Star Parker: Being strangled by govt..Total govt spending (federal, state, & local) p/American household now $47,000, up 3 fold from 1965

 

Dear Friend of CURE, Here's Star Parker's weekly column. Hope you can take the time to read it. Being strangled by government There isn't a shred of evidence that government spending us into oblivion makes us better off -- in fact the evidence shows that it's the opposite.
Star Parker, founder and president of CURE A cab ride in Washington, DC on a weekday afternoon in June gives you a feeling of the national mood.  It's oppressively hot and humid and the traffic is horrible.  By the time you reach your destination, you feel strangled and oppressed and just want relief. Amidst the current lethargic economic recovery, with unemployment still just under 10%, the one growth stock remains government.  Washington, DC is a boom town today as the answer our current administration proposes for every single problem and challenge facing us is more government. Government spending is now 25 percent of our GDP.  This is five percentage points higher than the average of the last fifty years. A new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll reflects the nation's nasty mood.  Sixty two percent now say the country is "on the wrong track," compared to 43% saying this a year and a half ago. A fascinating online dynamic map display, called "The Decline: The Geography of a Recession", shows color coded unemployment levels county by county throughout the country.  Areas where unemployment is 4-6 percent are orange and red.  Areas of 7-10 percent unemployment are purple. The map display starts in January 2007 when national unemployment was 4.6 percent.  It shows a sea of orange and red across the nation.  You then click, and it changes by month, getting increasingly purple, until ending in March 2010 with national unemployment at 9.7 percent. Looking at this picture of the whole nation swathed with the purple color of high unemployment, you can't miss the tiny island of orange and red in the midst of all this. It's, of course, the region of our nation's capital. Another bold graphic of our dismal state of affairs is an outstanding series of charts on the nation's fiscal situation put together by Brian Riedl of the Heritage Foundation.  You just can't get a clearer picture of the cliff we are about to drive over. Total government spending (federal, state, and local) per American household is now $47,000.  This is almost triple what government spending per household was in 1965. But consider further that this $47,000 government spending per household is almost equal to the nation's median household income – about $51,000. In 1970 government spending per household was about half of median household income. Needless to say, all of this would be just fine if there was a shred of evidence that government spending us into oblivion made us better off.  Not only is there no such evidence, but the proof in the pudding is the opposite.   Look around the world.  The economies that are the most free are the ones that are the most prosperous.  Those with the largest encroachments of government are the ones that perform the worst. A study released a few weeks ago by three professors at Harvard Business School boldly challenged common perceptions about the benefits of government spending.   Incumbent members of Congress, particularly if they are powerful committee chairmen, often tout their value to their districts by the amount of federal money they bring home. According to this new study, it turns out that this isn't such good news.  The government money simply displaces the private sector.  According to the study, "the average firm in the chairman's state did not benefit at all from the increase in spending."  Rather, "firms significantly cut physical and R&D spending, reduce employment, and experience lower sales." Economics, the joke goes, is common sense made difficult. It just takes common sense to appreciate that our economy is not recovering because it is being strangled by government.     This will continue until we start going in the other direction. Cutting back government – spending and taxes – and unleashing again private American citizens to work and live free. Have you read these other articles by Star Parker yet? A roadmap for American renewal Is the role of government to protect life, liberty, and property? Or is the role of government, in the words of President Obama, "redistributive change"? Can Republicans win the Hispanic vote? Without the Hispanic vote, it will be tough to reverse the direction that Democrats have initiated – transformation of our country into a European style social welfare state. The simple path to Middle East peace A culture of blame, entitlement, and hate is a path to nowhere -- this is as true in the Middle East as it is in America's inner cities, put on the government plantation years ago. Today's political mandate: Become American again Americans are looking today for political leaders that understand that this is not just a another country. A new, emerging black leadership Today, much of black family life is in shambles, a direct result of the welfare state which emerged the same time as the Civil Rights Act.

Fairtax Friday | These are the Times that Try Men's Souls

 

Do not miss a single issue of FairTax Friday, add info@fairtax.org to your buddy list, contact list or safe list. Weekly Feature These are the Times that Try Men's Souls This is part of what was written by American patriot Thomas Paine and read to the Continental Army two days before the pivotal battle of Trenton that turned the tide of the Revolutionary War in our favor: "These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph." While your FairTax campaign is working its heart out to bring us closer to national consensus and strength toward enactment of the FairTax, the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico continues to work against us. The nation has become so understandably transfixed by the unfolding catastrophe on our southern coastline that the national FairTax campaign has started to sputter for lack of funds. Our work continues, nonetheless, because passage of the FairTax is so important to the future of our nation---despite the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Read more» FairTax Fireworks Slated for July 4th At 1:30 p.m. (eastern) the very first FairTax national TV broadcast will air on the Fox Business Channel. Made possible with private investments for production costs and grassroots donations to buy air time, the FairTax TV show is designed for those Americans who know very little about our issue. "It's in the middle of the day before we take our families to fireworks shows," said Ken Hoagland, National Victory Campaign Chairman. "Our hope is that every FairTax supporter will spread the word to everyone they know and on websites and in e-mail correspondence. Our campaign must always do more with less so an advertising budget was out of the question," he said. "Instead, we have asked every FairTaxer to act as a kind of 'Paul Revere" and spread the word." Around The Nation Grass Roots Freedom Ride for FairTax This week, the Grass Roots Freedom Ride for FairTax exceeded 5,200 miles - cutting through the middle of the country, from Virginia, west to Missouri and then south to Arkansas. Entering Virginia, the Welcome Center attendant, intrigued by Mike's FairTax pins was wowed by the FairTax bike and the whole FairTax concept. In Culpepper VA, the FairTax Bike participated in the Nite Train Rally. Riding with the Nite Train riders, the FairTax bike visited Montpelier, home to James Madison, remembered as the Father of our Constitution. I think Madison would approve of the checks and balances, simplicity and transparency in our system of taxation. Also in Virginia, the Freedom Ride picked up some Sons of Liberty Riders (SOLR) from Florida and Virginia. These concerned bikers fully support passage of the FairTax and are organized throughout the country to raise awareness for this important legislation. Later in Springfield Missouri, Tim Woodsome, owner of Cruizin' 66, hosted a FairTax event with TV coverage by CBS along with Jack Edge, who organized the Springfield FairTax team.

Read more» In The News IRS May Tax Payments to Gulf Coast Victims From Associated Press Published June 22, 2010 NEW ORLEANS — Out-of-work Gulf Coast shrimper Todd Pellegal spent his first $2,500 check from BP quickly, paying off bills and buying groceries for his family. He never even considered putting some of it away for taxes. Now he's among the people up and down the Gulf Coast reeling from the oil spill disaster who are surprised — and frustrated — to find out the Internal Revenue Service may take a chunk of the payments BP PLC is providing to help them stay afloat. Many were already angry about how long the oil giant took to cut the checks. So when they got the money — generally about a few thousand dollars each so far — they spent it fast. "If they're going to pay you a lump sum, like for a year, then bam, take the taxes out of the check," said Pellegal, of Boothville, La. "But a little bit at a time, they shouldn't." Accountants have been trying to nail down the implications for thousands of taxpayers after President Barack Obama said BP would create a $20 billion disaster fund and provide another $100 million for oil workers who lose their jobs because of the six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil has been gushing into the sea since the rig Deepwater Horizon exploded April 20, killing 11 workers and triggering the worst oil spill in U.S. history. Tax experts said generally all income is taxable under federal law unless specific exemptions are approved by Congress or the Treasury Department — and neither has acted yet on oil spill damage claims. The IRS would not comment on whether exemptions would be made, citing a policy of not answering questions on specific tax issues. Adding to the confusion, Kenneth Feinberg, who was chosen by President Barack Obama and BP to oversee the Independent Claims Facility, said Friday it hasn't been determined if the payouts will be considered taxable income. Some tax experts said they expected federal action soon to clarify the situation for Gulf Coast residents and business owners. "With the experience we've had with tornadoes and hurricanes, they know they need to address this," said John Ams, executive vice president of the Alexandria, Va.-based National Society of Accountants. It's not the first time the region has dealt with whether disaster money should be taxed. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana and Mississippi residents received federal money to rebuild their homes after many claimed a casualty loss for the damage on the 2005 tax returns. The IRS initially required people who received the money and took the deduction to add the value of the deduction to their 2007 returns as taxable income. That decision angered many residents, including some who were pushed into a higher tax bracket as a result. After residents and local leaders protested, Congress in 2008 voted to negate the IRS decision. Read more» Georgia WTBF-TV, Channel 6—ABC (transcript of recent broadcast) Channel 6—ABC Port Huron, May 21 Augusta, GA -- Last week we aired a special piece on the FairTax. With the FairTax you would not have money taken out of your paycheck but instead you would pay based on consumption. The FairTax would replace the national income tax but you'd still have to pay your regular state tax on top of that. Pat Van Hooser says the FairTax is fair. Van Hooser: "The idea behind the FairTax is to raise the same amount of money now." She says it will force everyone to pay taxes unlike the current system. Van Hooser: "There are so many in the underground economy and so many that support that unwittingly. if you think about the person that cuts your hair or someone who cleans your house or cuts your grass, they are probably in a cash economy, and while they are very nice people, they are not paying taxes like you and I have to pay taxes, and now it would be fair, we would all have to pay." Lloyd Newsome, FairTax of Georgia: "Whenever I go to a store and buy groceries, I'll buy beanie weanies. but my boss will go to the store and buy steak and lobster. Since I bought beany weanies, I pay less tax and I still have food on my table. He buys steak and lobster, he pays more taxes because he has the ability to do so. The FairTax is places a tax on your lifestyle not on your basic necessities of life." Proponents of the FairTax like Lloyd Newsome with the FairTax Organization of Georgia say you'd get money back from the government with a prebate. For example, if you made $20,000 dollars, you'd get 23% that divided equally into 12 monthly payments to offset for expenses like food, water and clothing. Van Hooser: "Every legal American with a Social Security Number will get the prebate whether you're Bill Gates or Pat Van Hooser or you or anyone else." Augusta State University (ASU) professor Doctor Craig Albert says he's concerned about the prebate. Albert: "So on the one hand for tax advocates say it'll help consumers save just by having the FairTax. but on the other hand you also get a prebate. it causes me take to take caution because why are you giving a prebate if its naturally going to help you save anyway." Read more» Greenspan's Case That US Borrowing Power Will Disappear From the Wall St. Journal (blog) Posted: June 18, 2010 Alan Greenspan still occasionally shows up on the global stage to sell a new book or defend his legacy as Fed chairman. He must find it irritating that his predecessor Paul Volcker has become such an important figure in US financial reform. Greenspan's opinions on the matter are almost never aired. The aging economist argued recently that the US is about to run out of its ability to raise debt at low rates to finance its growing deficits. His disagrees with most economists who worry about the effects of the US debt in a few years, but believe that very low borrowing costs will help American fund its government spending in the meantime.Greenspan's argument is that the US is about to be unpleasantly surprised by the global capital markets. These markets will begin to reject American borrowing because the federal government has no realistic plan to bring down spending and reign-in the national debt. "The federal government is currently saddled with commitments for the next three decades that it will be unable to meet in real terms," Greenspan said according to Bloomberg. The "very severity of the pending crisis and growing analogies to Greece set the stage for a serious response." Greenspan expects that the price the US will have to pay for new debt could rise quickly to 4%, which would increase debt service by tens of billions of dollars a year. The CBO already forecasts that total federal debt service will be $700 billion at the end of the decade. Greenspan, like most economists and many members of Congress, believes that rising deficits and debt will be the nation's financial undoing. The President recently set up a deficit reduction panel with 18 members, co-chaired by former Republican Senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming and former Clinton chief of staff Erskine Bowles of North Carolina. The group is scheduled to give its report in December.

Read more» Take Action Kill the VAT Tax!  Tell Congress to join the Anti-VAT Caucus.  FairTax TV Program: Watch Clips Here   Did You Know? Origins of the Income Tax The federal income tax was established in 1913. It actually required an amendment to the United States Constitution to make it legal. Why? Our Founding Fathers believed that taxing individuals on their private income was economic folly. They were right. The absence of an income tax, a tax on productivity, allowed our economy to grow and individuals to prosper for 124 years. The original income tax legislation affected only individuals earning $4,000 or more per year, at a time when the overwhelming majority of Americans earned far less. The 16th Amendment was eventually ratified and added to the Constitution, and a national income tax was born. That 16th Amendment was simply worded, the tax return consisted of only one page, and the entire tax code itself consisted of only 14 pages. No one could have imagined the vast impact it would have on the lives of their children, grandchildren, and future generations of Americans. Since then, the federal income tax system has become so complex that it requires tens of millions of Americans to seek professional help to comply with it, not to mention the enormous, expensive federal bureaucracy required to enforce and administer the tax. The Internal Revenue Service employs more investigative agents than the FBI and the CIA combined, and with 144,000 employees, employs more people than all but the 36 largest corporations in the United States. In addition to the $10 billion needed to operate the IRS, at least $265 billion (that is $900 for every man, woman, and child in this country) must be added to account for the cost of complying with the tax code. Massive amounts of our national wealth are consumed merely by measuring, tracking, sheltering, documenting, and filing our annual income.   Update email preferences | Unsubscribe | Contact Us Americans for Fair Taxation, PO Box 27487, Houston, Texas 77227-7487 1-800-FAIRTAX (324-7829)

'Amnesty On The Table Again?' ~@GovMikeHuckabee, "You better sit down before you read this blog."

June 24, 2010 - 11:02 PM

Amnesty On The Table Again?

by Mike Huckabee

You better sit down before you read this blog. 

Fox News is reporting that President Obama and the Democrat leadership are considering an Executive Order that would grant amnesty to 11,000,000+ illegal immigrants if their comprehensive immigration bill fails to pass through the Congress. 

How serious is this? 

Well it is serious enough that eight Republican Senators (Inhofe, Isakson, Cochran, Vitter, Hatch, Bunning, Chambliss and Grassley) sent a letter to the White House asking President Obama to abandon any plans to do this. 

Radically wrong ideas like this are why defeating...click here for entire article

Faith & Freedom Coalition: Stand up to Elena Kagan

 

Dear R. George, Next Monday will be a crucial day in the history of our country and our Constitution. Less than a week from now, members of the Senate Judiciary Committee will have two options when questioning liberal Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan. They can ask her the tough questions about her liberal judicial philosophy or they can simply roll over as Barack Obama attempts to fundamentally remake the Supreme Court. We've written to you about Elena Kagan before: she is Barack Obama's nominee to the Supreme Court who famously banned U.S. military recruiters from the Harvard campus and who believes that the Constitution is a "living" document, subject to reinterpretation and revision. Faith & Freedom members are doing their job in opposing this liberal nominee. Thousands of our fellow conservatives have contacted their Senators, encouraging them to reject this radical nomination. You can do your part today by signing our petition to stop Elena Kagan here. After you sign the petition, contact these members of the Judiciary Committee and tell them to stand up to this liberal nominee next Monday: Sen. Jeff Sessions: (202) 224-4124 Sen. Orrin Hatch: (202) 224-5251 Sen. Chuck Grassley: (202) 224-3744 Sen. Jon Kyl: (202) 224-4521 Sen. Lindsey Graham: (202) 224-5972 Sen. John Cornyn: (202) 224-2934 Sen. Tom Coburn: (202) 224-5754 Thank you for taking action today to safeguard our Supreme Court. Sincerely,   Gregg Keller National Executive Director Faith & Freedom Coalition Copyright (C) 2010 Faith & Freedom Coalition All rights reserved.

NIA Asks Members to Email FOX News about Peter Schiff, Sen Cand. for CT

 

---

 

The National Inflation Association would like to take this opportunity to urgently ask its members to email FOX News about the candidacy of Peter Schiff for the U.S. Senate in the State of Connecticut. FOX News claims to be for the Tea Party Movement, but has so far completely blacked out the U.S. Senate campaign of Peter Schiff, when he represents what the Tea Party stands for better than any other candidate nationwide.

 

It was just announced today that Peter Schiff has successfully petitioned his way on to the ballot for the Republican Primary on August 10th. Peter Schiff will be running against Linda McMahon, former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment. Although Linda McMahon may be a Washington outsider, she has used her billion dollar wresting fortune to buy the support of all Washington insiders. In our opinion, if Linda McMahon gets elected to the U.S. Senate, she will be just another Republican who acts like a Democrat once in office.

 

NIA believes that Peter Schiff fully understands the hyperinflationary crisis our country is approaching and how to prevent it. We need Peter Schiff in Washington if we want to have any hope of preventing hyperinflation and the complete destruction of the U.S. dollar. Please email Glenn Beck at glennbeck@foxnews.com, Sean Hannity at hannity@foxnews.com, and Bill O'Reilly at oreilly@foxnews.com, asking them to have Peter Schiff on their programs.

 

Two of NIA's co-founders have already donated the maximum amount to Peter Schiff for his primary campaign. NIA strongly encourages its members to also support Peter Schiff's candidacy by making a donation at http://schiffforsenate.com

A roadmap for American renewal ~Star Parker 2 books to read in this Summer of Discontent

 

---

Dear Friend of CURE, Here's Star Parker's weekly column. Hope you can take the time to read it. A roadmap for American renewal Is the role of government to protect life, liberty, and property? Or is the role of government, in the words of President Obama, "redistributive change"?
Star Parker, founder and president of CURE The anti-political establishment sentiment that is gripping the country reflects something more basic that is going on.  What we have is a national renewal movement - a search and discovery mission by Americans to restate and restore those first principles that define us. And, indeed, part of what is bothering so many is a sense that we are now in our current mess because of wholesale loss of appreciation that we even have first principles that uniquely define us, let alone understanding what they are. Now we have a new book that will serve as an invaluable resource and operating manual in this national struggle to "bring back America." "The Blueprint: Obama's Plan to Subvert the Constitution and Build an Imperial Presidency", by Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski, provides comprehensive chapter and verse of what we need to understand and what we can do about the challenges we're now confronting. Blackwell is currently a senior fellow at the Family Research Council (and a longtime conservative friend and colleague of mine) and Klukowski is a constitutional lawyer and journalist.    Blackwell and Klukowski provide one stop shopping for understanding the philosophic departure of our current administration from traditional American principles, identification of each key battlefront where they are changing the country, and what, in each case, we can do about it. American history, of course, has never been defined by smooth and tranquil sailing.   Life itself, and certainly life lived in freedom, is a daily struggle.  Our only choices are the battles we choose to fight. What so uniquely defines today's times and struggles is the extent to which they are about core principles.  Yes, of course, we're battling daily on policy.   Health care, energy, environment, financial services, etc. But our differences on these questions reflect more profound differences about what defines us as a nation. Is the role of government to protect life, liberty, and property?  Or is the role of government, in the words of President Obama, "redistributive change"? It is unprecedented in our nation's history that legislation of the size and scope of the recent health care bill, that will cost trillions of dollars, that will restructure one sixth of our economy and impact even more, passed with effectively zero support from the opposition party. This is not because of political calculation, as the President suggested the other day. "Before I was even inaugurated congressional leaders of the other party got together and made a calculation that if I failed, they'd win." You don't have to be a constitutional lawyer to sense there's a problem in America when the federal government defines to the last detail what a health insurance policy must look like and then forces every citizen to buy one. Blackwell and Klukowski show that the departure point defining American exceptionalism is a nation rooted in God-given first truths and our constitution that defines a federal government, with limited and enumerated powers, that preserves and secures those truths. Our president sees things differently.  Rather than a nation of men who live by laws, he sees us as a nation of men who enact laws to implement particular agendas of what they deem to be fair and just. Under this leadership, we've started up the path of becoming a social welfare state rather than the free nation under God that our founders envisioned. As result, we're now seeing unprecedented government expansion and intrusion into our private lives.  And the bills that are piling up to pay for this new socialism are strangling us blue. How it's all playing out in health care, education, our courts, our media, how we do the census, and how we vote, is laid out clearly and chillingly in this powerful book. Blackwell and Klukowski have given us a roadmap back to freedom, morality, and prosperity.    This is an important read during this summer of American discontent. Have you read these other articles by Star Parker yet? Can Republicans win the Hispanic vote? Without the Hispanic vote, it will be tough to reverse the direction that Democrats have initiated – transformation of our country into a European style social welfare state. The simple path to Middle East peace A culture of blame, entitlement, and hate is a path to nowhere -- this is as true in the Middle East as it is in America's inner cities, put on the government plantation years ago. Today's political mandate: Become American again Americans are looking today for political leaders that understand that this is not just a another country. A new, emerging black leadership Today, much of black family life is in shambles, a direct result of the welfare state which emerged the same time as the Civil Rights Act. Who is governing America? What exactly is the agenda of those who sit in the seat of power of our own country? Distributed by Scripps Howard News Service Send a comment to Star Parker Support CURE

Elections official hits TV to affirm no Hawaii birth In direct contradiction of the White House storyline, the former Honolulu elections official who caused a national stir this month when he told WND Barack Obama was "definitely" not born in Hawaii, and that no long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate even exists for the president in the Aloha State is now reaffirming those claims to a network television affiliate.

The New Yorker-Is the wayward Republican Mike Huckabee now his party’s best hope?

Is the wayward Republican Mike Huckabee now his party's best hope?

by Ariel Levy June 28, 2010

Sun was bouncing off the miles of Jerusalem stone and the black hats of the Hasidim on the afternoon when Mike Huckabee went to visit the Wailing Wall, earlier this year. Huckabee—the former governor of Arkansas, the host of a Fox News show, and, according to the most recent Rasmussen poll, the top pick among likely Republican primary voters for President in 2012—was making his fourteenth trip to Israel. This time, he was leading a group of a hundred and sixty evangelicals on a tour of Christian holy sites with the singer Pat Boone. Huckabee wore mirrored Ray-Bans and a polka-dot shirt with gold cufflinks in the shape of Arkansas. Boone, who is seventy-six and still keeps his hair strawberry blond, was in a light-blue leisure suit and white bucks. Both men were wearing yarmulkes. "I think what I should do is convert," Huckabee said, squinting in the sunshine. "This covers my bald spot completely."

Huckabee was a Baptist minister before he went into politics, but, like Boone and most of the other people in their group, he is crazy about Israel and extremely enthusiastic about Jews. "I worship a Jew!" Huckabee said. "I have a lot of Jewish friends, and they're kind of, like, 'You evangelicals love Israel more than we do.' I'm, like, 'Do you not get it? If there weren't a Jewish faith, there wouldn't be a Christian faith!' " In recent weeks, Huckabee has defended the Israeli attack on a Turkish flotilla headed for Gaza, in which nine people were killed. He does not support a two-state solution, or, at least, as he told numerous reporters in the course of the trip, "not on the same piece of real estate"—which is to say he thinks that coming up with a place for the Palestinians ought to be an Arab problem. In fact, Huckabee does not believe that Palestinian is a legitimate nationality. "I have to be careful saying this, because people get really upset—there's really no such thing as a Palestinian," Huckabee told a rabbi in Wellesley, Massachusetts, at a kosher breakfast on the campaign trail in 2008. "That's been a political tool to try to force land away from Israel." In a speech to the Knesset on our trip, Huckabee said, "I promise you, you do not have a better friend on earth than Christians around the world, who know where we have come from and know who we must remain allies and friends with." The members of his tour group who were seated in the audience applauded vigorously; several rose to their feet and shouted, "Amen!" ...
