This web-site is my first real attempt to communicate my ideas about the future of our government. I deeply believe we have passed the point of being able to reform the US Government from within. There is too much corruption and too many special interests for that now. I want to also state that this organisation has absolutely no ties with the Tea Party organisation. I am a registered independent. I am acting completely independently owing no one money or favors (except the bank which I owe student loan money too). I want to lay out my ideas for a better United States of America as simply as possible. My interests, my special interests are to help give power back to the individuals who comprise this nation and develop a more equitable, sane and democratic government. I seek nothing else.
I believe the only way to get the country back on track so to speak is through peacefull revolution brought about by a large scale collective demonstration of our will. We are after all first and foremost a democratic nation. If it is the will of the majority of citizens to re-write the constitution or simply amend it then that will should be enforced. The Revolutionary War, as we all know was fought primarily so that the people of this nation could make their own laws, set there own taxes and essentially be autonomous. They were reacting to unfair laws and taxes imposed on them from the monarchy of England. Well it seems today that we merely traded foreign tyranny for domestic.
I would say the average smoker feels much the way our predecessors felt over British tea taxes. All of a sudden the government, without consulting the people, decided to raise the taxes on tobacco products to the point they quadrupled the price in the span of a few years. Now I am not making any kind of moral judgement about the use of tobacco and neither should our government. I am passing moral judgement on a government that would quadruple the price of a product simply to bring in more revenue. And I would venture to guess if you compared the taxes between tea and tobacco and adjusted those numbers for inflation the current tax on tobacco would be greater than the colonial tax on tea. Again I have no connection in any way to the modern Tea Party people. I would say the only things we agree on are our reasons for revolting against the government. This is no longer a social contract for the people by the people.
I believe the problem is that we have become a country ran by the wealthy and powerful for the benefit of the wealthy and powerful. Please keep checking back for updates. What I am trying to do here is present what I believe to be the problem with our government and some possible alternatives. More than ever the middle and lower classes need to unify. The great silent majority needs to exercise it's power. First I hope you will read my ideas and if you agree follow me into action. I am asking nothing in return but your time. Thank you.
