Fasten Your Seatbelts…

Wow. It has been only 10 days since The One has been elected and already, our America is changing faster than maybe ever in its history. You’d better fasten your seatbelts as it looks like it is not coming to a complete and safe stop anytime soon…

Why–she askes with tongue in cheek–is everyone getting so excited about this. Prefect Paulson was given a blank check to do what ever he needed to get the economy right–so now he has another plan-he’ll probably have another one or two before the Obamessiah takes over and really fixes everything.

Let’s start building the guillotines now. We need a leader (non-gov) of the people who will show the petitions signed by the people of America to unseat these bastards, a leader who will take it to these scumbags, a leader to organize us. I will follow if someone comes forth. I don’t mean “that one’ either.

On November 4th the people of this country spoke and turned over the reins of government to the very people who created the mess in the first place. Th inmates are now running the asylum.

I see another FDR (Obama) in the White House, replacing another Hoover (Bush) and an economy in recession. The new President and another democratic congress, once again, are going to make the same mistakes that were made in the 30s. History repeats itself. Bailouts and more regulations will have the same effect now, as back then…a depression. Investments will go down as people refuse to put their money in something that is changing daily, with the government scrambling to control things. Companies will not hire or, worse, let workers go, to stay afloat. Politicians, refusing to look at the mistakes of the past, see only their own security. Regulations hurt economies, not improve them. Economics 101.

Congress: “Oh, waiter, I ordered a crap sandwich, and there’s a problem. It tastes like crap!”

Well, no surprises that Paulson isn’t going to do what was a dire emergency!!! I’m with America1st in that WE the people knew what apparently our illustrious Congresscritters couldn’t figure out.

But it seems to me that we should be glad he’s not buying up a bunch of toxic mortgages… is that at least one good thing? kinda like a piece of candy hidden in the Crap Sandwich?

Ewww… never mind.

Not That I am against holding Paulson accountable, but these dummies voted for the crap sandwhich KNOWING HE WOULD HAVE UNREVIEWABLE DISCRETION.

What did they think was going to happen? Is this really a surprise to them? If so we are in a lot more trouble than we realize because WE sure saw this coming.

Misscheryl-

They would hire more people to collect or they would use the current staff without hiring anyone and it would be an even bigger nightmare for the taxpayer(?)/revolter…

In theory, great plan, I hear you on it, but do not try that as you would be the one punished..Just remember, your name is Miss Cheryl, not Peggy..Peggy The Moocher

In a nutshell, yes! Not filing taxes is against the law and the IRS will come after you..as you are working your case through the courts, they will get their money from you one way or another…In the end, the IRS, and not you will prevail. I understand why you said what you said, and yes, it seems like it would only be fair, but the IRS is not a government entity that you want to try and prove a point with!

Understood, but I meant collectively. If a major revolt resulted in thousands, maybe tens of thousands refusing to file their tax return.
