"Can The Tax Coalition" Fight For Unfair Beverage Tax

"Just because a judge has allowed this unfair tax to go forward does not mean Cook County should do it."

"This tax hits families, Cook County families with enormous price increases, place at risk 6,100 middle class jobs, harm 1.3 billion in economic activity, and will devastate our small businesses by sending shoppers to stores over the borders."
"Can The Tax Coalition"

A new tax has been voted by the Cook County Commission in Illinois. It can include up to 1,000 juice drinks, sports drinks, flavored water, iced tea, lemonade, and even diet drinks. I say even diet drinks because the law was to tax sugared products only.

The tax will hurt sales as people are refusing the tax which will range from 30% to 70% above the average cost of their drink. A two litter bottle of clear liquid drink which normally runs 99 cents can have a 67 cent tax on it. 

Can The Tax Coalition calls for a repeal of the Tax before it causes a fall of the economy and loss of jobs.

Many stores are already returning the products to the companies they came from because of products are not moving on the shelves.

My feeling is how can the government stop us from buying what we want to buy in a store? Are they not overstepping their authority and taxing something they have no business taxing as most items in a store are already taxed once. Does not this open Pandora's box for the government to make a second tax on anything they want to tax?

This is still America and the government is choosing for us what we should buy and not to buy. The last time I checked this is not Russia and people can buy what they want to buy and should not be hindered by a large tax on what they want. 

I am in agreement, the law needs to be repealed and taken away before it causes economic downfall. It's a bad tax and needs to be removed before it harms sales in Cook County

"Political Rhetorical Terrorism" - Heated Rhetoric On Social Media And In The News

Rep Rodney Davis, R-Ill said "Wednesday's Shooting, in which House Majority Whip Steve Scalise
and several others were wounded - This was the result of "political rhetorical terrorism," that has to stop."


Davis was at bat when shot in Alexandria. He said he credited his security detail with helping prevent the attack from being a lot worse, calling the officers "true heroes"

Sen flake "We dove into the dugout. The shots were fired for at least 10 minutes"


Sen Paul "without the capital Hill police, it would have been a massacre.

James Hodgkinson, 66 years old, went on a rampage to apparently try to kill as many as possible. Is this the way to solve our political problems?

A call from both Ryan and Pelose had the same ring there must be more unity in congress.

Never before in my lifetime have I heard such hated language made against a President. Never also have I seen so many lies told about a president. There must be some kind of working together to get the country back on it's feet. Jobs and the economy must be our most important issue at this time.

This rhetoric is out of hand and can we expect anything less than what has happened? We have had months of division and critical talk even on our major news channels against this president. How can this country make a come back if this is all there is on the news every night. The political realm has to curb down and have some decency and respect for this office. We are still the greatest country on this earth but we won't be if we don't channel our thoughts to better things and better times ahead for us. A country divided can not function nor can we have our congress working together if there is fighting and rancor on the floor of the congress.

I like what our President said this morning "Everyone who serves in the capital are here because we love our country."

Our prayers for those who suffered harm this morning. Especially remember Matt Mika a volunteer worker and is in serious condition.

Where Our Country Would Now Be Headed Under Hillary

Under Hillary we would be headed in the same direction Obama has taken us. Right now corporations are paying 44% on taxes. Hillary would have increased that in trying to find funds to increase revenue for entitlements. President-elect Trump is lowering that to 33% taxes on corporations, loosening the bind put upon them by our government. Once in place this will be an incentive for corporations to hire and increase productivity, and to aid in purchasing more goods they need to build their businesses.

Knowing his end is near Obama wants to place a federal regulation baring states from defunding Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers. Announced the Friday before Labor Day the HHS rule would bar states from denying Planned Parenthood millions of dollars in Title X family planning funds.

Since 2011, 13 states placed restriction on sub-awards with specific types of providers.                       "We've known all along that the Obama administration will go to untold lengths to protect it's friends  in the big abortion industry." Congresswoman Diane Black R-TN. "After all this administration has used back door maneuvers to line Planned Parenthood's pockets with Obama Care navigator grants and praised the abortion providers 'high ethical standard' even after it was caught trafficking in baby body parts".

Now they have taken the unprecedented step of thwarting states rights with a shady proposed rule change that prevents states from funding the providers who will best serve their citizens.

Look for other moves from the Obama administration in it's last days to pass rules and funds underhandedly to their friends in high places. He no longer has Hillary to count on. But there are still many out there he can count on.

Hillary Wishes Trump To Be Successful

Tim Kaine, Hillary's running mate speaks for Hillary on her building of her team. Hillary's supporters are hurting as most supporters would be after such a hard fought election. Hillary's theme was empowering families and children. Hillary speaks and there are tears in her eyes, the glass ceiling is not broken. Hillary first words are  "I hope he will be successful." She speaks of the painfulness of the loss. "Our country is more divided that we thought" she says.

I write these words because one of our biggest concerns should be about the division in our country. We need a healing in our country. How can our country continue without the lessening of these divisions. Our country needs and must start functioning together. The old adage "United we stand and divided we fall remains true." There needs to be a coming together. Are we not One Nation Under God?

Our country is on it's knees. We are broke, we are out of work, we are suffering as we have never suffered in this generation before. It is  time for us to come together.

Last night I liked Trumps humility. I liked his message. He won because the people felt a need for change. He won the hearts of the people by a message no one else had. He saw the need.

We need to rebuild relationships once again with foreign countries, even Putin sent a message to meet with Trump. And we can never forget our friends in Israel.

This is my hope for America, To be once again the America we have come to know and love. To become a leader in manufacturing and also world trade. To become the America where it is safe for children to run and play. There is a big job ahead and our future depends on it. To make America the America we once were.

God Bless America

Hillary's America - To Remove The Sins Of A Corporate World

Hillary has not spoken  about her theory of a "vast right wing conspiracy." This concept came from a youth minister who came to her church. Not only did he teach about a group of people who were perceived as the enemies of progressives, he opened her eyes to a larger sphere. Even a world where atheist's denied the "existence of God." He believed in a Christianity that taught major fallacies. He brought forth a much purer form of religion, that of a man named Karl Marx. For two years he indoctrinated his pupils and Hillary soaked it in.

Hillary believes in the sins of corporations need to be cleansed by the government. That corporations should be run by the government. That profits from those businesses must be given to the people. She has clearly stated this in her campaign speeches. She also believes in a Marxist teaching in a government that raises the children.

Along with corporations she believes private businesses should be controlled by the government. She will be Obama's equal in that while he went after medicine she will go after business. She clearly explained at the Convention that she would use the Supreme Court to write laws to tax the corporations. To do this means serious changes in or American system.

These teachings that lie within her are early Marxist teachings against a free Enterprise system the was taught needs reform even to the point of revolution.

Hillary's America will resemble nothing to the America we Love and Respect.

Robin Hood Hillary's America

Beware of an America with Robin Hood Hillary as head. The supreme court would fall into the hands of the progressives. Hillary says she will have this court to write laws. This is a way she could get around the process in congress. Guess she doesn't know there is three parts to our government. She will write laws concerning corporations. Like Obama went after medicine, she will go after the corporations. She says she will take the profits of the corporations and give the money to entitlements. Robin Hood Hillary will take from the rich and give to the poor. Problem is Hillary, after 8 years with Obama many of our corporations are fighting to stay alive.  In fact Hillary with your zeal to go after the corporations you could wipe out some businesses and the surplus they needed for the new year will now have been taken to grow their company.

Guess we don't learn our lessons very well. In 1948 Roosevelt tried the same thing. He took the corporation's profits, to help his New Deal. What happened? It plunged our country into the worst depression we have seen so far.  With our economy deep in debt could she plunge us even deeper? Is this the future picture of Robin Hood Hillary's America.

Government take over of medicine has crippled our medical system. And now the dragon fly will dip into her Obama Koolaid and take over our private businesses that people have spent their lifetime and money to build. 

Both Medicine and businesses need to be left free to operate on their own. Over regulating our business's has brought us to where we are.  A simple definition of socialism is the government take over of business. Yet every time it is tried it has failed.

Capitalism is what has built this great nation.  We must not let Robin Hood Hillary's socialistic ideas take over this country.

Hillary Calls for Christians To Give Up On Abortion

Yes, Hillary calls upon Christians to give up on abortions. After all, in her thinking she is going to win and we don't have to worry anymore about these troublesome Christians fighting for right to life. But I really wonder Hillary would you have wanted Chelsea to give up your granddaughter? Or do these rules apply to others but not yours? We have been at the present on a average of 1,000,000 abortions a year. It is estimated that about 34 million babies have been given no right to come here since Roe Vs. Wade. We have taken away a generation of people. A generation that could now be working and paying into Social Security. A generation that never rode a bicycle, flew a kite, or saw a sunset. Even though there is an alternative, women could go to safe housing until their children are born and giving the mother a right to keeping her child or adoption.

The progressives are even calling for abortions to be done until birth, The time we call them in our society a person. Forgetting that they are people at the time of conception according to our heavenly Father. And even some calling for a time when children can be taken up to 2 years of birth.

This woman who wants to break the ceiling is not the person people realize. She has fallen into the hands of the far left. The only way to stop her is not to vote for her. And to not fall into this group of people who have no respect for life. The most precious thing God has given us is life.
