We know the media will not help save America. They hate America as much as Obama does and always have. When Obama came on the scene, they sprung to life behind the leader they always yearned for but could never find. To save America, we have to keep asking questions and keep demanding answers. We have to talk to friends, co-workers, and family members asking these questions about Obama the media won’t ask. What questions to ask, read on:

The vote was 23-12 largely along party lines.  There were a few Democrats that voted for the bill — mostly those that serve on Sen. Thayer’s State & Local Government Committee.  Sen. Gerald Neal, who serves on that committee from Louisville initially voted to support the bill but after Sen. Kathy Stein from Lexington said she did not believe in lowering the threshold for abolishing anything he reversed his vote.  Now it is off to the House of Representatives.

Call the LRC, 1-800-372-7181 and tell the Northern Kentucky Caucus that you support SB-62.

The capital gains tax is on the profit from the sale of assets held for over a year. The capital gains tax rate was actually lowered to enhance tax revenue as much as anything else. The lower rate incentivized the sale of assets which produced income to be taxed. Thus it was good for the government's income. The turn over of assets also greatly stimulates the economy, as it frees up capital to obtain more productive assets.

Obama was told of these facts during the election and said he didn't care he just wanted to be more fair. It seems unfair that a soldier may lose a limb fighting for our country, but cutting off everyone's limbs won't make it fairer.

Raising the tax rate on the sale of assets, especially under the present conditions, will drastically reduce such sales. Government income will be reduced causing an increase in the deficit. The economy will retract ensuring another recession. The Buffet Rule is not fair, it is suicide.

Wednesday, January 25 SB-62, the bill to lower the number of signatures to get NKAPC on the ballot was passed though the Senate State & Local Government Committee.  This bill is authored by Senator Thayer and Senator Schickel after they were overwhelmed with complaints from their constituents.  You can watch the entire 60 minute hearing by clicking here or use the following guide to zoom to the highlights. 

Following are some interesting statistics about firearms and the 2nd Amendment.

14.8 Million - number of Americans who currently participate in rifle target shooting. 18.4 Million participate in hand gun target shooting.

In response to a question about why Americans made their most recent firearm purchase, 40 percent of respondents said “home protection” followed by 36 percent citing “personal protection.” Target shooting (30 percent) and hunting (28 percent) came next.

In 2010 it was reported between 39% and 42% of the people have guns in their home of some type.
