Those who earn government paychecks should not have the right to vote

Got it!
*No representation with negative taxation.*

As self expanding public sector crowds out tax generating private sector USA reaches PTB,*Peak Tax Base*. Is there life after PTB? The industry of tax explorers fan out across the world looking for more opportunities for preemptive invasions into countries with tax base until finally we have reached GPTB, *Global Peak Tax Base*

At the point of GPTB the banking system near collapses, goes on life support of economic stimulants, and announcements of economic stimulants that can never be implemented without a tax base or someone to buy public debt, someone who now no longer breaths. Massive stench of death floats in the air as gaming derivative gurus who have no training in how to brew their own coffee now slowly waste into oblivion.

And the glaciers grow fat.

But as far as being called un-American, all I have to say is welcome to the club. It sucks. It hurts your feelings, it’s been hurled long before Pelosi.

Implant all politicians with an explosive charge in their chest that would kill when it goes off.

Rig that charge to a detonator that receives signals from a communications tower, and set the detonator to go off when the politician’s approval ratings dip below 50%, as measured by real time polls conducted via TV, radio, and communications networks. Every deed a politicians does would be reported and an instant poll taken.

Elections would have multiple candidates for each position, selected as option #1, #2, etc., as one gets blown off the map, the next one is pushed into the position.

Politicians either please the public or are history.

Why would anyone run for office? They don’t, they are volunteered by their neighbors. LOL, oh sweet it would be.

Plus, I don’t think lobbies are the problem. They are often the only real link to your elected official. Mine won’t even hold a town hall meeting (well, in truth he decided not to show because the seniors showed up with pitchforks to the one he scheduled). As long as they can make their case but don’t have any power to buy, I don’t think lobbies are all that terrible.

Nice blog, btw.

Did you check the Congressional Telecommunication Act?

I’m all for reducing their incentives to tax and spend, but how about if we ding their salaries for spending and subject any airplane orders, pay raises and other special treatment to a public referendum instead of letting them decide?

Not only Pelosi and Hoyer, but also my Sen. Blanche Lincoln called anyone that doesn’t agree and protests against the Great One’s Health Care Plan as “Un-American.”

Currently, lawmakers have a tremendous incentive to buy our votes with our dollars, either appropriated through tax or borrowing. However, they are given a pass for the results because there is no clear signal that they’ve acted in their own best interests.

Under my system, if they want to pander and spend, they can do it at a loss. Feel the pain on the front lines.

If they instead vote for a massive tax increase, there is a direct correlation to their own largess and it would be easier to vote them out.

In other words, let them go to DC on bread and water, and make them earn sirloin through delivering value to constituents. That’s an incentive system that works for all.

Is this idea as fleshed out as it could be? No. But it’s clear the incentive/punishment system we have now is completely out of whack and has been horribly gamed.

Here’s another idea I’ve tried floating – the Congressional Telecommunication Act.

Let their pay be based on a percentage of the surplus.

Just your usual.

The original point was about accusations of “un-American”. That’s usually the accusation you hear from Republicans. That’s all I was laughing about.

Also – there was a picture of a guy at a Tancredo rally with Michelle Malkin, holding a sign with a swastika. However, his hand is covering the a large part of the sign in the shot. The sign itself accuses Obama of being a Nazi. So it LOOKS like he’s just carrying a plain old swastika, but in reality he’s not identifying himself as a Nazi – he’s accusing Obama of being one. I think that was the source of the Pelosi comment – a picture did exist, but it was misleading because half the sign was covered.

And, in case you need me to repeat this one more time – that guy was an idiot for calling Obama a Nazi and Pelosi was an idiot for calling the protesters Nazis.

And, of course, we’re not supposed to get upset when the president declares that he doesn’t want to hear any opposition.

And of course, citizens expressing their anger at their public servants is an “angry mob”, according to the DNC’s TV adds. Although, if they’re organized by the community organizer in chief or ACORN, then they’re freedom fighters.

Okay…you’re free to go on a long and convoluted diatribe about how that’s “like totally NOT what they’re saying” by saying exactly that.
