Happy New Tax Year, America!

Posted Friday, January 1, 2010, at 11:40 AM

Good day, my fellow Americans, also referred to by many as Taxpayers. Well, my dear, Taxpayers, you will be happy to know that the House did pass legislation (H.R. 4213) that would have extended 63 current tax provisions. That was a comfort until I learned that the Senate failed to find the time to vote on it. Which means that at midnight last night, while many were celebrating with song and merriment, those tax provisions died along with 2009. According to Tax Notes that includes:

*Deduction of state and local general sales taxes (section 164) (Personal Tax Incentives)
*Additional standard deduction, up to $500 for individuals and $1,000 for couples, for state and local property taxes (section 63) (Personal Tax Incentives)

The Senate spent so much wasted time and energy on healthcare reform that was not even wanted by a majority of Americans and failed to act on important tax legislation, that effects a vast majority of us. These additional key tax provisions will expire:

*Increased exemption levels for the individual alternative minimum tax (section 55) and personal tax credits allowed against the AMT (section 26)
*Exclusion of unemployment compensation benefits from gross income (section 85)
*Alternative fuel mixture tax credit (section 6426(e))
*Reduced estimated tax payments for small businesses (section 6654)

Again, the Obama Goof Troop has succeeded in raising the taxes of every American Again, the American's had no idea that it was coming. And once again, we are seeing more and more how murky and dirty the view through the looking glass has become in this new transparent administration.

And moving on to another subject. The new year of strong security. Yeah, right! The country's security has been so "spy-shy" while ignoring the warnings that came in weeks before the botched attempt of a reported terrorist youth. His own father alerted the US Embassy that his son was planning a suicide mission, yet this son was ignored and allowed to fly. The only reason that this sad, brain-washed child didn't succeed is because an ordinary American passenger, jumped the flaming terrorist, placing himself in danger. This hero saved over 250 lives and got a nice burn in the process. Obama's response was laughable and weak as he reported that the young man "allegedly" tried to set off a bomb. Allegedly? How can it be described as allegedly when it was witnessed by many and one person actually jumped into the fire. Does that mean that the hero was allegedly burned?

Allegedly reportedly means asserted but not yet proven to have taken place. It also means supposedly or purportedly. According to those definitions, those passengers and the Hero were all suffering from some mass delusion when they heard the pop and saw the fire and smoke. Obama said that it allegedly happened. How does that make the Hero feel as he is suffering with the horrible pain of third degree burns? What a slap in the face it must have been to hear that this was supposedly an attack but not yet proven.

Well ya know...Obama was allegedly born in Hawaii, allegedly didn't know the house he launched his political career was owned by a known domestic terrorist. he allegedly didn't know his spiritual leader for 20 years was a screaming left wing radical. he allegedly didn't know one of his czars was a self avowed communist or that half of his other appointees are tax cheats. So where would anything this spineless idiot says surprise anyone...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

And Bouncer..............you know the difference between Obama and the White House dog?

Bo has papers.

And Bouncer..........speaking of dogs, a friend sent me an email that I can't remember verbatim, but a rough draft is:

My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day, 24/7, 365 days a year. He doesn't have to work for a living, depends on US to support him. He lives in a nice house, rent-free. Goes to his doctor once a year for check-ups, and doesn't have to pay for that either.

When he wants something else, he just whines for it until somebody gets up and takes care of it. He barks sometimes for no reason at all..............just to hear himself bark.

As far as he's concerned, everyone ELSE can pick up the tab for whatever he thinks he needs, as well as pick up the crap he leaves in the yard as he goes on to hos next activity.

Then it dawned on me...............holy crap......my own DOG is a Democrat!

Keep working................politicians, millions on welfare, and in other countries, DEPEND ON YOU!

Good one Bazooka. How true. Free choice because after all this is a democracy right (hahahahahaha)? So, did you allow the dog to put an Obama bumper sticker on the ole Mustang? Dogs have rights too (and he/she does get everything that he/she wants?!

As for our "standards" we are at an all time low. No accountability. No expectations. No "standards." How can a nation lower what they no longer have?

As for taxes...had to know that was going to happen with out straight forward, improved administration. And...they will elect him again at the end of OUR sentence because he represents what many hope for (at least in their own minds anyway). Just lower your standards and it is all good!!!!

I don't think he'll be re-elected. I'm not real sure he's even gonna finish THIS term.

-- Posted by bazookaman on Sat, Jan 2, 2010, at 1:38 PM

Don't say that Bazooka!! The replacement will be Biden..don't think that will last long. At least Obama can talk with a teleprompter aid. I think Pelosi would cut Biden's throat herself to get into the drivers seat. Gotta admit the guy set it up very nice to make sure no one would want to take him out!!

It WOULD seem to be pretty good insurance, eh?

George Washington, John Hancock, Patrick Henry and all THEIR "radical extremist" friends would sure be proud of the citizens TODAY, wouldn't they?

-- Posted by bazookaman on Mon, Jan 4, 2010, at 7:19 AM

Notice how some of the Dems are bailing? Interesting isn't it? Makes one wonder if the Chicago politics has anything to do with it. He is making the health care bill a super priority now. More so now than last month. Obama is seeing his folks bail and he may not have enough votes down the road. I don't think he'll last either.

Just rats abandoning the self-inflicted sinking ship. They got their pockets greased. Why waste time and money on an election bid when they know they probably will not win.

-- Posted by clam chowder on Wed, Jan 6, 2010, at 3:18 PM

I like what Schwartznegar (sp) said in his State of the State address today. He told it like it is, bribery and so forth. At least he had the gutz to say tactics as bribery are being used to pass the health care bill.

-- Posted by midea on Wed, Jan 6, 2010, at 5:16 PM

Maybe the White House will tone it down from "bribery" something like "deals for favors" or something like that.

Just like they don't call "terrorism" what IT is either.

Ever watch how the left side stands up when Obama enters the main chambers for his formal speeches? Isn't it amazing how they can stand so straight and be so crooked!

-- Posted by bazookaman on Wed, Jan 6, 2010, at 6:42 PM

Kim should weigh in here on what the PC version of "bribe" is (she had a blog on that before). I like to call it Obamanomics or free trade myself. It all makes a person kind of sick...unless of course you are pro-Obama...I mean free trade.

More rats will be jumping from the ship before it is all over. What do they care? They have been paid off and made their money. Damage is done.

-- Posted by OpinionMissy on Thu, Jan 7, 2010, at 11:53 AM

Speaking of rats.............I understand they are now using congressmen instead of rate for scientific experiments.

They've discovered there are a lot of things that rats won't do!

-- Posted by bazookaman on Thu, Jan 7, 2010, at 6:23 PM

And congressmen..and women are alot closer to the human species than rats...but only marginally

-- Posted by mhbouncer on Fri, Jan 8, 2010, at 9:17 AM

But the Congressmen & Comgresswomen DO set a humanitarian fairness example to the rest of the world, though.

Equal opportunity for all.............even on Capitol Hill, we hire the handicapped!

-- Posted by bazookaman on Fri, Jan 8, 2010, at 2:25 PM

...............as in, the "mentally challenged."

I've lived in Mtn Home for over 20 years. I love my city and my country. Since I am a writer, my decision to blog here seemed appropriate. I enjoy acting so I've been blessed with the opportunity to work on some independent films and with Prairie Dog Productions and Bogus Creek Ranch. I hope that something I have to write about has some value for others or just amuses someone.
