Originally posted by OhioFiler View PostA fair tax system could be created based on the Constitutional mandates and intent of our founders.
I truly wish I had the answers but I don't. I suggested that we start by having Congressmen (Representatives and Senators) stop receiving a salary, and stop allowing lobbyists to woo them. Definitely stop the lobbies from writing legislation!
Anyhow, in a capitalist society, when there is big money and control there for the taking... people will do everything to get more money or more control. The Congressman (or President) who tells you that we need to do all these things in the name of Country, yet their personal lives contradict what "society" is (you know, we guys even in the middle class and certainly the unfortunate lower class)... needs to be voted out this year (2010) and next cycle (2012).
Just say No! Vote: None of the Above 2010.Chapter 7 (No Asset/Non-Consumer) Filed (Pro Se) 7/08 (converted from Chapter 13 - 2/10)

Originally posted by justbroke View PostAnd that's the contradiction that I keep pointing out yet no one listens. At least you get it! True Federalists never wanted Government intrusion, especially from the Federal Government. The Federal Government was never intended to become so large and bloated, but it's a machine and is very efficient at keeping itself running.

What we need are people willing to sacrifice for the betterment of our country.Well, I did. Every one of 'em. Mostly I remember the last one. The wild finish. A guy standing on a station platform in the rain with a comical look in his face because his insides have been kicked out. -Rick

Controlling the lobbyists would be a start, but no one has the balls to stop that particular gravy train.

Originally posted by OhioFiler View PostWe already have them. Reid, Pelosi, Obama etal are nothing but "white (mostly), aristocratic (Michelle, "Let Them Eat Cake" Obama) and slave-owning (the poor and unionized are slaves to the democrats).
What we need are people willing to sacrifice for the betterment of our country.
Hmmm.......
Obama was raised by a single mother that collected public assistance.
I don't think anyone whose ancestors didn't arrive on the Mayflower (or soon thereafter) can be considered "aristocratic" in this country in the way the founding fathers were aristocratic.
I like the bumpersticker slogan that is the last line of your post. Do you have that on your Prius bumper?You can't take a picture of this. It's already gone. ~~Nate, Six Feet Under

The point was, that he was bombarded, had bribes tossed at him, and accused of everything under the sun. He reasoned that an honest person couldn't do the job. Most politicians feel a need to lie (or hide the truth) from their constituency, and he couldn't do it.
