"Incredibly, there are currently 545 human beings who are directy, legally, morally and individually responsible for every problem that America faces. Have you ever wondered why America doesn't have a balanced budget? Have you ever in your life heard of a politician who wasn't fora balanced budget?
Have you ever heard a politician speak in favor of a complicated tax code that ordinary citizens would find hard to understand? Then why do we have a complicated tax code that ordinary citizens find hard to understand? .......
According to the United States Bureau of the Census our population [is] beyond 311 million people.
Can 311 million people ever hope to wrestle the power away from 545?
(From How to kill 11 million people by Andy Andrews)
The 545 people that control us, take our tax money but give us either an unbalanced budget or no budget at all are the POTUS, the 9 members of the Supreme Court, the 100 Senators, and the 435 members of the House of Representatives.
They tell us they "can't" balance the budget because the "other guys" won't let them. They tell us they can't get our economy in order and offer up excuses (the weather, the tsunamis, the other party, etc etc). And (whichever party is in control) we say okay.
They control us.
If we lie to them, it's a felony.
If they lie to us, it's "politics".
Is this how we want to be controlled?
Just wondering what you think.
