Voters in Oakland County will decide this August on a property tax to support the Detroit Institute of the Arts. Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson is encouraging residents to support it.

"So the tax would have been 19 bucks on the average home sold last year. You know, that's a bad day at Starbucks," Patterson said to laughter from the audience [Sheeple] at Friday's Pancake & Politics panel discussion.

"I think the tax will fly.  I think people understand appreciate. And then when you get, if the tax passes ... the communities that pass it get free admission to the DIA, so you're gonna get it back your first trip. So, I think it's gonna pass overwhelmingly."

M'kay, so Babbling Brooksie got his way with herding the 7 Republican turncoats on the Oakland County Board of Commissioners who voted with the unanimous Democrats to send the DIA Tax Hike and Oakland County Art Institute Authority creation (see page 387) off to a vote by the Sheeple.    Yannow, it is written that the age-old axiom says, Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.  Congratulations, Oakland County, voters!  You have spoken!  By your vote, YOU OWN THE DIA TAX.

Oakland County officials plan to take their first step next week to safeguard property taxes meant for funding the Detroit Institute of Arts from getting in the hands of the city's creditors.

Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson said the resolution is a pre-emptive strike against Detroit and its creditors as the city prepares to fight to persuade bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes the city is eligible for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection.

"That would be a tremendous betrayal of public trust. That's not what that tax was passed for," Patterson told The Detroit News on Tuesday. "We will take steps to suspend the tax levy. We're clearly within our rights, and we're going to exercise that."

Read on.

Then what was the tax passed for, Brooksie?  A hint.  Would you like to know what would be a tremendous betrayal of public trust?  Still being led around by a hoary County politician who refuses to accept he has outlived his usefulness (tho, apparently now sober), and now wants his Obamacare-esque "do over" for his DIA Tax hike scheme with November 2014 elections approaching.

Now pay up, suckers.

The following information is being disseminated via The Michigan Republican Party Fusion Center. The information contained within should not to be shared with any outside parties or individuals.

I highly recommend cracking open a case of Monster Heavy Metal before watching. You'll need it way before this clip ends.

Seriously, you need notes to tell people about YOUR OWN RECORD?

Now, contrast the above to this:

OK, I present: Exhibit A, which spreading bogus information should be bad enough considering he's a Lefty Progress Michigan digital media "operative".  Ooooo, spooky.  Now, for a second dose of well deserved butt-hurt I present Joshua's buddy as Exhibit B, which really goes to illustrate what mindless, regurgitating lemmings those on the Left truly are.  Reagan invented the EITC?  #FAIL.  It was Lefty Democrat Senators Russell Long and Lloyd Bentsen who rammed through that disgusting wage subsidy for the "working poor" into 1975 tax code.  Even a simple search on IRS.gov clearly states that.  Attributing the EITC to Ford, or that Big Government Moderate idiot Nixon who inspired the Negative Income Tax scheme is fair game as far as I'm concerned.  But, hanging the creation of the "free lunch" EITC on Reagan?  No.  That is a lie.

Progressives.  For those that are unaware, Russell Long's father, Huey Long, was the original "wealth redistribution" and "tax the rich" Kingfish from Louisiana way before our two Twitter trolls or their Obamessiah were an itch in their papa's pants.  

Yet, it is folk on the Left today like Joshua, and Kevin, who dare call themselves something with the word progress in it?  Another #FAIL.  When has The Left ever changed?  They are Socialists, and dimwit ones at that.

A Time For Choosing.

"We have so many people who can't see a fat man standing beside a thin one without coming to the conclusion the fat man got that way by taking advantage of the thin one. So they're going to solve all the problems of human misery through government and government planning."

That 1964 Speech sure makes as much sense today as it did then.  Nancy Classless is as wrong to hand out "free lunch" EITC in Michigan, as Gerald Ford was on March 29, 1975.  

"Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so."
