Did Income Taxes Factor Into LeBron’s Decision?

I can hear every Cavalier fan screaming foul, but before they settle their sights on LeBron as  the "defector" they need to look at the reasons why he made the move in the first place. What it boils down to is simply a matter of economics. Florida does not have a state income tax so Mr. James will get to keep about one million more dollars per year than anywhere else he may have gone.

State income taxes are an additional burden that is slowing economic recovery. Raising income taxes is never a good idea, even in a robust economy, simply because it take money out of circulation. If the government has it, the people don't and hence neither do the retailers or banks. And the government don't have it either because right after they collect it, it gets handed over to the Federal Reserve System to pay down the interest on the debt.

But instead of reducing the tax burden on its citizens, the Obama Administration and the Democratic socialists in Washington are going to tax you on those medical benefits that you receive (if you are fortunate to have employer-paid medical coverage) by including the employer's contribution as part of your income.

So how is that change working for you now? While the headlines are filled with LeBron James' defection to Miami, Lindsay Lohan's incarceration, and of course the devastating oil leak off the Gulf coast, Washington has been hard at work passing legislation that all or in part will deny the citizens more civil liberties and require more rights given up for the sake of what? Reducing the costs of medical care? How? By raising more taxes on what you earn?

I have to get back to this issue again, but I am open to suggestions as to what we can do to stop the ebb of rights and the destruction of the United States from within. And I am still not convinced that Barak Hussein Obama has Constitution authorization to hold the office of President of the United States.


But that is a minor problem in all the problems we now face and must overcome to remain a sovereign nation.

The Cowboy Solution to save Gasoline

I received an email yesterday from a very good friend of mine, who is in addition to being a very patriotic American, is a man with common sense and ethics. He also possesses a wonderful sense of humor.

OBAMA wants
us to cut the amount of gasoline we use.....

The
best way to stop using so

much Gasoline is to

deport 20 million

illegal immigrants!

That
would be 20 million less people

using our gas.

The price
of gas would come down.....

Bring our troops

home from Afghanistan to

guard the borders....

When
they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the
Border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Afghanistan ....
 

Tell
him if he wants to come to AMERICA then he must serve a tour in OUR military....

Give
him a soldier's pay while he's there

and tax him on it......

After
his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country.....

He
will also be registered to be taxed and

be a legal resident.....

This
option will probably deter illegal

immigration and provide a
solution for the troops in

Afghanistan

and the aliens trying
to make a better life for themselves....

If
they refuse to serve, ship them to

Afghanistan anyway, without the

canteen, rifle or ammo.....

Problem solved.....

If
you think this is a good solution to both the problems,share it
with your friends.

Obama attacks GOP over vision for the country

So The President says, "Their prescription for every challenge is pretty much the same - and I don't think I'm exaggerating here: basically cut taxes for the wealthy, cut rules for corporations and cut working folks loose to fend for themselves."

So his party wants to raise taxes on the wealthy, which coming from poverty and entitlements, that includes everyone that earns a wage, so they can give more to those that deserve it the least.  


It amazes me that so many college educated people in government thought that by spending more money, they would be helping the economy. Now I am not getting on Democrats and Obama, as there were bailouts that began during the last Bush administration, so Republicans are not blameless. They too must be held accountable for their actions.


And as I listened to another sound bite of Obama claiming that he has created jobs and the unemployment rate is starting to fall, it occurred to me  that the jobs that he is talking about are government jobs, mostly those temporary census jobs that pay very well, depending on where you live it has been reported (confirmed source) that it can be as high as $17.75 per hour.


I cannot see how Americans can still support the "changes" that are taking place now. I guess if you are on welfare and want to remain there, Obama and the Democrats are your saviors, but for the rest of Americans that take responsibility to provide for  the needs of their own, it has been nothing less than a horror story, a nightmare come true.


When will Americans stop voting for the two parties that get us into these messes decade after decade? When will YOU make a difference with your vote? I was told last Presidential election that a vote for a third-party candidate is as good as a vote for Obama. I want to make it clear right now this in not true. A vote for the candidate that I feel best suited for the job can never be the wrong thing to do.


Now I would like to offer a challenge: On election day this coming November,  vote only for candidates that are not Democrats or Republicans. And do not vote for any incumbent candidates as they too need replacements with fresh faces. If Americans rally and do this then it will change the Congressional Branch of government at once. And if there are any incumbents or Dems or Reps that do get elected, I would then investigate the elections board for fraud.
