What Will You Bring To America’s Banquet Table?

What will you bring to the table of the America legacy this Thanksgiving? Past generations have brought freedom from tyranny, and Freedom of speech.
There were those like Thomas Jefferson that believed that education was one of the most precious legacies he could give to posterity.
Others have brought the extensions of our founders in the form of labor unions, to extend Democracy in the work place.
Still more believed that all men deserved a seat at the table no matter the color of their skin or religion that they practiced.
Then there came those that realized that women rightfully belonged there to, and not as the cook, but as equal partners in this experiment call America, for they were there from the very beginning, and without them there may not be an America.
Over the last several years there are those that have sought to take away from the banquet of the American table. They are not from outside but from within. They have not done it in the name of any noble cause but in the name of greed.
They have stolen the wealth of American to divide it up amongst but a few of their friends.
They have saw fit to use the Constitution as a doormat so as to have a place to wipe their feet. While using the Bill of Rights as a hand towel to wipe the blood from their hands of those they have sent to their deaths either in war or at home... for we as a nation have been bleed of so much of our resources that we can no longer take care of our children and Grandparents and our the rest of our fellow Americans in need here at home.
On Nov 6th 2006 there was an awakening and millions of Americans decided it was time for a change. But that was merely the first step in what will be a series of steps to take back from threes Robber Barron’s what they have stolen from the American Banquet table.
Sadly some things can never be brought back…
Hopefully though, we can learn from our mistakes and teach future generation to be vigilant of those among us who seek to twist the truth and pervert the facts so as to distract us, so that once again, they can steel from the American Banquet Table.
I bring the belief in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I am asking my Senators and congress people and even those from other states, that we need to investigate what these Robber Barron’s have done.
I will bring speech to the table, for now more then ever we need to keep talking to continue to expose the lies and the theft of our rights and freedoms.
For in talking to one another about what we believe politically and keeping it in the open in the light of day we learn and we grow and we understand that, differences make us all that much stronger.
I will continue to write and speak my mind, with the freedoms that our founders have given me, for I am their posterity.
So on this Thanksgiving Day I ask…
What Will You Bring To The American Banquet Table?

Can’t Spend History…So George W. Don’t Care
By:
William A. Peary, Founder and Editor Of Founding Freedoms.com

It’s
difficult not to say anything without seeming like I’m just pilling on to the
stunning rebuke of this administrations policy by “the rabble, as John
Adman’s like to call the middle class.
So
many pundits and George W. Bush himself talk about how history will view his
presidency.
Well
November 7th 2006 officially marked the death of any favorable
remembrance at all, of his legacy, in history.
While
a fair number of Americans were lead blindly to the edge of the abyss, with
corporate rule and Fascism waiting at the bottom of the pit... Waiting to engulf
America... When finally… at the very edge of the abyss, with rivulets of
freedom and individual rights trickling into the crevasse, from under the feet
of millions of Americans… America finally awoke from its long hypnotic trance.
A trance induced by lies and threats of fear, and unspeakable hideous acts of
evil, to be thrust upon America if we "make the wrong choice".
Finally
either the lies became too big, or the fear became all too real... and that fear
was finally seeing that you... you Mr. president are what we needed to be afraid
of. You and all your cronies, and not the terrorist, were taking away everything
that made us Americans.
You
and your Republican Party were spending America into a 9 trillion dollar Abyss,
and that does not even include the 400,000 Billion for the cost of the war so
far, not the cost to rebuild the military, or the future cost to care for the
You
and your Republican Party was condemning our sons and daughters and parents to
die in a war that made the likes of you and your elk rich from the profits of
war and oil.
You
and your Republican Party made it all too easy for nearly every major
corporation to shut its doors in America and send good paying American jobs over
seas.
You
and your Republican Party seen that none of your war profiteering friends would
have to pay the cost, so you shifted the burden to the average American worker,
while lying to their face and telling them you were giving them a tax cut,
while, knowing that the state and local government would now have to raise their
taxes many more times than the pitons you gave them in your so called tax cut.
Well
Mr. President on November 7th 2006 Americas collectively and abruptly
stopped and turned back from that abyss, you were leading them into. Americans
realizing that “stay the course” was not an option.
Americans Decided, They Were "The Deciders"... not you.
The
tragedy is that in Reality George W. Bush does not care what history will say,
for history is for the “rabble”.
What
George cares about is how a hand full of people will remember him. To them
George is a hero to be idolized.
Who
are the people you might ask? They are in the 1% that 719,910 households in
America with an average income of $326,000. They had 19.8% of the nations total
per tax income. And 129,000
households that is the elite 1/10th of 1% of the American population
that had an increase of 10% of there total income from 2004 to 2006. While
everyone else saw only a 1.6% increase. In round numbers, $326,000 income
increased by nearly $33,000. And the average working family making $40,000 got
$640 before inflation.
That
top 1%, are the ones that Gorge W. Bush and the Republican Party took out a
credit card in the name of America, which is you and I and began charging 9
trillion dollars. Gorge W. Bush and the Republican Party mortgaged America so
they could be the big man on campus with the unlimited bucks buying everything
that they wanted for themselves and their friends.
Not
for a Health care system for all Americans. Not to put in education. Not to
fully fund the VA. Not to insure that our troops have proper body armor or
armored vehicles, no not for one program that Americans wanted.
Gorge
W. Bush and the Republican Party went on a spending spree to benefit that 1% of
the population.
That’s
a debt that will have to be paid, by not only us, but our children and
grandchildren. They have made our children into indentured servants, to pay for
their good time.
Mr.
Bush does not care how history will speak of him, the only thing that matter to
him is that is what that 1% think.
That
1/10th of 1% that consider money the only history that maters and now
that they have even more than before, they even have your money as well as the
future earnings of your children’s money.
That
is all that counts to George W. Bush, for history is for the “Rabble” and
you can’t spend history.

There
has been a comparison going around in an attempt to describe the state of our
economy, and it goes something like this.
The government has this credit card that they are charging everything on,
which is for all practical purposed is a high interest loan. Now what do they,
the Republican Party do with that money? They convince the average working
person that it’s your money and that they are going to give it back to you in
the form of a tax cut. What you do not realize is that the money you gave them
is long since spent so they have to go out and borrow the money to pay the tax
cut with. In face we are paying over $130,000,000.00, that’s 100 Million
dollars in interest payments just this year alone, on the money that Reagan
borrowed some 25 years ago. Reagan borrowed the money so he could make the
economy look good, and for those of you that don’t remember that gave us the
great Republican Recession of the late 80’s and into the 90’s.
Well now the Republicans have borrowed even more money then Reagan, and
Bush Senior and all of the previous Presidents combined, with the bulk of the
money going to just 2% of the population, that’s why the stock market keeps
climbing because if you only invest your money and you don’t earn your money
by working like the rest of us then you only pay 15% in income tax, and I’m
willing to bet if your reading this your not in that 2%.
Oh sure some of you may seem like you may be paying less in Federal
income tax by a $100.00 or $200.00, but are you? You local taxes and state taxes
are going up by 10, 20, and 30 times that amount and why? What you may not
realize is that the Federal government normally allocates money back to the
states for schools, and road construction, and other public works. But the
Federal government is not doing that, they are cutting the amount of money going
back to the states, so your local and state government must raise taxes and cut
spending to survive, to pay for police and fire and emergency services.
You see the Republican Party say that we need a smaller government, so
what do they do with that borrowed money? They give; yes give not loan,
Billions, $10 Billion to be exact to Exxon, and other oil companies so that they
can “go find more oil”. Why not give to local companies to develop solar
power or wind power? They give it to 100 million airs and billionaires with the
mantra, “Don’t worry it’ll trickle down”… Has any of it trickled down
to you yet?
But now this is the part that says that we as a nation under Republican
leadership are in very serious trouble. I’m sure that some of you or even most
of you have at one time or another paid one credit card with another to avoid
missing a payment. You did that because you didn’t have the money, which means
that times were really bad. Right?
Well
consider this ever since Reagan under the advise of Alan Greenspan we have been
doing just that. Remember when George said that the Social Security trust fund
is nothing but a bunch of IOU’s? Well that’s because he has been doing just
what you did when times are really tough, he is paying off one debt (Credit
Card) by paying it with money from the Social Security Trust Fund (another
Credit Card).
Oh and when you hear on the news that the stock market is reaching new
highs, that only means that the money is not about to trickle down to you any
time soon, it only signifies that the rich are just getting richer, while you…
well you know the rest, your living it.
One more thing as you well know that when you borrow money that some day
some way some how the debt must be paid. Well look around you do you have any
children, nephews, nieces, grand children? They’re the next in line to pay
that debt even if you die tomorrow, by allowing the Republican Party to continue
doing what they are doing of Borrow and Spend are those people around you. That
Bill amounts to $35,000 for every man woman and child in this country. Or
consider it this another way…every working person now in America now owes
$200,000.00. It clearly is a debt that is going to be passed down to our
Children and Grand Children.

We Will Fight Them Over There... A Lesson In History
By: William A. Peary, Founder and Editor Of Founding Freedoms.com
Published 10-17-06
There is a saying that goes something like this, "those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it".
This administration continues to try to instill fear in everyone with the tired old bumper sticker slogan, "We will fight them over there so we won't have to fight them over here". This is not the first time, nor I fear it will be the last time a line like this will be used, to not only instill fear but to also imply that the purveyor of the statement has the divine power to protect you.
Well thought out history the purveyors of this thinking never did... nor will they now.
There was a time in our recent past when the French were presented with just that same problem. It was just after World War l and France felt the need to protect themselves from Germany. The decision was to build a line of heavy fortification at their eastern border with Germany and Belgium. The line consisted of concrete fortifications, tank obstacles, machine gun posts and other defenses. There were interconnecting bunkers the entire length of the line. It cost the French government over 3 Billion Franks.
You could say that France wanted to Fight them over there (at the entrenched fortifications) rather than Fight them over here (in the streets of Paris).
As any student of history can tell you the very name of the project became synonymous with the word " *Folly".
You see when the German army decided to attack France they looked at the "Maginot Line" and decided to just go around it.
On 911 not one single person got on a plane anywhere in Iraq, in fact they didn't even learn how to fly a plane in Iraq, they came here through Pakistan and learned how to fly here, in Florida.
So just stop and think for one minute, if someone wanted to attack America do you think that they are going to say to them selves...
" I need to get a ticket to Baghdad Airport so I can go to America"?
I think not.
The "We need to fight them over there"... in Iraq... History will show was just another *Folly.
With a Extremely high price tag In Human Life, and money.
*Folly: Folly is also a synonym for foolishness; see stupidity

Ever since Bush Became
President we keep hearing on the news about Record this and record that, but
ever record ever talked about is for something bad, for the average American,
but great for the corporations and their CEO’s.
Somehow it’s not the
Republicans fault that it worked out that way. Even though Americans are working
harder than ever before, that they are earning less and less money.
The
median hourly wage for American workers has declined 2 percent since 2003, after
factoring in inflation. The drop has been especially notable, economists say,
because productivity — the amount that an average worker produces in an hour
and the basic wellspring of a nation’s living standards — has risen steadily
over the same period.
Some workers have accepted outright pay cuts, others
have dropped out of the labor force, and debt has kept rising relative to
income.
As a result, wages and
salaries now make up the lowest share of the nation’s gross domestic product
since the government began recording the data in 1947, while corporate profits
have climbed to their highest share since the 1960’s.
What
seems clear from the recent data is that the United States has fallen into a new
period of wage stagnation — a sequel to another such period lasting from the
mid-1970’s until the mid-1990’s
With the economy beginning
to slow, the current expansion has a chance to become the first sustained period
of economic growth since World War II that fails to offer a prolonged
increase in real wages for most workers.
Yet somehow even though the
Republican Party under the leadership of George W. bush, and as the data now
shows beginning with Ronald Reagan… the party of the Robber barons, the
Republican Party that gave us the great depression of 1929 has once again pushed
our country back into the hands of the extremely wealthy and allowed
corporations to run our government.
Did any of you who voted
for a Republican do it thinking that you had too much money and that you thought
it was time that you give what you had to the super wealthy?
Our Constitution start out
with “We The People” for a reason.
The Republican party keeps
saying that we need to end social security, that we don’t need National health
care, we don’t need to protect our water, and our air from corporations that
want to pollute it. Workers don’t need to have unions to protect themselves.
If our government is We The
People, then why is it the Republican Party is removing every safe guard for
American people and protecting corporations. Why are they passing laws that only
benefit the corporations?
Why is it that they can
give Billions to Oil corporations but we can’t afford national health care?
Why is it we can spend $350
Billion dollars in Iraq killing people but we can’t afford 7 Million for our
returning Vets, for brain trauma injuries?
The Republican Party keeps
saying that they don’t believe that the people themselves can govern
themselves, that they will just take all the money for themselves…
Well is it any better that
the super rich that are running our country now are taking all the wealth and
leaving behind a massive debt?
If it’s a choice between
them, or us why shouldn’t “We The People” who worked to build America,
have the wealth of America instead of them…The Corporate Robber Barons?

Smoke and Mirrors
By: William A. Peary, Founder and Editor Of Founding Freedoms.com
Published 06-25-06
One Of My Past Predictions Collide With The Present... Back in December 1, 2005 I wrote a piece in consider this about troop withdrawals, in which I pointed out that,
"In
March2003 we had 100,000 then by November 2004 it was 138,000 as we added troops
for the elections, and other countries pulled out their troops. As of November
2005 the number went up to 155,000 as we added more troops for the vote on the
construction. Now if all goes well the Defense Department says that we may
reduce the number of troops to 100,000. WAIT A MINUTE… Isn’t that the number
we started with before we temporarily added troops for the various elections…?
If that’s the case BushCo, IS NOT withdrawing any troops at all, IT’S ALL
NOTHING BUT A SHELL GAME.
The Troops are NOT COMING HOME, it is all just an Illusion
contrived to win the mid term elections in 2006.
If you use the South Korea model of around 4,700 men per installation, we would need a minimum of 75,000 troops, but we are not in combat in South Korea. So the final number should be somewhere between 75,000 and 155,000 which brings us back to the original number of troops around 100,000.
Meaning NO CHANGE. Just more smoke and mirrors" Excerpts from Troop withdrawal? Things To Consider Before You Start Celebrating
Well in today's NY Times comes an article entitled "U.S. General in Iraq Outlines Troop Cuts" (Alt Link) Now in that story they talk about that there are now 14 American combat brigades stationed in Iraq. Funny but Gen. George W. Casey Jr does not mention that on June 21 2006 (Excerpt from DOD web site)
"DoD officials announced yesterday that 21,000 more troops, including four Army combat brigades, had been alerted for service in Iraq."
Now a combat brigades, generally has about 3,500 troops, and they combat brigades do not make up the bulk of the 127,000 American troops in Iraq, do the math 14 combat brigades X 3500 = 49,000.
Now according to the story the number of combat brigades will be reduced to 5 or 6, once again do the math, 14 combat brigades - (lets use the 6 combat brigades left) = 8 combat brigades withdrawn, now 8 combat brigades X 35,000 =28,000.
Now taking into account the 127,000 troops already there and the additional 21,000 troops that may or may not be for used for rotation of surge re-enforcements that will put the number of troops there to between 100,000 to 120,000.
Funny according to the math the number of troops does not seem to be going down, in the numbers that they would like you to believe. This looks to me like the DOD "Box Step" which is nothing more than a variation of talking in circles, meaning...no change. No Change except to give the Republican party PR just in time for the 2006 election campaign that is, which is substantiated in the NY Times Article (alt link) that went onto say,
" Now, after criticizing Democratic lawmakers for trying to legislate a timeline for withdrawing troops, skeptics say, the Bush administration seems to have its own private schedule, albeit one that can be adjusted as events unfold.
If executed, the plan could have considerable political significance. The first reductions would take place before this falls Congressional elections, while even bigger cuts might come before the 2008 presidential election.
Why is it that this Administration and the Republican party under Karl Rove continue to use the wealth and lives of Americans in such a caviler manner just to win elections. We need to hold them all accountable for the crimes of willfully lying to Americans and the murdering of Americans and foreign citizens for "Political Capital".

Through
The Looking Glass Into Bizarro
World
By: William A. Peary, Founder and Editor Of Founding Freedoms.com
Published 06-16-06
The
continual shredding of our Constitution continues on, as more and more Americans
honestly believe Bizarro world is
real, as they wonder just how and when they stepped through the looking glass.
When
Judge Roberts and Alito were first interviewed for a position on the Supreme
Court he was asked questions about past Cases and both made statements that they
would not seek to change “stare decisis*1”
“(settled law)”.
We
now know that both lied.
Two
weeks ago Roberts re-visited a settled case and overturned that decision now
that Alito was appointed to the court. The case was one that seemed to be a no
brainier. The case involved stated that If your job involved the investigation
of wrong doing in the government and you find wrongdoing and you report it, you
and your job were protected. What they changed is that now if you report it, or
blow the whistle you and your job are NOT protected and you can now be
fired…FIRED for doing your job.
Next let me start with a copy from a document that should be familiar to everyone.
“The
right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,
against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no
Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation,
and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things
to be seized”. The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution.
Again
revisiting settled case law or a case falling under stare
decisis, which both Roberts and Alito stated that they would not revisit or
overturn. Today they now said that law enforcement instead of knocking on your
door and announcing that they were executing a warrant, they can now just break
down your door.
What happened to “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers,
and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
violated”…
Now
let’s consider this, what if a warrant is issued for someone based on false
information and the police go to a false address, and the person’s home that
they go to is some who owns a gun. Now all of a sudden their door is bashed in
and people dressed in black clothing with masks and gloves, come rushing in
yelling and pointing guns all around…a typical swat team entrance. If that
person is taken by surprise and startled what do you think are the odds that
they reach for their gun and start shooting to protect themselves? What do you
think are the odds that someone will be dead or severely injured?
The
reasoning behind the decision is so that evidence cannot be destroyed, in drug
raids. Just how big a drug dealer could they be if they could destroy, without
any trace at all, every scrap of evidence in the time that it takes to knock on
a door and say, “This is the Police and we have a warrant to come in”.
Then
today we find that because of the famous nipple unveiling at the Super Bowl,
public airwaves, and people using referring to sexual acts or body parts the
fine was raised from $35,000 to $350,000 per incident, while the fines for
people killed in mining accidents due to violations were too burdensome and were
lowered from $25,000 to $21,000.
So
let me get this straight If your job is to find and report wrong doing and you
do your job and report it you can be fired, and if someone is breaking into your
home unannounced and you defend your home you can be killed, and if you kill one
or more people due to negligence in a coal mine you can be fined $21,000, but if
you call them a bunch of Fucken murders, you can be fined $350,000 for each and
every time you say it!
Welcome
to the Conservative Republican World.
To
echo the words of someone else…
It’s
Time For Them To Go !!!
*1 stare decisis
: (stah-ree duh-sigh-sis) n. Latin for "to stand by a
decision," the doctrine that a trial court is bound by appellate court
decisions (precedents) on a legal question which is raised in the lower court.
Reliance on such precedents is required of trial courts until such time as an
appellate court changes the rule, for the trial court cannot ignore the
precedent (even when the trial judge believes it is "bad law").

What The Republicans Have Done To You And You're Children...Again.
By: William A. Peary, Founder and Editor Of Founding Freedoms.com
Published 05-22-06
In
Short just how much of a tax return you can expect back… If you earn OVER
$1,000,000. you can expect to get back about $42,000.
Which is about 2% of the population. Now for the rest of us who don’t
earn $1,000,000. you can expect to get back $20. no I didn’t forget any zeros,
I said $20 bucks. Oh and the money you and Millionaires aee getting back is not
really a tax cut, you see to get that $70 billion dollars George Is borrowing
that money. The Loan is for 35 years with interest payments of about $36
Billion, which means that your Children will have to pay for it. Nice of George
to bring back child labor, and indentured sever etude, and why… because the
corporation have bought George boy and the republicans with campaign donations.
What is the Lie that George and the Republicans are telling you to convince you
that this is a good thing? Well it’s the old “Trickle down theory” even
though they did not mention it specifically because every one now knows…again
that it doesn’t work. Instead they say that the money that they give to the
millionaires will make them go out and create jobs.
The
question is if they do whom will the job be for? An illegal alien? More likely
they will do just as they have been doing for the last 3 years, and taking the
money and investing it over seas, and NOT IN AMERICA.!
Now why am I telling you about this now when the vote
took place on May 11th? Well it is to remind you that even though you
may hear a lot of talk on the Main Stream news about how the Republicans are
starting to go against the White House and George, it is all an act. Remember
the told adage Actions speak louder than words? Well look at the final vote that
the bill was passed by:
51 out of 55 Republicans voted YES
40 out of 44 Democrats Voted NO
1 out of 1 Independents Voted NO
As I said Actions speak louder than words.
One other item you may ask well why didn’t the
Democrats Filibuster the dam thing after all the Republicans age always accusing
them of filibustering everything else! Well the reason is simple, The
Republicans who drafted the tax package kept the net cuts over a five-year
period below $70 billion. Under Senate budget rules, staying below the $70
billion threshold means the tax-cut package cannot be filibustered and can be
passed by a simple majority… and Who is in the Majority?
You guessed it the Republicans!
Consider this. If you take all the tax cuts over the last 5 years that was given to people that didn't need more of what they couldn't spend already.. We could have had a National Health care system... and not borrow the money either. Which is something that over 75% of We The People want. While the tax cut package as it is distributed is something that 2% of the people want.
So think about it the next time you have to vote, even though you may not like what George W. Bush has done remember he didn’t do it alone…The rest of the Republican Senators and congressmen were right behind him agreeing to everything.

The Great Conservative Lie
By: William A. Peary, Founder and Editor Of Founding Freedoms.com
Published 03-21-06
Ever since Ronald Reagan
we were told that Government could not do anything properly, and we needed to
turn over everything to corporations, because the corporations could do the job
better. Well for years we have done just that. So much so that this Republican
Administration under George W. Bush all the senior officials and then some ALL
were CEO’s of corporations, before accepting cabinet positions from George.
Now
think about how FEMA handled Katrina…
Think
about how George and Don are handling the war in Iraq…
Think
about how much we are now paying to heat our homes and Fill our cars with gas…
Think
about the millions of jobs that are now outsourced to China and India…
Think
about how George is borrowing billions to give the money to the top 1 % of the
wealthiest people in America, which by the way they are taking the money and
investing it in Europe and Asia, not here.
George
and the Republican Party keep telling us how good the economy is, but they never
tell you that in the last 5 years they have borrowed 3 trillion dollars to prop
up the American economy. If you gave me a Credit Card with a 3 trillion dollar
line of credit even I could make our Economy look good. The problem is this…
The Bill Needs To Be Paid Back. That Bill amounts to $35,000 for every man woman
and child in this country. Or consider it this another way…every working
person now in America now owes $200,000.00. It clearly is a debt that is going
to be passed down to our Children and Grand Children.
What
does this all mean?
Well
taking into account inflation and what real dollars are worth compared to
dollars in the 50’s and 60’s…in spite of the amount of income in each
American Household, we now have in most cases 2 people working…and it only
equals 75% of the income that it took one person to earn then. This is the big
lie started by Reagan. We Are Not Better Off Today Then We Were 30 years ago
before Reagan, and the Republican party when corporate money started to take
over our American Political system with lobbies the miss-guided belief that
corporations are people.
Is
this the world that we want for our future generations?
Do
you still believe that corporations can do a better job at running America then
We The People?

Corporations Are Stealing Our Government By Privatization, and Getting Rich Too Boot

Ever wonder why Medical Marijuana is not legal? Sure we all know the bull about how it is a gateway drug, but you know as well as I that for almost everyone it was the bear we stole from mom and dad. The reason why Medical Marijuana, or let's call it by the name we all use pot will never be legal is because private corporations can turn a big profit at two ends of the spectrum on it.
It is because most of our prisons are now privatized and that means the the more people we lock up the more profit that they make, in fact we now jail nearly 25% of our population, that's than any other country in the world.
First by locking up anyone that uses pot and second by selling you some expensive drug that they make to do a poor job at best compared to pot. For them it's a win win, and for you it's a pay pay loose loose. Well now it is becoming a pay pay more.
At some time or another if you even got a parking ticket you know that the ticket has a fine of say $50.00, but some where along the way the courts starting attaching a "Court Fee" to the fine of another $25.00. You know, I don't care what they want to call it, my mind can't think in the devious twisted way that Republican politicians think.
My money does not come in denotations of "dollars" and "fees", because in the end I have to shell out $75.00 bucks so to me in my way of thinking the fine was $75.00 not $50.00.
Well now the Corporate greed is getting bigger. To start with let me say this When someone commits a serious crime like mugging of robbing of rapping some one I believe that they owe a debt to society that needs to be paid.
With that said I read this story in the NY Times where several states are now attaching "Fees" to everything that in some case amount to thousands of dollars. They are charging a released person with the cost of the meals for a jury, ankle bracelets with global tracking, and "Filling Fees" for court appointed lawyers when the can't aboard a lawyer, and even fees for probation.
All of these processes are privatized and they now are charging "Fees" to someone, who has no money to begin with. In effect we are making them a financial criminal after the are released, because if you haven't guessed it by now there is interest on the "Fees" as well and as anyone who owns a credit card and carriers a balance knows that if you pay the minimum your bill only gets bigger each month.
The question is if maybe if we stopped locking people up who want to smoke pot or have sex with someone for money them maybe our jails and courts won't be so over crowded. Maybe we wouldn't be sending people into a system that teaches tem how to commit even worse crimes. Maybe we wouldn't need to have so many cops, creating a police state that is always looking into our homes and our cars because we just might have some pot in there and worse yet we might be getting high, and having sex.
Take the seat belt law. have you ever head of anyone flying through their car window in an accident and killing a bus load of kid? I think not but because we did not stand up and fight back we now have no choice in the matter it is just another freedom taken away by a corporation that felt that if you wore a seat belt maybe then they would pay less in medical bills to you when you got hurt in an accident. Has your insurance gone down over the years? No of course not, instead the CEO's decided that since the were paying out less money in injuries claims then they could afford to bet higher salaries and in the wake they saddled everyone else with the cost of the police and courts to hand out tickets and "Fees". It gave them the loop hole to say, "if you were in a accident and not wearing a seat belt then they don't have to pay you anything at all".
What we need to remember is that when we privatized our government we in effete are selling off our rights and freedoms.

Today in the NY Times there was yet another story of Bush and the Republican Party giving away 1*another $7 Billion Dollars to oil companies. Based on the administration figures, the government will give up more than $7 billion in royalty payments on oil pumped from public lands, between now and 2011, and no expected lowering of gas prices at the pump. This is our oil it is on public land, and this at a time when the oil company is making the largest profits for any business in the history of the planet. The reason given is to encourage them to explore for more oil in the gulf of Mexico.
Well think about this for a minute. They are a business that likes to make money.
Do you think that they are just going to stop drilling for oil and selling oil when they are making billions of dollars a month in profits if Bush does not give them our money...YES OUR MONEY!
Bush and the Republican party just took our money away from us and our children by cutting student loans, because he said we couldn't aboard it.
Bush And the Republican Party just cut aid to the veterans, aid to seniors, aid to the unemployed, because we couldn't aboard it according to them.
Why is it that the Bush and the Republican Party seems to think that the only thing that we can afford to give OUR MONEY TO, is perpetual war, with complete disregard for those who fight it.
Why is it that Bush and the Republican Party, think that OUR MONEY should be given to corporations, and not us, we the people.
We Can't afford health care for all Americans, but we can afford Bombs. We can only afford to kill strangers and not heal our family's.
We can afford to to teach the art of destruction, but we can't teach our children to build.
We can't afford to help the "least among us" with aid to public food banks, but we can afford to give millions to churches, so that only if you believe in their brand of religion, you can get help.
Just why is it that we CANNOT use public money to benefit the public instead of corporations.
To use the Republican langue. It's OUR MONEY!
So I say let's stop spending it on corporations that can take care of themselves and spend our money on ourselves, We The People.
Instead of a $7 Billon dollars to the oil companies give the money to American who want to start a business for themselves, making alternative energy products. Let's fund science to developed an entirely new ideas. After all it's our money.
If we the people want to spend it on a health care program for ourselves, then why not? "It's our money"
We must remember, we elect public officials to do what We The People want, not to Rule Over us.
