NGA Opposes Obama Tax Plan

Congress did nothing to fix the problem in this last extension period, they just keep kicking the can down the road. Time to pay the piper for a while and then see if Congress can step up to the plate. BTW, the tax difference for an Entrepreneur at the $250K tax threshold won't pay to hire even a part time worker, let alone allow them to buy any significant piece of equipment. The real issue is that no one wants to pay taxes, but they want great schools and great roads and wars we cannot afford.

NGA seems controlled be self serving elites.

Fact: Giving the middle class a tax cut will help them spend more on grocery trips.
Fact: Having the wealthy pay the same tax rate under Bill Clinton will ease the deficit 1 trillion over 10 years.

I'm glad to see our leadership take a position for our membership.
Congratulations.

I'm so glad someone is so focused while the rest of us our being made to keep an eye on the ball, Obama Care & these miniscule changes in our tax laws. While all the while these Washington crooks are coming up with the next big hit on us, the American people; & when did we vote for these:

1. The likes of "Globalization" to develop other nations at our sacrifice & expense.
2. As we developed globalization - oh, we need an army to defend "capital" interests throughout the world. Oh, we can do that. Some even disguised as N.A.T.O. We are now the world's police.
3. The "Maquiladora" program that emptied out Los Angeles & took 1,000 factories across our Mexican border overnight.
4. NAFTA
5. We saw in CNN Genocides how we ignored the killings of millions of innocent people throughout the world where we didn't have a capital interest to defend, &, yet, Washington feeds us just how much to care about the possibility of killings in Lybia of maybe 2,500 people & we go in and kill & overthrow a government.
6. Then, there's Social Security. I started working at age 11 & I really don't know when I started contributing to Social Security, yet, changing our contract with our citizens, after maybe contributing for 40 years, & changing my retirement age to 66 is an abomination; I've never seen a retroactive tax law change as this was.
7. Then, our government employees organized, left our Social Security System, it's a Federal Act, my goodness; Got Congress to throw them a white towel to allow them to "opt" out of Social Security"; An unconstitutional act by Congress, if you run it through the Supreme Court. Then, these guys gave themselves big raises & 100% pension pay, 100% of their last year's pay whenever they retire.
So, the private sector gets about 20% and the
Public Government Employees get 100%. Can you believe that?

Are we intentionally pushing our American People to an American Revolt as we have never seen in our history?

Lastly, our "Estate Tax" should be repealed for all the right reasons that haven't changed from day one.
We shouldn't invite the world to bring their money here to create wealth, jobs, & security, &, then, hit them with this Estate Tax, known as the death tax, once they die & the transfer of wealth to the next generation takes place.

Good enough.
To my NGA leadership keep your eyes pealed & yell as hard and as loud as you can, on our behalf.
Congratulations. I'm grateful.
