Sent this day 8/05/2012 An Open Letter Addressed to The President of the United States of America and to all of the currently seated members of Government and to all of the citizens of the USA to the people of the world and to all governments. Please Handle and deliver/share as you would a letter delivered by the USPS.
Mr. President and all currently seated members of Government and to all the citizens of the USA, to the governments and people of the world.
1st let me state that these letters I send to you I also send out on social media to all of the citizens of the USA to read as well - and I suppose it could be considered as open letters to the world also.
Anyway today's subject: In keeping with the wishes of our Founding Father's - a sane suggestion for good/great/excellent reform of a monetary practice.
Increase the tax burden on the 1% to reflect their income and wealth = approximately 90%.
Abolish Federal and State income Tax on the 90% of the population - BUT maintain deductions for SS and Unemployment.
Institute a 10% systemic state sales tax - BUT eliminate all other tacked on fee taxes service charges or whatever euphemism extra money charged is called.
If you would like to contact the President or the Whitehouse:

More like this! Will spread around.
Well done.
Very interesting 'Open Letter' DK, but abolishing Fed. State Income Tax on 90%.. is Not doable. I would effect directly medical and Supplemental income of those abused by the System. Again, it would cause State Budgets to falter on infrastructure.. which is what boosts employment. Education would suffer even more in our Country.
.. A 'Consumption Tax' is the answer.. I have tried to get that in the Ear of all i speak to .
raising taxes is not complicated
Just gotta deal with the screaming and kicking of the spoiled wealthy.
lol
thanks, it's tough
{:-]) Parents should be better prepared to deal with it - than I am - but deal with it I will and gladly.

In 2005 i wrote in my Web site's front page that Unemployment would be the Excuse Banks and Govt' would use to keep the banks Unregulated... .. .. in 2007, i wrote that 90% of the Wealth was being controlled by only a few, and that the Feds were making sure we kept it that way. That if it IS kept that way.. the Financial Sector would have a Monopoly on the Market, that Congress would Have to Back the 'Money' .. and Unemployment would reach over 10% by 2010.
.. In 2008, i wrote that the 'Recession', was actually a Depression, being that we were higher avg. Unemployment rate than 1929's 9pts.
... I wrote that Lehman Bros. and Bear Stearns would be BK'd by Goldman Sachs and his Borrowers.. to take the Middle Class out.
I can say this, as my Web Site Still has some of these Predictions on it.. and dated in Publishers' Record.
I DO Say this, as not only I knew.. but Thousands of others knew it too.. yet did nothing!
Aren't you quite the aware observant and brilliant forecaster. {:-]) I don't think that many people wanted to accept the evidence in front of their eyes - it's implications being so monstrous. And NOW - here we are with the reality.
So True DK.. it is 'Monstrous'.. the worst part of this is.. that When a Society is Rooked THIS Badly.. a Whole Civilization is effected. ... Meaning, if we dont stop, then correct it, we could end sooner than a blink of an eye.
That is my fear - when you look at all of the global tie-ins - all of the world wide cooperation/collusion/contamination/agendas/parallel strategies. When you see the corpoRATion's being allowed to run loose and freely pollute and otherwise destroy the environment. When you see a very blatant policy of profits over people/society/health/world. You have to know that we are standing on the very edge of doom.
When you see the absolute ability to dump fossil fuel and end the strife over resources - by using clean technology that is available RIGHT NOW - that could also be exported to promote world peace health and prosperity. There can be no doubt that the wrong people are in power and that they must be considered insane.
Your Post Above.. needs a re-read on this Forum.. Well put, DK.
Hey thanks Marlow - I also made the comment into an open letter post - standing on the brink of doom.
YW, love your posts, and how you present the issues. You are helping many to think outside the Box, and learn.
Gawrsh ( blushing furiously and kicking at dirt with toe of shoe ) {:-])
This is arguably my favourite of all your posts DK!
Thank you - I also made it into it's own post as an open letter - standing on the brink of doom.
