Getting out of the UN would be good. When NAMBLA has consultant status and they define peace as the absence of opposition, well I certainly don't want them here.
Perhaps we need to set the bar a bit lower to find good politicians. No warrants, no drug charges since college at least, no Wife beating.
I'd run, and I would do my job. I believe my ethics and intelligence would make me a good Man for the job, but there are a few problems. In my misspent youth I got into some trouble, and I had the misfortune to have a business and money. I bought my way out of more trouble than most people have had in a lifetime. Actually I wish I'd gottten slammed really hard the first time, I may have learned my lesson earlier in life.
I also drink and smoke and smoke, and if they find them, some very politically incorrect postings on the web, something some of you may know. What's more there may have been some times when I was a bit inebriated and actually went farther than I wanted to, but honestly, my real views are a bit too harsh for many people. Even after all the compromises I would like to see this country get alot harsher on people who cheat, steal, maim and kill, and alot easier on people who really can't afford to pay their taxes, say things that are not nice, defend themselves, and basically try to do good.
I'll tell you what the first piece of legislation I would introduce, or very close to first, would stop companies from gouging the US. A new tax on corporations only, if you charge more in the US for any product that you sell overseas, the new tax on that difference would be 150%. This would be coupled with lower overall tax rates. The amount of money colllected by the new tax would DIRECTLY fund a seperate tax deduction for taxpayers. For prescription drugs of course. This would be one healthy write off, and even if paid by insurance, the taxpayer still gets the deduction. The gov might even make a few bucks, but it would be written right in that 80% goes directly to the people in their income tax returns or abatements. Wanna see some change fast ?
As much as I am against using tax code as a means of social engineering, this is more corporate behavior engineering. Corporations become big and powerful and fleece people every day. With teams of lawyers they win lawsuits they should lose. This windfall is not right. It is perpetrated on the American People, as such it identifies the offenders as either enemies or criminals.
There is a concept in Law that a corporation is sort of a strawman, and therefore operates as a person in a courtroom. Otherwise it would be hard to litigate cases between private individuals and corporations.
Within this concept, however, is that the operators of the strawman are indeed responsible for it's actions. If they are raping the American-US population for private gain, they are guilty of a crime. They might not be actually guilty of treason, at least not all of them, but they are definitely guilty of felonies.
But then when the CIA briefs the Commander in Chief with false and misleading information, the is high treason, and he should be hanged. Everybody else did it too, but I think it stinks at the highest level, I think that Bush wanted it that way to further the plan. The plan is to make alot of money.
Let me digress into sociology for a moment. They are not that smart.. they are repleat with US dollars, and while they might have copious amounts of foreign currency, alot of their money is still in dollars, if it weren't somebody would catch wind of it. Now the USD drops like a rock, don't even think of looking it up on the internet, listen to me, when the value of your house has tripled since 89, that means your dollar is worth 33 cents. With the proviso that there have been no major improvements. That is NOT property value going up, it is the dollars going down.
Now if you have alot of dollars, there is only one way to kep your current level of "wealth", and that is to make an exponentially larger amount of money every year, or whatever time period you chose to use. It is inevitable that eventually they want it all. It is the same flaw in personality causing this as any addiction, and therefore is irrational. Let's put it this way, if you have say a billion dolars, why would you need more ? That, in and of itself is irrational. But they want to buy power. It's like a game of Monopoly to them, sometimes they play against each other, but mostly against us.
OK, enough for now, but here is the coup de etat.
Who among the present candidates would do this ?
Just who chose those candidates ?
If we don't get some fingers into that process we are doomed to an armed conflict, years down the road. Either that or the total collapse of the dollar. Neither is a bright future.
If we can actually accomplish something, there needs to be another arm of the movement. We go to the polls actually and try to get everyone who voted to send back a private ballot. We explain to them on the way out, because I think it is unlawful to impede anyone on their way to vote. But by polling on the paper level, we might uncover vote fraud., there is no paper trail in alot of places. I am sure they are crooked, I just don't know how crooked. What if we found that everybody voted for this one but it didn't count right, and the other won. How much you want to bet the incumbent won ?
Point is, you can't trust anyone anymore. As Lou Reed put it " It takes a busload of faith to get by " . If I thought the human spirit wouldn't prevail eventually, I wouldn't be here. It will, but will it start in my lifetime ?
Will a glimpse of hope be in front of me before I return to the dust ? Will I ever see the light at the end of this tunnel ?
Perhaps with the nasty shit I've done in the past I do not deserve to see a better world, perhaps I am already destined to die. Does that mean nobody should care about their children just to provide a temporary hell for me ? That is the deal, if you let things go on the way they do, your kids will suffer, if we can just get something going on soon, there may be hope. I have no kids (I know of, look for me on Maury), and because other alternatives are very nasty, we should try to do something.
Without influencing government like we should, the future is bleak in either case, we basically become a third world country.
It is not that it might happen, it WILL happen if we don't act soon, and effectively. We need another Ron Paul, and actually we need alot of them. Then we go after the senate. There is no replacement for popular support.
If we had gotten one of our guys in the senate, Bush might not be President now. Of course the alternative was no better, but it seems the second term is the worst, they grow some really big balls. They know they can't be reelected, so they do whatever they want.
