Goodmorning Fellow Tax Haters!
Let me start with a question to all of you. When trying to pass legislation of, let's say for argument's sake, Health Care Reform, should our lawmakers be allowed to attach earmark riders for the research funding of the environmental impact of moose farts? You may laugh, but this is exactly what happens to billions of our tax dollars each year.
Everytime a bill is introduced into congress, our Senators and Representatives deem it necessary to throw in all of the pet project pork that they can to pacify lobbyists. These are YOUR hard earned tax dollars being pissed away by embedding them in more important legislation. I have a legislation idea! Let's outlaw earmarks!
Is it too much to ask of our political leaders that they vote on only the legislation at hand without piles of spending teasers to buy the vote? I would think not since they are being paid by us, the tax payers, to do what WE want with OUR tax dollars. So, what we need NOW is a grassroots effort to pass legislation to outlaw the use of earmark spending.
Your assigment, for today, is to first, forward this blog post to everyone on your contacts list and tell them to pass it on to everyone on their contacts list. Then log onto http://www.nwyc.com/ and let YOUR Congressional Leaders know that you want legislation passed to stop ALL earmark spending.
I'm tired of the tax
