The way to fix Goverment is so simple its childs play. 1. Make it illegal to accept any campaign contributions from any company lobbyist or individual by penalty of jail to the politician or the giver Each politician will be given the same amount of money to run for office . How they spend it shows how smart they are..2. We regulate the airwaves so mandated TV and Radio time for cnadidates equally distributed. Civil servant will be that again, instead of a whore with his hand out. NO MORE MONOPOLIES!Walmart/SAms,Banks and no bid contract Haliburton,Phone companies,cable companies. I relize theere are a few but a very few competing companies You move your company over seas for cheap labor you pay higher taxes for moving overseas and must match employee for employee in this country for living here. No more out sourcing phone jobs to India or any other company. You do bussiness is here you hire here. Maybe then those 20 million dollar bonuses could come back to the average Americans hands. I am all for people coming to this country but not at the expense of the working man. The richest Americans want them for labor then they must pay their medical dental and reasonable housing. Other than that i want a concrete wall between US and Mexico to stop the illegal crossing of our borders. The building of the wall will crreate many jobs as Nafta has not worked and must be done away with. It just benefited the rich to move their companies. This 2 party system , must go!!!!!. The 2 parties make sure that no other party can get started or a foothole in this country. No more bailing out rich companies or banks when they make. We bailed out the biggest banks in America and let the little ones fail and they didn't cause this mess. Now they banks we bailed out are taking record bonuses after some, taking a 1.00 for the year like they were doing us a favor. After spending our tax dollar to bail them out They should have been paid a 1.00. There should be a FLAT TAX of between 15% to 18% depending on what the goverment needs. The rate is based on the fact our politicians can no longer be whores with their hand out ,our money will go a lot farther and get things done so we are not sure exactly what the rate will be but this will encompass everything. No more sales tax or property tax and everyone rich and poor will pay the same. With my idea in a couple years there will be no more poor. I live in St Petersburg Fl its a peninsula about 20 miles long and 10 miles wide There are approx 20 mayors 20 councils and aides and aides too aides You want to reduce goverment start local. This is a small area for this many people running the goverment. The size of goverment should be based on the size of the area. Its absolutely alarming at how big the goverment is in this small area. The tea party was started with some good intentions it is allegely supported by some of te richest Americans Like David Koch of Koch industries (BILLIONAIRE) and Rick Scott Gov Multi multi Millionaire of Florida to protect their income and does not even come close to going far enough to protect is from the greeedy Corporate Giants.... ITs run by! I would be proud to join occupy wall street as long as we agree that democracy is the only way.

WalMart is a monopoly?
Look it up one referring to more than one it is monopolies. Looked it up to make sure i was right. I was. I am not really sure if that was what you were saying though
I said if you read they have few competitors. There is walmart/Same Target. Kmart/Sears almost done theirselves. Would you like me to name the large stores 30 years ago. I don't know if one full page will be enough
Actually you said no more monopolies
Will Number 1 apply to unions as well?
No contributions but what is alotted by the Goverment which each politician gettting the same amount to spend and the same amount of TV and Radio time Peak off peak minutes
So unions can contribute but corporations cannot?
No contributions from anyone.... Corporation , person, union, lobbyist etc etc other than the designated amount given by the goverment.. The same designated amount to each candidate. Being the goverment regulates the airtime and Fcc the TV the money saved for political commercials will cheapen a campaign. Lets face it the majority of the money goes for TV and radio ads and air time for debates. All free for people running for office. Of caorse it will have to be fine tuned anyone can pick out something that will have to be thought out more.
We had 2 people appointed to the PSC board by our out going Govenor that was accepted by our legislature. They then voted a rate increase down because of the economy. All of a sudden our legislature said they didn't like the guys and replaced them. Can we say rate INCREASE NOW
The PSC public sevice commissions were set up to make sure that increases in basic services like electric and water were warranted. I know of one increase in Fl where the wanted a another helicopter
Electric companies are supposed to be non profit yet they have to have helicopters and planes to fly their execs all over the planet. What happened to commercial travel
Remeber this Teddy Rosevelt was against Monolpolies which is why he broke up standard oil which was strong arming gas station to not only buy their gas but to use their trucks. They were acting like the Mafia and Teddy broke them up. Unfortuneatly They are back together today as Mobil Exxon. Teddy would be ashamed of our politicians today. Excuse the expression but whores

Do you have a website?
I used to post on craiglist list rants and raves under the heading of conscience of America. I now am posting here till i decide if i am going to open my own website. I am trying to keep an open mind here but want to make sure we fix the system not tear it down.
here's my plan to fix the system: "What if voters got to VOTE on a revolution"?...put ALL of our fixes in one place, and get the job done all at once...

P.S. In the 1950's and 60's my grandparents had a house on the bay just due east of you, in Shore Acres (Arrowhead Drive) - I visited a few times as a kid - very good St. Petersburg memories...
Sounds good to me Jeff. Shore acres is very close to me maybe 2 miles away
There is a wall already along the US/MEX border gringo. I'd be more concerned about the Canadians.
Our companies are not moving to high tax Canada, Are you unstable??
