EVERY CITIZEN NEEDS TO READ THIS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS JOURNALIST HAS
SCRIPTED IN THIS MESSAGE. READ IT
AND THEN REALLY THINK ABOUT OUR CURRENT POLITICAL DEBACLE.
Charley Reese has been a journalist for 49 years.
545 PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then
campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are
against deficits, WHY do we have
deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and
high taxes, WHY do we have
inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations.
The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court
justices 545 human beings out
of the 300 million are directly, legally,
morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague
this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was
created by the Congress. In
1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency
to a federally chartered, but
private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They
have no legal authority. They
have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one
cotton-picking thing. I don't
care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash.
The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the
lobbyist promises, it is the
legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what
they did is not their fault.
They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive
amount of gall. No normal human
being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the
President for creating deficits.
The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to
accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole
responsibility to the House of
Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who
is the speaker of the House?
Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party.
She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they
want. If the president vetoes
it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace
545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and
irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that
is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the
plain truth that 545 people
exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what
exists is what they want to
exist. If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red ...
If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ, it's because they want them in IRAQ.
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan
not available to the people, it's
because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire
and whose jobs they can abolish;
to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to
whom they give the power to regulate
and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you
into the belief that there
exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or
"politics" that prevent them from
doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone,
have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their
bosses. Provided the voters
have the gumption to manage their own employees.
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

you.

This off-topic, political post came from a member who has
a history of legitimate posts on vpFREE, and it probably
was sent to vpFREE by mistake.
There are several attempted spam posts every week on
vpFREE, but they normally come from new members (who
are moderated) and they don't go through.
