THE POWER TO THINK

Dear Readers:

Besides the three unalienable rights granted us by our creator as expressed in the Declaration of Independence, there is a fourth gift granted us. This gift is what allows us dominion over all other creatures on Earth. I am not talking about the movable thumb. I am talking about the gift that unlike all ,other creatures on Earth that fear fire, it is the gift that allowed us to harness the power of fire. The gift is the ability to reason, to think.

The horse is faster, the elephant stronger, the rabbit more prolific, the butterfly more beautiful. The ability to think is what separates us from all other creatures. So why are we so willing to suspend this gift and allow ourselves to be stampeded into a fear and panic that in reality is not real. Our Washington elected and appointed officials panicked us into TARP and Stimulus 1. As time has shown, what they said to us was a lie. However it was an effective one as it allowed the Federal Government to steal from us and transfer to them almost 2 trillion dollars of our money we worked hard for. The kicker was that almost all that money was borrowed. Your children will be paying for this, even thought that money was spent last year.

No matter what has or has not happened when you read this, our credit rating was not in jeopardy contingent on raising the debt ceiling. It was and is contingent on controlling our debt, which no plan offered as of this writing addresses. The constitutional fact is that one congress can not be bound by the actions of another congress. In other words, all promises of future cuts are worthless. The historical fact is that all promises of future cuts made by a sitting congress were never honored by even that sitting congress let alone future ones. Both parties are addicted to spending our money. Money equals power to them and no matter the party, neither will relinquish power.

No matter what has or has not happened when you read this our debt service will have been paid, as it is the constitutional duty of congress to do so. The debt service is 29 billion dollars a month. Our obligation to seniors, the disabled and military is 50 billion dollars a month. The government takes in on average 200 billion dollars a month. Those bills would and will be paid.

Since 1948 Democrats have frightened seniors into thinking their social security checks were in danger in the hands of Republicans. Those checks have always come. In fact till this present Democrat President, they have always had a cost of living increase. This administration changed the calculus to show there was no raise in the cost of living in spite of the rise in gas and food prices. Those prices are not included in the cost of living index. Who then has hurt the seniors more?

I do not feel sorry for those who suspend the power to think and reason and allow themselves to be panicked. This fear card has been played for over sixty years, so it is not new. Those who still fall for it deserve the sleepless nights they bring on themselves. There is a place in hell reserved for those who play this card for political purposes without a care to what is does to others. The antidote for this scare card is to use the gift God gave you and think. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

I AM STILL HERE

Dear Readers:

I am still here. Here is now the "new", "old" Pennysaver. According to CEO Carla Chase and echoed by Bruce Apar, this is the format you wanted. Truth be told, you were not enamored with Pennysaver Community. Only in politics is the customer always wrong. In business you listen to the customer and that is what Chase Media Group has done. I have also been told that recognizing this damn recession is still going strong in spite of what the Obama apologists in the media are telling you, there is a new pricing structure designed to encourage business' ability to reach more customers in an affordable manor.

I am still here because of you. You have made this product, and it is a product as it is designed to attract readers to this publication, worth keeping. Your feed back to the powers that be convinced them that "In My Opinion" was part of your weekly reading. It is also your feed back that keeps the blog "Bazzo at Work"
(http://ltpbazzo.wordpress.com/) going strong. It is there that you read in your elected officials own words what they are doing, unedited. It is also because of you that Chase Media Group has continued production of the cable T.V. show "Bruce The Blog Goes Bazzo" starring Bruce Apar and your humble writer. It airs every Thursday at 10 P.M. on Cablevision channel 74 in Yorktown - Putnam Valley -
Bedford - Bedford Hills - Mount Kisco - Katonah - Lewisboro - North Salem - Pound Ridge - Purdy Station - Amawalk - Granite Springs - Lincolndale - Somers - Baldwin Place - Shenorock - Mahopac.

I am still here because Carla, Frank and Bruce still feel this column has something to say that's worth saying. Without their support there would be no Bazzo. I am still here because their loyalty to me deserves loyalty in return. At the end of the day, all you have is your word and your reputation. Once you sell that out, you have nothing.

In this crazy world where elected official are telling you the world as we know it will end unless you surrender to them your liberties and your children's future liberties, I am still here to tell you to " keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you."(IF by Rudyard Kippling) I am still here to keep you focused on the real picture and not the fallacy the media apologists want you to see. I am still here to tell you "Be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world." ( Desiderata). I am still here and as long as Carla, Frank and Bruce want me, I am not going anywhere.

Tax Code Hypocrisy

Dear Readers:

The rich must pay their fair share. Republicans are choosing rich CEO's and their corporate jets over food safety and children's health care. Greedy corporations are using tax loopholes to avoid paying taxes. This is what we are being told by this administration and the Democrat leadership. This is also blatant hypocrisy by these same people.

Corporate Jets:

The tax deduction also know as "loophole" on depreciation was extended in the second stimulus bill voted on in 2008 and signed by this President. Remember not one Republican voted for this bill. So you have a Democratic Congress and a Democratic President extending this loophole, and now blaming the Republicans for it. You know who owns these private jets? Not just corporations and their CEO's, but members of Congress and the Senate. Nancy Pelosi, Jay Rockefeller, John Kerry to name a few. They passed a deduction that benefited themselves, but of course the stenographers in the media won't tell you this.

Loopholes:

The tax code was created to keep the middle class from accumulating wealth. It protects by various deductions and exemptions accumulated wealth from taxes. The tax code taxes income not wealth. The rich will not pay anymore significant taxes by increasing the tax rate. Wealth will still be protected or else Congress will be taxing themselves and that is not going to happen. The term loophole is being used to make you think something nefarious is gong on when in reality these are legitimate deductions, passed by various congresses to please the select few, such as your mortgage tax deduction. Or is that a loophole also?

Paying your fair share:

You know who wants the rich to pay their fair share of taxes? Timothy Geitner the Secretary of the Treasury, who admitted he evaded taxes till he was caught. Congressman Charles Rangel another person who evaded paying his fair share of taxes for years. John Kerry who parked his yacht in Rhode Island to avoid paying Massachusetts taxes. This is the ruling class in full hypocrisy. As it was once said, only the little people pay taxes.

The government does not have a revenue problem It takes in more than enough to pay for what it should pay for. It has a spending problem and they wish to use the politics of envy so you will let them borrow on your children and grand children's future and continue to confiscate the earnings of the productive class and transfer it to the parasites among us so they will continue to hold onto power. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

The Platform of Demagoguery

Dear Readers:

In a recent press conference, President Obama excoriated Corporate CEO's, their corporate jets and the depreciation tax credit they get. This tax credit amounts to 3 billion dollars over ten years. His budget proposal has 140 billion dollars in new spending which we have not the money for. So why focus on corporate jets? It is just another class warfare tactic. It is just another entity to hold in contempt. He is running for re-election and his platform is envy, demonazation and demagoguery.

What else can he run on? Another four years of high unemployment? High energy prices? Depressed housing market? The promise of high taxes? Out of control spending and borrowing? This is what his administration has brought us. He can't run on that, so he must play class warfare. It has passed the test of time as there are always people willing to count other people's money. The only question is, how does making the affluent suffer improve your life?

Life is not fair, and the only way government can make it fair is to spread misery. It plays to our lowest common denominator, not our highest aspirations. It must demagogue. Here is the list of entities we must hold in contempt so far: Big ,pharmacy, big box stores, big oil, corporate CEO's, fossil fuels, gas guzzler autos, talk radio, conservatives, FOX News, fast food,let's not forget, big tobacco. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

What we must embrace is big government and the future it wishes to rob from us, our children and grand children. Socialist government good, capitalism bad. Government can only give us mediocrity. Capitalism promises a better future to those who work for it. It offers more than just survival.

In 1989 it was yachts. They passed a tax increase on them. It decimated the domestic yacht industry. 70% went out of business. That meant good-bye jobs and the other businesses that relied on the yacht industry. This tax was repealed in 1993 and for good reason. Now it is corporate jets. Do you really want history to repeat itself? This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.
