Back earlier this year, Nancy Pelosi, the previous speaker of the House, and the Democratic leader in the House, suggested a plan in a letter to Speaker Boehner. In that letter she proposed holding current rates for all tax payers under $1 million. Her verbiage said that the Democrats want the 'rich' to pay their fair share.
Mr. Boehner's last proposal was identical to the one proposed by Leader Pelosi earlier this year. To which the Leader said: “It’s a tactic, but it’s not a serious proposal,” and the President's response was by White House spokesman Jay Carney who said Plan B idea would not meet Obama’s top priority of protecting middle-income earners. “The Speaker’s ‘Plan B’ approach doesn’t meet this test because it can’t pass the Senate, and therefore will not protect middle class families, and does little to address our fiscal challenges with zero spending cuts,” Carney said.
The last post here was critical of both sides. Even when one side half hearted proposes a plan identical to one proposed by the other side, it is rejected. Face it friends, we ARE going off the cliff, it's what the
That takes us back to the previous post. The royals in Washington, will party while the economy burns. This is a similar scenario that cost the King of France his head, as well as the heads of his wife and court. It is a similar scenario to what cost the King of England a big chunk of his North American holdings. It is what brought down the former Soviet Union. Do I need to go on?
Shortly after the election in November, succession petitions started cropping up on the White House petition site. I found it daring that potential rebels would actually put there names on a site controlled by the government, can you say black list? All wars are fought over primarily economic reasons. WWII was fought because of the punishing reparations placed on Germany. Could we be witnessing the very beginning of the Second American Civil War? I sincerely hope not.
And is exactly why We the People need to take radical actions. My Grandfather was a staunch Democrat, I know staunch Republicans, what we have in Washington is not working. Third parties don't seem to be the answer, none have been able to crack the stranglehold of the two major parties. So what I propose is that in the next election, we vote. In primaries vote for opponents to the incumbent, cross party lines if you need to. In the general election, vote against the incumbent, regardless of their party, or your party affiliation. If enough lose their jobs, and by the way don't feel sorry for them, they will be taken care of for the rest of their lives, they made sure of it, perhaps just perhaps the message will be delivered to the ruling royals, We the People want sanity in government.

Those royals were sent to Washington by their constituents, and then were indoctrinated by party leadership and vote like sheep along party lines. Then they come back to us, and say look what I got for you, like that new federal building? or I didn't do that, or the one I really liked last election: I'm proud to ranked number 50 in the Senate. Of course her state is quite red, and she supported at least half of the Progressives proposals, including the Health Care Act, demonstrating her disregard of the voters. Most no longer represent us. So we need to clean the House, and the Senate. If this plan works, in the next congressional elections the house will change to Democrat control and the Senate to Republican control. But the most important thing is new leadership will emerge. Then maybe we can focus on the things that really matter to the majority of the people, jobs and economic opportunity, instead of gay marriage, free cell phone, food stamps, and tax the 'rich' (and I would still love a definition of rich).
