Thread: Study: Congress Literally Doesn't Care What You Think

If this is true, and I have no reason to doubt it, we have "trouble right here in River City".

Now, I know some of you are tired of me posting about the FairTax, but listen up, if the Princeton/Northwestern Study is true, then we have to change the way to control our government, and as I've explained a few times before, the FairTax gives us that control.

When Americans are happy and doing well, we spend money, when are aren't, we don't. The FairTax tells through our spending when we're happy and doing well, because it's a voluntary tax on spending, happiness, and doing well. For the first time since 1913, the FairTax would give Americans their power back because when we're spending because we're happy and doing well, our businesses are doing well, and when our businesses are doing well, they're supporting the politicians who are ensuring our well-being which computes directly into our spending.

Furthermore, when we're spending because we're happy and doing well, our government does well. As a consequence, everyone does well by keeping us happy and doing well. When they try these plots, schemes and stunts like immigration and free trade treason and gun control and so forth, things that harm us, make us unhappy, and cause us not to do well, then we cutback on our spending, businesses say to the government "what are you doing, you're messing up my customers" and the government says "oh sorry, we'll correct that straight-away".

Because the FairTax is collected monthly and public information that can be reported on the news and in the newspapers much like a stock report, everyone knows every month how much our taxable purchases amount to, and how much revenue the government is going to collect that month. You're not happy, make 'em suffer. The turn-around on a correction is no longer 2 years, 4 years, or 6 years, it's monthly.

After all, it's obviously not our opinions or votes they want, it's our money. If they think they can live their Fat Cat Lifestyles under the FairTax by selling out American Workers, American Citizens and American Voters, then they'll just have to think again.

FairTax legislation is HR 25 in the US House of Representatives and S 155 in the US Senate.

Patriots are also up against another aspect of elected representatives being self-serving: 'Bamacrats are throwing American workers under the bus, to get the future votes of all those Undocumented Democrats. (The Repub leadership is huffing and puffing about 'Bama's illegal executive amnesty, then phoning their big money donors, to let those folks know that more surplus labor is on way. So they're every bit as corrupt as are 'Bamacrats, but their selling out American workers is consistent with politicos pandering to big money.)

That's basically what the Study found to be the case. It's not the opinion, it's not the will of the people, it's the money. You know back in the day when basically just well to do or "rich" people served in Congress, they did so without pay for the most part, they had their own lives, careers, businesses and enterprises and spent as little time in DC as they could get away with. I opposed the big salary increases for Congress for that reason, because it seemed to me that if you couldn't afford to serve our country for free or a small stipend, you would be looking to serve for the money associated with it. And, I do believe that's what we've ended up with.
