Tax the Wealthy, not the Rich

Posted in If I were President...., Politics, Vote Out The Bums at 12:53 am by Administrator

If I were president, I would triple the public treasury with one stroke of the pen. I would make Social Security and Medicare solvent. I would provide health care for all U.S. citizens. I would lower the tax burden for all but the wealthy.

Corrupt politicians are making fools of the American people again. They pretend to be European-style socialists and continue to play the class-envy game, ‘tax the rich’. Behind this game-playing smoke screen, corrupt politicians are exempting their friends and in some cases, family, from taxation. Through these exemptions, corrupt politicians are allowing the wealthy to rob the public treasury of billions of tax dollars. A true socialist wouldn’t let that happen, but a corrupt politician would!

The tax-exempt foundation is an IRS loophole the wealthy use to rob the public treasury and shift the entire U.S. tax burden to hardworking, tax paying, middle class fools. Through the years the wealthy haven’t paid taxes on trillions of dollars.

If you are wondering why the U.S. deficit is on its way to bankrupting the United States of America (besides the ‘Keystone Cops’ in Congress), look at tax-exempt foundations. B.H. Obama, the current Congressional groupies and their predecessors are gutless wonders for not taking on the wealthy and their tax-exempt foundation status. They could become true American heroes if the did. They could pay for Social Security, Medicare and health care for all. Will they? Not with the cowardly lion in the White House and straw men and women in Congress.

The rub on corrupt politicians is that these tax-exempt foundations are essentially saying, ‘we can spend the money wiser than you politicians’. In reality, these foundations are funneling huge sums of money to anti-American and anti-capitalist groups, while giving pitons to ‘worthy’ causes. Bottom line: they are cheating the American taxpayers of billions of dollars.

Tax-exempt foundations have been around since Benjamin Franklin’s time. “Before 1900, there were only 18 foundations; from 1910-19, there were 76; during the 1920’s, 173; the 1930’s, 288; the 1940’s, 1,638; and during the 1950’s, there were 2,839 foundations. United Press International (UPI) reported on July 19, 1969, that the top 596 foundations had an income that was twice the net earnings of the country’s 50 largest commercial banking institutions. According to Rep. Wright Patman, in a report to the 87th Congress, it is because of the existence of foundations that “only one-third of the income of the nation is actually taxed.

Along with the Gates, Soros, and the Buffet Foundations, the list below names some of the larger tax-evading foundations. Combined they have avoided paying hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes each year.
• Rockefeller Foundation (Standard Oil)
• Ford Foundation (Ford Motor Co.)
• Duke Endowment (Duke family fortune)
• John A. Hartford Foundation (Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea)
• W.K. Kellog Foundation (Kellogg Cereals)
• Carnegie Corporation (Carnegie Steel)
• Alfred P. Sloan Foundation (General Motors)
• Moody Foundation (W. L. Moody’s oil, realty, newspapers, and bank holdings)
• Lilly Endowment (Eli Lilly Pharmaceuticals)
• Pew Memorial Trust (Sun Oil Co. or Sunoco)
• Danforth Foundation (Purina Cereals)

Not only have these tax-evading foundations robbed the public treasury of billions of tax dollars, but their influence reads like a historical conspiracy theory. “Forty years later, it’s clear that Wormser’s concerns over foundations were not misplaced. They still wield enormous political and cultural power. It’s also clear that Congress should have worried more about the ‘U.S. Secret State’ than about Communism (back in the 50s). The connections between intelligence elites, and the international programs funded by major foundations such as Carnegie, Ford, and Rockefeller, are quite amazing and deserve their own book.”

The tax-exempt foundations laugh in the faces of taxpayers. “On September 7, 2000, the Internal Revenue Service approved a new non-profit educational foundation named the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America Foundation as a tax-exempt organization.” (no joke!)
http://www.bmwmoafoundation.org/history/index.html

If corrupt politicians really wanted to shore up Social Security, Medicare and provide health care for all American citizens they would revoke tax exempt status of these foundations. Corrupt politicians are stupid cowards. They refuse to correct a historical wrong. They refuse to tax the wealthy.

B.H. Obama and the Congressional groupies are taxing all American citizens under the disguise of ‘taxing the rich’. They should be taxing the wealthy where the money really is. Why do you think that is? It is because these tax-exempt foundations are the largest source of funding for many un-American and anti-capitalist organizations. The philosophy of these foundations fuels the likes of B.H. Obama.

Follow the money that is attacking the basic structure of the U.S. Constitution and our American heritage. Follow the tax-exempt money and weep! These discoveries read like the ultimate conspiracy theory.

Courageous future politicians are on the sidelines waiting for a ‘call to freedom’. The only way tax paying, U.S. citizens will fix this massive tax-exempt foundation travesty is to vote me in as president. That would take a miracle. A non-miracle way to answer the ‘call to freedom’ would be to VOTB.

If I were President….Education

Posted in If I were President...., Politics, Vote Out The Bums at 5:26 pm by Administrator

If I were President of the United States, I would require all colleges and universities to participate in pro-bono education. Tenured professors toy with adoring students and have their teaching assistants do all the work. The time has come for higher education to join the pro-bono ranks of lawyers and medical professionals.

Colleges and universities have always enjoyed pampered economic status. “College tuition and fees in the United States experienced an average annual inflation rate of 8.7% over the past 20 years, according to Department of Labor statistics. That’s 3.8 percent more than the average annual inflation rate of 4.9% during that same period.”
http://www.fincalc.com/art_27.asp?id=14142

The American Bar Association’s ethical rules recommend that lawyers provide a minimum of 50 hours of pro bono legal work per year. Many believe that legal pro bono work is essential to ensure judicial access to everyone.

Medical professionals within the hospital setting have the obligation of stabilizing every emergency patient regardless of pocket book or citizenship status. Many of these patients are written off the books as pro bono. Many believe that pro bono work should apply to all physicians. This would ensure medical access to everyone. Especially, since ObamaCare will not cover everyone.

The same philosophy of legal and medical access for all must apply to education. Higher education is not financially accessible to everyone today. Higher education is relatively more expensive than legal or medical costs.

My educational pro-bono plan would be implemented within three years. My enforcement would be federal funding for educational institutions. Simply stated, follow my pro bono plan or no federal funding period (as in Pell grants and federally insured loans).

The first year would require colleges and universities to design and implement a test group of 20 students. They would have redesigned a ‘new’ bachelors’ degree based on 2 and a half years of classes, most being upper division work.

Traditional degree plans are full of electives and basic courses with the theory of making student well rounded individuals. My plan targets students’ specific degree needs not fluff. A bachelor’s degree in psychology or math or whatever, without the electives and some of the basic undergraduate busy work would be the new streamlined degree. The traditional bachelors of Science or Arts would still be available for students that want the traditional college experience. The bachelors of ‘whatever’ would be the slimmed down, specialist degree.

In between the first and second year, I would involve best practices to review and select promising designs.

During the second year, Colleges and universities would implement the best-designed plans to larger test groups. They would continue with their original sample group with modifications as necessary.

The third year would be open enrollment for the first 1000 economically challenged students per school. The overflow for any particular school would be distributed throughout all the schools. Once all the school had their 1000 students, a waiting list would be created.

These pro bono students would have the option of attending school through distance learning situations or physically attending class as traditional students. New electronic books, such as the ‘kindle’, enable distance learning anywhere.

The goal of a more educated population is two fold. The first is physical. People wanting more than the bottom level of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs will have that opportunity through educational advancement.

Secondly, a more educated public will demand more common sense from their elected officials. Corrupt politicians fear educated citizens.

Short of me becoming President of the United States, voters need an alternative strategy.

Packing for a Long Trip

Posted in If I were President...., Politics, Vote Out The Bums at 4:26 am by Administrator

For many decades, corrupt politicians have been running government like they are packing for a long trip. Most citizens with travel experience know to pack light for long trips. We’ve all made the mistake of ‘over-packing’. Once on the trip we discover we don’t need everything we’ve packed. But we still have to lug the over-packed, heavy suitcase around. This suitcase seems to get heavier as the trip continues.

The U.S. is on a historical trip. It’s the greatest nation in the history of civilizations. But like many great nations before, government (through corrupt politicians) keeps putting stuff in the suitcase for this historical trip. The nation doesn’t need all this stuff because it will eventually weight down its carriers – the citizens.

Government, through power hungry, corrupt politicians, has made a major mistake. They have taken national concerns and have made them government responsibilities. Most of these responsibilities are not constitutional. The non-constitutional responsibilities are making government’s suitcase heavier than it should be. We don’t have the resources (tax-paying, citizen power) to carry it much longer.

The U.S. government suitcase has an entitlement sticker on it. It’s packed with welfare, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the post office, government contracts, etc. The U.S. trip has lasted over two centuries. But there are signs the trip is ending because of the suitcase’s weight.

As the suitcase gets heavier, there are signs that tax paying U.S. citizens won’t be able to or simply won’t carry it much longer. Corrupt politicians have made concerns about people’s individual financial status government’s responsibility even though it’s unconstitutional. They are expanding an unconstitutional responsibility of healthcare (Medicare/Medicaid) to unidentifiable limits. They are also trying to play god by controlling the world’s climate.

Between 1933 and 1935 government really began stuffing things into the suitcase. FDR’s New Deal put 14 government programs in. Many of these programs were said to be for short ‘trips’. Guess what: The corrupt politicians lied!

Government’s unconstitutional responsibility called welfare still exists today. It has had only one major reform. In 1996 Bill Clinton placed lifetime limits on those receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) payments. Welfare has made the suitcase heavier for all over the years.

The Social Security Act of 1935 created the single largest item in government’s suitcase. It consumes over 22% of total government expenditures. The Social Security Trustees’ Report stated that the Social Security Retirement System’s unfunded liability increased by $752 billion since the 1998 Trustee Report was published. This brings the total long-term unfunded liability to more than $19 trillion. The suitcase is getting very heavy.
http://www.socialsecurityreform.org/history/index.cfm

Placing Medicare/Medicaid into government’s suitcase took two (2) decades. Harry Truman asked Congress in 1945 to establish a national health insurance plan. Not until 20 years later in 1965, after much debate (Regan’s famous speech) with warnings about ‘socialized medicine’ did President Johnson sign into law Medicare and Medicaid. Prescription benefits were also added too the suitcase’s weight in the 2000s. Ironically, Obama is trying to add extra healthcare weight in months with little citizen debate.

The U.S. Postal service began over two centuries ago. It’s going bust and is the future of the stuff in the suitcase. Note the 8.3.09 headline. It says it all. ‘WASHINGTON – Facing staggering financial losses, the Postal Service is looking at closing nearly 1,000 offices across the country.’
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iT0TjUXd3MeCGbjIpFWYmT33BllAD99RLL5G1

Cap and trade legislation could break the suitcase handle clean off. “Under the cap-and-trade system, the federal government would limit the total volume of CO2 that U.S. companies can emit each year and would issue permits that companies would be required to have for each ton of CO2 emitted.”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/31/AR2009053102077.html

“Politicians love cap and trade because they can claim to be taxing “polluters,” not workers. Hardly (corrupt politicians lying again) Once the government creates a scarce new commodity — in this case the right to emit carbon — and then mandates that businesses buy it, the costs would inevitably be passed on to all consumers in the form of higher prices.”
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123655590609066021.html

All you acorners listen up! Your man, B.H. Obama is aiming to tax you with higher consumer goods prices!!! That’s your thanks for helping him win the white house.

The current administration is being ordered to pack even more stuff into its suitcase. Cap and trade and healthcare are two items that will rival the heaviness of Social Security. These ideas may be concerns but they are not constitutional responsibilities.

If I were president…..

I would first unpack the government suitcase and examine what’s in there. The most obvious item of note would be fraud. Deceptively spread throughout the suitcase, fraud is like the odor of dirty underwear. It permeates every other item in the suitcase. I would exam very program for fraud. And then I would eliminate fraud and its future.

I see fraud as a step-sister to justice. Fraud is blind. It has no ethnicity, color or sexual orientation. But fraud is contagious. Fraudulent schemes to swindle tax dollars are limitless.

Like any most diseases, fraud has a cure. The cure requires surgery. Naturally, the opposition to surgically eliminating fraud would surface immediately.

The opposition would be the pro-fraud crowd backed by the ACLU. They would call me a racist, Nazi, un-American, homophobe, radical extremists, right wing nut whatever ….. Ultimately, the pro-fraud crowd will claim that “attacking fraud is an abuse of democracy” even though they don’t believe in democracy.

To this pro-fraud crowd, I say get real. You are being manipulated by other peoples’ ideas/causes. You’re a joke waiting for a punch line.

The ideas/cause don’t have any long-term benefits for you or your families. The ideas/cause is your handler’s wet dream of global domination. These handlers rule you. Whoever is giving you marching orders from is playing you for a sucker. Acorn, media and union people and all those bloogers are on the priority sucker-list.

You suckers get to call people with different ideas – names. You get to stir the hate pot inside your being. You can feel like winners because your brand of ideas is dictating how citizens have to live their lives.

Your ultimate victory slogan is ‘misery loves company’. At the core of your being, you are miserable and need fantasies of feeling morally superior. The joke’s punch line is – you are carrying the same suitcase as the people you are calling names!

What are the acorns, media and union people, bloggers getting for supporting government induced socialism, fascism and communism? If you are one of these ask yourself a few basic questions. How is the ideas/cause you’re supporting:
• putting food on your table?
• ensuring freedom for your kids and grand kids?
• giving you the quality of life that your politicians enjoy?
• improving your opportunities to earn more money?
• translating to a more secure lifestyle – today in your lifetime?

Whether you realize it or not, you workers are united behind carrying an extremely heavy suitcase. The stuff inside the suitcase will boil you to death like the frog in the gradually warming pot. Before you know it you and the people you’re calling names will be serfs working for the politician lords and corporate kings. Congratulations, you are helping to usher in Feudalism!

Corrupt politicians have and are continuing to over-pack the government’s suitcase. Citizens need politicians that will lighten the suitcase not make it heavier! After all, we all are hoping to extend the U.S.’s historical trip, aren’t we?

An election revolt will send corrupt politicians the ‘lighter suitcase’ message. Every incumbent politician needs to be voted out of office. The longer they stay in office, the more corrupt they become.

Every citizen will benefit from a lighter suitcase, even the acorn people.

VOTB: Vote Out The (suitcase over-stuffing) Bums – every incumbent, every election.

In the 2010 elections, we all can start unpacking the government’s suitcase.

Go to the VOTB store and spread the unpacking idea around!

The Citizen Impact Statement

Posted in If I were President...., Politics, Vote Out The Bums at 6:12 pm by Administrator

If I were president…..

I would institute the Citizen’s Impact Statement (CIS) process. Similar to the Environmental Impact Statement process, the CIS would need to be issued before congress or the president could pass or sign any legislation into law.

If the environment is so important, how much more important are human beings? Even in a feudalistic society, humans are necessary for paying taxes and producing food/goods for the elites’ consumption.

Under U.S. Environmental Law a document is required by the National Environmental Policy Act for federal government agency actions that ‘significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.’ Using a Reagan-like public appeal, I would get congress to pass a ‘National Citizens Policy Act’. This Act would require a similar statement for all actions that ‘significantly affect the quality of human life.’

Ironically, a bill stalled in congress had a similar ring to it. H.R. 3396: Citizens Protection Act of 1998 is still buried. This bill doesn’t call for any impact statement, but it could be the beginning of a general ‘National Citizens Policy Act’. It calls for ‘ethical standards for attorneys in government.’ Now you understand why it’s stalled in committee. One could stretch those ‘ethical standards’ to include all attorneys in government – most politicians, too!

The goal of the ‘National Citizens Policy Act’ would be governmental restraint. Here’s why citizens need protection from corrupt politicians controlling today’s government.

The slightest changes in government policy can have far reaching effects on citizens. Politicians, blinded by ego and pride in their short-sided thinking, are making significant policy changes today. They actually believe they can fix anything – economy, healthcare, housing, employment, imports/exports, foreign relations, even other countries, etc. They treat everything as a stand-alone problem. They need a course in endocrinology to understand the term inter-related!

If I were President I would direct congress to place minimum academic requirements for elected politicians. (That’s another blog topic.) In the future, one of the courses all politicians would need to take is an endocrinology class for beginners. Only then will they begin to understand the inter-related ‘cause and effect’ process.

Endocrinology is the study of hormones. Hormones are produced by a variety of glands in the body. Endocrinology encompasses the inter-relationship among all these glands.

Hormones are multifunctional biochemicals that control and regulate body functions. In short, hormones affect a person’s overall health. Many disorders can result from hormone imbalance. Some of these conditions include weakening of the immune system, violent mode swings, obesity, aging, sexual dysfunctions, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, senility, Alzheiemer’s disease, premature death, etc.

Hormone imbalances can be caused by a number of self-imposed things. Through ignorance these things can be taken into the body initiating hormone imbalances. Several common things include birth control pills, chemicals from processed food or their containers or the environment, steroid use, legal or illegal drug use, etc. These things affect one body hormone causing the desired affect. But when one hormone level is changed so are other hormone levels because they are all inter-related.

Even small quantities of these things can cause hormone imbalances. Get the point?

Politicians pass a bill to save big corporations, but they don’t anticipate the unemployment they have caused. They allow social programs’ fraud and keep on spending citizens into future debt. They pass a bill to make housing affordable to illegals and they affect every law abiding citizen’s ability to own a home in the future. Politicians authorize printing billions of dollars and then funnel it to foreigners. These same politicians don’t anticipate (or care) how that adversely affects a citizen’s purchasing power. They do a ‘cash for clunkers’ program and don’t understand how that affects affordable transportation for the less financially able.

A politician’s ignorance of this cause and effect inter-relationship is adversely affecting every U.S. citizen. The cause and effect of their actions today will make future generations very angry. Why, because ignorant politicians don’t play-out the inter-relationships of their actions.

As president I would pass a ‘National Citizens Policy Act’ that requires a Citizens Impact Statement for all congressional and presidential actions ‘significantly affecting the quality of human life.’

Citizens of the U.S. call for a ‘National Citizens Policy Act’ and a Citizens’ Impact Statement before any future federal or state laws/regulations are passed. Should elected politicians refuse to comply, vote them out – VOTB

VOTB – Vote Out The Bums: every incumbent, every election. Corrupt politicians are causing many problems for U.S. citizens. The affect should be their political unemployment!
