I encourage everyone to check out AmericaAgain! http://www.joinamericaagain.com/ The site is devoted to taking America back through the inditement of our Congressional Leaders. Sounds a little far fetched huh? I have read their site quite thoroughly and think what they are designing can work. It will take a lot of Patriots like you to jump on board and join the cause. They need membership to make this work. I think it’s worth a try!

Thursday, August 5th, 2010The burden of the zero-liability voter…
Friday, April 16th, 2010The burden of the zero-liability voter… I am getting so sick and tired of carrying your weight! I’m tired and I’m not willing to cooperate anymore. Some of you are probably wondering what a zero-liability voter is. They are the 47% of our population who don’t pay any taxes (See http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Nearly-half-of-US-households-apf-1105567323.html?x=0&.v=1). Many of them are welfare abusing, entitlement grubbing sponges who refuse to do for themselves because suckers like me are out there working our @sses off and paying taxes so the sponges can demand more and more.
It isn’t right that a group of people, who don’t work, don’t pay taxes yet demand healthcare, welfare and more while the money that I work for and earn legitimately gets taken from me to pay for their free stuff. What the heII??? What gives them the right to demand and get anything? In my opinion people who don’t pay taxes shouldn’t be allowed to vote! The increasing size of the no-tax paying populace puts the tax payers at a huge disadvantage, a disadvantage that the liberals and big Government wonks rely on to grow government out of control (See http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122463231048556587.html).
Many will say I’m not compassionate and I refuse to help those who are in need. I have no problem being charitable. I believe there is a need for welfare and such but it should be very limited and reserved for the truly needy. Unfortunately that’s not what is happening. Today, we have generational welfare. Welfare clients are so adept at manipulating the system they are incentivized to stay on welfare. Why work when you can stay at home and watch TV?
The time for change has arrived. I may be just one person but I know I’m not alone. I’m not the only one pissed off about the out of control spending this government is doing. No, I’m not blaming just the Democrats, I also blame the Republicans. I blame myself for not speaking out sooner. The populace was asleep for a long time, content to focus on our own lives and worlds, trusting that our politicians would do the right things. The time has arrived for us to engage and take back control. We need to find and elect people who will press the reset button and restore the Country to its foundation.

Corruption in Washington
Monday, August 17th, 2009So we see the corruption in Washington every day. Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) stated at Netroots Nation that he would vote against the interests of his constituents. Clearly, our representatives in Congress have forgotten for whom they work. Most people realize this, but ask, “What can we do about it?” Well, there are two things that can be done that make a huge difference in Washington.
The first would be to amend the Constitution setting term limits of two terms for members of Congress. (With a caveat that it is two terms total, so that it isn’t 12 years in the Senate and another 4 years in the house). This will prevent the “untouchables” like Barney Frank and Ted Kennedy from locking up committees and just sitting there collecting money from lobbyists.
The second part of this would be to implement the Fair Tax proposal. This simplifies the tax code and prevents Congressional Manipulation of it. So now, Joe Lobbyist can’t spend $200,000 to get a Member of Congress to give the company he represents and tax break.
So, by removing the ability for members of Congress to manipulate the tax code and limiting their stay in Washington, we can cut down on a great deal of corruption in Washington. It won’t cure it all, because they still write the budget. But it’s definitely a start.
