Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be giving away when we all live together
you would think, at least I would, that a taxpayer organization would help fight taxes....streamline the tax code, reduce taxes for small businesses and those making under 3 dollars a year and stop all taxes on capital gains...but our local tax groups are simply shills for big business
shills |
I've gone over the Santa Barbara County Taxpayer Association..these dudes are in the pocket of the Chumash and the oil companies and get free space for their propaganda from Wendy's News-Press...I mean they still got Joe Amendariz writing opinions on Sunday.....and pothead Lanny Ebenstein was or is involved in the SBCTA..which BTW is a "nonprofit"..(hehehe) well, someone is paying those guys to drive around in Mercedes!!
all I ask of the SBCTA is to lower my taxes and don't drink and drive on streets that my tax dollars support....is that too much to axe??
so now there's another tax outfit, the Central Coast Taxpayers Association out of Templeton...Templton and Fresno are two cities mistakenly put in California and actually they belong in Texas or Arizona, in the most backward conservative districts...
http://www.centralcoasttaxfighters.org/
but anyway, this is another nonprofit that hasn't done one thing to lower my taxes and now they are advocating for the oil companies who don't frack now but obviously want to in the future...the only thing standing in the way is Measure P, the anti-fracking initiative...
the oil folks want to go a little deeper and break up more earth to get to the oil..these are land-based operations and the mineral rights will pay off to the landowners...
a similar relationship happened with Greka Oil and Brooks Firestone when he was on the Board of Supervisors..ol' Brooksie was knee deep in oil spills on his property and tried to keep the regulators away while simultaneously having the County Fire crews clean up his mess at taxpayer expense...Greka as we know spilled lots of oil and the Taxpayers Ass and Brooks and Cowboy Willie tried to cover it all up....Greka even hired a member of the Taxpayer Ass to be their spokesman, Mike Stoker...Mike blamed a phantom saboteur and a political opponent for the oil leaks!! hahahah!
I have no issue with oil..I use it or a synthetic anyway...if a company wants to drill, I say let them drill if they have shown they can do it responsibly...Greka Oil was a joke and would not be allowed to operate in Carpinteria no matter who they leased land from...
awesome Carpinteria flower power! |
but up north, the oil companies are in a frenzy over Measure P because of lost future money and profits...
but I have a suggestion...take all those rigs and set them up on the Chumash property..up at the casino....drill and frack all you want and create more and more jobs....the casino is seeking to expand and is gonna need all the extra oil for their buses..you know those big buses they use to ferry around employees and gamblers.....
oil and gambling...a much better mix than oil and water
