “African Socialism and Its Applicability to Planning in Kenya”, which had been produced by Tom Mboya’s Ministry of Economic Planning and Development.[22] As his son describes in his memoir, Obama Sr.’s conflict with President Kenyatta destroyed his career.[citation needed]
Obama Sr.’s life then took a tailspin into drinking and poverty, from which he never recovered. His friend, Kenyan journalist Philip Ochieng, has described Obama Sr.’s difficult personality and drinking problems in the Kenya newspaper The Daily Nation.[12] Obama Sr. lost both legs in an automobile collision, and subsequently lost his job. He died in 1982, at the age of 46, in a car crash in Nairobi.[12]
Obama Sr. is buried in at the village of Nyang’oma Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya. His funeral was attended by ministers Robert Ouko, Oloo Aringo and other prominent political figures.[1] …”

Problems Facing Our Socialism
“…Omwami says he would instead refer to the elder Obama as “a liberal person who believed in market forces but understood its limitations.” Sessional Paper No. 10 centered on the new control of Kenya’s resources, promoting a form of trickle-down economics in which financial aid would be consolidated in more populated areas with the hope that positive effects would eventually be felt by smaller villages.
Obama senior argued against this notion, and Omwami suggests history has proven him correct since most, if not all, small communities in Kenya have yet to benefit from monies that poured into larger cities since the nation’s independence four decades ago.
The elder Obama also looked ahead to what has become a shaping force across Africa — urbanization — arguing that the government’s efforts to lure citizens back to the land were futile.
“If these people come out in search of work, it is because they cannot make a living out of whatever land they have had,” he wrote.
In retrospect, it was one of several warnings in the paper that would prove true.
“If you understand the Kenyan context, you can clearly see in that paper that Obama senior was quite a sharp mind,” Omwami concluded. “He addresses economic growth and other areas of development, and his critique is that policymakers in Kenya were overemphasizing economic growth.
“We had high economic growth for years but never solved the problems of poverty, unemployment and unequal income distribution. And those problems are still there.”
Obama senior’s projections and critiques are so spot on, says Omwami, that he plans to assign the paper to his classes in the future.
