 THE 545 PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE USA‘S WOES BY CHARLEY REESE:

 

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?

 

You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don’t write the tax code. Congress does. You and I don’t set fiscal policy. Congress does. You and I don’t control monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Bank does.

 

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices - 545 human beings out of the 300 million - are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress.

 

In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank. I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason, they have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman or a president to do one cotton- picking thing. I don’t care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator’s responsibility to determine how he votes.

 

A CONFIDENCE CONSPIRACY.

 

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party. What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a SPEAKER, who stood up and criticized G.W. BUSH for creating deficits. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it. The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes.

 

Who is the speaker of the House? She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow Democrats, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto.

 

REPLACE THE SCOUNDRELS

 

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts - of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can’t think of a single domestic problem, from an unfair tax code to defense overruns, that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

 

If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red. If the Marines are in battle, it’s because they want them in battle. There are no insoluble government problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the bla me to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power

 

Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exist disembodied mystical forces like “the economy,” “inflation” or “politics” that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do. Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power. They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses - provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees. We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess.

 

Right on, Andy Rooney!

Andy Rooney said on ‘60 Minutes’ a few weeks back:

I don’t think being a minority makes you a victim of

anything except numbers. The only things I can

think of that are truly discriminatory are things like

the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine,

Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America.

Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund,

Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or

Miss White America ; and see what happens…

Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door

Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing

makes you a killer. You can kill someone

with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying

to ban you from driving to the ball game.

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason,

which is why there are no girls allowed.

Girls belong in the Girl Scouts!

ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?

I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong,

it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.

I have the right ‘NOT’ to be tolerant of others

because they are different, weird, or tick me off.

When 70% of the people who get arrested

are black, in cities where 70% of the population

is black, that is not racial profiling; it is the

Law of Probability.

I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake,

a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room,

you must do it in English! As a matter of fact,

if you want to be an American citizen,

you should have to speak English!

My father and grandfather didn’t die in vain so you

can leave the countries you were born in to

come over and disrespect ours.

I think the police should have every right to shoot

your sorry ass if you threaten them after they

tell you to stop. If you can’t understand the

word ‘freeze’ or ’stop’ in English,

see the above lines.

I don’t think just because you were not born

in this country, you are qualified for any

special loan programs, government sponsored

bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can

open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store,

or any other business.

We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries

and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms,

so that decades later they could come over here

and tell us our constitution is a living document;

and open to their interpretations.

I don’t hate the rich . I don’t pity the poor.

I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and

television. That doesn’t stop you from watching them.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every

penny he made and continue to make more.

If it ticks you off, go and invent the next

operating system that’s better,

and put your name on the building.

It doesn’t take a whole village to raise a child right,

but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid;

and smack their little behinds when

necessary, and say ‘NO!’

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want

them, but please don’t pretend they are a

political statement. And, please, stay home until

that new lip ring heals. I don’t want to look at

your ugly infected mouth as you

serve me French fries!

I am sick of ‘Political Correctness.’

I know a lot of black people, and not a

single one of them was born in Africa ; so

how can they be ‘African-Americans’?

Besides, Africa is a continent. I don’t go around

saying I am a European-American because my

great, great, great, great, great, great

grandfather was from Europe

I am proud to be from America and nowhere else

And if you don’t like my point of view, tough.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE

TO THE FLAG,

OF THE UNITED STATES

OF AMERICA ,

AND TO THE REPUBLIC,

FOR WHICH IT STANDS,

ONE NATION UNDER

GOD , INDIVISIBLE,

WITH LIBERTY AND

JUSTICE FOR ALL!

It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God.

Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why

there is such a problem in having ‘In God We Trust’

on our money and having ‘God’ in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Why don’t we just tell the 14% to Shut Up and BE QUIET !!!

FOR YOUNG FOLKS (High School):

Quote from Bill Gates during a speech at a high school:

“Here are 11 things you will not learn in school and how the feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

1. Life is not fair - get use to it!

2. the world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

3. You will not make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

4. If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss

5. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

6. If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

7. Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listneing to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

8. Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

9. Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. DO that on your own time.

10. Television if NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the cofee shop and go to jobs.

11. (Humor) Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.

PS If you can read this - thank a teacher; If you are reading this in English - thank a soldier.

FROM THE MOUTH OF YOUNGSTERS!

An eyewitness account from New York City, on a cold day in December, some years ago:

A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold.

A lady approached the young boy and said, “My, but you’re in such deep thought staring in that window!”

“I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes, “was the boy’s reply. With that, the lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quicklybrought them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel.

By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy’s feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes.

She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him.. She patted him on the head and said, “No doubt, you will be more comfortable now.”

As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her .

“Are you God’s wife?”
