Someone has to pay taxes. It's not only patriotic, but it keeps us civilized. Democrats are the ones who want to give tax breaks to the Middle Class. Hell, If R's had their way, they'd do away with minimum wage, and those poor suckers would get paid $2 an hour instead of $7 something.
emilynghiem you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Dear
Carla_Danger
Democrats like me can put our own money directly into solutions
and write it off taxes as business expenses so we have local control.
Oh wait, I'm already doing that working two jobs to try to help
a Black woman Republican who is also working two jobs to
fund the business plans for our district. Garnet Coleman (D)
was instrumental in channeling millions of funds to his district away from ours
which is nationally historic. Keeping his office is more important than saving national history.
Freedmen s Town Historic Churches and Vet Housing
Meanwhile all the Democrat Mayors and our Democrat Congresswoman
have let millions of dollars of taxmoney go into destroying the district
wehre we had plans to set up a sustainable campus for veterans and church volunteers
to manage and preserve the historic landmarks as a Civil rights educational site.
So you tell me how Democrats are allowing tax money to go community solutions?
by this ACA adding a GREATER tax burden, how am I supposed to pay
for that AND pay for the district programs the govt won't support,
while millions went to hostile developers to seize land for themselves
in order for Democrats to run for and keep their offices. They didn't dare
go against these corporate interests. So millions went to them, nothing
went to the resident community plans for restoring the site and reforming
public housing as a campus for jobs education and breaking the cycle of poverty,
and two women one Democrat and one Republican are stuck working two
jobs to pay for the damages done to the district by evicting and denying support
of local nonprofits, business plans and churches pressured by the city to give up their land.
Note: the only leader who has offered support for Gladys and the Freedmen's Town business plans
is Allen West who heard about this when I called in to a radio show where he was speaking.
So I am trying to introduce them to combine their business plans to
train minority and vet leaders. SJLee and Sylvestor Turner protested
the destruction of historic brick streets there, but have put no money into preservation,
though all the Democrats have money to run for office (two Democrats Gene Locke
and Annise Parker spent 1.4 and 1.6 million each running against each other for Mayor,
on the runoff campaigns alone, not counting their previous campaigning
when they could have used that money to set up a second office for one
of them to do the work of rebuilding the community and city using the campus work plans.
Yet when asked for help to buy the land to save the history, suddenly there are "no funds"
unlike the millions given to wealthy developers who had no trouble getting grants for land grabs)
Gladys last spoke with Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee on MLK Day
and it wasn't pretty.
I will try to offer some means of having all these black leaders unite
around the same business plans and quit this partisan division
that has killed our national historic district by divide and conquer.
This has been going on for so long, this is why it looks
like Democrats are in denial, like stockholm syndrome of
kissing up to the people holding them ransom.
The Black democrats and christians are being taken advantage of for having
their faith in their leaders to make good on promises and principles.
So either Democrats need to make good on those promises,
or stand equally guilty of fraud and political cult abuse stringing people along
while robbing them of their labor and donations claiming to support their plans.
At this point, after what I've seen of denial and bullying,
I am ready to call it as political cult abuse and discrimination by creed.
The whole Democrat party needs to be called to account
and either people didn't know it was going on
or they were oppressed and bullied/coerced into it,
but this is not acceptable and can't be written off as the norm.
Very sad and indicative of the problems with the party
that are more convenient to blame externally rather than fix it ourselves.
I will give Democrats one more chance to show there is
sincere commitment to make good on what our party promises.
And if there is no support, then I will call it fraud and file complaints of abuse.
I went into this and invested my own money and labor
believing there was a sincere interest in developing the campus plans.
So if this turns out to be false, then I never agreed to invest my labor
and this has been involuntary servitude because I was investing
in plans to teach community residents how to manage and preserve the district.
CD you may find other Democrats you think are helping
but all the ones i have seen keep taking money out of the
community and taxpayers, paying into political campaigns
and favors to get support for office, and expecting citizens to work for our own resources
and plans while handouts go to corporate interests.
sure if you want to blame Republicans for not helping
Gladys get support for her business plans, fine, but she deserves help.
not more projected blame back and forth between parties while
she works two jobs without funding support from either one.
If the Republicans are the first to support these plans
shame on the Democrats for waiting on someone else.
We asked and begged for help, and if the Republicans
are the first to respond what does that say about Democrats?
