Both parties in Phoenix SCHIZO on taxes

Republican legislative leaders and the Republican governor finally agreed to a budget. One provision calls for an election asking the people of Arizona to approve a one cent hike in the state sales tax for three years. Many Republicans oppose this, claiming  no new tax pledges most signed preclude passing the choice to voters. Democrats oppose this claiming sales taxes are regressive and "unreliable" believing in the income tax which the Republican plan converts to a flat tax.

The Republican problem is most who signed the no new tax pledge claim it also precludes passing tax decisions on to the public have also voted to force Pima County to have an election to decide if sales taxes may be increased to fund a sports authority's construction of a new stadium for baseball spring training. Why one and not the other?

A trip to the Tucson Roller Derby becomes an eye-opening experience

After all these years, I finally know what Jim Croce meant when he sang about "the night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen." I went to the season-ending Tucson Roller Derby matches over at Bladeworld on Grant Road, and it was nothing short of magnificent.

The main reason I went was that a friend of mine, whose real name (Lisa) will remain top-secret, was playing in the third-place game for the Furious Truckstop Waitresses. She goes by the name Ace Benedict, and her teammates include Sunni Sideup, Hell Bent Betty, Peaches Rodriguez and Gracie Spoon, among others. Ace is a jammer, one of the quicker skaters who attempts to score points for her team by breaking away from the pack, circling the track and passing (lapping) members of the other team, who do their best to block her progress and/or knock her into the cheap seats.

Make no mistake: "CAP-AND-TRADE" = TAX

Friends..........Remember when you pay an electric bill, when you fill up your gas tank, when you buy a airline ticket , when you buy a car , the next time you plug in a light bulb or walk into a restaurant you can thank Gabby Giffords who voted for CAP & TRADE which equals a big fat tax on just about everything we consume which will be paid for by you and I. 

Remember who helped create higher un employment by passing the BIGGEST TAX INCREASE in the history of the United States. Gabby Giffords voted with 211 of her democrat colleagues to create a carbon tax which will kill jobs in the middle of a recession. All this done under the premise of helping prevent global warming. All of this done as a scheme to finance Obama health care. Not too smart. 

Is this change we can trust? Now , more than ever before friends .........CHANGE CAN'T WAIT !!
