Monday's Mixed Madness

 The mayor of New York, Eric Adams and his accomplice, race whore Al Sharpton, want the United States to do something about gang violence in Haiti. Obviously, these two clowns are not aware that the Biden administration is unwilling to do anything about gang violence in their own neighborhood in Washington, DC. Clean up your own backyard first, guys!!

A court has decided that the New York City property tax system is illegal and is allowing a lawsuit to proceed against the city. Will city officials be required to post a half billion-dollar bond in this case?

Let's talk about taxes. The nearby city of Greensboro wants to pass a prepared food tax to help fund the Greensboro Coliseum. Readers are directed to my post a few weeks ago titled, "Dear Greensboro, Your Coliseum Sucks." No amount of money will cure stupidity. I offer the U.S. Government as my exhibit on this claim.

In Virginia, they have a prepared foods tax on restaurant meals. This ranges in different local jurisdictions from 4.0% to 7.0%. This is on top of the 7% state sales tax. This means that on your $10 Big Mac combo meal the government makes between $1.10 and $1.40. The average restaurant's profit margin is around 10%. So, the government makes more than the business on the deal. While Biden blames "greedy businesses" for high prices, the reality is a different story. 

Back in Greensboro, the mayor wants a prepared food tax to improve the Coliseum. Rather than increase the tax burden on citizens, why not sell the Coliseum to a private company and get the city out of the Coliseum business? If it is as great an enterprise as they claim, it should not be hard to sell. 

Of course, this is not the case. The Coliseum has never actually been profitable. Like most entertainment centers and sports stadiums, we are told by the government that these are "quality of life" items to bring people to their city. What happens is that a lot of taxpayers end up paying for a place where they cannot afford to go. And in cases like the Greensboro Gun Show, the Coliseum bought out the Gun Show so that the City Council could prevent the citizens from buying firearms at the Gun Show. The purchase of the Greensboro Gun Show has not resulted in any reduction in Greensboro gun crimes. The only tangible result of this was that Coliseum Director Matt Brown, poured about $400,000 down the shitter. This was a political move by Director Brown to placate his City Council bosses who are pussies or Communists or both.  All of this story is in a post I wrote in May of 2022 titled "Killing the Greensboro Gun Show". So, in real life there are almost zero tangible benefits from the City of Greensboro operating the Coliseum. Most businesses spend money to make money. The City of Greensboro spends money to lose money. 

Of course, the real mission of the Greensboro Coliseum may be the same as that of the ancient Coliseum in Rome. It served as an entertainment venue to detract the citizenry from noticing the collapse of the Roman Empire around them. Readers are left to make their own judgements. 

Here's my final words on the Greensboro Coliseum. "That which deserves to live, does."

If you want to argue whether or not Democrats think that voters are stupid, this note. They have sent Kameltoe Harris out to convince voters to vote for her and Creepy Joe. Good luck on that!!

For April Fool's Day, will Karine Jean-Pierre actually tell the truth about something anything?

If you have been wanting to catch a live version of this blog, I will be at the Moultrie Swap Meet in Moultrie, Georgia from April 4-6. It's at Spence Field. I am near the big John Deere sign. Say "Biden Sucks" for a free gift!
