There are several people in America who think Bill Clinton, the 42nd president was a great leader with a huge following. To them, I say, so was THE PIED PIPER OF HAMELIN! The Pied Piper's followers, at first, were rats. Clinton's followers are mostly democrats. Remember the children of Hamelin and what happened to them when they followed the Piper.

INSTANT TRASH-BACK OF NBC NIGHTLY NEWS/JAN 18, 2006
NBC Nightly news - Jan: 18, 2006, had a segment on corruption and lobbying in government. And they have been reporting on corruption on every American institution, except their own! for many years.
The basic theme was "MONEY CORRUPTS." And I agree. Todays's reporter was Lisa Myers, veteran reporter of NBC News. And about lobbyists giving millions of dollars, which one of the representatives for a lobby said is for "ACCESS," Lisa Myers said "it is up to the politicians to say NO to the lobbyist."
Hey, Lisa, you are right, it is upto Congressmen and Senators to refuse campaign cash which they pour on you during election time!. If you and other TV millionaires do not DEMAND THOSE OBSCENE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR A JOB THAT DESERVES NOT MORE THAN $ 200,000 A YEAR - HALF OF WHAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MAKES - AMERICAN CONSUMERS AND TAXPAYERS COULD SAVE A BUNDLE.
So, isn't upto YOU to refuse to take millions of dollars for a job which is not as important as brain surgery. Cut it out, will you? Don't be a hypocrite, the American people are not as stupid as you are!
Humbly yours,

ONE ELECTED PRESIDENT AND 535 "ACTING PRESIDENTS"
The Washington belt-way is a place where super-egos cross paths and breakdown everything. And the problem is that the United States, at any given time, has one elected President as C.E.O. of the world's largest corporation - United States Inc. - and 535 "acting-as-presidents" to delay, foul up or stop from solving the nation's pressing problems. Here are a few of major problems that need to be solved:
1. SOCIAL SECURITY: The "pay-as-you-go" social security system is the world's largest pyramid scheme. Its a 15% tax on workers and after thirty years of work if you die within a week after your retirement YOU LOSE EVERYTHING. The democrats tout social security is the greatest thing since slice bread. How so? 18 million government bureaucrats and elected politicians don't trust social security and they have their own secured pension. Why?
2. INCOME TAX: The internal revenue code is the world's most complicated, confusing system of rules and regulations. It is so complicated that even the Income Tax Commissioner gets someone else to do his taxes! It is true. And so does the tax expert Henry Block! Half of all taxpayers pay 97% of the tax and the other half pays 3% and "all men are created equal?"
3. EXCESSIVE GOV PAY: The average pay of a federal bureaucrat is $33, for state and local government bureaucrat it is $28 and for an average American worker in the private sector it is $17.00. The fact is that it is the TAXES COLLECTED FROM THE PRIVATE WORKER that pays for government bureaucrats. If you make $10.00 an hour can you hire a baby-sitter at $15.00 an hour to watch your baby so that you can go to work? The math wouldn't add up!
4. THE ULTIMATE KILL: So far the politicians and their buddies in bureaucracy and organized unions have been robbing us, and with the Supreme Court decision on eminent domain in June, 2005, now many local governments are embarking on a crusade for THE ULTIMATE KILL - to take our homes and properties and give it to some RICH DEVELOPERS!
AMERICA, it is time to wake up!

2005 Was a Year to remember. In just two hours and twenty-eight minutes it will be over. Thank God for that. Then comes 2006. I am looking forward to a peaceful and prosperous year for the United States and for the world.
To all those engaged in politics, I ask you to remember that there are only two reasons why people are in politics: (1) TO PROTECT WHAT YOU GOT and (2) TAKE WHAT OTHERS GOT!
If you are protecting what you got, good luck; and if you are taking what others got, please be civil, pay for what you take, in cash or in time. NOTHING IN THIS WORLD COMES FREE!
You do not have a right or a lien on what others have. You are not "entitled to" what others have, that is politician's interpretation and it is a legalized lie. You are entitled to something of equal value only when you perform a service for somebody.
So let us all begin the new year with a new outlook toward life and a new mindset - LIFE IS A TWO-WAY STREET.
