Okay for the last 40 plus years, religious conservatives, lobbyists and party agendas have been followed. I am not comfortable with the prospect of allowing them to continuing the same status order they are pushing. It is criminal.

There is a cure for America but it will be a long difficult challenge but it can be done. Who is going to do it We are, We the People. We can do this now or later, but we are responsible for it either way.

The policies our leaders are following are not fair, these agenda’s are focused on breaks and savings for corporations. They are paid for and sponsored by these same corporations, some openly, some under guise but the path and focus has always been for the corporations.

I would like the same brakes and saving as they get, I would like the same representation as them. In my opinion here is how.

1, Term limits of no more than 3 terms for any setting senator or congressman. If they can not get the job done in 3 terms then we need some one else.

2, A 10% flat tax. Personal, business and corporations it becomes equal. That is right 10% for my personal taxes, 10% for my business taxes, and if I become really motivated 10% on my corporations taxes. 30% taxes is better than the 32% I was paying before the crash.

3, End all Corporate and NON-profit tax breaks, one has been using the other for political funding, and harboring income.

The only people that will have issue with these changes are the very people abusing them, who is going to complain about a 10% personal tax? Only the corporations or extremely rich that has been enjoying a less taxed stance.

Who would complain about the 3 term limit? The Senator or Congressman who has been enjoying the lobbyist, dinners, events, and backyard commitment of supporting a corporate view.

Who would have an issue with ending all NON-profit tax breaks? People hiding profit, if there is no income then there is no tax, however if you make or receive money that is income and should be taxed at 10% in the same way as the secretary who answers the phone.
