HOW LONG WILL THE PUBLIC CONTINUE TO BELIEVE IN CONGRESS?

The heading seems to be quite negative but as we consider the facts of what Congress is telling the American citizens about the new proposed immigration bill you may doubt Congress.

Back in WWII, and towards the end of it, Congress needed more money to support the ongoing war in Europe. So then went to the American public and asked if they would support a bill that would tax the paychecks to support the War. Congress assured the public that when the war was over, they would repeal that bill. The bill was voted into law and became know as the Victory War Tax.

The War ended and Congress was present with repealing the Victory War Tax. But Congress likes that money that the American public agreed upon. So Congress did not repeal that bill and converted into what we know today as the “Employment Tax.” That the tax Congress takes out of your paycheck as Federal taxes.

The American public fooled.

When Reagan signed the amnesty bill in the 1980's, the congress promised that this would never happen again. Now we have Kennedy who was part of that congress coming up with another bill to accomplish the same if not worse at a time when our borders need to be closed. Part of the 1980 bill was the secure the borders. It never happens.

The American public fooled again.

If this bill is passed, America will enter into the realm of “lawlessness.” We honor those who break the law.

The laws are there but Congress does not want to enforce them. It’s sad when you can’t trust your leaders and it’s appalling when we re-elect these same individuals. History repeats itself but we have short memories.
