Hickenlooper says Employees stay home, again

It is a never ending story of literally we have to hurt the little guy in order to keep the government working. Well that's the liberal view any ways.

Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper is not to happy about how people are spending their money. As a matter of fact he wants to join the line of hand outs being looked at by our ever wise and bountiful tax payer supported stimulus funds.

Now that reports on the city income are coming in lower then projected, expected and wished for. The ever wise and diligent spend first ask later Mayor warns city employers that they may have to take a couple more days off from work at no pay.

While the liberal heavy city council is looking into proposed higher tax hikes (ways to steal and mismanage tax money). Mayor Hickenlooper instead of looking out for those who he is supposed to be taking care of. Is looking at the 53 million dollar shortfall in the budget.

HMMMM, a 53million dollar short fall? Was not the DNC convention supposed to bring money into town? Did not the federal government give Denver 50 plus million dollars for this as well. Just a financial coincidence?Where did this short fall come from. Could the Mayor and the City Council once again be spending money that they do not have? Well that does seem to be the trend for elected officials nation wide these days. Spend first , worry about where the money comes from later.

So in order to keep funds flowing to more liberal progressive programs for socialist activists. Mayor Hickenlooper wants the city employees to make up the funds by donating their paychecks to the cause. That's what he is asking when he denies them work.

Isn't this sort of an oxymoron of sorts. Don't work to pay for our short fall?

Anyways, I find it interesting how the Mayor wants to deny employees their right to earn a living, support their families, and improve their lives. All to help him balance his budget of mismanaged fiscal irresponsibility.

So why not try something that is proven to work. When you raise taxes an immediate increase in funds is evident. Yet in the long run or actually in no time at all you see a decrease in funds. Why, because people when faced with a higher sales tax go elsewhere to shop. Or when faced with higher taxes they hoard their money and do not spend it, but save it for a rainy day. SO why not lower taxes, see people spend money and the city coffers increase in funds. Does not this make better sense?
