Tax would boost veteran services 08/09/08 and my opinion!

 

County officials put small tax on ballot
By Chad Selweski

Macomb County veterans rallied the troops Friday and convinced county officials to place a small tax on the November ballot that would fund veterans services.

Macomb Daily : Tax would boost veteran services 08/09/08

As Many of you know I am a strong supporter of the Detroit Zoo tax, as it is special and dear to me. It is also the #1 attraction in Michigan, pumps $60 million back into the economy, and how could Detroit be without a Zoo? and all the behind the scences saving wildlife, and housing animals that could not live in the wild...... Well, now it seems everyone is going to try for small taxes that will add up to a lot over time. Veterans need help and I do strongly support them. Grandpa was a WWII vet! But, people need to realize they need to raise the money themselves and not force people to donate money, and I bet the tax is not even tax deductible. I stopped ALL donations to places I support due to not being able to afford too! I pay in a new way to the Detroit Zoological Society, I volunteer.

I do not live in this county, but I strongly urge people to vote NO! and if you want to give $4 or more a year, find out where the money is going and pull your checkbook out and write a check!

First some people want to change Ho Ho Ho cause it refuse to a Ho (slut) and now they wanna trim Santa down cause being fat is not good. Hey if you eat a ton of cookies in one night, what do you think? He is an exception to how people eat.

I will take my Fat Santa going HO HO HO! and wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!!

p.s. No Happy Holiday! Only Merry Christmas!!
p.s.s. Yes, I am accepting to other religions and I do not care if someone says Happy Hanukah to me. I Would take it the same as someone saying Merry Christmas to me!! (I would wish them a Happy Hanukah  back).

Boycott Starbucks Tomorrow (Tuesday 7/31/07)

Why? Because they are raising their rates by 9 cents. Most coffee houses raise their rates every 2-3 years. They already rasied the price of coffee by 3 cents this year. I know, they are fair trade, but so is Beaner's and their refill rate on all sizes are $1.25 and my Tall Drink (Small) will go from $1.53 to $1.62 - only a small 10 cents for a Personal Cup Discount to $1.52. I cannot afford this increase and will have to start searching for a new coffee place since I did not like the Rowanda at Beaner's so I will be trying other coffee places to see if there are other good places. I do not need to pay the coffee growers to go to school, and give them better living conditions. Would be nice, but I cannot afford it! I gotta worry about paying my college bill and get into my own place before I can help other people.
 
I also want to make a point, if you keep raising the rates, people are not gonna keep coming. I understand their clients are more affluent, but I hope they stick up for this too. Cost of living is going up way too much and not everyone gets raises to counter cost of living.
