Robertson is a lot more moderate than I am. Got up and cheered in the theater when I saw "Independence Day" for the first time and D.C. got obliterated by the aliens. If I had a to choose which Americans HAD to die in a terrorist attack I'd choose capitol hill in a new york minute. I couldn't think of a better way to get rid of 535 blood and life sucking parasites in a single flash. Then we could start over with a few new rules.
1.Term limits; no pensions paid for by the little people-you want a gazillion dollar pension, put your own money into it.
2.No lobbying for foreign countries-ever! You're an American or you are not.
3.No income tax-EVER! EVER! EVER! Reimpose import tariffs on ALL goods not made in the good ole USA. NO IRS OR OTHER GESTAPO-LIKE AGENCY could ever be authorized or enacted by congress EVER, EVER,EVER!
4.All lawmakers would have to live in gov. supplied housing (projects) dedicated for their use, while congress was in session; no more near freebies like subsidized hair cuts, subsidized club memberships, etc
5.Any politician caught accepting ANY type of gratuity from any company, labor union, or lobbying group, or SIG would immediately loose their seat in congress and go directly to jail and forbidden to EVER hold elective or appointed office ever again.
6.Public airwave licenses would require ,that for 6 months prior to an election, ALL tv, radio stations and whatever is invented in the future (along the lines of mass info,news, entertainment,etc) dedicate 10 hours monthly in prime time(cost free) to debates that would include ALL candidates who could get the top 10 vote shares from ALL legally qualified candidates in a national primary 2 months before the official election period of 6 months.
7. People could donate however much they wanted to whatever candidate they choose. Just people who are registered to vote. Not registered-not allowed to donate. Lists of donors and the amounts donated would be published weekly.Jail time for all who violate this.
8.No corporate, union, special interest group donations allowed. Any politician caught accepting donations from these prohibited groups would be prohibited from ever holding any type of public office ever again.And he would lose whatever position he held at the time of the discovery and receive a jail sentence as would the chief executives of the forbidden groups..
9.Only non lawyers could hold public office and any law must be written to be understood by the average high school graduate. No committees or subcommittees could ever be formed by congress. Each and every law would be fully read in it's entirety in congress before being voted on.
10.No subsidies could ever be paid to any business, corp., union, farmer, food conglomerate or any trade group for any reason other than a national crisis which would require a favorable vote from 75% of congress to pass.
11. Any company, hospital corp, business sig, union ,etc. caught stealing from or cheating the gov in contracts would be prohibited from ever holding any type of gov contract in the future. All of the chief execs of those entities would go to jail and be forever barred from ever holding or getting a gov contract ever again, even if it was in a different entity under a different name.
12. No law could ever be passed that would steal from young people to pay for old peoples benefits. NO more social security, old age benefits, etc. Each person would be required to open their own IRA and save for their own future. disability insurance would also be required to be paid out of that IRA account.
13. No welfare for anyone for longer than 1 year except for the severly handicapped, severly disabled at a young age or severly retarded whose every need would be supplied by the gov thru a special welfare dept dedicated to them. Everyone else would be required to work to support themselves and their children.God help derelict or run away parents because the FBI would be required to hunt them down like serial killers. Those unwilling to support the children they brought into this world (verified by DNA testing) would be put to death. No exceptions. You can't keep your legs crossed or your zippers up, you pay the ultimate penalty.
Did I leave anything out?
BTW, I am a 58 year old divorced female who has worked all of my life and supported my children on my own. The older I get the more I hate gov.
