The Fat Tax

If you are a New York resident, you have got to love the plans coming from the capital on how they state government wants to catch up with it's ever growing budget deficit. The Governor announced the new "Fat Tax" or tax on soft drinks that contain levels of sugar that exceed standards set by bureaucrats. This of course is in addition to charging added tax on gas, income, sales, and even another one of my personal favorites....iTunes!

This last election season was a referendum on Republicans. Nationwide, they lost seats because they couldn't figure out how to stop spending. Many of them deserved the loss, many were doing a fine job but became collateral damage and were ousted. Now, we get to see the full power of the left. The voice of the youth has been heard and the old crusty people on the right have been sent back to the private sector.

Before too much foolishness takes hold, I think now is a great time to sit back for a moment and laugh a little bit.

The youth who thrive on high energy drinks and music, those same folks who cried at the mere mention of a middle class tax cut are now a target...not from the right...instead....from the left. Sure, they may see a tax decrease, but the cost of living their lives the way they want to in one of America's most populous and "Blue" states is going to increase. If they drive, they have to pay more for gas, if they shop, the clothes will cost more, if they work, they'll see less in their pay checks, if they like Cola, they'll pay more and if they dig on iTunes, well, they'll do their patriotic duty and pay more. So, for all that talk about tax breaks and how Republicans screw the middle class....wake up and taste the diet ginger ale baby! When you elect those who support more and more programs, you are going to pay....not the rich. Rich people drink Fiji Water (Obama) or Voss (Hillary.)

Obama has the liberal left in a tizzy today. After Prop 8 in California, Pastor Warren was blasted by the liberal left machine. Obama chose him to deliver the invocation at his inauguration. "Yes He Did....Yes He Did!" Though I'm fairly confident, this will have ZERO bearing on the future of the United States...it's certainly worth a chuckle considering Warren's anti gay marriage stance. For the record, let it also be known that I do believe gays should have the same rights as straights. If not marriage, then a civil union with full rights as straight couples. Regardless...The Die Hard Pro Obama/Pro Gay Protesters who literally assaulted innocent people over Prop 8, have to be scratching their heads. I give Obama credit on his choice.

I'll even take this a step further and give Obama credit on many of his choices for cabinet members. Though I don't like all of them, he has taken his campaign rhetoric and shelved it a bit by moving to the right instead of to the left. I pray to god that he continues to swing to the right...time will tell and I'll likely have an opinion to share.

Just a quick recap-

Democrats ran across the country on: Tax Cuts for the Middle Class; Tax Increase for the Rich; Change we can believe in; Gay Rights; Expanded Health care; an end to Washington Corruption; Wasteful Spending and Precision Economic Stimulus Uneducated voters came out in droves for the Man who can speak inspiration and hope, and his party, with the goal to get them in and oust the Republicans (Which apparently is a dirty word now.)

Now it looks like we're seeing the following plans come together:

• Tax Breaks for the middle class (though still not well defined)
• No Tax Increases for the Rich
• Insane increases in spending
• High Level Executive Leadership that does resemble much of the past (though not as bad as I thought it would be)
• A Pro-Life/Anti-Gay Pastor at the Inauguration
• Cuts to heath care programs across the country due to a severe slump in tax revenue
• Washington Corruption apparently doesn't hold a candle to Chicago Politics
• Stimulus plans which include Water Slides at Parks and Polar Bear exhibits at Zoos. What the fuck is that going to stimulate economically?
• At least in NY and CA (The most Liberal Democratic states) Heavy increases in taxes on just about everything.
• GW Bush is turning Democrat on the way out the door with a possible bail out for the auto industry.

Though registered as a Republican, the party itself sucks. I'm tempted to register Independent, but I do want a say in Primary Politics, so, I'll stay put for now....but this party needs to remember it's Conservative roots and rid itself of the "NeoCon" and "Religious Right." The Right had control and screwed it up when it held an majority....now let's give the left a chance to remind us all of how important conservatism is (not party politics)to the betterment of our country.

We learned this week that Arabs, when they really want to tell someone off and show disrespect...throw their shoes. Americans show true disrespect by shitting in a paper bag, lighting it and leaving it on someone's door. We Rock!

And finally...Burger King announces a new body spray Nothing turns on the ladies like a hit of Flame Broiled Meat. Anytime I wanted to impress, I would slap some hamburger grease all over my chest before a big date. No longer will men suffer with dirty greasy shirts. No longer will ladies run their fingers through a man's chest hair only to end up with little pieces of cooked beef under their nails. You asked if it was possible to come up with the ultimate fragrance and Burger King answered...."YES WE CAN"
