GOP Hopefuls Stress Their ‘Family Values’

Friday, January 27, 2012

The Republican presidential candidates want you to look past the stiff suits and debate rhetoric and see that they’re good guys — husbands, fathers, Christians.

That’s why Newt Gingrich points to his religious conversion when asked about cheating on his wife. It’s why Mitt Romney highlights his 43-year marriage, and Rick Santorum is photographed with his seven smiling children.

Even long-shot candidate Ron Paul has released a “statement of faith” saying that Jesus is his savior.

Being seen as the family values candidate can go a long way toward winning the party’s nomination, but Republican voters remain undecided about who fits that bill before the Florida primary on Tuesday.

In recent political history, “family values” have been defined as opposing abortion and same-sex marriage and believing that Judeo-Christian principles should be reflected in the public square.

It’s not about their families or their pass. It’s about what are they going to do to help the country ( reduce taxes) cap spending, balance the books and bring the national deficit to $0.0 and make a new law that take care of this tax inequity such as this.

It’s time for a revolution in American. It’s time for “equal taxation for all “. We need an executive order to be written within the first twenty-four hours of the new presidency . One that will do the following

Step #1 = Abolish the IRS and all of its tax codes immediately.

Step #2 = Establish a flat 10% tax rate plus a 2% VAT tax where your annual tax obligation is automatically withdrawn from each paycheck. This 10% withdraw will cover the individuals state and federal obligation for the year with no need to ever file a 1040 form. There’s to be no other taxes of any kind for any reason. The 10% is distributed at 2% to the state and 8% the federal government and is to be frozen at 10% for eternity. A 2% VAT is to assure those that make the most and therefore spend the most will be the ones who pay the most because they buy the most.

Step # 3 = State, Federal and VAT taxes are to be frozen forever and will never be more than 10% of you earnings / profits and since all earnings and sales are electronically recorded you cannot hide / shelter them.

If the United States of America cannot run it’s government on 10% of everyone’s income then shut down all non essential programs and keep only those a 10% tax + 2% VAT will support. In conjunction with the fair taxation plan comes no borrowing to sustain or support any programs, period, and the books must be balanced on Dec 31st of each year with the results posted in real time; allowing the public to see where their money is being spent.

Only you the tax paying people of America can stop the insanity of being taxed into poverty and used as a never ending involuntary donor to support the parasite of this world. If you have no balls to abolish the IRS or to mandate the establishment of a fair tax policy, then just change your name to JB ( Johnny Bendover ) and smile as they molest you and your children relentlessly for eternity.

As it stands now and with the current IRS tax code this is exactly what they’re doing to you at this moment.

It’s time for a cashless society worldwide so we can get our financials in order and assure we are all sharing the tax load equally.

If you want to abolish the IRS, what will you call the new department that verifies and enforces?

For all those people who object to Romney’s being a Mormon: he’s still had two less wives than Gingrich.

for Jim Lettourneau:
During the Bush years the economy was booming. Employment was stable. People were spending money like crazy on newer and bigger homes, biggest televisions in history, home theaters and tons of new electronics and gadgets.
Rising fuel prices put pressure on the housing bubble and caused it to collapse sooner then it would have, but it was destined to collapse anyway. That’s what caused bankruptcies and lost jobs.
This all happened after the housing bubble crash and because of it. It was not the state of the way things were during his whole administration.
Bush was not a conservative President but he was also dealing with a very liberal Democratic controlled House and Senate. He was the man in charge but both parties were responsible for the economy.

We have some good people running for President this time all of which are going to be better than what we have rights now. I only wish they would beat on Barrack Husane Obama instead of each other, so that when the time comes the person elected to become President can take advantage of some of the other talent in the pool such as Ron Paul who sould made Secretary of the Treasury, and Sarah Palin should made Secretary of Interior, if she accept.

Allen West for President and Marco Rubio for VP. Thease fine men would topple Obama for sure.
