Hillary And Sanders

Heaven And Hell

While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Senator was tragically hit by a car and died.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," says the Senator.

"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."

"Really?, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Senator.

"I'm sorry, but we have our rules."

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.

Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. 
They played a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and the finest champagne.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes.

They are all having such a good time that before the Senator realizes it, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises.

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him, "Now it's time to visit heaven...

So, 24 hours passed with the Senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity."

The Senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell."

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell...

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders.

"I don't understand," stammers the Senator. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?" 

The devil smiles at him and says,

"Yesterday we were campaigning, Today, you voted.."  

Vote Wisely

So Is Senator David Vitter For Or Against Common Core?

Vitter is running for governor of a louisiana. Recent comments in support of Common Core would disqualify him from that position. 

A Pen And A Phone

The Talking Turd pretended to have a problem with Bush's actions, but since becoming president has been more lawless than any other president in American history. It wasn't Bush's actions that Obama had a problem with. If Bush had been a Democrat, Obama wouldn't have cared how lawless he was.

The Truth About The Internet Sales Tax

The following is an a response I received  from my Democrat senator after requesting that she vote against the Internet Sales Tax, which is a tax increase of $382.5 Billion and will hurt small businesses which rely on the Internet for their living. Following that is some info from Grassfire which clears up some of the lies being spread by the Democrats and RINOs who support this economy killing disaster.

 Dear Sir:

During the past few months, there has been much misleading information about the Marketplace Fairness Act.  Thank you for reaching out to my office to express your concerns about the bill, its impact on taxpayers and small businesses.  I appreciate the opportunity to hear from you about this very important matter.

The bill does not create any new taxes, but allows states to enforce existing sales and use tax laws from internet sales, the same way local brick and mortar stores are required to collect sales tax on purchases.  Every day, businesses in Louisiana and across the nation are being put at an unfair disadvantage against online, out-of-state merchants that aren't required to collect and remit Louisiana sales and use taxes.  As a result, cities and parishes in Louisiana are missing out on hundreds of millions of dollars for infrastructure projects, renovations, and improvements. 

In addition, this legislation protects small businesses and individual online sellers by exempting businesses with less than $1 million in annual online sales from having to collect and remit any state sales and use taxes.  For these reasons, I supported the Marketplace Fairness Act and efforts to require sellers to collect and remit sales taxes to create a level playing field for all small businesses.  That is why I voted with 69 of my colleagues in the U.S. Senate to pass the bill. 

I appreciate the opportunity to hear from you and I hope you will continue to contact me on issues of mutual concern. Please also feel free to visit my website at http://landrieu.senate.gov for more information on legislative affairs or the Small Business Committee website at http://sbc.senate.gov for information regarding small business initiatives.

With warmest regards, I am

Sincerely,

Mary Landrieu

United States Senator

This ends Senator Landrieu's lie filled email. Following is the truth as investigated and reported by grassfire.com

From the Desk of:

Steve Elliott

The LIE -- This is not a tax increase.

The FACTS -- Taxes will go up $382.5 Billion.

Grassfire projects that the Internet Sales Tax mandate will result in a net INCREASE in taxes paid by the American people of $382.5 Billion over the next 10 years. This is a conservative estimate based on widely published projections that Internet retail sales will increase 10% compounded annually.

The LIE -- This bill is fair for local merchants.

The FACTS -- This bill punishes Internet merchants.

This bill greatly disadvantages Internet businesses (the lifeblood of the growth of our economy) by requiring them to track and report more than 9,600 sales and use taxes! An Internet business will be required to know, track, report and pay every single tax! This will create a reporting nightmare worse than ObamaCare.

The LIE -- It's fair for online retailers to have to pay.

The FACTS -- Online merchants should NOT pay out-of-state taxes, and for good reasons.

This may be the worst lie of all, and I didn't even grasp it until one of my associates made the point to me yesterday. Taxes should always be associated with some service the government provides. Sadly, in our modern tax-and-spend culture, we have lost any and all association between taxes and actual government services those taxes fund.

An Internet merchant in Iowa receives virtually NO services from, for example, the Virginia government and SHOULD NOT be forced to collect and pay Virginia sales tax. Our founding fathers would likely have called this taxation without representation.

The LIE -- Most consumers won't feel this tax.

The FACTS -- This new Internet Sales Tax mandate will hit the middle class the hardest.

This bill is squarely aimed at the middle class: home computer owners with high-speed Internet and "disposable" income who shop online. The Middle Class will "pay the freight," with each and every online purchase.

Thank you for the stand you are taking.

P.S. By the time Americans are ready to do their "back to school" shopping, Louisiana citizens could be forced to pay sales taxes to other state governments on Internet purchases -- a $382.5 Billion tax increase. 

Below is a screenshot showing a list of the Senators and how they voted. Those voting for this tax hike should be held accountable, and those not voting should be held accountable unless they have a very good reason for not voting.
