Politician's Brains....

I've come to the conclusion that some sort of warped, Vulcan mind-meld takes place once a person wins political office.

Here's the latest example:
"Perdue wants 1¢ sales tax hike"

According to the article, this increase will be "temporary" until sometime next year. The last time this happened to North Carolinians was during the run of Governor Easley - who is of course being investigated for "good old boy" connections - well after the deeds have been accomplished and the money - gone.

He imposed a "temporary" tax increase in 2001.

We're still paying it. Politicians, during the mind-meld, must lose all regard for honesty, or the truth, or a lie being just what it is, a lie.

In the meantime, spending is out of control and government grabs at taxpayer dollars is about as transparent as I have ever seen it - this is saying a lot.

There has to be a better way to run a country. We, the taxpayers, pump billions and billions of dollars into local, state and federal governments and for what? The "we need more" mantra. And they whip out "the children" like they are really just the poster children for taxpayer fraud.

Anytime they want more money from you...these "children" get mentioned. This has no effect on me since I have no children and I am paying a huge portion of my local taxes for "schools". This is in an area that has LESS non-immigrant children than 3 years ago - but MORE immigrant children and yes, I mean Hispanics and yes, in my town, half of them are illegal or anchor children.

So Governor Perdue, put away the "children" flag...it won't fly here.

Until you cut funding to illegals and you limit government spending, you won't get any additional $$ from me...if I have to move from the State of North Carolina to make it happen.

I'd really like a move to Switzerland but their immigration laws are too strict...

Go figure....
