Suggested reform #1 - On election day, each voter gets to vote his "shares" based on the sum of all taxes paid. The more he pays, the more his vote counts. If one has not paid any taxes, no vote is allowed. No one can run for office who has not paid taxes in the last seven years, as evidenced by his voting record.
Suggested reform #2 - Eliminate all caps on "allowable" bribery and corruption. However, any legislator who votes on a bill that affects any contributor, is nullified, as a conflict of interest. Any enacted law subsequently found to have been subject to a conflict of interest, is nullified, and must be sent back for a new vote.
Suggested reform #3 - Create a new legislative branch, whose sole duty is to repeal laws. By a 51% majority, a law can be stricken from the books. If 51% don't like a law, it is probably a bad law.
I don't remember EVER seeing so many people angry, frustrated and outraged by what is happening with our country. If Obama continues to do what he is doing, in about a year so, this country will be an extremely hostile place full of even angrier people especially when unemployment reaches 15%. So many fine Americans are watching their beloved country being destroyed little by little everyday and they just do not know what to do!
Here's something to think about, which I believe you should consider given the nationwide polls that indicate a majority of Americans are siding with the President: the anger and frustration you're seeing is largely confined right here to C-D, where people can rant and rave anonymously under the benevolent protection of the internet. What you get here is not representative of the mood throughout most of the country.
Popularity does not mean anything. In fact, the vast majority of people in this country have below average intelligence, otherwise they would have never elected Obama. The percentage of people who really make things happen in this country is about 10% of the population and these people are absolutely outraged!
A vast majority of the American public went into a dream state listening to Obama campaign. This proves how the real antichrist will win people over and who will fall for it.

Yes because they were promised that they would be "saved" and "taken care of".

Crazy. (Both you and the predicament the country is in, I mean...)
Have you ever considered a flat tax. If you buy something, you pay a tax on it. Then everyone would be paying taxes. The more you make the more you spend and the more tax you pay. So why not increase the current Federal sales tax. No more tax returns, No more unfair credits. You could then reassign the IRS to other duties, thus saving the government millions of dollars.
Unfortunately, the CPA, tax lawyer, tax software lobby will never let that happen. It threatens their very existance.
Just like real change in education will never happen, courtesy of the teachers unions.
I like the idea of no payroll taxes for a year or two. That would definitely give me more spending power to pump into the economy. Will they ever do it? I doubt it.
Well I did not realize it, but their some people trying to push it. I am not sure how it will work as of yet. I guess Congress is looking at the flat tax and the national retail sales tax. I have no idea how far it has gone in Congress. If you want information just Google National sales tax. I know this has been suggested in the past and got no ware.
I'm kind of angry I cant write off the interest on my new car loan. If you're gonna go to the trouble of creating reinvestment and recovery act, put some tooth in it cryin out loud.
