The Looters are taxing at so many levels. Everything we buy. The components are taxed. The labor is taxed, the materials are taxed, the transportation is taxed. The sale is taxed. The Wholesaler is taxed. The Retailers are taxed. Buyers are taxed on the purchase. If the owner wants to sell it used, it gets taxed again. Our income is taxed, our property is taxed. Our estates are taxed. Water is taxed.

The Looters say that they are just our representatives. That is not representation of any kind. Who but a politician would steal at gun point and try to claim the victim gave permission to be robbed. With ObamaCare city, state, federal tax now amounts to 110% of the average household income of $50,080 a year. THE AVERAGE FAMILY will not have money for food, housing, clothing or transportation. The AVERAGE FAMILY has been mandated into starvation by the Looters. They have killed the chickens, slaughtered the milk cows and demanded the corn be used in fuel.

With all that said. you can prove it. Just add. Clearly the Looters at all the levels can't do the simple math. Each agency, each level of government just want their 3-20%, but when the ObamaCare Tax is added at $20,000 or 40% for the average family, $10,000 or 20% income tax, $6000 or 12% SS and employment, $5000 or 10% school and property, 7-8% sales tax... What is left to live on? But our "Representatives are earning $178,000/year and the President earns $400,000 a year. The average US household makes $50,080/year.

Just do the math.

    In my state, for many years now they have tacked on a 3% surcharge to the electric bill...to pay for OTHER PEOPLES ELECTRIC BILLS.

    You see, the electric company cannot cut off electricity from deadbeats in the winter months. They're forced to provide service to people that won't pay. Therefore, to compensate this protected monopoly for their lost revenue, my state decided to start up their very own charitable organization called the "State Low-Income Assistance Fee". Every month, the people that actually pay their bills get 3% added on to pay for the ones who don't.

    I totally forgot about chipped ham. Oh yes, pop too. Soda usually implied it was mixed with ice cream, as in a Root Beer Float. Isaly's? What were the two main streets in Pittsburgh? I believe one was Lawrence (for food?) and I can't remember the other one, which was for everything else.

    exactly! (Keanu Reeves style) 'Whoa'. It's weird, no one else in the Gulch knows what we're talking about, unless they grew up in western PA.

    Yeah, you may have gov't permission TODAY, but tomorrow you'll be charged with performing an ILLEGAL action. Thus, "Shrug it", drop out & let them run it! I can almost hear the looters saying in response, 'oh crap! what do we do now?'

    I'm so sorry that is the crap you're dealing with daily. If you can shrug, do it! I applaud you for what you've achieved, just don't let the looters have any more of YOUR money and life.

    You can't. They don't want you to be IN business, that's the agenda. I am tired of swatting flies...

    It's like Eudaimonia testifying before the libs, falls on deaf ears. We did fight, but I just keep adding up the reasons to shrug. Facts don't matter anymore, only agendas...

    Code Words? Perverted uses of perfectly good concepts that can be valuable capitalist tools. They love to re-define words. We need to redefine their "Code Words". Flip the script on them. Garage sales are "Green". (Free enterprise, non-taxed, keep stuff out of land fills, keep cash in the community and create secondary markets.) "Green as in Cash"

    There's a reason why I gave you detailed instructions on how to get to the Brighton Hot Dog Shop! (That should be your top priority the next time you go there) Yeah, could be "Yins". Occasionally, the Western Pa in me comes out whenever I say certain words, like Saturday. I never can manage to say the "T" in it. It always comes out sounding like "Sauerday". Get it? I'm teased by my kids all the time. Also, words like "shower", PA-speak "Shouer", and "hour", PA-speak "houer" Weird, but that's the way it goes.

    What a joke. How the hell do they expect businesses to absorb that kind of expense? What kind of increase, percentage wise, will this cause you to push on your customers if you wish to stay in business?

    The following buzz words are code for communism: "Green", "Clean", "Sustainability" and anything with "Renewable". For more information, look up Agenda 21, the UN 'final solution' to humanity and the future. (Spoiler Alert: it's looking really dark out there) Finally, here's a great quote to keep in mind since the discussion is about run away gov't:

    “We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: The stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission – which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.” -Ayn Rand.

    They is utterly insane!!!!! You're running on minimum power, in the off season, and that's what you got hit with?!?!?! I am such a state of outrage right now I can barely contain myself! Have you said anything to, say, a non-lib news station? Even a left leaning one would be upset. The whole going after the little guy thing. I want to speak up on your behalf, I'm so mad!!
