Of late, massive dysfunction has become the chief product of our federal government. The government of Washington DC is failing miserably in all it's duties from writing and passing a national budget, conducting political business within the rules of the Constitution, managing foreign affairs, or spending the PEOPLES money with restraint. The big wigs of Capital Hill, The White House, and The Supreme Court have proven incredibly incompetent and more committed to ideologies than the best interests of the people.
The Republican and Democratic political parties have become so star struck with the power and awe of public office they routinely prostitute themselves to lobbyists, unions, big donors, and the major media-entertainment outlets. They unashamedly sell their souls and principles for re election donations, and thereafter puppet their donors causes. It appears the chief aspiration of most politicians is to gather enough money, sponsors, and political pals necessary to get re elected for decades. And nepotism has again become fashionable in the nations capital. Public office should not be the birth right of every Kennedy, Bush, Clinton or Obama family member coming of age. Washington DC has become a bastion of elites who exempt themselves from many of the laws pushed on overtaxed citizens. The nobles of DC enjoy superior pay, perks, political favors, job security, job benefits, and promotional opportunities while the majority of other Americans struggle with family budgets, job security, health care insurance, and lives filled with government intrusion.
This coalition of DC tyrants has a very active base of brainless voters and illegal aliens who surrendered their personal dignity many years ago in exchange for government handouts. From the early parts of the twentieth century social progressives decided it was their sacred duty to guide the "great unwashed" to a better life by stealing (over taxing) from the citizens who produced the wealth of the nation. To accomplish this lofty goal the elitist "do gooders" convinced the national government to sponsor an alphabet soup of social programs. All of this socialism was billed to the productive working classes in the form of taxes and fees. From rewarding unwed mothers with money, handing out free telephones, providing free government housing, free condoms, printing billions of poorly policed food stamps, building government bureaucracies to mismanage education and health care, to smothering the free market with asinine regulations, the government of Washington has almost destroyed the greatest economy and society in the history of the planet.
However, I am not talking about social security recipients who suffered years and years of involuntary automatic payroll deductions. Nor, am I talking of those unfortunate citizens deprived of the necessary physical or intellectual abilities to maintain gainful employment. Finally, I exempt, members of our military and public safety sectors who deserve whatever pensions or disability payments they earned in service to their country and community. These groups deserve government stipends because they paid into the system with their hard work, natural disabilities, or job related injuries and disabilities.
The scourge of our nation has been a crooked political class giving away the nations wealth to greedy unions and able bodied lazy people in return for their votes. The biggest problem is in the mega urban areas teeming with unions and politicians who believe their mandate is to tax the rich and provide the unworthy a lifetime dole in exchange for a guaranteed vote. If this pattern is not changed America will soon erupt in a full on civil war because workers have become alert and angry over the injustices. The few remaining wealth producers have become weary of politicians using their money to buy votes from the lazy.
I PROPOSE SOME REALLY BIG CHANGES TO SAVE AMERICA :
1. Do not re elect ANY incumbents to the Senate or House of Representatives in 2014 or 2016.
2. Adopt immediate legislation to establish term limits for all legislators, supreme court justices, and members of the executive branch to only one term of six years. Skip a cycle before any re election.
3. Adopt a pay plan for all legislators which bases pay on the achievement of clearly defined goals in legislative and budgetary matters, eg. pass a balanced budget by the end of the FY or forfeit 1% of your pay for each weeks delay, etc.
4. Require the three branches of the federal government to pass no laws, proclamations, or rulings unless they apply equally to all citizens, including themselves and all government employees.
5. Increase our military forces and construct a totally secure perimeter at our southern borders. Allow no more illegal aliens into the country and fairly adjudicate the cases of those already in country.
6. Establish a standing permanent committee of non government executives to review all federal government agencies to insure they have a legitimate mission that serves the population at reasonable costs.
7. Prohibit any former POTUS, congressperson or Supreme Court Justice from any lobbyist group involved in federal contracts.
8. Close Washington DC as the working capital of the United States. Maintain DC as a free National Museum. However, allow the Pentagon to remain the nations military headquarters.
9. Move the working capital of the nation to cities in "fly over" country. Cities such as St. Louis, Kansas City or Omaha. Perhaps designate separate cities as headquarters for each branch of the government.
10.Reduce the number and length of holidays for presidents and legislators and require their families move to the new capital city as their chief residence during the six year term.
11 Close the IRS and institute a less complicated and fair system of taxing citizens and companies.
12. Shut down the Department of Education and divide all its funding and resources proportionately to the management of the State and US Territory Departments of Education.
13. Prohibit and disband unions in every agency, department or branch of the federal government that relies on taxpayer funding.
I am confident there are many other initiatives worthy of consideration to effect a reform to our nations government. Whether the new political parties are called, "Chickens", "Constitutionalists", "Tea Party Americans", "Whigs", "Libertarians", "Goths", or "Cougars", we must part ways with the do nothing political clubs of Democrats and Republicans. Over the last few decades these parties have divided our citizens, wasted trillions of dollars, and abandoned the common sense and fairness provided by our Constitution.
