What is Wrong with America and How Can We Fix It?

I was reading the news on Google this morning when I saw an article saying that the Obama administration accused the Fox network of being part of the republican party. I guess we need a law now stating that you cannot disagree with the administration? No, but that is exactly how this sort of thing happens....read on for a little slice of truth and what you can do.

This would be one of the funniest stories to come out of the new administration yet, if it wasn't so damn scary. This is how our rights are eroded, little by little. Talk about killing the messenger. Why haven't ABC, NBC and CBS been admonished for their strong ties to the liberals? Wasn't it Dan Rather that had to resign his desk for using bogus documents to try and bring down Bush? Don't get me wrong...I think that Obama is trying to do what is right with health care. Too bad he doesn't see the real problem. If you want to get a handle on health care in America, you have to DESTROY the health insurance industry instead of giving them a monopoly on government subsidies for the next ten years. The doctors have long tried to get the actual costs of care by billing more, in return the insurance companies charge more and we are stuck in a cycle of skyrocketing prices. If we had no insurance companies we would get charged twelve cents for an aspirin instead of six dollars and seventy five cents. This is true for everything related to health care.

Critics will say that if you cut the profit from health care, then no new drugs or treatments would ever be developed. Really? Did Louis Pasteur develop pasteurization for the money? How many other examples are out there I could list? Hundreds. It wasn't until the modern age that treatment became entwined with profit. In fact, doctors these days are more likely to give you a new drug that doesn't work half as well as an old one because they are in the pockets of the drug companies. Mentioning drug companies, did you know that every year the NIH (National Institute of Health) spends billions on health care research. This money goes to develop drugs and treatments that once they are perfected and approved by the FDA, they are turned over to private enterprise. For example, say Pfizer wants to find a new AIDS drug, they throw in a couple of million, the NIH throws in a couple of Billion on top and Pfizer comes out the winner, not the tax payer who funded the majority of the research. If the money spent by the NIH was to be spent on preventative care, illness in America would cease to be a problem. By the way, if you think there aren't death panels already, then you know nothing of the health care industry....

If you truly wanted to keep privatized care, then fund the insurance through the government. Do away with all private health care insurance. Give every American a yearly preventative screening, if they eat right, exercise etc...then they pay no premium. If they smoke, drink and drug then bill them according to their habits and their age. Problem solved. The reason we cannot get government funded health care is that the doctors, hospitals and drug companies just don't want to give up their profit on our misery. A case in point, Tenn-care, Tennessee's attempt at Hillary care. When the Clinton's tried to revamp health care in the nineties, Tennessee jumped right in to prove it could work. What they didn't do was to hire their own doctors, had they done that, they could have made it work instead of almost breaking the state's economy. What they did do is to threaten doctors not to diagnose any condition that could be related to smoking. The state reaped billions in tobacco money that it wasn't about to use on anyone who was actually harmed by it....typical eh?

America, The only country in the world where profiting off of other peoples misery isn't only legal, it's encouraged. If the founding fathers had had a crystal ball they would have done allot of things differently. They were smart enough to separate us from religious overlords. They were smart enough to separate the powers of government. What they weren't smart enough to do was to ban lobbyists, they weren't smart enough to bridle democracy. They thought that they created a confederation of "free and independent states" but they were not smart enough to see that the system they created could be bogged down in two hundred years worth of bureaucratic bull**** that has been piled on top of the Constitution. Obama campaigned on a platform for change, what he didn't realize was that no president, no matter how powerful or popular can turn the tide of greed.

Health care is just one of the many problems facing the average American these days. The national debt has turned a once prosperous nation into a debtor nation. How did that happen? Well let me count the ways.... If you look in one of your kids history books, look up why we fought the American Revolution, it will fill your head with bull about taxes on tea. This is a load of crap. Before the Revolution, the money supply in the colonies was restricted. In order to fix the problem, the colonies issued what they called "colonial script" which was a debt free issue that allowed trade. This was a problem for the English Bankers, so they had King George III outlaw interest free colonial script forcing the colonies to borrow from the Bank of England at interest.

Benjamin Franklin was quoted as saying, "The refusal of King George III to allow the Colonies to operate an honest money system, which freed the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, was probably the prime cause of the Revolution." Once the revolution succeeded, the founding fathers didn't go far enough to prevent us from falling into the clutches of a "central bank." Franklin understood the dangers of debt, he once said, "It is better to go to bed hungry than to wake up in debt." Before King George III passed this law, there was no unemployment and little crime in the colonies, within a year after it passed, unemployment skyrocketed and crime was rampant. Look up Benjamin Franklin's thoughts on central banking.

So, what is a "central bank" and why does it keep us in debt? A central bank such as the "Federal Reserve" is a PRIVATE institution, not part of the government. When the government needs money, they borrow it from the "Fed" at interest by issuing bonds. By manipulating these bonds, they can control the money supply. The real secret is that for every dollar issued, we create more debt. If the United States Government were to ever pay off this debt, they would effectively destroy the currency because there would be no bonds to back the currency. I know, complicated isn't it. This article is way to short to explain the system in it's entirety, but if your curious, I suggest you read more about it. This is your country and this system keeps us ALL IN DEBT PERPETUALLY....

Next after health care and debt is lobbyists and the LAW....Not too long ago I was looking into the laws governing utilities. Why I was looking into it is a whole other article.... Anyway, I was reading the Tennessee Code Annotated, which is the set of books in Tennessee with all of our laws etc... This was a horrifying experience because of what I found. I used to own a Tennessee Code Annotated from the late 1800's. This law book was full of laws protecting the people. The new set is full of laws protecting the corporations from the people. What has happened here? Consider the recent changes to the bankruptcy laws, it used to be that the only two things that you could not exclude from bankruptcy was student loans and taxes. Now you are no longer allowed to exclude credit card debt. How is it that an industry which preys on the weak is protected by the government from us? I have said it before and I will say it again, "WHAT IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS ISN'T ALWAYS GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE!!!"

Now, the last big iron ball around our necks, TAXES. First, I must say that the Federal Income Tax is an ILLEGAL TAX ON AMERICANS. Bring that argument up in court and you will be shown the 16th amendment to the constitution. In 1913, the sixteenth amendment was passed in the congress of the United States, however, it was not law until it was ratified by the states. IT WAS NEVER RATIFIED, Secretary of State Philander Knox fraudulently announced ratification. Now, if you know anything about the constitution you would know that there is no time limit on ratification. If the government wanted to make the federal income tax a legal tax, they could go back to the states and have it ratified. They wont do this because to do so would admit that they have been illegally taxing you, your parents, your grandparents and your great-grandparents since 1913. Thomas Jefferson said that the people shouldn't fear their government, the government should fear the people. They no longer fear us, that is why our soldiers are trained to fight us as well as our enemies. I could write a whole article on why we are truly despised by the rest of the world....but that will wait, unless they jail me for this one....

This alone is not the entire problem with taxes. Not long ago there was a college of economics that offered a ten thousand dollar prize for anyone who could figure out how many taxes were on a loaf of bread. No one was able to collect because it cannot be done. We need a new tax system, one that doesn't unfairly tax the poor. If you ask an economist about this he will tell you that if you line a group of people up representing the poorest with the richest, you would go through over fifty percent of the line before you collected one cent in taxes. This is a lie....yes, when you are talking federal income tax, this is sort of true. It's the hidden taxes that get the poor, like the tax on bread. When you buy a loaf of bread, you are paying a tax on the tractor that harvested the wheat. The tax on the seed. The tax on the fuel for the tractor. The tax on the property the wheat was grown on. The tax on the wages of the guy driving the tractor. The tax on the driver to get the wheat to processing. The tax on the truck that took it to processing. The tax on the fuel in the truck. The tax on the processing plants land. The tax on the guy running the machines at the processing plant. The tax on the machines that process the wheat. The tax on the guy who takes the wheat to the bakery........I could go on and fill an entire novel with the taxes just on a loaf of bread.

Now that we have established what is really wrong, what can YOU DO. Well, I have always said that Americans will never revolt because the poorest of the poor are housed and fed. Because they are entertained by mindless crap through the greatest mind controller in history, your television. Yes, there are homeless out there, but most of them either have mental or addiction problems. If they were to revolt, who would listen? The only people who can save America are the lower to middle class and if you haven't noticed, the middle class is slipping fast. We must give the government an ultimatum, a time limit, a list of things we demand and a time frame to provide them. So, what should we ask for?

First, an absolute ban on lobbyists, with bribes, sweetheart deals and impropriety considered treason and dealt with like treason should be dealt with, i.e hanging.
Second, no house or senate member could be elected if he/she makes more than fifty thousand a year, get the people in office instead of the corporations, with NO LOOPHOLES, we need working class people making laws for working class people
Third, universal health care for all, unconditional of course.
Fourth, the absolute destruction of the central banking system with congress issuing debt free currency.
Fifth, disembowel the Internal Revenue Service
Sixth, truth in all money transactions, no posting future revenue as profits or other schemes
Seventh, one man one vote, no more electoral college to cheat the voters
Eighth, the right of states to make their own laws reinstated, no federal government interfering with states rights
Ninth, trashing and revamping of all laws on the books, protect the people from the corporations instead of protecting them from us.
Tenth, Limit profits on necessities such as food
Eleventh, the American people paid for the infrastructure, no charge for water or electricity to residential customers.
Twelfth, put teeth back in the monopoly laws, today one man may sit on as many as thirty boards
Thirteen, if you want to sell to the American public, then 30% of all product must be produced in America or you will pay an import tax to equalize trade
Fourteen, no product made with slave labor (that means you China) could be sold in America
Fifteen, TAX THE HELL OUT OF THE SUPER RICH, use the money to improve schools
Sixteen, Teach children to their strengths and quit wasting time, the current system doesn't work
Seventeen, Legalize drugs, tax the crap out of them and use the money for prevention and rehabilitation (over 50% of the prisoners in American jails are non-violent drug offenders) the system works, when you take away the thrill of doing something illegal and make it look pitiful, you no longer entice your children
Eighteen, let the people decide, not me, not the government, they decide these things now without our consent our approval, in fact, it should be up to each "free and independent state" just like the constitution said, before they neutered it....

How do we get the government to give us what we want, well, we pick a day. Say, January the First 2010, if they don't relinquish the power and give it back to the people. First, we no longer pay any taxes. We no longer give the government any money for registering our cars, tags, except when the tax is built in for food etc. Second, we buy nothing we don't need, we kill the economy. Third, we pay no mortgages, no car loans, nothing, we break the banks. Fourth, we take authority away from law enforcement, non-violent resistance, they arrest you for whatever, you stay in jail, make them feed you, soon they will not be able to keep us all. Fifth, we talk to our servicemen and women, they are all our sisters, brothers, sons, daughters. If we use non-violent resistance to the powers that be, the military wont turn on us. I once thought it was possible to use the vote to change things, I now see that it is not possible. I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't put a price on my own head by writing this, if so, then so be it.....If you support a free America for Americans. If you support a government of the people, for the people by the people, then you can show it. It will not be easy, no change has ever been made without sacrifice. What are you willing to give so that your children can be free in a free country, because if you don't do something, they will only be free in a token kind of way......Thank you, you can contact me at drenchzgrinch@yahoo.com good luck to you all.

One last note, if you don't believe anything I have said, read your history. Not the books from your kids schools either, they are full of misrepresentations and flat out lies. The election of Obama is proof that the current system cannot be changed unless the people stand up and say, we are not going to take it anymore. I wasn't thrilled with Obama as a choice for President, yet, when he won, he became our President. Now he is learning that the job is a token, there is no real power in it unless you want to bomb the crap out of something. Read some real history and act upon it, the truth can set us all free....If you think you are free now, leave the house without your papers.... funny, thats what they told us about the U.S.S.R when I was in school, our police no longer serve and protect, they harass and accuse, damn what a world....good luck and if you read this far, thanks for listening to my rant, I had to get it out, God bless you
