Paying Taxes Now Voluntary????

A leading member of the Senate argues in this video:



that the U.S. Tax System is completely voluntary. Yes, you read that correctly. In the most Orwellian bit of doublespeak ever offered, including anything printed in the classic 1984 itself, this leading Senator says with a straight face that our tax system is completely voluntary. You may have to go to jail or pay penalties, but he says, “it is a voluntary tax system."
I challenge any person in America to watch the video and tell me the Senator makes sense. The scariest part is he somehow believes what he is saying. Representative Hank Johnson of GA, who worried the island of Guam might tip over:



if we deployed 10,000 soldiers and their families, might not be the dumbest Congressman after all.

How can our Republic survive if we have politicians like these running our country? Senator Ensign of NV is now speaking optimistically about re-election despite lobbying violations with his mistress’s husband. Representative Stouder resigned his seat after an affair with a staff member, with whom he had been actively promoting abstinence. A candidate to replace Senator Dodd of CT, who is widely assumed to be resigning because of his sweetheart loans from Countrywide Financial or his corrupt relationship with Fannie and Freddie, or both, is in hot water for lying about his service in Vietnam, again. He seems to have forgotten that he never actually served overseas, thanks to five consecutive deferments. Why do we support political parties and characters like these?

Now I’m going to make a few of you mad with these next comments, but this must be said. These people are ruining our country. Many of them are idiots and liars, and more than 90% of them get re-elected every two years because WE continue to support this corrupt system. How much longer are we going allow this broken system to persist? For those who are questioning the re-election rate, note in 53 districts in CA on Tuesday, not a single incumbent was defeated. The system is rigged. It is time to fix it.

Two-thirds of those surveyed in a recent USA Today poll:

.

describe themselves as "angry" about the way things are going in the USA, the highest percentage in the decade the question has been asked. By nearly 2-1, they would rather vote for a candidate who has never served in Congress over one with experience. The number of people claiming to be Independent is approaching 40%, with less than a third claiming they are Democrats (32%) or Republicans (28%). Yet 90% of incumbents will win their re-election bid in the House this November.

Are you ready to do things differently? We have the solution, but it does not look like we will get the numbers we need to effect the needed change in 2010. That is more than disappointing, but watching the incumbents win in primary after primary across America I am more convinced than ever that our plan is the only solution. Trying to take the politicians on in individual races is not working and never will. We must convince our family and friends to join us.

Albert Einstein once said, “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” I am as committed to this effort as ever. Our leaders are committed. We are shifting our focus to 2012 and will adjust our strategy since it is obvious the national media is going to ignore us; we hope you will stick with us. We will continue reaching out to every group in America with the understanding that as soon as enough of us rally around this non-partisan approach we can retake control of our government. With two more years, we will have time to reach our membership goal and take the incumbents out in the primaries. If those who feared splitting the vote will get on board, we can elect true citizen representatives in a landslide.
I just hope 2012 isn’t too late!
