In a typical election year, there are state and local ballot initiatives across America, many of which aim to increase taxes and government debt (often dubbed “school bonds”). Or to increase government spending.

If you think government spending and taxes are too high, you probably vote against these campaigns for more Big Government.

We celebrate when we defeat them. “Holding the line” on taxes IS better than losing ground. Avoiding a loss IS better than suffering a loss.

And yet…
The states and local communities where tax increases go down are no better off after the vote than they were before the vote.

They still have the same Big Government and high taxes they had before the vote. They just don’t have even bigger government or higher taxes.

“No new taxes” is only enough to keep Big Government from getting bigger.

Or is it enough?

Government grows faster than the private sector – in good times and in bad. When there’s a severe contraction, Big Government Special Interests hang onto every dime they possibly can by raising taxes, borrowing and dipping into reserve funds. When the economy’s booming, big government grows even faster.

“No new taxes” slows the growth of Big Government. But it can’t even hold the line on growth given the insatiable greed of those who work to maintain the size of government.

“Repealing, removing, reducing taxes” – and forcing lawmakers to cut government spending – is the only way to make government small. And small government is the only way to make taxes low and keep them low.

Lobbying occasionally works to stop the growth of Big Government, but it almost never causes Big Government to actually shrink. The only way to create even a possibility for reducing Big Government from its existing size is by campaigning – for candidates and for ballot initiatives – that propose specific, bold cuts in tax and government spending.

Huge tax cuts now. Huge spending cuts now. Boldly move toward small government.

Why?

So taxpayers can reap the big, immediate, direct benefits of tax cuts and repeals.

To cut taxes, cut spending and advance liberty, we must go on the offensive.

To cut taxes, cut spending and advance liberty, we must put the supporters of Big Government on the defensive.

We must keep them on the defensive. Make them expend their energies trying to “hold the line” by running ballot initiatives – and candidates for public office – on proposals to cut taxes, reduce government spending and scale back or eliminate Big Government programs.

Instead of tax cutters always fighting for “No new taxes,” let them try to rally their supporters around “No new tax CUTS.”

Pro-taxpayer candidates and supporters must relentlessly launch ballot initiatives and campaigns that shrink government. Again and again. Year after year. Until we win.

Until federal, state and local government is small and constitutionally restricted to defending our lives, liberty, and property.

We must make small government – shrinking today’s oversize government, high taxes, high spending, and needless government meddling – the #1 Priority in America.

This could be the start of something small.

“When the Massachusetts state government wants to spend more money than it collects in taxes, how should it deal with the money gap? Raise taxes? Cut spending?”

• 12% answered, “raise taxes.”
• 71% responded, “cut state government spending.” (1)

Yet the Massachusetts legislature opposed voters — and raised taxes.

In May 2009, the Beacon Hill Institute released a study of the impact of raising the state sales tax from 5% to 6.25%.

Here’s what they found:

• This sales tax increase will drain $900 million in new taxes each year out of the pockets of consumers and the revenues of retail businesses.
• This sales tax hike will destroy 12,666 private sector jobs.
• This sales tax hike will create 6,579 NEW tax-funded government jobs.
• It will reduce Massachusetts private sector investment by $51 million.

Politicians are borrowing and spending money like there’s no tomorrow — and jacking up your taxes to pay for it.

But now — Massachusetts voters are fighting back! They formed the Alliance to Roll Back Taxes in late August of 2009 to put a citizen initiative to roll back the sales tax to 3% — and it’s headed for the 2010 ballot!

If TEA Parties and Town Hall Meetings reflect the mood of voters, the politicians may have finally gone too far.Maybe, just maybe, the people can finally stop Big Government politicians dead in their tracks and roll back taxes.

1. An Open Letter to the Massachusetts State Legislature From Carla Howell and Michael Cloud, Sponsors of the 2008 Massachusetts End the Income Tax Ballot Initiative

What if it were possible to cut your medical care costs by 20% or 30% or even 50% now — while keeping current levels of quality and service — by repealing and removing these government-created burdens and barriers?

If this were possible, would you want it?

Would you want the U.S. Congress to repeal and remove these laws, regulations, restrictions, and mandates?

Would you want your state legislature to do the same?

Yes? Well, these government-imposed burdens and barriers DO exist — and your federal and state legislators CAN repeal and remove them.

Would you like to see a small sample?

1. Allow price advertising. Let pharmacies, doctors, hospitals, and laboratories to publish their prices for goods and services. Eliminate all laws, regulations, and government provisions that hinder or prevent medical providers from posting their prices.

Charges for the same medical procedure can vary 30% to 300% within a 100-mile radius. But without price information, patients can’t shop for the best value.

In the 1970’s, U.C.L.A. Economist Sam Peltzman compared the costs of eyeglasses in states that allowed price advertising and states that outlawed it. Results? Much lower prices in states that allowed price advertising.

2. Let all Americans buy prescription drugs outside the United States. Do NOT force them to travel abroad. Allow them to have the prescription drugs shipped to their homes.

I’ve seen the 30% to 60% savings in prices of prescription drugs purchased in Mexico.

International competition for prescription drugs will drive down domestic prescription prices.

3. Let all people buy medical insurance across state lines. In New Jersey, a single man would pay $4,000 for medical insurance. If he lived in Pennsylvania, he’d pay $1,500. If the New Jersey man could buy medical insurance from a Pennsylvania provider, he’d save $2,500 a year.

Imagine this all across America.

This would cut medical insurance costs for millions who already have needlessly overpriced premiums.

AND, if the American Enterprise Institute study is correct, this would make medical insurance affordable for 12 million uninsured Americans.

4. Let doctors and patients negotiate discounts for paying cash. If a patient saves a doctor the time, trouble, delay and cost of dealing with insurance companies, Medicare, or Medicaid – let the doctor and patient share the savings.

5. Let patients, doctors, and hospitals enter into into legally binding, limited-liability contracts. This would reduce the cost of medical treatment by reducing the cost of malpractice insurance.

Just as Prenuptial Agreements limit marital risk, limited-liability contracts will limit medical risk.

6. End all government mandates that require businesses or individuals to buy medical insurance. End all government mandates that punish and tax those who do NOT buy medical insurance. Make insurance companies earn our business with lower prices and better quality — rather than lobby government to compel us to buy medical insurance by force of law. (See Carla Howell’s excellent essay, “Why We Need More UNinsured Americans”.)

This is just a sketch of small government proposals to UN-do the government-caused high prices of medical care.

A glimpse of small government proposals to come.

1. Why We Need More UNinsured Americans
2. What Big Government Costs You

This column was originally published April 13, 2006. The cost of insurance premiums has risen steadily since then – especially in Massachusetts. The 2006 Massachusetts insurance mandate (”RomneyCare”) is costing individuals and businesses over $1 billion more for insurance coverage than before the mandate took effect.

Socialized medicine’s true believers — who dominate the ranks of mainstream news reporters and politicians — try to bludgeon us into believing that the lack of medical insurance is a crisis, a disaster, and a never-ending emergency.

Here’s an example of how a news report typically casts the “uninsured”:

“The number of uninsured or underinsured people in the United States is estimated to be about 46 million… they sit on the edge of catastrophe.” (Journal Times, Wisconsin, February 27, 2006)

But “uninsured” Americans are usually nowhere near “catastrophe.” They have plenty of access to urgent care when they need it.

Moreover, they save themselves a boatload of money by steering clear of one of America’s biggest money pits: health insurance.

We don’t need more insurance in America. We need much less.

The black hole of medical insurance

Americans who don’t have health insurance are often neither poor nor do they lack access to medical care. They simply choose not to buy insurance because they believe it’s a bad use of their money.

In Massachusetts — the Overpriced Health Care Capital of the World — young, healthy families can spend over $9,400 a year for the cheapest HMO policy they can find, and over $19,800 for a broader coverage plan. Families with middle-aged parents can spend over $30,000 — every year — to be insured. The older you are, the more unaffordable it gets.

What’s worse, these exorbitant prices don’t even guarantee that you’ll be covered. A policy’s fine print gives insurance companies the option to terminate your coverage if your care drags on too long. The insured who suffer from a serious disease or medical trauma have to turn to the same government welfare programs they would if they had no insurance at all. What’s the point of buying an insurance policy that doesn’t insure you in your times of greatest need?

“Uninsured”: Down & out? Or smart investors?

The “uninsured” are portrayed as poor, desolate souls on the brink of “catastrophe.” But contrary to media propaganda, they have access to the health care they need.

The wealthy don’t need health insurance. Their money is better spent on investments that provide a return. They can easily cover the cost of treating a serious medical condition.

Many above-average wage earners don’t need insurance either. They’re better off investing their money in their retirement and withdrawing funds for health care only if there’s a need.

Even people with no cash savings to fall back on — average and below-average income families — are often able to insure themselves. They may have an IRA or equity in a home or business they can borrow against in the event of an emergency. Although a serious illness could wipe out their assets, they at least have a chance of building wealth — and not depleting what assets they have by forking over huge sums for an overpriced medical insurance policy.

Individuals and families that invest the money they would otherwise spend on medical insurance can build a nest egg worth over $100,000 in just 5 years. In 10 years it could grow to over $250,000 — enough to cover a major health care catastrophe. Or buy a house. If they continue to enjoy good health, they can retire as millionaires.

Hazards of medical insurance

There are other good reasons to avoid medical insurance.

Whenever an insurance company pays for health services, it drives up everyone’s cost — yours included — and renders health care services clumsy, inefficient, and even dangerous.

Neither patients nor providers have incentive to keep costs down. This encourages doctors to prescribe procedures you don’t need — raising costs for insurance companies. They respond in turn by raising the price of your premiums, raising the amount you must pay for co-pays and deductibles, and reducing the services they cover.

In addition, excess treatment can put your health at risk. Patients who undergo unnecessary tests, operations, and drug regimens sometimes end up with worse medical problems than they started with.

At the same time, insurance rules forbid practitioners from giving you services you actually need. Again, your health suffers.

When you pay directly for services, you or someone you trust is in the driver’s seat. You and your health care providers have direct incentive to give you high quality care at a reasonable price.

Medical insurance co-pays, deductibles, and coverage denials make medical bills confusing and hard to read. Billing errors are common — and difficult to correct. You’re forced to either pay what your bill instructs you to pay or to try to avoid overpayment by submerging yourself in paperwork that can be as complicated and infuriating as filing taxes.

The best way to minimize billing hassles is to forgo medical insurance and pay your providers directly for medical services.

If insurance is such a bad investment, why do so many people have it?

Many Americans have insurance because Big Government mandates it, subsidizes it, and provides tax incentives for it.

Seniors are forced to sign up for Medicare or they forfeit their Social Security checks.

Taxpayers are forced to fund high-priced health plans for government employees and government retirees.

Employers are forced to provide their employees insurance. If employers were free to use the tax-free money they now spend on medical insurance to pay tax-free wages instead, many employees would far prefer the higher wages. It’s a much better deal.

Others buy insurance, or seek a job that provides insurance, because of the horror stories they’ve heard about how expensive medical bills can be. A catastrophic care episode can cost tens, even hundreds, of thousands of dollars and leave a family in dire financial straights.

Big Government is directly responsible for these high costs. Thousands of state and federal laws, regulations, mandates, and subsidies drive up the cost of health care. What should be a minimal part of the family budget is a backbreaking expense.

But rather than end these disastrous Big Government Health Care Programs and allow prices to drop, Big Government Politicians seek to expand them. This keeps the cost of surgery, hospital stays, office visits, lab tests, drugs, medical devices and procedures artificially high, which in turn creates an artificial – and unnecessary – high demand for insurance.

If we end Big Government Health Care by repealing these laws, regulations, mandates and subsidies, prices for medical services will drop dramatically. Far fewer people will need or want insurance. The cost of medical insurance will drop in turn, making lower-cost plans available that cover what you need.

People also seek insurance because Big Government outlaws health care charity, leaving poor people with medical problems nowhere else to turn but to Big Government welfare programs.

Years ago, medical special interests convinced politicians to shut down free clinics for the poor, once common in the United States. Rather than allow them to reopen, socialized medicine advocates claim that the high cost of health care is the fault of the “uninsured” who run to a hospital emergency room every time they have a problem. What they don’t want you to know is that their Big Government political allies cut off these poor people from charitable alternatives that would keep them out of ERs. They’d rather force everyone into a medical insurance plan – or government welfare – than allow the private sector to provide free, humane medical care without government interference.

Bemoaning the “uninsured” is a ruse. Big Government Politicians drive up the cost of health care. They drive affordable free-market alternatives out of business. They drive charities out of business. Then they blame the taxpayer for not buying health insurance — made unaffordable by Big Government. It’s a scam.

Get Big Government out of health care

We must reject calls for more insurance. Rather, we should celebrate every time Americans free themselves from government welfare or from unnecessary, overpriced government-mandated health insurance.

We can greatly reduce the need for medical insurance by bringing down the high cost of both medical care and medical insurance.  How? By removing Big Government Health Care prohibitions, mandates, regulations, and subsidies.

How do we transition from today’s Big Government Health Care to health freedom?

By properly prioritizing where we cut first. We must remove all Big Government laws and regulations that escalate medical care costs or that prohibit free care FIRST. Then cut back subsidies that people depend on LAST — after low-cost, free market alternatives are in place and charities have been freed to re-open their doors to serve the poor.

We must vote against every politician who refuses to reduce, remove and repeal the thousands of medical care laws, regulations, prohibtions and subsidies on the books today. Who denies us our health freedom.

We must vote out of office those politicians who blackmail voters by threatening to cut needed subsidies — while leaving in place the legions of health care laws and regulations that drive up cost and reduce access to medical care.

We must seek, support and vote for humane candidates who will properly prioritize reductions.

When we separate health care from government, we’ll dissolve the government-contrived, artificial demand for high-priced medical insurance. The cost of both medical care and medical insurance will plummet. Those who need insurance will be able to buy affordable policies that protect them in their times of greatest need. Those who can’t afford care at all will have access to lovingly-donated free care services.

By replacing Big Government health care and government-mandated insurance with free market and charitable health care, we’ll get the highest possible quality of care – and longer, healthier lives – at a fraction of today’s costs.

We’ll stop wasting over $1 trillion every year on overpriced medical spending — and put it back in the pockets of workers and taxpayers who earned it.

Note: Since original publication of this column on April 13, 2006, it was learned that Tennessee is relatively lax about permitting the operation of free medical care clinics. However, free clinics appear to remain effectively prohibited throughout most of the United States. If you find a clinic that operates without government interference, without government-granted privileges (i.e. does not outlaw competitors) and without tax dollars (including subsidies funneled through other organizations) — i.e., an unencumbered health care charity — please let us know by contacting the Center For Small Government.

It is worth noting that while free clinics unaffiliated with government are largely prohibited, many individual medical professionals generously donate their services and/or give price breaks to those in need who lack financial means. We applaud their kindness and humanity.

1. 6 Simple Ways to Dramatically Cut Costs of Medical Care — at Zero Expense to Taxpayers

“A vote for Ron Paul for President is a vote for Barack Obama,” said the 2008 Republican emails and robo-calls (against Ron Paul’s 2008 Republican Presidential Primary Campaign.)

“A vote for Joe Kennedy for U.S. Senate is a vote for Democrat Martha Coakley,” say the 2010 Republican emails and robo-calls (against Independent Tea Party Candidate Joe Kennedy’s Campaign for the vacant Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat. This Joe Kennedy is NO RELATION WHATSOEVER to the Kennedy clan. And his politics are the diametric opposite.)

Which 1992 Presidential vote had a bigger, longer-lasting, positive impact on America: a  vote for “Read My Lips, No New Taxes” George Bush (Sr.) OR a vote for Ross Perot?

Which 2008 Presidential vote will produce a bigger, longer-lasting, positive effect on America: a vote for small government Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul OR a vote for John McCain?

Which 2010 U.S. Senate Special Election vote will produce a bigger, longer-lasting positive effect on America: a vote for Big Government, high tax Republican Scott Brown OR a vote for small government Tea Party candidate Joe Kennedy?

Ross Perot’s 1992 Presidential Campaign demanded an END to deficit spending – and for fresh ideas, fresh faces in government. Results? It forced the Democrats and Republicans to give us almost 10 years of balanced budgets. It set in motion independent activists who gave us the 1994 Republican Revolution.

Ron Paul’s 2008 Presidential Campaign attracted and mobilized hundreds of thousands of young Americans who understand and love the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution — seek to roll back and reduce today’s Big Government. In fact, many of these patriots helped build the Tea Party Movement. This is just the beginning.

Joe Kennedy’s 2010 small government Tea Party campaign for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts may well set in motion a positive, America-building avalanche this year – with an even bigger impact in 2012 and beyond.

Why will voting for Joe Kennedy for U.S. Senate this January 19th give your vote 100 times the impact of voting for Big Government Republican Scott Brown?

First, there are 435 U.S. Congressional seats PLUS 36 U.S. Senate seats up for Election this November 2nd.

If the Republican Establishment can manipulate Tea Party Protesters, Town Hall Meeting Activists, Tax Cutters, and small government voters in Massachusetts into voting for Big Government Republican Scott Brown this January 19th – then they will field and support more Big Government Scott Brown candidates for the 2010 Elections.

Only one thing can stop the Republican Establishment from filling the 2010 ballot with Big Government Republicans: your vote for Joe Kennedy. And ours. And those of 10,000 to 25,000 of our fellow small government, tax cutting, Tea Party voters.

Only one thing will push the Republican Establishment into fielding and supporting real small government candidates this year, in 2010: your vote for Joe Kennedy. And ours. And those of 10,000 to 25,000 pro-Constitution, small government voters.

What’s more, Tea Party Protesters and supporters all across America are watching this Special Election for U.S. Senate. The higher the vote total for Tea Party U.S. Senate Candidate Joe Kennedy, the better the odds that more Tea Party Protesters will throw their hats in the ring for U.S. Congress and U.S. Senate this year.  Your vote for Joe Kennedy may well inspire and activate thousands of Tea Party Movement members.

Have you read or heard the savage attacks, insults, arguments, fear tactics, false charges, half truths, and lies about Joe Kennedy?

Did you know that this is exactly what the Big Government Republican Establishment said about and did to Republican U.S. Congressman  Ron Paul when he ran for President in 2008?

Did you know that this is what the Big Government Republican Establishment did to Ross Perot when he ran for President in 1992?

Don’t let them get away with the con. Vote Joe Kennedy.

Ross Perot lost the 1992 Election, but the people who voted for him CAUSED the Democrats and Republicans to balance the federal budget for a decade.

Ross Perot’s 1992 voters precipitated the 1994 Republican Revolution.

Dr. Ron Paul lost the 2008 Republican Presidential Nomination, but, paraphrasing  the words of Obe-Wan Kenobe to Darth Vader, “If you strike me down, my supporters and small government cause shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.” And that IS happening now.

Voting for Ron Paul for President was an INVESTMENT in the Constitution and small government that keeps paying off. A vote we will NEVER regret.

Joe Kennedy is the ONLY small government candidate running for this open U.S. Senate Seat.

Joe Kennedy is the ONLY candidate in this race who will vote for dramatically lower federal spending, lower taxes, and a smaller federal government than we have today. Who will vote against ALL government bailouts of businesses. Against ALL government stimulus packages. Against ALL unbalanced budgets.

Voting Joe Kennedy is the ONLY way you can get more tax cutting, spending cutting, small government candidates for the 434 Congressional districts which do NOT have their own Ron Paul. And for the 35 U.S. Senate Seats up for grabs which do NOT have their own Rand Paul.

Voting for Joe Kennedy may be the only way to prevent the unexpected betrayal: Republican ObamaCare.  Can’t believe it could happen? Look at
Scott Brown’s proud Massachusetts political love child: RomneyCare. Imagine U.S. Senator Scott Brown proudly taking it federal. ObamaRomaCare.

Your vote for Joe Kennedy may be the vote that makes the difference. Your vote may be the Tipping Point vote that sets in motion more and more Tea Party candidates, more and more Ron Paul candidates, more and more small government candidates.
For 2010. And for 2012.

To our fellow Tea Party Protesters, Town Hall Meeting activists, Tax Cutters, our fellow Ron Paul supporters, and all who are committed to small government:

We endorse Joe Kennedy for U.S. Senate this January 19th.

Join us and thousands of others – and vote Joe Kennedy for U.S. Senate(MA) this January 19th.

With your vote, small government is possible,

Massachusetts Republicans Concede that U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown Repeatedly Voted for NEW Big Government Programs, INCREASED SPENDING FOR Big Government Programs, and FOR Higher and Higher yearly Massachusetts state Government Spending during his 11 years in the legislature.

by Carla Howell and Michael Cloud
Thursday, January 14, 2010

When we sent out Part 1 of this Warning to our fellow Tea Party Protesters, we expected lively responses from our fellow Tea Party Activists and our small government subscribers.

We got it. Everything from agreement and “Well, who should we vote for then?” to courteous disagreement. Thoughtful insights. Expressions of support for our alternative. We hope to address the issues and concerns raised in a number of emails in this and future messages we send out.

But we also got a flurry of hostile and vicious emails that surprised us: littered with profanity, name calling, ad hominems, and groundless accusations. Most of it from self-identified Republican Party members. 81 of them unsubscribed to this newsletter.

Finally, some very strange things happened: we got numerous emails from Massachusetts voters, mostly Republicans, who conceded that Part I of this message tells the unvarnished truth about Scott Brown’s 11-year legislative voting record.

“Yes, everything that you have said about Brown is true, but..” wrote Susan.

“I agree that Scott Brown is a Big Government Republican, but…,” wrote several.

“I don’t take issue with what you’ve said about Brown…He is not a small government candidate, but…,” wrote several.

Among those who emailed us, person after person agreed that, throughout his 11-year state legislative career, Scott Brown has repeatedly voted for higher government spending, bigger government, and higher taxes. “But….”

After they agreed that we’re right about Scott Brown and his sorry, Big Government legislative record, these people added “But…I’m voting for him anyway.”

Several people said, “I DON’T CARE whether you’re right! I DON’T CARE what the facts are! I DON’T CARE that Scott Brown votes for bigger and bigger government, for higher and higher spending and taxes! We’ve got to beat the Democrats – no matter what.”

Many Readers Wanted More Facts on Big Government Republican Scott Brown’s 11-year Legislative Record.

How shocked would you be to find out that, in 2008, Republican state senator Scott Brown voted for a Northeastern states CAP-AND-TRADE law?

Scott Brown joined the Democrats and passed legislation requiring Massachusetts to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative in a cap-and-trade pact among Northeastern states requiring power plants to reduce emissions or to buy credits from cleaner industries.

“Reducing carbon dioxide emission in Massachusetts has long been a priority of mine,” Brown said in a news release in 2008. “Passing this legislation is an important step . . . towards improving our environment.”

Now Brown says he’s against it. In the tradition of John Kerry, Scott Brown might say,
“I voted for CAP-AND-TRADE LAWS before I planned to vote against it.”

Globe article 1-10-2010

+++

How stunned would you be to hear that Scott Brown said, “I believe that every American is entitled to health care”? He said this on Sean Hannity on FOX and during the US Senate debates broadcast on radio and TV.

He is part of the single-payer, universal medical care faction that is moving us toward a government-managed, tax-funded government medical care monopoly. Scott Brown says medical care is a government-granted right of every American.

Entitled to a doctor’s labor? Entitled to a hospital room? Entitled to prescription drugs? At whose expense? Guaranteed by whom? And remember the Forgotten Men and Women who are obligated by government, compelled by law to shoulder the costs of this medical care entitlement.

+++

Scott Brown brags about his vital role in designing, writing, and passing RomneyCare in Massachusetts.

How astonished would you be to learn that Scott Brown pledges to stop ObamaCare – so he can install a federally-run and managed RomneyCare to the United States of America? He’s said this during more than a half dozen national media interviews. And during the debates.

Before you cheer, take a page out of Dr. Phil’s book and ask, “How’s RomneyCare working out for you, Massachusetts?”

“Bay State health insurance premiums highest in country” answers the headline in the Boston Globe (8-22-09).

Between 2003 and 2008, the average Massachusetts family’s health care insurance premium rose from $9,867 to $13,788. A 40% increase! 21% higher increase than the national average.

This is exactly what US Senator Scott Brown will try to inflict on the other 49 states. Don’t let him do to America what he’s done to the men and women of Massachusetts.

+++

How surprised would you be if the Boston Globe printed an article tomorrow telling you that Scott Brown VOTED WITH the Massachusetts Teachers Unions over 94% of the time?

+++

FINALLY, how flabbergasted would you be if WGBH-TV (the Boston PBS affiliate) revealed that Scott Brown VOTED WITH the Democratic Majority in the legislature over 91% of the time?

+++

Can you see why we spoke up – and shared these prickly facts with you?

Why we want you to be able to make an informed choice on Special Election Day, January 19th?

Remember, we do NOT want you to stay home on Election Day. We do NOT want you to vote for the other Big Government candidate, Martha Coakley. Tomorrow, we’ll show you a choice that will give your vote 100 times the impact – and will REALLY dramatically advance the Tea Party cause this November…and beyond.

Tomorrow, the conclusion of this controversial and vital message….

Please send this to every Tea Party blog or web site, every Town Hall Meeting blog or web site, every tax cutter blog or web site, and please share it with your friends in Massachusetts. You may hold the fate of the Tea Party movement in your hands.

No related posts.

Before you freak out, we do NOT want you to stay home – or vote for Martha Coakley. You have a far better choice – a choice that gives your vote 100 times its normal impact. What’s more, if you choose this option, you will dramatically strengthen the Tea Party Movement – and radically increase the number of TRUE tax cut and spending cut candidates on the ballot this November.

We’ll go into Big Government legislator Scott Brown’s sorry record of the last 11 years, and offer you a powerful way to make the political establishment listen to the Tea Party movement, but first:

Who are we? What have we done to earn your attention? Why should you take us seriously?

We’re Carla Howell and Michael Cloud, Tea Party activists and the 2 most prominent Tax Cut activists in Massachusetts for the last 10 years. We co-sponsored and ran Ballot Question 1 to END the state income tax in 2002 and 2008. We are running this year’s Ballot Initiative to Roll Back the Sales Tax from 6.25% to 3%.

We know every single real tax cutter in Massachusetts. We know every major phony and fake friend of taxpayers. Every slick, smooth-talking
chameleon who tries to blend in with tax cutters – while he VOTES FOR TAX HIKES, VOTES FOR PROPERTY TAX INCREASES (Prop. 2 ½ overrides), and CAMPAIGNS AGAINST and VOTES AGAINST A MAJOR TAX CUT.

Scott Brown is the worst fake tax-cutter in the Massachusetts legislature. And a fake ally is more dangerous than an open enemy.

“By their fruits shall ye know them,” counsels the Scriptures. “Actions speak louder than words,” says the proverb. And, correcting Emerson, “What you do speaks so loudly I cannot hear a word you say.”

We must judge Scott Brown on his political actions during the last 11 years.

Fact: Election Eve, Monday, November 3rd, 2008: Scott Brown went on WTKK RADIO and urged voters to VOTE AGAINST Ballot Question 1, to END the Massachusetts state income tax. Scott Brown allied himself with the National and state Teachers Unions and SEIU (the government employees union that often works with ACORN) – against the taxpayers of Massachusetts.

Fact: Scott Brown has been a state legislator for the last 11 years, but we can’t find a single tax cut bill authored, sponsored, or introduced by him that would cut as little as 5% of state government revenue.

Fact: Scott Brown has been a state legislator for the last 11 years, but we can’t find even one spending cut bill authored, sponsored, or introduced by him that would cut as little as 5% of total state government spending.

Fact: Scott Brown has been a state legislator for the last 11 years, but we can’t find a single waste reduction bill authored, sponsored, or introduced by him that would cut waste as little as 5% of total spending. Polling shows that Massachusetts voters estimate that 41% of their taxes are wasted, but Scott Brown can’t even find 5% government waste.

Fact: The biggest tax and spending issue facing Massachusetts this year is our ballot initiative to roll back the sales tax from 6.25% to 3%. Yet we cannot find a single news account or mention at Scott Brown’s legislative or campaign web sites where he takes a stand on this issue. He refuses to publicly endorse or campaign for our ballot initiative to roll back the sales tax — even though it would give Massachusetts families 32,929 new private sector jobs.

Fact: Scott Brown proudly proclaims that he was a key part of the team that designed RomneyCare, the Massachusetts health care reform bill endorsed and backed by Senator Ted Kennedy. Scott Brown helped write, voted for, and endorses the bill provision that forces all Massachusetts workers to buy medical insurance – or pay a penalty tax. (Remember when Bill Clinton swore that oral sex from Monica Lewinsky wasn’t sex? Scott Brown, a lawyer, swears that this mandatory fee paid to the government is NOT a tax! )

And now, Scott Brown’s provision requiring everyone to buy medical insurance – or pay a mandatory penalty tax – is a key part of the Nancy Pelosi-Harry Reid-Barack Obama Health Care Reform Bill.

Scott Brown campaigns against everything the Tea Party Movement represents. Brown opposes and votes against as little as a 5% tax cut. He opposes and votes against cutting government spending or waste by even 5%. He designed and voted for a key part of the Pelosi-Reid-Obama Health Care bill now being voted on in Washington.

Right now, the mainstream Republican Party loyalists are desperately trying to find even tiny differences between career Republican politician Scott Brown and Democrat Martha Coakley.

The “Republican Party Right-or-Wrong” Partisans are trying to scare and stampede you and us – Tea Party activists, Town Hall Meeting protesters, and tax cutters -into closing our eyes, holding our noses and voting for Brown – out of fear that the alternative is even worse.

They are wrong. And we’ll tell you why.

You have a radically better choice. A choice that will advance the Tea Party Cause. A choice that will give us REAL Tea Party candidates and allies in November.

To Be Continued…..

Please send a link to this page to every Tea Party blog or web site, every Town Hall Meeting blog or web site, every tax cutter blog or web site, and please share it with your friends in Massachusetts. You may hold the fate of the Tea Party movement in your hands.

Many of the 456 federal agencies reported to exist by the federal government consist of hierarchies of agencies within themselves. Bureaucracies within bureaucracies.

For example, the National Institutes of Health.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH)

Here’s just one example of a federal agency from the below list of major federal agencies. This one consists of 47 separate bureaucracies!

If there are this many bureaucracies within just one of the 456 major federal bureaucracies, how many thousands of federal bureaucracies exist?

How can voters possibly hold politicians to account for the performance of these bureaucracies when most people don’t know they exist – much less what they do, how much they spend, and what good and bad results they produce?

The politicians don’t know what these agencies do either. Most of the time, they don’t even read the bills they vote into law.

This is runaway Big Government in the extreme — growing bigger every year.
