1) Why did the federal government use trillions of the people's dollars to bail out large financial and car companies, but a tiny fraction of that amount to directly help those losing their jobs and homes?
2) Why is there so much talk about lowering the deficit, but then Congress and the president agree not to do the one thing that could most accomplish that - letting the tax cuts on the wealthy expire?
3) Why do we consider corporations persons when it comes to campaign finance, but not tax them in the same way as an actual person?
4) Why do we consider corporations persons, but not subject them to the estate tax when their life is ended and their assets are transferred to another corporation?
5) Why do we consider corporations persons, but nobody goes to jail when they do atrocious and illegal acts, as an actual person would?
6) Why has it proved impossible for a climate change bill to even make it to the floor of the House or Senate?
7) Why does the wealthiest nation in the world have a transportation system that is laughably antiquated compared to other developed nations?
8) Why do the campaigns (and everyone else, for that matter) spend more time obsessing over gaffes and out-of-context quotes - which have little to do with how qualified for president someone might be - than the actual records and policy statements of the candidates?
9) Why do we continue to use an electoral system that diminsihes the voting influence of the majority of Americans and elevates the importance of a few swing states?
10) How is it possible that, after more than 1800 errors in the 2008 election, 16 states still have computer voting without any paper back-up?
Question 6 is ridiculous. Obviously there are mixed feelings throughout the world whether humans are to blame for "climate change". Yes, we obviously affect the environment, it would be impossible not to. But according to Dr. Lovelock, scientist don't have a clue what the weather is doing. And why did "global warming" turn into "climate change"? Another money making scheme!
ReplyDeleteHow do you "make" a candidate answer?
ReplyDeleteHow about, instead of the oath of office, elected federal representatives MUST answer these questions.
ReplyDeleteWhy are we buying subprime mortgages at full face value making banks 100% whole on bogus, inflated prices then sitting on the homes with plans to devalue them to less than 15% of face then sell exclusively to billionaires when 2-3 million people are homeless?
ReplyDeleteI would much rather hire homeless to fix up the homes, put them in it and issue a mortgage at face value with interest and repay the treasury and taxpayers instead of making yet another billionaire wealthier and keeping people living on the streets.
..."we" have been trying to tell "you" folks for years...it is all BS...a non-stop game of public relations and agenda...driven by greed, cover-ups and the need to perpetuate the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteI worked for the US Department of Defense for over twenty years and was a "federally-protected-whistle-blower" (Ha!) for a vast majority of that time...it is all smoke and mirrors of PR-BS that they hide from administration to the other...
As a first step, I would recommend the following:
- A National Constitutional Convention - designed to re-invigorate the original founding concepts, rights and status of American Citizens, while amending The Constitution for a 21st century America and its social realities. Additionally, the NCC will be empowered to impeach every member of the standing US Government, and will remove them from office. And by Impeach and Remove, I mean all of them. Every standing member of Congress, The Senate, The President and Vice President, and especially the Supreme Court which voted to allow and approve kidnapping and torture. All of them, gone.
- National Grand Jury – impaneled for whatever period of time is necessary to investigate and prosecute all members of government known to have violated their oaths of office, as well as committing treason, larceny and murder on an international scale, with no statute of limitations. NGJ-Citizen Investigators should be required to open up all of the American Government Archives across our entire history, and we as a people should be told the truth with regard to historic criminal activities.
- Additionally, the NGJ will be empowered to dismantle (through force if necessary) the CIA, the FBI, all “Continuity of Government” plans, operations and operatives, including the US Department of Justice, the EPA, The DoD and every other liberty-sucking parasite that still exists within our compromised government. (These entities can all be reconstructed at a later date, under more limited and ethical standards, if necessary)
- Freeze & Seize Financial Assets- Freeze and seize all financial assets of any member of government for the last forty years. All of them…seize all of their assets, and create a legal process or method for the “innocent” to get their assets returned to them (perhaps with interest). However, for the vast majority of traitorous souls who have been abusing their positions and the citizens for well over forty years…make them prove that the fortune is legally, ethically theirs; make them prove it didn’t come from decades of corrupt acts. Make them show that their ill-gotten millions in self-worth did not come from abusing their oaths or position.
- If not, just like we ordinary citizens who have tolerated our cars being impounded, our property seized and the other elements of the current two-tiered justice system, let the thieves and killers of the last forty years fight to stay out of prison, the death-chamber, or the poor house… just like the rest of us.
