" And now all this time. -- Howie -- show. Fox News this is the I meant the most powerful limited baby it don't you forget that movie and how how I love yourself."

" I said you've been at the time of the debate and so was that when you put 30000 American troops of course is going to happen and there's no doubt about that John McCain is flip flopped on more issues than you know I was even ever accused possibly thinking about I am not persuaded. That. 40000. Additional troops in Iraq. Is going to solve the sectarian violence there is that looked -- is that a flip."

" the most expensive car on how -- as we speak and cars Limbaugh Carmel thing. The ice caps in the -- it is true."

" Senator Obama has been dead wrong when it comes to the policy of Iraqi oppose the surge. And he is now on a situation where is trying to to deny surged with successful."

" Now how Lawrence. Coach you'd try to think like corned beef out of my cold dead fingers that's what I got to say in my brisket of my pastrami to Obama powered card W arterial radio network. 18774694322187746. Months."

" Worth three to two has the toll free number of the Howie Carr show. That we leave the year tonight a little bit early on -- Cape Cod in -- WRKO. In Boston for the very exciting Red Sox pregame show if you're in eastern and central Massachusetts. Police continue listening go to WC RM EM 830 we will be on the year on the AMA 30 until 7 o'clock tonight so you can continue to listen to the show. Right up until the the 7 o'clock tonight. We're. We've been treated. Well forever but. In recent weeks the the pitch. The the number of stories in both local newspapers. About. State rip offs just just all sorts of of underhanded activities whether it involves pensions. Fake pensions. Building up huge debts that are being rolled over increasing toll -- suppose is supposedly increasing. Gas tax that's also on the front burner. Giving them. Handouts they call -- tax breaks handouts to movie companies it just. The the steel. Of mysteries it's malfeasance. In non fees -- state government just continues. To grow it's totally out of control. And you know and other people who say they're trying to get a handle on it does state treasurer Tim Kay hill. You know he says he's going to be for into the taxpayers. How that helps him in a democratic primary I don't understand that should be the kiss of death -- planning on becoming a Republican I don't know we appreciate his efforts but I don't think it's -- was -- accomplish anything the the Republicans in the senator trying to abolish the turnpike authority there's. That's a good idea to I suppose but that there's only five album and a forty member body. This indeed there's just not much can be done and and I think it's time if you're an individual. And you are killing yourself. By abusing a substance whether it's drugs or alcohol. Be. Anything. At some point eventually your for an -- At some point your friends and family intervened there's that that's what's called the intervention process. In there's only one way to break a person. There. -- there -- do you know anything about. Their disease as it work. And that is to go cold Turkey into force them. To just stop doing whatever it is that's killing them. This this spending binge is killing the state of Massachusetts. And there is an intervention on the horizon. It will be with all of block on wood it will be on I believe November the fourth which would be Election Day. There is a question on the ballot question one to end the state income tax joining us now is the architect of question one Carla Howell. Carla this is the the news you couldn't ask for any better news for your campaign it you -- ask for worst news for as a taxpayer but you -- pretty better news is the manager of this campaign could you."

" Well that's true and it's not like this waste in government. Do a lot of its been around for a long time it's finally getting public -- he this year. And that's a good thing because we need to ethnic attacks and that the fourth and vote yes on one."

" But but but what about a children Carla it's twelve billion dollars. Out of a state budget of 28 billion dollars how. How will we pay the the same sign painters at the masked pipe corps Brothers in the loft convicted criminals who used around the legislature."

" We're making a 100000 dollars a year. Yeah well first of all let's talk about that number of this state government budget we got back from the billion dollars in actual now that the state government and include all what they call nine budget these to call off but it medical on budget and it's a huge sum of money I think about twelve point five billion dollars being used out of 43 but billion dollar package now."

" About government waste we get asked the question how many pennies on every dollar is that government -- Wendy's and our tax dollars a survey that was released by essentially attacks it -- 41. 41 cents out of every dollar and other state -- grace commission beckoning ED. And thirty buried for that went line item I -- it's up 33%. And back then was wait and it got worse and."

" We got the we get the new turnpike -- yesterday that Harold and I went back and we got it we have an earlier payroll two years ago from the Romney administration. And they. And I would back and I looked at the increases in pay like for instance Steve Jake's brother of a former senator Cheryl Jakes rhymes with fakes. He's gone from 980000 to 96000. All and by the way his sister who wasn't on the payroll two years ago she is now on the payroll in the industrial accidents board. 408000. Dollars. I mean the and you could you -- I can go I can go one for the -- telling you about families like that's."

" I'll bet you planned it and it went indeed an Italian and I think it's just great with the and publicizing these numbers we've been saying it was the tax money. If you try to get this. -- probably now out of state government -- they box. On excuses we couldn't get debated all out last. We -- and it's and now people like the girl and it's tickets and import data out there for people see this as."

" And it's easier to put it up on web sites you can't securely print this and newspaper just -- just unwieldy but you can't put on a website."

" Eight three newspapers -- seasons but this herald that they'll all eight and Valerie."

" Right and by the way tomorrow YE a -- commitment and a shameless plug for my newspaper. We will we will have a story about the gross pay at the Massachusetts bay transportation authority. Standby. To blow a gasket when you read those numbers."

" That -- that's going to be an interesting read I look forward to it."

" So what is the story now I begin to see spotted on speaking of the Internet I've spotted some ads popping up on the Internet vote -- on one you know that kind of thing. They they they have practiced the the pinkie ring unions. Practically have unlimited funds that was to try to defeat question one --"

" We. -- opportunity. And -- or at our web site for question. -- that on. Or getting -- out whatever. It's but it. Ain't got the money they've got the big guns tanks. We that are grass. And you're out there is it helped record I know your neighbors your friends co workers and members. That credible opportunities. Amber's parents being on here at. Oh. And me. In the process. Dealing with our money and think. It's and it's having real job."

" 18774694322. If you want to -- to Carlisle about her campaign to end the state income tax free forget this going. Hat in hand. The people in the legislature who put on their Brothers in law on the Mass Turnpike payroll 400000 dollars plus a year at the paint signs. Forget it forget that I mean we got we've just got -- just cut these hacks off at the knees. And just make sure that they stop picking pockets. Which is in the army is -- the I was just a reading about the the the parole board letting them murderers ago. But so that they can -- again but these these are some of these these are some of the stories in the globe this is with the story in the globe today about these enhanced pensions. Michael Lois. The former a big big manager age 46 -- they said they quote unquote fired them. So he has because he's been quote unquote fired he begins collecting at age 46650000. Dollar. The annual pension. Then he immediately goes down to Rhode Island that becomes the transportation secretary -- begins earning a 130000. Dollars. On top of his 72578. Dollar annual Massachusetts pension. Then you have congressman bill Delahunt who who engineered a deal so that the district attorneys in Massachusetts would be considered cops. For the purposes of getting higher and higher pension he makes a 169000. Dollars as a US congressman. And he also collects a each state pension. A 57000. Dollars. I can go want to Bob let's take some phone calls mark your next with Howie Carr and Carla Howell. From the the campaign to end the state income tax go -- mark."

" I I Carla the question I had it is we passed things before like the actual back. And the guys the folks up on Beacon Hill to say you know what we know how to spend your money better we know how to you'd think. And and and that and the voters get overrule what kind of language what. How rock solid is this if it passes that it will actually don't know."

" The question is their politicians to -- doing pro act. Which they would have to do because the city find. And as an answer Terry's married that people need to understand they finding. A lot goes into effect. And majority -- before that it they would have to go. Pro -- Undermined if they dare which they dared do advance. When a majority of voters thing. And we -- where it's going into effect almost immediately obvious. It flee their running scared they're gonna spend billions of dollars to trade exceeded they're organized. Aid organizations -- so -- and it organized to fight this thing but it put."

" An international brotherhood of payroll patriots is leading the assault."

" Like -- it's that clearly this is going to change things --"

" So it -- market could be dubbed the answer is you you can't stop them from doing any thing but they they've got -- they've got to understand that if they do there there will probably be heavy blow back this time."

" Very heavy and the more people to vote the more powerful it will be for. So if you have ever registers that not -- voting. In recent years now -- your chance to cast a vote -- will have more intact and possibly a lifetime. If you go to that report tactic yet registered your current address. Get registered. Next week appalled when your town clerks not the deal and get registered he's made it possible to get read a vote four."

" While I let my -- in Massachusetts teachers union. Element to save their teachers all the teachers that are -- and nine bucks which have a what they're gonna spend. What you're saying is true which he -- army."

" They don't want to take any chances yeah. Thanks. Cynicism in your cynicism is well founded there's there's no question about that yeah. But he you know at least you don't you want to get him on the record as as given you the finger."

" A look at how -- editing that we need -- actually end into the tech. We -- and so so the question should be -- put but it did teachers talent to go quick ripping -- our teachers by spending. Membership dues and millions of dollars. Advertising against the everyday taxpayers of this state and by the -- not etiquette and respect that there looking tired all the -- Call Michael Widmer is the corporate. Lobbyists.
