The " Political Honesty Act "
Staff Change the IRS as it now exists. Institute a consumption tax on goods and services that is fair. That would be a tax on what you buy. Rich people and businesses spend more in dollars so obviously their tax amount will be higher. If the rich somehow consume less, which I doubt, then adjust the curve so the percentage of consumption covers a better share of it. Poor people obviously consume less so their tax amount will conversely be less. Wall street investors will pay taxes on money when removed from a stock unless transferred to another fund. No more complicated tax laws or loop holes for the rich or for the corporations. No more federal tax - exempt status for any organization, except government entities, charities and churches so long as the charities and churches do not partake in political advocacy. With regard to state taxes, that should be left to the states to decide who pays property taxes, as is the case now. Taxes are necessary and should be simple and fair to all Americans. Currently the tax code is a hidden welfare plan for the poor, as evident by tax refunds in excess of what they may have paid originally. It’s also a way for the wealthy or the big 4 to escape their fair share. CPA’s can be now be government approved auditors. The scaled down IRS can oversee this process. Return our Monetary System back to the gold standard and add silver to it. Our money is worthless and you will soon find out how worthless it really is as the world begins to reject it. Imagine if I could print as much as I want.. If you were another country you would then feel obligated to print as much as you want also. So begins the problem with un backed or fiat currency. Henry Ford said this about our privately owned financial institution called the FED… "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." On GOD - Whoever that is to you, not a particular religion as the constitution states, must be allowed back into America! Non-denominational prayer should be allowed at public events and schools. Those who oppose the prayer at a particular event will contact the event managers ahead of time to cast their no vote the democratic way. Our government was based on these moral virtues and blessings that have been “endowed to us by our creator”. This natural law should not be forgotten. Look it up if you have time. You can still have the separation of church & state, just leave your particular God (whoever that is to you) in there. Maybe the word God in public places should be substituted with the word Creator to reflect the times. It seems to me that an atheist or agnostic quite possibly believes, that nature is their creator.
It's just me Frank Lo who really cares about America and where she's going. I don't get paid for doing this. If you want to help please drop me a line with your ideas at our contact us area. Thanks for being a patriot.. We need many like you.
Suggested concepts for future statesmen to consider, not part of the P.H.A...
Capitalism is greedy by nature, made America great and is the engine of modern progress. Without it we would be a stagnant bunch of robots, ruled by rich government officials. Look at the leaders of socialist nations and their lack of individual motivation, prosperity and personal freedoms. This being said, corporations must have well thought out government regulations, that which causes them to act morally. Over regulation causes them to not to want to do business and allows our greedy politicians to reduce America to transnationalism (having people whom you don’t vote for at the UN, telling you what to do), socialism, Marxism or even worse. It is nearly impossible for a politician in this bribery climate to operate with honesty. It’s just simple human nature and is a reflection of whom we are. Incentives for corporate greed must end. Instead of fixing capitalism during this manufactured crisis’s, we are rushing in with unread socialized programs, all this, to be run, by our so very honest government. When you give the kind of government we have, the whole program, it comes with very deep costs to your liberties, personal growth incentives and your pockets. It’s not necessary to lose all of that. We have put in place regulations on capitalism, which has have done exactly the opposite of what we need. Our poorly thought out dishonest government designed regulations have removed the positive incentives corporations should have to help the impoverished become empowered. In doing so they have lined the pockets of the big 4, all on the backs of the poor and middle class. We need well thought out legal, constitutional regulations and incentives for the big 4, to do the right thing and you will see a strong and passionate America once again. That’s the change we need, not an attack on America’s foundation, “capitalism”. Wake up America, you’ve been progressively hijacked by both parties. Don’t divide us but unite us. It’s easy to be a part of class warfare bandwagon but it’s counter productive to attack the wealthy as you also attack your own, or your children’s dreams and aspirations. It all can be accomplished with force.. “ Force of honesty “.
On “Jobs back to America” - American corporations who enjoy the benefits of sales in America yet employ workers overseas will be taxed on those jobs at a rate where it behooves them to bring those jobs back here to America. That includes telephone support. Think of all the political contribution money that the corporations would now be saving with the Political Honesty Act in place. A tariff on goods imported should be brought back to even the score. Call it a carbon footprint tax if the goods were not taxed when manufactured in the country of its origin. We will have to pay one on goods made here so why should they be exempt and sell goods cheaper here because of it. Now if they pay their workers more, we can lower the tariff. That would encourage overseas wages to increase, raising the costs of imported goods, whereby leveling the playing ground. No more incentives to take their business out of the country. We are not an economic superpower with manufacturing anymore. The rest of the world has caught up and surpassed us in this area. The playing field has tipped in their low pay scale favor, not in ours anymore. Manufacturing was the engine of our economy, and that is one of the main concepts that had made us, so great.
Energy for America – Regardless if you believe in global warming or not, we are polluting our planet. FREE Solar, wind and wave action must be used to make hydrogen. You make it for free and it is more efficiently used than electricity. Hydrogen has a positive impact on our environment. It actually cleans the air and water as you use it in combustion engines and fuel cell technology. I should know, as my car is a hydrogen hybrid of my own making. It’s old technology. We have the technology and the resources already. A US energy bond must be created to build this government owned, by the people, infrastructure, which in turn, would be the greatest public works project since the great wall of China. Do you here capitol investments? Do you hear jobs, when we need them the most? Once the bond is paid for (say 15 years), the hydrogen should be allocated for residences, with limits, for free. This technology is cheap and can give us complete independence from foreign oil. Fact - All cars and trucks on American roads today, can easily be converted to use hydrogen for fuel as well as power plants and generators in your home. Car manufacturers won't tell you that because they cannot make allot of $on the technology. Solar thermo and electric as well as wind power systems can supplement our needs. Don't be duped, power for charging batteries is currently made mostly with fossil fuels and nuclear technology down at the local power plant. It’s still DIRTY power. Electricity gets lost if not used on power lines. Wind power is made by friends of President Obama (G.E.) etc., just like oil was the friend of President Bush. Don't be duped America. Open your eyes and see the truth.
Just my humble opinions.
