That’s why you posted the tripe of an unabashed commie yesterday, bcause you agreed with it. What’s next, selections from Occupy Wall Street?
“Term limits would be a help. Also the elimination of pensions and any other lifetime benefits.”
Two excellent ideas.
Term limits puts a bullet on the time a lobbyist has to buy a politician
KILL their pensions. They get pensions almost as good as a CEO of a big company, and they are vested almost immediately.
Term limits would not stop “investors” from buying legislators, but it would raise the cost and (so to speak) require holding a new auction every four years or so.
I always assume someone owns our town council and county commissioners candidates. The trick is figuring out who, so I can decide whether they’re likely to vote as I’d prefer.
You’re the one that is doing Marx’s bidding by supporting free trade and not me.
Let’s check the scorecard, shall we? You favor more governmental intervention in the economy, you agree with Marx about free trade, and you post crap from Ralph Nader acolytes. All you’re missing is your party card.
No no no no, Free Traitors™ like you own the status quo income tax which is the most intrusive tax of all. A tariff is a simple consumption tax. It is also voluntary.
Oh, and I forgot: you resort to logical fallacies.
Yes, because we've seen when we place a tariff on imported oil, as a simple example, the domestic price remains unchanged. Voluntary.
Durr.
Good thinking. I do very much the same with my local pols. I also get to know them on a personal basis. It’s easy to do too. They have public forums all the time.
I meet our local government gerbils in the gym and the Walmart.
LOL!!
