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.

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 equates to 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!

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these
taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the
most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no
national debt, had the largest middle class in the
world, and Mom stayed home to raise the
kids. What in the hell happened? Can you spell
politicians?
