Obama And Living On 15,000 A Year

In obama’s state of the union speech he dared congress to live on minimum wage for a year aka 15,000 a year

only one problem in his poorly written speech, regarding the total yearly income.  obama forgot that each state has

income taxes or none at all.  in states like New York and California  an individual will pay total taxes including federal

taxes.nearly 55% of their income (all federal income taxes, obamacare taxes, state taxes, county taxes, city taxes, sales

taxes, gas taxes, (some states the sugar tax), cigarette tax, property taxes(these pay for fire, police, school, infrastructure city

government, county government, roads) , (some states driving on the road tax), utility taxes(water, gas,land line phone, and

cell phone), prescription taxes, doctors office visits.

So basically a single person tries to live on 7,500 or less a year, and that barely gives the single person a chance to actually

live. From the number of federal programs that could be cut is outrageous, there are almost 50 or more federal jobs training

programs that overlap or duplicate older programs that are just as effective, you could cut 39 to 41 programs and nobody

would notice except for the federal employees union would.

I was living in a state that was taking the same as federal income taxes each month because I was single and making over

31,000 a year, I was placed into the top 10% income earners tax bracket all because I had no dependents and no

deductions. Total taxes that I was paying each month was 1600, I was paying 61% of my income in total taxes…….

I am now  living in a state to where I am able to start saving for my retirement, and start investing my spare money that that

it will help with my retirement when I do retire.

We have a federal government that uses what is called base line budgeting that builds in a 10% budget increase for the

next federal budget and when congress gives itself a pat on the back for cutting the federal budget all they are cutting is just

the pace of the increase, not actually cutting the budget. Under the years of Sequester the budget that was used the

federal budget 2007, less than 10 pennies on 100 dollars was lost on each federal agency budget…….

Obama dares congress to live on 15 grand a year, when all the vacations that he has taken is over 44 million dollars,

compared to George W, Bush his vacations cost the tax payers 4 million total…………

Talk about not walking the talk, he challenges others but wont do it himself, he was born with a a silver spoon in his mouth

and expects others to pay for his life style.

I challenge obama himself to live on 15 grand and nothing else pay for his gas when local in D.C., live on bag lunches and

eat ramen noodles 3 to 5 nights a week…….and live on peanut butter toast during the mornings and powdered milk and no

govt programs……….

But like all democrats they are all show and emotions but no substance or ideas to actually solve a problem….

Religion

I find it fascinating that relgion plays an important part if the majority of peoples lives, some take a slacker approach to their religion and then you have the extremists approach.

The Jewish faith was founded on trust in a higher power, and to follow the commandments privately not

publicly to call attention to yourself, to defend your faith when challlenged and help defend your fellow

believers when attacked.  You are encouraged to read the torah and for the most part the religious

interpetation has been consistently the same

The Catholic faith was the belief that Gods son was crucified to forgive the sins of our ancestors and a

renewal of the commandments and Gods word on saving those who believe in him. The religious

interpretations have been the same as well, but there were the centuries that the royal houses of europe

were using the catholic faith as a vehicle to expand their kingdoms and using the catholic faith as a weapon

to force conversion or face death.  The Catholic faith has always been about non-violence but there have

been extremists who have twisted the faith into something it never was meant to be, as the royal houses of

europe had used it as a means to control the people until the church decided it was time to go back to its

origins of non-violence. Over the centuries the royal houses had selected who was pope by selecting who

became cardinals they intern owed their allegiance to the royalty not to the church.

Then we come to islam who was founded not by a prophet but a 40yo drunken male of arabic descent who

was envious of what others had.  muhammad had married a much older female who had riches where as he

had none.  islam is based on violence and the destruction of other relgions and the eradication of the jewish

people.  no where is it written that islam is non-violent, its all about convert or die by the sword.  they

consider pictures, drawings or cartoons of muhammad to be blaspheme of their relgion, get over it, your

following the writings of drunken man who envied what others had.  To put him on par with God is

blaspheme in itself, you are following the the writings of a 40 yo male who was a drunk, a pedophile, a rapist

and one who covets what others have.

I put islam on par with kwanzza a made up religion to deal with personal short comings of a failed man if he

could be called that.
