Benefits of Adding a Fifty-first State

The electorate in Arizona seems to have wearied of the official misuse of their tax dollars.  Rewarding with public revenues someone who stumbles across their border two days from childbirth in order to deliver in a homeless shelter seems not to represent the American way.

Anchor babies--they are the children born here to illegal aliens--provide the legal pretext for importing their mother's entire extended family to settle in comfortably on the taxpayers' dime.  They enjoy the benefits of TANF, Social Security Supplemental Income and disability payments, WIC checks, food stamps, cost free health care, subsidized or free housing and utilities, and educational benefits that include free lunches.

As though the US did not already have more than enough lifetime welfare recipients, they are pouring unchecked across our borders.  Golly gee, who oh who, could possibly benefit from this permanent welfare constituency?  Surely, it could not be Barack, throws-like-a-girl O-buma!

Has anyone else noticed that hearing the O-bumites' denials that they are continuing to expand their theft-welfare empire is mindful of Thomas Beecham's simile?  The grating sound is like that of "two skeletons copulating on a corrugated tin roof."

While on the topic of importing welfare recipients, the Congressional Theftocrats are using the same sort of procedural flimflammery used to create socialized medicine to add to their numbers two senators, 6-8 house members, a pile of electoral votes, and a couple of million voters.  Not only should Puerto Rico be denied statehood, we should unilaterally re-establish their independence as a sovereign nation.

This study from the University of Massachusetts indicates that the source of 33.8% of Puerto Ricans' per capita income is federal tax dollars.  This amount in relation to the 50 states, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico is 158% of the average amount, ranking fourth overall.

With a national median income of about $17,000, or about 60% lower than that of the US and lower than any of the 50 states, there seems to be little benefit to statehood other than more unskilled labor.  Since only two-thirds of the island's population are high school graduates, compared to the US rate of over 80%, we would be getting the short end of the stick.  On the whole, it seems more harmful than helpful to acquire additional people whose job skills make them best suited for work as Walmart greeters or salting fries at McDonald's.

Some people are just lucky; read about this immaculate deception.

May your gods be with you.

 

Subsidized Child Abuse

The cartoon to the left is from the 1934 Chicago Tribune.  The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Are you pleased with the manner in which the O-bumites are spending your tax dollars to maintain the theft welfare state?  Here is one example.  There are only so many welfare dollars available.  Thanks to her and others whose primary activities are breeding TANF recipients, tax money is being diverted away from those who suffer from catastrophic medical conditions such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, or cancer.  Consider also that she could have had free birth control.

The Theftocrats are purchasing votes from their permanent welfare constituency with your hard earned money at the expense of those who actually deserve help.

Neglect is an insidious form of child abuse.  People reflect their environments.  Children model themselves after the adults who are in their lives.  Children of single parent families are most likely to drop out of high school without acquiring marketable job skills, leaving them with the bleak future of lifetime welfare dependence.  They are most likely to go to prison, abuse substances, and abuse their own children.  It is the children who suffer most.

Since things are this way, it is a near certainty that the people in charge of government want it that way.  Someone must be benefiting from this massive expenditure of tax money.  Who could possibly stoop so low as to profit from the misery of others?  

Perhaps among their numbers could be the bureaucrats whose only job skills are giving away other people's money.  Possibly it could also be the members of the nation's education collective who substitute indoctrination for education and provide resources that facilitate production of unwed teenage mothers.  They and the corrupt politicians who fund these schemes do so in order to maintain a permanent underclass of people who trade their votes for lifetime membership at the federal welfare estate.

Hopefully, there is a particularly hot place in Hades for those who facilitate, enforce, and participate in this taxpayer funded child abuse.

May your gods be with you. 

The hoods are at it again.  O-buma and the Congressional Theftocrats are continuing to rape, pillage, and plunder the nation.  First, they stole one sixth of the nation's GDP by nationalizing the health care industry because those businesses committed the egregious crime of making a 3.4% profit.  Now they are using the contrived excuse that the financial mess they caused with the Communist Redistribution Act--this is a primary cause of the recent economic meltdown--justifies stealing the nation's financial sector of the US economy.

Speaking of stealing, if the Theftocrats want to institute a national sales tax (VAT) why not repeal the sixteenth amendment to the Constitution and eliminate federal income taxes?  Opponents of the VAT claim that it places a greater burden on people who have lower incomes.  Does the formula that justifies that argument take into account these forms of revenue and tax benefits?

• cost free housing and utilities
• cost free food
• welfare healthcare
• no federal income tax
• (un)earned income tax credit federal welfare check

A cost free four bedroom apartment including utilities can be worth thirty to forty thousand dollars a year.  Free food benefits from SNAP for a single parent and four TANF recipients is about $9500 per year.  The costs to taxpayers for welfare healthcare are virtually unlimited.  Federal income tax rates for the highest levels are about 40%; add another 15% combined taxes for social security and the benefits of riding in the federal wagon are clear.  With an additional $5500 from the unearned income tax credit program, a single parent with four TANF recipients can receive over $50,000 of unearned and untaxed revenue, goods and services, and in kind contributions that someone else produced.

To make the claim that sales taxes are regressive is to ignore significant amounts of untaxed revenue.  The argument is dissembling based upon specious reasoning.

May your gods be with you.
