ARIZONA PLANS TO HIT THE FEDERAL GOVT. WHERE IT HURTS.....IN THE POCKETBOOK!!!!!

The state of Arizona, who is in the forefront on solving the border problems, says the U.S. govt. is NOT doing it's job in protecting the Mexican/United States border from invaders (illegal immigrants) & criminals.

So the legislature of the state of Arizona, under the push of Arizona Senator Dean Martin (repub.), is now talking about withholding billions of tax dollars from the federal govt.

To be more specific, the state wants it's citizens to send their federal tax dollars to the state instead of to the govt. Then the state would deduct the amount of money they use in fighting illegal immigration and crime from illegals from that money. After which the state would then send the remaining amount that would be left over to the Federal govt.

Well I bet this gets those old Washington tongues a waging!!!!

The yearly budget for the state of Arizona is $8 Billion and fighting illegal immigration costs $1.3 Billion per year. And that doesn't even count the amount it takes to fight against the criminal element, coming across the border.

Anyway, many of you are probably thinking....No way would the federal govt. allow a state to get away with not paying their taxes, cause we all know the old boys in the govt. both democrats & republicans, like that money..afterall, how would they ever get all their "pork projects" funded if all the states don't hand over our hard earned tax dollars?
However, the 10th amendment of the U.S. constitution states, and I quote.....
Amendment X (10)
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Now this is being interpreted by some as meaning, what the federal govt. can't or won't do can be taken care of by the states themselves.

Now this idea HAS already passed the Arizona state finance commitee last week, and will go to the state legislature soon.
Also as you can imagine..MANY Arizona residents are well behind this idea!
I mean if they have to give up their hard earned tax dollars anyway, they might as well have it used in a way that actually helps them!!!

I will be watching this closely to see how it unfolds.....my guess is that it probably won't be approved, because if it were then ALOT of other states would do the same thing....as MANY MANY states, not only those on the border, have a tremendous economic and criminal problem regarding Illegals.
I do however believe this WILL force the federal govt. to actually pay attention and do something about the tremendously out of control border problems that we face today.

We face these tremendous problems because our federal govt. has for to long now ignored it, and allowed it to happen so that corporate America can get cheap labor!..And so that our rich bitch elites can get cheap maids, nannys, butlers, gardeners, etc... because as we all know.....GREED rules their lives.

But isn't it about time we stopped letting THEIR greed rule our lives too!!!!!

SO HERES TO YOU ARIZONA!!!...FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT & WIN IT IF YOU CAN!!!!.....and to the federal govt. corporate America, & the rich who can never get enough....I think I hear your long overdue wake up call whistling on the breeze!!!!!
