American Aristocracy

"All men have the power should be distrusted to a certain extent"

Thomas Jefferson

Congressional approval ratings are embarrassingly low. They are so bad it hurts to acknowledge them. Your score is so low I doubt any of them even voted for its own quorum. President Bush's popularity was consistently about three times higher than that of Congress. To get beaten so badly George W., difficult.

There is a reason. The people have lost confidence in their ability to work consistently for our nation. The culture war between liberals and conservatives has become an endless struggle for political power. Although the two sides never cease to call for "Bi-partisan" vote after vote after the vote count right down party lines – with almost no variation! When it comes to tackle problems of people who can not seem to work together. endless finger pointing and insults across both sides of the aisle of the brand of most items. The ideas of both side are immediately objected and devalued exalted alternative plans and finally the decision will be to allocate money and form a committee to study the problem. Meanwhile, things get worse and nothing gets done.

For the moment, perhaps the real argument should not be on the increase or reduction in taxes or big government should be or small – should be focused on whether or not we have the representation of government we can trust to serve the best interests of the people. Are the leaders who are choosing there to serve the people or themselves?

The biggest scam in American history has been the development of our political aristocracy – particularly our elected representatives in Washington, DC .. These "perfumed princes and princesses" government installed above society of our food from the trough public affected by the economic peaks and valleys to their constituents have to face daily.

When the price of gasoline soared, more recently, Country had to scramble to adjust or in some cases, simply survive. But never the boys and girls in Washington was the least compression, and not have to worry about such things. When the price of a gallon of gasoline rose to nearly five dollars that does not cramp his style a bit – why?

Because our Federal politicians regardless of party affiliation, get their fuel bills paid by taxpayers. In fact, all costs of transportation is paid by, you guessed it, taxpayers. All your printing and shipping is paid (considering the advantage that it gives incumbents an choice!). Their food and entertainment that is paid. They have no office expenses such as private companies – your rent, office supplies, services, gifts, and even his personal are paid by taxpayers. But that's not enough for our ruling class. They have even voted themselves a Diem above their salaries. That is a good day cash bonus in the event that has little to do a little more entertaining. If not, get on the wallet anyway!

Thus, while the rest of our country is in a severe recession struggle to avoid another full-on depression, eating out every night the expensive restaurants and limousine ride around talking on cell phones paid for by working Americans with real jobs. They are so busy having fun that most of the work that the rest of us have to deal with daily are managed for them by their assistants. It is not uncommon for top aides to command six figure salaries – And some members of the legislature with more than a hundred helpers on the public payroll. Helpers have the top of Attendees paid by you to make your bid. Think about what your life would be like if all the tedious, mundane and unpleasant tasks were handled by you by a retinue of assistants paid by someone else.

You've heard time and again warn about the dangers of our Social Security system collapsing. Them wiggle your fingers and tell us Social Security is almost bankrupt and may not be around the next generation. A claim of his disappearance a few can reach as soon as the next decade. Some blame the "Baby Boomers." But do not be fooled by all their hand wringing. His claim of concern to us is just a smokescreen to hide their shenanigans.

They have been very diligent in taking SSI paychecks throughout the world for more half a century however, claim the fund is virtually bankrupt. How did that happen? Are you ready? I borrowed! This is absolutely true. Our real political aristocracy called for his retirement (future) to fund its current and pet projects to buy votes. Of course they say it was necessary to change the law all by themselves so they could take our money. They insist they did everything for us – (and if you buy that I have a couple of bridges I would you sell).

The truth is that our government collects more than two hundred million dollars more per year than is paid in Social Security checks, however, we are told that the system is bankrupt. The only reason Social Security is in trouble is because our legislators have left of unconditional Penney spent every surpluses. It is outrageous that continue to spend every extra penny as they tell us that the system crash is coming. The idea that perhaps they should stop spending our staff retreat pork does not seem to have occurred to them. You see, for them, the Security surplus Social security checks is a Congress "to support their personal re-election.

The threat of crisis remain alert about not so much about you lose their retirement, since it is they lose their source of income. In three to five years, the changing demographics of our nation, finally invest surplus Social Security, and begin an annual deficit. For the first time the aging of our workforce will result in the system, taking in less than it pays. This means that there will be no surplus available for Congress to borrow. To our politicians – which is the real crisis – no more money free at the expense of your retirement. When surpluses are still pulling in a deficit which the expenditure can shut down completely – leaving your hands-generation empty and without assistance from Social Security. They have mortgaged their future to pay their bills.

What is really surprising is that our political leaders are there with a straight face and tell us who feel our pain. Although I'm not sure how - and who have created their own private retirement plan separate from Social Security. No joke, they have their own pension plan. Only for them, a plan much more generous than ours, and guess who the pay – us!

In fact, you and I have to work and contribute for many years for a small monthly Social Security check when we retire, but our legislators the right to a pension after serving a term juicy! Yes, it takes the rest of us years to get a small check, but all you have to do is get elected once for a short term and Voila! – You can live in comfort for the rest of their lives. And of course they have built in regular raises. Guess which of the retirement plans has increased more over the years? (Hint: No Social Security).

His plan is so unique generous than many of our elected officials are doing their pensions older than he ever was in office. How do you justify the double Morale is beyond me. And to make matters worse they have the arrogance to collect Social Security, in addition to their fat cat, pension funded by taxpayers! So they are covered if Social Security does not, but they are perfectly content to pick at the top of your pension if it is not.

Do not bother trying to put the blame on one political party. No matter what party they come. All of them are abandoned at our expense. When and if they decide to rely on Social Security as the rest of us and his plan to abolish gold, I'll start to believe they are sincere. If that miracle happens every time you can bet they will find a way to fix Social Security and make sure the money is there soon.

Do you see where this is going?

They do not face the same pressures as the rest of us face. They have created a culture of entitlement elitist layers of security and endless benefits. Whether the economy is up or down are so separated and isolated from the pressures of real life than ever feel. They just go on television and act as they feel. We say yes, but not true. They live in luxury, no matter what the rest of America is happening.

Ross Perot was right when he said tax dollars are politicians in Washington what the coke is kink – no matter how much you receive, never be enough. Look at his record. Each year, our leaders infidels learn more new forms of workers' taxes U.S.. That's what they do best. In fact, virtually all of his time is devoted to the creation of new taxes and have become quite adept it.

From the moment we wake in the morning until they went to bed at night you are working for the government. Most people are aware that the average American worker pays four to five months of his annual salary for the government in income taxes, but that is only a small part of their "Contribution." You are taxed without stopping at almost everything you do. As soon as you flip the first light switch or pull the string or the first of its hip car tax meter starts spinning. Not only pay tax on profits, taxes we pay when we buy staples such as food, clothing, fuel, equipment, tools, plane tickets, CDs, DVDs – even telephone and cable bills! The list goes on and on and on and on. You can bet that if something is not a tax that are working on it. Even now they are trying to find a way to tax the Internet!

  It does not stop there, either. Taxes few dollars more than once. If you invest your money after taxes and a profit taking part in that, too. They love when people work hard and save all their lives to leaving a legacy for your family – because sweeping tax that part to government coffers. No matter the taxpayer has diligently put aside funds for their future family. Congress always want "their" part. Even after you retire and start collecting safety take their social tax bite this. The real tragedy is that he believes his tax money actually belongs to them and whatever their circumstances of life that you expect and any other American worker to cough.

Our politicians are addicted to their bad dose will stop at almost nothing to get it. Consider for a moment how they have enabled the IRS to destroy your life if you do not (or can not) meet. Although most Americans fear an audit by the IRS over being assaulted, it seems our politicians do not. Charlie Rangel, Means of the House Ways and Means Committee Chairman, was recently arrested for not paying taxes in one of his rental properties. Now, one might think that, as chairman of the committee drafting chief prosecutor in Washington, DC, which was to the law, but obviously I do not know. He pleaded ignorance. No big deal, however, when the IRS to Mr. Rangel with the bill several years of unpaid taxes, simply agreed a payment of $ 10,000 – without penalty or interest – only the single payment of $ 10,000-a very good deal, huh?

All Americans should share same rights and benefits under the law regardless of wealth or status, but how do you think would have been in the same situation? No doubt the process would have been much less simple, more time consuming and more expensive (and stressful). There should be no difference in how citizens are treated by the IRS vicious pit bulls, or not, are members of our Legislature elitist, but once again our politicians seem to take that stand apart from her right.

Contrary to its position in long-term, the main concern of these hypocrites not the welfare of its components – each Once re-elected and maintenance on the train sauce taxpayers' money. Let me emphasize this last point – Our current crops politicians are less interested in the quality of life than they themselves re-elected. How to re-elect becomes your life's purpose as soon as they are elected. You start to get used to the taxpayer-subsidized "the good life and not about to quit. The fact is that our politicians spend more time trying to get re-elected than anything else.

We have some legislators, at the moment, they have been in office as long as fifty years! A century and a half! Once they get in and get an idea of it, I will not come out. They get so many committees as you can, get cozy with pressure groups, cultivating relationships with the press and start to fatten at the public subsidy. They promote their connections and long "experience" as "internal" as the reason for its perpetual need for re-election, when in reality it is only for this reason they need to be sent home to make way for the newcomers again fresh and innovative – real American workers.

Caution: Our "Citizen government" – you know, the one created by our Fathers Founders – "the people, by the people and for the people" has been usurped and turned into a permanent haven for the "professionals" politicians. Most of these composers get a job right out of college working on a campaign team or as an assistant. Then run for public office local, then the public body and work your way up to the federal level, but never get a real job. They spend their adult life living on the public dole. No wonder they behave as if the people working are their own personal golden goose. They have never learned any better. Single Payer I've known is the American worker. Whenever you want anything all they have to do is raise taxes and take a little more your hard earned money. And if you are afraid you do not like, simply call a vote in the middle of the night when workers are asleep and will be a fact in the when he learned of the morning.

There is only one solution to this problem. The political system in place today must be replaced. The only way real change is to send home to professional politicians. We must clean house and get rid of the large number of them – regardless of their political affiliation – and replace them with American citizens who have had actual experience in the world of work.

When our Founding Fathers created our democratic republic that the government designed to consist of citizens who went to Washington DC for a temporary period office. That was the idea of having defined the terms for elected officials rather than lifetime appointments. It is the reason why members of Congress are elected for two years and six senators, presidents of four and so on. limited terms mandated regular elections "open to the people." Political citizen is supposed to 'serve' a limited amount of time – not remain permanently the accumulation of wealth by taxing workers.

Regrettably our state and local governments are typically smaller versions only the federal model. Many politicians are only federal politicians in the State training. Taxing and spending is all they know. At this time the State of California is operating without a state budget because the parasites Sacramento refuse to understand that they can not spend more than the state adopts. The Governor refuses to sign a budget unless the expenditure is correlated with what the State actually take in. The politicians refuse to cut spending they want to raise taxes. The workers are fighting not overloaded so the increase in lawmakers want to impose taxes an additional financial burden on their (your?) Future with the loan money to enable keep spending like drunken sailors to tax future generations (you). All they can think about is spending more and more. Although more and more businesses close its doors, more jobs are lost and – for the first time – more workers leaving the state against those who come. What is the response of Sacramento? The taxes high and greater regulation.

Today's political parasites can not control their addiction to our money. They have to have to buy power and influence. But What do they do for us, right? You can not turn on the news without being subjected to press conferences with politicians constantly passing bills and resolutions who do nothing for us. (Try to name the last piece of the legislature actually adopted improved your life – you can not, eh?) Our politicians sure seem busy doing a big bunch of nothing, but where are they when you really need?

Take the gasoline crisis last year – the price of oil rose to $ 200 a barrel and pump prices are approaching five dollars. Everyone was screaming about the impact on the economy. The airlines, transportation and the automotive industry is stumbling, heating oil went up, food prices are rising and consumers could not afford to fill their tanks. Our political leaders immediately jumped in front of the cameras to point fingers and blame speculators Saudis, Big Oil, Wall Street and that no one could imagine. They were "outraged" and said it was "unacceptable" (political code which means: "I want you to think I'm annoying, but I will not do anything but talk about it"). Commissions convened and appropriated millions of dollars to " study "the problem, but again failed to do.

Our politicians were helpless, but we were not. The people had handled the crisis by themselves. We drive less and buy less gas. More importantly in the peak of the crisis, people began to call for domestic drilling. As us, "the people" as amended by our consumption and required the development of our own domestic oil and gas sphincters something incredible happened deposits – began tightening throughout the Middle East and oil prices began to plummet. Fell more than 70% in four months! I repeat - the price of oil fell more than 70% in four months! The price of a barrel of oil fell to less than fifty dollars and prices pumps fell to less than two dollars, without any intervention from our government. While the professional politicians posed for television cameras and burning tax dollars "studying" the problem – people look!

Right on the heels of the gasoline crisis, our nation has experienced a financial crisis that rivals anything that has occurred in the past. What did the boys and girls in Washington do? First, "the Chicken Littles "ran screaming that the sky was falling and we were all going to die. Then he launched with giant" rescue "in 2008 and 2009 over one trillion dollars (to borrow against our future – again)! Sold it to the American people is necessary to avoid a crippling blow to the economy national. We were told we had to do to "ease the credit crunch" and get the flow of money "back to the people." Just got together and appropriated an obscene amount of capital and gave it to his friends – banks and big business. The "bailout" money is sold as a relief for "the people" was immediately used to repay bank debt and acquire the assets of their weaker competitors. In other words, they used the "ransom" money to strengthen own financial position!

What happened to the "benefits" for working Americans? What part of "rescue" money come? Have you noticed the increased availability of credit? Was it easier for you to obtain financing? Is your personal financial situation has positively impacted in any way as a result of the bailouts? Probably not, but the biggest campaign contributors they have. After all, our irresponsible politicians had to save his friends in order to be able to continue filling their campaign coffers for the upcoming elections.

After bailouts "," we did not start hearing about the "Stimulus Package." We were told that if it was not our future was in jeopardy, the economy would go down in flames without it – was our only hope (again). The problem was the "devil was in the details." The first "stimulus" attempt died when the details of the legislative "pork" (selected spending tax us all, but only benefits the constituents of specific legislation) became public domain. In our time of economic crisis to their fearless leaders had taken the outright lead by rushing to complete the project law with the estimated expenditure to be themselves look good to voters in their individual districts. It has been such that had to be scrapped and a new version.

Now we have introduced a new "stimulus" package as a way to put Americans back to work. We have sold a lot of other junk arguing that the government will "create jobs." No 'Biggie. Apparently not seem to matter that the Government can not create jobs – especially in taxing citizens working. In fact, what really was in the package of "stimulus" (1075 pages) was not relevant to our political aristocracy. The bill completed was posted at 11 pm the night before the vote. In other words – no one in the Senate or the House had time to read before the vote, but passed it anyway! Although both sides claimed to represent the "people", the passage of this bill was not for us – it was for their own political expediency. Not even seem to care what was in it. They just wanted money.

Even after passing the new one Stimulus Package seems too optimistic. The stock responded by taking a dip. Even Vice President Joe Biden gives only a seventy percent chance of work. The truth is that Most financial professionals have low expectations for success. Now money is gone and we have to pay, but where did he go? Who will something? How does affect your life?

I like the way Walter Williams, John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University, says the following:

"In the speech stimulus package, if taxes on Congress to allocate money, one person is stimulated at the expense of another who pays the tax, which is stimulated. A visual representation of the stimulus package is: Imagine you see a person at work, taking in buckets of water from the deepest part of a swimming pool and throw them in the shallow end in an attempt to make it deeper. You deem him stupid. This scenario is equivalent to what Congress and the new president proposes for the economy. "

  His latest scam is the "Omnibus" bill as another "stimulus" attempt. This time not even trying to hide pork. This time they are promoted as the prerogative of Congress. Chuck "Money" Schumer even had the nerve to defend this practice, said Americans do not really care for pork! Their political representatives are so detached from the reality of their life they call press conferences to tell how they will to put to you.

Unfortunately, robbing Peter to pay Paul, encumber future generations with huge debts, loans away our Social Security and high standard of living of our tax dollars have become institutionalized among our political elite. Is not it ironic that, although they seem pathologically impotent to solve problems facing their constituents, who always seem able to care for themselves and their friends?

Fortunately, U.S. policymakers have not always behaved this way (at least on this scale). The Founding Fathers were all real jobs. Actually working for a living. They went to Washington, served their terms and then returned home to their real jobs and let someone else serve. This is how our government is supposed to work – "The people, by the people, for the people" – the real American workers taking time out of their busy lives to act as public servants. Never There was no intention to create a political aristocracy of professional politicians whose fat lifetime income is derived from taxpayer dollars. If our parents of the country were around today would bitch slap these composers Capitol Hill to the street.

Exchange? Dispose of professional politicians.

What has been mentioned here is just the tip of the iceberg. If this abuse of taxpayers' money to politicians 'Leader' is new to you, I suggest you start checking it out for yourself. There is much more. Washington's elite have structured gifts, benefits and protections for themselves at our expense for decades and show no signs of slowing. Believe me, they have advantages in the top of the top benefits of patronage and more planned for the future.

Exchange? Get rid of professional politicians.

Depends you and your generation to put an end to this cycle of increasing abuse. Keep re-election of these representatives and you can only expect more of the same. While keep this trend is the only real change of his generation may depend on the hand is over, drain, fear-mongering, regulation and higher taxes.

Do you really want change? Get rid of professional politicians – all of them! How? Vote incumbents out. limited-term demand. Choosing a new kind of politician. Get there that have experienced representatives real world – men and women who know what it is to work to earn a living in a real job – the people who will not stay forever. Representatives who want to serve the people – not themselves. That will be a real change.
