Obama 442 New Taxes – Facebook Vs Gun owners
Since taking office in 2009, President Barack Obama has formally proposed a total of 442 tax increases, according to an Americans for Tax Reform analysis of Obama administration budgets for fiscal years 2010 through 2015.
The 442 total proposed tax increases does not include the 20 tax increases Obama signed into law as part of Obamacare.
“History tells us what Obama was able to do. This list reminds us of what Obama wanted to do,” said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform.
The number of proposed tax increases per year is as follows:
-79 tax increases for FY 2010
-52 tax increases for FY 2011
-47 tax increases for FY 2012
-34 tax increases for FY 2013
-137 tax increases for FY 2014
-93 tax increases for FY 2015
Perhaps not coincidentally, the Obama budget with the lowest number of proposed tax increases was released during an election year: In February 2012, Obama released his FY 2013 budget, with “only” 34 proposed tax increases. Once safely re-elected, Obama came back with a vengeance, proposing 137 tax increases, a personal record high for the 44th President

Facebook Vs Gun Owners
Facebook is cracking down on gun-related posts.
The social media giant is blocking minors from seeing postings of gun sales and will take down sales that don’t require a background check or cross state lines.
The change is a win for groups like Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and Mayors Against Illegal Guns, which have been lobbying for more restrictive gun policies at businesses including Starbucks, Staples and Facebook.
“On the same site that people are sharing birthday parties and family reunions, there are photos of AK-47s,” says John Feinblatt, chairman of Mayors Against Illegal Guns. “This is not in the bowels of Facebook. This is upfront, center and easy to access.”

Syrians Threaten Canada
The most extreme armed faction in Syria has threatened to “destroy” Canada, as Western governments are struggling to deal with radicalized citizens infatuated with Al-Qaeda ideology.
Speaking in flawless English, a member of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant said in an online video that after fighting in the Middle East, the group would turn on North America.
“This is a message to Canada and all the American tyrants: We are coming and we will destroy you, with permission from Allah the almighty,” the unidentified foreign fighter said.
