The Fed Engineered the Public Pension Crisis to Bankrupt the States, Pit Neighbor Against Neighbor, and Create Civil Unrest

Flashback: Obama Cannot Be Reelected in 2012 Unless Union Pockets are Full of Taxpayer Money and Dues

March 13, 2011

Right Coast Conservative - Obama cannot be reelected in 2012 unless union pockets are full of taxpayer money and dues from members who are coerced to join them (and voting union members who think he will give them stuff!).

Frankly, Obama and those behind him want to create chaos because they know chaos will lead to civil unrest.

The people driving the unions want civil unrest because then people look to government to literally save them. Believe me, what is going on in the Middle East is connected to what is happening here—they are the same agitators.

Some of these union leaders were in Egypt helping the Revolution along!

As we go into the next tumultuous weeks, keep in mind, the enemy of the Tea Party is not your average apolitical local teacher, fireman or policeman, but the union leaders who are using regular folks as their foils for changing our form of government.

Pensions are simply a pretense for creating division and strife. Progressives (Socialists, Marxists, whatever you want to call them) know this is the best chance they have had in a century to “change” America and it is slipping away from them—Obama has less than two years (we hope it’s only two) to get it done! They know that, and they are desperate.

I repeat, this is not about pensions! This is about creating civil unrest and pitting neighbor against neighbor to bring America, as we know it and love it, to its knees!

Millions of Dollars on the Line in Alabama School Tax Vote

March 21, 2011

Local 15, Mobile - Voters in Mobile County will head to the polls Tuesday, to either renew or reject three property taxes used to fund schools in Mobile County and the Saraland school district. One of the taxes has been in effect since 1915; the other two since the 1940's.

Mobile County school board member Judy Stout and other school officials say they're facing a dark reality. A school system already struggling because of state budget cuts could soon lose millions more.

"It terrifies me to think of it," says Stout.

"I'm still cautiously optimistic that people will continue to feel that they need to support public schooling," says Superintendent Dr. Roy Nichols, "but it is worrisome because of the economy right now."

School officials say a worst case scenario can't be ignored. If school taxes are not renewed the $55 million per year loss means massive layoffs of at least 400 teachers and support staff.

"There's no way to do that without impacting class size so classes would become larger," says Nichols.

There would be no more construction or renovation projects, career tech centers could shut down and class electives could vanish, say school officials. Stout says that includes, "optional programs which all of us take for granted like elementary school art, elementary school music and our special schools for severely challenged students."

Supporters say a yes vote helps more than just the kids.

"We will be living amongst the future grads of public education," says Stout.

"It's very important because I can't replace employees on the job, if they're not educated," says Mobile business owner Steve Hall.

But supporters say even without a vocal opposition, they're using every chance they get before the election to clear up confusion.

"The thing that we've had to clarify most is that it is not a new tax it is a tax renewal," says supporter Cyndi Whitehead.

If the taxes are voted down, Dr. Nichols says the layoffs and class cuts would start next year.

School officials say, to put it in perspective, if you have a $100,000 mortgage, you will pay about $130 towards the school taxes.
