Good Ideas

How many Iowa taxpayers are aware of the Senior Living Trust Fund?
It’s just another scheme to confiscate the income of Iowa workers for the purpose of more state control over our lives. And the lives of our parents and grandparents.

Iowa Finance Authority. Another Ponzi scheme to confiscate money from the taxpayers to finance business and fulfill some politicians wetdream.

Iowa Values Fund. Good to know that the State of Iowa is so willing to subsidize business through the confiscation of money from working Iowans.
Goodbye Maytag. Goodbye Bandag. Goodbye Heartland Handcrafted Homes Inc.
Goodbye who’s next. Unless taxes are again raised to attract new business. Like that will work.

Scene: a group of democrats sitting around a table sipping on their double soya, twist of cinamin, foamy on top lattes discussing a propasol for the next tax increase. They admit that the LOST moniker wasn’t the best, but Warren County hit the ball out of the patk with their SILO. Ooohhh! SILO sounds so, so, well so farmy!
We’ve got to beat that one!
After much discussion the moniker of Project Destiny comes to the front.
Ooohhh! Project Destiny! And we can sell this as a way to cut property taxes too!
The stupid sheeples will buy that! After all, they bought Prairie Meadows, an increase of the state sales tax from 3% to 6%, state sponsored gambling (well, OK…maybe those touch play machines were a bit much, but hey, favors were owed).
Lets have the people vote! Right away!
Later…..Oh oh, this CIETC thing has really hurt our chances. Let’s lay back for awhile.
Yet later: Hey! Let’s have a vote on the PD tax in July! That way most people won’t show up to vote against a way of funding our pet projects. Ha Ha! Those tax paying voters are too lazy to lift their fat butts out of their barcaloungers just to vote on a “penny tax” (a 16.75% increase but “penny” sounds so much better, don’t you think).

What the hell ever happened to the idea of business coming up with it’s own money?
As of today I demand that there be a statewide tax program to finance my new Porsche. We can call that program the PonU. It’ll only cost you a penny.

And head on over to absolutedesmoines.com to make a comment contrary to the administrator. Within hours, you too will be unable to post comments in a supposedly open forum.
Oh, and be prepared for personal attacks. That’s what kids do best when they are unable to defend their position.
