Now this is depressing…
“After a five-day legislative session, (California) lawmakers approved the budget plan early Thursday after Mr. Schwarzenegger and legislative leaders corralled the final Republican needed for the required two-thirds majority. State Sen. Abel Maldonado of Santa Maria cast the needed GOP vote after Senate leaders met his demand to kill a gas-tax increase and add an election-reform proposal to a state ballot.”
What a sell-out…for 30 pieces of silver. So he killed the gas tax hike…big deal. California taxpayers are still going to get hit with…
$5.8 billion sales tax hike
$3.7 billion income tax hike
$1.5 billion vehicle registration fee hike
And $1.4 billion in lost tax exemption by reducing the dependent care deduction from $300 to $100.
This is like Davey Crockett opening the back door to the Alamo. After all these months of holding firm and fighting valiantly against tax hikes, Abel was able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Hall of Taxpayer Shame, here he comes.
You’re talking about something that is history. I don’t believe there is any money left, it’s ALL been stolen. When’s the last time you saw a silver dime or quarter? The only “money” is paper, plastic and digits in computers and that my friend is NOT money.
We have been robbed and the crooks are elected officials! They were supposed to keep an eye on things but, as usual, they choose to take care of themselves and the little people be damned.
Forget elections, forget getting a fair deal from government now is the time for all good people to stock up on guns and ammo!!!!!!!
Bruce, change now needs to come from the bottom. Force the states to ONLY use gold and silver coin again, as mandated by the constitution. It’s starting in Georgia:

Introduce it in YOUR state!
To think this guy represents me. And that I will be writing end less press releases on Open Primary idea from now to June 2010. Of course, if it were to pass, I could always go back to the US Supreme Court . That was the high point of my life. Maybe I can repeat it.
Liberty,

Very interesting site Bill, thanks.
Yet another nail in the coffin of the professional politicians.
The people are paying attention!
