Republicans Join Democrats Supporting Colossal Tax Increase
Lamar Alexander and Dick Durbin, the Tax Tag Team
Mark Alexander Publisher, The Patriot Post March 15, 2012 |
Under cover of the Republican Presidential Primary debates about how to defeat Barack Hussein Obama's socialist agenda and his plan to fund the final chapter of that agenda with enormous tax increases, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN, no relation!) and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) have teamed up to promote one of the largest tax increases in U.S. history -- a heavy levy on all Internet sales.
The so-called "Marketplace Fairness Act" S. 1832 was first proposed in November 2011 by Sen. Michael Enzi (R-WY), and now awaits action in the Committee on Finance. (And you thought all that "fairness" rhetoric was limited to leftists promoting Democratic Socialism.)
Some otherwise erudite conservative senators, such as my friend Bob Corker, have joined Alexander in this errant folly. They are backing the Republican version of the legislation because it is allegedly better than the Democrat version. For the record, I do not consider that to be a legitimate selling point.

This is exactly what I've been saying! You want another so called republican... just vote for Romney the white Obummer. Civil war is on the way. If we don't take back this country all out civil war will break out and our own children that are in service will be called on to kill their parents and neighbors. Get ready it's coming!
A little taste of whats to come. Just go ahead and tighten your belt.
WE MUST STOP THESE PROGESSIVES NOW.PLEASE GET TOGETHER AND VOTE THESE MORONS OUT OF THIER OFFICE,THEVE BEEN THERE TO LONG AS WITH ALL THESE CAREER IDIOTS.
Tea Party take note! Lets get after these weasels, vote 'em out! Let 'em know that WE know what they're doing and that we're going after anyone that votes for this and that we'll make sure they're thrown out of office.
With Republican control of the House, how about supporting a NO tax increases version.
You know, the government could solve its debt problem by cutting almost all regulations (and the government that supports it) - the freed economy would take off like a rocket. Give the states, say, six months to enact or copy whatever regs they want, then the regs all go away. Deal with entitlement as well. The size and scope of gov't MUST be reduced or we die.
