Broken Government *** A new beginning ****
AMERICA needs someone who can work for this country and get it back on track. The person needs to be qualified to become President.....with all of the t's crossed and the i's dotted....no questions as to whether or not they would pass the test..
Now, I know that there will be a lot of people will not like what I am going to suggest next....
AN AUDIT needs to be done....to find out exactly where this country stands....and in this audit important things need to be exposed....how much are the people in Washington spending for their own salaries, benefits and perks? How much money is being spent and what is it being spent for?
Cutbacks need to be made and this needs to start right there in Washington....things need to change....these leaders live in a "perfect little world" of their own....they do NOT worry about getting their paychecks...
When things were not going well....President Obama said that the people who were getting their retirement and disability checks would be the first people who might be affected....OMG...can you actually believe this? I can....just look at these people who have not gotten cost of living raises in several years now...these people are the ones who depend upon this money to actually exist from month to month.
Nothing was said about any of the people in Washington not getting their paychecks....so
SOMETHING IS REALLY WRONG WITH THIS...
America is no longer ABLE TO SAVE THE WORLD...
and AMERICAN leaders need to accept this and do what needs to be done to help our own people right here in America....
TAX REFORM....yes...this is needed....the middle class of people pay more taxes than anyone else...this is NOT RIGHT and it should change...
Perhaps decide on a tax percentage across the board for everyone....(by the way....anything and everything that is put into place for AMERICA should be across the board....ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE...NO EXCEPTIONS....what Washington leaders vote for will ALSO BE APPLIED TO EACH AND EVERY MEMBER and worker there...again....what is good for the goose...should be good for the glander...
Washington MUST get back in line with what the rest of the country is dealing with....we have ALLOWED Washington to become a POLITICAL WORLD of its own....where people there are becoming RICH on the rest of the country....and this is NOT RIGHT...
There are too many programs where money is being spent which is wasteful....and this NEEDS TO STOP...
AMERICA leaders continue to make new laws....when there are so many laws now that NO ONE can keep up with them....modify the laws that we have...STOP creating NEW ONES....and get rid of the ones which are outdated or no longer being used....
This is just a start.....a NEW BEGINNING...and it is going to take a SMART person who will be able to enforce this....
No one likes to be told that they will no longer get big salaries, benefits and perks.....but we have to do this to save AMERICA....
