Money

Hi
Today I will start to explain what I think are the ways to correct the problems the American people face. We have all heard it said that in buying real estate 3 things count, - location, location and location. Politics has its own version of that saying, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY""" Look at how much was spent on this last presidential campaign, it makes me laugh that the liberal politicians decry the wealthy but they spend hundred of millions to get elected. Where does that money come from. it comes from the wealthy fat cats. You and I with our $50 or $100 donation are an afterthought. When it comes time to enact legislation who do you think the same politicians favor, those same fat cats, we are still an afterthought. History is replete with examples and from both parties. Hey, Bill O'Reilly, " Who is looking out for the working guy? "
The problem is getting the money out of politics, McCain-Feingold tried but it only made the shift to these so called issue oriented organizations. It empowers the Swift Boat Veterans, George Soros and those of that mind set.
I extend the idea that a flat or fair tax would eliminate this problem. I have written before about this type of tax but I will review it. Basically a flat or fair tax is one levied on spending, not income. If you earn $20 an hour and you work for 10 hours, you get $200 on payday. ( 10 x $20. ) The government is financed by means of a tax levied on the sale of goods and services. The rich still pay more because they spend more, things like social security, medicare and prescription drug coverage would still be paid. For you senior citizens who have been told that you will lose benefits, don't believe it. It is a lie. The guy who has pioneered and championed the cause of a flat tax is Neal Boortz. Read his books and go to his web site if you want more information about the fair tax. He explains it better than I can.
Once we have accepted the idea of a flat tax ( Please excuse me but I use the terms flat and fair tax interchangeably, they are similar but as I said Neal Boortz can explain it better. ) The problem facing us is the inertia of the politician or maybe the ill will of these politicians, a fair tax would diminish the power of the government, or, read the politicians. For us this is a plus, for them a negative. The people would control the purse strings, not the yo-yos in Washington, we need this.
To start, when you get questioned about your opinion make certain that you state positively you are in favor of those politicians who favor the flat tax. In the state primaries vote for those candidates who are on board, and above all let them know why you have voted this way. They will get the message. Only a swelling grass roots movement can bring about this change. It is up to us.
In later blogs I will refer to the flat tax because this tax has an effect on many issues, so hang on and stay tuned in. See you next time.

Remember our brave heroes in harms way and pray for their safety.
GOD Bless.
