The majority of our tax dollars seem to be funding corrupt, wasteful, dangerous, and unnecessary projects. We seem to be funding our own enslavement. We need a minimalist government. Presently...we have just the opposite. The Federal Reserve needs to go. This will probably happen after the Fed is properly and retroactively audited. The people have a right to know where each and every tax dollar has gone...since 1913. Where are the Fed's tax returns? But this may be a Pandora's Box of black projects and corrupt finance. It may reveal some very upsetting information...which could shake the country to it's foundation. Still...the truth needs to be revealed. All of it. Call it disclosure.
Political contributions and lobbying are expressions of free speech...but corruption is rampant. How do we get rid of bribery and blackmail? How about taxpayer funded weekly televised political advertisements and debates throughout the year...and not just during election years? Wouldn't this level the playing field...and put the crooks and charlatans in the hot seat? The political contributions and lobbying by We The People should dwarf the feeble efforts of the crooks and banksters. Sorry guys.
