Flat tax by politicians- I'm for it! SamKat

Dear Sam,



A significant amount of attention during this campaign has focused on simplifying the tax code. There is no question that our tax code has become a burden to the American people and must be reformed. In our 21st Century Contract With America, we address tax simplification in a way that is both bold and pragmatic. As Speaker of the House of Representatives, I led the effort to reform welfare, resulting in 66% of those on welfare getting a job or going to school. So I know what it takes to actually pass historic reforms. The 21st Century Contract With America has a tax simplification plan that I am uniquely qualified to pass through Congress. Here is the plan you have helped us develop:



All tax filers would be given the option to pay their income taxes under the current income tax provisions or choose to pay income taxes under a lower single rate of taxation of 15% or less with limited deductions.



This optional flat tax reform could save taxpayers more than an estimated $400 billion in compliance costs each year such as record keeping, paying for tax advice, and filling out complicated tax returns. This savings doesn't even account for eliminating the countless hours of aggravation and worry and the sheer complexity of tax compliance. These tax compliance savings are the functional equivalent of a permanent, pro-growth tax cut and will provide a substantial boost to our annual growth rate.



This faster, flatter, fairer tax structure would also be simple: tax returns could be done on a single page. Subtract from your income a standard deduction and deductions for charity and home ownership, multiply the result by the fixed single rate of taxation of 15% or less, and the process is over. Gone will be the stressful hours spent figuring out whether you qualify for this or that deduction. No more headaches trying to determine where estimated tax payments go. Tax preparation fees could be money spent on something more rewarding.



Such an optional flat tax system would create a new standard deduction, which would be above the established poverty level, meaning an optional flat tax would not unfairly target the poor. And because the flat tax is optional, it does not raise taxes on a single person or unfairly impact seniors or lower income workers.



Once we combine these pro-growth tax reforms with my other reform proposals for welfare reform, social security, and lower spending contained in the 21st Century Contract with America, we will experience a stunning and swift turnaround in the economy.



It is realistic proposals like this that are causing this campaign to surge. This is a campaign based on big ideas and grassroots support. I remain honored and humbled by your continued support of this historic campaign!



Sincerely,



Newt Gingrich

Chaplains refuse Pentagon directions ... Thanks Sonny!

Thousands of Chaplains Refusing Pentagon Directive



On September 30, 2011, the Pentagon issued a directive to all military chaplains to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies and to make military chapels available for any such private ceremonies.



In response to the Pentagon directive, the Catholic Archdiocese for Military Service issued a statement that no Catholic chaplains serving in the military will perform or participate in any same-sex marriage ceremonies at any military chapels. In conjunction with the Catholic response, members of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty have issued a statement indicating that they will also not participate in performing same-sex ceremonies.



The Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty represents over 2,000 military chaplains. Serving as a military chaplain for 28 years, now retired Col. Ron Crews, executive director of the organization said,



“They made a very strong statement saying that no Catholic chaplains serving in the military will participate in any same-sex ceremonies at any chapels. We appreciate that strong stand. So we just wanted to let the Department of Defense know that it’s not only the Catholic chaplains, but that some 2,000 chaplains who come from evangelical backgrounds are saying our chaplains will not participate in same-sex ceremonies in the military.”



Col. Crews also said that they are petitioning Congress to pass a right of conscience clause to be added to the revised code allowing military chaplains the right of not being forced to conduct or be involved in any activity, such as performing same-sex marriage ceremonies, that goes against their religious beliefs and what they strongly believe the Bible to say about homosexuality.



I agree with the actions being taken by the Catholic and evangelical chaplains groups in making a stand for biblical principles. The Bible teaches us to be submissive to those placed in authority over us, but it also stipulates that to do so as long as it does not go against the will of God. First and foremost we are required to remain faithful and true to what God says in the Bible and then to those in authority over us. And in the case of same-sex ceremonies, the chaplains are following the directions from God and refusing to perform ceremonies that according to the Bible would be an abomination



I stand and salute all the military chaplains taking this stand, knowing that it could cost them their military careers and pensions. I also will continue to pray for them for wisdom and stamina in what is sure to become a military and congressional battle.

Just home from church at Xenos- SamKat

Just home ... SamKat

Proverbs-  The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord.  Xenos Cafe' Church has been in Proverbs one for four weeks.  Awesome teaching or Awe is a better word than fear to me.  We can accept or reject.

I have chosen to accept as so many Christians have done all over this world.    Many are being challenged for those beliefs and need the strength of the Lord to obtain more wisdom along with the courage coming from the knowledge.

I also believe in the Tea Party politics because I am not a lifelong Republican.  There are the rich socialists who are sponsoring the Wall Street gang who want to discredtit Tea Party at every step.  I believe courage must be sought by each of us in advising all that we intend to vote this traitor out of our presidency.

There will be community organizers spurred on by o, biden, and the ilk of those kinds who support islamic terrorists more than honest citizens of the USA.  I am with the honest citizens and I want to have Christian courage every step of the remaining years God grants me here on earth.

Subject: A chuckle





President Obama walks into the Bank of America and says to a cashier, "Good morning Ma'am, could you please cash this check for me"?



Cashier:

"It would be my pleasure sir. Could you please show me your ID"?



Obama:

"Truthfully, I did not bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need to. I am President Barrack Obama, the president of the United States.”



Cashier:

"Yes sir, I know who you are, but with all the Government regulations, monitoring of the banks because of imposters and forgers, etc., I must insist on seeing ID."



Obama:

"Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am.."



Cashier:

"I am sorry, but these are government and bank rules and I must follow them."



Obama:

"I am urging you please to cash this check."



Cashier:

"Look, this is what we can do: One day Tiger Woods came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Tiger Woods he pulled out his putting iron and made a beautiful shot across the bank lobby into a cup. With that shot we knew him to be Tiger Woods and we cashed his check."



"Another time, Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racquet and served an ace shot directly into the center of our bank logo 90 feet away. With that spectacular shot we cashed his check. So, what can you do to prove that it is you, and only you?"



Obama stood there thinking, and thinking and finally says:

"Honestly, nothing comes to mind. I can't think of a single thing I can do."



Cashier:

"Will that be large or small bills, Mr.. President?"

Very Un-Presidential behavior ... Thanks Luis Flores!

Very Un-Presidential behavior






I’m not entirely sure this is a true video. There is a little blurb just before he kicks the door. This could be a fake?

But it is funny!!!



Looks like the "great whiner" also behaves like a spoiled brat when he doesn't get his way. Some professional, huh?

Bet you won't see this on network TV? No, you won't and never will. Do you suppose the prostituted news media would have had this aired had Bush done this?

Very Un-Presidential Behavior

Now this is mature...

Oh my-----this must make the Obama lovers proud





Obama abruptly stormed out of a meeting with Congressional leaders after Cantor told the president that Republicans would not vote for his proposed tax hikes.



Obama picked up his toys and stormed out of the meeting, kicking the door open.

what a kick!!!

Ineptocracy ... A good word, Luis Flores!

Ineptocracy



This word and definition should be on each ballot Nov/'12 It perfectly describes the current error in place.


I love this word . Finally, a way to describe Obama and his voters.

Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Among Best Quotes ever ... Thanks Ron Walters!

Best Military Quote Ever:


"When I joined the military it was Illegal to be homosexual, then it became

Optional, and now it's Legal. I'm getting out before Obama makes it Mandatory."
