I am appalled at the direction this once great nation is taking. Our politicians are, in the majority, corrupt. Our system of lobbying has turned this into a country that is ran by special interest rather than a country "Of the People" "By the People" "For the People". Big business buys the elections at the national level of politics. Our government continually threatens to raise taxes and if this "raise" in taxes was to be ditributed across the board equally I would support it. In fact these taxes will be levied against the so called "Middle" class. They will not raise taxes on the the rich, that upper 20% that holds 80% of the wealth in this country. So the main effort is to sqeeze more out of the ever shrinking MIDDLE class. I had hoped that the people of this nation would stand up and call for an end to the corruption that is rampant here. I had hopes that the TEA Party would shake up the good ol boy network that is at the heart of the corruption. It has not materialized. I have seen a migration of both Republican and Democratic party members leaving to be Independents. Even that has had little effect of the main line parties.
I believe it is time to forward AN American Party to bring this country back to it's real stakeholders, The American people.
Why are Foreign countries allowed to lobby in our government?
Why are lobbies allowed to bribe our representatives?
WHY DO WE STAND FOR IT?
Why are we discussing cutting the benefits of the people who PAID thier way into Social Security? Yet they are not talking about cutting the people who did not pay thier way into the system such as a good portion of the Social security disability. Why are we expanding Welfare? the majority of the people in this nation believe in Workfare not Welfare. Why? because the Welfare recipients are voters. We all believe that the AFDC program should be there as a helping hand for hard times. But there are people that have never collected a paycheck , at least above the table, that will eventually collect Social Security. HOW? they never paid into the system. It is pretty easy to see why the Social Security system is in deep trouble. Why should people pay into a system that has become an extension of Welfare? This especially when they are being told that it will bankrupt. Do you think the disability part of this program will close down? There are so many examples of the corruption inside our government yet these representatives do not pay a price for thier misconduct. Why are these people who write the laws not held to a higher standard like the
Peace Officers of this nation? What rfeally tops this is thier beliefs about retirement systems. They recieve a retirement for just one term in office , but want to extend retirements for us to 30 to 40 years of work. They want to raise Social security to the age of 72. So basically they are betting on you dropping dead before you collect your first check! There needs to be a change! we need to change these systems to a work ethic.
well that is all for now think on these thoughts and ask
WHERE is the American Party?
