This guy and all the Washington CROOKS have to go!!!!

GOOD GRIEF . . . time to go back to burying my money in mason jars in the
back yard!

This is real!!!

We've got to vote these crooks out of Washington in November!!!

Wonder what the ones who voted for this idiot think now?
One percent transaction tax is proposed

President Obama's finance team is recommending a transaction tax. His plan
is to sneak it in after the November election to keep it under the radar.
This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution i. e.
Banks, Credit Unions, etc.. A ny deposit you make, or move around within
your account, i. e. transfer to, will have a 1% tax charged. If your pay
check or your social Security or whatever is direct deposit, 1% tax
charged. If you hand carry a check in to deposit, 1% tax charged, If you
take cash in to deposit, 1% tax charged.This is from the man who promised
that if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new
tax. Keep your eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn.

Some will say aw it's just 1%... remember once the tax is there they can
raise it at will.

That's true. Too many people with their false sense of entitlement to actually make any meaningful cuts. We need to be taken care of.

As for the OP, I would not like that.

I will be watching for that to come up to vote.

H's idea of cutting spending is cutting Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.

Heard that on the news today.

I decided to double check this and I looked this one up on Snopes (couldn't get a return) so I looked it up at Truth or Fiction. They say it is partly true but that it is actually a House bill sponsered by a Rep. from Pennsylvania not an administration official. Here is the TorF address if you want to read it for yourself.

These crooks we vote for need to start practicing the "fiscally responsible" lip service they all give us.
