I have questions about The Tea Party in that Congressional district 29 does not have a representative in congress; therefore we remain without representation. There is no one from your movement out taking up a collection to get a representative elected! This is an opportunity The Tea Party has to make a REAL statement about “NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!” There should be people on the streets. In this you are missing out on the most important points of our founding fathers as our Founding Fathers tossed THE TEA into the Boston Harbor …in retaliation to tyranny.

I am corresponding to Senator McCain about a hypothesis concerning our the government regarding “encoding” when I noticed keywords being displayed in two stories covered in tandem the night the heath-care bill was being passed specifically documented in writing via correspondence I had with Fox News where they thought I was one of their news anchors working on their day off and thanked me after I brought this to their attention. My hypothesis is buttressed in that a Democrat accused Senator Pat Buchanan of trying to encode something; in this I know it exists or else the accusation would not have been made….

I ran this by a few people …including an older friend of mine; this being; two time academy award wining film journalist MIKE HOOVER…

Yes it seems as if we may have a silent revolution on our hands and in this, I do not want to misrepresent Senator McCain; as I feel that the only way to win this battle is if “We the People” have “the constitution” to stand up to tyranny again; AND ONE must realize we need a representative of integrity; either the esteemed Senator, or …former Secretary of State and 4 Star General Colon Powel; as he resigned from his position of US Secretary of State when he knew found out that intelligence “miss informed” him before he made his address to the UN; because he knew from his combat experience in Vietnam that “intelligence” could have planted the evidence of WMD in IRAQ; in this he saved his political career; maybe he will come back to politics.

In regards to Senator McCain; he isn’t what management’s mangmt is trying to make him look like in Arizona “AS SEEN ON TV!!!;” I have talked to numerous sources including a Mexican American Police Lieutenant who was a tunnel rat in Vietnam who knows the “donkey trail” in Arizona like the back of his hand; where we discussed that Sheriff Joe Arpaio, his wife; family, extended family and friends would be subject to search yet he has no objections; as he realizes this is a national emergency that is being bluntly ignored where the supposed “refugees” are flooding into this country when in reality they are a mix of drug dealers; the drug dealers taking advantage of easy pass. This is about votes, and our Commander in Chief is willing to put the lives of every American citizen and illegal alien in a bracken war zone because his team doesn’t care about life; they care about maintaining their power base in 2012 where once the give “illegal aliens” free healthcare they of course will vote for the power structure that gave it to them; his; and that will include everywhere that is designated US soil; and that isn’t just the “Mexican refugees.” AS SEEN ON TV!!!” it includes outsourced jobs; oilrigs; ships; embassies; military bases; boats docked on every where that are registered with the correct paperwork where one can literally go country to country within a few steps; furthermore this may include internet “clouds” where American jobs are being outsourced to other countries. And as Congress has already shown US and our commander in Chief has stated; they say truth is relative; making what lies in the truth easy to Hyde.

National healthcare would be a great accomplishment indeed and I believe it possible have this however this isn’t the way to pay for it. The business model has been set up such that those on Medicare shall PAY the bill after having been calculated out with “mathematical certainty;” according to the US national census; “mathematical certainty;” a quote from another man who was overwhelmingly elected and presented his healthcare plan to “save the economy;” and that would be another manager; Hitler outlined in his solution Mein Kampf.

Furthermore if my hypothesis exists; this county has to pull itself together using our Founding Fathers form of Democracy; or I greatly fear… the United States of America which has been falling will continue to do so as the Roman Empire did; expedited by the rate of the ever increasing technology…though I shall not abandon ship; as others I know have already done; I am American…this is OUR country; OUR Republic and we cannot let it die…as Democracy fell in its place birth; Athens.

In light of the aforementioned information this concerns support for Senator McCain’s re-election to the Senate and quite possibly who we need to have in place as our next commander in chief. Captain John McCain’s actions by suffering for “The Flag of Our Fathers” in Vietnam and his willingness NOT to quit after loosing the Presidential Election proves he is a man of integrity and ONE that shall not give in. Therefore before ONE believes what they hear “AS SEEN ON TV!!!”
Realize this:

Senator John McCain is 6 years younger then ROCK SOLID Marine Sergeant Clint Eastwood Ret; who happens to be a personal friend of MIKE HOOVER’s and also have been another politician.

Please advise me of your stance.

Thank you,

What is happening, the middle class lifestyle is being diminished as they have to support the welfare class of society that lives an equivalent lifestyle without having to put in any of the effort of taking responsibility for themselves. Tax 100% of the wealth (not just the income) of the richest people in America and we still can’t dent our debts. It’s time to stop blaming the rich (and I’ve been unemployed for 3.5 years and take care of a disabled parent, so don’t think I’m loaded).

Myth 2: The US counts ALL deaths in its infant mortality rates, other countries don’t. You’re comparing apples to oranges, but then again, you’re a self proclaimed enemy of freedom.

Myth 3: Poverty will never end in the US because poverty is DEFINED as a percentile of the population in terms of income. That is, roughly 20% of the population will ALWAYS be “poor” even if they’ve got gold plated sinks and limo service.

Myth 4: The US spends WAY TOO much money on cash assistance for families with children and it causes a perpetual dependence upon welfare/wealth redistribution. There’s no motivation for people to take care of themselves if they can enslave others and force others to provide for them.

Myth 5: Maybe you haven’t heard, but the US isn’t set up to redistribute wealth. Mothers are more than capable of looking for a job that will provide the demands they want. If they can’t find it, it isn’t up to everyone else to mother them.

Myth 6: Poor people ARE more likely to end up middle class or higher in the US than anywhere else. However, our system of government largess disincentivizes doing so.

Myth 7: The US spends more per capita than any other nation on education… and after decades of massively increasing education spending, test scores have remained flat. In fact, graduates of today seem to be less knowledgeable and prepared than those of just a generation or two ago. Show me one study where increased spending actually benefited the children’s education.

Myth 8: The US government is redistributing money from the rich to the poor and the middle class to the poor. It is also redistributing money from the middle class to the rich. This provides further disincentive to try to improve your station in life if you are poor. The US shouldn’t redistribute money AT ALL.

Myth 9: The US gives more real dollars than any other nation on earth. But when your GDP far exceeds every other nation on earth, it’s easy to play games with statistics.

I probably shouldn’t have bothered replying… more likely than not, you’re just another uninformed copy and paste troll than someone that actually wants to discuss things honestly…

http://current.com/news/92376672_nine-myths-about-socialism-in-the-us.htm

Glenn Beck and other far right multi-millionaires are claiming that the US is hot on the path toward socialism. Part of their claim is that the US is much more generous and supportive of our working and poor people than other countries. People may wish it was so, but it is not.

As Sen. Patrick Moynihan used to say “Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But everyone is not entitled to their own facts.”

The fact is that the US is not really all that generous to our working and poor people compared to other countries.

Consider the US in comparison to the rest of the 30 countries that join the US in making up the OECD – the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. These 30 countries include Canada and most comparable European countries, but also include some struggling countries like Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Korea, Mexico, Poland, Slovak Republic and Turkey.

When you look at how the US compares to these 30 countries, the hot air myths about the US government going all out toward socialism sort of disappear into thin air. Here are some examples of myths that do not hold up.

Myth No. 1: The US Government Is Involved in Class Warfare, Attacking the Rich to Lift Up the Poor.

There is a class war going on all right. But it is the rich against the rest of us and the rich are winning. The gap between the rich and everyone else is wider in the US than any of the 30 other countries surveyed. In fact, the top 10 percent in the US have a higher annual income than any other country. And the poorest 10 percent in the US are below the average of the other OECD countries. The rich in the US have been rapidly leaving the middle class and poor behind since the 1980s.

Myth No. 2: The US Already Has the Greatest Health Care System in the World.

Infant mortality in the US is fourth worst among OECD countries – better only than Mexico, Turkey and the Slovak Republic.

Myth No. 3: There Is Less Poverty in the US Than Anywhere.

Child poverty in the US, at over 20 percent or one out of every five kids, is double the average of the 30 OECD countries.

Myth No. 4: The US Is Generous in Its Treatment of Families With Children.

The US ranks in the bottom half of countries in terms of financial benefits for families with children. Over half of the 30 OECD countries pay families with children cash benefits regardless of the income of the family. Some among those countries (e.g. Austria, France and Germany) pay additional benefits if the family is low income or one of the parents is unemployed.

Myth No. 5: The US Is Very Supportive of Its Workers.

The US gives no paid leave for working mothers having children. Every single one of the other 30 OECD countries has some form of paid leave. The US ranks dead last in this. Over two-thirds of the countries give some form of paid paternity leave. The US also gives no paid leave for fathers.

In fact, it is only workers in the US who have no guaranteed days of paid leave at all. Korea is the next lowest to the US and it has a minimum of eight paid annual days of leave. Most of the other 30 countries require a minimum of 20 days of annual paid leave for their workers.

Myth No. 6: Poor People Have More Chance of Becoming Rich in the US Than Anywhere Else.

Social mobility (how children move up or down the economic ladder in comparison with their parents) in earnings, wages and education tends to be easier in Australia, Canada and Nordic countries like Denmark, Norway and Finland, than in the US. That means more of the rich stay rich and more of the poor stay poor here in the US.

Myth No. 7: The US Spends Generously on Public Education.

In terms of spending for public education, the US is just about average among the 30 countries of the OECD. Educational achievement of US children, however, is seventh worst in the OECD. On public spending for childcare and early education, the US is in the bottom third.

Myth No. 8: The US Government Is Redistributing Income From the Rich to the Poor.

There is little redistribution of income by government in the US in part because spending on social benefits like unemployment and family benefits is so low. Of the 30 countries in the OECD, only in Korea is the impact of governmental spending lower.

Myth No. 9: The US Generously Gives Foreign Aid to Countries Across the World.

The US gives the smallest percentage of aid of any of the developed countries in the OECD. In 2007, the US was tied for last with Greece. In 2008, we were tied for last with Japan.

Despite the opinions of right-wing folks, the facts say the US is not on the path toward socialism.

But if socialism means the US would go down the path of being more generous with our babies, our children, our working families, our pregnant mothers and our sisters and brothers across the world, I think we could all appreciate it.
