Take One For The Team: Mortgage Tax Deduction

Yeah, I'm willing to eliminate the mortgage tax deduction.  Yes, it would be a financial hit to me personally.  However, in return I would want some sort of financial accountability from the government (local, state, and federal) that they were actually spending money on worthy causes rather than spending on their cronies (Michael Allen cough, cough).   Taxes are wasted by giving $ on unchallenged contracts/jobs, an all expense paid trip to the Bahamas to observe Tiger Butterflies that may immigrate here in 2055, unchecked credit card expenses, and padding their own retirement accounts and voting themselves raises while others are suffering cuts.

Put your money where your mouth is, government.  You want more?  Of course the government does.  The government is an insatiable beast.  Government wants us as taxpayers to fork over more?    Of course they do.

Hint to top government officials:  You bleed first, then we will believe you.   Lead by example.

Yeah..... I see you scurrying under the rock trying to avoid this topic. 

Moonlighting in State Government

Just when I think the Santa Rosa Press Democrat is nothing more than bird cage liner....along comes a commentary about moonlighting in the California State Government.  Maybe the Press Democrat staff are reading my dumb-ass blog.  Whatever.

I've been telling you all for years that politicians don't give one ***k about you.  All they want is to make it to the next rung on the state political ladder where they rake in a salary/pension/benefits and only PRETEND to care about you. 

Look at this photo of a slick dick-head.  Michael Allen lost a local election recently.  He really does not give a _____ about you.  He got "appointed" to a state job that pays a living wage (which he SAYS he lobbies for).

Michael Allen is the epitome of everything that is WRONG with government.  He says he's for the working guy when all he really cares about are his own political appointments and status. 

Hint to Michael Allen:  take your cheesy game show host smile down to Southern California or where ever people are influenced by bright, shiny objects. 

Now the cry that California is broke and we need to PAY MORE TAXES.  Look at above photo and refuse.  This ass has been milking the system and will continue to do so until we SAY NO!!!!!!

Disclose the Office Budgets - NOW!

CA State Assembly Members are right now at this moment scrambling on how to cover up their obscene office budgets.  Only the honest ones will disclose immediately and not hide behind some bullshit "further direction" prompt that will more than likely be scripted smoke and mirrors tactics put together with yet even more nonsense politician logic.

Of course they're hiding something..... believe me.  They don't WANT you know.  

Hint to the public and to the press:  Keep digging.  Like I've said 1,000 times before, it only gets worse.  Don't believe for one minute that CA's budget woes are from keeping some library open.  The closer you get to the top, the more obnoxious and wasteful it becomes.  The politicians are all hands in the cookie jar.  You, dear taxpayers, are getting screwed without a kiss.

Noreen Evans: Mr. Ed

Can you spot the difference?  Or maybe the photos should be taken from the rear?  Still, I don't think it would help the populace out much.  An ass is an ass.... a rose by any other name..... is still.... Mr. Ed...whatever.  Pander to illegal Mexicans.  Tell us how you are for equality.  Yawn.  You and that Michael Allen slick-dick-head have a lot in common. Run for office in Mexico.  I'll buy your departure ticket PRIMO CLASS! 

Give Way to Bicyclists

Just when we thought we've had about all we can handle with the government issuing laws for common sense and general manners, along comes some other hair-brained politician trying to make a name for him/herself.  Let's see......  I know.......  LET'S PASS A LAW AGAINST CARS GETTING TOO CLOSE TO BICYCLISTS!!!! 

Personally, I always give bikes courtesy and plenty of room.  God bless them for getting their exercise and not polluting the environment.  It's something I personally admire and strive for.  We all should take a page out of their book. 

Ok... so..... tell me.... just exactly *how* is this new law granting passing room to bikes going to be enforced?  You think the sheriff, police, and highway patrol are going to be chomping at the bit to help out when you're trying to reduce their salary and benefits?  Do you think that Michael Allen will abandon DMV audits (checkpoints) to volunteer to hand out citations for bike buzzing offenders?  Somehow  I think not. 

I know... I have a BETTER idea.  People on cell phones are a DANGER and PUBLIC nuisance.  Let's pass a LAW against talking on your cell while driving.

We all know how that works out in reality.......DERP!

Driver Checkpoints

I've about had it with our politicians pandering to the Mexicans.  If they love Mexicans and their voting base so much PLEASE do us all a favor and just move to Mexico.  But WAIT.... it's a third world SHIT HOLE and our politicians DO NOT want to move there.  No DUH.  So WHY are they encouraging turning our country into an extension of a shit hole?  Bring standards up, don't bring standards down. 

Take traffic checkpoints as an example.  The only people who would be opposed would be:  drunk drivers, drivers without a valid license, drivers without insurance, etc.  If you are legit, you don't mind the minor inconvenience.  It's all about public safety.

Now some little kid has been killed in a cross walk by an illegal without a license.  To make matters worse, this was not his first offense.  Just how in the world do the pro-illegal whiners defend THAT?  I don't care if you're legal, illegal, or just vaporized here from outer space.  If you don't have a valid license, you don't belong on the road.  Period.  What's so complicated about that?  What's wrong with checking to make sure people really are obeying the law?  Nobody gripes about IRS audits (other than the cheats).  It just ensures that people are paying their fair share of taxes.  Think of this as an DMV audit.  Same principal.   It just tries to enforce laws in place.  DMV audits are even more important because nobody ever died from a false IRS form, but thousands of traffic deaths can be directly related to unlicensed, uninsured motorists.  For the Mexicans and the politicians whining about it -- PLEASE cross the border and don't come back.  Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.  If you really want to impress us move to Mexico and turn it into a SuperPower.

Silence.  I thought so.
