When reading the following quotes, think about Citibank, GM, and Chrysler under the Obama administration. He now has his sights on privately run healthcare. Obama is successfully melding the progressive movement with socialism through fascist techniques.

The corporate State considers that private enterprise in the sphere of production is the most effective and useful instrument in the interest of the nation. In view of the fact that private organisation of production is a function of national concern, the organiser of the enterprise is responsible to the State for the direction given to production.

-Benito Mussolini, 1935, “Fascism: Doctrine and Institutions”

“Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State”

One of the Facist slogans used by Benito Mussolini

If the US government was a person, I would advise financial counseling and introduce it to the Dave Ramsey show!!!

Belgium to impose tax on barbequing to fight global warming
03/04/2007 12:27 BRUSSELS, April 3 (RIA Novosti) – The government of Belgium's French-speaking region of Wallonia, which has a population of about 4 million, has approved a tax on barbequing, local media reported.

Experts said that between 50 and 100 grams of CO2, a so-called greenhouse gas, is emitted during barbequing. Beginning June 2007, residents of Wallonia will have to pay 20 euros for a grilling session.

The local authorities plan to monitor compliance with the new tax legislation from helicopters, whose thermal sensors will detect burning grills.

Scientists believe CO2 emissions are a major cause of global warming.

What is the carbon footprint of a helicopter searching for burgers on the grill?  The environmentalists are all about taxes and controlling your behavior through government.

Halliburton is planning to move it's corporate headquarters to Dubai.  As expected the Libs are livid.  Check out the article here… http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070312/bs_afp/usuaecompany_070312213245

"Does this mean they are going to quit paying taxes in America?" asked Clinton, a US presidential candidate.

"They get a lot of government contracts, is this going to affect the investigations that are going on? Because we have a lot of evidence of misuse of government contracts and how they have cheated the American soldier and cheated the American taxpayer," Clinton, speaking in New York, said of Halliburton.

Patrick Leahy said…

"It's an example of corporate greed at its worst," said Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy (news, bio, voting record), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

"At the same time they'll be avoiding US taxes, I'm sure they won't stop insisting on taking their profits in cold hard US cash," Leahy charged.

Let's look at Halliburton for a minute.  Aren't they a "Big Oil" company? 

There are huge oil deposits in the United States.  Oil was first drilled in Pennsylvania.  It is found in large quantities in Texas and Alaska.  There have been huge strikes in the Gulf of Mexico.  New technologies can allow us to process vast quantities of shale oil from Colorado.  We can produce fuel from coal.  One of the largest coal deposits on the planet is in Ohio.  We have resources here in the good ole USA.  However, environmentalist won't let oil companies drill for oil here.  Drilling for oil will destroy the planet. 

Oil drilling can only occur on the other side of the planet.  I find it ironic that we all live on the same planet.  As long as it is the desert in the Middle East, enviro-weenies are OK with it.  It is important that our security with oil be influenced by people who generally wish us dead (but enjoy our money).

If companies must drill for oil in the Middle East, why shouldn't they be managed from the middle east?  Have you seen Dubai lately?  It is turning into a Las Vegas style resort.   Have you seen the Palm Jumeirah Island?

As for taxes, maybe they will get a break (but I doubt it).  They are still incorporated in the US.  They will still pay US taxes. 

Halliburton has been the focus of a lot of anti-business venom over the last few years.  Maybe they are shifting toward a US exit strategy.   If you don't understand why a US company would look to shift overseas, you should read a "Clear Explanation of Tax Cuts" at…

Socialist politicians hate private business, but they love the tax revenues.  It funds the expansion of government…

"The other day the oil companies recorded the highest profits in the history of the world. I want to take those profits. And I want to put them into a strategic energy fund that will begin to fund alternative smart energy, alternatives and technologies that will actually begin to move us in the direction of independence."

Hillary said,"I want to take those profits."  The truth slips out?

When was the last time the US Government produced anything?  The private sector is where innovation occurs.  Clean energy independence will occur when government gets out of the way of private industry.  Vilification and punishing taxes don't help.

Teachers at Hilltop Children’s Center in Seattle, Washington are teaching socialism with Legos. This will make your head explode….

excerpt from the article…

Some Seattle school children are being told to be skeptical of private property rights. This lesson is being taught by banning Legos.

A ban was initiated at the Hilltop Children’s Center in Seattle. According to an article in the winter 2006-07 issue of “Rethinking Schools” magazine, the teachers at the private school wanted their students to learn that private property ownership is evil.

According to the article, the students had been building an elaborate “Legotown,” but it was accidentally demolished. The teachers decided its destruction was an opportunity to explore “the inequities of private ownership.” According to the teachers, “Our intention was to promote a contrasting set of values: collectivity, collaboration, resource-sharing, and full democratic participation.”

The children were allegedly incorporating into Legotown “their assumptions about ownership and the social power it conveys.” These assumptions “mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society — a society that we teachers believe to be unjust and oppressive.”

They claimed as their role shaping the children’s “social and political understandings of ownership and economic equity … from a perspective of social justice.
