- Mommy & Daddy will pay for my sin from Nevada
- I have to leave my South Carolina home and high office to chase his true heart
They are bad enough but the worst are legislatures. Local, state or national. Take your pick, they are all dysfunctional and can not be depended on to accomplish anything. Which is the worst of the worst.
Congress -
House Democrats are busy bitching about the CIA not always telling them the truth- Most Americans do not care about the CIA and the truth. Most Americans care about health care, taxes, jobs, safe streets, garbage pick up, clean water and the CIA doing it's job by finding the bad guys and taking them out. Most Americans do not want to know the truth about the CIA activities.
House Republicans only care about saying NO to what ever POTUS has to offer. They care about what the extreme right wing radio and the Fox nut jobs tell them to care about. They care about calling the President a failure after 145 days yet they never once called W a failure even when they knew he was.
Senate Democrats only care about.......Who Knows? I think it's reelection and appearing on Meet the Press and setting themselves up for really good book deals, most will be too old for 2016
Senate Republicans only care about......Who Knows? I think they care about reelection and appearances on Meet the Press and setting themselves up for 2012.
Then there are the state legislatures.
California is out of business, they are handing out IOUs to vendors and will soon not pay state workers.
PA is once again is doing the budget dance and failing everyone they represent
New York, the worst of the worst, has been in the grips of a power struggle that was so important the people's business did not matter.
Each party is only playing to it's base.
The Democrat's only talk about making the wealthy pay more taxes and impose higher taxes on corporations. News Flash: The very wealthy do pay a lot of taxes but their accountants get them out of what the law calls on them to pay. And, this may be the biggest shock of all. CORPORATIONS DO NOT PAY TAXES! They pass the cost on to the customers. So, raising taxes on them will only be paid by me. Then the Democrats say let's let smokers pay more taxes at the same time they are pushing the nanny state to discourage the people from smoking.
The Republican's want a flat tax or to lower the rates for the wealthy. This will raise the taxes on me and lower the taxes on Warren Buffet and even he thinks he should pay more and his secretary should pay less. And, of course they believe in the sanctity of all marriages but their own. They want to deny the people a health care system as good as what they have. They write automatic pay raises into law for themselves at a time when many of us are getting our salaries cut or are not getting a raise anytime soon.
Something has to be done. Voting out all the incumbents may not solve the problem, things are not better in term limited states then they are in the rest of the states.
Do we need a third party? It has not helped in Britain, they are really no different than Labor or the Conservatives.
I am at a loss. So I suppose I will stick with the Dem's but I am not really proud of many of them lately. I do still support our President.
