It’s Time To Stick It
To the Blue States

Power Line, by John Hinderaker

After years of campaigning for higher taxes, it is beginning to dawn on liberal residents of blue states that the effects, for them, will not be pretty. Most of the nation’s “rich”–those earning over $250,000 a year, or, depending on President Obama’s mood, $175,000–live in the blue states. Moreover, the deductions that are likely slated for reduction or elimination, including state taxes and home mortgages, mostly benefit blue state residents. So the New York Times, a prime agitator for higher taxes, appears to be having second thoughts: As they continue to wrangle over the year-end fiscal deadline

They will escape to Red States and infect them with their liberalism.

We aren´t going to win this tax battle; we can only hope that Obama and the Democrats own this economy after they get their way. But I look forward to the blue states getting hit hard!

Residents of Blue states who voted for Obama need to have punishing taxes levied on them ... these are the people who just LOVE to spend other people´s money except, of course, now it will be THEIR money. California has done that in spades to achieve a financial debacle there that no other state wants to experience. Obama is THEIR guy so what´s the problem? What you sow so shall you reap, Richie Rich. And stay out of my state fools.

They move to Red states to escape the liberal hell they have created in their home states.

Then many start whining about how much better it was ´back home´.

Then the whiners start working to recreate the cesspits they just escaped from.
And they vote for the same kind of liberals they did ´back home´.

These kind of escapees have pretty well ruined much of North Carolina, Florida and many other parts of the south.

The first deduction that has to go is the one for state income taxes. Those of us in the red states should not to have to subsidize the blue states that have high state income taxes.

Just as there are exemptions for corporations that don´t want the Obamboozlercare (so long as they play nice) there could well be tax exemptions in the works for top earners (so long as they play nice). This is how Marxists build a following.

By all means stick it to the blue states - oh but I live in a very blue state with no hope unless it is split down the middle into red and blue - even then that won´t help as my half ,the blue half, has all the unions in it and the red half the free thinkers. Got any good potato soup recipes anyone?

For sure, they voted in President Taxobama, so now they have to live with it...this like going to dinner with a rattlesnake, sooner or later the snake is going to bite you!

Obama wants to raise taxes. His first inclination is to raise everyone´s taxes and blame it on the GOP. His strategy is to force the GOP to keep proposals until they create new revenue without raising taxes this year. Then next year he will take the new revenue and then raise taxes. I´d rather have everyone pay the Clinton rates than create new revenue this year AND then pay the Clinton tax rates in addition in a year.

If every red state got rid of their state income tax it might mean a huge wealth transfer to them from the blue states. Obamacare is a huge opportunity for this as well. Every state that refuses to cooperate will wind up being subsidized by blue states. Another way to make it more difficult for blue staters to move to red states would be for red states to refuse to recognize credentials from blue states, and force them to obtain new credentials. I´ll tell you one thing, if I ever escape from California I will never tell anyone where I came from.

#2, it certainly hasn´t worked like that in Colorado. Many Californians fled here, and now I suppose everyone moving here for legal marijuana will turn this state permanently blue.

The blue states are all the ones going into a death spiral. Maybe sticking it to them will finally wise them up. Or maybe not, because that´s where the uber-grifters reside.

A some point the useful idiots wake up and realize, "Where did these chains come from, they are not laying lightly on my shoulders". Communists can not allow them to use their voter fraud and other skills against their masters. Historically speaking the useful idiots get the plastic bag treatment, pol pot style. Happened in Russia, China, Cuba and Cambodia. The greatest punishment is allways reserved for the useful idiots. The conservative opposition gets the re-education camp. We are the ones that make the useful idiot skull pyramids

I don´t think that red States could deny credentials poster. Seems like that would fall under the reciprocity clause

The manifest problem with the "sticking it to the blue states" is that O really sticks it to the non-blue upper earners of the blue states. Think seriously about that.

These wealthy Obama supporters are the super rich. No tax increase will affect their lifestyles. But for the ones who are still working, enjoy your Obamacare taxes, your increased rates of tax on long-term capital gains, your 43% tax on qualified dividends. Have fun sending your money to Barack. He´ll be jetting around the US and the world calling you a bunch of greedy rich people. He knows, he is a greedy rich person. ($16 million from his books through 2011.)

It will all be fun and games until the Treasury auction comes and no buyers are there. Then he will have to turn to your IRA and 401(k) accounts. Sorry about that. You are the ones that voted for him.

MINEOLA, N.Y. — A Hofstra University student being held in a headlock at gunpoint by an intruder was accidently shot and killed by a police officer who had responded to the home invasion at an off-campus home, police said Saturday. Junior public relations major Andrea Rebello was shot once in the head early Friday morning by an officer who opened fire after the masked intruder pointed a gun at the officer while holding the 21-year-old student, Nassau County homicide squad Lt. John Azzata said. In a tense confrontation with the officer, gunman Dalton Smith "menaces

I have always been skeptical of electric vehicles, mostly because of my perception that electric car makers are more interested in subsisting on government subsidies than in competing on a level playing field for my business. So I was intrigued when I got an email this morning from Jeff Evanson, Tesla Motors’ Vice-President of investor relations. Evanson, a long-time Power Line reader, pointed out that the company raised over $1 billion last week, and will use a portion of those proceeds to pay off its loan with the Department of Energy ahead of schedule. This will make Tesla

Here is a woman we will need to learn much more about in the coming weeks. Sarah Hall Ingram is a highly valued employee at the IRS. In the last three years she has received $103,390 in bonuses for her excellent work. She was the Commissioner of the Tax-Exempt and Government Entitles Division. Under her leadership, groups that expressed a fear of large, out-of-control government were systematically crushed by her branch of our large, out-of-control government. They were specifically singled out for harassment for political reasons. Secret information about the conservative applicants was leaked to leftist

An exasperated Rep. Pat Tiberi on Friday asked the former acting chief of the IRS to explain to Congress why he would move the leader of the division that targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status to a branch that is overseeing one of the most partisan issues of recent memory — President Obama’s health care law. “Because she’s a superb civil servant, sir,” Steven Miller, who resigned under duress last week, told the Ohio Republican at a hearing before the House Committee on Ways and Means.

I was on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show last night, talking about the Benghazi talking point emails. Near the end of the segment, Hugh asked whether I thought the presidential election might have turned out differently if Obama and Clinton had not succeeded in covering up the truth about Benghazi. I was skeptical. The story of the election, I said, was the Obama campaign’s ability to turn out, once again, a large majority of the low-information voters who swept Obama into office in 2008. Few of those low-information voters, I said, would either have understood, or cared about, Benghazi

A Breach of Trust

As tax collector for the nation’s second-largest state, I know it’s a necessary function — from the fire station to the space station, nothing government does is possible without taxes. But it’s sure no path to popularity. Tax collectors have had a rotten reputation since biblical times. For all the services and all the people that depend on it, our work has to be viewed as fair and even-handed. It’s a basic bond of trust, and once that trust is lost, it’s hard to get back. Our entire nation was born when the colonists decided Britain’s taxes were unfair

While many Democrats have joined Republicans in public shaming of the Internal Revenue Service for singling out conservative groups, others say the scandal is just a byproduct of muddied rules about nonprofits and political activity in the wake of the Citizens United ruling — and they’re hoping that they can steer the conversation from outrage over political targeting to fuel for campaign finance reform. But senior Dems may have much more than an opportunity to try to turn scandal to their advantage: they may have a degree of culpability as one especially vocal proponent

Officials on Benghazi:

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
