Restaurant Food Taxes,... ,, Consider whether to blame:
Those who campaign against problems
- but who actually created them and continue to make them worse:
Career politicians with their daily inaction, or ineffective actions.
Those who proposes the federal budget:
The U.
S.
President and his office.
Blame the White House for running the government badly.
The ones who criticize the U.
S.
President for creating the deficits.
The president proposes spending and the budget.
He cannot vote for the laws or funds or force the Congress
-- who does vote them up or down
-- to accept his plans and/or budgets. , It's their fiscal policy (taxes and spending).
Congress sets that fiscal policy; plus they oversee and can indirectly influence or control monetary policy which is set by the Federal Reserve Bank. , That 545 excludes the members of the Federal Reserve Board which was created by the Congress.
In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency off onto a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
That also excludes the special interests like organizations and lobbyists.
They have no legal authority.
They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one thing.
If they offer a politician a large contribution to vote for their ideas
-- the politician has the power to accept or reject it.
But, no matter what the lobbyists promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes. -
Step 2: indirectly (called hidden taxes).
If there is are unfair taxes: blame congress.
Unfair red ink (overspending) is because they don't "put the budget in the black".
Your taxes and fees have to pay for their decision, good or indiscretion.
Wars, and undeclared wars
-- when the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines are engaged it is because "the majority of the 545 allow that".
Whether politicians are acceptable rests upon their power to declare war, and to rule on the way it is done.
Of course, wars cost money and lives.
Very high retirement checks for the 545 are because "they setup their perks" that way or do not object loudly enough. , This supreme law of the land gives sole responsibility to the U.
S.
House of Representatives for originating taxes and spending (appropriations) bills.
If the senate originates them, the House will not accept that.
The speaker of the House who handles coordinating this responsibility is elected by House colleagues as the leader of the majority party in the House.
The Senate can make changes and then it has to be agreed between the two.
The Speaker and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget that they want.
If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to with a 2/3 vote of the members. , Complex domestic problem solutions and failings are largely traceable to those 545 people.
Consider:
Working through the ballot box by helping your candidates and voting for your ideals.
Writing letters to officials, editors,...
Calling talk shows on radio and TV: hold news and television shows accountable for not exposing bad policies that are not exposed. ,,, These cannot prevent their trying to do what they took their oath to do. , They can be held accountable by you as one of their individual bosses. , Working together you can vote great numbers of them out of office and clean up their messes. , You're it! -
Step 3: Identify your hidden taxes: you pay dozens of them.
-
Step 4: Examine the taxes that are costs in all products.
-
Step 5: Consider Taxes As Usual.
-
Step 6: Consider voting against those who claim to be against inflation and high taxes -- but
-
Step 7: who: Pass more expenditures that require more taxes and borrowing; Whose taxes may cause costs including inflation that can contribute to your job opportunities or job losses to countries with lower standards and/or lower costs; Can abolish redundant and excessive bureaucracies but don't; Can be influenced by lobbyists
-
Step 8: whose excessive gifts and advice they could outlaw; Who do not well regulate the regulators
-
Step 9: to whom they give their powers and from whom they could take the powers.
-
Step 10: Consider working against those who together (see the 545 to consider blaming below) create all national policy
-
Step 11: taxes and the spending (and possible deficit) problems.
-
Step 12: Blame taxes and allocations of funds for spending on the U.S. House of Representatives on their Constitutional authority to pass/or not any spending (called appropriations)United States House of Representatives: It's their tax code -- Congress and their committees can handle that to lower or raise taxes.
-
Step 13: Decide whom to blame among: 100 senators
-
Step 14: 435 congressmen
-
Step 15: plus The President
-
Step 16: and 9 Supreme Court justices which equals the 545 human beings out of the 300 million that are directly
-
Step 17: legally
-
Step 18: morally
-
Step 19: and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
-
Step 20: Decide which of these 545 people support: More taxes on anyone and do nothing about the thousands of pages of tax codes.
-
Step 21: Analyze the United States Constitution regarding their duties.
-
Step 22: This nation of 300 million can replace 536 of the 545 people (the 9 Supreme Court Justices are appointed for life.).
-
Step 23: Remind your politicians of their oaths of office.
-
Step 24: Let them know that the people are watching and following their efforts and outcomes -- so that the days of easy
-
Step 25: unnoticed pork and earmarks are over.
-
Step 26: Do not accept their blaming forces called: "the economy
-
Step 27: " "inflation
-
Step 28: " "deflation
-
Step 29: " "global institutions
-
Step 30: " or "politics".
-
Step 31: Examine your representatives to see if they are voting for expenditures that overburden the economy with taxes required by their spending.
-
Step 32: Help the other voters in their jurisdictions to have the information to manage -- fire them and hire their own "employees" among those 545 employees.
-
Step 33: Consider starting now!
