PTC council deserves a little TEA on Wednesday

Harold Logsdon is nothing but a tax and spend liberal. He's no more of a financial expert than the local used car salesman in Union City.

It's time to recall the mayor and tell him we've been T-axed E-nough A-lready!

Can we burn an effigy of the mayor at city hall?

What's all this fuzz about a tea party? I love tea, especially the one from Ceylon. Can somebody tell me if there will be free tea tomorrow and where?

your handle is so apropos...now you are telling us that this "tea party" thing is by invitation only?...so that only the "right" people participate? Quite a revolution being foisted over on the populous. Keep the faith.

Even a dead fish can go with the flow.

I never said it was by invitation only or only the "right" people could be there. Those that want to participate are free to join. Just like me choosing not to join the Million Man March. But, why get on here and ridicule those who choose to go?

It was a rhetorical question. Read into it what you want though....

I'm not sure I can discern whom or what you mean by, "you guys all support everyone else..."

And as I clearly stated above, I AM a regular Joe Taxpayer. But not one so foolish as to think a rally at noon in an ostensibly bedroom community (i.e. one whose residents work elsewhere) in the name of taxpayers is going to actually attract many working taxpayers. Nor am I so foolish as to think we can have a functioning society without an unfunded government. Perhaps you have issue with the accountability of that government and that's fine. But advocating a cessation to paying taxes at all is tantamount to anarchy. Besides, these clever "tea parties" are nothing more than knee-jerk reactions to media hype over something that's been around since the dawn of organized nations and governments. There is nothing inherently unique about the current socio-economic climate of USA circa 2009 that makes it any different than any other similar time in history.

I always find it amusing when those who rant about paying for government see nothing wrong with availing themselves of any of the services that government provides. So unless you're totally off-the-grid, a tax protest will always have a tinge of hypocrisy to it.

In short, calm down, go to work, relax and this too shall pass.

Lindsey, I think that a better example would be to show our immigrant community we are PROUD TAX PAYERS. A conservative acquaintance of mine conveyed a story where her immigrant family members proudly displayed their tax bills. Take Skyspy's advice. Go to the TEA party and tell them to support their great nation and proudly pay to fund the government we Americans voted for. Then, vote them out in 2010 and 2012 if you are unhappy with the results of their legislating.

No one I know supports or is proud of ILLEGAL immigrants, because they are criminals.

We support our country not the illegal-criminal-immigrants they let in.

The difference is one generation of immigrants who came here LEGALLY and the current brand of worthless garbage who are ILLEGAL CRIMINALS!

One group of immigrants took pride in paying their own way. The other group of ILLEGAL MOOCHERS want to freeload and see how long they can get away with it.

Do you actually have any ideas or suggestions of your own for solving this problem of criminals? Does your whole life surround shadow boxing on the blogs?

Why don't you grow a pair and put your bank account where your liberal mouth is, and pony up some jack for the ILLEGAL CRIMINALS!
Better yet, why don't you grow a pair and express your own opinion instead of taking pot shots at other people. Do you have an opinion of your own?

You are good for a laugh. Keep defending the illegal criminals. You are a great advertisement for the dems.

Love the angry black man avatar, really....Why didn't you pick the one where he is flipping us off?

"why don't you grow a pair and express your own opinion instead of taking pot shots at other people. Do you have an opinion of your own?"

Pot shots? Like the ones you take anytime the letters N A A C P are beside eachother in this paper?

Pot shots like expressing "hatred" of illegal immigrants and calling them "worthless garbage?"

Skyspy, it is FINE with me for you to refer to people as such. We just have very different thought processes. You constantly try to imply that if one doesn't use slurs and hate towards illegal immigrants, they must (somehow) support illegal immigration. That's called leaping logic and it does not work in crafting an argument. I believe we penalize employers of illegal immigrants to effectively fight the problem, but I will not personally hate these people or feel they and their families are worthless garbage. I happen to know for a fact that many, many illegal immigrants are quite wonderful people who actually have value to this Earth. That's one area where our thinking diverges. The other is in your preoccupation with all groups black.

You, out of a lack of knowing, tried to say that blacks are the only group in this country with race-specific churches and organizations here:

"I would like to go to a "white church" do we have any of those left that the naacp hasn't shut down yet? How about a "white" only neighborhood, or golf club? Don't all start typing at once."

Jeff gave you a caucus list which included Hispanics and Native Americans.

DM and Main posted on Whites only neighborhoods.

And I brought this "whites only" golf course story to the blogs when the RNC had their elections,

but you fell as silent as republicans under Bush's tax code and ignored this information because it doesn't help your partisan argument.

Yes, Skyspy, I'm a partisan shadow boxer. You are a partisan shadow boxer. Your boxing team just happens to be very, very vocal after getting their butts whipped last November.

Alas, I guess we can just leave it at that, but don't get all apoplectic when someone dares address statements you or your conservative buddies make. That's why they call this a blog and not a "think tank."

Oh, and I don't think I am an "advertisement" for the democratic party, but I don't seem to be hurting the dems on a national level.... yet

ps. Grew 'em.... been enjoying them for years, thank you very much Eye-wink

STOP HIRING THEM!! Those who employ illegals are also criminals. Let's deal with all criminals as provided for under existing law! There are certain industries here that would have job openings immediately for unemployed Americans. Construction CEO's may be in jail for a while; also those execs in the clothing industry in this country - oh well. This isn't a partisan issue - it's a legal issue.

Submitted by skyspy on Wed, 04/15/2009 - 7:31am.

I'm doing my small part by never hiring them. I probably pay more for lawn care and remodling projects, but I'm practicing what I preach. It feels good.

Have a good week, the next couple of days will be beautiful.

I doubt it, but he doesn't want to admit it. They ( the illegals) cause a lot of destruction here. We shouldn't have to pay for it.

What has happened to one of my favorite Navy men...Hutch? Have you heard from him? He is my favorite next to my dad and my brother.

Cy are you back here or on the road?

Good for you. The next 4 or 5 days should be perfect spring weather.

We certainly pay too much in taxes, but PTC is only a very small part of your property tax bill. The county and our very own Fayette/South Clayton school system is about 60% of that bill. Other county taxes are about 25% - meaning PTC taxes are only about 15% of the total.

Harold is no more the problem than the other 4 on council. And Harold's replacement won't be any better or any worse. Even county taxes pale in comparison to what we are facing at the federal level.

Millions of Tax Returns Will be Filed Fraudulently: Earned Income Tax Credit is Used by Illegals and Scam Artists to Get Undeserved Monies

"The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is the largest anti-poverty program in the United States -- and the most illegal-immigrant friendly," explains Edwin Rubenstein, author of the new report. In 2007 the General Accounting Office reported that between 27% and 32% of all EITC claims were "improperly paid." That's upwards of 6 to 7 million+ households -- approximately $12 to 14 billion dollars of fraudulent EITC payments in 2007 alone.
