House Trying to Tax AIG Bonuses

President Obama signed a $500,000 book deal just five days before taking office.  I wonder if he's going to criticize himself for taking the big money?

 

The United Nations wants to pour $750,000,000,000 into a "Green New Deal" to protect us from "global warming."  Wait, sorry, it's really about redistributing wealth.  Global warming alarmist James Hansen is complaining that the "democratic process isn't working" with regard to "global warming."  Mob rule only works when the mob is on your side.

 

A UN panel says that the world should get rid of the dollar as its reserve currency.  They're worried about inflation, considering that the Fed is spending another $1,000,000,000,000 that doesn't exist.

 

Bailed-out Bank of America is actually paying for people to see a movie.

 

Some of the companies that have received bailouts owe back taxes.  Why should it matter for them if it didn't matter for the guy who's in charge of the IRS?

 

The House is working on a bill to slap a 90% tax on the AIG bonuses, which is just asking for a challenge in court.  This is ultimately going to harm the economy, and AIG.  House Republicans tried to bring up a bill yesterday to try to get the AIG money back, and Democrats opposed it.  It's all about power, and it's all about deflecting attention from the Democrats' failures, and it's working, since 76% of Americans think that the execs should be forced to give the money back.

 

Obama has backed off his plan to make veterans pay for their own healthcare.

 

Democrats are trying to expand the Community Reinvestment Act to apply to credit unions.  If this works, they'll be the next ones looking for a bailout.

 

The Colorado State House joined this asinine and unconstitutional movement to elect the President by popular vote.

 

Obama might use a parliamentary tactic to railroad his socialized medicine and cap-and-trade plans through Congress by taking out any chance for the opposition to be heard.

 

Obama is going to bring back amnesty this summer.  It'll happen this time, folks.  After all, Nancy Pelosi says that work site raids to enforce immigration law are un-American.

 

Guantanamo Bay detainees may be released in the United States.  Remember this if another Islamic terrorist attack happens.

 

Even in Great Britain there are some opinion writers begging for the market to take over health care again.

 

Here are some more details on the Blair Holt Gun Law that we've discussed on the show a few times.  I still don't think it'll go anywhere.

 

New Jersey is considering a ban on "Brazilian" bikini waxes.

 

The Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs has fined 30 more gas stations for "price gouging" after last fall's hurricanes.

 

Governor Perdue is warning about a big shortfall in Medicaid funding.  There are just too many people who think that they have a right to health care on your dime.

 

A day late and a dollar short, the Governor is about to sign a food safety bill that would make it a felony for a company to not report any test showing a food-borne disease to the state.

 

Your tax dollars are still going to pay for the Halls of Fame.

 

Idiots started shooting yesterday at the Watson Boulevard Wal-Mart.
