This may be too little, too late. The plain and simple fact of the matter is that he has been part of the Washington political machine for so long that he became part of the “culture” that Americans want to dismantle. His abrupt about face and vote for the TARP speaks volumes about where he really stands on important issues. On the other hand, Heyworth served 12 years as Arizona’s Representative from 1995 to 2007 and also had to become tainted by the Washington “culture” to some degree. If it was my vote, I’d go with Heyworth, all the way. He hosts a conservative talk show in Phoenix and his consistently been more “right” on the issues than McCain who, I think, is a Progressive in disguise. He sure acts like on on occasion. TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I heard someone say yesterday that the Value Added Tax is unconstitutional. Is that correct? (Janel ~ Banning, CA)A. The 16th Amendment reads: “The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.” Up to that point, the right of the government to collect income taxes was questionable at best. The 16th Amendment does not give the government any right to impose a sales tax or value-added tax, according to the way I read it. Section 9 covers taxes, but seems to be to be somewhat vague and probably does not apply to sales or value-added taxes. Section 8, however, seems to say to me that Congress does have the power to tax. This is their power, not the President’s, so even if Obama orders them to pass a VAT tax, they have the authority not to. As a matter of fact, let’s not forget that they had the power, authority, and even the obligation not to pass the Health Care Bill.
Q. Is ACORN finally going away? (Jerry ~ Lompoc, CA)
A. They'd like you to think so. They are changing their names in various locales and "reorganizing" so that they will be harder to pin- down and recognize. It's up to us to find out who is really behind any community organization before we get involved with it and, if they're involved with any political activity and/or receiving any federal money. You don't want to get any Socialist diseases, you know.
Q. If you’re overweight, are they going to charge you more on your health premiums? (Harriett ~ Tooele, UT)
A. There’s been talk about it. However, if you’re an illegal alien, you definitely won’t have to pay anything.
