Whoa Nellie! Stop the presses! Call Drudge! Call Breitbart!

Everybody stay cool, cool like Luke.

What we have here is a failure (not) to communicate.

And by failure not to communicate, I mean everybody hush; hide everything. Remember how we did this last time?

Don't make any references to Indonesia or Kenya. Got it? Now about Auntie Zeituni, that could be an old  Cherokee family name, right?  She has high cheek bones. And Uncle Omar. Onyango, doesn't that sound Irish?  Think Hawaii people, the beautiful islands of Hawaii. Aloha.

And while we are battening down the hatches, check and make sure those grades don't jump out and scare somebody. And finally, don't forget to call the Reverend and make sure he is feeling appreciated. You know how he gets.

Got it.  Boss, if you need us for anything else we'll be over here shakin' the bushes.

Sen. Schumer Has It Bass Ackwards!

Senators to Unveil the ‘Ex-Patriot Act’ to Respond to Facebook’s Saverin’s Tax ‘Scheme’ - ABC News

A place where people are prevented from leaving of their own free will is generally referred to as a prison, or a dictatorship. The complete lack of understanding and appreciate for the freedoms our Founders created for us is what separates the democrats from the republicans. Don't fence me in!

So, the senate democrats are all upset because one very wealthy young man has decided to move to Singapore and give up his U.S. citizenship to save a gazillion dollars in taxes. The democrats led by Sen. Schumer propose to tax citizens who choose to abandon their citizenship and leave this great land. Just 30% of your worth, no big deal.

This a perfect example of how far democrats have wandered from the values of our founders. As a matter of fact, they have it exactly bass ackwards. 

Here is a more fair and equitable idea to consider for raising new revenues. First, charge a substantially large fee to anyone wishing to immigrate into the US. We have enough citizens. Call it an entry fee. That law could be called the Entry Fee Act.

Then impose a fine on those who are here illegally. Generally, we impose fines on persons who break rules, regulations and laws, not those abiding by the rules of society. We can call it the Non-Citizen Fee Act.

The United States has always been the place that people from all over the world have risked their lives and fortunes to enter. Let's keep it that way.
