Public demands …

If the American population wants change in government then what change do you want to see?
This November a group of new Congress and Senator will be in office.

What changes do you want?

For example of a few simple ideas:

* I want a Bill to be passed that stops the elected President from campaigning of his party while in office?
* I want Term limits for both Congress and Senate?
* All Bills (no exception) must have 108 hours of review before any vote can be taken.
* Bill can no longer have hidden attachment with in.
example: Obamacare and the 1099 situation and Obamacare and student loans

I want to stop electing our Predators.
I want to stop the income tax.
I am only willing to pay a consumption tax. The more you consume off this planet the more you pay.
Our consumption based economy is not working we need a new one based on open trade with no Predator intervention.


"The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern. Every class is unfit to govern. The law of liberty tends to abolish the reign of race over race, of faith over faith, of class over class."

Here's another one by Acton that ties into this thread:

"Socialism means slavery."

We'll just let patriotic taxpaying citizens like you foot the bill voluntarily.

There's this thing called budget cuts. It's a new concept, I'm not surprised the liberals haven't heard of it. You could tax the entire country 60% and not only would businesses vanish even faster than they are now, the government would never have enough money to balance the budget because they are absolutely unable to cut spending. It's like a disease.

^^^I'm not sure why this notion that you have to have a government program to solve every problem continues to fester.

Keep taxes low and quit proposing new government spending. Libs like to tout Europe as a 'model'...well maybe they should note that Europe has responded to the downturn by tighteneing it's belt.

Tax cut entensions for everyone are 'off the table'....but not more programs. STOP SPENDING FIRST.

That's not going to be enough to save the country if we get rid of the national income tax....if they ever do cut it.....it will make the Great Depression look like you lost a 5 dollar bill

Today we vote in the people that can tell the best lie because if they told you the truth you wouldn't vote them in. These people are mostly financed by the big corporations and that debt must be paid back.

Our country was formed to be owned and ran by the people but the people want less government???? The real problem is who is truly running our government it's not the people or even the politicians it's the corporations.
The people have gotten lazy and don’t hold these so called leaders feet to the fire. We buy what the mainstream media and these corporate predators tell us. These predators feed off our fears and labor and that’s how they stay alive.

We live in a 3 dimensional world with two dimensional minds.

I would like Obama to be white, so that every time I criticize his ridiculous policies I won't be called a racist.

True statement. Every black person that ever criticized Bush is racist, by the same token.
