House Passes Huelskamp Sponsored Buffett Rule Act

On Wednesday the U.S. House of Representatives passed by voice vote the Buffett Rule Act of 2012 (HR 6410) to amend the tax code to allow taxpayers to donate additional money to pay down the national debt. Congressman Tim Huelskamp of Kansas is an original sponsor of the legislation that is now headed to the Senate for consideration. In 2011, Warren Buffett publicly complained that he was being taxed too little because the tax code favors wealthy Americans like himself. Congressman Tim Huelskamp called on Warren Buffett to release his tax returns in order to demonstrate that Warren Buffett was misleading the American people about his tax burden. Mr. Buffett refused to release all of the details of his returns.

If the Senate passes the legislation, individual tax forms will now include the following text:“By checking here, I signify that in addition to my tax liability (if any), I would like to donate the included payment to be used exclusively for the purpose of paying down the national debt.”

“Warren Buffett wants to pay more in taxes, and now he has an accessible, no-excuses option for doing so,” Congressman Huelskamp said after the bill passed. “Passage of this legislation provides Buffett with an easy way of paying the additional taxes he feels he owes. I hope Mr. Buffett will be pleased with this new option, exercise his right to it, and encourage his friends to do the same.”

“But, even if Buffett and friends generously donate more to Washington, Washington’s problem is still that it spends too much – not that it taxes too little. Four years of trillion-dollar deficits and $16 trillion in debt – more than $5 trillion of which has been accumulated over the past four years – show that Washington’s priority should be to get its expenses under control. Raising taxes to pay for even more spending will not bring about the fiscal responsibility so desperately needed in Washington right now. But, raising taxes with the fiscal cliff looming – as President Obama wants to do – certainly will kill nearly all prospects for economic recovery.”

True or False

I (Jerry  Hinrikus) received this information from a good friend  who I trust.   Can anyone verify if the following is True or False?

Yes, he told us in advance what he planned to do. Few were listening.

The following is a narrative taken from a 2008 Sunday morning televised “Meet The Press’.

From Sunday’s 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised “Meet the Press” THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag.

General Bill Gann’ USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn’t follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.

The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171…

During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, “Stand and Face It”.

NOW GET THIS !!

‘Senator ˜Obama replied:

“As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides”. “There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression..” “The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing.”

(ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???)

Obama continued: “The National Anthem should be ‘swapped’ for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like To Teach the World To Sing’. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as ‘redesign’ our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It’s my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of warring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails – – – perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments …….”

When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past”.

“Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country’s First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America “

“If you look at the troubles which happened in European countries, this is purely because of the accumulated troubles of the worn out welfare society. I think the labour laws are outdated. The labour laws induce sloth, indolence, rather than hardworking. The incentive system, is totally out of whack.

“Why should, for instance, within [the] eurozone some member’s people have to work to 65, even longer, whereas in some other countries they are happily retiring at 55, languishing on the beach? This is unfair. The welfare system is good for any society to reduce the gap, to help those who happen to have disadvantages, to enjoy a good life, but a welfare society should not induce people not to work hard.”

Jin Liqun, the supervising chairman of China’s sovereign wealth fund.
