I loved Clinton's "is" speech. If you'll remember the judges and lawyers didn't smile. They knew what he was saying. When you read the law the first thing that you what to read are the definitions. For instance the term United States has three meanings: 1) a nation among nations; 2) the area over which the federal government is sovereign; 3) the 50 states united by and under the constitution. {See Hooven & Allison Co. v. Evatt, U.S.Ohio, 324 U.S. 652, 65 S.Ct. 870, 880, 89 L.Ed. 1252} Laws passed for one United States don't necessarily apply to the other United States. Say it was prohibited by the constitution to tax oranges. The congress critters pass a tax on apples, which is legal. Then in the definitions they say that the word orange means apple. Then they show you the law that says there is a tax on oranges. The court says that the tax is legal. You go away thinking that there is a conspiracy, or that the judge has been bought. When in fact the judge was right. As the law reads there is a tax on oranges, which you are required to pay since you didn't point out that the word in the law means apples. It is not the duty of the court to protect your rights. That is your responsibility. The United States Supreme Court has stated that "Those who don't demand their rights don't have any." One of Oklahoma's attorney generals sated, "If you don't know your rights, you don't have any."

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was "The law is your friend. Learn it."

Buy a law dictionary and look up the words that you think you know the meaning of. I think you'll have a few surprises.

This jewel has been around before,
but it seems so true..

At first I thought this was funny....then I realized the awful truth of it.
Be sure to read all the way to the end.

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.

Put these words
Upon his tomb,
Taxes drove me
to my doom....'

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our
nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had
absolutely no national debt, had the largest
middleclass in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the
kids.

What in the hell happened? Can you spell
'politicians?'

And I still have to 'press 1' for English!?

I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times!!! YOU
can help it get there!!!

I'm against abolishing the electoral college. If the president is elected by popular vote then New York City would override and cancel out the states of Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, Alaska, South Dakota, Delaware, Montana, Rhode Island and Hawaii. The city of Denver has more people, and would cancel, out Wyoming.

Legalize all drugs. Make them prescription. The taxes collected must be spent on treating the addicts. Make it a felony (10 years hard labor, no parole) if you sell or give drugs to a minor. Minors addicted when this law is passed shall be treated as an adult.

Remove the profit and most of the drug problems will go away. Heroin doesn't cost much more, if any, to produce than coffee. An addict could work at McDonald's and pay for his habit. You don't have pushers selling beer at school because the profit isn't worth the penalty.

I would also like the taxing clauses of the constitution and all state tax laws to be repealed and replaced with a national transaction tax. The transaction tax would be 2% with no exemptions. The seller and the buyer would each pay 2%. Washington would get 1%, the state would get 2% and the other 1% would be apportioned to the counties based on the population of the county.

The only exception to this would be a 50 cent per gallon motor fuel tax, with no exemptions. The state gets 30 cents and the feds get 20 cents. It could only be spent for the construction and maintaining of the highways. This means steel, concrete, or asphalt. If the state or city wants bike paths, jogging trails or landscaping they can pay for it out of their money.

This is what I would like WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES to send to congress:

We the People of the United States demand that Congress immediately pass and send to the States for ratification the following amendments to the United States Constitution.

1.Officials shall be exempt from no law, regulation, policy, tax or requirement. Nor shall officials receive any benefit or privilege not available to the average citizen unless needed to carry out the duties of their office. The term official means any person hired, elected or appointed to any level of government. [No more reserved parking, free haircuts, special tax deductions, etc.]

2.Each bill shall embrace but one object, which shall be identified in the title. [If you are passing a highway bill the bill can only deal with highways. Not railroads, museums, parks, etc.] [Texas has this requirement]

3.Each bill shall, immediately after the title, state the article and section of the United Sates Constitution that gives congress the authority to pass said bill. Laws passed prior to this amendment shall not receive additional funding until they are amended to state the article and section of the constitution that authorized congress to pass the original bill. Any law that congress can not state the article and section of the constitution that authorized congress to pass the original bill the law shall be declared void.

4.Each bill shall be read aloud in its entirety three times in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Members not present during one of the entire readings shall be in-eligible to vote on the bill. A non vote counts as a no vote. Congress may declare an emergency to by-pass this requirement. Bills and laws passed during an emergency expire after 90 days. No bill embracing the same subject as a bill passed during an emergency may be passed until it has been read three times on the floor of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. [Now your congress critter can't say "I didn't know what I was voting for." If I'm required to live under a 300 page law, congress can listen to every word of it.]

5.If congress fails to carry out a constitutionally mandated requirement they shall have their salary reduced by three tenths of one percent (00.3%) for each day the requirement is not met. [Don’t pass the spending appropriations by October 1st. start taking a pay cut. For a $150,000 salary that works out to $450 a day]

6.A treaty can not amend the Constitution. Any treaty, or part of a treaty, that violates the Constitution shall be void.

7.A corporation or an alien is not equal to a citizen and is not entitled to the same privileges or Constitutional protections as a citizen.

8.No person may be born a citizen of the United States unless one of his birth parents is a citizen of the United States. No person over the age of 18 years shall be a citizen of the United States and a citizen of another country. Any person over the age of 18 who has not legally revoked his foreign citizenship shall be declared a non citizen of the United States. Upon a person becoming a naturalized citizen of the United States that person’s children under the age of 18 shall also be declared citizens of the United States.

9.Only those who are eligible to vote may contribute money or anything of value to a politician or a political organization. Any person who knowingly accepts an illegal contribution shall serve not less than two (2) years in a medium security prison in their home state.

10.Any official who uses his office to violate the law for personal gain shall serve not less than ten (10) years in a medium security prison in his home state. The term official means any person hired, elected or appointed to any level of government. [Medium security means no golf, tennis, ect.]
