Give every legal American citizen 1 million dollars. That includes children. I would exclude anyone making 1 million dollars or more.
What does this accomplish? Redistribution of wealth? In a way, yes. We have paid taxes for years and our parents have paid taxes for years and look at how it has been spent. In my opinion it would be more like a refund than redistributing wealth.
The benefits. We would be able to pay off bills, homes, cars, etc., or invest. That would help the banks with a flood of money. Banks improved.
Mortgages would be either paid off or reduced drastically. People who have lost their homes would be able to buy a new home. Housing market improved.
With the influx of money, more people would be spending and jobs would need to be filled in order to fill the products and needs of those who received the money, Job problem solved.
People may even want to start their own business. Capitalism restored.
Why children? Money could be put up for their college or whatever they need when they reach the age of adulthood. College tuition paid.
Now with all this, there would be no need for food stamps and welfare. This would cause these programs to either be eliminated or "tweaked" for those who really need it. This would also allow Social Security to be fixed. No one who received this payout would be eligible for any government help for a minimum of 10 years.
Now this would be a one time deal. All welfare, food stamps, and yes even Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid would stop for a period of at least 10 years. Why would you need any of these programs if you had 1 million dollars in your hands? So, you would have to be responsible or deal with the consequences of no government help.
This would be tax free. How do we pay for it? All the politicians would contribute.

More control
I should not be surprised by this, but, it amazes me how much the battle for gun control is just outrageous. Instead of punishing the government officials who were involved in the "Fast and Furious", our politicians just won't give up on trying to get guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens. In this article: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Sunday the shooting of former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords should have sparked a national dialogue about gun laws.
I am so tired of our politicians blaming everyone but themselves for the mess our country is in. Yes, we are ALL to blame for this mess. Our previous politicians have tried to brainwash us into thinking that whatever they do, they do for our "children", our "safety", and for our "best interest". We sat back and let it all happen. We have been so busy with ourselves, our children, and even sports to pay attention to what is going on around us as well as what has happened to us in the past.
Our Constitution, our Rights, our freedoms, and our beliefs are being attacked on a daily basis. For centuries we have fought for our freedoms and our rights. Now all that is being attacked and our freedoms have slowly been taken away from us as well as our rights. Why have we allowed this to happen? Have we forgotten all those men and women who fought and died for us to have what we have today, be for nothing?
I hear on a daily basis "There's nothing we can do about it". That is just wrong. Even though we may not be able to, or want to go into battle, but, will allow others to do the work for us, doesn't mean that we can't do anything about it. We should educate ourselves and get involved with the political process and vote out those that have trampled over our Constitution, our rights, and our freedoms. It is up to us, and only us, to fix this country. We can no longer "trust" our government to take care of us. That is how we got here to begin with. Why should we keep asking the politicians to fix things when they only make matters worse?

Presidential Candidates
I took some time off to change out my computers and during that time I debated on whether or not to continue to blog. There is just so much going on with this country and this "President" as well as with all the candidates that are running against Obama.
I have watched sooo many debates and listened carefully to what each candidate had to say. I have listened to all the accusations and all the candidates pointing fingers at one another. I have watched the news media swoon over Mitt Romney.
Here is my take on the GOP candidates. Let's take Ron Paul. I like Ron Paul. He is a real Constitutionalist. He represents the meaning and the ideas of the Constitution and the purpose that it was designed for.
Rick Santorum, I'm not real sure about. He sounds good and he seems to have a good record and appears to want to do the right thing for the country. I'm still doing research on him.
Newt Gringrich. Now, he understands what is happening with this country better than anyone else. He understands the dangers of George Soros and the teachings of Saul Alinsky. Both of these are playing a huge role in what is happening with the destruction of our country.
Mitt Romney. Not only is he responsible for the Romney care in Massachusetts, but, he also has some connection to the teachings of Saul Alinsky. Mitt Romney's father liked Saul Alinsky and his ideas. George Soros has also came out and said that there is little difference between Obama and Romney. He has also flipped flopped more than any other candidate. He also speaks of being an "Washington Outsider" and believes that is what we need to turn this country around. Well, wasn't Obama a "Washington Outsider" when he ran for President. How is that working out for you?
This is one of the most important decisions we have to make in our lifetime. Not only this election but, the elections to follow if we want to keep our country strong and safe, not only for ourselves, but, for our children and their children. Instead of all the negative accusations that are being thrown out there on each of the candidates, not only by the candidates themselves, but, the obvious push by the media as to who we should choose for President, we should do our own research and pick the candidate that best suites the needs of our country in order to begin the restoration of our beloved country and our individual rights.
