ongress should call itself into session now and pass a bill that would exempt every American motorist from any criminal prosecution or civil action arising from his or her vehicle striking, injuring, or killing one or more braindead, safety-pinheaded crybullying "protesters" rioters who intentionally obstruct or otherwise deny his or her right of travel upon any American roadway. Whether they were struck, injured, or killed accidentally or not would be immaterial. Moreover, all those "protesters" rioters (or their estates) would be fined an amount equal to the costs of repairing or replacing the motorist's vehicle plus all of the motorist and his passengers's medical and funeral expenses; and all such costs and expenses would be paid by the United States out of highway trust-fund monies. Finally, any such obstruction or denial that results in the death of the vehicle's operator of any of its occupants would be a federal capital offense.
Of course, "President" Puddy Tat will, as he always does, stand up for whoever's terrorizing law-abiding Americans, and thus will veto that bill. Voters will remember in 2018 and beyond not only his deplorable betrayal, but also that committed by all his liberofascist accomplices in Congress who voted against the bill's passage.
Fortunately for all peaceable, law-abiding Americans, Congress may pass the same bill when it convenes next year, in time for President Trump to sign it into law right after he's sworn into office. Then America's roadways will be safe again for you and me as well as for our children.
What follows is my 100-day action plan to Make America Great Again. It is a contract between myself and the American voter — and begins with restoring honesty, accountability and change to Washington
Therefore, on the first day of my term of office, my administration will immediately pursue the following six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:
First, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress;
Second, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health);
Third, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;
Fourth, a five-year ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service;
Fifth, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government;
Sixth, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.
On the same day, I will begin taking the following seven actions to protect American workers:
First, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205;
Second, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership;
Third, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator;
Fourth, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately;
Fifth, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars' worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal;
Sixth, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward;
Seventh, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure.
Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:
First, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama;
Second, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States;
Third, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities;
Fourth, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take them back;
Fifth, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur — all vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.
Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:
1. Middle Class Tax Relief and Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with two children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from seven to three, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.
2. End the Offshoring Act. Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
3. American Energy and Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over ten years. It is revenue neutral.
4. School Choice and Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to gives parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make two- and four-year college more affordable.
5. Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
6. Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-site childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.
7. End Illegal Immigration Act. Fully funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a two-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a five-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
8. Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force on Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.
9. Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values.
10. Clean Up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.
On November 8th, Americans will be voting for this 100-day plan to restore prosperity to our economy, security to our communities, and honesty to our government.
This is my pledge to you.
And if we follow these steps, we will once more have a government of, by and for the people.
k. These liberøfascists aren't saying outright they want to execute you for not voting — yet. That will only happen when all the other punishments they're so quick and eager to impose on you fail.
After all, punishing you for not behaving, speaking, or even thinking in a way that most enables them and their cronies to gain and retain absolute power and control over everything and everybody is what they're all about anyhow.
Instead of a Democrook-only passed and signed ØbamaVote-Or-Else! Act, why don't ISILiberals™ offer a Positive Alternative® and ditch their mindless opposition to every person's fundamental right to choose an elective abstention?
A financial carrot works far better than their normal tyrannical shtick stick.
How about an Exercised Suffrage Tax Credit, for example? If you vote in all scheduled elections during a calendar year, you get the full amount of the ESTC when you file your return for that year. If you vote in only a fraction of them, you get that same fraction of the credit. Of course, if there weren't any elections, you aren't entitled to it. Couple this with a First-Time Voter Credit, and you'll really get folks to the polls.
Another Positive Alternative® is a tax-free payment issued to every voter electronically or by mail immediately following a certified election. Call it a reverse poll tax. The more people participating in the election, the higher the amount of payment. Imagine the sight of voters forcibly dragging into the voting booth their reluctant relatives and friends and even total strangers off the streets. Now that would warm what passes for a heart of any authoritarian, mandate-loving Despoticrat(birm).
Finally, as an added incentive, when you vote a certain number of consecutive times you would qualify for the Consistent Voter Bonus. You get this bonus after voting in all scheduled elections during five straight calender years — double if 10 years, triple if 15 years, etc. That will entice older voters to keep returning to the polls.
But what about younger, more easily-manipulable nonvoters? How can we attract all of them to the polls? Glad you asked, Mr/s/etc. Liberaleftistyrant. Since you've brainwashed those you want targeted into "thinking" feeling all monetary gain is totally evil, let them "earn" a nontaxable Youth Voter Prize when they vote in the first scheduled election following their eighteenth birthdays. They each could choose which prize he/she/other gets: guaranteed college admission with free credits towards his/her/whatever graduation; free down payment and zero-percent financing on whichever electric vehicle pleases him/her/huh?; free lifetime pass to the Øfascist pResidential Liebrary & ISIL Training Camp; ten-year supply of free, preprinted protest signs; etc. Like moths to a flame, they'll swarm to anyplace where yes they can grab shiny free stuff.
See? Given all these Positive Alternatives®, Presidespot Øbola's "brain" fart so-called idea of punishing folks for not voting is the worst to come along since his Øfascist"Care."
urrendering to liberogressives the total redistribution of wealth they desire, without gaining any concessions from them in return, would be worse than selling our free-market souls to the devil. At least the tragic Dr. Faustus had something tangible, albeit temporary, to show for his diurnalish pact with Mephistopheles. No, our bargain entails only a sip of redistributional hell for the eternal bliss of no more income taxes.
The fair tax's prebate feature already gives us a drop of that hell by refunding in advance the amount of national retail sales tax families will be paying respectively each month on their purchases of basic needs: The larger the family, the larger the prebate. However, public assistance programs still would be required for impoverished families.
But by taking the full sip, our bargain eliminates those separate entitlements along with all their attendant agencies, not only making government less bloated but freeing lower-income families from their servile dependence on that political class most committed to doling out other people's money. Instead of tax prebates, the fair tax would incorporate payments equivalent to all purchases of essential goods and services by America's families plus the national retail sales tax on them. Each household, regardless its income, receives this necessities allowance based on how many valid Social Security cardholders reside there.
This is our side of the bargain. In exchange, the servants of redistribution give us a land totally purged of all other federal taxes, whether on incomes, gifts, capital gains, or estates, as well as Social Security withholdings.
Finally, by forfeiting a tiny bit more of our souls, we may increase the allowance to include purchase of basic health care plans, thus ridding our land of every Øfascist"Care" malignancy too. Moreover, since every American's basic purchases are compensated, there would be no need to continue separately feeding the Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid bureaucracies. We'll eliminate those middlemonsters also, and pass the savings on to you, the American people.
There are, nevertheless, several market-force realities that must be taken into account before striking such a bargain. When every citizen or legal resident starts each month with the same minimum amount of money to spend, there's a substantial risk of having too many dollars chasing too few goods and services. The trick is to make the fair tax not just revenue neutral but spending neutral as well. Entitlement programs already transfer an ungodly portion of that amount, either directly or indirectly, to grocery stores, doctors, day care centers, etc., etc. But if we're no longer paying the swarms of federal officers currently sent hither to harass our people and eat out their substance — aka bureaucrats — then the exorbitant salaries, perks, and bonuses they receive won't be coming from their big fat Civil Service paychecks but from their finding and working real jobs in the private sector. That is, the woefully few who can actually become qualified and valuable enough to be paid the same amount there. This would automatically result in a drastic pay cut for almost every member of that swarm, which would help offset the amount of money entering the economy via the necessities allowance. In addition, nearly all of Washington, D.C. would be rendered utterly a barren wasteland after the luscious and luxurious overhead formerly enjoyed by those swarmers falls victim to the bulldozer; although several nice, empty parks could be planted in its place. The total amount of money the federal government may justifiably take from us then would be far less than what it steals, borrows, cheats, and extorts from us now, while the total amount of money hemorrhaging out of it would be correspondingly reduced. It means both a smaller and a much more efficient and effectual federal government. Something every American should welcome.
If the above is able to sufficiently forestall any inflationary effects otherwise stemming from the necessities allowance, ours is a bargain from which we wouldn't have to wait 24 years before seeing very real benefits.
hen the Georgia House passes the application, the Senate secretary will transmit copies of it to the presiding officers of each of the legislative houses in the several states, requesting their cooperation.
[T]he General Assembly of the State of Georgia hereby applies to Congress, under the provisions of Article V of the Constitution of the United States, for the calling of a convention of the states limited to proposing amendments to the United States Constitution that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress.
Since the states control everything that happens in their convention, and three-fourths of them must ratify whatever amendments it proposes before they become adopted, there's no danger of a so-called runaway convention that ends up fundamentally transforming our Constitution into Øbamarx's ejaculate-crustified copy of the The Communist Manifesto.
For now, this appears the best alternative to some short-lived Civil War II in which beta/blue states wind up conquered and occupied by alpha/red ones.
n Maricopa County, Arizona, choosing to be a worthless criminal scumbag thug is most unwise.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Maricopa County jails have made national headlines for years.
First there was the construction of Tent City in 1993, then there was the introduction of the infamous pink underwear he makes the inmates wear — and now he's at it again.
The Sheriff has announced he's turning his jails — vegetarian! No more meat will be served in Arpaio's jails.
When they finally arrest and convict The Øfascists Moochhell and Baracrook for gross misuse of taxpayer funds and aggravated acts of corruption and treason, both need to serve at least part of their respective multi-life sentences in one of Sheriff Arpaio's jails.
In Moochhell's case, forcing her to eat the kinds of "food" she wants government to literally ram down everyone else's throat would be the height of poetic justice. In Baracrook's, however, he'd probably enjoy wearing the pink underwear... a little too much.
Federal Revenue ÷ Federal Spending × Regular Salary = Actual Salary.
For example, Senate Demøfascist misLeader Hairy Reidtard and his sidekook House Demøfascist misLeader Ninny Peloseri's completely unearned annual salaries would each be:
That's a $67,600 pay cut. Their staff and other expenses would be cut by the same proportion as well. Every other member of Congress, too, would see a 35 percent cut in his/her/etc. salary and expenses; e.g., from a $174,000 salary to $113,200.
As a positive incentive, a pay raise would occur whenever pigs fly revenue surpasses spending. If, for example, federal revenue is 1.2 times more than federal spending, every member of Congress would receive a very much earned 20 percent pay raise.
Last fiscal year's revenue and spending amounts would determine this fiscal year's salaries. So Congress has to enact a better balance between the two before its members see any increase in their salaries.
A new law to vary Congressional pay in the above manner may be enacted now. However, under the Twenty-seventh Amendment, it would not take effect until after the 2014 mid-term elections.
irst, there would be no change in the retirement program for anyone born in or before 1955. For everyone else, the following changes apply:
Full retirement age (FRA) is redefined as the earliest age at which an unreduced partial retirement benefit is payable. The basic benefit, or "primary insurance amount" (PIA), is fully payable at age 70.
For persons born in or after 1956 but not after 1960, retirement benefits would be 75% of full benefits at age 65, 80% at age 66, 85% at age 67, 90% at age 68, 95% at age 69, and 100% at age 70 or older. Persons within this birth-year range would also have the option, before they retire, of investing a maximum of 5% of their payroll-tax or self-employment-tax contributions in any securities and other instruments which maintain a sufficiently high financial rating, as determined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Each seller of any such instrument would charge a regulated administrative fee, which includes a premium payment to an Investment Deposit Insurance Corporation to cover any loss of the actual total principal invested greater than that premium.
However, if a person opts to invest any portion of his contributions during a calendar year, the amount of his credited earnings for that year would be proportionately less than his actual earnings, and may reduce the amount of his full basic benefit.
The entire proceeds of each person's investments (total principal plus any gains) would be available to him when he attains age 65, or to his estate if he dies earlier.
This same availability rule also applies to all persons born after 1960.
For persons born in or after 1961 but not after 1965, retirement benefits would be 50% of full benefits at age 65, 60% at age 66, 70% at age 67, 80% at age 68, 90% at age 69, and 100% at age 70 or older. They would also have the option, before they retire, of investing a maximum of 10% of their contributions in the above described instruments.
For persons born in or after 1966 but not after 1970, the benefits would be 25% at age 65, 40% at age 66, 55% at age 67, 70% at age 68, 85% at age 69, and 100% at age 70 or older. They would also have the option of investing a maximum of 15% of their contributions.
In the following birth-year range, full retirement age is 66.
For persons born in or after 1971 but not after 1975, benefits would be 20% at age 66, 40% at age 67, 60% at age 68, 80% at age 69, and 100% at age 70 or older. They would also have the option of investing a maximum of 20% of their contributions.
In the following two ranges, FRA is 67.
For persons born in or after 1976 but not after 1980, benefits would be 25% at age 67, 50% at age 68, 75% at age 69, and 100% at age 70 or older. They would also have the option of investing a maximum of 25% of their contributions.
For persons born in or after 1981 but not after 1985, benefits would be 10% at age 67, 40% at age 68, 70% at age 69, and 100% at age 70 or older. They would also have the option of investing a maximum of 30% of their contributions.
The table below shows respective benefits and maximum investment percentages for all birth-year ranges.

Second, early retirement age would remain 62 for every person regardless his birth year. Full retirement benefits are still reduced 5/9 of 1 percent a month for the first 36 months immediately preceding full retirement age, and 5/12 of 1 percent a month for any additional months. Investment proceeds, however, do not become available before age 65.
Third, for insured workers who postpone their retirement beyond FRA, benefits are increased for each month of nonpayment beyond that FRA up to age 75. This increase, or "delayed retirement credit," is potentially available for any or all months following attainment of FRA. The total credit possible per year for delayed retirement credits is 8 percent.
Fourth, there is no increase in the payroll tax or self-employment tax.
Finally, fundamentally transforming the Social Security program so it becomes increasingly less a single payer of retirement benefits and more a government option would put it on much sounder financial footing, especially when those born in the later ranges reach retirement age.
7. Require all representatives and senators to prove* they have read a bill before they may vote in favor of it.
8. Require that every bill be given a full hearing in open committee, with testimony from both proponents and opponents, before the house in which it originated may vote on it.
9. Ban all closed door meetings on Capitol Hill and in the House and Senate office buildings, excepting only national-security ones that require secrecy.
10. Ban all bailouts, including previous ones, that fail to muster a two-thirds vote in each house of Congress.
11. Return all automobile manufacturers and financial institutions to the private sector where they belong.
12. Cut all representatives and senators's pay and their allowed expenditures by at least half.
* One simple test would be a series of random, multiple choices under the same question: "Which text (a, b, c, or 'all of the above' d) is in the bill?" There should be 10 questions for every 100 pages of the bill, or one for every 10 if the bill is less than 100 pages. If a representative or senator answers 90 percent of all questions correctly, that would satisfactorily prove he or she has read the bill. To prevent cheating, no two tests would contain the same series of choices, and all tests must be randomly distributed to and taken by members on the floor in full view of live C-SPAN cameras.

After the R2 Bill becomes law, "(a) There is imposed on the taxable income of any person who votes for the presidential nominee of a political party that, before ratification of the thirteenth Article of Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, had ever nominated a candidate for President who at the time of such nomination lawfully owned one or more slaves, a reparations tax determined in accordance with the following table:
If taxable income is:
The reparations tax is:
Not over $40,000
10% of taxable income.
Over $40,000 but not over $90,000
$4,000, plus 20% of the excess over $40,000
Over $90,000 but not over $150,000
$14,000, plus 30% of the excess over $90,000
Over $150,000 but not over $260,000
$32,000, plus 40% of the excess over $150,000
Over $260,000
$76,000, plus 50% of the excess over $260,000
"(b) In addition to any tax imposed by subsection (a), there is imposed on the taxable income of any person who becomes an officer, delegate, member, or registered voter of such political party, a reparations tax for every instance of his or her becoming an officer, delegate, member, or registered voter of that party, determined in accordance with the following table:
If taxable income is:
The reparations tax is:
Not over $40,000
10% of taxable income.
Over $40,000 but not over $90,000
$4,000, plus 30% of the excess over $40,000
Over $90,000 but not over $150,000
$19,000, plus 50% of the excess over $90,000
Over $150,000 but not over $260,000
$49,000, plus 70% of the excess over $150,000
Over $260,000
$126,000, plus 90% of the excess over $260,000
"(c) For each taxable year, the total amount of tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) on the taxable income of any person, shall not exceed 90 percent of his or her taxable income."
The above covers who all "pay their fair share" to fund the reparations credits. Now for the credits themselves:
After the R2 Bill becomes law, "(a)(1) There shall be allowed as a credit against the tax imposed by [the Internal Revenue Code] for the taxable year with respect to each qualifying ancestor of the taxpayer an amount equal to the per ancestor amount. (2) For purposes of paragraph (1), the per ancestor amount shall be determined as follows:
In the case of any taxable year beginning in –
The per ancestor amount is –
2010, 2011, 2012, or 2013
$1,200
2014, 2015, 2016, or 2017
$1,400
2018
$1,600
2019 or thereafter
$2,000
"(b)(1) The amount of the credit allowable under subsection (a) shall be reduced (but not below zero) by $50 for each $1,000 (or fraction thereof) by which the taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income exceeds the threshold amount. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term 'modified adjusted gross income' means adjusted gross income increased by any amount excluded from gross income under section 911, 931, or 933 [of the Internal Revenue Code]. (2) For purposes of paragraph (1), the term 'threshold amount' means (A) $250,000 in the case of three or more qualifying ancestors, (B) $100,000 in the case of two qualifying ancestors, and (C) $75,000 in the case of one qualifying ancestor.
"(c) For purposes of this section, the term 'qualifying ancestor' means any individual if (1) the taxpayer is a direct descendant of such individual and (2) such individual was, during any period of 12 consecutive months after July 1776, a slave lawfully owned for at least 330 full days in such period by one or more citizens or residents of the United States.
"(d)(1) For any taxable year, if the total amount of revenue raised by the reparations tax does not exceed the total amount of reparations credits allowed, every credit for the next taxable year shall be reduced in the proportion which the difference between those total amounts bears to the total amount of such credits. (2) If any reduction determined under paragraph (1) is not a multiple of $50, such reduction shall be rounded to the next lowest multiple of $50."
Insofar as the wealth of knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing liberal Democrook Party office holders(birm) is going to be spread around much more than a bit among many of their own voters, none of those reparations tax payers will have anything to complain about (unless, of course, they're racists).
For one thing, that party's evil-rich office holders are paying almost all of the tax. This, in turn, gives low- to moderate-income recipients of multiple-ancestor reparations credits an irresitable incentive to keep voting them back into office, especially since such credits are normally more than the amount of tax each of those recipients would pay for doing so.
Again, if any evil-rich Democorrupt office holder like Acting Co-President Nanny "Statist" Peloose-screwi tries to switch parties, she'll be not only guilty of hurting the poor but deservedly branded a racist.
It's a win-win reparations plan to Promote A Common Good And A Higher Interest Shared By All™.
ubsidizing every citizen's personal payments for private health insurance and private school tuition, which he freely chooses to make for himself and his family, would be significantly less of a burden on us taxpayers than giving government any power to forcibly herd all citizens into public health care and public education impersonally run by uncaring, careless, mindless bureaucrats(birm).
This system of distributing to citizens means-adjusted vouchers that may be spent only on these specific services would replace all federal and state health- and education-related expenditures. The behemoths known as Medicare, Medicaid, and Public Government Schools — after decades and decades of wrecking havoc on our lives and minds, eating up our budgets, and leaving behind street after scorched street flowing in rivers and rivers of blood-red ink — would each finally be slain.
To find out what your family's voucher(s) will be, please use this handy calculator:
For a family of four with two children attending private school, the total amount of their two education vouchers decreases with their income as shown in the graph below.
Health care vouchers are available to every family member. The maximum amount of each voucher depends on the citizen's age and any long-term health issues.
Now the only thing we need to Raise Awareness™ enough for people to demand this new system over every same old failed, freedom-killing big government øne(birm) is the bumper sticker.
Packages and school supplies raised through these organizations are transported to Iraq, free of charge, by FedEx, then distributed to Iraqi children by our brave freedom fighters.
