THIS BLOG WILL MAKE YOUR HAIR CURL!

I received the following e-mail this weekend and thought it was worthy of passing it on to you. Really scary! This woman wants to take (er, tax)100% of your investment profits and give it to others - namely illegal immigrants! This is worse than communism! It's downright inhumane!

The FairTax would fix these problems. We would no longer be threatened by the likes of this politician or any other politician or lobbyist who wants your money so they can give it to someone else.

This is why it is so important that we vote for politicians who are in favor of the FairTax, both Democrat and Republican. Turn your back and they will take (tax) your money!

Here's the e-mail:
Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall tax all stock
> market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K's and Mutual Funds!
> .... all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other
> unemployed Minorities!
>
>
> This woman is frightening. Take special note of the last paragraph. Is
> she really this whacked out?
>
> Nancy Pelosi condemned the new record highs of the stock market as
> "just another example of Bush policies helping the rich get richer".
> "First Bush cut taxes for the rich and the economy has rebounded with
> new record low unemployment rates, which only means! wealthy employers
> are getting even wealthier at the expense of the underpaid working
> class".
>
> She went on to say "Despite the billions of dollars being spent in
> Iraq our economy is still strong and government tax revenues are at
> all time highs What this really means is that business is exploiting
> the war effort and working Americans, just to put money in their own
> pockets".
>
> When questioned about recent stock market highs she responded "Only
> the rich benefit from these re cord highs. Working Americans, welfare
> recipients, the unemployed and minorities are not sharing in these
> obscene record highs". "There is no question these windfall profits
> and income created by the Bush administration need to be taxed at 100%
> rate and those dollars redistributed to the poor and working class".
> "Profits from the stock market do not reward the hard work of our
> working class who, by their hard work, are responsible for generating
> these corporate profits that create stock market profits for the rich.
> We in congress will need to address this issue to either tax these
> profits or to control the stock market to prevent this unearned income
> t o flow to the rich."
>
> When asked about the fact that over 80% of all Americans have
> investments in mutual funds, retirement funds, 401K's, and the stock
> market she replied "That may be true, but probably only 5% account for
> 90% of all these investment dollars. That's just more "trickle down"
> economics claiming that if a corporation is successful that everyone
> from the CEO to the floor sweeper benefit from higher wages and job
> security which is ridiculous". "How much of this 'trickle down' ever
> get to the unemployed and minorities in our county? None, and that's
> the tragedy of these stock market highs."
>
> "We democrats are going to address this issue after the election when

>
> When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied ; ;

The only thing I can figure out is that many many working people are simply ignorant of the dangers posed by such radical leftist ideas - and these are being preached by the Speaker of the House! ASTOUNDING! If you want to know what Democrats in leadership do, look at Michigan, liberal Gov. Jenny Granholm, and her accomplices in the Michigan Legislature: Their answer to businesses leaving the state, and Michiganders losing their jobs (highest unemployment in the nation) is to TAX THEM MORE - through an increase of 12% on income taxes, and higher prices because now many services have also been added to the mix. (The people have not yet begun to fight: 10 recalls of Michigan legislators are now in progress.)

Equalize income? Does that mean I need to dig into my pocket, again, for distribution to the poor & unemployed? I know how to raise the standard of living for the poor & unemployed. 'Get off your lazy ass, get a job, pay taxes.' As long as government subsidy exists for the poor & unemployed, we will keep expanding the quantity of, poor & unemployed.

You got that right, Betty. The poor may have more incentive under the FairTax. Hopefully they will have more work choices and more opportunity to save some money and hopefully, the government will begin to phase out these entitlement programs. Thanks for your comments.

It's frightening. We're headed down into a true socialist state. Why should I work hard and save when these crazy-ass liberals are just going to take it and redistribute it to the poor and the lazy.?

You can help us get this FairTax passed. Go to my link "Sign the Petition", click on it and sign. Write your congressmen to sign on as co-sponsors of the FairTax bill (HR25 & S1025). If they refuse, tell them they have lost your vote. Pass the word to everyone you know to get behind the FairTax before the country goes bankrupt.

Many of you probably know this is a hoax (check with snopes.com). It sounds about right, but it's wrong in reality, she never has been recorded saying this.
