In my opinion... Drop the big one!!...it will upset the global communications network...and travel will be reduced...then you will have more LOCAL exchanges going on...and not all the BS from some dumb-ass 1500 miles away telling us what to do all the time...we will have to make our own decicisions again ...like it used to be back before long distance communications,...

or not....



OH YEA!!..just dont drop it on me!!!

The answer

Cut the tax bill big time in one easy stroke - pay politicians minimum wage, put the Congress and Senate in dormitory housing, serve the School Lunch Program in the Senate Dining room, and make voting attendance mandatory. Have them all share staff, too. No more limos, we'll put the dorms close by so you can walk to work. Maybe then some people who care about our country instead of lining their pockets will run for office.


I like it. While we're at it, let's hire Arlee Ermy to kick their asses out of bed at 4:00 hours sharp, and have them standing tall at their posts by 4:30. Keep 'em sober too.

I've said for a long time, if you want to fix the minimum wage, socialist security, and health care, put the politicians on the same level as the lowest slob in the country. But they'd just mandate that everyone gets free medical at Walter Reed, 200K per year retirement, and, it you were still willing to work, a 200K salary per year plus all you can steal with both hands.

Don't reckon it will work.



Here's one idea that I've recently been enlightened from. Austrian economics.


Ludwig Von Misses?
