For those who think we do not pay enough taxes... For the 49 Senators (46 Democrat and *2 Republican Chafee, Snowe) who voted against the Bush tax cut, as well as the myriad of Congressmen who whittled it from pitifully low down to ineffective, and also for every liberal pro-spending individual who thinks that our current tax burden is not enough, the Snipet Corporation will be setting up a fund so that voluntary contributions can be made to the government. Administration of the fund by the budding Snipet Corporation will guarantee that **98% of the proceeds will be given directly to the Federal, State and/or Local governments for the additional revenues that they are so desperately needed. The Snipet Corporation would like to provide an opportunity for every one out there who feel that tax cuts are a detriment and who would like to contribute to the dwindling coffers of the government. The Snipet Corporation will make sure that your money goes directly to funds already existing programs within the government such as: -Research on Africanized killer bees in Texas (they only received $500,000, but need more to finish the study) -Building of the Vulcan statue in Alabama (its already built, and the received $1,500,000 to do it, but somehow they ended up in the red and need more funds) -Research to reduce swine manure odor in Iowa ($500,000 so far) -A tattoo removal program in San Luis Obispo County, California ($50,000) -An effort to combat goth culture in Blue Springs, Missouri ($270,000) These are just a few, and we haven't begun to mention those submitted and approved for Sen. Robert Byrd and the wonderful state of Left Virginia. Your funds are needed and greatly appreciated. CONTRIBUTE TODAY! *actually there were 3 Republicans who voted against the bill. The third was John McCain. His reason he said was that there was too much pork (wasteful spending) attached to the bill. **2% will be withheld for administration costs of the fund this is a MUCH lower percentage than organizations like the United Way and the Internal Revenue Service operate. LETS NOT CRITICIZE When our fiscally responsible Congress was unfairly criticized for its funding of approximately $15 billion of needful projects, House Appropriations Committee Chairman C. W. Young (R-FL) was quick to point out that "The power of the purse resides solely with Congress. Unless the Constitution is amended, Congress will continue to exercise its discretion over federal funds for purposes we deem appropriate."
