April 15th - Not Now I'm Busy

If you are like most people, you dread today. I have already filed my taxes and received my returns. And you?

Of course, this would just be another day if we could get the FairTax passed. Millions of Americans are stressing out over their returns today because government officials are very afraid of losing control.

The world elitist or leftist or whatever you wish to call them are counting the days until they can elect a Democratic President to more firmly entrench US citizens (for whom the government is supposed to belong not control) further into a socialist society.

Better answers are out there but our government is not ready to change. Their pockets are getting too full from the big money they send home. Many set up fake organizations that funnel money to other organizations that pay big dollars to keep elected officials in power. A few have become leeches on our society and would spoil our lives just for more power.

Okay, maybe I am ranting a little here. It could be that I am a bitter, gun-loving, faith-filled person. Right Mr. Obama?

Or it could be that I really do love my country enough to see that we are on a slippery slope that leads to quick sand.

There are plenty of answers to help our poor. There are plenty of answers to restore economic aid to our starving economy.

Democrats believe that the answer comes from throwing more money at problems. Their biggest talking point is that "we do not fund that enough." The sad part is that the Republicans are piping the same statements but on different venues.

This is the way I see it:

• We need to care for our national security. We do this by keeping rogue terrorist at bay and equipping and staffing our military so that it can get the job done.
  
• We need to overhaul our tax system so that our jobs and corporations stop leaving for less tax burdens countries. We do this by passing the FairTax.
  
• We need to provide for better health care justice so that our doctors are not overburdened with malpractice insurance. We do this by putting caps on frivolous lawsuits, encouraging mediation, and learning that sometimes people err.
  
• We need to stimulate plans that help the poor to save money with tax free investments that they can use for education, health care, or other immediate needs. We do this by creating a supplement for low cost insurance for those who make a under certain amount per year.
  
• We need the federal government to get itself out of education. We do this buy eliminating the office of national education and replacing it with an office that only suggests educational guidelines and does not preach its own agenda. It will not have voice in the working of the local systems. Let the local systems govern themselves.
  
• We need God in America again (enough of this stupid false debate about God not being allowed in government). We do this by understanding that our founding fathers never intended for people to check their faith at the door. We do this by understanding that a ill-informed supreme court justice made a very bad decision when he concocted that God was not appropriate in the schools or other government facilities. We cannot continue if we leave God out of our decisions.
  
• We need good immigration laws and to be more caring to those who have braved breaking the law just so their families back home can eat through the year. We do this be creating a better way for workers to come and be productive in our society (the FairTax insures that they pay taxes). We do this by giving a one year amnesty to productive members of established aliens. We give others six months to leave before we begin busing them to the border which will be secured completely. Once across the border they will be on their own.
  
• We need to better care for our country's environmental issues but not at the cost of taking the land of individuals. We can reform our thinking about how environmental issues effect our land, our animals, and our people. We do this by becoming less oil depended. We do this by increasing fines for those who litter and forcing them to work weekends to clean up trash along the highways, streams, and other littered areas. We do this by by understanding good conservation methods and rewarding areas who work hard to provide recycling facilities.

So I am not a policy maker. I do have my own opinion and I stick to it. Have fun filing today.
