When will Americans stand up and finally say ENOUGH.
One of the esteemed Democratic leaders. Pelosi is really a piece of work.
This is from a letter my wife received from a friend.
Windfall Tax on Retirement Income
Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people, you're so darn stupid that we're going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you. That's what the Speaker of the House is saying. Read below...............
Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. In other words tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is a nut case! You aren't going to believe this.
Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall l Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds! Alas , it is true - all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities!
This woman is frightening.
She quotes...' We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn't Marx say something like this), in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.' (I am not rich, are you?)
When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:
'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 profit taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'. (Read that quote again and again and let it sink in. 'Lower your retirement, give it to others who have not worked as you have for it'.
Send it on to your friends. I just did!! This lady is out of her mind and she is the speaker of the house!
Anyone care for this idea?
I have received this via email. Check in on Snopes.com, and you will see that it is not true.
FactCheck.org: Did Pelosi advocate taxing "windfall" stock profits at 100%? (http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/did_pelosi_advocate_taxing_windfall_stock_profits. html - broken link)
Nancy Pelosi is not a good person to have in the senate, this is not because she is a democrat, but because she, like so many Senators has become convinced she is above questioning of her ethics or lack there of. California surely has someone better to represent them?
Senator?? You are kidding aren't you? Jesus Christ! You must know she's Speaker of the House, and the counterpart to Harry Reid. Disregarding this faux paux, Pelosi is a true danger to the Country. She is a moron with power.

Obviously, her constituents disagree with you.
