What I understand from State Rep. Jim Townsend is that just around 37% of New Mexicans pay taxes!! We float the boat for the state. Our property taxes go up every year! STOP IT! The DEMS are killing us! We the people, who pay taxes should get a chunk of that $3.5 billion surplus! Lord of have mercy! New Mexico will find away to throw that surplus to the wind and nothing will get better here for sure! Nothing ever does! The state allows the killings of God’s babies through abortion! So many fools walk this state and do not beleive in God. God will have His way with us all.
FGGAM received this press release late yesterday from the New Mexico House Republicans.
Representative Jim Townsend (R-Artesia) introduced a substitute bill for House Democrats’ tax bracket changes, offering New Mexicans unprecedented and monumental tax cuts that would have put more money in the pockets of the taxpayer.
The substitute bill would have stopped House Democrats from taking away the capital gains deduction, which directly targets investors and retirees in New Mexico. It also created a 1% flat personal income tax rate for every New Mexican, providing tax relief of thousands of dollars a year for families across the state.
Rep. Townsend stated, “Today, the New Mexico House of Representatives turned their back on New Mexico taxpayers, refusing to share the excess tax revenue. The families of New Mexico are hurting, and they need help. We have the capacity to help them but with a $3.5 billion surplus, House Democrats would rather grow the government than fortify families.”
The final vote was on party lines, and it is loud and clear where NM Democrats stand; they believe that your money is theirs and will spend it how they see fit, disregarding what is best for you and your family.
Pastor Dewey Moede: New Mexico and all of America, need hearts for JESUS. We have turned into a godless society. Just 4% of us have a Biblical Worldview. It plays out right before your eyes everyday.
God’s Word is the final authority for faith and life.
as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
What’s a biblical worldview?
A biblical worldview is based on the infallible Word of God. When you believe the Bible is entirely true, then you allow it to be the foundation of everything you say and do. That means, for instance, you take seriously the mandate in Romans 13 to honor the governing authorities by researching the candidates and issues, making voting a priority.
Do you have a biblical worldview? Answer the following questions, based on claims found in the Bible and which George Barna used in his survey:
- Do absolute moral truths exist?
- Is absolute truth defined by the Bible?
- Did Jesus Christ live a sinless life?
- Is God the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe, and does He still rule it today?
- Is salvation a gift from God that cannot be earned?
- Is Satan real?
- Does a Christian have a responsibility to share his or her faith in Christ with other people?
- Is the Bible accurate in all of its teachings?
Did you answer yes to these? Only 9 percent of “born- again” believers did. But what’s more important than your yes to these questions is whether your life shows it. Granted, we are all sinners and fall short, but most of our gut reactions will reflect what we deep-down, honest-to-goodness believe to be real and true.
