We need to Fight Back,
Been thinking about a blog for
sometime. I have been disheartened since last years election. I am
now coming back. Hope springs eternal that we the people can stop
this insanity that we call the federal government, its abuse of
power and the over reach in to our personal lives. I want to thank
Anthony Wiener Eliot Spitzer and others for reminding me how absurd our politics have become. This absurdity has also
reminded me that the solution is not in electing better people, it is
not in having the courts overturn things. The solution is not in
treating the symptoms of the destruction of our culture but it is the
taking away what feeds the beast. If the beast can not be fed the
beast dies. Thus, I suggest there are at least 3 major changes
that can accomplish change .
Term Limits: I think exercising
our right to vote is the natural way to enact term limits. However I
also think that a constitutional amendment, similar to the one
restricting Presidents to 2 terms, would help a great deal to putting
a permanent stop to “government by special interest”.
All laws passed by congress and or the
administration should also be the law of the land for congress and
all of government. NO exceptions to this rule. Today we all know
that we have created a political class of jobs and people that by law
are elite. Just look at what they get, paid for by us, that we do
not get.
Employment:
Pay: They are in the top 3 % of
salaried persons in the US.
Pension: Way better than the
middle class who has to work till they are 67. In only 20 years a
pension is due
Health care: A Cadillac plan
paid by the government for life.
Allowance for housing: That
builds equity and ownership at our expense. It is an investment paid
for by the tax payer.
Travel perks: Overseas travel
on the tax payer.
Insider trading on insider
information that is legal for congress and not for the tax payer.
Public Unions:
This has been a disaster created by a
president who needed the votes of unions to get elected. unions had
been held out of the public sector for good reason until a president
needed help to be elected and promised the unions that he would allow
the unionization of the public sector. The great President Kennedy
sold, “we the people” down the tube in order to be elected. He
held good on his promise and in 1963 public sector Unionization
became a reality. Guess what. Today,in fact since 2009, more than
half off all union workers are in the public sector. Now working in
a public sector union would be the same as if Henry Ford was on the
Union board while the negotiation with Ford took place. Everybody
but the public union members, the democratic party and the national
union offices know that the relationship between the politicians,
union members and pay is the most corrupt special interest in the
land. 97% of all union donations go to Democrats.
You can not fire, layoff, a government
worker.
The tax payer is on the hook for these
losses. This is the corruption of the legislators and the unions and
how the have frauded we the people.
When we say “government is to big”
we are saying that the cost of supporting all these workers,
programs, and good ideas is not any longer affordable.
Cut the budget and take away the simple power of the size of government. It is out of control.
The
progressive philosophy has begun to crumble in on itself from the
shear weight of corruption. The most glaring example is the Obama
care Health care law. The socialization of medicine is 1/6 of our
total economy and the government wants to run it. What a joke. The
government can not even get a website up and running. The IRS is politically targeting us. Benghazi has no answers yet. The NSA is spying on us. I think all
the lies and misstatements are coming home to roost and the
progressives are running for the woods. I am truly heartened to see
real people finding out for themselves that they have swallowed a giant lie and it is not tasting very good. I am heartened to see the people fight back with facts not lies and that the people are holding government accountable even if the press did not for over 5 years. The progressives are going to
pay.
