What is the problem? He has consistantly failed for 25 years, and almost destroyed this country. When are you people going to stop re-electing the same old failed politicians? Lets see everybody add " never re-elect ANY incumbent" to every post until it happens in 2010, and EVERY single failed politician loses his FAILED seat.

The US only has 300 million people so this means we need to tax everyone not just people who work. Where the government finds these people is beyond me. Also what is $150 billion when we are trillions in the hole? This insanity has got to end before we all go broke. The line $500 per capita would raise $150 billion dollars is a joke.

We are wimps. When Congress talked about cracking down on illegal aliens the hispanics took to the street and protested. What happened? The proposal died even though most Americans supported it. Perhaps we need to take to the streets, block traffic, and fly Mexican flags. Maybe Congress will listen then. You know what? We are wimps.

People are not showing they're disgust of needless governance! Or aren't showing it LOUD ENOUGH! Yep, convince the vulnerable once again it's the man that does for himself who is at fault. The man who stole nothing from anyone. And again, Obama looks that much better. Hmmm, what crisis will they feed us this time? Save us, mr. president, save us from the wealthy, honest people who do for themselves! Please don't force that freedom on us! Let the rich, tax free drug dealers have theirs, let the government corruption continue, just save us from those men that stole nothing, those who do for themselves, those who are honest.

Term limits must be enacted and politicians called to task for their failure to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America". My oath included against "all enemies foreign and domestic" which unfortunately has come to include the domestic enemies in Congress and the Senate as well as the White House. Freedom now!!

The TAX Foundation collected stats from the IRS that show for the year 2006 there were just under 4 million tax payers that made more the $200,000.00 per year. If you do some fairly simple calculations you can figure out that if you take every dime these people make the govenrment would collect another 500 billion in taxes. The point being there are not enought people in this country to tax to pay for the spending Obama wants!!!! If they persist with their tax plans, who is going to start the businesses that hire people? Why can we not deal with real numbers??!!!.

That is, the cash they are stealing from us. Government cannot and will not heal itself. The one force that still holds the power in this country can only do it. “We the People”. That power is being taken away daily and it won't be long before we no longer have the power of “We the People”. I believe the time has past for talk and symbolic protests like the Tea Parties. Although they are a start, we need to mobilize a real effort to stem the tide of socialism that is being thrust upon us. The socialized liberals are not talking and making symbolic gestures, they are stealing our freedoms and making laws at an alarming rate. If we truly believe in the Constitution and in the fight our forefathers fought to give this country it's Freedom and Liberty than we must not be complacent, or any less aggressive at preserving those rights then they were. If we don't act with the same determination our forefathers did, than we disgrace them and make null all they fought and died for. We cannot and must not let that happen! We will be held accountable by future generations. What will we say when our grand kids and great grand kids ask the question! Why did you let this happen? You saw what was happening and did nothing to stop it. The Boston Tea Party was not a symbolic activity! It was a revolution where by the American people said we would rather throw our goods into the harbor, and not sell them, rather than sell them and have to pay taxes to an oppressive government, thus cutting off the life blood. Even though it meant they would sacrifice income to support themselves. That is the kind of belief, bravery and tenacity it took to stop the tyranny then, and it will take no less effort and fortitude to stop it today. I obviously believe we need to cut off the governments source of power by withholding taxes, but there is a way it can be done without the government being able to stop it. Like our forefathers knew, the government cannot force us to open our business. They cannot put us in jail for not selling our products in effect throwing them into the harbor. It has been said over and over that small businesses in this country are its backbone. If that's true, it's time to get America’s backbone back. We have been treated like the assholes long enough. We don't even need a majority to accomplish this task. Can you imagine if we could rally 100,000 small businesses in this country to close their doors every Monday? How about 500,000? No sales tax, no income tax, no payroll tax, no VAT and on and on. If Monday doesn't get their attention then Monday and Tuesday? And so on. Even 50,000 would make a huge impact. This would be the kind of movement our forefathers would have made. This is the kind of belief and fortitude that our forefathers and the future generations would be proud of. This is the kind of tenacity that made America Great! I have been trying to get people to understand the power we have as Americans when work together as a team. T.E.A.M. meaning T.ogether E.veryone A.chieves M.ore! We need a T.E.A.M America!!!!!!! We must regain our position as the backbone of this once great nation or forever be it's asshole. I remember this great story about who needs to be the boss: When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be the boss. The brain said, "since I control everything and do all the thinking, I should be the boss." The feet said, "since I carry man where he wants to go and get him in position to do what the brain wants, then I should be the boss." The hands said, "since I must do all the work and earn all the money to keep the rest of you going, I should be the boss." And so it went with the eyes, the heart, the lungs, and all the other parts of the body, each giving the reason why they should be the boss. Finally, the asshole spoke up and said it was going to be the boss. All the other parts laughed and laughed at the idea of the asshole being the boss. The asshole got so angry that he blocked himself off and refused to function. Soon the brain was feverish and could barely think, the feet felt like lead weights and was almost too weak to drag the body anywhere, the eyes grew bleary, and the hands hung useless at the sides. All pleaded with the brain to let the asshole be declared the boss. As the great philosopher Hillel wrote: If not now when, if not us who? I am but one small person who is trying to inspire us to greatness for the good of our Nation. If we believe in the Constitution, Freedom, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, which is, what our forefathers fought and died for, then we own it them and to the future generations to stand up boldly, and say enough is enough. Every day we stand in complacency, every day we try to send a symbolic message, every day we try to fight this battle on their turf we lose. We lose credibility and freedoms. Government will never heal itself; only We the People can stop this insanity. I pray there are still enough Americans left (on the right) that are willing to fight on the side of Freedom, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness in the country, and save it from this tyranny. Please! Help me get the word out for real Americans to once again be part of the great T.E.A.M. America!
