Socialism Doesn't Work Happy New Year to all member of our group!

Just last month Scientific American reported on evidence relating to why big government is not such a hot idea: http://socialismdoesntwork.com/power-corrupts-what-else-is-new/

One of the chief culprits responsible for the negative side effects (runaway spending, corruption, miss-allocation of resources) of big government...

boy howdy! Yep, so often on local newpaper blogs do they use the highway, police and fire as "socialism that works" excuse. And wonder why we are not "crying" about those. They have no understanding of the differences between socialism and infrastructures to maintain our economy like transportation.
Also: fire and police taxes are VOTED ON BY THE PEOPLE of the cities involved, not mandated through the federal government!!

On December 19, 2009, Senator Ben Nelson, democrat, from Nebraska was granted immunity by the democratic Senate leadership from Medicaid funding mandates that all other states will be required to pay in return for his vote to pass the Senate Health Reform Bill. Two weeks ago, Senator Mary Landrieu, democrat from Louisiana acquired $300,000,000.00 from the Senate democratic leadership for the State of Louisiana in return for her vote to save the Senate Health Care Reform Bill. Would you consider this blackmail, bribery, corruption at its highest level?

Certainly an option very worthy of your consideration!

And the memory of our Founding Fathers

At least read this. Form your own opinion, even if you disagree with this issue, but at least read it.. You and I owe that to our country

All I ask is that you consider the suggestion here.

The entire Congress of the United States is corrupt.. And I mean both Houses and I mean both major parties.

I realize that a few Members of each House are trustworthy, but, as a group
they are absolutely the most corrupt bunch to ever disgrace our Nation.

In November of 2010 the entire House of Representatives will stand for re-election;

all 435 of them. One third of the Senate, a total of 33 of them, will also stand for re-election.

Vote every incumbent out.
And I mean every one of them. No matter their Party affiliation.

Let's start all over in the House of Representatives with 435 people who have absolutely no experience in running that body, with no political favors owed to anyone but their own constituents. Let's make them understand that they work for us.

They are answerable to us and they simply have to run that body with some common sense.

Two years later, in 2012, vote the next third of the incumbents in the Senate out.

We can do the same thing in 2014 and, by that time we will have put all new people in that body as well.

We, the People, have got to take this Country back and we HAVE to do it peacefully.

That's what the Framers of our Constitution envisioned.

I am also suggesting term limits on the NEW BUNCH -- 8 YEARS FOR REPRESENTATIVES.

AND

12 YEARS [2 terms] FOR SENATORS.

NO EXCEPTIONS. THE LONGER THEY STAY IN OFFICE THE MORE POWER THEY GET AND THEY LOVE IT AND WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET RE-ELECTED.

WE HAVE TERM LIMITED THE PRESIDENT –

NOW LET'S TERM LIMIT THE LEGISLATORS.

And we do away with their Special Retirement system and their health program (they should have same health programs everyone else in America does). When they are through serving their country they go back to being private citizens. They should view their service as a privilege; after all it was designed to be a part time job to represent the voice of the people, NOT the special interest groups and those who can do favors for them.

If they don’t like this proposal then don’t run for office…

Please, if you love this Country,

send this (as I have done)
to absolutely everyone whose email address

appears in your address book.

This thing can permeate this Country in no time.

Let's make it happen.

THIS MOVEMENT IS A RAPIDLY GROWING GRASS ROOTS MOVEMENT TO TAKE BACK CONTROL OF OUR GOVERNMENT.

however its political aspect as become a powerful tool statists and
socialists use to pass laws and impose their ideology on the populace.

Friedman, even the democratic socialists of Europe had to admit
that Friedman won in a landslide. Although media attention was
rightly focused on the dramatic economic changes transforming
Asia and the former East Bloc, fully half of the world’s
privatization in the ...first dozen years after the Cold War, as
measured by revenue, took place in Western Europe." http://reason.com/archives/2009/10/12/the-unknown-war
