Obama’s Tax Calculator Lies…

Nov

How can a person that pays $0.00 in taxes get back over $3,000.00 in tax cuts? That’s not called a tax cut, it’s called mandatory well-fare and forced distribution of wealth.

Obama’s official web site has this "tax calculator". It’s pretty self explanatory.

I have no problem helping people out. I’m a big believer in giving others opportunity and especially a hand up in life. I’ve already talked about some of the groups that I donate to. Obama’s plan takes the heart and soul out of charity, and turns in to a dry, soul-less, forced government program.

Today our nation votes…

When I voted for John McCain and Sarah Palin I thought that it was important to recognize the historic gravity of this election and stated that I would soon post on the issues that prompted me to not support Barack Obama. The first issue was Life, now I’d like to talk about stewardship and financial responsibility.

Here’s the complete report referenced in that clip.

Council For Citizens Against Government Waste, non-partisan, watch dog group. Each year they tabulate their Congressional Ratings, evaluating how each member of Congress measures up on key tax and spending votes. (Low rating = wasteful spender)

Senator 2007 Rate Life Time
Joe Biden 0% 22%
Barack Obama 10% 18%
John McCain 100% 88%
I don’t trust Obama or Biden with my money

I’ll just come out and say it. I don’t trust Obama with my money. I give to a lot of charities. I’ve been on staff with non-profit organizations, churches and mission trips that relied on the generosity and donations of others. that being said, governments makes a lousy charities.

As a Christian I believe that we will be held accountable for how we steward the resources that God trusts us with. I’m very careful when choosing organizations that I give money to. I look at things like overhead, oversight and effectiveness. That’s why I don’t give donations to groups like the United Way – they aren’t a charity, they are a charity clearing house…pure overhead. I prefer to donate directly to groups like the Boy Scouts of America, Hope International, Student Venturethe Goads and my local church.

governments makes a lousy charities

I keep hearing about the top 5% and the bottom 95% of tax payers in this election. Here’s the problem: There is an economic quality to these numbers, Obama keeps using them as pure quantitative numbers.

Let me explain: Let’s say that I was in a scuffle with a person, and I came back all beat up saying "wow, that person really worked me over, he beat and punched over 60% of my body!". You would ask, what did you do to the other guy? "Not much, I barely touched 5% of his body (quantitative), all I did was decapitate him. (qualitative)." You see, by attacking the top 5% of tax payers, Obama is attacking the head, the heart and the drivers of our economy.

That’s a bad investment.

Wrong on Life

"Abortion is a foundational issue; it is not an issue like housing policy or the price of foreign oil. It always involves the intentional killing of an innocent life, and it is always, grievously wrong." - Archbishop of Denver Charles Chaput

There is no question that the presidential election this year is truly historic. If one side wins, we’ll have the first black president of the United State, and on the other side we’d have the first woman vice-president of the United States. Historic. No matter what.

Crazy Liberal Sayings

Nov
3

<![CDATA[

A friend of mine recently declared himself a “social liberal, but a fiscal conservative.”  Huh? I've heard this type of fence riding from more than one person... even from certain media pundits. I guess that means that they want the government to pay for everything... just not with their money.

I saw a bumper sticker recently. “War is not the answer.” Really? Doesn't that depend on the question? When Hitler was killing Jews by the millions, war was the correct answer. When Japan wiped out our fleet in the pacific, war was the correct answer. When Afghanistan was providing safe refuge to those who had attacked us, killing over 3000 Americans, war was most definitely the correct answer. It bothers me that people can be so idiotic and short sighted, and yet still possess the ability to pass a drivers test and apparently maintain a steady job.

I think that these crazy liberal sayings reveal a deeper truth... they are backed by crazy liberal ideals and ideas. They reveal a truth that is central to the liberal mindset. It's also another reason that I am so thankful that George W. Bush is our president, I personally think the John Scary probably agrees with these crazy liberal sayings.

Stolen Honor

Oct

Please find the 42 minutes to watch this film. It’s very moving and very telling. You can also buy the film at the site, which I’d strongly recommend. As this is the only way many people will have of viewing the film, please pass it on.

The film Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal, a documentary exposing the devastating impact of John Kerry’s anti-war activities on veterans and POWs, is now available for free viewing online in a much more watchable high resolution format:

Some election quotes from other people.

“Kerry keeps vowing: "I will never stop at anything to hunt down and kill the terrorists." But he will stop at the Iraqi border. Or if the French and Germans aren't on board. Or we don't have United Nations approval. Or it would require investigating a Muslim under the Patriot Act.”

Great quote from Ann Coulter. Very true. http://www.anncoulter.org/

“This November, my generation, which has been absent too long, must grasp that 100 years from now historians will look back at the election of 2004 and see it as the decisive election of our century.  Depending on the outcome, they will describe it as the moment America  joined the ranks of ordinary nations; or they will describe it as the moment the prodigal sons and daughters of the greatest generation accepted their burden as caretakers of the City on the Hill."
