| When the folks on Wall Street screw up the world economy and put our country at risk of total collapse, Congress can get together and bail them out with our money, in record time and put it all in a 3.5 page Bill. A Revenue Neutral Bill? Not really, that sort of stuff ain't necessary when it comes to Wall Street. When Congress is asked to give the Executive Branch permission to invade a sovereign country, they do it fast with the House Joint Resolution 114, just 4.5 pages long. Was this House Joint Resolution 114 revenue neutral? Nope! That ain't necessary when it comes to the Military Industrial Complex.

When it comes to Health Care Reform for everyday Americans, Congress drags it's feet and debates it endlessly. Requires it to be Revenue Neutral and drafts a 1990 page Bill. How thoughtful!
So why is it that Congress can act fast on some issues and let others drag on and on? It's all about the money! Let me make this clear, It's not about Jesus, values or representation of the American people, it's all about money and power!
War is profitable for Corporate America and Wall Street and they are major campaign contributors to politicians and that's why these folks can get their legislation rammed through Congress with little or no strings attached. But just as legislation can be rammed through Congress with money, legislation can also be slowed and watered down to suit corporate interest like the Health Care industry with money and that's what we're seeing now.
It's all about money. It's that simple. Declaration of Independence
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. |
