This latest tax hike percolating in the backrooms of the
Legislative Chambers in Lansing, House
Bills 5477, and 5493 is not about fixing the infrastructure here in the
lands of the Wolverine. It is all about
expanding the spending spiral another 1.2 billion dollars for the coming fiscal
year starting on October 1, 2014.
There is no need to increase fuel taxes one cent.
There is a need to repeal Public Act 231 of 1987 where sits the
bureaucratic council that will be the recipient of Our PRIVATE WEALTH extorted under
the color of House Bill 5477, and 5493 if we allow the Legislative Body to
enact this Progressively inspired legislative plunder under the claim of repairing
our highways and byways here in the lands of the Wolverine
This is not about a lack of funding for infrastructure
maintenance and expansion here in the lands of the Wolverine.
This is all about shuffling OUR PRIVATE WEALTH extorted under
Public
Act 119 of 1980, and Public
Act 403 of 2000 to shift the increased taxes through offices of the appointed
bureaucratic administrators who sit on Transportation Asset Management Council.
The Transportation Asset Management Council sits under the
statutory authority of Public
Act 51 of 1951 wherein the bureaucratic administrators will then shift OUR
PRIVATE WEALTH extorted under the Motor Fuel Carrier Fuel Act, and the Motor
Fuel Tax to capitalize the Transportation
Economic Development fund, which is the Progressive program best defined as
Legislative Plunder.
These increased takings of OUR private wealth are put within
the administrative hands of the Transportation Asset Management Council. This Council then hands over funds to
capitalize the Transportation Economic Development fund, which is known as
Public Act 231 of 1987.
Then there is the little known Public Act 160 of 2010 that was
enacted to fund the Michigan Education Association full employment centers,
known as “Public Schools”. Public Act
160 of 2010 imposes a Six percent sales tax upon Wholesale Fuel Sales, which is
then poured into Foundational Grants to fund benefits, and legacy costs of the
labor pool known as “Public Educators”.
The State Legislature should stand up an acknowledge the
systemic fiscal fraud, known as Legislative Plunder, dating from 1987, by
repealing Public Act 231 of 1987 and Public Act 160 of 2010. This would leave 100 percent of the current usurious
19 cents per gallons takings to fund highways and byways infrastructural
maintenance and expansions here in the lands of the Wolverine.
No, that would be an admission to 63 years of legislative plundering
of OUR private wealth under the color of law, something the Progressives NEVER
WILL DO!
The current House Bills 5477 and 5493 as amendment by the
Senate Chamber potentially increases the legislative plundering of our Private
Wealth to fund the Progressive Leadership that dominates both House Chambers
sitting under OUR State Capitol Dome Favorite charities, known as Pork Barrel
Projects for their Special Interests.
The Pork Barrel Projects are enabled within the statutorily enacted
Public Act 231 of 1987. The Progressive
appointed apparatchiks that sit on the Transportation Asset Management Counsel
have been mismanaging our Private Wealth to fund “Public Transportation”, “Public
Education” (Benefits, and legacy costs) and to directly subsidize corporations
by providing funds for “economic development”.
Meanwhile since its inception in 1981, the Transportation Asset
Management Counsel has mismanaged the maintenance and expansion of our Highway
and byway infrastructure herein the lands of the Wolverine.
The best example of the Progressively funded mismanagement has been self evident
these past six years as we have noticed an ever increasing number of Highway
Bridges being rebuilt, yet no one in the Michigan Department of Transportation
speaks up as to why! Why did those bridges fall apart in less than twenty-five
years? Could it be the low cost bid Union
labor intensive contract led to the utilization of inferior road building
materials, such as “cement” by the contractors in the 1980’s?
This exposes the real facts behind this clamor of emergency
road repairs, which is the political
practiced sleight of hand being moved by the Progressive dominated leadership
sitting under our State Capitol Dome in Lansing this very day.
The tax legislation moving currently as House Bills 5477,
and 5493, has one political objective, the expansion of governmental spending
to fund a political battle to protect the usual suspects who face challenges in
this 2014 electoral season.
The fiscal facts that
are ignored by the Political Leadership sitting under Our State Capitol Dome, which
are best defined as inconvenient facts, is that there sits this very day, and
has sat since the enactment of Public Act 51 of 1951 more than enough fiscal
funds to annually maintain and expand the highway and byway infrastructure here
in the lands of the Wolverine for the past 63 years.
Our highways and byways sit in the current negligent state due
directly to the same political polices that turned Motown into a Ghost Town. This Progressive Political policy is known as
legislative plunder.
Legislative plunder is reliant upon ALL Michiganders to be knowingly
misinformed by the very officers of the Public Trust we elected to sit under
OUR Capitol dome in Lansing.
The Speaker of the House and the Senate Floor Majority
Leader knowingly choreograph this political charade by organizing the needed votes
from both sides of the political aisle to enact the ever expanding takings of OUR
Private Wealth to fund their Progressive dreams of Legislative Plunder.
Then on the evening news channel the talking heads come out
and champion how all these newly plundered dollars exacted from OUR Private
Wealth will fill the pot holes.
