Dear Congresswoman Markey,
I want to thank you for opposing the push in D.C. to eliminate our health care choices. Please continue to oppose the passage of any health care reform that increases government involvement in our health care. The only possible solution would be a bill that decreases Federal involvement and increases competition between health insurers/providers.
BTW, the government should never be an insurer/provider. That, as I'm sure you are aware, presents a huge conflict of interest. No one will vote against their "provider"; that path is nothing more than bribery.
It isn't difficult to see the trend in our country that shows wherever more government involvement is applied, costs tend to skyrocket. It is also easy to see that as unchecked government spending continues to drastically devalue our dollar, prices will appropriately increase; only because the dollar is worth less every day.
It is the opinion of myself and many other Americans that the biggest issue in our country is not health care or any other hot-button pushed by the press or debated on the House Floor. The real problem in D.C. is much more systemic. It is is our monetary system and the ability of the Federal Reserve to create money to feed the appetites of D.C. without the painful, unpopular need for Congress to levy taxes for their pet projects. It is money for nothing, or theft, as I prefer to call it.
Once again, please oppose the Obama health care bill and continue in your support for HR 1207 "Audit the Fed".
Thank you for your time and service,
Pete

Money Troubles
Why is there a problem with Social Security? Because there is Social Security.
Why is there SS ID theft? Because there are Social Security numbers.
Why is there a problem with Medicare? Because there is Medicare.
Why are there problems with nearly every single government program and department? Because there are government programs and departments.
Saying that the problems in Government are not the Government's fault is like saying the cancer in a smoker's lungs is not his fault. Government created the failure by creating the program, the smoker created the cancer by smoking the cigarette. If the road that was planned, contracted, and built by Government fails it is the Government's fault. It is not the fault of the taxpayer or the user, nor is it the fault of the contractor that built it. The Government chose to build the road with the people and money it selected, no one forced them to action. The failure is Government's fault. We can trace the failure we see today in steps and leaps taken over scores of years. Create a program that fails, create a program to fix the broken program that fails, ad nauseum. So now Government is on the verge of creating the next failure to fix the failure of Medicare and the the tens of thousands of failed regulations and departments that were supposed to provide good health care to all.
Really? Is anyone buying this solution? Are we really that far gone?
Anyway, all that aside, we can trace the lion's share of the problems in Government to the creation of the Federal Reserve, the income tax, and the massive devaluation of the American dollar. It is no coincidence that the average wage for a government employee has risen to around $70K, while the average "commoner's" wage has fallen to around $40K. Despite its failures, Government always takes care of its own first.
The Federal Reserve has allowed Government to spend (more appropriately borrow) at will, without the politically inconvenient task of levying taxes from the population. So instead of paying on the front end for the doomed-to-fail program "X" with an ugly, unpopular, tax hike, we pay for it on the back end (or maybe in the back end?) with a Dollar that is worth .04 percent of what it was just 100 years ago. All while we are forced to pay taxes on our income to service the interest on the debt that Government has created through unrestrained borrowing.
The first step to solving the issues in Government is to abolish the Federal Reserve. The first step in dealing with any criminal organization is "follow the money". Don't we all know this by now? Why are we still fighting over which "Party" is worse?
A few things to note;
Nowhere in this piece do I say "our Government" because I don't, for a second, believe that it is "ours" anymore.
The usage of the word forced in regard to income tax can be read as stolen. However, everyone should pay their income tax just like anyone expected to pay protection money to the mafia should do it; they will inflict harm if compliance is not given.
Please don't think that I'm anti-tax across the board. Taxes are necessary to run a country. I am only anti-income tax. No tax should make a claim on a person's body (of which labor is a direct product, like our blood). What next? A kidney tax? After all, we don't "need" two. Oh wait, I'm sure Obama's Health Care Bill will take care of that little oversight.
Fire everyone in D.C., now.

Classic Elitists
After all, what the media says is always the unquestionable truth. Video never lies, right? Nobody cherry picks, Right?
The mainstream media is complicit.
Olbermann is an irresponsible journalist. Maybe he's only seeing what the media bothers to air. Maybe the audio feed in his ear is corrupted. Maybe his staff isn't keeping him up on events like in the case of Charles Gibson Syndrome. Maybe it isn't his fault. Most likely though, he's been bought and sold so many times that he no longer has a soul.
Anyone can spend 10 seconds on Google and refute Olbermann's claims. I guess he doesn't have access to the Internet either though; I hear MSNBC is pretty broke these day with the low ratings and all. Google for Black Conservatives. Gee Mr. Olbermann, SIR, that was really tough...
Even Beck is up on this stuff Keith. C'mon man, get a clue and share it...

New Home Sales Drop 11 Percent in January
Gee, could it be a result of the Federal Government propping up home sales with $8000 home-buyer tax credits? Perhaps they've merely pressed the "thinking about buying" person into buying something a bit earlier than they had planned. Kind of like, I don't know, like, maybe, like, the Cash for Clunkers program? Make your own determination on whether or not that was a success.
I'm convinced it wasn't one. I'd guess that some recent Toyota buyers are regretting their involvement, but that is another story altogether.
Another funny thing about a tax credit/incentive/make-us-feel-better-because-it appears-the guv-might-be-doing-something program; one needs to be paying in more than the dollar amount of the credit in taxes to get the credit back. Like the $42,000 tax credit Colorado was offering on the Tesla Roadster. The five year span allowed to take the credit only helps those who pay in at least $40,000 in state tax over that time period; not a huge cross-section of the Colorado populace... Granted, it also applies to less expensive zero-emission vehicles, but the point is easier to illustrate in the high-end.
Essentially the credit, in this case housing, is just stealing $8000 through the tax system (aka the neighbors) to buy oneself a house. Apply that logic to everything else Government does and it becomes understandable why so many of us are fed up with the Fed...

Colorado Labor Department Overwhelmed
The Colorado Labor Dept. is so overwhelmed that they are having to use tax dollars from working people to hire more help and spend more on phone lines to help the unemployed...
"Fowler says they've hired 150 people, added phone lines, added a form to get a call back, and added a new self service web page that allows a person to see the status of their claim."
WHAT?
Taste the irony...

Colorado Nazi - (Nationalizing Socialists)
Welcome to Colorado... Nazis keep our highways clean!
I'm all for free speech, I'm all for reminding the general populace that these kind of people exist; this does just that. It's my opinion that this shines a light on a fact that our government and our political correctness has tried to bury. Collectivists are out there, they are in our government, they are in our communities, they believe that they are "good people".
I think "The Talented Mr. Ripley" said it best; "Whatever you do, however terrible, however hurtful - nobody thinks that they're a bad person..."
So what's wrong with Socialism/Collectivism again? Oh that's right, it's based on using government force to steal things from one and give them to another. How silly of me to forget...
Murder is just another form of theft.
Theft is immoral, whether it is stealing lives and freedom from people that look different or if it's merely stealing liberty and income for the purposes of redistribution and "social justice". Government should never have the right to take by force. Government should never have rights that an individual doesn't possess.

Vote Them All Out

Why Do We Put Our Lives In The Hands Of Those Whose Failures Are Manifest

Why Do We Put Our Lives In The Hands Of Those Whose Failures Are Manifest
"No matter who he is, the president of the United States has far too many powers over our lives and livelihoods. So do members of Congress.
Even if the holders of these public offices were capable of correctly performing such a vast multiplicity of complex tasks, which they aren't, and even if their intentions were always honorable, which they often aren't, it is absurd that a handful of exceedingly ordinary, highly fallible people should be telling 300 million Americans what to do, say and think — and even more ridiculous that we let them."
