When will the American people wakeup?

Question

We need to protect our countries sovereignty. We need to stop the influx of illegals coming across the border. We need to stop industry from shipping our jobs overseas. American made products keep Americans employed, buy American made products whenever possible if you want your children to have a future. We need to oust the government in power. Wakeup people and see where our country is headed.

Answer 1

Hopefully before elections. Many of the political people running for office right now are supporting and encouraging the influx of illegal aliens by not doing something to stop them and by providing benefits and privileges for them. Be careful however of what you read in their web sites; they have a tendency to talk around the issue or shade the facts. Do not decide your vote on what they say today but what they said and did in the past. Go back to their voting record and to the issue they were voting for. Remember many issues fail in the Senate and Congress not on their own merits but the things that were attached to the bill that may have noting at all to do with it. Political people like to say a person voted against certain bills but they never say why. It was most likely because a rider attached to the bill that resulted in a good bill being killed because of a bad rider. Important bills (such as the war, immigration and health care) should have no riders at all attached. Attaching riders results in more debate and less chance of it being passed on its own merits. Those are the things that killed the last immigration bill and the Children Health Care bill. Both bills made benefits and special privileges for illegal aliens. Look at the persons voting record and look at how they voted on the bill then decide if the person running for office is worth your vote!

Answer 2

Kick out your Senator or Congressman, and Demand that whoever you vote in take an oath not to recieve special interest $.

Answer 3

I agree - It is interesting though that the illegals come into our country, demand special privileges, march against us, degrade our flag, boycott business that are not employee the illegals and we just sit back and watch it on the news. Buying American is great, arguing against amnesty is great, telling our legislators to fix the problem is great, but is any of it getting us anywhere? We need to take action yourself. We need to boycott business that employee illegals (Not legal but ILLEGALS) and we need to demand the removal of public officers (elected and appointed) who allow illegals special privileges and undeserving benefits (such as drivers license, free medical assistance, schooling, etc.) We complain about increasing taxes; a tremendous amount of our taxes goes to illegal aliens. We complain about fuel shortages; an estimated 12 millions of gas a year is used by illegal aliens in this country; the amount of fuel oil they use has not been calculated). The American tax payer is continually being taxed for more to support the growing number of illegals while our government fails to fix the problem. Many of our elected officials agree the illegals need to be removed and our borders better protected. Others want to take the easy way out and give the illegals amnesty so we LOOK OKAY (that does not fix the problem, just colors over it).  Too many politicians are backed by people who are benefiting from the illegals; business that employee them (these are the business we need to boycott).Elections are coming up - look at the records of those running for office and reject those who have supported illegal entry into the United States. Giuliani allowed the illegals to live and work in New York City as long as they did not cause trouble (he got the crime stats down because he ignored the illegals); Hillary voted to give them free medical care and wanted to give amnesty to the illegals so the problem would go away. These are the people who want to run our country; run it into the ground like the countries the illegals are coming from! U.S. citizens and legal immigrants need to boycott ANY business, regardless of the size, who knowingly employee or support illegal aliens! If your gas station is employing illegals but gas elsewhere, if the grocery store is using illegals go elsewhere, if the manufacturing plant is using illegals don’t buy the product they manufacture. If your political representatives are supporting illegal aliens get them out of office!  If taking action seems difficult now you will shudder at what tomorrow will bring if we do not fix this problem now!

Answer 4

Our country's sovereignty isn't in danger it's just constantly up for sale.

Free enterprise/capitalism knows no borders as long as there is cheaper raw matertials & labor beyond our borders.

Ousting the government in power is what we are supposed to do every four years if they are not doing the will of the people.

The only way to correct what has been allow to happen is to affect a trade embargo, until the products meet all of our Trade requirements, health standards, and ecological requirements.

If we would enforce the standards in place with these concepts it would greatly balance the trade deficit, upgrade foriegn worksmanship & materials, and lastly make it economically feasable to pay a decent wage to an American worker, so you would not have a need for a cheap ( immigrant ) labor force.

Your preaching to the masses that understand a lot of this and it symptoms. You need to preach to the un-informed that dont have a clue as to why this is happening.

Answer 5

We only ship cr*ppy  jobs overseaas.

And Americans won't do the cr*ppy jobs we have left, which is why there is a problem at the border.

It is not so much that products are American mad e - few are 100% that way - but that American companies reap the benefits of their expertise in managing the entire process while others do the grunt work. That is what works in any modern economy, and believe it or not, we are still best at that and all innovation!

Anyone doing a job that could be outsourced is a drain on the economy, not a plus!

Answer 6

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

       This is quoted from the American Declaration of Independence.

We need a new political party! We need a party that works for the regular Americans like customer service in a department store, for the little guys like you and me. Our government treats us worse than they treat third world refugees, look at the Tsunami and New Orleans after the hurricane.

We had people on the ground 18 hrs after the Tsunami, on the other side of the world! New Orleans, it took 36hrs for help to get started! FEMA held the Navy off, with the Navy being ready and on the backside of the storm. While FEMA's head man is asking " Do these clothes make me look fat?". Our political system is a disgrace, not one man, ALL OF THEM! No Senator, no Representative,  no elected official of any kind came to the aid of the storm victims  in anything that can be described as a timely fashion!

We now work our brains out at low level jobs because the flim flam men politicians have rewritten the laws to corkscrew us and sent our good jobs abroad. They gave away our tax money to foreigners that built their factories with our tax money. This has to stop, it doesn’t work for America, it robs us and our children of our future.

The National Income Party :

America could conquer the world. Not with warring, but with such overwhelming wealth that the whole world would l**k our boots to get our help for themselves. I can make a provable, tangible, graphable outline for doing this.

    First someone like me would have to the President. I say that because I'm the kind of man that can't be knuckled under, I’m iron willed, with determination to spare, I don't take you can't do that and just quit, and no matter how hard the job is I never stop short.   I’m a working class man, I came up doing body work, so I know how to fix the tangled mess others have made.

    As President, this being THE most powerful position in the world, I would go completely around the flim flam men in the Senate and the House. I would use the Executive Order and write the checks to get what needs to be done so they happen ASAP! The treasury is in the executive branch and Lincoln wrote checks to get things done, so I would do the same.

    By Executive Order, I would start with fixing the governments money problems and getting the citizens tax problems solved. Then I would stop the foreign companies that cheat the US out their share of taxes, and make a loophole free way to collect every penny they owe.

    Next would come the illegals, I'd get them all registered, employed, and put them on the tax roles not us. We need the illegals paying taxes because there's just not enough Gen Xer's to pay the SS for the Boomers and Gen Xer's.

    I'd make millions of high wage jobs with renewable power plant construction,  renewable power would be a priority. I'd build so much clean power we would have power in overabundance, and we could supply the whole world with clean US made power. 1/3 of the money from the foreign power bills would be put into a fund and every head of household would get a paycheck and NO tax bill!

    To continue doing this would make a book so I'm going to outline what’s to be:

1st90 days by Executive Order

Establish Earth Rights for all of America like in Alaska

Make foreign tax cheats pay, tariff goods @retail every container

End income taxes; fund the Gov the right way, not on our backs

End tax paper work for the citizens, not business

End all welfare programs, high wage work instead of welfare, save the money

Balance the budget, officials are not paid till it’s done

Regular people for elected officials, no lawyers or rich with only 2 terms

End lobbyists, take the money out of politics

Make all graft illegal, have mandatory jail time

Close the DOE, save the money

Take the Gov out of the schools, PTA run schools, save money

Set Iraq’s oil to pay for the war, make an exit plan with the military

Prisoners work for the jail costs, not us, save the money

Register the illegals, put them to work and on the tax roles, not us

Private SS accounts, makes us millionaires, no government access to the money

After90 days by Executive Order

Build renewable power, make millions of high wage jobs

Build electric powered roads, make  more millions of high wage jobs

Thousands of jobs building electric cars &trucks

End our dependence on foreign oil

Clean the polluted water with clean electric power

Build a fund from foreign power bills like Alaska uses to PAY us

End Nuclear power

Return America to 50% of world’s economy

      The Alaska state constitution claims common heritage rights of ownership of oil and other minerals for the people of the state as a whole. Citizen dividend checks are distributed every year in Alaska out of the interest payments to an oil royalties deposit account called the Alaska Permanent Fund (APF) created in 1976 after oil was discovered on the North Slope. The APF is a public trust fund - a diversified stock, bond and real estate portfolio - into which are deposited the oil royalties received from the corporations which extract the oil from the lands of Alaska. The first citizen dividend check from the interest of the APF was issued in 1982 and was for $1000 per every person for everyone in Alaska who had resided in the state for at least one year. Annual citizen dividends have been issued every year since then, for a total of more than $23,000 per person.

      In 2003, each of the nearly 600,000 Alaska US citizens (residents of Alaska for at least one year) received a check for $1,107 from the APF. The total amount dispersed was $663.2 million. The $25 billion investment fund's core experienced stock market losses which led to the dividend's decline this past year compared to the several previous years. The amount was $433 less, a 28 percent drop from the 2002 pay out of $1,540, and a 44 percent decrease from the all-time high of $1,964 in year 2000. The amount changes based on a five-year average of APF investment income derived from the bonds, stock dividends, real estate and other investments.

     Alaska relies on oil for about 80 percent of its revenue and has no sales or income tax. Alaska state government is mandated to invest 25% of its oil revenue into the APF while the other 75% of oil royalty revenue is dispersed to other government funds to finance education, infrastructure and social services. If 100% of Alaska's oil royalties had been deposited into the APF, it is conceivable that the CD this year could have been about $4,400 or $17,600 for a family of four. But then there would have been no funds for roads, education and other public services and no funds available to run the state legislature - a libertarian dream fulfillment or a social and economic disaster, which one we will never know. If state services were to have been maintained while 100% of oil royalties were deposited in the APF, there would of course have been the need for income, sales and other taxes on wages and production.

     Alaska uses Earth Rights to pay about $1000 p/yr and not tax their residents. With all 50 states my fed government could pay $50,000 p/yr, NO TAXES, and fund the government!

      The foreign tariff money, the illegals taxes, and earth rights money pays all the government expenses, funds the military better than now, and pays down the national debt with NO deficit.

The Renewable power fund would pay what I call a National Income Program, and when the fund matures in about 30 years, would pay about another $50,000 p/yr.

      So $50,000 p/yr from the Earth Rights and NO taxes. Millions of high wage power plant construction jobs, we would need to build 5000 power plants just to start, and continue to build for many years to come.

      Then make millions more high wage jobs to build new electric powered roads to use the clean power. Make thousands of high wage jobs to build electric cars and trucks that use the clean cheap power from the new electric powered roads.

Foreign oil dependence would end! The Arabs could drink their oil, we don’t need it any more. The oil money that funds the terrorists would dry up, and terrorism would strangle, then die. Domestic oil production would supply all our needs.

      Then comes the $50,000 p/yr from the National Income Program, with the Earth Rights money my government could then  pay every household $100,000p/yr, all with no income taxes.

The private SS accounts would have about a $1,000,000 in them for your retirement, after  a working career. The rich make fortunes by building money in funds just this same way, so what works for the rich, will work for the nation.

      This builds America to be 300,000,000 millionaires. The money would be passed to your Aires and NO INCOME TAXES. Each new generation would be richer than their forebears. Soon newborns would be born millionaires, and the system would continue to multiply their wealth for each next generation.

      America would be so wealthy that soon we would be the envy of the world, and people from around the world would l**k our boots for us to help them get where we would be. America rules the world with wealth and prosperity, not war.

     With stable third world power comes jobs, with jobs comes prosperity. Prosperity makes life comfortable, with comfort comes contentment. Contentment would bring peace, and war would be a thing of the past. If someone for some strange reason wanted start a war we could just stop beaming them power.

     Electric power can be beamed on a microwave inside a laser beam to a satellite and put anywhere it's needed on the earth! So cut the beam and no power. It's hard to ,fight a war with no lights or power. America controls the power!

      The renewable power is fuel-less so it's cheap clean power! It’s without the inflation of fuel costs, so the price would remain stable.

I grew up loving to watch Super Man as a kid, he made a lasting impression on me. I’ve lived my life by his motto “ Truth, Justice, and the American Way!”, it still rings in my ears today as it did when I was a child. I want to bring this to America’s government, and drive out the flim flam men! I want America to BE the shining example all the world wishes to emulate.

The Flim Flam Men:

They make speeches about they must have taxes, and every politician knows what is being done in Alaska. Alaska PAYS all their residents with earth rights and doesn’t tax their residents. This makes all the politicians liars!

They make speeches to get elected and make promises about what they will do for us. They say nothing about getting every dime of lobby money to do what big biz wants that’s opposite what they promised you. That makes them all cheats!

They stole your grandmother’s retirement money from SS and left them living on a pittance compared to what they were due. Now you face getting nothing for your SS payments. That makes them all thieves!

They tax us, but they know the foreign companies pay no taxes on the goods they sell here. The goods are sold then bought on paper in a foreign port to skate the tax laws. Thus eliminating their profit on paper to cheat the US out of the taxes they owe. This makes them all backstabbers!

They take lobby money to put earmarks and pork in every law that passes their desk. Then they do photo ops, and news clips to promote themselves as doing something good for us and America. So they all corkscrew us!

They make back room deals and give our tax money to foreigners who build factories with our money. Then they take campaign donations from those foreigners and write laws that send our jobs overseas. This makes them all dirty dealers!

So lets total all this up. They lie, cheat, steal, backstab, corkscrew, and dirty deal. h**l their Flim Flam Men! Just like in the George C. Scott movie “ The Flim Flam Man”! They are called the “ Honorable” Senator or Representative. h**l Flim Flam Men have NO honor what so ever! They’re crooks, criminals for God’s sake!

The BBC has film of ALL of them going in and out of Abramoff’s restaurant. That was THE place in DC to get loaded with lobby money. The BBC has been running this story, and trying to get the US media to run it too. The US media refuses to run the story.

We are all slaves, we own nothing! Even if you paid off the bank, try not paying the extortion tax, and the government takes your house. Try not paying the income extortion tax, and you go to jail. You can’t even run away like the slaves of old. The government will hunt you down, and you got to jail.

What’s the difference? You pay with your work, or you work to pay. We are slaves, the smoke and mirrors propaganda hides the truth from us. Da masser geds his’uns pound a flesh. Sucks! Doesn’t it?

It’s time to take America back! Get registered! VOTE! Vote for anyone that’s not a Democrat or a Republican. They have ALL the power and ALL the control. They must bear ALL the responsibility for their gross mismanagement and abysmally poor judgment! It’s time to put THEM in the unemployment line!

      If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents, he would promise them missionaries for dinner.

         Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)

CAPITAL, n. The seat of misgovernment. That which provides the fire, the pot, the dinner, the table and the knife and fork for the anarchist; the part of the repast that himself supplies is the disgrace before meat.

       Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

     Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.

      George Orwell

     To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

     Thomas Jefferson

A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle; and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.

      George William Curtis

      America is much more than a geographical fact. It is a political and moral fact - the first community in which men set out in principle to institutionalize freedom, responsible government, and human equality.

       Adlai Stevenson

Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.

        Dwight D. Eisenhower

The universe grows smaller every day. The treat to security by any group, anywhere can no longer be tolerated. There must be security for all, or none are secure! This requires giving up no freedoms, except the freedom to act irresponsibly!

Klaatu

      He loves his country best who strives to make it best.

        Robert Green Ingersoll

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.

         Abraham Lincoln

A man's feet must be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world.

          George Santayana

        Some men see things as they are and say, "Why?" I dream of things that never were and say, "Why not?"

         George Bernard Shaw

        I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.

            Abraham Lincoln

   A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.

             Edward Abbey

    The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

             Edmund Burke 1729-1797

     This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in.

            Theodore Roosevelt

     I believe in America because we have great dreams - and because we have the opportunity to make those dreams come true.

           Wendell L. Wilkie

           The strength of a civilization is not measured by it’s ability to fight wars, but rather by it’s ability to prevent them.

           Gene Roddenbery

If our forefathers were alive today they would lay siege to DC. They would tar and feather all the politicians and then hang them right on the steps of the capitol buildings. They would leave them there for all to see what happens to those flim flam man politicians that corkscrew Americans.

It’s time to put all of America to work for all Americans. When America leads the way to such overwhelming wealth the world will follow. Prosperity here will breed more prosperity world wide as stable clean cheap power becomes available to all the world. This brings jobs and stability to the third world. The jobs and stability will bring peace, and then we have a fighting chance for “ Peace on Earth”!

Join me in the one real true fight for all mankind, a stable world with “ Peace on Earth”!

I’ve made a very strong case for being able to do what I’ve said needs to be done. I think our founding fathers would be proud of these things being done for America. I believe I’m the man who can do just that, because I believe in doing them 100%,  without any doubt!
