What do you think is ONE most important change to fix our government?

[bripat9643]

I am not talking about wishy washy stuff like "we need to get honest people elected" or "politicians should stop fighting" or "media is stupid to publicize idiots" etc. I am talking about HOW, I mean I need a clear answer.

I am confident without a doubt that this video, in which I put my soul in, is the only alternative to the plague of American politics, but let me see you put out a better alternative if you can - I dare you.

Repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments and the commerce clause.

The only thing that either side barely respects anymore is the Constitution. Notice I said "barely".

We need to amend the Constitution in about ten different amendments to make it more perfect. When you had men and women of good faith staffing their posts in Congress, you had a functional government. Now you have party installations staffing those posts and it's only about consolidating their power. So a new set of rules needs to be written. For starters, it should include the following:

1. Any bill passed by one house must be voted on by the full body of the other house within 90 days. No more Harry Reid/Mitch McConnell defacto pocket vetoes.
2. Create a flat tax of X%; no loopholes. You make $1, you pay X% of that dollar. You make $2, you pay twice the amount.
3. Presidents must win the Popular vote as well as the Electoral College vote
4. Votes of cloture in the Senate are 51; no more needing 60 to do anything.
5. House seats are now determined by zip codes. If the Census gives your state 10 representatives and you have 100 zip codes, you represent 10 zip codes decided by lottery; not geography. New lotteries are held every 10 years.
6. One of Mitt Romney's proposals makes great sense. If regulations on the Federal or State level are going to have an impact of $100M or more, they must be voted on by the Federal or State legislatures before being enacted.

If it is right to end collective bargaining for teachers then it is right to end collective bargaining for political parties.

 

[freedombecki]

I just had an Epiphany. How about the Legislators be Required to Read Everything they Vote into Law before they Vote on it? Is it really asking too much?

Let's bring the Tax Code down to 25 Pages or Less, and just go flat Tax.

Also that they have to write it and no bill submitted by lobbyists is allowed.

Many times the submitter of the bill does not even know what is in it.

Lobbyists are often American citizens, too, uscitizen. To not allow citizens to participate in government goes against the First Amendment. Just sayin'.

 

[freedombecki]

If it is right to end collective bargaining for teachers then it is right to end collective bargaining for political parties.

It's really time to take education out of government jurisdiction and put it back in the hands of the parents and their churches, where it started. Let the churches pay the teachers. It's a tradition.

Return this nation to a Constitutional Federal Republic.
Pay down the $15,000,000,000,000 debt
Stop untold adventurism
Replace socialism with Republism.
Return the nation "one for all, all for one", instead of this new agey thing of "me"

Those 5 things would return us to a footing of dogged will success which is our bent on the voayge anyway.

Also, increase NASA's budget to Apollo era funding levels.

Simple fix.

If you haven't paid income taxes for at least one half of any voting cycle, then you don't get to vote in the next election. That includes both welfare queens and the elderly who are no longer paying into the system.

Entirely too many people who have NO skin in the game voting for their own self interests.

Perfect. You are correct and good analogy.

[pvsi.]

Let's limit the amount of times something can be Taxed too.

Let's limit the Governments cut on Lotteries so that the Winner gets to keep 50% of the Winnings, unless the Government is willing to pay for 50% of our Tickets.

Let's make the dog play a violin
Wait a minute.... HOW are we going to do that? same question applies to you. I gave a suggestion, it requires unity, so either disagree or join.

Easy, as you suggested in your video, just change/pass laws to make this happen (not the lottery thing the amount of times taxed thing)

Ok, now we are getting somewhere, but let me rephrase the question just one more time: do you expect the establishment media selected candidates like Mitt Romney or Obama Hussein to pass these laws you and I and the rest of decent Americans are talking about? because I certainly do NOT expect them to pass these laws, but I am convinced that if all of a sudden different people just like you display a sign of unity towards something outside the establishment, such as pvsi.net, then I will my message, OUR message, my speech will not seem like that of a lone crazy lunatic, and the idea will catch on like a wild fire - all it needs is a spark. so do not be shy to put that url in your signature - I am not seeking career, business, or anything else out of it and you know it - people display American flag - but any communist can wave an American flag to pretend to be a patriot - this election season, let the pvsi.net banner indicate which side of America you side with, because God knows, democrats and republicans on television, both side with special interests before they side with American people.

I agree with the bold part, but how are you going to do this, to get the government to pass such a law??? also, what about business people who invested all their income into their business? because I fall into that category myself.

 

[Douger]

Interesting inquiry !
I figure the only "cure" will be a full scale nookyoulerr(GWB) attack on DC and Jew Yawk Shitty. Ahhh Maybe toss Los Angeles( fallen angels) in for good measure.
After that murkins will realize "central" banking and "federal" governing are ******* bullshit.

The voters are selecting Obama and Romney; not the media. We get the government we deserve.

Currently we have a system where both parties, when confronted with malfeasance from one of their members answer in some form or fashion, "Yeah but..." and try to indict someone from the other side of the aisle or minimize the act. Everybody does it so nobody is guilty.

On this forum, I brought up how the previous administration outed Valarie Plame and potentially put her life at risk. The response wasn't that they didn't do it; the response was that her life wasn't in danger.

You can't expect anything on the scale you suggest to be done by an Obama administration, a Romney administration, a Nikki Haley administration or an administration that saw the second coming of Thomas Jefferson. The game is run by the parties now and it is run for the further advancement of the parties. They are the political equivalent of labor unions there only to advance their causes. They justify it by making the claim--the true claim--that as they grow, so does their member's power/benefits/etc... The problem is that the other actor on the stage is minimized; the company and, in the case of politics, the Country as a whole.

The only thing that can implement the type of changes you are suggesting in the OP is a change to the Constitution that is set to be implemented in 10 years or at some future date.

For this message and this response, it is unlikely such a bill will be passed by this legislative body without monumental support of the people who are engaged in the current political system. What you don't seem to be understanding, if I may, is that if you're "outside" the establishment, you're really not going to be listened to regardless of your message.

A guy on the corner asks you for a dollar. You keep your window rolled up.
Your co worker asks to borrow a buck. You reach for your wallet.

Whats the difference; you know him, you don't know the guy on the corner.

The change has to come from within. Since that won't happen, the source code is all that is left that can be changed.

Easy fix:

Require all voters to pass an examination to prove at least minimum knowledge of Law, Government, Economy, Foreign Affairs, and Domestic Affairs.

 

[pvsi.]

Problem is failure to understand reality. "I am smart, majority are idiots" - comforting thought, I know:

By the way, here is why the establishment media in politics is an absolute enemy of the nation: Each side, the left and the right, are being completely sincere, honest and truthful, exposing and accusing the other side. there is only one problem: each side, INTENTIONALLY, does not offer any real solution. because the solution to our nation would conflict with the special interests that are in control of the media.
CNN, FOX NEWS and MSNBC have all gone as far as adding boos and cheers into the mix when the candidates speak, to either enhance or discredit their statements to fit their agenda - this is all documented, at pvsi.net
On January 24th of 2012, on CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC, the Ex Federal Reserve bank Chairman Herman Cain, gave a "tea party response" to Obamas state of the union address. My fellow Americans, Ex Fed Herman Cain, may represent the IRS or the fed, but he does not represent the tea party - the only reason this pizza face, and other democrats and republicans like him are chosen by the establishment media, is to discourage people, to turn us against any anti establishment movement that is becoming too popular - they are the masters of deception and hypocrisy. they do this while pretending to care about our unity. they profit and prosper from conflicts and controversy - they are the reason our nation is divided.
And when the occupy wall street movement began to grow, these same elites started rounding up imbeciles, gangsters and other lowlives, bussing them into the protests, imbeding them with the decent people, who were initially protesting non other then government bailouts of the banks and other special interests - again, these lowlives, who were immediately put in the media spotlight, did not represent the occupy wall street movement.
This is why the establishment media and their candidates Hussein Obama, Mitt Romney and the rest, are the absolute enemy of the nation. and pvsi.net is the only possible solution to this plague rather then any other movement or politician, capable of profitting in the process.

Government should simply take care of national infrastructure crap, like the manager of an apartment complex. Keep the halls clean. Mow the yard. Haul my trash away. Keep out the rift raft. Keep the building repaired. Maintain the peace and evict/imprison the ass holes, etc.

What I don't want a government or my apartment manager to be doing is worrying if everything is ******* FAIR and if not then they use their master key to enter my neighbors life/apartment and jack their stuff for my personal gain/benefit. That's immoral. I don't want my government or apartment manager making any personal decisions for me, my life, or on my behalf, and jacking others for me.

Government needs to get the flying **** out of our personal lives and affairs and worry about pot holes in the road and not pot holes in our private personal lives.

 

[sealybobo]

Campaign Finance Reform.

I heard it takes $5 million dollar to win a seat in the state house. So for a job that pays $200,000 a year, that person has to campaign every day for 4 years so they can win back their seat. Of course they are slaves to lobbyists.

Then I would do lobbyist reform next. No money. Take money out of politics.

Then undo Citizens United.

Impossible.

The conservative mantra is "let the market decide." But there is no market independent of government, so what they're really saying is, "Stop government from defending workers and the middle class, and let the corporations decide how much to pay for labor and how to trade.

Markets are a creation of government, just as corporations exist only by authorization of government. Governments set the rules of the market. And, since our government is of, by, and for We The People, those rules have historically been set to first maximize the public good resulting from people doing business.

If you want to play the game of business, we've said in the US since 1784 (when Tench Coxe got the first tariffs passed "to protect domestic industries") then you have to play in a way that both makes you money AND serves the public interest.

Democracy - Not "The Free Market" - Will Save America's Middle Class

 

[inALIENable]

. . . so what they're really saying is, "Stop government from defending workers and the middle class, and let the corporations decide how much to pay for labor and how to trade.

That's silly, unless you are aslave.

In a free nation, all options are on the table. I do not need to work for another. No mature and responsible ADULT needs too. In a free state, any of us can become our own corporation and employer and pay ourselves whatever percent of the corporate profits we freaking please. I do it everyday myself. Nobody else decides what I'm paid except ME and I want to keep it that way.

You don't let the gawdamn bratty kids tell dear mommy and daddy how much their allowance will be. That's how it works in a commie state, dear mommy and daddy decide.

Government should be like apartment managers.

Gawd, so many ADULT humans out there have become immature whiny babies needing their mommy and daddy. It's damn embarrassing to be of the same species as many of you out there. I'm sure glad I'm ME..

The best way I can prove you wrong about the part in red is to suggest you watch my speech, again if necessary. here is an excerpt, it's in the first minute of speech:

"And people may THINK, that majority of Americans are idiots for electing such stupid leaders, but you should ask yourself - where would those leading candidates such as Mitt Romney, Hussein Obama and Rick Santorum, where would they all be without the publicity of the establishment media? because to get elected, they all claim that they are NOT part of the establishment"

It is comforting to watch television, Jerry Springer type shows and ravel in a notion that you are the smart one living among idiots - that's what entertainment is all about - to make us feel better.

 

[inALIENable]

I don't do teevee, don't even own one of them brainwashing idiot boxes of indoctrination. Got rid of the thing after read 1984 long ago. Teevee is for sick people laying in hospital beds and old people in wheelchairs .. oh, and members of the dear leader party (because YOU MUST watch).

Here's a funny thought, what if everyone turned off and got rid of teevee. Do you think dear leader would come on teevee and request you all turn them back on? ? Oh wait, how stoopid of me, LOL, how could dear leader do that if nobody's listening any more?

ADULTS, stop making up excuses why you need a nanny dear leader state to manage your pitiful lives. Government should govern the nation, not our personal lives. I'm a grown up, I'll handle my own personal affairs please.

What a nightmare. Government gone wild. Thank god for the second amendment, which I'm sure was meant to STOP change!
