Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump
continued to impress supporters earlier this year at a rally in Sioux
City, Iowa, when he walked off stage to talk directly to a wounded
veteran about his current health care situation.
First Sgt. Todd Landen was about to ask Trump a question and before
he could even ask it, Trump said he had to get a closer look at Landen
and his family. Trump walked off stage and up to Landen and complimented
him on his beautiful family.
Landen then asked Trump how he would change care for veterans if he became president.
“It’s mass care. They’re just shuffling us out and crunching numbers,
I think,” Landen said. “The real struggle is what insurance do I use?
I’m 100 percent disabled, the VA is supposed to take care of my medical
bills, but I have to go to a hospital 100 miles away.”
Trump said he would put pressure on the Department of Veterans
Affairs “like you wouldn’t believe. As president, I can guarantee it. As
Trump, I can probably say, I’m going to be able to pull it off anyway,”
he said, according to CNN.
While Landen and his wife have never caucused in Iowa before, they said they planned on supporting Trump on Feb. 1.
“Every time I’ve seen Donald Trump, he’s mentioned veterans,” Landen
said. “I haven’t seen that from every candidate. And today I sure didn’t
expect him to come recognize me in front of the crowd.”
This is the kind of move that sets Trump apart from the rest of the
candidates — displays a genuine concern for veterans that many people
respect and believe they deserve. Do you support Donald Trump? Like the page:
Trump has amassed a type of loyalty among his supporters
that hasn’t been seen in recent political history and that loyalty goes
beyond what the media, liberals and those in the Republican
establishment can understand, much less tackle.

Just a fact Jack...no ands ifs or buts about it...from climate control through gun control it's not about saving humanity from the dreaded whatever... it's all about taxing the people to death whilst the elite idiots in DC and the world as well... ie: The morons at the UN pad their collective portfolios with the hard earned income of Middle America!
addendum...have y'all had enough of
big government yet? Let's get real, taxes are what started the US
Revolution ...hello Boston Tea Party?...what is going on now is 1000
times worse than the original cause for the colonists to revolt...have
ya ever looked at your phone bill?...federal taxes and surcharges added
for what?.. sin taxes on cigaretts and alcohol, where does this money
go? To help who pray tell?...oh wait it goes into the general fund just
like Social Security and Medicare...to fund special interest agendas
and back room kick back deals...making our useless congressional
representatives quite wealthy! What we the people need to do ...short of
another Revolutionary War is remove all those in congress who do not
represent we the people but special interest groups and their personal
bank accounts...let's take out the trash 2016 forward...that would be 80
% of congress...also elect a true 'Republic' POTUS who represents all
the people...we need a fresh start...or a new revolution will
undoubtedly ensue!
George Harrison was inspired to write the song “Taxman” (Revolver album,
1966). The Beatles were making a ton of money, but because of Britain’s
“progressive” income tax, most of their earnings were being taken in
taxes. As Harrison said, “‘Taxman’ was when I first realised that even
though we had started earning money, we were actually giving most of it
away in taxes.”
Harrison’s “Taxman” became a widely disseminated commentary on the confiscatory nature of governments. You can read the lyrics here. Here’s a video version showing Harrison with Eric Clapton singing it.
In the spirit of Harrison’s song, I’m posting the following from an anonymous author. Enjoy it and remember in November.
Tax his land, tax his bed,
Tax the table at which he’s fed.
Tax his tractor, tax his mule,
Teach him taxes are the rule.
Tax his cow, tax his goat,
Tax his pants, tax his coat.
Tax his ties, tax his shirt,
Tax his work, tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco, tax his drink.
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his cigars, tax his beers,
If he cries, then tax his tears
Tax his car, tax his gas,
Find other ways to tax his ass.
Tax all he has, then let him know That you won’t be done ’til he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers,
Tax him some more.
Tax his air
Tax his water
Tax his/her sex
Tax him ’till he’s good and sore.
Then tax his coffin, tax his grave.
Tax the sod in which he’s laid.
Put these words upon his tomb,
“Taxes drove me to my doom.”
When he’s gone, do not relax.
It’s time to apply the inheritance tax
The latest Tax Scams by the Obama Administration:
Paris Climate Deal Calls for America to Transfer Wealth to ‘Developing’ Countries
The draft of the international agreement to deal with climate change,
which is being considered today in Paris by representatives from 195
countries, calls for the developed nations of the world (which include
the United States) to transfer wealth to developing nations, including
through “public funds.”
“Developed country Parties shall provide financial resources to
assist developing country Parties with respect to both mitigation and
adaptation in continuation of their existing obligations under the
Convention,” says Article 9 of the draft agreement.
“As part of a global effort, developed country Parties should
continue to take the lead in mobilizing climate finance from a wide
variety of sources, instruments and channels, noting the significant
role of public funds,” says the draft.
The draft agreement sets a goal for developed countries to dole out at least $100 billion per year by 2020.
The agreement at one point says: “Resolves to enhance the provision
of urgent and adequate finance, technology and capacity-building support
by developed country Parties in order to enhance the level of ambition
of pre-2020 action by Parties, and in this regard strongly urges
developed country Parties to scale up their level of financial support,
with a concrete roadmap to achieve the goal of jointly providing USD 100
billion annually by 2020 for mitigation and adaptation while
significantly increasing adaptation finance from current levels and to
further provide appropriate technology and capacity-building support.”

Dems Push to Raise Taxes on Guns, Ammo
Two House Democrats have introduced legislation that would increase the
federal excise tax on guns and rifles, and would also raise taxes on
ammunition.
The bill is the latest Democratic effort to reduce access to guns, a
step they say is needed to reduce gun violence around the country.
The legislation, from Reps. Danny Davis, D-Ill., and Bill Pascrell,
D-N.J., appears to be a reintroduction of plan they proposed in the last
Congress. That bill would have roughly doubled the federal excise tax
on guns and rifles to 20 percent, and would have imposed a 50 percent
excise tax on ammunition.
A description of both bills say the aim is to “amend the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 to increase the excise tax and special occupational
tax in respect of firearms.”

One of the main criticisms of Donald Trump’s proposed moratorium on
Muslim immigration is that it’s unconstitutional. For example,
Republican presidential candidate and law graduate Marco Rubio said that
the plan “violates the Constitution” earlier this week.
However, two notable law professors
— Jan C. Ting of Temple University and Eric Posner of the University
of Chicago — say those critics are wrong and possibly don’t know much
about legal history.
Ting, a professor at Temple University’s School of Law and a former
Immigration and Naturalization Services commissioner for the Department
of Justice, explained to The Daily Caller that Trump’s plan is in
keeping with over a hundred years of legal precedent.
“No kind of immigration restriction is unconstitutional,” Ting told TheDC. “The U.S. government can exclude a foreign national on any basis.”
