Politicians vis-a-vis Representatives
Politicians only ask two questions when asked to take action.
Politicians ask how will this action help me get elected or stay in
office? or How will this hurt my getting elected or staying in office?
Representatives of the people ask how their action will help or hurt
the people who elected them. Representatives are very rare. They put
principle above politics.
Those in the House who didn't stand (Politicians) with Steve King of
Iowa (Representative) when he proposed the FairTax as the solution to
the financial crisis last February are self-serving indeed. They
selfishly refuse to surrender the power they have over our lives by
taxing our income. They have used this power to build for themselves a
really plush life style that (it's only human) they are loathe to give
up.
With control of the wealth of our nation they have much to sell to
the Big Money interests that finance the campaigns of both parties. The
basis of the power Congress has to dictate to us rather than represent
us is the 16th Amendment and the Federal Reserve Act. Congress must
give up the power to tax our income and take back from the Federal
Reserve the power to coin money and determine the value thereof before
our government can return to being the one created by our founding
fathers, a nation established under God of free individuals governing
themselves.
Only when the number of FairTax supporters grows to the point that they
realize that there are enough voters to kick them out or keep them out
of office will they pass the FairTax. While our numbers fall short of
that, they will keep their "kingdom" intact. As long as they can issue
and control our money they can snub their noses at us and even our
basic rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
(prosperity).
Do all you can to recruit new Zappers to turn up the heat and run them
out of our kitchen. This was our country. It can be ours again if we
but will it to be!
