The Brits Do It Better

Apparently, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hasn't taxed enough of our hard-earned money. Now, she wants a "windfall" profits tax on any stock earnings you might have. Who would benefit from this new tax? Among other groups, Pelosi wants to give the money to illegal aliens!

"We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long ways to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as "Americans."

So Pelosi's solution is to dole out ever-more taxpayer dollars to illegals by raising taxes on citizens and legal residents, so that those in this country legally will have to subsidize those who are not on a writ-large basis.

Contrast this to Britain, whose Labour Government (a party that has its roots in the socialist trade union movement of the 19th Century) is preparing to limit its quota of non-European immigrants to those who have learned English before they are allowed into that country. Note that the position of the Conservative Party in Britain, traditionally the champion of the middle class, religion, and the nuclear family, is now in a bind. In the Tories' rush to be seen as the "compassionate" party, they have (up to now) neglected to address the immigration problem in Britain. Sound familiar?

Perhaps the Mother Country can teach us a thing or two again
