Feds Raising Phone Taxes

Falcon:

We now have the FCC raising taxes without the House of Representatives, so again Obama and crew shred the constitution.   Since when does the Constitution allow the FCC to raise taxes?

The taxes are going to be put on working peoples phone bills to pay for smart phones given to the unemployed by the Obama administration so they can learn how to type, do resumes’ and other job search activities; does anyone really think this is what the phones will actually be used for?  Only the government would be so dumb to think creating another entitlement crowd is the answer to job growth.  We already have a library network for taking care of this type of job search activity.  I guess recipients can sit on the couch at home and play games all day at taxpayer expense and that’s what will happen.

The Obama administration is creating another entitlement crowd and taxing the hard pressed working people to pay for it.  On top of that the firm getting the contract is a crony, big donor to the Obama campaign and will reap $100 million per month off the government supplying the phones.  Actually, it’s the Tracfone Company benefitting through its relationship with Obama.  Just as the democrats always accused the Bush administration of favoritism with Halliburton we have the Obama administration favoring big donor Tracfone something Obama said he would never do.

Remember this is the same President that said he would never play favorites as other administrations had done and of course this was an outright lie added to the others he’s told already, over the past four years.

Click Here: Bill Stevens, whose daughter attended Sandy Hook Elementary school, testified before a Working Group Public Hearing at the Connecticut State Capitol on gun violence prevention. Mr. Stevens told the committee about his daughter’s 5th grade friend at the school,

“Unfortunately, her friend’s little sister was murdered in Sandy Hook that day when lock-down and 911 were not enough to protect her from an evil person…Charlton Heston made the phrase “From my cold dead hands” famous and I am here to tell you today, you will take my ability to protect my Victoria from my cold dead hands.”

Obama: Falling Dollar & Fuel Prices

Falcon:

One of the main causes for the fuel prices going up is the dollar falling in value because the democrats believe, as Obama the way out of the recession is to just print more worthless dollars which does nothing but ruin the buying power of the dollar.  They are flooding the world with worthless dollars having no value and the worst is yet to come.

Of course this means it buys less at more cost for the consumer whom has taken it in the rear end from the democrats and Obama since 2008.  The administration has done nothing to help the middle class since 2008 but it rescured Wall Street and the big banks immediately.

While favoring unions with special interest benefits not available to the general work force which far out weighs the unions who paid for Obama’s victory with money and votes in return for special favors.

Without a doubt this administration is the most stagnat in the history of the United States.  Nothing or no one other than the rich, unions and other non-producers have benefitted from Obama and his false promises and of course those special interest on the fringes of society are also included in Obama’s chosen few.
