DEAR READERS:
I AM GOING TO RESPOND IN THIS BLOG TO THE COMMENTS MADE BY "IMAGINARY COUSIN" IN THE COMMENTS SECTION OF MY LAST BLOG. AS WRONG AS THEY ARE, HIS AGRUMENTS ARE WELL WRITTEN AND REFLECT THE BIG GOVERNMENT MENTALITY THAT BOTH PARTIES IN ALBANY IN THIS ELECTION YEAR REFLECT. IT IS YOUR HUMBLE WRITERS JOB AND THE MISSION OF THIS MANIFESTO TO ARTICULATE THE LIMITED GOVERNMENT SIDE THAT THIS STATE AND THIS COUNTRIES CONSTITUTIONS ARE BASED.
***************************************************************************************
IF MY "HANDS OFF" GOVERNMENT IDEAS SCARE YOU THEN WHAT THE FOUNDERS OF THIS COUNTRY BELIEVED MUST MAKE YOU WANT TO SLIT YOUR WRISTS. I AM NOT A BELIEVER IN THE ROBIN HOOD MENTALITY THAT YOU TAKE FROM THE RICH AND GIVE TO THE POOR. YOU DECRY THE HIGH COST OF HOUSING, YET YOU WOULD DRIVE UP THAT COST BY REVISITING AD-NAUSIEUM, ITEMS THAT AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF HAVE BEEN DECIDED. AS WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT SAFETY ISSUES REGARDING THIS HOUSING, CALLING DO-OVERS DOES NOT MAKE SENCE UNLESS YOU WISH TO BLOCK THIS FROM HAPPENING AND WILL USE ANY MEANS AT YOUR DISPOSAL AND TRY TO DRESS IT UP AS PUBLIC GOOD. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH DELAYS AND DISCUSIONS AHEAD AS TRAFFIC AND ENVIORMENTAL AFFECTS ARE NOW TO BE DISCUSSED. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE OPPOSITION IS OPPOSED TO THE PROFIT THAT A FOR PROFIT PRIVATE ENTITY IS GOING TO MAKE AND THEY WISH TO CREATE CLASS ENVY OVER IT. THE DEVELOPER IS NOT A ROBER BARRON AND MAKING A PROFIT IS NOT A CRIME. IT IS NOT UP TO GOVERNMENT TO DECIDE HOW MUCH PROFIT IS TOO MUCH. THE BUSINESS AND THE TOWN ARE WORKING TOGETHER, AND THE ISSUE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING HAS BEEN SETTLED. IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON.
*************************************************************************************
YOU TAKE ISSUE WITH MY "LOCAL APPROACH"....THE LATE FORMER HOUSE LEADER TIP O'NIEL WAS CORRECT IN SAYING "ALL POLITICS IS LOCAL". THE FACT IS THE GOINGS ON IN ALBANY THAT THIS MANIFESTO DISCUSSES DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WASHINGTON. TO TRY TOP EXPAND THE ISSUE AS YOU WOULD LIKE, ONLY REINFORCES THE "YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT" MENTALITY THAT CREATES THE APATHY THAT EFFECTS MANY VOTERS. WHAT I DISCUSS ARE THINGS THAT READERS AND VOTERS CAN AFFECT NOW, SHOULD THEY CHOOSE TO, AND I WILL NOT ADD TO THAT HELPLESS ATTITUDE. AS IT IS IN THE BIG GOVERNMENT INTEREST TO CREATE THE ILLUSION OF HELPLESSNESS, YOUR APPROACH ONLY PLAYS INTO THAT. THE FOLLOWING ARE FACTS:
GEAOGE BUSH AND THE REPUBLICANS IN WASHINGTON ARE NOT RESPOSIBLE FOR THE FOLLOWING OUTRAGEOUS TAXES, FEES AND SURCHARGES:
ON YOUR CELL PHONE BILL, YOUR TELEPHONE BILL, YOUR CABLE BILL, YOUR ELECTRIC BILL.
THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR A BOTTLE OF LIQUORE OR WINE. THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR A PACK OF CIGGARETTES. THE PRICE FOR YOU TIRES FOR YOUR CAR. THE PRICE YOU PAY TO REGISTER AND OWN YOUR CAR.
WHEN YOU BUY OR SELL YOUR HOUSE.
WHAT YOU PAY FOR MEDICAID (N.Y. PAYS TWICE AS MUCH AS THE NEXT TWO STATES COMBINED, THOSE STATES ARE CALIFORNIA AND TEXAS) AS AN ASIDE, THE N.Y.TIMES CATALOUGED 18 BILLION DOLLARS IN MEDICAID WASTE AND FRAUD THAT ALSO DRIVES UP THE COST OF THIS PROGRAM.
WHAT YOU PAY FOR GAS AND HEATING OIL AND NATURAL GAS.
WHAT YOU PAY FOR INSURANCE (CAR OR HEALTH OR HOME)
SCHOOL AND PROPERTY TAXES
ALL THE ABOVE ARE THE DIRECT ACTS OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES IN ALBANY TO KEEEP AN OVERLY BLOATED GOVERNMENT AFLOAT AND TO JUSTIFY THEIR EXISTANCE, AND REPAY THE SPECIAL INTERESTS THAT KEEP THEM IN OFFICE.
NONE OF THE ABOVE ARE GEORGE BUSHES' FAULT AS MUCH AS YOU WISH THEM TO BE. THESE ARE STRICTLY STATE AND LOCAL ISSUES PERPUTRATED BY OUR REPRENTATIVES IN ALBANY.
AND NOW THEY WANT YOU TO PAY MORE FOR GOODS AND SERVICES BY TRYING TO MAKE MANDITORY THAT COMAPNIES THAT EMPLOY MORE THAT 100 PEOPLE PAY HIGHER WAGES AND HEALTH INSURANCE. THEY USE BIG BOX STORES AS AN EXAMPLE, HOWEVER THEY EMPLOY THOUSANDS. WE ARE TALKING HUNDREDS NOW.
FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I WAS INVOLVED IN THE RED PARROT CLUB IN THE EIGHTIES WE HAD 103 EMPLOYEES. WE WOULD HAVE FIRED FOUR OR FIVE PEOPLE THAN PAY THE EXTRA SURCHARGES. THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THIS LAW TAKES EFFECT. IT WILL HURT THOSE WHO THEY WISH IT TO HELP. IT WILL MEAN LESS JOBS FOR THOSE WHO NEED THEM AND HIGHER COSTS FOR THE CONSUMER. THE BASIC ECONOMICS OF THIS IS INESCAPABLE. I JUST LOVE WHEN THOSE WHO HAVE
SECURE JOBS ARE WILLING TO RISK THE EMPLOYMENT OF THOSE WHO DON'T JUST TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES. PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER HAD THE RESPONSIBILTY OF RUNNING A BUSINESS, TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING AND GOD FORBID EVEN A PROFIT, TELLING THOSE WHO DO, HOW TO DO IT. YOU SIR ARE WRONG WHEN YOU SAY THERE IS NO RIGHT TO DO BUSINESS. ONE OF THE FOUNDING PRICIPALS OF THIS STATE AND COUNTRY IS THE RIGHT TO EXIST AND GO ABOUT AND DO OUR BUSINESS WITHOUT THE UNDO INTERFERENCE OF GOVERNMENT. THE PERSUIT OF HAPPINESS OUR FOUNDERS BELIEVED HAPPENED WHEN GOVERNMENT IS LIMITED. THE MENTALITY OF BIG GOVERNMENT IS TO PUNISH THAT SUCCESS AND REDISRIBUTE WEALTH. IT IS NOT THE RESONSIBILTY OF THE CONSUMER OR PRIVATE BUSINESS TO ADRESS THE ISSUE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE CREATED THEIR OWN OBSTICALS TO THAT PERSIUT OF HAPPINESS. WE AS A SOCIETY HAVE ALREADY DECIDED TO TAKE OUT TAXES TO PROVIDE THOSE SAFETY NETS. UNTIL YOU SHOW HOW SHIFTING THE RESOPSIBILTIY TO BUSINESS OR THE CONSUMER WILL LOWER THOSE TAXES WE ALREADY PAY, I SAY TO HELL WITH IT. I DO NOT BELIEVE WE SHOULD PAY TWICE FOR THAT WHICH WE ALREADY PAY FOR. THE BOTTOM LINE ON THIS ISSUE IS THAT AS THE UNIONS ARE MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS TO OUR REPRENTATIVES IN ALBANY, THOSE SAID REPRENTATIVES ARE TRYING TO DO WHAT THE UNIONS CAN'T.
*************************************************************************************
YOU STATE THAT WAL-MART HAS CHANGED IN THE LAST TWENTY YEARS, WELL SO HAS THE MISSION OF UNIONS. FROM THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY, TO THE CARMAKERS TO THE DISTRUCTION OF THE STEEL INDUSTRY, TO MOST OTHER MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR. FROM THE TAXES KEEPING OPEN UNPRODUCTIVE HOSPITALS, TO THE RECENT CONTRACT WHERE THE N.Y.C. POLICE ATE THEIR OWN YOUNG, TO LAST DECEMBERS TRANSIT STRIKE ON THE PUBLIC SIDE.
UNIONS SIR, HAVE DONE MORE HARM THAN GOOD AND DRIVEN UP THE COST OF GOODS AND SERVICES AND OUR TAXES. THE UNIONS OF TODAY ARE NOT YOUR PARENTS UNIONS, AND YOUR FAILURE TO SEE THAT IS YOUR BLINDSPOT.
************************************************************************************
FINALLY AS FOR SENATOR CLINTON, I WILL SAY SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT HER.
SENATOR CLINTON IS A GOOD DEMOCRAT.
SHE IS HOWEVER, A LOUSY SENATOR FOR N.Y. AS SHE HAS PUT HER AND/OR HER PARTY INTERESTS OVER OUR INTERESTS. FROM HER VOTES ON TAXES TO HOMELAND SECURITY SHE HAS TOWED THE PARTY LINE. TO HER RACIAL PROFILING OF THE PORTS DEAL(YOU SEE IT IS ALRIGHT TOPROFILE TO ADVANCE YOUR POLITICAL AGENDA BUT NOT ALRIGHT TO PROFILE FOR NATIONAL SECURITY),
TO CONJURING UP IMAGES OF A FACISIT STATES IN REGARDS TO ILEAGAL IMIGRATION. TO PLAYING THE GENDER CARD BY SAYING THAT REPUBLICANS ARE PICKING ON HER BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN. SHE HAS NEVER MISSED AN OPPORTUINTY TO PANDER. SHE IS TRULY A BIG GOVERNMENT ADVOCATE. I CANNOT AND WILL NOT SUPPORT HER AND ANYTIME I CAN POINT OUT HER HIPOCRICY I WILL.
*************************************************************************************
THIS BLOG IS MY SOAPBOX FROM WHICH I WILL SPEAK OUT. THE NICE THING ABOUT THIS SOAPBOX IS THAT THERE IS ROOM FOR OTHERS TO STAND ON IT AND SPEAK OUT, UNEDITED, IN THE COMMENTS SECTION, I RESERVE MY RIGHT TO RESPOND TO THOSE COMMENTS, HOWEVER I WILL NEVER EDIT THEM OR DELETE THEM. THE FREE AND OPEN EXCHANGE OF IDEAS IS THE FIRST GOAL OF THIS BLOG. I WELCOME THE COMMENTS OF "IMAGINARY COUSIN", OTHER READERS, AND ANY OF THE ELECTED OFFICAILS TO USE THE COMMENTS SECTION TO SPEAK OUT AT ANY LENGHT ON ANY TOPIC YOU MAY WISH TO OPINE, IN AN UNEDITED FASHION. THIS BLOG HAS 400 PLUS READERS AT YOU DISPOSAL, WISHING TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. YOU MAY BE AYNONOMOUS OR NOT. BETTER THAN ANY LOCAL NEWS OUTLET, THIS BLOG ALLOWS YOU TO REACH VOTERS AGAIN WITH OUT EDITING OR DELETION. IT IS MY WISH THAT YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.

WHEN GOVERNMENT TELL YOU HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH
DEAR READERS:
ITEM: IT SEEMS THAT THE PEEKSKILL CITY COUNCIL IS IN DISSAGREEMENT OVER THE PROPOSED RIVERFRONT DEVELOPMENT THAT AS IT CONTINUES TO DELAY, DRIVES UP THE FINAL COST OF THAT PARTICULAR HOUSING WHICH BRINGS UP A CATCH-22 OF BEMOANONG THAT HIGH COST OF HOUSING, AS IF THESE DELAYS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THE DISSAGREEMENT CENTERS ON HOW MANY UNITS WILL BE SET ASIDE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR THE LOCAL WORKFORCE. ORIGINALY DISCUSSED AT 10% , IT SEEM THAT AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF, AND ALL THE PLANS WERE DRAWN UP, COUNCIL WOMEN CLAXTON AND FOSTER WANT TO UP THAT PERCENTAGE. YOU SEE THE BOTTOM LINE IS THEY ARE CONCERNED THAT THE DEVELOPER MAY MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY ON THE PROJECT. COUNCIL WOMAN PISANI SAYS THERE IS A RESOLUTION THAT WAS PASSED THAT AFFIRMS THE 10% FIGURE, SO IF TRUE, THEN OTHER THAN PUNISHING SUCCESS BY TRYING TO REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH, WHY THIS UNECESSARY DELAY THAT WILL DRIVE UP THE COST OF HOUSING?
fact update 03/12/06: i have in my possesion a copy of the above mentioned resolution in which the 10% figure was voted on by the peekskill city council. so i must ask again, why this unecessay delay over an issue that was decided? is politics being put over the best interests of the people?
**************************************************************************************
ITEM: THE STATE LEGISLATORS ARE DICUSSING A BILL THAT WOULD REQUIRE NON-MANUFACTURING (READ BIG BOX STORES) AND AGRICULTURAL COMPANIES WITH OVER 100 EMPLOYEES TO SPEND AT LEAST $3.00 AN HOUR MORE PER WORKER ON
HEALTH BENEFITS. THEY SAY THAT THESE COMPANIES ARE ENCOUGAGING THERE WORKERS TO USE GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE FOR THERE NEEDS. THESE LEGISLATORS SAY THAT THESE COMPANIES MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY AND WE MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. LETS US TAKE A BREATH FOR A MINUTE AND SEE THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS. ONE) THERE IS NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO HEALTH CARE EITHER STATE OR FEDERAL. TWO) THERE IS NO RIGHT FOR ENTRY LEVEL JOBS TO PAY NECESSARY WAGES TO RAISE A FAMILY OR PAY ONES HEALTH. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE ENTRY LEVEL JOBS. THAT THEY MAY BE USED BY SOME FOR THAT PORPOSE IS NOT SOCIETIES FAULT. THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING FAMILIES THEY CANNOT AFFORD, THE RESPOSIBITLITY SHOULD NOT BE SHIFTED TO PRIVATE BUSINESS, OR THE CONSUMER TO DEAL WITH, CERTIANLY NOT BY GOVERNMENT DICTATE NOR JUDICAIL FIAT. WE ALREADY PAY STATE AND FEDERAL TAXES TO PROVIDE THAT SAFETY NET. THREE) MEDICAID IS AN ENTILEMENT PROGRAM WITH CERTIAN CONDITIONS TO BE MET BEFORE YOU GET IT. WHETHER ONE WORKS AT AN ENTRY LEVEL JOB OR NOT, SHOULD THEY MEET THE CONDITONS, THEY WILL GET MEDICAID. FOUR) MANY OF THESE COMPANIES OFFER HEALTH CARE BENIFITS, HOWEVER THE EMPLOYEE MUST PAY FOR THIS. RATHER THAN OPT FOR THAT, THEY ON THERE OWN CHOOSE THE FREE GOVERNMENT PROGRAM. FIVE) IF IT IS THE PEOPLES WISH (EVEN THOUGH I WOULD DISSAGREE) THERE IS A CONSTUTIONAL WAY TO DO THIS BY PROPOSING A STATE OR FEDERAL CONSTUTIONAL AMMENDMENT MAKING THIS A RIGHT. THOUGH THIS IS TIME CONSUMING ( WHICH IS WHY THE NANNIES WOULD RATHER DO AN END RUN AND USE GOVRNMENT DICTATE OR JUDICAIL FIAT) IT IS THE RIGHT AND PROPER WAY TO DO IT. BRING IT TO THE PEOPLE AND LET THEM DECIDE AND LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY. SIX) AS UNIONS ARE THE BIGGEST CONTRIBUTORS TO THE LEGISLATORS AND THAT THESE COMPANIES ARE NOT UNION JOBS, THE LEGISLATORS HAVE TAKEN UPON THEMSELVES TO TO THE UNIONS WORK FOR THEM. THE END EFFECT OF THIS LEGISLATION SHOULD IT BECOME LAW, IS HIGHER PRICES FOR THE CONSUMER, AND LESS EMPLOYMENT FOR THOSE WHO NEED THE JOBS. LET'S NOT FORGET THE TRAMPLING OF THE RIGHTS OF PRIVATE BUSINESS, AS IF THAT EVER MATTERED TO BEGIN WITH.
*************************************************************************************
ITEM: OUR SENATOR CLINTON HAS ALSO WIEGHED IN ON THIS ISSUE IN A RECENT SPEECH ASAILING WAL-MART FOR NOT PAYING UNION LAKE WAGES AND BENEFITS.
SHE FORGOT TO MENTION DURING THIS SPEECH THAT DURING THE LATE EIGHTIES SHE WAS A BOARD MEMBER OF WAL-MART AND DID NOTHIING TO ADRESS THIS ISSUE. WHEN POINTED OUT, HER SPOKESPERSON SAID IT WAS DIFFERENT THEN. IN THIS THERE WAS TRUTH, AS WHEN SHE WAS A BOARD MEMBER IT WAS HER RESPOSIBILTY TO KEEP COSTS DOWN AND PROFITS UP. NOW AS SENATOR (NEVER PASSING UP A CHANCE TO PANDER) SHE HAS HAD AN EPIPHANY AND HAS SEEN THE ERRORS OF HER WAYS. IN A RELATED MATTER IF YOU GO TO THE CLINTON MUSEUM
WEBSITE (HEPL WANTED), YOU WILL SEE THEY ARE ASKING FOR 25 INTERNS (AN ENTRY LEVEL POSITION). THE MEDICAL BENEFITS OFFERED: NONE. THE PAY OFFERED: NONE. AT LEAST THERE IS ONE AREA THAT WAL-MART PAYS BETTER AT ENTRY LEVEL POSTIONS.
