I’m a smart man. I know Obama will certainly lower my taxes because I make less than $250K and no other entity in the world is willing or capable of putting money back into the economy to get it moving again. But that’s besides the point. I’m a middle class American and I will continue to vote conservative republican even though it’s against my own best interest. That means nothing me. I just want to conserve and preserve what I know to be America. Call us ingrorant, racist, rednecks, gun loving devils. I really could care less what the people on the left say. I just know that I’m a proud tea bagging American who is against Obama regardless of how good he might be for my country because he’s not like me. That McCain girl is correct in saying that “we are scared @#$%less”. Sorry my fellow Tea Baggers for telling the truth but I don’t think we should have to hold back our true feelings in our own dayum country.

Perhaps, I was doing consulting work before and got hammered on 1099s. Then again, paying taxes beats the alterantive – not making money.

And cecee, the Muslim bit has gotten stale. Come up with something new. Aliens perhaps.

Best,

Pat

The day I take advice about going to school (I’m completing my PhD) from a guy who spells coercion as “coertion,” I’ll come look you up.

First, as for your stats on paying taxes, they are 100 percent incorrect. All Americans pay taxes – excise taxes, fica taxes, etc – just not everyone pays payroll taxes (of course excluding fica, which is in fact a payroll tax used to service the budget). Besides, the figure, Rick, is actually 88 percent of individuals and families pay payroll taxes. I’ll provide a link: http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/numbers/displayatab.cfm?Docid=2276&DocTypeID=7

Second, there is 11 trillion in national debt. 10 trillion was amassed during Republican administrations, including over one trillion last year. So you will excuse me while I yawn at your new found fiscal responsibility. Additionally, you should have bothered to read the remainder of my post that said: “If you want to talk about spending policy, I say hell yes. There’s a legit case to be made for pulling back from the reckless fiscal policy of the past nine years.” It pays to read before writing.

Third, I’m not on welfare, actually I’m sitting at my desk. I just paid my taxes (24% federal) and guess what? I didn’t complain about. It’s the cost of living in a democracy.

The week of the national tea parties we saw oppressors calling regular men, women and children radicals, GOP supporters and extremists. My question to you is, do we raise our voice now or do we wait until it is too late?

You know just like I do, it’s coming either when China stops buying treasury notes or the dollars is lost as the global currencies for trade.

Though I’m new to Texas, there is a fellowship that I’ve not seen in other states that I’ve come to care about. Everything is bigger in Texas; Texas has a heart that is Huge. It’s a great place to live, it’s balanced and clean, and it is one of the most affordable places to live with a great quality of life. Our quality of life is at risk, do we raise our voice now or do we wait until it is too late? I think this email answers the question as to my vote.

While, this email is me raising my voice! Yes we can become the leader of a nation; we can institute a change to America for the right reasons. Yes we all voted for change, but I did not sign on for 12 TRILLION DOLLARS, did you? We need to be heard loud and clear, Washington needs to know that these regular men, women and children are not radicals, GOP supporters and extremists. We are America! My son defends it, my great grandfather defended it, and any comments otherwise is an insult to the greatest civilization that has walked on planet earth, “Americans”.

I love America and its time everyone knows it! I’m a free man and I want to stay that way. Help me build the largest peaceful rallies in American history let’s show them our heart.

We have the right, we are in control of our own sovereignty, we have a right not to be oppressed by our government. Our children also have a right not to acquire 12 TRILLION dollars in debt because of the Federal Governments failed policies and other States failed policies. Texas is sound and it has been sound for well over 100 years, and I’m sick and tired of a full time government that’s taken 40 to 43% of my money at the end of the day and less than 18% stays in my home town.
