You'll have a lot better luck talking to an honest charity than trying to wrangle money from a sociopath in political office.

Wouldn't it be moot since they have savings? We would save money if we just do what Texas does and only convene a few times a year. Congress used to be a volunteer job, not a full job occupations. An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded. A narrow mind is a focused mind.

Would be more fun to just take a high-pressure fire hose into Congress and the White House. Blast those suckers out of the windows-- Republicans, Democrats, it don't matter, every one of them. |

How about making or promoting a petition that is viable, say a COLA overhaul that fails even worse than usual when we're in a deep recession but prices for necessities rise? Texas has a better chance of seceding and I have a better chance of winning the lottery than this nonsense.

I don't know once upon a time people had these things called families to fall back on.
I hear cocoa and his merry band of communists are trying to eradicate them though...makes the people much more malleable see.
They get to program lil jonny at school and without the guiding hand of the family it's much easier.
Mommy gets to have as many boyfriends as she wants and the government is only too happy to pay for her subservience...rinse and repeat for a few generations and viola we get dictatorships and all the trimmings.

To be perfectly fair we had an authoritarian government before, it's weight has simply been shifted due to fiat currency inflation. The spying stuff, unnecessary wars, massive welfare spending, state agents murdering civilians and reporters, they're old hat. We've been through this for centuries and though for a brief period in western Europe and America the corruption was much smaller, relative to the strength of their economies, it was still there.
The really upsetting thing is that people can't possibly learn the lesson of history because they are convinced, generation after generation, that all can be set right with a few reforms. The logical observer will be forced to note; however, that having a monopoly on the coercive power in a geographical area and being the arbiter in complaints against yourself (as the state always has been) is a logical contradiction and the ultimate source of tyranny. |

The Petition wrote:Make all of congress including the President himself survive for 1 month on a social security budget of 787 dollars.
I am disabled and receive exactly 787 dollars a month in Social Security+ food stamps
its extremely hard to get by after rent,, utilities, and food are paid for.
I want each person in congress and the president to be forced to work on exactly the same budget I am working under, for just 1 month.
This includes all expenses for example clothes, hygiene supplies, food,lodging and anything at all anyone would have to pay for without special perks.
If they fail, and cannot maintain this budget for just 1 month, they should raise the social security amount to everyone.
Why should we have to work on a budget that they give us if they themselves cannot? Beggars can't be choosers.
I've been on Social Security Disability. It's a meager living, but I had help from my family, and my congregation. They did more to help than the government could or should do. After painful physical therapy, I no longer walk with a cane or require heavy pain medication. Disability helped arrest my fall, but it was a temporary band-aid, sandbags against the storm surge. That's all it can ever truly be.
The government doesn't care to help you end your dependency. It isn't in the interests of those who govern to do so. |

Are you racist in general or do you just have a particular distaste for Obama?
As for him being a Communist... You need to broaden your horizons and listen to some new news channels once in a while. Do you even know what Communism is? Scrap that, you obviously don't...
Calling Obama a Communist is like calling FOX news a well-informed, unbiased news source.
A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery. |
