House Speaker proposes yet more Social Engineering

Friends this is yet another "You ain't gonna believe this chit" story!

Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House

Pelosi Wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income.

You aren't going to believe this.

Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall
Tax on all stock market profits (including
Retirement fund, 401Ks and Mutual Funds! Alas, it is
true - all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants
and other unemployed Minorities!

Boy, are we in trouble... This woman is frightening.
She says, "We need to work toward the goal of
equalizing income in our country and at the same
time limiting the amount the rich can invest."

When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent,
she replied: "We need to raise the standard of
living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For
example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal
immigrants in our country who need our help along
with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market
windfall profits taxes could go a long ways to
guarantee these people the standard of living they
would like to have as 'Americans'."

Does anyone else here see the socialism dripping from this demons lips?

Now see...here, I am torn. A little.

The idea of spending anything on illegal immigrants is, to me, right out. You don't get to enjoy any social services in a country you aren't supposed to be in.

But then again...

It's a fake!


(That pic's for any DS9 fans)

Check here: FactCheck.org: Did Pelosi advocate taxing "windfall" stock profits at 100%?
and here: Urban Legends Reference Pages: Nancy Pelosi Tax on Windfall Profits

Tsk...you gotta watch this stuff. People'll lie and smear and say anything sometimes to attack a foe.

Happens on both sides.

Hmmm seems reasonable, but then again having heard her on Cspan and the government channel a time or two I wouldn't have been too surprised that it were true!

That woman scares the bejeezus outa me!! She,s willing to do anything for those undeserving who want something for nothing, and those who sneak across our borders, or those who want speciaal entitlements. And yet, she never speaks out against those of her ilk who badmouth the very people who defend her right to be an ignoramus!

I'm eager to see what our liberal buddy troy2000's take on this will be.

This is the most unbeleivable crop of Chit I've ever heard in my entire life !!!
I'm to angry to make further comment, so I'll wait a while.
I hope what this ignorant woman said is quoted on the front page's of every news paper in America.

EDIT: I reread the link and I'm not at all against the rich paying there fair share of tax'es .
If they make more than they should pay more. Sorry Charlie !
But when it comes down to giveing Illegals entitlements thats CRAZY !!!
We do have poor people in a America and many that go to bed hungry everynight, for what ever reason they became this way, we have them and were stuck with them so we need to take care of them.
Then theres the sorry ass'es that want work and don't go to school, these should receive nothing and be forced to go to work.
The Bible say's: You don't work you don't eat and I agree.
Most working class in blue collar jobs have 401K's they'll end up being hit the hardest if this Ole Goat has her way.
There just ain't NO relief to the Ignorance comeing out of Washington D.C.


EDIT 2: She didn't mention wind fall profit tax's put on major oil companys did she ?

Dear Ms. Pelosi,

I am a poor white boy living in Denver, CO, where the Minority Races make up 52% of the population. I suppose that makes me the minority.

As an American, I believe I should be entitled to a vehicle that I do not need to pay monthly to upkeep. Too often do I see people in my neighborhood with brand new Escalades, big shiny wheels and music systems that will rock the neighborhood. Sure, their houses aren't all that pretty, but the car...wow. Now, THEY know what is important to Americans.

As an American, I believe my standard of living would go up if I could stay home and watch TV on my government and high-income family provided Plasma TV.

Ms. Pelosi, this is a plead for your help. Please endorse and address a personal check in the amount of $25,000 to me addressed to:

Mike H.
1234 No Way Out Drive
Denver, CO 66666

P.S. Our family is tired of living on Roman Noodles and Kraft Mac & Cheese. I would like to be able to pay for more, but I am holding out for a 'management' position. So, please help!

Sincerely,

Mike H.

Maybe we should ALL try that! Imagine how much more positive we could be with a check from Ms. Pelosi. Where's she really from, anyway?

Guys.

It's fake.

Been circulating since about 2006.

Save the outrage for something somebody actually said. No reputable newspaper will quote it because she didn't say it.

Woah there...woaaaaaaaah. *pulls on reins*

Heh...fished in, fellas.

Now mind you, I myself an strenuously opposed to giving illegal aliens any sort of social services and am also for instituting and enforcing severe penalties for companies that knowingly hire illegals. If the produce industry can't sustain itself without paying less than minimum wage then they better get a better business model. That's how capitalism works.

The only "free" thing illegals should be getting in this country is a ride back to Mexico, courtesy of Uncle Sam!

This is yet another attempt by the Democrats to buy the next election with our tax money. Their voting base is poor and ignorant and think they are entitled to your money. Happens every election cycle.

Can you be more specific?

The Rep base is neither especially poor or ignorant. The tendancy is NOT to increase social programs.

Funny... I just have that uncontrollable urge to slap her. (or the TV, whichever comes closer)...

Nah ... I'd charge it to the Mexican Govt... it is their job to patrol the border too. Obviously someone isn't doing their job... and someone isn't being allowed to do their job.
