Second, we need to reform torte law. If you could return sue for a frrivolis lawsuite, and after showing that it is a frivolis lawsuite, you could make the other side pay for your legal costs, would eliminate many lawsuites. Items like lawmowers have costs that are so inflated to cover all of the potential legal costs, And the fact that the user manual is mostly warnings about how not to use the product, it still does not slow the lawsuites. Too many companies are sued knowing that their is no basis but that the company can not afford long legal cost so they settle early out of court for a lower cost. This is nothing more than using the legal system to shake down or bludgeon companies for money.

There are obviosly other things that we should do also to defang congress, but this would make a huge start.

I keep seeing post that we need term limits. The problem is not how long they are in office but the power they have while they are in office. We need to take back a lot of their power. First, we all saw what they tried to do to AIG using the tax code to penalize those they dissaprove of making money. The Fair Tax Plan would take away THE WHOLE tax code from them for their use to punush or reward those they dislike or like. The media will not give you true information because this would do much to decentralize government. Check it out for yourself at http://www.fairtax.org/ . This is not another tax on top of the others. but completely replaces all other taxes ( including the multitude of imbedded taxes ) with a much simpler system. Companies could focus on providing goods and services and not on how to minimize tax liabilities.

Paper money is only a representation of wealth. Wealth is the ability to obtain goods and services. If you could barter your goods and services for all the goods and services that you needed, you could be wealthy without owning any money. This would be very difficult to do. And since you can't take part of your house down to the store to buy items that you need money is used as a common IOU. Money is a TOOL of trade. When you accumalate money, it is a display of your ability to produce. Now that the Gov is flooding the economy with money that has little behing it, ie someones labor, it devalues goods and services, creating inflation which also destroys wealth.

With the housing slump, the value of my house has gone down and therefore my level of wealth. My house hasn't gotten any smaller, it's just that people are not willing to trade as much of their labor for my house as they they would have a couple of years ago. Nobody else got richer because of this event either.

So, you are equating the Bush administration to Hitler and his genocide?

The military in training it's people on how to handle being captured by an enemy subjects the trainees to some tourture like sleep deprivation, loud music, and yes, the famous water board. These are means that do not cause physical harm, just great mental duress and panic. You can not compair this to the brutal tourture used by our enemy. I think that guys like Burg would have rather have been forced to wear some womens panties on his head than lose there head.

I used to work for an engineering company that helped companies automate production. When this is done, companies remain very competative here in the US. There are two reasons why many companies don't do this, One, it is easier to just move production to a factory in China. You use the same technology with cheaper labor; there is nothing new that has to be done. This is the lazy solution; automating a production system requires hard work and a level of risk But if you never take any risks, you never can accomplish something great. Two, if the labor is unionized, they resist this solution because automation reduces jobs for the same amount ot product made. Many companies that automate are able to expand production because of the cost advatages and the number of jobs lost is minimal and the jobs that remain pay better because the employees are more productive. When production is moved to China everyone loses their job. ( I'm a union member so this is not just another union bashing coment) If automation isn't a good idea then why isn't Campbells soup made in China and not the US.

Problem is that the government give the money to those it wants to reward, It may not be those who need a little help.

You are very correct. Is it really charity when it is forced at the end of a gun? I give generously, but I prefer that I get to decide who gets the rewards of my labor. Chris, you did a good job finding verses about the greedy and wicked, now spend a little time finding out what the bible says about idleness and laziness. I think that you will find little tolerence for these people.

We need to limit the power of congress. The more power they have the less they listen and the more they create laws to give themselves more power. We have to limit the power they have in conrolling the money and the budget. They use tax laws to punnish some and to reward those who support them and their power. Take away the power of the tax code and you take away much of their power to try and control your lives. One way is to limit voting to those who have an vested interest, ie property owners, bussiness owners, or at least people that have been paying fed. income taxes. The other way is to get rid of the current tax system for the Fair Tax Plan, Most of what you will hear about this from the media is lies and distortions; surprise surprise. You can read for yourself at fairtax.org We need to kill the tax beast run by congress.
