SEE: Obama's economic recovery plan on track in Senate (http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_11651739?source=most_viewed)
In addition to Collins and Specter, Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine pledged to vote for the legislation.
These three “Republicans” are about to agree to ignore our written Constitution and aid Obama in a massive subjugation of the limited powers granted to Congress by our Constitution!
For example, federal money in the bill for public school systems established under state Constitutions, is not only beyond Congress’s spending powers, it also comes with the left wing agenda to seize control over the minds of our nation’s children, just as was the case with the No Child Left Behind Act, which was just the beginning of a planned federal takeover of public school systems.
But that is what tyrannical governments are all about… brainwashing a nation’s youth. Our Marxists in Congress need to gain total control over state established public school systems to usher in their Marxists plans, and this is what Obama’s federal handout to the states is all about --- A POWER OVER A MAN's SUBSISTENCE AMOUNTS TO A POWER OVER HIS WILL( ____ Hamilton, No. 79 Federalist Papers).
In Obama’s case it’s a power over the various state’s subsistence will amount to a power over the various state legislatures! This is exactly what SCHIP is all about, tightening the iron fist of the federal government over the people's health care needs.
Collins, Specter and Snowe are agreeing to subjugate Federalism, our Constitution’s plan! They are acting traitorous to the oath of office they took to preserve and protect our written Constitution.
What is not un-constitutional is allowing the people in the states to keep their own hard earned paychecks so they may then meet their economic needs without becoming dependent upon the federal government which now seizes their paychecks and taxes them into dependency!
And what could be the most important “stimulus’ Congress could now enact which is not included in Obama‘s plan? Ending the tax on working people’s paychecks and substituting it with a federal luxury tax laid on specifically chosen articles of consumption ___ a kind of tax our founding fathers intended under the “excise” taxing power, and was successfully used until Congress tried to increase these taxes beyond reasonable levels. Keep in mind excessive taxes laid upon articles of luxury are regulated by the market place, and this is what a tyrannical government objects to --- it wants direct access to working people’s paychecks which has an added advantage of taxing them into dependency upon folks in government!
For a recent application of this tax [taxing articles of luxury] see The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c101:H.R.5835:http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c101:4:./temp/~c101exSUxe) click on 4. “Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Enrolled as Agreed to or Passed by Both House and Senate)[H.R.5835.ENR]”, after which you may scroll down to TITLE XI--REVENUE PROVISIONS, and then click on :
PART III--TAXES ON LUXURY ITEMS
`SEC. 4001. PASSENGER VEHICLES.
There is hereby imposed on the 1st retail sale of any passenger vehicle a tax equal to 10 percent of the price for which so sold to the extent such price exceeds $30,000.
`SEC. 4002. BOATS.
There is hereby imposed on the 1st retail sale of any boat a tax equal to 10 percent of the price for which so sold to the extent such price exceeds $100,000.
`SEC. 4003. AIRCRAFT.
There is hereby imposed on the 1st retail sale of any aircraft a tax equal to 10 percent of the price for which so sold to the extent such price exceeds $250,000.
`SEC. 4006. JEWELRY.
There is hereby imposed on the 1st retail sale of any jewelry a tax equal to 10 percent of the price for which so sold to the extent such price exceeds $10,000.
`SEC. 4007. FURS.
There is hereby imposed on the 1st retail sale of the following articles a tax equal to 10 percent of the price for which so sold to the extent such price exceeds $10,000:
Note that the outrageous 10 percent imposed upon certain specific articles because of Congress’s greed caused diminishes sales of those consumer articles and adversely affected the luxury boat building industry which in turn immediately prompted Congress to repeal the tax in 1991 (http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=102&session=1&vote=00263)
Had the tax on luxury boats only been one or two percent it probably would have been paid without much resistance. But, the tax was an outrageous 10 percent and the market place responded to limit Congress‘s greedy desire for revenue. As documented in Federalist No. 21, our founding fathers carefully devised a tax plan allowing the market place to prevent an “extension of the revenue” and avoided class warfare now engaged in under a tax laid upon the wages of labor.

Black working people who support Obama are absolutely correct when they say, as a general statement, “its all about the Benjamins”. But they seem to be easily conned into surrendering the “Benjamins“ they earn to "agents of change" who merely seek to change the faces of those holding political plum jobs within the inner circle of the Washington Establishment. Do black voters not realize they will be betrayed by Obama's "agents of change“ and remain tax slaves ___ useful to work and pay taxes to feed political plum job holders on our federal plantation?
