High Water Bills

Falcon:

I know people in WB pay high water bills but here in Burlington it is outright theft by local government.  I have a friend that lives alone and his new quarterly water bill totaled out at $280 and change.  This is one person living in a large house who would use at most no more water than a one bathroom home regardless of how many bathrooms or rooms may be in the house.  Burlington city management hasn’t yet figured out it’s people that use water and not rooms or freestanding toilets.

Burlington uses the water, sewer, trash bill to steal from the people in order to over pay city employees and provide them with free benefits, prop-up incapable city management and fund their dreams of grandeur that are never successful.

To stop the tax on utilities people had better vote no on the loosely termed Franchise Fee, actually a tax on already excessively high utility rates in Iowa, and don’t forget they can then raise it to 5% down the road and we all know that will happen in this poorly run city of Burlington.

Behind the Scene with Spineless Do-Nothings

Falcon:

Here’s a good behind the scenes look at what has been going on behind our backs to get another worthless immigration bill to waste taxpayer money on by our deadbeat congress and executive branches.  The same methods used to pass the health care bill were used for the immigration bill.  The gang of eight was nothing more than an extension of the Obama doctrine of brow beating bills though a simple minded dimwitted easily bought off congress of professional loafers and deadbeats earning a living off taxpayers.

The name of the game in Washington is bribery, deceit, payoffs, flip-flops and a host of other crooked methods utilized by our representation to force another worthless bill down taxpayer’s throats.  This bill is just another example of pure charades that goes on in Washington and the White House.   How many times do these worthless bureaucrats have to pass another un-enforced immigration bill when none of the other immigration bills have ever been enforced; so what makes anyone think this one will be because we’re still dealing with the deadbeats that passed the last un-enforced bill in 1986.  Our government is making fools out of all of us time and time again because American people don’t have the guts to vote the losers out of office.  Americans vote party rather than honesty, integrity and what’s best for the country because they constantly believe the lies these professional congressmen tell them such as, “I’ll clean up the mess in Washington” when they’re the ones that created the mess in Washington.  The best solution is to put in term limits of one or two terms and their out for good and a fifteen year wait before they can be hired to work in government again or lobby. That would be a good start at stopping the corruption and sickness these professional congressmen have infested Washington with.

Below is the oath they take before starting their terms of office and does anyone think they uphold this oath?  Snowden has more honesty and integrity than our congressmen.  The word domestic in this oath means right here in America and our government has become an enemy of the people by passing such laws as this new immigration law along with the healthcare law and a host of others that weaken our country, specially spying on Americans for what Snowden spoke of and why the government is so bitter about him because unlike the government he spoke the truth because he interrupted the government as a domestic enemy of the people by spying on them.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

One could also ask about the oath Obama took that he seldom follows in his roughshod tin horn dictatorship as he bypasses the congress on just about every decision he makes through mandates and executive orders, while the congress hasn’t the guts to stand up to him by just cutting off his funding for which he has no power.  We are governed by a bunch of spineless do nothings who are in Washington for nothing more than lining their pockets.
