CLEAN HOUSE
Federal employees cannot accept promises or anything with an actual monetary value
Pass this law will be best thing to clean out Congress and White House.
It will close K Street Bribery.
No campaign money.
Fed funds campaigns over 6 months (3 primary-3 general) with free equal tv time and a debate a week =12 =adequate to evaluate candidates.

True Progressive tax system. Burn tax book. Start anew. Must justify need for exemptions in public hearings. Keep Koch type out of influencing our officials.

This is good stuff. Both parties have "tax-exempt groups that can accept unlimited donations and doesn't have to publicly disclose its donors" (as Gary put here)...so, this is within bounds politically, of course. Oh...did Gary forget to mention that? Well, it's true and I'm pretty most of our savvy TAP readers already know this.

So, good for you, McCrory and your supporters. You're doing just fine. Thanks for the effort.

BIG INEQUALITY
10% own 73% net wealth—80% own 15%
10% own 83% Financial Wealth—80% own 7%
10% get 46% individual income-50% get 13%
Is this Mexico? No! America

DEBT CREDIT
Bush took office in 2001 with a 5800B Debt.
Eight years later it was 11,900B-- (9-30-01)
It is now over 16,.000B.
Bush created 6000B in 8 years.
The add on of 4100B to 16,000 was 80% from Bush two war costs, tax cuts and Part D Medicare costs.
3300B.
Bush added 9300B to our debt.
Had Gore won in 2000 he would have continued surplus budgets
and our debt would be less than 5000B. How wonderful.
How Bush wrecked our economy? Yes!
