How
to Stop the Recession
and
Turn Our Economy Into the Largest Economic
While
Stopping Cold the Home Loan Sub-Prime Mortgage Default Crises!
1. Rebuild America’s Infrastructure Instead of subsidizing
billionaire bankers
In place of giving
1. Permanently terminate
the withholding of income tax from all wages except the
foreigners.
I guarantee American spending
will resume, and that our debts will begin to be paid off, if the American
People are allowed to keep and enjoy the fruits of their own labors, as Thomas
Jefferson declared, rather than be forced to pay a tax before it is even
actually due by law. One that is not
actually due under the letter of the law until April 15th of the
next year. Why should the American
People be denied the use of their own money (wages), when no tax is actually
due to be paid under the letter of the law?
Particularly when the American People REALLY NEED the use of their own money because of their personal
economic circumstances. Who can force a
man to pay a tax or a debt before it is actually due under the letter of the
law to be paid
It’s MY MONEY and I NEED IT
If the true purpose of the income tax
is regulate the economy and to keep inflation under control – THEN FOR GOD’S SAKE SHOULD’NT THE
GOVERNMENT USE THAT POWER on BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUATION? When inflation needs to be controlled –
withhold the income tax. But when recession rules, and begins to become
a depression, and threatens to destroy our economy, and inflation is no longer
an immediate concern, couldn’t the government simply suspend the withholding of
income tax from citizens to provide a fresh supply of dollars to the American
people to stimulate the economy through spending, or at the very least allow those
persons who are really struggling to keep enough of their own money to pay
enough of their debts to stay afloat and keep their heads above water? The government could effect or allow these
changes – but they won’t – because this ain’t about you, IT’S ABOUT CONTROLLING YOU
2. Temporarily
suspend home mortgage loan interest rate re-sets.
The bankers should be
temporarily prohibited from further resetting any bank loans at higher interest
rates, and should be forced to roll-back rates on home loans going into default
because of a rate increase in the not too distant past, where it is not already
too late to help the homeowner. The
homeowners should be given 2 years to make some progress (or payoff) the
re-calculated (at the lower interest rate) debt on the last 3 – 6 months of the
default period, and after 18 months should be allowed to apply for federal
assistance in paying off that debt without losing the home. The federal assistance should of course be
based on the individual’s performance during the granted 18 month grace period.
3. Flat
Tax
The U.S. Supreme court ruled in 1916 in the Stanton v Baltic
Mining Co. case that the activities of corporations in
4. Privatize
Social Security withholding to allow personal investment in the stock &
bond markets.
This is the only thing, I repeat, the
only thing, in my opinion, that George Bush got right in the last 8 years. You
see, right now, THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL IN YOUR SOCIAL
SECURITY ACCOUNT. IT IS COMPLETELY EMPTY. IF you had been allowed to buy
stock with those "funds", you would have lost some portion of your
holdings in the recent collapse, but AT LEAST YOU WOULD HAVE HAD REAL ASSETS IN
YOUR RETIREMENT ACCOUNT instead of THE NOTHING that exists there now. There is no money, no assets, no real
holdings what-so-ever currently in your retirement “account”, which is really
nothing more than a worthless piece of fictional “accounting” printed by the
operator (the government), but not representative of any real holdings. JUST LIKE BERNIE MADOFF’s operation. Wouldn't
you like to have SOMETHING, instead of NOTHING, to retire on? Think about it. The
government should keep the half of the social security fund that the employers
paid in as their matching half of the tax, but the government should release to
the citizens some control over at least a portion of the half of the fund that
the citizens paid in, for investment in T-Bills and/or bond and mutual funds or
blue chip stocks.
Again, I guarantee that as these moneys flow into stock
market related investment vehicles and funds, the stock market decline will
halt and reverse itself, driving us back into another stock market driven
economic BOOM.
5. Return
the issuing power to the People where it rightfully belongs, retire the debt
laden federal reserve notes, and begin issuing debt free United States Dollars
in place of federal reserve notes for our national medium of exchange!
OR, IT’S
A BIG SHIT SANDWHICH THAT THE BANKERS MADE FOR YOU TO
So, is it time to act, or do
you still just want to sit there and pretend the folks on Capital Hill and at
the Federal Reserve Bank are going to fix this mess? TELL SOMEONE!
TURN THAT
TURBO-CHARGED AMERICAN ECONOMIC ENGINE BACK ON!
