In Obamas classless society I want to know which rooms in his mansion in Chicago are available for my wife and I to use when we go to the mid-west to visit family?

Here is a link to a Google Map with all publicly available information on the personnel of the "newspaper" [should read sensation seeking yellow journalistic rag] that published the list: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=201650905593228814533.0004d1c39ceef0f9f292a&gl=us&hl=en&ie=UTF8&t=m&source=embed&ll=40.96953,-73.855591&spn=0.379541,0.222049

Lets ban the Subway Trains. After all that was the actual mechanical device that caused the fatal injuries. It should be obvious that since there have been two people deliberately murdered by homicidal maniacs in the last 6 months that it is the Subway Trains that are inherently unsafe. You can't keep ~crazy people~ from killing other people unless you are willing to isolate the crazies from society. Since the 1960s the ACLU and other touch feely groups, whose chief hallmark is a lack of common sense, have been working to put as many crazy people as possible in contact with the general public on a daily basis. The net result is that we have reached the situation where the asylums are empty and the crazy people are running amok.

government contract. I'm also for the taxation of any and all money received as "political contributions" over and above {for the sake of discussion} $5000 per campaign cycle at the regular income rate. Politicians who get re-elected are engaging in a professional activity that they have exempted themselves from while looking for every dollar they can coerce [under threat of prosecution, fine and jail time] from private businesspeople. Then at the end of their [already lucrative] political career they walk off with the "residual" from decades of hoarded contributions from rent seeking supplicants. There is no legitimate justification for exempting these people from the tax burden that they impose on the rest of us.

If we are going to have any discussion about the accumulation of wealth and ~fairness~ then the accumulation of outsized wealth by elected public officials needs to be a major sub-topic of the discussion. We need to require all elected officials to file a statement of net worth upon taking office, not just for that person but for anyone that they have a financial relationship. They then need to fall in a special tax classification where any gain in net worth over the rate of inflation plus a stated percentage [I think 2% would be reasonable] is taxed at ~double~ the rate of private citizens. This would limit the ability of people like Pelosi and her husband from gaining an absolutely obscene net worth off of "overly generous" [read fat]

We used to have adequate public funds to take care of those who would harm themselves and others by reason of insanity. We took that money, starting in the 60s and turned the inmates of the asylums loose on the public streets. We gave the money saved to those who would willingly sponge off the public. We are still pursuing the same irrational policies today, and our increasingly out of control and unstable society is the product.

If we want to make it easier to lock up those that are determined to be a menace to society maybe we should start with the professional politicians. The belief that the current method of determining the federal budget is rational has to be an indication of an inherently irrational and unbalanced mind. The demonstrated results of that belief in the ongoing wreck that is federal finance can easily be proven to have harmed the American Public and is a precursor to violent action on the part of the perpetrators.

The problem is that the majority of the RINOs aren't interested in anything but the status quo as long as they are top fly on the dungheap. The number of elected representatives in Washington that have the real welfare of the country as their main priority can be counted on two hands with digits left over. We have too many people whose chief interest is feathering their own nest and will do whatever immoral act is necessary to further their own political career, including the sell-out of the very people who got them elected.

We need elected officials that will make a written commitment to reduce spending increases to ~below~ the rate of inflation until we have both A. The total expenditures in balance, not just the budget but all of the off line items as well, and B. The total federal debt is reduced to no more than 9 months GDP excepting only in time of declared war with a Congressional Resolution from both houses acknowledging that we are at war.

he same story occurs across the country in efforts large and small. This is just another example of either a deliberate attempt to crush the American Culture or the Law of Unintended Consequences once again being unleashed on an unsuspecting public by inept and greedy politicians.

Groups such as the Kiwanis, Lions Club, and many others that provide support for many community works will find it hard to attract the people to do the fundraising when they are reduced to another revenue source for Washington D.C. You like the Rose Parade on New Years Day? All of those community floats are built by local 501c3 groups that will suddenly find that they need a whole lot more money to enter a float in the parade, if there still is a parade. The Tournament of Roses Committee that organises the whole thing is all civic minded volunteers. The money they get from the commercial entrants is only enough to cover expenses. Will they be able to demand 30% or more increase? Probably not. The same story occurs across the country in effo
