The Other 95%

Well apparently there is a new group that is trying to shut down the voice of Americans and in particular those involved in the Tea Party movement. A new website called The Other 95% are going around spewing outright lies in an attempt to discredit them.

First for a little background, please watch this video for a small reminder.

This video can't be anymore clear than what you hear. "Not any of your taxes". Bull! Just in my school district alone, our property taxes were raised $1.79 per $1,000.00 value by our school district because of budget shortfalls. How many of you know someone who goes to a tanning salon? Did you know those people will now have to pay an additional 10% tax beginning July 1st? If you use a flexible spending account through your employer, you are also going to be limited as to how much pre-tax money you can put in it. The list goes on and on, but I won't bore you with that. If you want to know what they are, go look them up for yourself (and no, don't just go to whitehouse.gov and call it gospel).

C'mon the list is just growing and growing. You may not be receiving too many tax increases but those people that give you a paycheck are, and guess what that means. YOU LOSE! Oh and lets not forget about those favorite toys or clothes you have, yep the price on those is going to go up too because the president is taxing the crap out of them.

Don't be mad at the businesses for raising the costs to you, they are in business to make money. You may not think that's fair, but that's what it's all about. And I'd be willing to bet if you were in their shoes you'd do the same exact thing.
