Since when does Congress dictate taking from the American people cuts to Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid? This is NOT their money to CUT OR TOUCH! Our economy and extreme deficit has been created by the BANKS, AND THE U.S. GIVING substantial money to other countries (who despise the U.S.)! Additionally, CORPORATE AMERICA needs to bring back jobs to this Country, AMERICA FIRST. Get our country back on track economically.
1. First, decrease all Congress's salary by 50%, they pay for their own health care and if they want their retirement, they put their own money in it. Now, Congressmen live like 90% of Americans. Congressman, your jobs are paid for by taxpayers! Stop the political B.S. Do your job for the people by the people NOT FOR SPECIAL INTERESTS (Insurance companies, health insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, gas companies) DO NOT TAKE ONE DIME FROM ANY AMERICAN PERSON OR TOUCH ANYONE'S SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, OR MEDICAID.
2. TAX CORPORATE AMERICA BIG TIME, until they bring back the jobs into the U.S.
500 million a year for all those companies whose profits are excessive!! Too bad if you have to make less and pay your U.S. workers at a fair rate of pay, so families can survive in your own country first. THE Greedy Oil Companies who claim they are making environmental changes! OIL companies bring jobs to the American people if you are making millions of dollars!
3. BRING MILITARY SPENDING DOWN BY THE U.S. GETTING OUT OF AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ, PAKISTAN. Let European, Third World, & Asian countries have their own culture and beliefs. It is not incumbent upon Americans to police the world!!
4. PROBLEMS WITH THE DEFICIT? Since the majority of Americans are unemployed start cutting Government Jobs. Maybe then the Government would be more inclined to really understand what it like to be unemployed for 2 years, or what it is like for all those who are paying rising prices on every level, and living out of their cars, or on the street!
STAND UP AMERICANS! DO NOT Let Congress, Corporate America, or Special Interest Groups continue to lie, cheat, and steal anymore. Boycott companies. BUY ONLY AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS. Vote each and every person out of office continuously until real Americans Get Into Congress That Truly Care About the American People.
