The US Political DEADLOCK!!!
(What
US politicians are doing to this country)
Is it possible that a country is run by crooks in the guise
of Republicans and Democrats? Those who care more about their
personal agendas rather than the best interest of the people and their country.
Using the Debt Ceiling crisis, politicians are using national interest issues
to promote and benefit their party power
struggle.
Republicans say the government is spending way over the taxes that they
receive. Republicans are way out to protect the billionaires and multimillion
corporations from having to pay their fair share of the taxes. In the
past decade the richer seem to make even larger pay cheques, however they
prefer to pay even lesser taxes. In reality they get away with it. It is clear
who the Republicans support in a guise of national interest and a fake pretext
that not taxing the billionaires will lead to
creating more jobs and help the economy. Nothing like this happened in the past
decade while they enjoyed paying the lowest taxes.
The Democrats seem to be wanting to seek these tax cuts from the billionaires
and their companies,. They propose to hike taxes for
those who make more than $250K. They are being accused of spending tax funds on
pet projects and wide overspending to support its many government agendas. Now
they are being forced to cut most basic needs of society like education, health
and infrastructure needs.
Two things need to happen to find a two sided solution. Taxes for people who
make more then $250K, especially those who make over
a million dollars, should be increased so that they put back on the table
enough of what they manage to make for themselves. This should make the
Democrats happy.
From the finance that is received from these tax increases, the spending and
budgeting process needs to be made completely transparent so that there is
accountability for government spending and consequence for making the wrong
choices. This should make the Republicans happy.
There is a great lesson to learn from the New York based Jewish doctor who
invented the polio vaccine and could have sold his patented invention to the
big pharmaceutical companies to earn fame and great wealth. Polio researcher
Dr. Jonas Salk, who could have enriched himself by claiming patent rights to
his vaccine, instead gave it away for FREE., thus
saving millions from paralysis and death. He was already making enough money and saving lives was his reward.
People are no longer are made of such great virtues while greed and
wastefulness seems to have taken over. Let us watch how this stalemate is
resolved by August 2nd 2011 as both parties play this cat and mouse game and
push their limits while holding the fate of the country at ransom.
