  • (1888PressRelease) November 04, 2011 - It's not Occupy the Streets, its Paving the Road to Fairness

    As one person out of the 99% who is sick and tired of the current economic and political situation the country is in, I am of the opinion that the following will have a much quicker, bigger and productive impact:

    1. Impeach Congress: If any of us doesn't do a job bestowed upon him/her efficiently and in a professional manner he/she will not last two days in that job, he/she will be fired. Our congress, both houses, hasn't done its job for years and we keep re-electing the same people hoping things will change. They won't. So we have to fire members of both houses and bar them for a term or two from participating in elections, and hire some new faces based on their resumes not based on their connections. Why wait another thirteen months to re-elect the same people and wait another several months for them to start blaming each other again for not doing what we hired them to do in the first place.

    2. Close your account when you find out that the customer service of the company you are trying to reach has its customer service outsourced to another country, and take your account to a competitor that is not outsourcing its customer service. If you can't find a competitor that is not outsourcing its customer service then we are in a more serious trouble than we think we are in. Companies outsourcing to other countries haven't reduced their prices to benefit you; in fact, in many instances they have raised their prices more than the inflation rate. Outsourcing has raised their, the Companies, profits by cutting jobs here and hiring cheap labor in those foreign countries.

    3. Don't buy anything that is not MADE in AMERICA. Companies manufacturing outside the U.S. have not cut their prices and they have not passed the benefits to you, they have raised your cost and raised their own profit margins by cutting jobs here and hiring cheap labor in those foreign countries.

    4. There can be no economic recovery without fixing the Real Estate market. Check out this "No Cost Stimulus Plan to Revive the Real Estate Market", details of which are located on the site below, and see if it benefits you, if it does, make sure your representative hears from you.

    5. Illegal immigration. Most every country in the world, even countries with minimal resources, has, can and is able to protect its borders and control the immigration flow. We, the United States, go out of our way, thousands of miles across and put our kids' lives in danger, spending billions of dollars every year, to protect some foreign country's borders, or build their nations, ignoring our country's needs. We should bring the troops (or at least most of them) home and have them join hands with the National Guard and protect the borders, all four, and free the country from drug dealers, illegal immigration and rebuild the country, Our Country. Also, offer all illegal, undocumented immigrants currently living in the country a path to citizenship by putting them on probation, with the understanding that anyone who has or does commit any crime it is cause for automatic deportation. Anyone who is working an honest day's work and is providing for his/her family with good behavior may apply for a permanent visa. Let's be realistic; we cannot deport 10-20 million people, it destroys the U.S. economy.

    6. Health insurance: Everyone should be entitled to be treated when struck by an illness, or suffers from an injury. But no one should pay for another's unwillingness to participate in providing for his or her own healthcare needs, unless that person is incapable of producing income whether due to age or a permanent disability. Anyone who prefers to avoid the purchase of health insurance coverage and finds himself/herself in need of health care services must pay in cash or sign a document authorizing the government to garnish a portion of his/her wages or income until the bill for the healthcare services provided to him/her are paid in full including interest at a predetermined rate. If the person using the services is incapable of producing income for legitimate reasons or that person is a permanently disabled person (with proof), his/her bill to be paid by charity foundations first, and any shortage in funds to cover all expenses should be covered by the government. It's the human thing to do especially for a rich country like ours.

    7. Infrastructure: We have the world's best engineers both in the army (The Army Core of Engineers) and the private sector, yet we have the most deteriorated infrastructure in the developed world. We should be able to rebuild our country and provide jobs both to the military coming back home and the private sector. We need to build bridges, highways, public transportation, airports, railroads, etc. and we have to stop the enormous mismanagement of funds. Example of mismanagement: Gasoline taxes and the DMV fees collected that are supposed to pay for road repairs and maintenance are spent more for administration than the actual road repairs. We have to ask our government to manage the funds better.

    8. Not occupy Wall Street, have Wall Street behave better. I don't think any one of us wants to occupy anything, we just want fairness. We can accomplish a lot if we attack them where it hurts the most, and where it hurts the most for anyone is taking the job, the home, the business and the clout they have away from them. If we can do that, we probably will have our jobs back. Remember if we don't have a job, eventually no matter where they outsource to, manufacture in, how many homes they build, we won't be affording any of it. It is not only us who will lose, all the countries that are providing the outsourcing or manufacturing will lose also because they won't have anyone to sell to. We simply won't be able to afford it. Even China cannot grow without the American buying what it produces. Ultimately it will prove to be a lose-lose situation for all.
