You'll have to repeal the 16th too, and take away the pension system for politicians. It was never meant to be a life long career and the tax money is where they get their power. If they have less to spend, they have less to bribe with. Of course a lot of this is pipe dreams and the only way it would happen is a true revolution. Americans do not have the stomach nor the attention spans for such things, nor the will. So what you are left with is tit for tat minor changes and posturing by members of the one party system to make it look like they are doing something. It'll be more of the same until real pressure is brought to bear.The Right Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02000916651068780486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-73858239869283809812009-09-16T17:16:45.966-04:002009-09-16T17:16:45.966-04:00The jury is out for me.

I believe while Beck is patriotic, that number 3 is an obvious motivator, that crying corruption long enough and loud enough could, after awhile, cause folks to mistake him for Henny Penny and start settling back into status quo-ville while forgetting about all those silly Tea Parties and personal responsibilities.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00995981511802074871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-83718314394662417922009-09-16T17:16:20.904-04:002009-09-16T17:16:20.904-04:00I've never seen the Glen Beck show, Smitty.

We must go back to the original constitutional plan: state legislatures should elect senators.<br /><br />There is no statutory fix. The states have no representation.

That is why he is repeating the mantra of ordinary-nonpartisan-people-get-along-against-corrupt-politicians. <br /><br />I think he knows "corruption" is not the problem. Liberal agenda is. Multiculturism is. But he has to elaboratly mask the problem in as populist way as possible in order to get the message out. This is exactly the opposite of what the intellectual beltway conservatives have been doing, and IT WORKS. Damn it, it works.Yissacharnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-3160227789428639992009-09-16T13:38:39.380-04:002009-09-16T13:38:39.380-04:00This is the key point --

Until the Congress and the people get off the co-dependent relationship born 100 years ago, and restore the States to significant political meaning, all these calls for ending corruption are just so much noise. The moral hazard of the Imperial Fed is the real issue."<br /><br />The best way to fix the corruption problem in DC is to reduce the power (money) that's concentrated in DC. <br /><br />I vote you start and lead a federalism education campaign.Victorhttp://www.writeonnevada.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-16556206037017439332009-09-16T09:08:23.331-04:002009-09-16T09:08:23.331-04:00Nothing against the Bride of Rove..

The Congress has been utterly corrupt since the git-go. The actual purpose of the Congress is to give tax dollars to people/corporations who bribe them. You won't eliminate Congressional corruption unless you eliminate Congress itself.<br /><br />Of course, Louis IV and his crowd weren't exactly Christian saints, either. Corruption is the lubricant of any government.sykes.1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10954672321945289871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-40943398959575621882009-09-16T00:55:03.510-04:002009-09-16T00:55:03.510-04:00Gracias for the link.
