John D Dingell (D-MI15), take note that he's Congressman from MICHIGAN

is proposing a 50¢/gallon additional tax on gasoline.


Jim, how else do you propose to keep the ponze scheme,
I mean social security going?



He's also partner to a proposal to do away with the mortgage interest
deduction on your house if its size is above 3000 sq.ft.


Oh, those damn rich people anyway, ;-) let's see if we can take
all the incentive out of the system.

And while we're at it, let's create a huge government program to
provide FREE health care for everyone! Might as well throw
illegal aliens into the free program.

** What do you mean, "might as well"??
Illegal mexicans get free medical, welfare, allowed to drive with no
insurance or license, etc ad nauseum.


And also, why should anyone own the house they bought.
Let's have the state send them a bill every year. Call it property tax.

I like the "Fair Tax"
Let people see the tax every time they
buy an item,
rather then have the nice IRS send them
money (refund).

Mike, I don't know where you're from or how things are conducted there -
but I agree with one reply to your post - the "illegals" have all handed
to them - and HERE - there IS a "property" tax. It is billed not by the
state - but the county. You don't pay it - you lose your home. Sheriffs
sales are running amuck.


You're correct, the county levies the property tax.
Did I mention taxes on your phone bill, land line and cell phone, taxes on
your cable tv bill.
Oh, and there are already plenty of taxes on gasoline, state and federal.

Off my rant now,
Mike



wait a minute, our local government is trying to push through side walk
tax. if it goes through, every resident in this city will be getting a
tax bill for side walk maintenance except those that are the on local
local assistant programs. ( and they're many!)

This came up in lo of many residents here now walking and using
bicycle's and not having that extra car any more.

Also, they are trying to push through a bill to force any one that
purchases a bicycle of 24" frame or larger, or get one of those
scooters that are under 50 CC that requires no registration to pay a
yearly USE tax.
Don't that just bite the bullet. We'll see just how far that goes.
the biggest problem we have in this area is far to many free programs
given to those that have absolutely nothing wrong with them. Not only
that. A good many free loaders have moved out from other remote
locations to take advantage of the free programs this city gives out and
thus has been forcing those that work and own property to sell (if they
can) and get out.
At the town meetings, they are all up in arms over tax paying
residents leaving town. Their solution? More taxes and only for those
that they don't want to leave.! real funny isn't it.
