  4. Mayor Santos comments overshadow budget

    in Kearny

    Posted

    People have to get it through their heads that if we want to live in the 21st century, we have to pay taxes.

    Paul,

    You forgot about the part where the Federal tax burden has been shifted to the states & counties over 25 - 30 yrs.

    You forgot about the part where the overall tax burden has been shifted to working class families over 25 - 30 yrs.

    You forgot that our tax system is no longer progressive, its regressive.

    Santos was not president 25 - 30 years ago, but he gets the blame ? WOooha.

    Progressive taxation has a long history:

    As Jefferson said in a 1785 letter to James Madison, "Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise."

  6. Paul's Letter to the Observer

    Oh, sorry, yes it is. In fact, the Constitution is the SUPREME law of the land.

    Are we really back to that tired old dodge? "Sure he violated the Constitution, but since when is THAT a big deal? It's not like he broke the law or anything."

    The lengths these nuts will go to in defending classroom preachers is just amazing.

    Ahem,

    Sorry, I thought it was quite obvious.

    At least according to their leadership - Ted Haggard, Jimmy Swaggart, Tom Delay, Pat Robertson, Jim Bakker, Jerry Falwell, Jesse Jackson, etc.

    God save us all from the Christians.

    Good point, but I would offer: you got a little mixed up. There is your run of the mill Christian, then there are your Dominionists & Reconstructionists. I'm not one thats into biblical law like stoning and such, I think that stuffs me squarely into the first group. I dont buy any of that Rapture stuff & I aint no "true believer".

  13. Hudson DFA meeting to discuss Kearny Teacher

    in Kearny

    Posted

    I was wondering how things went last week.  Was this event specifically to discuss the current Kearny issue or a normal meeting?  How was the turnout and the conversation?

    Thank you-

    Normally a DFA meeting is the first wed of the month, the March 7th meeting was postponed to the 14th, because of snow. Which worked out well, Paul Aronsohn, who ran for congress in NJ-05, against Scott Garrett ( & lost), attended. Paul is considering running again in '08.

    Hudson DFA's next meeting will be April 4th.

  14. The Muslim student P thinks is bound for hell

    I guess is Mr. P. that has the media on speed dial? I don't think so.

    You are the one that has been in every news broadcaster, you are the one taking you son to visit schools out of this area to talk about this and looking to recruit support. Because you know here the only support your get is from Strife and the mayor.

    This is being blogged about, all over the country. I first read about this issue at bluejersey.net, by poster njdem:

    I would offer if the Kearny School Board had done the right thing when this problem first occured, the issue would have wilted on the vine. But the School Board has behaved in such a way as to garner national attention.

    Now that the national spotlight is on Kearny, will the School Board conitnue to embarass?

    Progressives from across NJ are looking at Kearny to see how this goes down. SO if you dont want people from out of the area )Kearny) to flock to your town like flies on a dead bird in the street, clean up your street.
