California is at it again. Article Here
"Joe Six-pack will have to pay a lot more to get his buzz on if Assemblyman Jim Beall has his way.
The San Jose Democrat on Thursday proposed raising the beer tax by $1.80 per six-pack, or 30 cents per can or bottle. The current tax is 2 cents per can. That's an increase of about 1,500 percent.
Beall said the tax would generate $2 billion a year to fund health care services, crime prevention and programs to prevent underage drinking and addiction.
"The people who use alcohol should pay for part of the cost to society, just like we've accepted that concept with tobacco," Beall said."
Tax and Spend policies in America have gotten so far out of control. The founding of our country was on Freedom, liberty, and Personal Responsibility. Our current elected officals have lost site of this and now are pushing to control every aspect of our lives. It is time "The People" fought back and asked for the end of Big Government and a return to personal responsiblity!

Did Obama plagiarize? The Video says yes
Sen. Barack Obama was caught in copying a speech From Gov. Patrick. The Obama camp says they share style, etc. The Video shows it was rearranged but the same words. Sen. Joe Biden's 1988 campaign was stopped by a simiar charge. Will History repeat itself?

HillaryCare just gets scarier and scarier
Hillary Clinton went on the ABC program “This Week.” with George Stephanopoulos. George really pressed Hillary Clinton on exactly how her Universal Health care mandatory requirement would be enforced and wether it would include garnishment of wages. She responded by saying, “George, we will have an enforcement mechanism, whether it’s that or it’s some other mechanism through the tax system or automatic enrollments.”
HillaryCare is what is wrong with politics today. She thinks it is appropriate for the government to tell everyone what they should do. This is an outright assault on the freedoms we enjoy in this country. Her solution to a free market is to make it mandatory and her solutions are garnishing peoples wages, automatic enrollment, or raising your taxes. This is the kind of big government everyone should fear. What is next she will require me to join a gym and if I do not join they just take the enrollment out of my paycheck or raise my taxes.
This issue has moved beyond HealthCare. Healthcare needs to be reformed, but Hillary proves that she is not intrested in Freedoms and Liberties of the American People. She shows she is a Big Government liberal who is only intrested in expanding the Power and Reach of the Government. These unconstiutional grabs at power must be stooped regardless of what well intention reasoning is attached to them.

Hillary Clinton on Immigration during the debate, I hope she was kidding
I listened to the Demoratic Debate on Tuesday Night. As Hilary began to talk about Immigration as I was simply shocked. I felt that she must be kidding, but no laughs came. I guess Hillary is just that out of touch with the rest of America.
She started with her rant by saying those that harbored and aided Illegal Aliens were doing nothing wrong. She believes that those help these people as they commit their crime are just good samartians. Excuse me, If a poor person holds up a bank and I help hide them I sure am going to go to jail for aiding a criminal, what the difference.
Next she tells the crowd that it is our responsibility to help the illegals learn English. Actually it is not. If people want to come to America they can learn English all on their own. In all generations passed we expected Immigrants to learn English they were put in the same classrooms as any other kid and they picked up English and then they taught thier parents. We most certainly should not develop special programs to assist those that have willingly broken the law.
These statments just prove how out of touch Hillary Clinton and her Pro-Illegal Immigrant crowd is with mainstream of America.
