He’s working the political game, another Team Andrew member comes to the front.

The Nob: Just what have you done to attempt to rectify the political problems in Illinois?

You criticize a lot but what have actually accomplished?

Question, off subject, but here is my rant:

We need some government, how much will be debated till the end of the earth.

As tax payers we must take away some of the power/decision making away from our elected officials, spending and setting tax rates.

These two issues were a problem that were never addressed properly when the Constitution was written, but should have been, but the partisan nonsense started already way back then with over spending and borrowing to buy votes.

Spending must always match actual revenue available at the time, ie what we are willing to give in the form of taxation.

Borrowing should only be allowed for World Wars, not police actions like we’ve had since 1945.

Even weather disasters should be budgeted for, they’re regular enough, and we should be able to budget for them to some degree.

Individual Income tax rates and Property tax rates should not be roller coasters of ever changing rates that just leads to insecurity for the tax payer not knowing what is coming next from the elected to buy votes.

The class warfare thing must be put in the grave; it’s just dividing the country more and could lead to more and more divisive actions in the future. We all need skin in the game, and it should be equal skin.

I would propose we force our elected by Petition, which is allowed in the constitution, to enact a Balanced Budget Amendment that has the income tax rate and/or property tax rate control tied to it.

The Congress, State, and Local gov agencies will only be allowed to adjust the income or property tax rates after a 2/3 approval vote within its legal boundary, ¾ vote would be better.

Our choice with a strong majority vote behind changes, not the Pacs controlling the partisan as the wind blows hacks.

I’d prefer a Flat income tax with no deductions at least till we start paying off the debt in a manner that has a time limit attached to it.

Gov agencies that use Property taxes should have no levy power or equalizer, whatever the home value, up or down, the rate we voted on determines what is paid in taxes.

Not enough as most elected seem to keep saying, then come to us with your yearly or two year budget recommendations and let us vote 2/3 for any change from the year before.

No more passing on our debt to future generations should be allowed. We borrow almost 40% for the Fed Gov now that must stop ASAP.

To not propel the economy into the dumpster any farther, we should demand freezing the spending at the 2014 rates or a small cost of living, every year till spending is lower than actual revenue.

We can budget a pay back of the added debt which will be pushing 20T by then.

Yawn.

I listening for other suggestions, got one?

Good Morning Ersel!

Some people just don’t like it when we mess with their game playing do they? LOL

Joe and John thank you both for running and making democracy work.

The majority of us have been way to complacent with the GAME!

Like I said, silence got us a 20T fed debt, less we forget all the other gov debt.

I haven’t done the math lately, but if we all paid for just to get rid the fed and state’s debt,pay it off, it would cost each man women and our children somewhere around 76k each.

Silence is golden for who?

Thank you John for stepping up, taking a stance and running for committeeman.

You are the backbone of the political process.
