>Be sure to read the Tax List at the end.

>This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article
>below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican or democrat. Charlie
>Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail
>directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis
>must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us
>every day. It's a short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering!

>545 vs. 300,000,000 People

>- By Charlie Reese
>
>Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then
>campaign against them.
>
>Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are
>against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
>
>Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and
>high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
>
>You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.
>
>You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations.
>The House of Representatives does.
>
>You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
>
>You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
>
>You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
>
>One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court
>justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly,
>legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems
>that plague this country.
>
>I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was
>created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty
>to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central
>bank.
>
>I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They
>have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a
>congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if
>they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the
>power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is
>the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
>
>Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what
>they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of
>party.
>
>What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount
>of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood
>up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. The President can
>only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
>
>The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole
>responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving
>appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? John Boehner. He
>is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the
>President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it,
>they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
>
>It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545
>people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and
>irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not
>traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth
>that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must
>follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
>
>If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
>
>If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
>
>If the Army & Marines are in **Iraq** and **Afghanistan** it's because they
>want them in Iraq and Afghanistan.
>
>If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan
>not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
>
>There are no insoluble government problems.
>
>Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire
>and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they
>can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from
>whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the
>belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the
>economy","inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they
>take an oath to do.
>
>Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.
>
>They, and they alone, have the power.
>
>They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their
>bosses.
>
>Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.
>
>We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess.

>Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper.
