What if God sent us the Perfect Politician ???
WORDS TO THE WISE
" What if God sent us the Perfect Politician and gave us a choice
To turn from our ways, and gave us a voice?
What would he look like, this hero-to-be?
Would he be hansome with perfect hair, perfect teeth?
Would he be tall, broad and strong?
Always be right and never be wrong?
Would he put down his foes, shame them outright,
Bring up their past, in their failure delight?
Would he know all the right answers to America's ills,
Would he solve all our problems with the stroke of his quill?
Or would he be humble, unassuming and meek,
When accused and cajoled, turn the other cheek?
Would it be policy or people he serves,
Stand up for Truth, Principle his nerve?
Would he be consistent, year after year,
Or change his opinion to suit the right ear?
Would he cater to the rich, the nobles and elite,
Or to the peasant, the man on the street?
God's perfect man would bring Justice to all,
The rich, the poor, the great and the small.
Unyeilding in principle, true to the end,
offering peace, his hand as a friend.
"Do no harm" his motto would be,
but, "Defend my home? I guarantee".
But what if we missed him in his humble attire,
Overlooked him for a more eloquent sire?
That wouldn't be right! Miss him, surely not!
Heroes are always easy to spot.

RON PAUL'S RESTORE AMERICA PLAN
GOP presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul will unveil his economic plan Monday afternoon, calling for a lower corporate tax rate, cutting spending by $1 trillion during his first year in office and eliminating five cabinet-level agencies, including the Education Department, according to excerpts released to Washington Wire.
Mr. Paul’s “Restore America” plan calls for a drastically reduced federal government to help spur American business — a familiar theme for the Texas Republican and many of the GOP White House hopefuls. But unlike some of his Republican rivals who have released economic plans, the libertarian congressman mostly avoids the weeds of tax and trade policy, according to excerpts.
But Mr. Paul does get specific when he calls for a 10% reduction in the federal work force, while pledging to limit his presidential salary to $39,336, which his campaign says is “approximately equal to the median personal income of the American worker.” The current pay rate for commander in chief is $400,000 a year.
The Paul plan would also lower the corporate tax rate to 15% from 35%, though it is silent on personal income tax rates, which Mr. Paul would like to abolish. The congressman would end taxes on personal savings and extend “all Bush tax cuts.”
He would also allow U.S. firms to repatriate capital without additional taxes. Some lawmakers have recently proposed such legislation as a way to spur job growth. Its critics argue that a tax holiday for companies with money abroad has not historically led to domestic investment.
But the plan, at its heart, is libertarian. While promising to cut $1 trillion in spending during his first year, Mr. Paul would eliminate the Departments of Education, Commerce, Energy, Interior and Housing and Urban Development. When former Massachusetts Gov. MItt Romney unveiled his economic plan last month, he said he would submit legislation to reduce nonsecurity, discretionary spending by $20 billion.
Mr. Paul would also push for the repeal of the new health-care law, last year’s Wall Street regulations law and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the 2002 corporate governance law passed in response to a number of corporate scandals, including Enron.
Other proposal are more vague, and the campaign has not yet released estimates of economic growth under the plan.
Mr. Paul, who wrote the book “End the Fed,” calls for an audit of the Federal Reserve and “competing currency legislation to strengthen the dollar and stabilize inflation.” The excerpts did not provide more details on how such legislation would work.
When it comes to Social Security, Medicare and other entitlement programs, Mr. Paul wants a system that “honors our promise to our seniors and veterans, while allowing young workers to opt out.” He also wants to run Medicaid, the state-federal health care program for the poor, and “other welfare programs” through block grants to states.
Ron Paul wants to unshackle America from the burden of government, regulations, and taxes. He is really the only candidate that proposes actually shrinking the size of the Federal government. All the other candidates have limited proposals to slightly reduce Federal government spending. Obviously, Mitt [ FLIP FLOP I WILL SAY / DO ANYTHING TO GET ELECTED ] Romney’s proposal to slash a token $20 billion in nondiscretionary Federal spending is only symbolic and would do nothing to get the country out of it's mess.
Herman { your an idiot } Cain’s much talked about 9-9-9 better translated from the German as NO - NO - NO proposal is another stab at complete stupidty and is a NO NO NO Go.
USA currently spends $ 3.5 Billion a day more than it collects in tax revenue. Quickly building up a mountain of debt that threatens the whole financial system with collapse. If these fools aka politicians & citzens do nothing they will become completly bankrupt. This happening even as you read this sentence.

SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION THE UPRISINGS SPREAD ACROSS THE USA
There ought to be an OCCUPY ALL OF AMERICA movement instead of just an Occupy Wall Street movement.Take back this country from the power elite who ran it into the ground !! But at least Occupy Wall Street it’s something.
A START !!!
Where is the TEA PARTY ???
They should be down there marching arm in arm with Occupy Wall Street!!!!
As usual the cowardly and villainous right wing are clueless about the need to confront the evils of big business monoply's cronie Capitalism. So it’s up the stupid lazy Left to do all the heavy lifting.Again.
TIME FOR THE SHEEP & SLAVES TO RISE UP !!!
The power elite on Wall Street have economically devastated the US and are enslaving the world with trillions of dollars in debt. The damage that Big Government & Big Business has caused can not even be conceived of, so whether those protesters realize it or not they are really attacking not Big Capitalism but Big Government itself. How many will continue to stay and fight after they realize that ???
