Letter to the Editor: by Jon Arnold

The following is a letter to the editor written by our new friend Jon Arnold...in it he touches on several key issues for conservatives.

Dear Editor, 
   In recent weeks Mr. Ray Peck has had multiple letters published in our local paper.  He lists himself from Helena and thus I am not sure why he feels the need to submit his opinion to the residents of Granite County.  However, given his multiple questions within his letters I would like to take a moment to move past political punditry, and focus not on a tautological opinion, but on an educated analysis.
     Mr. Peck implied that "right wing folks back east" have complained of being maligned by the process used to pass health care reform, which I might add, is not health care reform,

If This Vortex Doesn't Slow Down

My first book, "If This Vortex Doesn't Slow Down", was originally started as a personal diary to help me define and work through problems in my life. As I continued to pour my heart out on the pages it grew into much more than that. In this book you will find how I overcame all obstacles to rise above an abusive world, take back my life and liberty and then set my sites on sending the message that we CAN restore our nation as well.

The book, "If This Vortex Doesn't Slow Down", is available through these online book stores.

What does America really think about all this???

"Smart Growth America" has just released the results of it's national opinion survey titled "Building for the 21st Century: America's Support for Sustainable Communities"

This poll showed some startling results if you only listen to Mainstream Media and the Government line. The biggest surprise is that the general public wants the government, regardless of political affiliation, to stop spending money the country doesn't have, become more energy independent, and support the growth of communities.


 In the Overview of this report it is also noted that:


"A recent poll by Smart Growth America has found that in the midst of a struggling
U.S. economy, support for smart growth strategies remains high among Americans
on both sides of the aisle.
The poll focused specifically on support for sustainable communities: urban,
suburban or rural communities that have more housing and transportation choices,
are closer to jobs, shops or schools, are more energy independent and help protect
clean air and water. Making communities more sustainable means generating more
jobs, lowering housing and transportation costs and using limited public funds more
wisely."

...and see what else America thinks about the state of our country!

What Public Employee Leaders Could Be Saying (But Aren't)

What Public Employee Leaders Could Be Saying (But Aren't)

March 9, 2011     (Mobile version)


Public employees and their leaders could publicly recognize the structural and demographic changes in the U.S. economy, and vow to tax the top 1% instead of supporting terribly regressive junk fees and sales tax increases on the working poor and the middle class tax donkeys who pay most of the taxes. The fact that they refuse to acknowledge these realities and refuse to take on the Financial Elites speaks volumes.
Here's what representatives of public-sector unions and public employees could be saying, instead of what they are saying:

There are over 20 million Federal, state and local government employees, and about 106 million private sector workers. We work for you, and for the good of our communities and of the nation. That is a big responsibility. Back in the stock market bubble of 1995 to 1999, our wages, pensions and benefits were "sweetened," sometimes administratively and sometimes with voter approval. In the years since, what looked at the time like it would be paid by stock market gains rather than additional taxes has been revealed as wishful thinking.
We recognize that the U.S. economy has changed structurally, and it cannot return to 1999. We also recognize that the demographics of the nation have irrevocably changed since 1999, and thus it is wrong to burden future workers with pension and benefit costs which only made sense in an era of stock prices rising 10% or more annually.
In response to the shortfall between what we were granted in 1995-1999 and what the "new normal" recessionary economy can support, state and local governments have aggressively raised the most terribly regressive taxes: junk fees--parking tickets, vehicle license fees, and so on--and sales taxes.
These taxes are paid by everyone, rich and poor alike, and so they are deeply regressive.
Most of the Federal and state income taxes are paid by upper-middle class workers and small business, including sole proprietors and independent contractors. Almost 40% of all workers--those with lower incomes--pay no income tax at all. The top 1%, meanwhile, pay on average about 17% of their income in total taxes--less than half the rate paid by upper-middle class wage earners.
We understand that roughly two-thirds of the nation's households are measurably poorer in income and assets than they were a few short years ago. We understand that gains in productivity have not flowed to the incomes of most private-sector workers, but have instead flowed to the top via corporate profits and bonuses to the top slice of private-sector employees.
We also understand that the American workforce is aging, and that demographics are dictating that we as a nation need to work longer if our retirement plans are to remain solvent.
In recognition of these realities, we in the public sector are voluntarily renouncing all the "sweeteners" which were awarded during the bubble years of 1995-1999, as they have been revealed as unaffordable. Our retirement and benefits will revert to the base year of 1995, before the bubble distorted the system and the economy, and be adjusted for inflation since then as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
In recognition of the nation's demographic realities, we are moving our retirement age up to those of the Social Security system: 62 for reduced benefits and 67 for full retirement benefits.
We understand that raising "stealth taxes" via junk fees and highly regressive sales taxes places great burdens on households which are already straining to make ends meet.
As a result, we are putting our political weight behind an alternative way to bolster state and local government finances: "make the top 1% pay the same tax rate as the rest of us." If the top 1% paid the same 40% rate as higher-income workers pay, then that would only be equitable.
We will also fight to reverse the regressive increases in sales taxes and junk fees which have been imposed on those least able to afford more taxes.
The super-wealthy--those households with incomes above $1 million annually, and with financial assets above $5 million-- are the most politically powerful group in the nation, and so getting them to pay the same tax rates as we pay will be a difficult battle. They own or control the political class, the tax attorneys, the tax-avoidance scams and the offshore accounts.
But taking more money from households who are struggling to get by with highly regressive taxes and junk fees is simply wrong, just as it is unjust that the super-wealthy avoid paying the same tax rates that ordinary workers pay.
We ask for your support in this campaign to reverse regressive taxes and make the top 1% pay the same tax rate as the rest of us.

What is not being said is this: public employees are dependent on, and benefit from, the State's monopoly to collect taxes and fees via coercion. Private-sector workers cannot rely on a coercive monopoly to extract their wages from others. This is the key difference between the public and private sectors. To the degree that junk fees and taxes have been raised administratively by a political class that is beholden to the super-wealthy Financial Elites and cartel-State fiefdoms, then the imposition of regressive junk fees and other taxes is taxation without representation, i.e. tyranny.
Public employees benefit from this tyranny, private-sector workers do not. That is a key difference between the two.
Given that the political class only represents cartel-State fiefdoms and Financial Elites, then the only taxes which aren't a form of tyranny are those approved by voters.
While there is always a danger of "the tyranny of the majority" in the ballot box, it is certainly less tyrannical than administratively imposing regressive taxes and exorbitant junk fees on the working poor and the middle class tax donkeys.
The consent of the governed (and thus of the taxed) can be revoked at any time.

** A MESSAGE FROM THE TEA PARTY EXPRESS **

Senator Olympia Snowe is popular among her Democrat friends in the U.S. Senate, and gets along great with other big-government liberals.

When Harry Reid need help getting ObamaCare passed, she came to his aid.  She supported and voted for liberal Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagen and Sonia Sotomayor.  President Obama has praised her, and the far left group Americans United for Change ran a TV ad thanking her for helping pass Obama’s $800 billion bailout.

There’s just one problem.  Olympia Snowe is not a Democrat.  That’s right, Snowe has made a career out of trampling all over conservatives while calling herself a Republican.

If this sounds bizarre, don’t worry – you’re not alone. Many in the media are wondering why Olympia Snowe still claims to be a Republican.  The Atlantic writes: “Snowe has established a reputation as one of the least reliable Republican votes in the Senate.” An article in Slate recently said, “Joining the Democrats wouldn't force Snowe to change her voting habits too much and it would liberate her from the increasingly uncompromising demands of the GOP base.” Even the Washington Post speculated that she may switch sides like Benedict Arnold Arlen Specter, asking, “What are Snowe's options? One possibility would be for Snowe to defect to the Democratic Party.”

We at Tea Party Express have no respect for career politicians like Snowe who claim to represent us, but stab us in the back every chance they get.  That is why we have launched a campaign to Shovel Snowe Out of the Senate!

Our message to these politicians is this:  You Failed, So You're Fired.

You can support our campaign to "Defeat Olympia Snowe" by making the best contribution you can - CLICK HERE to CONTRIBUTE.
You can contribute as little as $5 all the way up to the maximum allowed $5,000.  And since we're in a new election cycle, those of you who had previously "maxed out" are once again able to contribute as much as you'd like - all the way up to that $5,000 maximum.
To contribute, just click the button below.  To meet our goal we need to raise $14,200 more this week to "Defeat Olympia Snow" and so we still need 107 more patriots such as yourself can afford a more generous contribution of $100, $250, $500, $1,000 or more.

As always, if you prefer, you may also make a contribution via mail, by sending a check to:
