Illegal Alien Invasion-
The American people are facing an influx of 20 million illegal aliens.There is no doubt that theri presence will impact this country negatively. How shoudl we approach this problem? What can be done effectively to keep our counrty and our values intact? do we grant amnesty because it is the easy option? Or, do we try to control the border? Is it possible tostop giving away Amrerican jobs in America? or , would we just be wasting our time and effort to try do keep people who want a better way of life from entering our free country?

Windfall Tax on Retirement Income
 
  Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people, you're so darn stupid that we're going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you. That's what the Speaker of the House is saying. Read below...............

  Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income.  In other words tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is a nut case! You aren't going to believe this.

  Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds! Alas , it is true - all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities!

  This woman is frightening.
  She quotes...' We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn't Marx say something like this?), in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.'  (I am not rich, are you?)

 When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:
 
'We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'.'   (Read that quote again and again and let it sink in.  'Lower your retirement, give it to others who have not worked as you have for it'.  

 Send it on to your friends. This lady is out of her mind and she is the speaker of the house!

Sorry to contradict, but these quotes from Pelosi have been shown not to have been made, and are just an urban legend. We have enough actual problems with Pelosi and others and should not have to get hot about non issues.

 

Nancy Pelosi Windfall Tax on Retirement Income

By David Emery , About.com

"Comments: False. Astute readers will have recognized the above as a caricature of Nancy Pelosi's left-of-center views (and a poorly spelled one at that), not her actual words. None of the statements here attributed to her (some of which are so nonsensical they stretch credulity even for a politician) are to be found in the public record.

The earliest version of the spoof I've found, dated October 22, 2006 (just before the national election which ultimately resulted in Pelosi being named Speaker of the House), credits New York Times reporters Walt Bogdanich and Gretchen Morgenson for this supposed "interview." No such article was written by them, however, nor was it published in the Times.
