Government Protection Racket Is Emboldened


THE GOVERNMENT PROTECTION RACKET THRIVES            December 19, 2012

More Malfeasance & Misfeasance at the “Big House on the Fayetteville Hill” accompanied by a comment from one of the legislature’s court jesters.

Where else but in a government operation could an employee ( Mike Choate, U of A)  in the course of his position responsibilities end with a $3.1 million shortage (no not shortfall), and placed in another job retaining his salary in the tidy sum of $348,175 per year, plus perks.  Not funny Magee, make that not funny Chancellor Gearhart…another example of political protectionism.

Mike Choate the manager for the Advancement Division, the Big House’s fundraising arm, let his budget officer Joy Sharp take the fall with a salary reduction and transference to some nebulous position.

Gearhart’s featherbedding operation, laced with all sorts of malfeasance & misfeasance, rolls on without any retaliation by the Governor and state legislature. Gearhart struts around like a golden peacock, but why shouldn’t he, e.g. he violated U.S. immigration law 8 USC, Section 1324a, 1325, in full public view with the approval of Gov. Mike Beebe, the Ark. State Legislature (except one, Rep. Jon Hubbard) all law enforcement agencies and no government agency laid a glove on him.  Selective law enforcement, which now appears to be rampant.

Correction please: One lonely cry from a state legislator. The cry comes from one of the famed Jeffress brothers, Senator Jeffress, renowned for his extensive travel at taxpayer expense but not quite the magnitude of U.S. Senator John “the travellin Man” Boozman.

Back to the point, Senator Jeffress made an excellent observation on Chancellor Gearhart’s conduct on the one hand, accompanied by an ironic blunder on the other.

The Senator stated, with reference to “Big House” Chancellor Gearhart and his two underlings Choate & Sharp–“Out in the real world this kind of activity would get you fired”.  Of course, but  Jeffress’ is one of the last folks around who would be acquainted with a “real world” experience, e.g. Jeffress has been on the taxpayers’ teat for decades—school teacher, Justice of the Peace, Ark. House of Representatives and the state Senate.  Wonder how much taxpayer largesse he totes home each month?  The Jeffress brothers have argued that government positions are equal to the private sector in generating taxes, not understanding that the private sector’s earnings underwrite all government, and this guy was a school teacher!

   Big House Chancellor Gearhart should be fired along with the other two miscreants, for this and other operations in which he has instigated and indulged.
Spending other peoples’ money is the easiest job in the world and we have an inordinate supply of taxpayer money blood suckers at all levels…bureaucratic & political.

Education Foreign Aid


WHAT’S THE PAYOFF FOR BEEBE, HUDSON, & WELCH?            December 11, 2012

Another Grand Theft of taxpayer dollars—Arkansas taxpayer dollars transported to Mexico to educate Mexican nationals to work for the 500 international companies located in the rich Mexican state of Queretar.

Theft, absurdity, asininities, and lies, brought to you by Ark. Gov. Mike Beebe & friends.

The above partially describes the unmitigated treachery & conduct of Arkansas State University’s imported Texas Tech transplant, Chancellor Tim Hudson, accompanied by ASU System President Charles Welch, undergirded by the illegal & unqualified interim Director of The Dept. of Higher Education, Shane Broadway and Gov. Mike Beebe. How long is temporary Gov. Beebe?

The proposal brought forth by the aforementioned individuals was partially accomplished by (drumroll please) ASU Trustee Dan Pierce, bloviating that what they were initiating was the first step in becoming a global university and he was honored to make a motion to accept this.

Therefore; what are these self-anointed elitists residing in Jonesboro and Little Rock, AR up to aside from their blatant traitorous attack on middleclass Arkansans?
These pseudo-educantists and smarmy political hacks are dead-set on creating an Arkansas State University campus in the Mexican state of Queretar, as previously stated acknowledged to be a materially rich Mexican state with more than 500 international companies, some Fortune 500’s, including American giant Boeing Aircraft.  Why?  Taking middleclass Arkansans money by force to subsidize and educate a foreign population is at best traitorous. In Welch’s own words “The area is vibrant, growing and affluent, and has a rising middleclass”. The U.S. middleclass is stagnant and moribund. The gall of their proposal!  Education cabals and long-term political activists are all corrupt to the core and have no regard for our state’s citizen taxpayers. Their plans have already been crafted without citizen knowledge and perhaps there are those in the legislature who are not aware of the ASU global anointing. Their plans are reminiscent of Gov. Mike Huckabee bringing to Arkansas a Mexican Consulate which was and is a violation of Section I, Article 10 of the U.S. Constitution to warehouse and transport illegal Mexicans & OTM’s to work sites in Arkansas, Tennessee & Missouri. If their proposal reaches fruition Hudson & Welch announced they would send ASU students to study at the Mexican ASU campus.  At what cost and for what purpose?

The collective sponges offer up a host of untruths.  Under their proposal ASU will use federal funds to pay for the “startup”.  The U.S. federal government currently owes $16.4 Trillion and these self-serving buffoons are advocating for federal funds? Imagine the cost of this bureaucratic nightmare. What Hudson, Welch, and Beebe are demanding is simply foreign aid for Mexico. Hudson & Welch admitted that Arkansas taxpayer money would be channeled into the richest state in Mexico—Queretar.  

 Are Hudson, Welch, Broadway, Pierce & Beebe suggesting that Mexican nationals residing in the rich Mexican state of Queretar are not intelligent enough to create universities and educate themselves?

What Hudson & Welch are involved in creating is simply Fascism. Fascism is a nexus between government & corporations, and the government is the CEO while the corporations are allowed to function as long as they operate under the strict edicts of the government.  Citizen participation? Funding—citizen tax dollars!

This group has no affinity for U.S. sovereignty and individual rights.  They are busy setting the stage for the transitioning of the U.S. into a 3rd World multicultural gulag.  Note: Democrats have pursued the goal of 3rd World multiculturalism for decades and as of Nov. 7 the now irrelevant Republican Party adopted the Democrats mantra—AWOL from the Fiscal Cliff & joining the amnesty parade.  A Constitutional and moral government would realize the economic and cultural burdens that both the Democrats & Republicans have conferred on middleclass Americans and would certainly pursue strong measures to correct these constitutional & legal oversights.   Residing in the U.S. are 25-35 million illegal Mexicans & OTM’s (no, not 11 million) who are uninvited nesters/parasites and soon to be provided amnesty. 

Who still says we are a free people?

The organization known as the “Advancement of Mexican Education” claims they will underwrite any deficit in the first 2 or 3 years after classes begin.  How benevolent, coming from the richest state in Mexico.

ASU projects that the program will ultimately be completely self-supporting.   A bald-faced lie.  When has any government entity ever been self-supporting—never!  Funding for education, all divisions lobby government at every level constantly for more funding to subsidize their failures.

ASU Chancellor Tim Hudson tried to create this traitorous endeavor while at Texas Tech Univ. Lubbock and yes, there were myriads of consultants.  Summing up education in Arkansas—a dismal failure.  As this is being written, Gov. Beebe & state legislators are preparing to dump millions more into the failed K-12 system where 51% of high school graduates must receive remedial instruction before attending regular college classes.

Hudson, Welch would better serve our state’s educational woes by transferring their education energies into Arkansas full-time.  The fact is the educational cabal is corrupted top down, e.g. the Univ. of Arkansas and the Univ. of Central Arkansas, and to be Politically Correct individuals in positions of power & authority continue foolishly and self-servingly calibrate education with taxpayer dollars.

Taxpayers Subsidizing Government Protection Racket?


For the Government and by the Government—expansion on parade        November 4, 2012

Is it ethical and legal for a local government agency, in this case the Fort Smith Police Dept., to couple with an out of state lobbying agency to endorse and/or fund candidates for the Arkansas State House? 

Today’s Times Record featured an ad endorsing 5 State House candidates paid for by an organization based in Georgia known as the Southern State’s Police Benevolent Association—a government union.  The ethics speak for themselves.  Is it not unethical for the Fort Smith police department which is subsidized by the private sector to hire or engage an out of state organization to lobby representatives of the Arkansas State House, regardless of taxpayer wishes?

What do the Fort Smith police intend to receive for this possibly unethical endorsement?  From an outsider perspective it is an enhancement of the government protection racket, i.e. salaries, pensions, etc.

A curious statement made by the Police Benevolent Association urges voters to” support strong, fair and effective law enforcement” by voting for their endorsees.   So, what does this statement mean? Does it imply that their 5 opponents would not be in favor of “strong, fair, and effective law enforcement”?

The candidates the PBA has endorsed are:
1.    Tracy Pennartz—candidate for AR. Senate…a triple-dipper, termed out of State House, Arkansas Counseling & Guidance Center retiree,  supports Obamacare, supports adding another ¼ million to Medicaid welfare and runs a taxpayer subsidized consulting business.
2.    Stephanie Malone—seeking reelection to State House, a double-dipper employed by government (Fort Chaffee Redevelopment Authority—what arrangements have FCRA made with Ms. Malone salary-wise while she is languishing in the legislature for 5+ months if reelected? That said, is she really needed in that government operation?….a protection racket) Wants to increase term limits to 12 years and niece of Sen. John Boozman.
3.    Steve Breedlove—if you are a believer in free enterprise & individual responsibility, the worst possible combination for citizens to send to the state legislature, e.g. a retired 2 term legislator, a former school teacher & administrator, and doubling as a preacher….a double, double dipper & perhaps more.
4.    Wolf Grulkey—a friend of the backroom bully boy (Mike Beebe), states unequivocally that he’s for “education”, which is a code word for more FUNDING…remember—Funding Follows Failure
5.    Charlene Fite—another long term school teacher, supporter of the failed government school system and would stand foursquare for more taxpayer dollars to fund it.

It is past time when government employees, past and present, stop being elected to the State House where their conflicts of interest abound, along with featherbedding, and where double-dipping is the rule and unbridled growth of government is the end result.

A Government Protection Racket?  You bet.  Where are the Fort Smith Mayor & City Directors on this issue? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

FUNDING STILL FOLLOWS FAILURE


THE EXCHEQUER AND THE PAYMASTERS                November 1, 2012

Bureaucrats belly-up to the bar and instruct the paymasters the amount of funding they demand for the next 4 years.  Remember, private sector taxpayers, Funding Follows Failure.
 
The Exchequer long ago also made his demands to the paymasters that he wanted to add a ¼ million deadbeats to the welfare rolls, but now the Exchequer is not sure if the paymasters can muster the amount of dollars to fund the Exchequer’s criminal desires.  We shall see.  Note the Exchequer refuses to identify the demographics of the proposed welfare increase.  How many legal and illegals are in the proposal, but how could he, he has stated on numerous occasions that he did not know how many illegals are in the state and on welfare—which is a lie—remember that word FUNDING? 

The Exchequer and the paymasters dancing to the attendance of teacher unions are prepared to increase yearly funding into the government schools by $21.8 million per year. Nowhere to be found is what areas of the government schools this money is to be spent, generally or specifically, i.e. teacher’s salaries, new edifices, pensions, or would you think it might be to improve the watered down curriculum?  Remember, Funding Follows Failure.

Moving on to the Univ. of Ark. Fort Smith, Chancellor Paul Beran sidles up to the paymasters’ window and turns in his demand which is $3million more per year. Again, no hint as to Beran’s intentions on how or where to spend his filthy lucre.  Is it more trips to China, is it to purchase a downtown building already paid for twice by taxpayers, a downtown academy for the “disadvantaged”, an “entrepreneurial” school, and numerous other misdirected “visions”?

How long would you think it would take the Exchequer & Paymasters to determine 2 colleges in Pine Bluff, AR is just not feasible, justifiable or sensible?  To further pique questions, would you think the Exchequer & Paymasters are aware or would question the remediation rate at one of those colleges, particularly when the remediation rate is 85% of first year students?  Most of this pathetic number can and should be directed at the Arkansas government K-12 system!  Remember, Funding Follows Failure.

Citizens, don’t you get all touchy & feely when you hear the governor & politicians parrot “the funding is for education” or when they endlessly repeat the asinine absurdities of “making a difference” or “giving back”?  What we have elected in Ark. State government is mostly a collection of self-serving buffoons.
 
On one other note to demonstrate the direction of Ark. State government & specifically the government school system, note Exchequer Beebe profusely endorsed double-dipping Steve Breedlove—retired 2 term state legislator, former school teacher & administrator. Guess where Breedlove’s allegiances lie?

Joe McCutchen
P.S. Just think what the Flagship’s demands are!

Specific names of Double-Dipping government types



(More specifics in Arkansas on “Fat & Sociopaths Rise to The Top”)

What a Fine Kettle of Fish & 3 Sets of Double-Dippers=government employees running for the same office.              October 19, 2012        
  
BY THE GOVERNMENT & FOR THE GOVERNMENT

Conflicts of Interest!    Feather Bedding!    Growing Government!        Double/Triple/More-Dippers!

The individuals listed below are a microcosm of the huge numbers of state & local government Double-Triple Dippers which are striving to expand their economic base while increasing their influence in government i.e. a protection racket. The following are active, appointed, hired, or retired government personnel seeking further government employment, with one exception.

1.    Bill Gossage (R)—Asst. Superintendent of Ozark schools—vying for a House seat.
2.    Betty Overbey (D)—Retired State Revenue Agent—current State Representative seeking re-election—husband worked as Aid last session. Supports adding 1/4 million Arkansas residents to welfare rolls (Medicaid).
3.    Stephanie Malone (R) –Marketing Director Ft. Chaffee Redevelopment Authority—State Representative seeking re-election. (A twin)
4.    Tracy Pennartz (D)—Navy, Western Arkansas Counseling & Guidance Center, now runs Pennartz & Associates (source of revenue?) counseling business, termed out state representative—seeking a state senate seat. Supports adding ¼ million Arkansas residents to welfare rolls.(Medicaid).
5.    Doris Tate (D)—Retired Sebastian County Clerk seeking Malone’s seat—if elected would be enabler for open borders, more illegal cheap labor championed by the Chambers of Commerce for which she works. Supports adding ¼ million Arkansas residents to welfare rolls (Medicaid).  (A twin)
6.    Charlotte Douglas (R) –Retired School Teacher—seeking State House Seat. (A twin)
7.    Steve Breedlove (D)—Retired 2 term State Legislature, former school teacher & administrator—seeking same House Seat as Douglas. (A twin)
8.    Gary Deffenbaugh (R)—Retired School Teacher—State Representative seeking re-election—Van Buren.
9.    Kathy Guthrie (D)—Chief Deputy Circuit Clerk—seeking office of Sebastian Co. Circuit Clerk. (A twin).
10.    Denora Coomer (R)—Circuit Court Administrator (25 yrs)—seeking office of Seb. Co. Circuit Clerk (A twin)
11.    Jim Medley (R)—CEO of Area Agency on Aging-(Fed. & St. $,s..a tax eating behemoth)–6 years in State Legislature, seeking J.P. seat
12.    Ken Pyle (R)—Richard Griffin enabler at HUD—Navy, Westark—reportedly receives 3-5% of every federal HUD dollar spent locally (incentive to spend more tax dollars?) The Fort Smith Housing Authority run by Richard Griffin & Ken Pyle is legally & fiscally independent (not accountable to) from state & local government, therefore; why is the Fort Smith city government, in land & dollars, subsidizing Griffin’s murky operation with taxpayers’ money? How can the Fort Smith Housing Authority possibly be fiscally independent from state & local government when they are dependent on taxpayer dollars? Are you aware that HUD’s regional offices now have their own police forces? Why?

Government self-servers; all at the expense of the taxpaying producers, in one or more ways.

Educators are the most dangerous in state government. Why? Their unions (AEA-NEA) have destroyed what formerly was known as Public Schools, e.g. teachers’ unions have become the dominant partner in the relationship with elected officials. They set tax & borrowing decisions. Couple that with P.C. language semantics that people don’t understand. Public employee unions negotiate pay & benefits that citizens can’t rewrite (a protection racket).  Public Service Employees’ pay-scales are on average 21.3% higher than the private sector. Why is this? There is no proportionality between government & private sector pay, in my opinion, a crime. The private sector generates the opulent revenues that subsidize government, for instance government schools are likened to a city-state empire, e.g. Fort Smith School Superintendent Benny Gooden enjoying a year sabbatical in Washington, DC from school duties while carrying out the alleged educational edicts laid out by DC bureaucrats and working to expand the voice and influence of a Superintendent’s Union.  The irrevocable tragedy here is simply that local control of schools has been stolen & destroyed by DC bureaucrats, self-serving state politicians and educrats….and observe the consequences—children can’t read, teaching the test, inflating grades, dumb down curricula, ad infinitum—all in the name of keeping the multicultural gulag in a social swirl. Observe Clinton’s Goals 2000, Bush’s “No Child Left Behind”, and Obama’s “Race to the Top” to the point that education is a former shell of itself resulting in a corrupt numbers game.  By the way is Dr. Gooden receiving his salary while on sabbatical and who is paying his travel and related expenses? FUNDING FOLLOWS FAILURE!

Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe and some members of the legislature are fanning the flames to dump another $53 million into the government school system in the coming 2013 legislative session. More money directed toward school edifices & teachers’ salary increases? If so, another crime perpetrated against the producers.

Some of the ways Government employees can & do influence/abuse the system:
For example—a school teacher seeking a state house/senate seat.
1.    Legislative sessions on average last 4.5 months=a school semester, does the district need the teacher? Answer, no. Meetings and travel can easily add up to 6 months per year.
2.    A plethora of perks continues. Most of which are not available to the private sector.
3.    The above practice lends itself to feather bedding, e.g. every school district regardless of size is overrun with deputy, assistant, etc. Superintendents…a vulgar waste of taxpayer money.
4.    FOIA’s reveal that in some cases partial or full salaries are being paid to government employees while the legislature is in session. A case in point, Supt. Bill Gossage, what financial arrangement is in place should he be elected? Is he really needed?
5.    The AR. State Legislature is infested with government employees.  More influence wielded by public service unions, not available to the private sectors who subsidize Government union employees.
6.    Public service unions set tax & borrowing decisions rather than follow from them. All government branches are unionized. Whose interest do you believe government employees represent first—yours or theirs?

Citizens, if you support efforts to reduce the size of government, want no more precious  freedoms stolen, lower taxes; the cessation of ever increasing numbers in government– employment/salaries/pensions/leave times, etc.  a vote for a government employee is indeed self-destructive.  If both candidates for the same office are already receiving government checks, refuse to vote for either, show your disdain for their unethical conduct.

A FACT: THE U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS PUT ARKANSAS IN THE TOP 5 STATES IN THE COUNTRY IN GROWTH OF GOVERNMENT JOBS—MELD THIS WITH THE EXTREME TAX BURDEN ARKANSAS LEGISLATORS, COUPLED WITH PAST & PRESENT ARKANSAS GOVERNORS HAVE LEVIED AGAINST ARKANSAS CITIZENS IS OBSCENE AND BORDERS ON CRIMINALITY.

Retort to editorial re expansion of welfare


“Money? Naw, Don’t need it.”                September 13, 2012

$16+ Trillion national debt, $75-100 Trillion unfunded mandates, Social Security, Medicare, & guess what…MEDICAID!  What money, Mr. Brummett?

Gov. Beebe, in addition to conferring instant welfare for one quarter million Arkansas residents, goes on to state that these hordes will be on welfare for life.  No mention how many illegal Mexicans, OTM’s and deadbeats will be in the trough.

This one I really am enamored with: Gov. Beebe has extracted a written assurance from the federal government that a state government could opt into the Medicaid expansion for a while then opt out.  Why sure, Governor.

It is noted in your piece that you use the word WE 12 times.  Tell me Mr. Brummett, who is WE?

Marxist regimes always fail, but only after they destroy the host—in this case the republic of the United States of America. OBSERVE!

P.S. You seem to be saying Mr. Brummett, if we don’t take the money (printed out of thin air) someone else will, the heck with morality, ethics, fiscal responsibility, and common sense.

Politicrats Pillage & Plunder


The Economic Nosedive to the Abyss is almost Complete.        September 12, 2012

Economic atrocities continue to be launched at Arkansas citizens, this time by UAFS Chancellor Paul Beran & Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe.

 In the first case, Chancellor Beran in his grand bloviating style posed some questions to an “Advisory Board”.   “Where are we going to put a dorm?” “Where are we going to put a new building?” “We have to get some professional advice”.

Why did Beran ask the Advisory Board at its regular meeting the aforementioned questions?  The deal has already been cut. Beran revealed that a $350,000 award had been made with architectural and planning groups…from Rogers, Arkansas, to Michigan, to Colorado. No local flavor? Spending other people’s money is the easiest job in the world and Beran & friends have developed it into a fine art.  They never give thought as to the funding source, i.e. producers, nor do they care.

Anyone who believes educational cabals are not awash in taxpayer funding while our national debt is $16 Trillion & growing, accompanied by $75 Trillion in unfunded mandates is a fool.  All alleged education enterprises are unholy government/private alliances, steeped in failure, while their main achievements are growing government and enhancing their government protection rackets.

Citizens elect and appoint official Boards to watch over and protect the wishes and legitimate needs of citizens, this has proved not to be the case, e.g. Fort Smith School Board, UAFS Board, and City Directors…most if not all are firstly propelling their own private interests.  You surely don’t believe that they are that enthralled with “ouch” public service, do you?
Politicians, and in this case bureaucrat Beran, are busily driving economic stakes into the hearts of the producers!

Fast forward to our 30 year Public Servant, Obama loving Gov. Beebe.

It is simply beyond breathtaking that this man comes out fore square and is willing to put One Quarter of a million more Arkansas residents on welfare. Following that treasonous position he creates another add-on…”I don’t think that it’s very likely that once we extend Medicaid to all those people (notice he did not say citizens) that we will take it away”.  WELFARE FOR LIFE!  AND OH YES, IT’S FOR VOTES. HOW MANY ILLEGAL MEXICANS & OTM’S ARE INCLUDED IN THE QUARTER MILLION?

More vintage statements echoed by Beebe to ingratiate himself to the masses…examples: “I’m for it”. “Folks that don’t have insurance now are out there working their tails off”.   “They’re not just sitting on a couch somewhere just asking for something”.   “They’re working”.  Governor, these are bald-faced lies, you have NO idea who they are or what they are doing.

Citizens, I’ve already said it and will say again, if your trust is in politicians or bureaucrats…you are fools.

Arkansas officials increasing welfare rolls as taxpayers suffer


Who’s promoting the Medicaid (Welfare) Expansion?                August 16, 2012

Is it a small business owner? Is it the factory worker? Certainly not. 

Who proposed adding 250,000 more illegal aliens and deadbeat Arkansans to Medicaid?
I gaze down at a newspaper photo that identifies 3 Big Government types—Andy Allison, State Welfare Director; Surgeon General Joe Thompson; and Insurance Commissioner Jay Bradford.  Is Bradford the same guy who moved back and forth between Pine Bluff & Whitehall to escape term limits?  Does he own an insurance company doing “state business”? (Like my good friend Percy Malone?)  Certainly these 3 are going to promote welfare expansion, they all will benefit, directly or indirectly.

Have any of you legislative juggernauts and/or government types ever questioned productive citizens who are paying for all this grand theft to see if they approve of said theft?  Additionally, have any of you ever discussed a cutoff date for dispensing the unconstitutional and ill-gotten welfare largesse, or are you willing to kill the Golden Goose?
Allison and DHS made 3 bombastic statements.

1.    Allison told a Medicaid panel, “Expansion would provide healthcare coverage to a large portion of Arkansans who cannot now afford health insurance (your proof?), with most of the cost paid for by the federal government”.   Spoken like a true parasitic bureaucrat and where the hell does Allison think the federal government gets the money? Pols like to call this “free” money.
2.    Allison goes on to say “I personally believe we have the obligation to help the poor…..”  Who is we, Allison?  And what is my obligation to your faux generosity?
3.    The State Department of Human Services has estimated that with the influx of federal dollars the state would see a net savings of over $372 million in a few years.  Same mentality as Allison. I reiterate to the fools in the DHS, where do you think the millions come from?
Do any of you legislative juggernauts know what percentage of Arkansas’ total population are on some sort of welfare check and do you know how many illegals are slopping at the welfare trough, and do you care? Does oversight and generational welfare ever come into play in your conversations?

While the nation and state are sinking like a stone you clowns add more sinking weight, so by all means dance to the music provided by the aforementioned Three Stooges. 

But what can we expect from legislators, but not limited to, who engage in nepotism?

P.S. It doesn’t hurt to just say no….try it, you might like it.    $16 TRILLION and counting.
  

The eternal quest for more taxes/forced redistribution


Northwest Arkansas socialite comes to town.                August 4, 2012

Arkansas Highway Director Dick Trammel spoke before the Fort Smith Chamber of Commerce, fanning the flames for more highway taxes.  Trammel states that it will be a TEMPORARY Tax…just how many alleged temporary taxes have ever expired?

Trammel does not know any more about building highways than he did when was a cheerleader for the Razorbacks in the ‘50’s and now a camera favorite of the Ark. Democrat-Gazette’s society section.
 
All taxes need to be cut, then cut some more, and if the so-called “public servants” can’t function efficiently with reasonable amounts of cash, then let them hit the road, and good riddance.

Don’t forget, the Chambers of Commerce are open-borders, cheap labor, big government advocates and therein lies the heart of the problem, couple that with massive 3rd World immigration, legal and illegal, and phony wars on “terrorism”, bankster corruption, dumbed-down education, welfare fraud, etc. all compliments of government at all levels. By the way, throw in Wal-Mart and other outfits destroying highways hauling their cheap Chinese products in the name of the lie “Free Trade”.

Craig Douglas, spokesman for the highway tax advocate group, Move Arkansas Forward, (what do you want to bet he is on the taxpayer dole) and the M.A.F. is right out of Barack Obama’s Marxist playbook of “Forward, Forward, Forward”.

No more taxes….Cut, Cut, Cut.   For instance, do you believe any citizen has any idea what the real dollar wealth of the state of Arkansas is?  The consummate insiders do and you will never know…and it is in the billions of dollars. Don’t be conned anymore by these self-serving political/bureaucratic parasites!

Government running amuck!!


The wholesale corruption in Arkansas state government has run amuck.  Definition of corruption…putrid; infected or tainted; depraved or debased.        July 19, 2012

For those who may have read, I admonished each of you that you are about to destroy the last vestiges of the best healthcare system in the world. 

We have a president and a Democrat party base that have foisted upon American people a system of healthcare that is impossible to pay for,  one that is steeped in healthcare rationing, numerous hints of death panels, and 21 new tax hikes.

The Obama “Affordable Care Act” (sic) is a nation killing piece of legislation and if carried out to its maximum potential will utterly destroy what’s left of the once preeminent republic of the USA.

Gov. Mike Beebe is quoted as saying “he is leaning more heavily toward expanding the state Medicaid program in light of projections that increased federal spending would mostly negate the state’s expenses”.  A preposterous statement.

The governor is more than willing to continue his criminal activities, one of which is stealing money, expanding the size of government, and creating more dependency on government.  Gov. Beebe has publicly stated he had no idea how much money and other entitlements that illegal aliens are consuming, while his administration has expanded the size of the illegal alien magnet.   During Beebe’s tenure as governor he has increased the size of Arkansas state government by 4,000 new positions and in these perilous economic times recently awarded state employees 1, 2, 3% pay increases.  The arrogance of this palooka, the citizens who subsidize the corrupt Arkansas state government are struggling mightily and he has the audacity to give cost of living pay raises to government employees. 

Who came up with magic number of 250,000 more individuals into the welfare trough, and how many of the 250,000 are illegal aliens?  And what is the basis for the 250,000?
Beebe is quoted as saying “legislators need to consider what is best for Arkansas regardless of their feelings about the federal law”.   Governor, federal law is precisely what they should base their “feelings” on.   Marxist Communism has never succeeded. By the way, why did you say “what’s best for Arkansas” and not what is best for citizens…and I emphasize Citizens.
Beebe follows up with the statement “We’re going to pay those same taxes as Arkansans to the federal government”.  Who is “we” governor?  The governor then uses the age-old political canard without regard for morality or ethics stating “Do we let New York take it, and California take it, and Florida take it, and whoever, and tell our people NO?”   Yes governor, that is precisely what you do.  May I remind you our nation presently owes $16 TRILLION?  Where does the welfare scam end?  And why are you not speaking of the illegal alien invasion consuming our state’s resources, e.g. all but destroyed the public schools, healthcare, ad infinitum.

State Representative Uvalde Lindsey who hails from the Communist city of Fayetteville said “DHS’s numbers will need to be studied, but call them ‘heartening’”. Lindsey goes on to say “It’s the right thing to do to expand Medicaid to cover more folks”.   Spoken like a true Parasitic Bureaucratic Communist. Bet he’s a buddy with fellow traveller, G. David Gearhart.

Learning how to say no and taking command of the ship is not difficult.

The United States is rapidly being taken over by a Communist regime headed by President Barack Obama, a Marxist Communist who knows precisely what he is doing.

 How many 3 percenters are in the legislature?
