WELL SAID ALL OF YOU!
Kindgo there will come a time when men's money will do them no good.
But have any of you noticed how things are falling in line for the mark?
It is now mandatory that everyone that has a television acquire a digital box. This is now the law. Whether you want it or not you got to have it.
I think this too is a part of "One World Order"; they even got have a way to tap into the American people phone lines without letting them know and it is legal. The government is now taking over some of the banks and calling the shots because they bailed them out of their economic crisises.
Beware of the Gift horse!

I agree quote:
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!
but we can't.
Supreme court judges are not even subject to our votes or wishes. Not all of these elected officials come up for reelection at the same time. Impeachment of any elected official is very difficult in our current situation where the elected officials hold the power. And talk of "responsibility" is a waste of breath in a society where too many individuals, elected or otherwise, don't want to be held "responsible" for their pregnancies, debts, poor eating habits, waste of basic resources, or "shady" deals.
Messes like the one that we see taking place in our country are difficult to "clean up" by those making the "mess". That is why "revolutions" become the strategy for change in many countries.
Very few politicians seem to understand what is the "common good" for all Americans. And too many Americans don't want what is "good" for everyone, but they want what would be particularly "good" for themselves. The current broadcasting of campaign messages by our two candidates for president and their supporters should be a clear demonstration of this point that no one can agree on what is "good" for every American, so they seek to put into place what is "good" in accord with their personal and party's perspective on the issues.
The election is a few weeks will display the choices that American voters make, but it won't go very far to "clean up their mess". The forces of self-serving greed are very strongly entrenched in our society. I think that the "mess" is going to get "messier".

545 PEOPLE By Charlie Reese 545 PEOPLE
By Charlie 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, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do 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 .
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 the President 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 House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
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 that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the 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 Army & Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ .
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame 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 exists 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!
