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, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits,WHY do we have deficits? Have you ever wondered, 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 Bankdoes. 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-pickingthing. 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? Nancy Pelosi.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 can not 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 letthem 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! What you do with this article now that you have read it.......... is up to you. Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper.
Poster Comment: I don't know when Charlie wrote this article, found it on another site. But I thought it was a great article and should be posted on every board in the country.

"The face of evil is always the face of total need." William S Burroughs
I remember that. And, as I recall, we didn't. Only war the US has won in recent times, at least that I know of, was against Granada. And what is that, a little island smaller than most self-respecting counties?
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. Mention...TERM LIMITS...to most Americans and they are againast them. You say we already have term limits????? Not really. People are stupid. Thurmond, 100, Byrd, near that, Kennedy was there for 50 years????????? Dont tell me people are not stupid. I belong to the ..."IN-OUT"...party. If you are in office we need to throw your ass out, "party" be damned.
I'm returning to the voting booth this November and will vote for grid lock. Until someone has a better plan, or party, it's all we have. The ten years I sat out hasn't changed a thing, in fact they're worse.
No, seriously dude, go whip inflation, now! Think of the children.

LOL that's a keeper.
"Every Person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. No bigger proof needed that elections are rigged.

Nonsense... We need to have a saliva test for you ASAP. JETHRO, IN MY NEAR 80 YEARS, THINGS HAVE ALWAYS GOTTEN WORSE, THIS COUNTRY HAS NEVER EVER TAKEN A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER..... If you entertain anything other than civil war or revolution, WE ARE SHAMING OUR FOUNDING FATHERS THAT STOOD UP AND SAID ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH, WE ARE SHAMING OUR CONFEDERATE BROTHERS THAT SHED BLOOD TO FREE THEMSELVES FROM THIS GOVERNMENT. "The CSA gave state legislatures the power to impeach federally-appointed state court judges and other federally-appointed state officials. Can you imagine all the federal judges agreeing with the Fed Gov if the above were in effect???????????
Bingo! bump.
The IN_OUT process is the only viable option. We have nearly 100 per cent incumbent retention, voters are stupid.
I like Charlie but sometimes he shows his naivete. Except when they put a gun to their head, blackmail them, threaten their families, etc., ... Just ask: Abraham Lincoln Louis T. McFadden JFK Hale Boggs Paul Wellstone And I am sure others. We have a criminal combine controlling our government and like any organized crime activity they are bound neither by law nor morality.

WWGPD? - (What Would General Pinochet Do?)
Anybody is better than Pelosi. Anybody.
I was among the most hard core. If I'm any indication, there will be many millions of returnees looking to vote white,,,I mean, right.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh...... Name one after Ford, he was dumb but honest??????????? Whether Peeloosely is schlepping around or whether it is some other political hack is meaningless. They all do and will belong to the system.
MILLIONS SEEING THE LIGHT! Praise Hey-Sus! I've saved the best and longer clip for them.
WWGPD? - (What Would General Pinochet Do?)
Damn our racist souls, that's a hoot!!!!!
When blacks vote for fellow blacks at a 99.9% clip, it's called solidarity, and that's just fine with the establishment. When whites vote to defang Obama it's racist, and since we're called that by WG'ers, etc, I say we piss them off a tad.
Obamas usefulness is nearing critical mass. Will a billion dollars be allowed to go down the drain? Two years for a decision to be made, waiting until the last minute will not suffice.
Will a billion dollars be allowed to go down the drain? Two years for a decision to be made, waiting until the last minute will not suffice. Cyni, what do you mean?
Obama was created for a reason, for a useful purpose, a billion dollars appeared as if by magic to elect the first black president. Why????? Because he would make a good President???? No one really believes that. The man cannot even carry on a one sided conversation.
Somewhere, Jimmy Carter is laughing and saying, "Finally! I won't be the worst President ever!"
If voting could solve anything, it would be illegal.

Who said anything about ballot boxes?
Somewhere, Jimmy Carter is laughing and saying, "Finally! I won't be the worst President ever!"
You ask a fine question. I had no idea you were indicating sending them through a tree shredder and mulching them. I retract my post and bow to your wisdom.
