In Iowa, 500 Villagers Thrown Out of the Castle
Another step in our march toward socialism: House Speaker Pat Murphy (D) ordered police to throw over 500 people out of the Iowa House when they wouldn't stop complaining about taxes.
"This is the most atrocious thing I've seen in the history of the 15 years I've been a lobbyist. Pat Murphy has acted like a jack-booted Nazi," said Ed Failor Jr., president of Iowans for Tax Relief, a conservative taxpayers' rights group from Muscatine with 50,000 members.
Failor Jr. was escorted from the House chambers after Murphy overheard him speak with the media.
Once the hoi polloi had been shown the door, liberal bureauweenies could continue with the People's Business — or rather, giving the people the business with their latest proposal:
The proposal, House File 807 and Senate Study Bill 1317, would end a practice known as federal deductibility. That means Iowans could no longer subtract what they pay in federal income taxes from their income when figuring their state taxes.
Ending federal deductibility without changing anything else would mean Iowans would pay an estimated $595 million more in taxes.
Supposedly, some people would pay less under the Dems' new plan. But then, Chairman Zero promised a tax cut for 95% of Americans, then ran up a deficit in just a couple of months that will require monstrous tax increases if we aren't going to default. It's bad enough to be looted without being taken for fools.

I hope to someday see arrogant parasites like Murphey drug from "the castle" and then meet the fate people like him so richly deserve.

Why is this not getting more play?
These arrogant fools have no idea of the avalanche that's building...
