Seattle Proves The Point: To Democrats There’s No Such Thing as Enough Taxation

Patriot Post seattle gun tax failWhile there are plenty of reasons to oppose Democrat rule the one that affects the most people, most often, is the obsession with spending other people’s money. To that point, I have often asked ‘how much is enough‘ so that I can answer that ‘there is no enough.’ Democrats cannot tax you enough. There is no end to the ways in which they can spend your money, or how or how much they will take. Left unchecked that is exactly what they do. And they are no longer even shy about it.

Seattle, a hub of growth and opportunity, is the gender-dysphoric Democrat poster-child for the maxim, “there is no enough.”

The problem for the Dems is that he really did it!

RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.) RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book … Read more

Seattle Passes ‘Head-Count’ Tax On Job Creators

Seattle - Image-WikipediaBack in March Skip reported on a discussion underway in the city that never stops taxing, Seattle. The city council debate over a new tax based on how many people a company employs. At the time the issue was not so much if but how. The “how” has been decided and their latest act of plunder approved.

The result is the so-called head tax on Seattle businesses that gross at least $20 million annually. According to The Seattle Times, 585 businesses in the city will be subject to the tax. Not surprisingly, the tech giant Amazon is expected to pay the most under the tax. The initial proposal was for a $500 tax per employee, which, in Amazon’s case, would have meant an added $20 million in labor costs. Thanks to a veto threat from the mayor, the council reduced its tax grab to $275 per employee.

Notable Quote – Keith Hanson

Republicans may hold office, but Democrats hold the power. Republicans, despite holding the majority, continue to defer to Democrats (seemingly out of decency) when they should utilize the majority to their advantage, the exact same way that Democrats would if the majority were in their favor. -Keith Hanson, radio talk show host and activist.

You Want to Talk About Cultural Appropriation? Let’s Do that!

statue-of-liberty-2501264_960_720With all This Talk about Cultural Appropriation when is someone going to start focusing on how the Democrat party has appropriated (or been appropriated) by secular-humanist-socialist-Marxism?

It’s not American. It contradicts most, if not all the cultural foundations or tenents of our nation. So, why does the modern Democrat party, its politicians, and their mouthpieces, get away with appropriating a late 18th-century Euro-Russian worldview and forcing it down our throats?

420 Protesters Troll Gun Grabbers in Concord, New Hampshire

420 counter rally Move to Massachusetts

The Libertarians recently had the pleasure of sharing “protesting space” with Teacher’s Union organizers at the New Hampshire State House. The Big Money Union shindig was a shill for the Democrat-Socialist gun-grabbing narrative. The 420 folks were there to smoke weed and punk the Union hacks whose solution to just about everything is more government control over law-abiding citizens. Which is really weird in this context. Their motivation for applying more of that control is Parkland which only happened because of the epic failure of blessed government at every level.

You’d like to think that “teachers” have more capacity to learn but to the assembled, it seems that the progressive carapace prevents the penetration of any evidence that contradicts the agenda.

Has the Professional Left Silenced You? They Will if You Dare to Disagree

Conservatives vs ProgressivesDemocrats don’t know what they don’t know and they only have themselves to blame.

Why are so many Democrats shocked when a Republican is elected president? Because, as they themselves say, they “don’t know anyone” who voted for the Republican. The primary reason for this is the people in their life who voted for Donald Trump — professional colleagues, and even friends and relatives — are afraid to tell them.

Sadly, this treatment works in a much broader sense to advance liberal narratives and often promote progressive policies, especially at the local level “where get out the vote” means find ways to keep your opposition at home, so they win by default.

HB628 Was Never About Creating a Family Medical Leave Insurance Program.

HB628 killing the NH AdvantageSince late 2017, leading up to today, we’ve written or shared at least twenty-three articles opposing HB628, the so-called Family Medical Leave Act. This makes (at least) twenty-four. Why so many? Until very recently neither the governor nor Republican Majority leadership had made a noise that wasn’t fawning.

And while a recent joint committee vote to ITL the bill has people singing praises, until the floor vote adds a final stake (at least for this session) I’m not convinced it’s dead with good reason.

Abortion is Not about ‘Choice’

The argument goes something like this. Women don’t have to have an abortion. They can choose what’s best for them. Their body, their choice. This is a rare indulgence in a progressive realm whose agenda revolves around the State (meaning Democrats and the ruling class) deciding what you can and can’t do with your body. … Read more

NH Democrats Prove How Much They Hate Tax Cuts

taxeslg

Today, Ivanka Trump and U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin came to New Hampshire to talk about President Trump’s tax plan on “Tax Day.” The two were talking about the benefits of the tax plan that was put into place by the Republican-controlled Congress (not one of New Hampshire’s Democrat representatives voted for their constituents to keep more of their own hard-earned money, not Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan, Annie Kuster or Carol Shea-Porter).

New Hampshire Democrats weren’t very happy about this visit. They seem to hate that Granite Staters actually get to keep more of their own hard-earned money.

Senator Shaheen’s Selective Defense Of Small Business Owners

The Internet http://
Image credit: cnet

New Hampshire’s Congressional delegation is unified in its defense of the Granite State from efforts to make online purchases taxable. Their primary objection, and I’ll use Senator Shaheen as my whipping donkey for this, is the burden it puts on small business owners.

As a former small business owner, I know that most small businesses operate on small profit margins and struggle to keep overhead low. That’s especially true for small online retailers. It is unacceptable to impose major new administrative costs on small businesses while making it harder to compete with big-box retailers.

New Hampshire Democrats Oppose ‘Common Sense’ Gun Legislation.

???
???

The New Hampshire House voted 184-146 to advance Senate Bill 500, housekeeping legislation meant to clean up the language in firearms statutes in the GraniteState.

Unlike the State Senate where approval was unanimous SB500 did not garner overwhelming bipartisan support in the NH House. In fact, it received very little support from House Democrats with 139 of the 146 no votes coming from the left.

Chains, children, shackle, slave

Another Thing Hitler and Democrats Have in Common

One of the issues with slavery from the founding of the nation (leading up to and past the civil war) is that there was a class of persons who did not believe or could not be convinced that their slaves were human beings. In their eyes, they were not people, so the idea of granting them rights made no sense.

Hitler took a similar stand with the Jews. They were inferior. As such they became scapegoats and a “question” resolved by genocide.

Now consider how Democrats justify abortion.

When Democrats Take Back Congress They Will Repeal Tax Reform

pelosiNancy Pelosi announced that one of the first things Democrats will do when they regain control is to repeal and replace recent Republican Tax reforms. And she promises it will be bipartisan and done in daylight, (unlike healthcare reform, I guess). So, what might that look like?

If previous proposals are any indication, Pelosi plans on instituting a major tax hike, particularly focused on punishing those same generous corporations. In a plan published last month, Congressional Democrats proposed a $1 trillion dollar tax hike, pushing the corporate tax rate from its current 21% to 25%, undoing tax breaks for high earners, and re-instituting a top tax bracket that could tax some Americans at a rate of nearly 40%.

The Totalitarian impulse did not die with the Soviet Union

Antifa- we will tread

I think that the entirety of the modern American Left’s agenda can be summarized in the words of Theodore Dalrymple, who notes,

The totalitarian impulse did not die with the Soviet Union, but rather fractured into many different monomanias. The freedom that many people desire is the freedom to limit other people’s freedom, which they find much more gratifying than the mere expression of their own opinion, which has at most the effect of throwing a pebble into a pond, causing a ripple that soon disappears and is forgotten. Surely I am more important than that, and my opinion deserves to dictate to others?

New Hampshire Young Democrats Phone Bank to Protect Voter Fraud

NH Young Democrats Stealing Votes

The New Hampshire Young Democrats Facebook page has a status update seeking help to make phone calls to stop HB1264. They mean to prevent efforts that could stop “out of state students” “from voting in New Hampshire.”

These are the same Young Democrats who will not phone bank to end the injustice of high-priced out-of-state tuition rules which directly contradict their justification for letting those non-resident students vote here in the first place.

Let’s dig into that contradiction, shall we?

Democrat Party Drooling Over Malaysian Law – Fake News Could Get You 6 Months In Jail

Malaysian law equals jail for sharing fake news
Image Credit: Business Insider

From the ‘They’d never do this here‘ files, yes they would.

Malaysia on Monday approved a law against “fake news” that would allow for prison of up to six years for offenders, shrugging off critics who say it was aimed at curbing dissent and free speech ahead of a general election.

And yes, this is always an imposition to silence political dissent the ruling class doesn’t want shared. Always.

New Hampshire Democrats Doth Protest Too Much
