Republican Idealogues Cannot Build nor Save our State

   Fear of taxes in the Face of debt is fear of responsibility. War, the Republicans wanted it, got it and now choose not to pay the debt! Two wars and tax breaks to those glorious Corporate Citizens! Yes, you know them, the New Globalists who believe their citizenship is world market share and Resource exploitation. The Bushes and Willards of the NEW WORLD order that say, "We made it there and shall pay US nothing! Yes, the same set that like to blame our education system for not creating the trained, blind and oblivious followers of Republican Ignorance. Education is not the training of people for employ by the Corporate Citizen, it is the creating of an educated, capable citizen. The manufacturers, the businesses, the tech heavy and woeful business world used to train qualified willing people for their respective positions, though now it is seen to be a failing of the educational system to not have at the Corporate disposal ready made soldiers for the Global front! Hog-swill I say. Our first duty is to family, Our second to community our Third to Country! Our debts as a country must be paid. Believing that lower taxes on those who take the most, waste the most and demand the most is wrong and just plain Republican ignorance, period. Until we resolve our outstanding debts, until the everyman can live again with a sense of place and economic security, our country, our communities are in Danger! The Republicans blame the weakest people in our Nation for taking too much; that being the barest of needful things, food and health. Yet, we work and the Corporate Citizen pays us less, and works us more. No longer do our companies offer Pensions~ Those are long gone. So they pretend to offer up a 401k retirement plan, which every ten years is raided by the Wall St. Corporate Citizen in the name of the free market, not the free American! Our 'insurances' for working, we pay as the company pretends to help pay for it! Our rates climb, the hard work pays little, the Company must profit and the worker must pay! It is indeed a system of Lie, Cheat and Steal, with the Corporate Citizens backed by the Biggest lying, cheating, wasting machine there is today, that being the Republican Corporate Machine. They would pay no taxes, yet keep spending on the unlimited, undisclosed Pentagon Budget! Yes, indeed there is NO Budget for Military spending, it is the Favorite money flush of the Republican. The Military Industrial Complex has been their wonderful money Machine. Yet, your education, your roads, jobs and indeed the future of the United States of America, well to the Republicans, that is a New World Order problem, not theirs!~ Pay more taxes or get ready for the stone soup lines and sawdust bread of yesterday! Ignorance is no excuse for not paying the bills~ The Corporate Citizens continue to skim the cream off the Country and refuse to give back in a real way. They have found that setting up fake non-profit organizations (mostly political) is a great tax break; they then use these to rationalize that they indeed have given back, when all the really have done is create a lobby for their cause to take more money from OUR country!  Be not blind, the everyday, average American has not created this problem, nor have the poorest and sickest. No, this problem is the continuation of the Republican Corporate Citizen.  Globalism does not build up a nation and stolen wealth does not trickle down.  God save the Truths! Good day.

Wherever the Truth Appears It is Its Own Evidence

   So here we are again ready to concede our right to that of big business bullies that believe they in their own right are just. Would the truth need to be hidden from the people if the acts were just? Would the People feel that their idea of life in Maine was hanging in the balance if the people's work was being done? How in one month's time can a man cause such distain and disgust in a people. To state that "the Governor's transitional team was not involved in government business," is a flat out lie. To deny the public access to the documents that are now at work on public policy is criminal. Worse yet, to Govern a State to only further a party and one's personal agenda is tyrannical. 
    People are measured by their words and actions; these two show a hidden truth. People who choose to spread fear, should be feared. The very idea of telling a population "the problem is worse than he thought" is to spread this fear, that the people will concede their State to his will, deeming it just.  When a fireworks bill is presented as an emergency piece of Legislation, look out- the real emergency is to run you over before you wake up!  King Paul's new reform of the Pension fund is more of the same theft practiced by 'Joc' Mckernan. This is by design to steal money from it rather than make it solvent. Adding the supposed $63 million to education from this theft is a bone to the dogs, for them to fight over. All the while large black marks will be left upon the backs of the people of our State. All money saved by reforming the State Retirement System must by law and right be put back into that system for solvency. This money is not general fund money. All of this money will have been paid for and by State workers, yet will not be paid into the fund; It will be kept in the general fund. $524 million! Then you, oh blessed Mainer, get a whooping .6%, that is one sixth of a percent tax cut. I say keep it. This is another rancid bone thrown at you, in hopes that it hits you squarely in the head, thus rendering your thoughts useless.
     As I sit here and write this our economy seems to be on the rise. What was the blackest night seems to be settling out into a deep gray. Through all of our present National problems Maine fared better than the rest of the country. How can that be if we are in such dire-straights? King Paul's "Shared Sacrifice Plan" has only the state worker, the retiree and the poor sharing the Burden, while the top will benefit greatly from even the smallest tax cuts.  It appears that the idea of "trickle down" economics is still in the minds of some, but this does not work. To give the wealthy money is to patronize them. They feel and act as if better than you. They do not use free money to invest in jobs. No. It is not until they are being squeezed for money, that they try to create new cash flow; New jobs!
Where is the motivation to go get, be, or create new jobs when you get your money from the government as an earned interest in keeping the people poor? The Governor said if you want to "get ahead, get a job," thusly implying you do not work. Ask him how long someone would have to work at Mardens to get ahead. How many hours would there be before the realization that the head was an ass for even thinking such a line could help. There is no doubt that we must work. That we work in earnest and toward a better richer life, with time for the enrichment of our lives, is the base need. This part your employers (all) deprive you of. And deliberately so, for if given the opportunity, you know their business better than they and out the door you would go, to compete against them.  Where is the livable wage? Watch and wait for your trickle down. As you work harder, better, faster there is no more. Only you can provide for you. It is the very nature of Business to suppress cost and we are it!  The cost of not having a livable wage has always been passed onto our Government and we can see the effects of it now in dramatic fashion. Yet, who gets the bailout? The War Machine, The Banker, The Sicocorp, The Insurer, the very thieves that would not pay in the first. For fear that you might better yourselves.
      Please do not believe for one second that your Power, your Rights trickle down from above. You are the Government of Maine. Where there are lies demand truth! Where there is injustice, demand justice! Where there is work do work! It is always the pleasure of Business to reform a people rather than the business. It is as if the regulations are there to stop the business, not safeguard and encourage the people. As this big business, trickle down agenda takes affect watch Our State, for the deficit will grow, even in the good economy to come! Ronald Regan proved it!

     Maine has been moved to pre-plan its attempts to save our State. The Maine Peoples Veto Alliance (now formally named The Maine Voters Alliance) has had its first official meeting and judging from the attendance people are angry, frightened, confused and down right pissed. Not a good place to be for a State.
        I would like all of you to understand that as bills are passed into Law this session they do not go into effect until 90 days after the legislative session ends. That means pay attention, if you do not like a law when the Session ends, we have 10 days to submit the paper work to petition the law and 90 days to get enough signatures. In this case 60,000 to force the law unto the ballot where it will be voted on by the people of Maine. It is a pass or fail but in a last resort case it is the best option. I would urge all of you to contact your Representatives before any bill you do not agree with ever passes in the first place. That they will listen I can not say, but let your voice be heard.

        I do not believe in big expensive government, nor an ever expansive government. But I do believe in a Government of the people, by the people and for the people. Regardless of the special interests, the people are the only interest. Maine is yours, stand up for it or live with whatever trickles down.
   The choice is yours, it always has been. Be well, Do good work, God bless you and yours.
                                                    Sincerely, Ms. Paula Page
