Status Quo

Posted
Editor, Times-Union:
Looking forward to four more years of the status quo? Are you sure we can afford it?

Taxes, taxes, taxes, spend, spend, spend, jobs ... jobs ... jobs.

Sixteen thousand new IRS agents at $50,000 to $100,000 per year. Do the math. Also, add the total salaries of 90 unapproved appointments by the president (from Coral Ridge Ministries).

Then the continuing appointment of more czars and we the taxpayers better get prepared to shell out more of our cash.

Add to that the cost of the federal courts blocking a ban on Shariah Law in the state of Oklahoma and trials that will take place that only the wealthy can afford to fight against.

Add to that additional tax money to host more White House steak dinners for the president and his Muslim friends. The $850,000 traveling expense for the first lady’s family vacations in many parts of the world.

Taxes, the ones we will be taxed for in 2013 ... death tax, marriage tax, extra taxes on successful businesses, etc.

Imagine the expenses to sue the state of Arizona for doing (protecting their borders) what the president promised to do at his inauguration. How do we trust people that don’t keep their promises?

Wake up, Warsaw; wake up, Indiana; wake up, America. If we love our country under God we better make sure we vote and make some changes in the personal in Washington and the direction of our country is going.
