Let's go one better. We are one voice in how many in the UN? 1 in 15 on the security council, and 1 in 190-something overall. Yet the US pays nearly a quarter of the bills. Why? What has the UN done for us? If we're 1 voice in 15 the let our bill be a matching 6.7%

Get Past the MSM's Bright Candy Coating and You'll Gag on the Stench of Marxism...
"The things I've known were being done in every Marxist insurgency are being done in America today"
Things communists do:
1) Nationalize the economy
2) Redistribute wealth
3) Discredit their opposition
4) Establish/expand censorship
5) Control gun ownership
6) Develop a constabulary force
to control the population...
imho anyone who hasn't figured this out yet
has their head in a very shady place...

Great Reagan quotes
"The most dangerous myth is the demagoguery that business can be made to pay a larger share, thus relieving the individual. Politicians preaching this are either deliberately dishonest, or economically illiterate, and either one should scare us...
Only people pay taxes, and people pay as consumers every tax that is assessed against a business."
Only people pay taxes, and people pay as consumers every tax that is assessed against a business."
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction; it's not something we pass along in our bloodstream. It must be fought-for, protected, and passed-along for them to do the same"
"Entrepreneurs and small businesses are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States"
"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government, and I'm here to help"
Now Obama's mad.
Now Obama is ranting and raving, those damn republican are holding us back, won't pass my jobs bill, protecting millionaires. I guess we're supposed to forget Harry Reid, the democrat, is in charge of the schedule in the Senate and won't bring Obama' bill up for a vote. Mainly because the last stimulus worked so well, and was so popular, that his own part are afraid to vote for it, and it would get voted down. How many people are stupid or ignorant enough to actually believe Obama at this point?

"I've attended dozens of tea party events. I've helped organize them, and I've even spoken at a few. The tea party is not what is often depicted in the news. It is people of all colors who are terribly concerned about the direction that America is heading. We don’t trust big government to make decisions for us. And we fear that the present administration’s spending is going to lead our country down a path to insolvency, much like what Greece is currently facing.
"Your comments about the tea party have caused me physical pain. You've rekindled the old painful paradigm of Uncle Tom – that any black man who votes Republican is some kind of sellout. It's not true. I work hard, pay my taxes, love Jesus, and I'm good to my family and community. In effect, your comments have stereotyped an entire group of people. And I know in my soul that you must regret that on some level.
"I'm hoping that you’ll come to a tea party in Tennessee — the place of your birth. Really anywhere in the country that works for you; I'll set it up with the one of the thousands of activists I know around our great country. I'd be delighted to introduce you to good people who will welcome you with open arms, disagree with you, and then feed you some of the best barbeque you’ve ever tasted."
You can help turn up the heat by sending a Gadsden flag ("Don't Tread on Me") to Mr. Freeman. As the number of Gadsden flags he receives increases, he will increasingly feel the pressure to attend a real Tea Party event before making such an unfair judgment. Send Mr. Freeman one or more Gadsden flags now.
They call us racist because they don't walk to talk about cutting spending. They call us racist because capping the budget means they have no pet projects for their special voting blocs. They call us RACIST, because balancing the budget would force serious reforms on entitlements. This is the debate.

EPA gone berzerk.
http://www.americansforprosperity.org/092311-epa-wants-add-230000-more-bureaucrats
The EPA wants to add "230,000 new EPA bureaucrats at a cost of $21 billion -- more than tripling the EPA's total budget. In the filing EPA says it will reach these levels by April 30, 2016." I guess they think this is belt tightening.

"Gore staffers blocked broadcast access to Wednesday’s speech" But why?
Gore complains that "carbon producers... employ four Washington lobbyists for every member of Congress” but sees no problem with his own green jobs profiteering.
"Gore argued that extreme weather patterns were directly attributable to climate change, and that scientists overwhelmingly backed that viewpoint." Ofcourse these same "scientists" can't reliably produce a 3 day forecast, and a 10 day forecast is a joke. The long range models don't even rise to the joke level based on the guesswork involved. So directly attributable is bunk. And as for "overwhelmingly backed" apparently Mr. Gore thinks about 50% and falling is overwhelming.

“All that is lacking in many areas is the political will to carry those solutions through." Because these solutions are economic losers. Giant, production output inefficient, taxpayer money sucking, business competition eliminating, country competitive advantage ending, cost of living raising, economic losers.
"But, he said, plenty of jobs were on the horizon." Like solyndra... oops.
“Jobs are going to be especially important in this process, of course, and you are going to see the creation of lots and lots of jobs.” Like the chevy volt... oops.
"Chamber chairman Mike Salter, an energy industry veteran, noted that the cost of a wind farm project off the British coast made the power it generated 25 percent more expensive than had been estimated 18 months ago – and 25-35 percent more expensive than nuclear energy." Amazing how these early "green" estimates are always so badly wrong, and always so badly wrong in favor of the "green" project.
“This is indeed a very significant opportunity for Scotland, but only if the cost base is right. If as a consequence, the rest of the economy is disadvantaged then perhaps such a total commitment is misguided. Other lower-cost technologies are available.” I did say giant, production output inefficient, taxpayer money sucking, business competition eliminating, country competitive advantage ending, cost of living raising, economic losers, right?
"Many climate scientists and even some environmental activists have become more cautious about attributing various events and trends to man-made climate change, especially after a series of blows to the credibility of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), including the “Climategate” data-manipulation scandal and the IPCC’s retraction of an assertion in a key 2007 report that Himalayan glaciers could disappear by 2035." When you predict disaster, you either have to be right, or predict it far enough in the future that you're dead when you're proven wrong. Oops, failed on both accounts.
"In his speech, Gore referred among other things to recent flooding in Pakistan, where an estimated five million people have been affected, especially in the southern Sindh province. Pakistani government and meteorological department statistics for river discharges during the monsoon season (July-September) show flooding has occurred frequently, including in 1950, 1956, 1976, 1977, 1986, 1988, 1992, 1994, 2003, 2007 and 2010." They call it the monsoon season for a reason, dumb ass.

Stimulus 2 will fail as stimulus 1 did, don't put us in debt.
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/biden-new-stimulus-needed-even-if-we-re-growing-8-and-have-3-unemployment-rate
Biden doesn't get it. That kinda goes without saying though, doesn't it? So far the administrations solution to everything has been tax and spend. As a result unemployment has gone from an old accounting 7.8% to the new Obama math 9.1%. Amazing how the number is 9.1% no matter what happens, isn't it? In old accounting terms that 9.1% would look like 14%. Either these fools don't learn, or their goal actually is higher unemployment in a attempt to create unemployed democrat voters. Either way the only economically sound choice is to vote them out.

There is no such thing as a “business tax”.
Yet another perfect example of ‘political misdirection’, if you are feeling charitable, liberal lies if not. Government taxes banks, and user fees go up. The “business tax” is always passed directly to consumers as a price increase or fee. Obviously this means there no such thing as a “business tax”, and never has been.
As the cost of doing business goes up so does the price of the good or service sold to compensate. Look at your own life as an example. Many of us are selling items on craigslist or ebay. If item A cost you $5 and you can ship it for free, you'll charge $6 to make selling worthwhile. If shipping is $5 you'll now charge $11. The price got passed directly to the consumer.
Politicians can only run the taxes, and consequently prices, up to the point where the business or industry is no longer competitive. If the buyer says Item A is only worth $8 and you need $5 to buy another A and $5 to ship it, you won't sell any more item A. Taxes are always a burden on the economy. They should be viewed as a necessary evil for this reason, and be as limited as feasible.
At that point either the business attempts to reduce cost, for example jobs moving offshore, or the company goes out of business because we consumers can no longer afford the product. The buyer will have to look for something else or do without. The workers will become unemployed.
Everyone loses except the politicians who get reelected on anti business platforms. Americans lose jobs, choice, and standard of living.
