Tarbell condemns "retarded" leadership

Dear fellow tax hikers, County Commission candidate Jim Tarbell has taken the gloves off and we love it!  At a recent candidate forum Tarbell launched off against the County Commissioners by condemning their "slow, retarded leadership".  You can hear it for yourself at 24:09.



We not only agree with Tarbell's sentiment, we applaud him for defiantly standing up to those who have been trying to ban the "R-word" from polite society.  We stand with Tarbell.

The County Commissioners are retarded.  Their willingness to raise taxes by only $170 million is retarded.  Their refusal to raise taxes for Music Hall is retarded.  And anyone who votes for one of them is retarded.

We are lucky to have such a thoughtful candidate like Tarbell in this race.  Don't be a retard - vote Tarbell (or Feeney) for County Commissioner.

Micah Kamrass, Jerry Springer; and a woman has a child with her grandson

Meet the Kamrass Team, Volume 2

Dear fellow tax hikers, one of many impressive accomplishments of Micah Kamrass is the strong support he has received from television legend Jerry Springer.  Springer is best known for his thoughtful talk show program, which explored topics such as:

- a transvestite who is happy he/she cut off his/her legs;
- I'm pregnant by my brother;
- a "breeder" for the KKK;
- Mom, will you marry me?;
- this gem of an episode that shows what a truly great person Springer is.  Only a high-quality person would have aired this.

And let's not forget the Frenchman who legally changed his name to Mr. Ooh la la, and then went on Jerry to brag about sleeping with his girlfriend's best friend.  That episode means something to us, because when we look at young, cute Micah, "ooh la la" is the first thought that comes to mind.

Kamrass must have been excited to receive the support and large check from Mr. Springer.  Click on the pic below to see the entry from the public campaign finance report:

This kind of support excites us.  Micah Kamrass is a high-quality candidate just like Jerry Springer is a high-quality person and entertainer.  We can only hope Kamrass will contribute to Ohio's future as well as Springer has contributed to America's. 

Blue Ash's $33,000 Sister City Bonanza

Dear fellow tax hikers, we have more great news about Blue Ash's legendary Sister City program.  Earlier this year we broke the story that the City of Blue Ash is spending approximately $24,000/year to send Councilmen and their friends on taxpayer-funded junkets to Germany. 

We just discovered that Blue Ash taxpayers also subsidize the German delegation's visit to Blue Ash!  Read this Enquirer excerpt:

The 16 Ilmenau residents visited Blue Ash from Sept. 27 to Oct. 4. This is the 12th year of the Blue Ash and Ilmenau’s partnership. The city of Blue Ash covers the cost of lodging, food and local transportation for the Ilmenau visitors. The city spent about $33,000 on the visit, public relations coordinator Emily Shaffer said in an email.

We can see why former Blue Ash Councilman Walt Reuszer calls this program a "success".  We estimate Wheezer Reuszer's age to be 90 - in other words, the average Rick Bryan supporter. 

It gets even better.  Make sure you read this important paragraph from Blue Ash's 9/27/14 letter to the German delegation:

That's right, in addition to everything else, Blue Ash taxpayers are also paying for the alcohol consumption of their German visitors!  We wonder how many German alcoholics were on this trip. 

There is no question that this is a very successful program.  However, our enemy Jonathan Dever suggested in April that he would not spend taxpayer funds this way, and for that he must be punished.  We call on Tax Hikin' Rick Bryan, Jack Buckman, Walt Reuszer, and others to send a message to Dever that tax dollars deserve to be spent providing hotels, food, transportation, AND FREE ALCOHOL to Sister City German visitors. 

Vote YES for free alcohol and Council's taxpayer-funded vacations, and NO on Jonathan Dever. 

Stan Chesley backs Micah Kamrass

Meet The Kamrass Team, Volume 1
 

Dear fellow tax hikers, the Micah Kamrass campaign continues its impressive momentum as it picks up the support of highly ethical disbarred attorney Stan Chesley.  We should all be proud that Kamrass has accepted a large campaign contribution from the disgraced Chesley:

Chesley may be without law, but that doesn't mean he should be without influence in Ohio's government.  Chesley sees young Micah as a friend and mentee who can help him maintain his rightful influence over our government.

We do not believe that Kamrass should return this contribution.  Just because Chesley has been disbarred, just because he owes $25 million to the victims of his fen-phen scheme, just because Chesley has (allegedly) stiffed the law firm that represented him, doesn't mean that Micah should feel bad about keeping this money.  He's got a race to win!  The victims can get their damn money later. 

Chesley also sees some of himself in Kamrass.  Kamrass will be a fine lawyer himself - once he actually passes the Bar.  Kamrass knows he can always look up to his friend and mentor Chesley for advice.  But for now, they are joined together to ensure the 28th District elects a young man to the Statehouse who supports The Obama Agenda. 

By teaming up with Stan Chesley, Micah Kamrass can uphold his promise to always represent us with the highest standards of integrity and ethics - just like Chesley.

Micah Kamrass - Obama's biggest fan

Dear fellow tax hikers, our endorsed candidate Micah Kamrass is getting an early start in his bid to be a 25 year-old State Representative.  Underscoring the importance of this race, Team Kamrass has already started running tv ads highlighting his support for Barack Obama, Reverend Al Sharpton, and Voting Rights Hero Melowese Richardson.

See his spot for yourself:



Please circulate this ad to all your friends and colleagues.  We don't get to vote for Barack Obama this year.  But we can do the next best thing by supporting liberal Micah Kamrass.  Yes We Can!!

Blue Ash honors Sister City Comrades

Dear fellow tax hikers, Blue Ash's Sister City compatriots from Ilmenau, Germany are visiting us next week and we have all been invited to meet them!  On Monday September 29th at 6:00 PM Blue Ash is hosting a public cookout to meet our German guests, and their Councilmen have personally asked us to help drive turnout. 

The Blue Ash Sister City Program is extremely important to us.  Our exclusive report on the $120,000 Blue Ash spent in just 5 years to send Blue Ash Councilmen and their friends on taxpayer-funded junkets to Germany brought lots of new readers to this site.  And, we believe it's a fantastic program and great use of taxpayer funds.

We are greatly looking forward to this cookout.  We just wish it was being held in the $75 million park.

Two Republicans support Kamrass

Dear fellow tax hikers, through exhaustive media efforts it has been discovered that 2 Republicans (out of 110,000 district residents) are supporting liberal Democrat Micah Kamrass for State Representative.

When Royal Doyle Webster and Walt Reuszer speak, you people need to shut up and listen.  200 years of experience would be a terrible thing to waste. 

Now you can put this number at 3.  We at Republicans for Higher Taxes proudly endorse Micah Kamrass too!  We know that Micah is the only candidate left in the race who will work across the aisle to implement The Obama Agenda and provide us the higher taxes we deserve. 

And beyond that, we are PISSED OFF that Jonathan Dever defeated our preferred candidate in the Republican Primary and we refuse to get over it.  If OUR Republican can't win this seat, then no Republican will.  It's time to teach Republican voters a lesson - you work for our preferred elected officials, they don't work for you.

We must never let this injustice happen again.  Nobody should ever be allowed to question a decision made by a Blue Ash Councilman.  If they want to spend $75 million on a park and take taxpayer-funded junkets to Germany every two years, they must be allowed to without question.  Any criticism of their public record is a vicious personal attack and should not be allowed to stand.

Most of all, nobody has the right to run for office against a Blue Ash Councilman and defeat him.  Learn your lesson.  If we have to keep electing Democrats to protect Blue Ash Councilmen from being challenged, then that's what we'll do.  Avenge Rick Bryan - support Micah Kamrass for State Representative!

Wyoming considers income tax hike

Dear fellow tax hikers, we stand with Wyoming city leaders as they seek to raise the income tax by 25% on their citizens and workers.  This money is needed for some very important programs, whatever they are.  Since the current rate is too low, citizens deserve the privilege of giving more of their income to the government. 

If taxes are not raised the city says they may have to cut some police officers.  That prospect should appeal to School Board Party Mom Lynn Larson, who apparently wants her city's police to focus their efforts on black people and leave the "good white kids" alone. 

Even worse, without higher taxes how could Wyoming afford to give away $800,000 of taxpayer money to the next restaurant they want to bring to town?  If they can't afford their own Mahogany's-style deals, then the only restaurants that would land in Wyoming are the ones who want to be there. 

Racial issues notwithstanding, we believe this tax hike is necessary for the good of the city.  Wyoming residents and workers are undertaxed and must be allowed to give more to their government.  After all, Mahogany's is looking to move and Wyoming Council might need that money to get them there. 

No bailout for Mahogany's

Dear fellow tax hikers, it is a sad day in Cincinnati now that Mahogany's At The Banks has served its last meal.  We agree with Councilman Wendell Young that the City hasn't done enough to support them - after all, nothing says "I hate you" like providing a $684,000 grant and $300,000 loan with taxpayer dollars. 

Due to this mistreatment, we are appalled that the City of Cincinnati will not be granting Mahogany's a bailout.  Even worse, the City Manager says that Cincinnati is getting out of the restaurant business.  Taxpayers have provided them with only $984,000.  How can a restaurant be expected to survive with such a pittance of taxpayer assistance? 

Mahogany's and their fabulous owner Liz Rogers has been a victim from the beginning.  Nothing that has happened is her fault. 

We need you, our loyal readers, to tell us who is to blame for the failure of Mahogany's.  List everyone who is at fault for their collapse - as long as you know you can't blame Liz Rogers or her supporters on Council.

Is Northwest Schools racist?

Dear fellow tax hikers, the parents of four black students are suing the Northwest Local School District and Colerain Township Police Officers, claiming that their kids were expelled for being black.  They claim that white kids who engaged in the same behavior as theirs weren't expelled while their kids were.

Since we love tax hikers of all races, we decided to get to the bottom of these ugly allegations.  

Through our top-notch research we have uncovered a key document - recently updated by English PhD Pam Detzel - that backs the allegations of these parents:

This form proves that the Northwest Schools are predisposed to hate black people!  These were good kids who deserved better.  The only reason they were expelled is because they are black. 

Brother and sister arrested for incest

Dear fellow tax hikers, we are appalled to learn that a loving brother and sister have been charged with incest, aggravated sodomy, and prowling for having sex together in a church parking lot.

The incest charge represents discrimination at its worst.  Who is the government to tell someone that two men or two women can't be married two siblings can't have sex if that's what makes them happy.  Government should not be legislating morality. 

These incestors should be able to get married inside a church instead of relegated to having sex outside it.

This sad story renews our call for Real Marriage Equality.  Not only should one man and one woman, or two homosexuals, be allowed to get married, but so should polygamists, bigamists, bisexuals, groups, and incestors.  Any two or more adults should be able to marry each other.  And anyone who disagrees with us is a bigot.
