Congress is the Key

Is Your County Investing in Real Estate and Hiring Yard Police Instead of Paving the Roads?

Fascism is being introduced at the local level.
Lexington County Council of South Carolina said that they needed another tax to the pave roads, because they did not have enough money. But now they have voted to spend 6 MILLION DOLLARS to go into competition with private businesses. On October 28th Lexington’s County Council unanimously voted to risk 6 MILLION DOLLARS to build a 120,000 square foot building that will sit empty while they hope for a company to move in to it. Or have they already made another secret crony deal? Has there been another NO PUBLIC BID CONTRACT from the County of Lexington? Was it with Alliance Consulting Engineers, perhaps?
Are there no offices for rent in Lexington County now? How would you like to pay taxes to provide capital for a government that wants to go into competition with your own business? If you are trying to rent out some office space in Lexington County SC that is your plight.
Now the government will tax your profits to pay its losses.
Is this the new definition of “capital punishment?”
Is it a proper function of government to compete with real estate developers? Or is it more appropriate that the county should be paving the roads?
But then if they paved the roads, they would not be able to use paving as an excuse for raising taxes. The deception that is being put forth goes like this: Because the building is to be constructed by a private company, that makes it a legitimate function of government. Of course, if the project was attractive to private developers, it would have already been done without any vote for tax money to be spent.
At the same time, there is an ordinance being considered to create the “property police”. Apparently they have enough money to hire a swarm of bureaucrats to tell you what to do in your own yard. 
This tax was NOT for paving the roads. It was for funding tyranny. They did not get the tax increase, but they are going ahead with the original plan with all of the tax money that they do have. 
The Property Police are back! Will you go to jail time for a messy yard? This could happen if County Council passes a newly proposed “Property Police” ordinance (designated as T14-05). A similar ordinance in Mt. Pleasant in Charleston County landed 53 year old Linda Ruggles in jail.

How the “Penny for Progress” Tax Scam Was Defeated in Lexington County, SC
The local option sales tax slogan was “A Penny for Pavement”!
“A Penny for pavement” was two lies in only four words.
It was not a penny, and it was not for pavement. Not many people were fooled.
This deception was enough to show us that we should believe nothing else that they said. 
Those who called this tax “A Penny for Pavement” were recognized as being either liars or fools. 

5th grade math is all that was needed to understand that adding 1% to the 7% sales tax is more than a 14% increase in the tax.

Divide 8 by 7 and you get 1.143
The increase would have been 0.143, which equals 14.3%
8 is 14.3% larger than 7.
This would have been more than a total of $300 MILLION DOLLARS in new tax on the people of any county that bought into this lie.

Most of the money was not to be spent on pavement. What little money that WAS to be spent on pavement was mostly for new roads, not fixing pot holes and resurfacing existing roads. They let the roads get run down on purpose so as to create an EXCUSE to raise taxes. Then IF they had gotten the new taxes they had planned to use it to hire their cronies to interfere in our lives and businesses- BIGGER GOVERNMENT, NOT BETTER ROADS.
The 14.3% sales tax increase would have been the largest tax ever proposed.
The tax on gasoline is supposed to repair the roads. 

The state has the money to repair its roads in each county but the money is being spent in other areas of the state. Gov. Haley has stated “We don’t have to raise taxes to do it. The money is there to repair our roads.”

The fraudulently named “Penny for Progress” scam

used tax money to promote higher taxes.

In Lexington County, SC Alliance Consulting Engineers received a NO PUBLIC BID CONTRACT from the County of Lexington. Alliance was paid $450,000 to promote the tax, before the election. Alliance was promised 10% of the projects that were to be funded by the tax. The projects that were to be funded by the tax were estimated to be 300 MILLION DOLLARS. Leaders at Alliance made campaign contributions to politicians who promoted the tax, and to politicians who approved the NO PUBLIC BID CONTRACT from the County of Lexington.

ILL GOTTEN GAINS are subject to be forfeited to the taxpayers. If politicians took money from a business in exchange for lucrative contracts, then that money might be ILL GOTTEN GAINS. We must investigate the possibility that revenue from the seizure of ILL GOTTEN GAINS might be enough to maintain the roads.

In Lexington County, SC this tax hike was defeated 70% to 30%. 
Here is what we learned:
A mountain of money to promote fiction cannot defeat a pinch of truth.
They bought the mailers.
They bought the yard signs.
They bought the media.
They bought the politicians.
They just could not buy the voters.
Politicians who sold out to this fiction lost their jobs.
Businesses who sold out to this fiction lost their customers.

Thomas Jefferson said:
“The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.”
We add this:
“The battle for liberty is never won, and is never lost.
The battle for liberty always continues.
It is never too late, and it is never soon enough, to defend freedom.
No matter how enslaved we are, we always have hope.
No matter how free we are we are never safe.
NOTHING EVER LIMITS THE GOVERNMENT, EXCEPT THE PEOPLE.
Any generation that fails to defend freedom will lose it.
The next generation will have to shed blood to gain it back.
When the defense of liberty becomes a crime, tyranny is already in force. At that point failure to defend liberty makes slavery at certainty.” John Perna

The National Security Agency is the only part of the government that actually LISTENS to you. Do you wish that the government would read the Constitution? Just email it privately to your friends. What we formerly called “freedom of speech” we now call the “right to remain silent.” BUT they will now claim that you DO NOT HAVE the right to remain silent… if THEY are asking the questions.
The Patriot Act is constitutionally illegal, but was signed into law takes away your rights and turns them into privileges, which the government can grant or take away at will. If you remember we were told that this would just be temporary. Now it has been made permanent. But no one protested did they?
