That whole JFK speech business was especially bizarre because the brains behind Noland are two very intelligent, well-educated homosexuals who certainly could have prepared something original for their little monkey to perform.

What’s next from this guy? “Ich bin ein Elginer”? “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you’ll have to pay every April to me”?

He loves taxes for sure, but you have to give the good senator credit for supporting civil unions.

Though the jury is out on whether he delivered the speech better than JFK did.

He’s at it again.

The DH reports that Noland appeared at a rally in Elgin for “a financial transaction tax.”

Noland won’t stop until he’s found some tax to suck every legitimately-earned dollar into his unionized welfare-state bureaucracy.

And there’s really no one to stop him. Noland and his cronies have pretty well managed to exterminate an independent middle-class in Elgin, so he’s effectively insulated from the sort of Tea Party activism that swept the rest of the nation last November.

This is now cannibalizing the money in the bazaar; it will not make in my view any genuine net increase. Thanks ;)

I trust what they told me. The Social Security Adminisration told me to “forget about (the government activity I reported) and accept (taxpayers’) money.” Various U.S. presidents and politicians agreed, face-to-face and via E-mail, if not snail-mail also.

We are looking for a politically expedient solution without necessarily finding a long term cure for the problem. Again, this is fiscal irresponsibility and does not provide a balanced budget.

At what point do we finally say NO to more taxes. This will effect everyone but especially small businesses who utilize many of these services on a day to day basis. I own an Interior Design Business. My fees to my clients would be taxed. Now I am sure you say, “if they could afford a designer, they can afford to pay the taxes”. However, every dollar that goes to something other than my fees, doesn’t end up purchasing goods or additional services. Those service fees I collect help me to pay a young single mom who helps me in my office. Those fees are what keep me in business supporting, a workroom staff, painters, carpenters, paperhangers and many others. So, then do I change the way I bill? Instead of a design fee do I just overcharge them on products? Because, many business will be looking for ways to skirt this tax. This is just canabalizing the money in the marketplace, it will not create in my opinion any real net gain. Please do not take any more of MY MONEY or MY CLIENTS MONEY away just to place it in the hands of one of the most INCOMPETENT STATE LESISLATORS in the USA.

“I call him Tax Hike Mike, seeing how he earned THAT.”

Good one.
Anyone with their hands in my pocket I call honey or thief. And I’m not calling Mike honey.

Anyone I’m paying the salary of should call me boss. And I’ll call them whatever I please. I earned it. I’m entitled; given it’s my money.

How can we trust what they do with the money once they get it?

If anybody is wondering why I use “Mr.” when I refer to elected politicians such as Mike Noland, I am just following the standard practice of major media publications, such as the New York Times. It is not meant to signify any disrespect. When I use someone’s full name naked–or even just their last name, that again is standard practice. Nothing to fret about :)
