Waiting on the World to Change...

[GMAN93Lightning]

The U.S. government has enough power to"provide for the general welfare," but it spends our tax money in the wrong areas. For example, the govenment gives welfare money to people who abuse the system. people who work or who are able to work receive a check each month. The government should use this extra money for the people who really need it.

So, we have the misuse of American taxpayers money and it seems like a building police state in the US. Terrorists?Granted this bill did not get passed but just the way it reads is kind of scary. Think about it, laws have been changing for just over 200 years is it possible for those laws to morph into something ugly like this or worse?? When i think police state I think of V for Vendetta. While this is good for the extreme side of a police state it lacks to show how it got to that point. This law and laws like it could get us to that point.

Is the government still for the people by the people? Can we get the support and go ask the government to bring our soldiers home? Would they even listen? I don't want this to turn into politics....it isn't one side or the other because they are all the same. Leave the "2 party" BS at the door and give an opinion that doesn't have to do with "Well the democrats ARE taking over". Why is this happening and can we stop it or is it already too late?:??:

Should have voted for Trump a few years back...his plan for paying off the national debt was pure genius. It's a shame people were too stupid to realize that.

25 years in jail seems a bit harsh. I suggest a four year stint in the Military. starting at the E-1 paygrade of course.

Trump? You mean Perot? He just jumped in to split the Repubican vote and **** up Bush 41. He didn't want to win. Just when his whole movement was gaining steam he threw his support to the Democrats.

Trump did have a good idea. This country really does have some problems. We should do away with a lot of the criminal law and when something happens just go civil.

in a way it is a thread about john mayer haha...i wrote this cause i listened to that song...with the whole

It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change

Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want



come on does no one want to discuss this??????

No, Trump. He ran in 96 and in 2000 IIRC. His plan was to take the top "xx" percentage of wealth in the United States, and make them pay an extra tax every 2 or so years. I forget the exact details. But basically, the wealthy people would pay extra taxes and eventually it would clear the national debt of 8 trillion dollars.

But being Americans we only saw "raise taxes," and didnt vote for him. Im not saying he'd make a good president, but that plan would have been great.
