Interesting... huh?!“ We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,[note 1] promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. ”
So get a little copy of the U. S. Constitution and crack it, like I did...You are in
for some funnery. Get with the printed word...Teach yourself the legacy
of the government our founding fathers & mothers left us with. We have
a document handed down in its original form for more than 200 years.
It is worth reading...All our government's laws use it in addition to "English Common Law". More folks should read the Constitution...Before you dump
all over our history, find out the wealth and stories it contains...
I am tired of "rubes and goobs" spouting mess--having never read about the actual times and stories of what happened... Then we have to vote them out again and elect someone intelligent...We were one of the last large powers of
the world to get a "social security system". Medicare and Medicaid were
approved with the sweat and toil of our fathers & grandfathers who really
benefitted from it. We will all be older someday and need to benefit from
our labors. We need to keep the system solvent and the way to do it is
to raise payroll taxes periodically. "You don't get free food unless you rob cheese from a mousetrap..." goes an eastern european saying.
So, you see what I am getting at--if you are not some sort of "rube or goob". Social Security,etc. is money hard-earned and you will need it in the future. So, for goodness sakes, don't vote for idiots who won't safeguard the future security of our social security, medicare, & medicaid system. Remember what they do and vote progressive in 2012. Nine times out of ten, that means
vote Democratic. There are a few good independents out there. One is
named Barney Frank.
There is no sense in negating decades of history
because of some GOP stock market whims. Social Security should NEVER
be backed up by the stock market. You see what may happen in the stock
market since 2007, especially... Our taxes go for great things. There is no
such thing as "sovereign citizenship". All of us must pay taxes for the support
of the government. We obey the laws of the land. We protest the laws we
don't like and get them changed. We tough it out and pay our taxes like good citizens. That is patriotism, in a simple way, when we pay our fair share.
