"Improving the Economy/Strengthening the Middle Class?"

I just received in the mail a piece of typical propaganda from my U.S. Congressman. You know the slogan. It usually begins with stuff like "Working to Improve the Economy" or "Strengthening the Middle Class" as though the politician is out there in their work duds in the factory actually fixing a machine that will improve the economy. The truth is, most of the time, they are the people who messed up the economy with their regulations and taxes and mandates, then they propose something "new" from the government to fix whatever they broke in the first place.

But I digress. . .This particular politician (pick any Party--it applies to most of them), runs off a list of how their proposals for middle class tax cuts have given us peasants an extra $400 or $800. Or how they are personally protecting families from foreclosures (the Federal Governement began this whole mess with the Community Re-investment Act of 1977). Or the Politician talks about how he's going to "tackle" credit card problems with a "Credit Card Bill of Rights.'

A few questions Mr. or Mrs. Congressman: Where were you when 789 legal, profit-making Chysler Dealerships were forced out of business by the Federal Government a few weeks ago? Forty thousand middle class Americans were thrown out of work. And you did NOTHING. Senator or Representative, how is that "improving the economy" or "strengthening the middle class?" Where is any of this you say you are working on found in your job description in Article I of the U.S. Constitution? Where is it in your job description your task to pass bills you don't read, to spend trillions of dollars we don't have, and to create more bureacracies (run by Federal "czars") to ignore the Constitution, trash freedom in our land, and oversee every single aspect of our lives?

I've had enough of this mockery of the U.S. Constitution. Have you? Join me by moving out of Congress these people who believe they are above the law. Check out www.MoveOutCongress.com. Join the movement to restore freedom and the rule of law.

  1. I am curious how a president who promises to create jobs (as most presidents do) allows such a thing to happen.
