Is the San Diego County Taxpayers Association Roasting Scott Peters?

I thought this was an early April Fool’s Joke today until I read the invitation. Scott Peters is a disaster for San Diego County taxpayers so I naturally thought the Taxpayers “Association” was going to goof on him this month. Alas, this is just another crony capitalist event for which the SDCTA is becoming famous.

This whole “breakfast forum” SDCTA is sponsoring is how best to get taxpayers funds for private businesses. Let me state that differently. The goal of the breakfast forum is to question Congressman Peters about how to get the money, which San Diego County taxpayers pay to the federal government, into the pockets of privately-owned corporations. Most privately-owned corporations get capital from banks, Wall Street, owner’s savings accounts, or loans from family members but these “attendees” are going to learn how to get their neighbors’ money for their business.

To call Peters a “tax and spend liberal” would be unfair. Scott Peters is a corporatist, the word Benito Mussolini preferred to “fascist”. Look at Peters’  voting record. Every special interest lobby rates him higher than 50% while every pro-taxpayer, pro liberty group rates him below 50%.

Maybe SDCTA will give Peters an award– the looters award.

There are three ways people get money:

1- The inheritance model— you have rich relatives, they die and leave it to you.
2- The production model— you find a need in society, fill that need by providing a product or service, earn a profit
3- The Mafia model-– you hire men with guns, to shake down the people who don’t have guns, to take their money and give it to you

Which model do you think this “breakfast forum” follows? Just because the gangsters are wearing Brooks Brothers suits doesn’t mean they aren’t acting like mobsters. Scott Peters is perfect for to teach them the shake-down game.

I guess SDCTA found a different mission.
