Taxpayer Grants

To paraphrase an old movie 'what we have here is a failure to communicate accurately'. Politicians, do-gooders and control freaks all want to slant things their way. Hence the reason for political correctness because it is just another way to hide or confuse the truth.

For generations Americans have been fooled, deluded and hoodwinked by our elected public servants through the use of their terminologies. One that comes immediately to mind is federal, state or local grant. These are usually used to fund projects that most taxpayers would object to supporting normally as useless wastes of money such as busways to nowhere, studying the way leaves fall from trees things of that nature. Wake up taxpayers there is no such thing as a federally, state or locally funded grant! There is only our tax money used to fund these useless projects under the euphemism of “grant”. I saw the pie chart on where our CT tax dollars are spent and started wondering how much of our tax dollars are spent under the guise of state grants for projects that otherwise wouldn't have been done because of their uselessness?

Connecticut is in the midst of a financial crisis and while financial transparency should be the rule of law for the state right now it is paramount that we the taxpayers know where every dollar they are taking from us is used. It should all be laid out in plain nonpolitical speech so that every taxpayer can understand and then all grants should be put to a popular vote at election time.

It is time that the elected public servants,their appointees and the state workers become completely accountable to the taxpayers of the state.

Also let's start calling the grants their correct name “Taxpayer Grants”.

Cold Heartless Dan Malloy

I am embarrassed to be a citizen of the State of Connecticut.  It is not because of the vote on the second amendment.  I am embarrassed that our state and myself are represented on the national and international level by Daneel Malloy. The governor of a state should be a person of high integrity high moral fiber, a person of compassion and humanity a person who puts others and the state before self and Dan Malloy has proved since the shooting at Sandy Hook he is none of these.  He has proved to be a self serving egotist who puts himself and his political agenda over and above the needs and the concerns of others specifically in this case the families who lost children, spouses and loved ones at the hands of a deranged lunatic.    Anyone who has lost a parent, a spouse or a sibling knows firsthand that pain, and the loss of a child is unbearable.  In the very beginning it helps to have people constantly around but after a week or so you need your privacy so you can grieve on your own, start trying to come to terms with the unimaginable.  Did Dan Malloy give these poor people any time to grieve?  A resounding NO is that answer.  He saw only his own political agenda and a way to use these grieving parents and survivors as his way into the national and international spotlight.  So while mouthing worthless platitudes and words of comfort that were nothing more then actors do on stage he for the four  months  since the incident has done nothing but use these poor people as a circus act in which he is the ringmaster.  Had he had one ounce of humanity or compassion in him he would have allowed these people the time to mourn, a time to be by themselves and their surviving loved ones.  But no he wouldn’t do the decent human thing because to do that would have removed him from the spotlight.  His political agenda would have had to wait a year maybe longer and people would have cooled down and he would not have the national and international spotlight on him the great Daneel Malloy.  Instead of allowing them to heal he risked these souls very sanity by not allowing them their time under professional care to deal with this unimaginable event to keep himself in the spotlight.  I would wager these poor souls don’t even know rationally what is happening.

It horrific to watch what he has done to these survivors.  I can only pray that over time they can find some peace and that Dan Malloy and other like him leave the survivors in peace to get the professional and personal help they need.

I also hope the nation and the world do not judge the citizens of Connecticut by the behavior of one cold hearted egoistical compassionless man we have the misfortune of having as governor.  

Regardless of your political leanings or your feeling on guns if you have a shred of humanity and compassion in you for the survivors of Sandy Hook you should be as disgusted and appalled at the behavior of Dan Malloy and the other politicians that worked with him as I am.

 

 

Gov. I luv Taxes Malloy

Governor (I luv taxes) Malloy is attempting to put another nail in the coffin of the American Dream with his plan of eliminating the motor vehicle tax collected by towns and cities.  While I detest paying taxes as much as anyone this tax was one of the last bastions of the American Dream in that it was collected and spent by the town, it was not thrown in to the general fund to provide for the vast black hole of state programs. 

The American Dream was to better yourself and your family and for a period during our countries history you were able to do this.  During that time people in smaller towns interpreted this to mean they could better their lives in their town by having a tax rate that allowed them to have better schools, police and other municipal services then in cities.  This attracted others to the smaller towns for the better and more personalized services they would get and yes their taxes may have been higher than if they stayed in the cities but they were following the American Dream and making a better life for themselves and their families and if it cost them more they accepted it. 

Fast forward to now.  Cities can no longer support themselves if they ever could.  Democratic politicians have enslaved generations of city dwellers to vote for them by fostering the belief that they are “entitled” to the same quality of municipal services that smaller towns have without having to be taxed at the rate needed for those services.  They did this by taxing the working people no matter where they live to pay for these erroneous entitlements.  Still cities are broke and it is getting worse so Gov. I luv taxes Malloy is trying to do an end around to get more money to pour down the black whole, because make no mistake if this passes you will still pay taxes on your motor vehicle because you will no longer have that deduction to take on your income taxes so you will pay you just won’t have a say in where the money is spent that you would have if it was left in your town.

Tell Gov I luv taxes Malloy that you LUV the American Dream call your state reps and tell them to vote against this and for the American Dream.

Ignore the U.S. Constitution?

Maybe since obama doesn’t care about the U.S. Constitution we should ignore it too and say if you never worked and chose welfare as a career you don’t get to vote.

Last time Christmas sales were this low was 2008.  Wow wasn’t hussein obama elected then?  Now 4 years later he’s re-elected and the economy takes another dive.  Just proving that most obama voter don’t support the economy they just take from it.  A sign of the end of a civilization is when people find they can vote themselves money and who do you think elected obama and the democrats.  Welfare recipients!  

Remember Kent State

Remember the Kent State Massacre? 7 unarmed innocent US college students gunned down and killed by the US Military for exercising their 1st Amendment Right of Freedom of Speech? I wonder how much more of that we would see if they take away the 2nd Amendment? Maybe it's the government that shouldn't have the weapons? Didn't Lincoln say “a government by the people, for the people and of the people”? Nowhere did he or any of our Fathers say “government over the people, a government to control the people” That was never said. The government is suppose to be subservient to the people not the other way around and the 2nd Amendment was our Forefathers way of protecting future generations.

Defend the Constitution

I'm a vet and the biggest threat I see is the ignoring of the Constitution by elected public servants. The Constitution is what we vets swore to defend not a foreign country but THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUITION!!!!

Dan Malloy inept Governor

Once again Dannel Malloy (Danny boy) has shown his ineptitude as governor.  Being a governor means being a leader, being the person who exudes a calmness  an overall aurora that a situation will work out well and correctly.  Gov. Christie of NJ is that type of person.  Before during and after Sandy he remained calm, he stated calmly it was dangerous however  if you followed the orders of emergency personnel you would be fine.  After the storm he took the time to calm the children of the state along with their parents by advising parents and adults to tell the children words to the effect of ‘everything will be fine,  this is an adult problem and the adults are taking care of it’.  That is a leader.

Danny Boy on the other hand fed the panic and hysteria by declaring, words to the effect of ‘this could be the greatest loss of life in history, this is the worst storm in history’ definitely not a leader.  Then he couldn’t make up his mind and issued contradictory statements one of which was “the highways will be closed when the sustained winds reach 45mph”  I was checking NOAA for Ansonia and Cheshire also Windsor and at no time did they call for sustained winds over 39mph. Yet within the hour of issuing that statement he closed the highways I don’t think gusts had even reached that speed.  Then he ordered emergency personnel to stay indoors because it was dangerous.  Unless I’m mistaken the basic underlying theme of the job of emergency personnel is that it is a dangerous job in dangerous conditions and they are trained for it and volunteer for it.  A leader would have let those trained for a job do it.

In my opinion we have an inept coward for a Governor.  It is no wonder the state is in the financial situation it is in.  Danny boy does nothing more than talk to cause division in the state and raise taxes.   I just hope that if he does try to run again the people will remember this storm his lack of leadership and how he fed the hysteria and panic and make sure he doesn’t get another term
