Political Pistachio Radio Revolution Addresses Income Tax Thievery by the State of California:

Last November the State of California began acting upon a new scam to suck more money out of the populace. The state is broke because the leftist progressive idiots of California’s government can’t seem to budget. The thievery is being accomplished by increasing the income tax withholding allowance by 10%. By taking more money out of our paychecks, the state is literally taking more taxes, while calling it something else. Problem is, the tax is being withheld unconstitutionally, and illegally.

The State Constitution of California requires a vote to approve any increase in income tax. A vote never went to the State Congress. The governor and his cronies decided, without asking anyone, to increase tax withholding, claiming that technically it isn’t a tax because they plan to give it back at tax time.

What’s the difference between borrowing without permission, and stealing?

President Obama and ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos had an unexpected battle on Sunday (is ABC then going to join Fox News on the NoBama list of rejected networks?). Stephanopoulos dared to challenge The One by asking whether or not the president’s health care plan includes a tax increase.

Of course, Obama claimed it didn’t have a tax increase (Obama has gotten really good at lying… have you noticed?)

Stephanopoulos asked when referring to the mandatory coverage clause, “Under this mandate, the government is forcing people to spend money, fining you if you don’t. How is that not a tax?”

Obama responded, “No, but — but, George, you — you can’t just make up that language and decide that that’s called a tax increase.”

Stephanopoulos pulled out the dictionary and read the definition to Uncle Barry. “I don’t think I’m making it up. Merriam-Webster’s dictionary [says] ‘Tax, a charge, usually of money, imposed by authority on persons or property for public purposes.’”

A Thief in the Night was a film I watched as a young man during the seventies. The plot circled around The Rapture, and as a Christian I found the movie very intriguing. A scene that still speaks to me in my memory began with a woman waking up and hearing her husband’s electric razor buzzing in the bathroom. She gets up to see the shaver rumbling on the sink, and he is not there.

The other part of the film that stands out in my memory is the United Nations’ role in pulling together a global effort to deal with the event of millions of people worldwide suddenly vanishing. United Nations vans cruise the streets as the government officials search for anyone not willing to comply with the new emergency measures they had to take. The government system that arises is called UNITE (United Nations Imperium for Total Emergency), and is primarily set up to find those who do not receive the mark of The Beast, which identifies them with UNITE.
