EDITOR - Funded by the Federal Reserve, the corrupt Elites are buying up American businesses and farmland at breakneck speeds. Now they are targeting our homes and farmland, buying them up or pushing 50-year mortgages so we peasants will never own a home. We will be debt-slaves to the banks and tax slaves to the Elites.
Within a generation or two we will be landless, debt-ridden peasants (serfs) hoping for a few crumbs from the Master's table.

Visitors to Hawaii will now be charged a “climate-change tax,” in a US first.
On Tuesday, Hawaii’s Democrat governor Josh Green signed into law a “green fee” for visitors, which will be used to offset their carbon footprint for visiting the islands. It will consist of a 0.75% tax on visitors staying at hotels and rental properties, and cruise-ship passengers will also have to pay a prorated tax for the number of days their ship is in port on the islands.
The new law will take effect in January of next year.
Hawaii has consistently gone further than other US states in imposing restrictions on carbon emissions, whether as a voluntary measure from government or in response to legal action from citizens.
Last year, Hawaii’s Department of Transport (DoT) reached a settlement with 13 teenagers who alleged it was violating the state constitution by operating a transportation system that harms the environment and infringes their right to a pollution-free environment.
Under the settlement, the Hawaii DoT will adopt a plan to hit net-zero emissions by 2045 for ground, air and marine transportation. Emissions targets are set for five-year intervals.
The DoT has promised to take “any actions necessary” to meet the emissions targets, including creating a volunteer youth council to advise the department and the establishment of a special unit under the direction of a “Climate Change Mitigation and Culture Manager.”
EDITOR - It's an old, old story. "Magically" Republicans join with Leftists to pass Socialist bill after Socialist bill. A Crazy Blogger like me sees a pattern. There is only one party. The Uni-Party.
Last Thursday, the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works reported legislation (the Prove It Act) that sets the stage and lays the foundation to impose a carbon dioxide tax on American families, workers, and consumers.
This new energy tax was voted out of committee 14-5, with four Republicans — Senator Kevin Cramer (from North Dakota, an energy producing state), Senator John Boozman (Arkansas), Senator Graham (South Carolina), and, most inexplicably, Senator Cynthia Lummis (from Wyoming, another state that produces energy) — joining ten Democrats to create this new tax.
Five Republicans, led by Senator Capito from West Virginia, voted against the new energy tax.
Like all energy taxes, this one will fall hardest on the poor, the elderly, those on fixed incomes, and local institutions that have limited budgets, like schools and hospitals.
The legislation sponsors, which include Senator Cramer, have tried to disguise the actual intention of the legislation — which is to increase the price of energy and everything grown, made, or transported with energy in an attempt to address global warming — with propaganda about being tough on our trade competitors, including China.
Taxes, Taxes and More Taxes
Simply it took a horde of locust-like tax collectors to fund the Roman Empire military machine, the massive Imperial bureaucracy and pay for the opulent lifestyle of the Emperor and his large family.
So some "barbarian horde" crosses over the Rhine, the Danube or the deserts of Arabia to set up shop. Sure the Emperor's army is gone, but once the initial looting and raping is over the locals notice that the Emperor's tax collectors are also gone.
Suddenly it looks like there is an upside to no longer being a citizen of Rome.
Professor Joseph Peden's great lecture on Taxes, Inflation and the Fall of the Roman Empire given at the Seminar on Money and Government in Houston, Texas, on October 27, 1984.
“Hungary extends its family friendly policies: from Jan, women who become mothers before turning 30 will be exempt from paying personal income tax!” wrote Balázs Orbán, a member of the Hungarian parliament and President Viktor Orbán’s administration, wrote in a tweet.
Hungary has previously announced additional pro-family policies, including one that will exempt mothers who have at least four children from paying income tax for the rest of their lives.
Working adults will also be exempt until the age of 25 in an effort to give them a hand in saving for starting their own families.
“According to the government’s calculations, tens of thousands of young mothers with an income could avail themselves of the possibility of tax exemption,” Hungary’s Secretary of State for Family Policy, Ágnes Hornung, told Breitbart News. “They are eligible not only for the new income tax exemption, but equally for all other forms of family support, including the family tax allowance, the baby expecting support [loan], and the childcare fee,” she added.

(Zerohedge) If there is anyone still confused why ESG, and the entire "green" movement is one giant, boiling cauldron of lies, hypocrisy and fraud, read on.
Last summer, we reported that the European Commission - that murder of career bureaucrats - has proposed exempting private jets, the one most polluting form of transportation, from the planned EU jet fuel tax. A draft indicated that the tax would be phased-in for passenger flights, including ones that carry cargo.
Private jets will enjoy an exemption through classification of "business aviation" as the use of aircraft by firms for carriage of passengers or goods as an "aid to the conduct of their business", if generally considered not for public hire.
It gets better: a further exemption is given for "pleasure" flights whereby an aircraft is used for "personal or recreational" purposes not associated with a business or professional use.
Of course, since it is mostly billionaires and the ultra wealthy that fly private, and these same billionaires and ultra wealthy tend to be exempt from regulations (which are usually written by politicians that the ultra rich have previously bribed or bought) that apply to the rest of the peasantry, this was hardly a huge surprise.
Which is why we doubt that the latest news showing just how pervasive the "green" hypocrisy is, will also come as a surprise.
According to a new report from Transport & Environment (T&E) titled "Climate Impacts of Exemptions to EU’s Shipping Proposals:
Arbitrary exemptions undermine integrity of shipping laws" , more than half of Europe’s ships would be exempt from the European Commission’s carbon pricing plan for the sector. Among them: highly polluting if extremely desirable - for the Monte Carlo set - yachts.
According to the report, in July 2021, the European Commission published a set of proposals to decarbonize the maritime sector. However, what quietly not mentioned, is that the proposed carbon pricing scheme (ETS) and the low GHG fuel standard (FuelEU Maritime) will only apply to ships above 5,000 GT and exclude a number of ship types such as offshore vessels, fishing vessels and.... yachts.
“I love New York, but I live in Houston now,” 50 Cent said on Tuesday in Twitter and Instagram posts. “I'll explain later.”
The rapper has apparently followed through after teasing in March that he was “headed to Texas.” 50 Cent made that statement when Governor Greg Abbott announced that he was halting the state's mask mandate and all remaining Covid-19 restrictions, declaring that “all businesses and families in Texas have the freedom to determine their own destiny.”
50 Cent has run afoul of social-distancing restrictions. During Super Bowl weekend in February, he reportedly hosted a massive party, sans masks, at an aircraft hangar in St. Petersburg, Florida – in violation of city guidelines. St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman threatened hefty fines, saying “it may end up costing someone a lot more than 50 cent.”
The move to Texas was also no doubt encouraged by the fact that the state has no income tax. New York City's top earners now face a combined tax rate of nearly 52% of their earnings, including 10.9% to the state, after Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law an increase in April.
The entertainer said last October that he would vote to re-elect President Donald Trump because Democrat nominee Joe Biden's fiscal policies would push his income taxes to a combined 62% of earnings. “I don't care [if] Trump doesn't like black people,” 50 Cent said. “62% – are you out of ya f***ing mind?”
His Trump endorsement triggered an avalanche of criticism from left-wing observers, including journalist David Leavitt, who called him “a selfish piece of s**t.” Comedian Chelsea Hander told 50 Cent that, as a black person, he “can't vote for Donald Trump.”

With the Metropolitan Transportation Authority facing a budget crisis, New Yorkers may have to dig into their pockets to help out.
Under a new proposed bill, New York City residents would be required to pay a $3 surcharge on packages they ordered online, with the exception for medicine and food.
Assemblyman Robert Carroll, who proposed the bill, says the online shopping fee would raise more than $1 billion a year “to fund the operating costs of buses and subways in the city of New York.”
