Daily Jefferson County Union-

The Lt Gov said small businesses are important not just in Fort Atkinson(which she was visiting), but across the entire state by providing a structural framework for the economy. She added that her family has a small business in De Pere and understands the economy’s impact.

Now this is interesting. So Barb you know how the economy impact on small businesses huh? Well how about you administrations raising taxes on small businesses? How do you suppose that impacts them?

As we know Gov Doyle is not running for re election in 2010. Well thank God for that! However it leaves the playing field open. And when it comes to democrats it is a child play playing field. Several people have been mentioned when it comes to candidates for Gov. , including Lawton.

This entire article talks about how new government programs are going to help in getting loans for small businesses. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. I know how to get a loan DON’T RAISE THEIR TAXES. The ARC stabilization loans are available for financially vulnerable businesses in need for temporary relief. Yeah, like when you state raises its taxes!

This is even more priceless

State Rep Andy Jorgensen D for the 37th district also spoke at the event and praised the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and its impact on businesses.

Yeah I would praise them too if I was ol’ Andy boy. He is the one who voted to raise their taxes to begin with.

Folks I am sick and tired of the democrats in Madison thinking that how they votes doesn’t impact the citizens of Wisconsin. When you raise taxes you take money out the pockets of the small businesses and the citizens.

(response to recent vote in the house of representatives)

On 1930 June 17 the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act was signed into law. It raised US import tariffs to record levels, prompting trade retaliation from other nations. The resulting trade barriers crippled the global economy, contributing to the Great Depression.

On 2009 June 26 the US House of Representatives approved a Cap and Tax bill that surpasses the Smoot-Hawley tariff in economic destructiveness. Wisconsin’s delegation voted along party lines with the five Democrats voting to sacrifice the US economy to the false god of Anthropogenic Global Warming and the three Republicans voting against the insanity.

When voting for this bill, none of the Wisconsin Democrats knew exactly what was in it. How could they, 300 pages were added less than 24 hours before their floor vote. But we can deduce the Democrats’ intent from three revealing votes in the Energy and Commerce committee. As reported in the Wall Street Journal on 2009 June 26, while the bill was in the Energy and Commerce committee “…Republicans offered three amendments: one to suspend the program if gas hit $5 a gallon; one to suspend the program if electricity prices rose 10% over 2009; and one to suspend the program if unemployment rates hit 15%. Democrats defeated all of them.”

From their committee votes we know that Tammy Baldwin and the other committee Democrats intend to raise the price of gasoline to at least $5 a gallon. No surprise, as their goal is to decrease the use of carbon-based fuels and raising the price will do that. That is the only way that Americans will buy the electric cars that Government Motors is going to be trying to sell.

The second vote indicates that Tammy Baldwin et al do not mind if electricity prices jump. Unfortunately this could make it expensive to charge the electric cars they want us to buy.

But the third vote is the most revealing. It shatters the myth that the Democrats care about the poor. An unemployment rate of 15% means 1 out of every 7 American workers is without work. Democrats are willing to sacrifice the jobs of 1 out of every 7 Americans because a computer program claims this will lower the temperature 0.2 degrees in 2100. So, Democrats are content with a 50% increase in the unemployment rate, throwing millions of Americans out of work. All this dislocation because a computer program claims it will lower the temperature 0.2 degrees.

Others elsewhere have dissected the myths of Anthropogenic Global Warming. All I will do here is point out that a Madison weatherman provides only a 4 degree guarantee on his forecasts of the next day’s high temperature. The global-warming acolytes have put their faith in a computer program claiming 20-fold greater accuracy in making a temperature prediction 90 years hence. That has passed from the realm of science and entered the realm of religion.

In the 1930s and 40s Russian biology was strongly influenced by the theories of Trofim Denisovich Lysenko. While his theories had little scientific backing, they did have Joseph Stalin’s blessing. Needless to say political backing more than compensated for the lack of experimental supporting evidence. Dissent was punished and contrary evidence suppressed. In the US the reliance on government grants has paved the way for similarly politicized science. Those expressing dissent from the global warming “consensus” lost grant funding and their papers were not published in prestigious journals. Some day soon Anthropogenic Global Warming will join Lysenkoism as an embarrassment to the world scientific community.

Making policy based on politically influenced science needlessly sacrifices lives and livelihoods. Smoot-Hawley contributed to the Great Depression. If signed into law, Cap and Tax, based on politically-correct science, will increase the price of fuel, increase the price of electricity, and increase unemployment. It will not “promote the general welfare” and so should be scrapped as quickly as possible.

So Jr Senator Barack Obama has grand ideas for fixing the economy. Hmm lets take a look.

Lets first look at taxes. First he wants a windfall tax on oil companies. Yeah that will work, lets raise the price of gas for this tax, (see Windfall tax for oil companies

Post June 14th). Next he wants to raise the capital gains tax to 20%, which has been proven to bring in less tax money not more. Also would like to lower the child tax credit down to $500 from the current law of $1000. In addition in the tax area, is the dividends tax rate which is currently 15% and he wants to raise this to 39.6%. And don’t get me started on the income tax rate which he also has plans on raising-more info later in its own post with more details.

Also in his grand scheme of things he would like not to drill for oil in our own country even after other countries have done the same thing such as Brazil, Norway, France, and Venezuela. Most of America believe that we should “drill here, drill now”. Holding out just makes matters worse. Just the thought of us drilling just a few days ago lowered the barrel. His other stance on this issue is for America to lessen demand. I am sorry but I need to go to work, I need to go to the grocery store, and other places that are important in my life. I like my heat in winter. I like been able to sleep in the summer with my air conditioning. And mandating car manufactures may or may not help the situation in any real value.

Another idea of his is to cut our military and get out of Iraq. Now there is a great idea! Lets lose our nations security and open our self up for another attack. We need our military and we need to be in Iraq fighting for our great nations security against terrorism
