Why the Pay Czar is bad...

AAL 2:

So I got a response to my facebook status....

"YAY We're all going to going to make less money! YAY for hope and change (and if you think it's just the rich that are screwed you are sorely mistaken)."

This is in reference to Obama's nomination of a Pay Czar. To "reform" (they used every word they possibly could without admitting it's a "cap") exectutive pay. And what started as a two graph response morphed into a full fledged essay, because I wanted to be as thorough as possible.

Even without going to the fact that revenue and buisness investment and jobs created all increased after the Regan Tax cut lets just think about it terms of President Obama's own words.

His stated goal is to "spread the wealth around," which lead to his campaign promise was not to touch anyone making under $250K/yr (see cu blogword OWL). According to the most recent IRS Data in 2006, The top 5% for income earners ($154K) payed 60% of the income tax despite earning just 37% of the income.

Okay we're going to have to deviate here in the context of President Obama's budget. Obama is going to spend $3,500,000,000,000 (3.5T, but I think we need the zeroes for effect) in the budget approved. Right now our tax revenues are just over $1T. To make up for this shortfall Obama assumes he can raise another 1T by letting the Bush Tax cuts expire (which I obviously question, but will let slide for the sake of argument).

But people in the top 5% are paying an average tax rate of 21% (keep in mind this does not account for any state, local, sales taxes or user fees).

Back to why the Pay Czar is bad,

If they drop the incomes of people in this bracket, that's less income they tax, plus the risk they would then be paying at a lower rate if they fall into a smaller bracket, which seems foolish beacuse these are the people he's counting on for $1T in tax revenue by letting the Bush tax cuts expire. Either they will be paying a percentage on less income, or a smaller percentage on less income, unless Obama is so determined to raise his $1T that he will have to...

1) Raise taxes on the lower brackets (not just the people above the OWL)

2) Print money (which devalues all dollars in circulation, which raises prices, which is essentally a pay cut for everyone).

Both of which would be disasterous for the economy as prices would skyrocket (inflation from printing money, essentially a pay cut for everyone) and would raise unemployment. I believe unemployment hits the least qualified among us first, then paying out unemployment benefits puts a further burden on our budget (not that I'm against all forms of welfare, I'm just stating the fact there is a cost to society for it).

Of course I think the easy solution is not to propose a $3,500,000,000,000 budget in the first place, and give tax cuts to encourage buisnesses to hire and invest. (though admittedly it would probably take a few years to recover from this deficit). However, Obama will likley take the route of higher taxes, because the left generally rejoices in assigning higher percentages to higher income. But in the end, we're staring at inflation, fewer jobs, less pay for lower level jobs, therefore cutting everyone's throats in the end.

Pres. Obama's a hypocrite again...

AAL4:

After chiding buisness execs for using corporate jets for their cross country transportation, and also after chiding people for taking junkets to places like Las Vegas, Pres. Obama is flying the first private jet to sin city to raise money for the biggest sinner in the Senate, Harry Reid.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/05/barack-obama-harry-reid.html

True Observation #2.
The worst sin according to a liberal is hypocracy (Note: rule only applies if the hypocrite is a conservative).

Every left winger in the world delights in the (loosly percieved) hypocracies of conservatives, but President Obama is being blatantly hypocritical here. But I suppose I'm an idiot if I expect a nasty liberal to realize this.

If a conservative did it...

The title of this blog is like the OJ book, but it is to introduce a new feature to conservative uncensored.

Imagine these headlines...
1) Bush administration releases memo to be on alert for "left-wing extremists."
2) Governor Sarah Palin buys stock in spouses employer after securing earmarked funds from state legislature, before the deal is announced.

Imagine what Olberjerk-off would do if these things were true. Hell not even anyone as extreme as Olberjerk-off, how would the SCUM at CNN, ABC or CBS report these things? Many of you have figured out what I'm driving at, here's what really happenend this week.

1) Fire Napolitano

http://video1.washingtontimes.com/video/extremismreport.pdf

DHS Chief Janet Napolotano released a security memo last week to be on the alert for "right-wing" extremists (linked above).

Now I've read into the memo. Admittedly it starts by talking about the most extreme racist factions. But why did the government use the term "right-wing," instead of racist, or militant-relgious. If you read further down (bottom of p.4 on the linked pdf) you see...

"Many rightwing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearms ownership and use."

Think about this, you can be defined as an right-wing extremist if you happen to believe
*In the preservation of the 2nd amendment
*There should be a reduction in social programs
*If you believe in people coming to the country legally.

What is mind boggling about this is that this is exactly the kind of thing the left accused the Patriot Act of doing. But people crying out against the Patriot Act are incredibly silent about this, because this is persecution of opposing ideas, not their own. This is in Black and White, plain as day an attempt to The height of hypocracy.

Republican's have resigned over far less, Napalotono's head should roll, except for the fact Pres. Obama doesn't give a damn about the constitution.

2) DiFi (new CU blogword, CA Senator Diane Feinstein) caught in insider trading

http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/apr/21/senate-husbands-firm-cashes-in-on-crisis/

DiFi has been caught earmarking money for his husbands firm who benefits from all of this real-estate bailout money. Her Husband's firm got $25B from the taxpayer and he with the rest of the board made many millions more by repurchasing stock without disclosing this inside information.

Read the story for yourself, it's 9 pages long, but you get the details about how DiFi's husband and company made money off of $25B of our taxpayer dollars, sick.

Pirates and Foreign Policy

So I was very excited to find out that three Pirates were shot dead for holding an american ship captain hostage off the coast of Africa on Sunday morning.



Congrats to President Obama for getting a successful conclusion. However, it seems that the Navy's seals orders were only to fire if the hostages life in danger and this directive was not in place until Saturday Morning. This seems to be why the Navy wasn't able to assist the first time the hostage tried to escape.


While I do congratulate President Obama for whatever part he had (which is a matter of wide debate) in getting the best conclusion possible, I think President Obama will need to be judged on how he handles the future.

This threat won't go away and the lives of those that carry aid and goods to that part of the world are in jeopardy. So far we took one captive, where are we goign to keep him. If only there was a prison off our shores for the dangerous enemies of our nation that were still open.

But the point is will Obama take a proactive stance and use the military to make the shipping routes safer, or will he hope this goes away by ignoring it. Unfortunatly I believe one who set a record for voting present is likley to do the latter, but we'll wait and see.

Best of the Media (new cu blogword, new segment described below).

I try and take in the news and opinions I can. This clip comes from the Chris Baker show, 7-11am weekday mornings on KTLK in Minneapolis/St. Paul. It's a funny parody of a famous 70s classic describing Obama's foregin policy as defined by his recent world tour.

Red Eye! and New Blog Features...

AAL1:

I just want to say a word about my favorite show on Fox News Channel, "Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld." This is my guilty pleasure every night and the big reason to get a DVR if you can't handle the 3am eastern timeslot.

This show is simply awesome in its irreverence, yet brilliance. Andrew Brietbart wrote a great review:

"In an era of extreme political correctness, when almost everyone is offended by almost everything, and with self-appointed advocacy groups organized to find offense on behalf of almost everyone - offensively, without the majority in the group's consent - it's nice to know that there's a place to go where everyone can be offended almost all of the time. "

Anyway you will notice a "Red Eye" video feed from foxnews.com's RSS service on the right hand side of this blog.

Also I added RSS feeds to many other conservative pundits and blogs. I want this blog to become a simple hub where you can get overloaded with the best conservative media on the net. Please let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see here :).
