This reduces the sales tax on such items by 4%.

The offset is that the highest earning/achievers in the state will be hit with a lower deduction for federal income tax to make up the shortfall.

If you ask those who are backing it then you hear the excuse that it is being done to “help the poor”. There is a flaw in this theory and when confronted with it they ignore it. Somehow they think that if there are no evil words about anything they propose then there will be no evil in what they do.
Yes that sounds odd but think about it for a minute.

The very people that this bill is purported to help do NOT pay sales tax on food as by and large the poor are on food stamps and any purchase made with them is TAX FREE.

The purveyors of the myth of need over rights are again pushing the sanction of the victim as an excuse to take by force money from those who have done will in order to support BY FORCE OF GOVERNMENT those who have not.

This is in no shape, form or substance the purpose of government laid out in the constitution.

Why will the progressives (read welfare statists) not just come out and state what they are going for rather than hide it with altruistic warm & fuzzy beggings. Are they afraid that if they state their real intentions that the general public will refuse them and turn them out of office?

The next stage of the civil discourse in this state & nation will hinge on whether those who are for freedom and rights are wiling to stand up and push back against the mystics of muscle and the altruists in order to save this nation and keep us from becoming an average nation like all of those in Europe.

A BILL
TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT

To propose an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, to repeal Amendment 225 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 211.04 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended; to limit the state income tax deduction for federal income taxes for individual taxpayers; and to exempt sales of food from state sales tax.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF ALABAMA:

Section 1. The following amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended, is proposed and shall become valid as a part thereof when approved by a majority of the qualified electors voting thereon and in accordance with Sections 284, 285, and 287 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended:

PROPOSED AMENDMENT

(a) Amendment 225 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 211.04 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended, is repealed.

(b) For all tax years beginning after December 31, 2010, federal income taxes paid or accrued shall be allowed as a deduction for individual income taxpayers, subject to the following limitations:

(1) For single, married filing separately, and head of household taxpayers with adjusted gross income of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) or less, and for married taxpayers filing jointly with adjusted gross income of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) or less, all federal income taxes paid or accrued shall be allowed as a deduction.

(3) For married taxpayers filing jointly with adjusted gross income of more than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the federal income tax deduction shall be reduced by an amount equal to one percent of federal income taxes paid or accrued for each three thousand dollars ($3,000) of adjusted gross income in excess of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000).

Section 2. An election upon the proposed amendment shall be held in accordance with Sections 284 and 285 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended, and the election laws of this state.

Section 3. The appropriate election official shall assign a ballot number for the proposed constitutional amendment on the election ballot and shall set forth the following description of the substance or subject matter of the proposed constitutional amendment:

“Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, to repeal Amendment 225 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 211.04 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended; to limit the state income tax deduction for federal income taxes for individual taxpayers; and to exempt sales of food from state sales tax.

“Proposed by Act ________.”

This description shall be followed by the following language:

“Yes ( ) No ( ).”

To make things clearer some definitions at this point must be stated.

Private Enterprise:
Business activities unregulated by state ownership or control; privately owned business.
privately owned business enterprise, especially one operating under a system of free enterprise or
laissez-faire capitalism.

Property Rights:
The right to property means that a man has the right to take the economic actions necessary to earn property, to use it and to dispose of it; it does not mean that others must provide him with property.

As stated by the Justice Sutherland all three are guaranteed by our federal constitution and no state law or moral precept may override them.

Now that a foundation has been laid lets look at why I say there is no “right” to vote on the bingo.

Property is as stated the means used to earn property by use of his existing property. Be it a piece of land, a building or a piece of equipment. Gambling is a game that in some cases is an action of purely chance and others require skill.

As the owner of such a business the proprietor does not force any patron to come into his/her facility and participate in any gambling. Therefore any government mandate that a restriction on his right of practice of any business that presents no direct harm is a violation of the 4th amendment

Those who would say that what he offers is immoral are working on the premise of the rule of man over rule of law.
The “Moral” case for banning a specific business or product has no basis in the constitution and therefore is not applicable to any constitutionally allowed government action.

There are those who say “Gambling preys on the poor” or “It hurts families” as their basis for banning gambling. These people are falling into the trap of the sanction of the victim to exercise the “moral” law to violate the rights of the businessman in order to protect the victims from themselves.

There are those that claim the gambling halls bait them in with the possibility of fortunes to be won.
Yes they do advertise that you can win big money.  But that is the purpose of advertising in a free market. The possibility of a fortune being won is actually there.
The odds are low but that is the nature of the game from the start.
Caveat emptor is the law of the land when the consumer is concerned in his/her interaction with the business.

No one forces the poor to go into any establishment to gamble or buy liquor or fast food or even coffee. No one forces the families to be hurt by the poor decisions made by those who support them.

The moment that the law is construed to protect a person or group from their own bad decisions on the premise that they are an assumed victim then the law has passed from its actual definition to a mandate of control of persons possible future actions actions and it has moved beyond protect of rights.

That being said we proceed to the claim that the people should be allowed to vote on whether gambling is legal is almost a moot point.

This is a republic by definition and as such the people have no right to vote. The founding fathers knew that the vote should be a franchise reserved to those who had a definite stake in the government and if given as a right then it would become a tool of plunder.

Therefore the allowance of the people to vote whether a business can exist or not is in direct violation of the constitution and by constitutional law the prevention of gambling or of any business that does not create direct harm is impermissible

Did you notice on it that there was a statement “Your response to the Census Bureau is required by law”?

Yes they Do have the power under fed code to require you to answer all the questions and yes this is a direct violation of your right to privacy.

Think I am kidding about the requirement?

Here is the code itself.

Furthermore if you decide to give them fake info on the questions that are outside of what is required by the constitution then they can charge you under the following statute.

Now somehow I don’t think that any of those statutes fit within the confines of the following from Article I Section 2 Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.

I don’t see anywhere in there a requirement that I MUST answer their questions.

LIke Congresswoman Michelle Bachman I refuse to fill out the question beyond number in household as anything further is NOT required by constitutional mandate and neither should you as the census form has to go through many hands and you have NO idea WHO may want to use your information for nefarious purposes.

So when you get YOUR census think twice about exactly what you are giving them.

That being said below is a revised constitution that clarifies those things that the founding fathers assumed the reader would understand and makes specific some things that were to general to the point of being useable against the very individuals it was meant to protect. 

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. 

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all persons are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness with no right conferred therein guaranteed to any entity outside of the individual. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. –Such has been the patient sufferance of these states; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter the systems of the federal government. The history of the recent office holders of President represents a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an overreaching central control over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. 

They have forbidden the governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained via permission of the Justice Department; and when so suspended, The Justice Department has asserted final rule on all local laws as such and usurped the sovereignty of the states.They have refused to assent to laws in regards to rights of the people, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

They have used the media in all forms as a platform for disingenuous means against member of the legislature for opposing with manly firmness their invasions on the rights of the people and private industry.  They have called together legislative bodies at times unusual, uncomfortable, and with the reason of expediency for a perceived threat, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

For imposing taxes on us without our consent and prosecution of non payment of these taxes through assumption of guilt before trial through government procedure: 

Several presidents have imposed on the citizenry through legislation without the consent of the governed taxation with the sole purpose of providing unearned stipends that are unconstitutional and unsecured. 

They have set controls of private industry and trade that have been imposed with the specious reason of fairness of which there is no guarantee and none should be expected. 

In every stage of these oppressions and others we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by derision as upsetting the general welfare and persecution through covert & overt means. A Chief of state, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the Chief Executive of a free people. 

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the achievement of the individual, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

As such we set forth the following basic tenants as free individuals before all other items or agendas of politicians, potentates or interests.

The purpose of government is to protect the rights of those individuals subject to its laws.

The fundamental right of any individual is the right to their own life: each individual has the right to act on their own judgment by their own voluntary choice.

No law or constitutional provision shall be valid except as it is necessary to protect those rights as stated in this document.

If a law is found to be materially ambiguous or incongruous with the rights specified in any articles of this constitution then the law must be restated to remove that ambiguity within 1 month of that finding, after which time the law becomes null and void.

All legal requirements governing those subject to the law of the nation must be expressly stated in this constitution, or in the US Code. Appellate decisions pertaining to the validity of a law are limited to

The finding that a law is unconstitutional under Article I Section 2 or

The finding that a law is ambiguous in interpretation under Article I Section 4

The Supreme Court has the discretion to temporarily restate the ambiguous statute in a specific, unambiguous manner, said restatement remains valid until the law is rewritten by the legislative body within the allotted period set forth in Artilcle I Section 1.04.

WE MUST BE ACTIVE

Platitudes and speeches by people for gambling in the blogs and in the papers are all well and good but if  “common sense” had been written and no one actually got active in their opposition to what the King of England was doing we would all sound like Michael Cain.

THEREFORE I put forth a list of things that everyone can do toward making a difference.

Contact your State Government

1. Go to FIND YOUR LEGISLATOR and enter your zip code to find your local legislative representative
2. Go to CONTACT THE GOVERNOR and send him an email showing your disgust with his handling of this affair.
3. Go to CONTACT BINGO BOBS CABINET and each member has their own direct email address so you can contact them.

For those who get this far know that I am doing this as one part of a larger effort to enlighten the public to what exactly is happening to their nation, state, county or parish and city.

Part and parcel of my motto is the statement “Si vis pacem, para bellum”, to have peace prepare for war.

SunTzu teaches “know your enemy and you know yourself”. Well I consider the current trend toward socialism and the furtherence of the welfare state as the enemy.  To that end I intend to arm every person possible to know the enemy and be able to face it with full confidence and defeat those to stand for it.

It is occuring at the national level through the actions of the one who stated he would bring “change”.
Yea we have seen the change he has brought vis a vis unprecedented federal spending, expansion of government into areas that would make the founding father puke. And all done in the name of  “hope & change”. 
Well the voters hoped and now they only have change in their pockets after they are unemployed and have no foreseeable chance at getting new work due to the constraints on any business hiring.

In that effort I erected the site that brought you here in order to show the people of this state what the media is too chicken to hammer the current resident of the governors seat about on many fronts.

He claims to be a Republican (usually that means a person stands for individual rights and individual responsiblity) yet he acts like a progressive with his controls and undue use of government to conduct his newest atrocities in the name of the people.

I started this effort to show the people of this state & nation that THEY CAN make a difference one person at a time.

Remember always that this is a nation of individuals and one person can make a difference. If you think I lie look at Martin Luther King. Look at Abraham Lincoln. OR even look at Thomas Edison.

Dr. King brought the issue of civil rights to the spotlight and kept it there till change occured. He changed the nation.

Lincoln brought the issue of slavery to light through the emancipation proclamation and pushed and pushed to end slavery. He changed the nation

Edison brought the modernization of the country to the forefront with his ingenuity and inventiveness and change the face of the nation.

One person can make a difference and YOU may be the one to do it just because of one statement you see or read on here or some other place but it can be done.

 We are slowly seeing the erosion of our country, states, counties & cities through the actions of a few that say they speak for us all when they demand that we sacrifice more and more in order to help others and they never even give us a chance to ask WHY? They take actions in the name of the state when they tell us that something is bad for us without even letting us determine whether we think so or not as if we were their ignorant children.

 Yes I am going on but it needs to be put to the nation and to the people that they can actually DO something that will ACTUALLY make a diference.

 It must be said, It had to be said the world is perishing from an orgy of self-sacrifice.
