Aware of the confusion surrounding the idea that every corporation is a person in the eyes of the law, I do believe it is easier if one says that every citizen is a corporation. And even though I can’t legally explain why the courts ruled that way except to say it is written down somewhere. I do know that every American has the right to earn money separate from the wages paid by Private Commerce and Industry. Besides, since fools and jerks come from all walks of life as well as who is to say what proper etiquette s govern Ladies and Gentlemen. I do recognize that my elders and peers find it easier to debate between the “Have and Have Not’s” or the “Rich and the Poor” than to deal with the Civil Fact that it is the duty of “We the Corporation” to help each other develop economically viable and financially independent customers.

Now why “We” instead of “I” when Individual Rights are paramount is simple considering that no person in their right mind would allow the creation of a corporation with the sole intent of eliminating all other corporations on earth. So when Republican Presidential Hopeful Mr. Cain claimed that he got his and if you didn’t get yours than it is not his fault simply does not hold water. Unquestionable he has made millions following societal policies, but at what expense to his fellow corporations? Because given that his employees, contactors, and community have not become economically viable and financially independent during the same time frame, one could make the case that Mr. Cain gathered his wealth at the expense of other Americans. Thus, given his current political position toward the common goal of Americas’ Corporation doesn’t one need to question his electability in 2012?

And though I try and not take sides in Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders debate. Given the fact the Democrats normally stand up for the Union Worker while the Republicans praise the Right to Work States I wonder if the same could be said if Americas’ Workforce decided not to take the jobs at the benefits and wages being offered? For why I support the Youth of Today movement to take over Wall Street peacefully, I do worry that corporations like Mr. Cain will attempt to sidestep the law by using their influence to rewrite the law to exclude the average American the Right to deny work. Since all one has to do is look at the laws today which stop enterprising young Americans that they cannot operate sidewalk lemonade stands.

Yes I am sure most of my elders and peers sadly will never recognize the true power of a corporation as will most of the Youth today; however, divided on the idea of how Americas’ Citizens and Corporations can work together to meet their common societal goals I do hope in the coming days that the Media Pundits will start pointing out those American and International Corporations who are willing to help “We the Corporation” win the Race to the Top and those corporations who for whatever reason still want to believe in the Old Days of denying their fellow corporations the same prosperity. For while it is a matter of Individual Thinking since Freewill will always trump mob rule, knowing no person is an island I do look forward to seeing how today’s American Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders deal with Today’s Youth understanding that they are Individual Corporations and have the Right to Work for those entities and institutions of government and society that support the common goal of giving every citizen/corporation the opportunity to become economically viable and financially independent.

Although not a Democratic Strategist I do believe with gas prices breaking $3.00 a gallon over the holidays that the Republicans Agenda could be set back by simply demanding that Congress holds hearings on why the rising cost of oil threatens the economic recovery and what can be done in order to resolve the problem. For I wonder how many children did not receive a gift this Christmas because Mom and Dad had to spend so much extra to get to work and heat their homes. And why it is not a knockout blow, I do believe more Americans are interested in the idea of gasoline returning to $4.00 a gallon by year’s end than the Republicans wasting time over trying to convince President Obama he should repeal health care reform and replace it with nothing. So can Americas’ Democratic Machine throw a political monkey wrench into the Republicans first days in office?

Now given the track record of the Republicans unwillingness to allow a Cap and Trade (Energy Policy) Bill to be passed in the last Congress and their unwillingness to regulate the oil companies even after the BP Spill of 2010 I do believe they will be even more reluctant to begin the first week in office discussing what Americans need to do in order to grow the economy, increase jobs, and provide a new source of revenue for the government. Yet, considering all Americans are directly affected by the price of oil and only some have to worry about health care insurance I do believe the case can be made and sustained that Americas’ Energy Policies are more important than the Republicans showboating for the cameras.

Thus, why the words “Political Monkey Wrench” may not be the proper words to use in order to derail the Republicans Agenda, I do believe given the Political Opportunity to bring attention to the rising gas prices effects on our economy and citizens should not be overlooked by the Democratic Leadership. Especially since one can tie the debate of Energy Policies with the Debate over decreasing the debt. And why I realize the reluctance of some in Congress to take on the Conservative Movement, I would say that with the right political wrench the Democrats can put the Speaker of the House on notice that Americans are not going to stand for another two years of Congress doing nothing to address the issues of debt and energy.

On this special day I suppose that it would not be unconceivable to wish for Peace on Earth and Goodwill toward Man; however, even though the cable news are off the air I realize that we have a long way to go. So below is a list of ideas Santa can bring Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders next year.

1)      An Electric Car and Truck which can meet the needs of our Local, State, and  Federal Agencies.

2)      A Renewable Power Plant which can remove our Local, State, and Federal Buildings from the Fossil Fuel Electrical System.

3)      A Modern 911 Response System which will help improve and reduce emergency medical treatments and lead to a breakthrough in how Americans receive health care

4)      A How to Book which will allow our elected officials to show my generation America can build a profitable green sustainable government and society in the 21^st Century?

5)      An Education System which can show how parents, students, and teachers can use the Internet to get a better learning experience.

6)      An innovative way to rebuild Americas’ Infrastructure. For why the Romans may have invented the way roads have been built for years. Knowing that a golf fairway can make an excellent major highway, I do hope the engineers will learn to take advantage of the hovercraft technology of the 20^th Century.

7)      A reinvestment plan which will allow Americans to empower themselves and the country by reducing the debt without the need for raising taxes.

      While a strange request I hope the War Machine can produce the weapons required to end the two wars and bring about a global peace

9)      And though our natural resources are limited I do wish our Elected Officials a book which can demonstrate how the agriculture knowledge of our forefathers and ancestors can lead to Americas’ Corporations providing the needs of an ever growing population.

10)   However, most of all I wish for Americas’ Political Pundits to be taught that why Americas’ Democratic and Republican Leadership must hold firm to their own Beliefs, Principles, and Standards that it dos not need to resort to the childhood playground name calling which has for to long kept the two sides from seeing why they have to learn to work together.

Yes, I realize that after a busy night of delivering presents to all the good boys and girls that it sort of seems inhuman to ask for such things; nevertheless, I do hope by beating next year’s rush the Powers-that-Be can work hard in order to locate such products and services. For although I know Mankind is a long way away from realizing what Peace on Earth and Goodwill toward Man is really about. I do believe the items listed above will lead to Americans having a better Christmas next year.

Why the Right might think they won the battle by defeating the passage of the Budget Bill during this Lame Duck Session, I do believe they will find that March 4, 2011 will get here faster than what they think. For now the 212^th Congress faces the problem of keeping their promises and meeting the needs of society from Jump Street. And why the Republicans and Tea Party can say today they will cut the budget and entitlement programs back to 2008 levels, they fail to realize the one who holds the power is President Obama. For why the Democratic Senate can blame the Minority Republican Leader for not getting anything passed by the Republican House, the fact President Bush can reject any bill which might get through both houses still may see the government shutting down.

Yes, it will be fun to watch as the Republicans and Tea Party struggle to come to terms with the fact their members and supporters do not want to give up their entitlements. For why extending the age of retirement will upset the Youth Vote and limiting Medicare payments to the states will only succeed in pissing off the elderly I can only imagine what their friends on Wall Street will do when they try to reduce corporations welfare. And why all this has to be done in less than 90 days the Democrats would do themselves a favor by forcing the Republican Leadership to find a way to keep their election day promises and still deal with the fact that most Americas will have less money to spend as the cost of oil increases.

So why I am glad to see the Democrats have kept the government running by passing the extension after they attempted to pass the spending bill I do believe a day of reckoning is coming on March 4, 2011 when the Republicans have to decide if they want to break their election day promises or risk shutting down the government once again. For why personally I would like to see Congress pass a balanced budget. Knowing Republicans would have to begin to fund two wars and their health care plan I won’t hold my breath in anticipation.

On the eve of Christmas I am surprised that a few Republicans want to deny the 9/11 First Responders Bill come up for a vote in the Senate. And why I am sure that in their minds there are just reasons; however, I wonder if their inaction will lead to Americas’ First Responders not showing up the next time the call comes in. For though in the days after 9/11 you could not find a single Republican or Democrat who opposed helping the fire fighters, police, and the families, today it seems like some in Congress and the Media have forgotten. Thus, I have to ask should Americas’ First Responders answer a call which will lead to their death.

Yes, preserving and protecting the health of the ones who rush in when everyone is running away should be of top priority; nevertheless, by not wanting to even allow the Senate to vote on the bill sends a message that does not look good for the next time a major crisis occurs. So I ask those who oppose the 9/11 First Responders Bill if they do it out of the Ignorance of Politics or the idea that fire fighters and police should not put themselves in harm’s way. In fact, I wonder what the Senators would do if their local first responders said they would not save their home and property because there was a possibility of harmful gases and material leading to medical problems for Americas’ First Responders.

So why I realize it makes political headlines to oppose any of President Obamas’ Agenda, are you really sure that you want to send this type of message to future fire fighters and police. For why I know anyone can come up with any reason to not fund the healthcare of those who served the country in its time of need. I wonder if the bill fails if the next time such an event happens that Americas’ First Responders will rush in. Because though it is not a question of courage or conviction that I would blame them for not responding, I wonder if the next time Congress will not to have to write the check before any action is taken. For again, should Americas’ First Responders answer the call when they know it will cause them harm?

Hearing that support for passing the budget bill died late Thursday night should come as no surprise to anyone; however, I do find it somewhat strange that the number one thing that killed the bill was the number of earmarks added to the main bill by the Senators. How convenient for those who would rather not fund our troops or see that the government has the funds they need to operate. In fact, I wonder if the bill was amended to include a 50% cut across the board except for the funds needed by our troops and eliminate all earmarks if the same result would have not happened. Thus as the Senate once again fails to do its job I have to ask if the government should not be shut down because the budget fails to get passed.

Now, I realize Senator Reid says he will work with others to pass a bill to keep the government operating for a short term. And why I am sure his staff is glad to hear the news, I wonder how many Republicans will again fail to support the bill unless they receive all the earmarks they want. So why I am sure the departments need money to operate for the next few months, I do hope the Democrats will limit the spending by making the departments operate on the minimum.

Yes, February 28^th does seem long enough for Congress to work out their differences, but something tells me they will elect to extend the time until the next budget is due. So why not go ahead and draw an extension which will keep the departments operating on the same budget they had in 2009 for the next year. And to add a little bit of incentive to pass a budget in the next 60 days I wonder if Senator Reid and Senator McConnell cares to add to the bill an amendment which would not allow another extension.

For why failure should never be rewarded and the idea of Congress spending another trillion dollars should make it a hard pill to swallow, I do believe that if we gave them another 365 days the same problems would cause the members to fail to do their job. So as we go into the new Congress with a government actually running on life support I can only hope that the new budget will be free of Republican Earmarks and reduce the funds directly related for the entitlement programs meant to help states balance their budgets. In this manner

After hearing the Republicans crying about wanting to go home for Christmas I have to wonder if they realize how many Americans are not going to be able to celebrate the holiday. For why it must be nice to have the money to afford to take off a few weeks and let your work gather, the rest of America must work twice as hard just to ensure they can make their bills at the end of the month. And though all the blame does not rest on the Republicans shoulders, I find it hard to blame the Democrats for willfully delaying the Business of the People. So what can we do to ensure Congress has a Merry Christmas?

Shut down the government by not passing a budget extension? Yes, stopping the paychecks of all federal workers until after the new Congress take office may save a few million; however, who would be around to swear them in? And more importantly how would our troops get paid? Thus, why passing the current budget bill in its current form may prove some Republicans don’t want to walk the walk they talk. Nevertheless, one amendment could wipe out every earmark made by Republicans and save the country a few million dollars.

Than we have the Start Treaty which by every measure needs to be passed in order to protect National Security. And why I still cannot figure out why the Republicans won’t even allow the matter to come to a vote, I have to wonder if they would rather see Al Qaeda get a nuke or just piss off Russia by saying that the agreement doesn’t matter.

And thus let us not forget Don’t Ask Don’t Tell which has already been found to be unconstitutional. For why I realize some may have reservations about the problem, I really don’t believe Congress would rather give up their right to pass a Proper Law and force the Obama Administration to take matters in their own hands. So are the Republicans afraid to have the vote today because they know it would pass or is it due to their willfully unwillingness to do their sworn duty?

Yes, a lot of this could have been avoided if the Republican Leadership was not so insistent on being the Party of No; nonetheless, they have and will go down in history as being both the Party of Do-Nothing and No-Nothing if they walk away now. And who is to say that the next two years will not be more of the same. So please go home for Christmas knowing that Americas’ problems could be solved with just a vote on a Bill that would insure President Obama gets reelected in 2012. For why Peace on Earth and Goodwill toward Man may be an Old Saying, I do believe passing a Bill that states America is entering the Race to the Top in building a Green Sustainable Government and Society would go a long way in winning the War of Ideology and Terror started by the Republicans in 2001.

Say what you want about President Obama stance on extending the Bush Tax Cuts; however, knowing that if the Republicans want to win in 2012 than their claim that tax cuts for the wealthy create jobs better see the unemployment in America drop at least to 6-7%. So much for opposing the President and Democrats, now it seems the future of the Rich well being depends on if such a stimulus can keep the economy moving in the right direction while Congress works out how to get the National Debt in order.

And why that don’t mean the Democrats are off the hook, I do believe over the next two years will provide an excellent source of data on how America should move forward. For why the Republicans hate the Ideology of Societal Structure unless it is their own. Will random investment in the Market provide the necessary Equality Funds require. Because why not all jobs created are equal, I hope Americas’ Workforce will force the Corporation and Establishment to provide Livable Wages to the Standard of Living better than the 20th Century.

For again, I see this is another problem the Republicans face in 13 months as they work to deny extending unemployment. Given the fact that a job which does not pay the bills is really called a hobby. And why the Silver Spoons of the World may enjoy such creature comforts, want to see who is to blame if the Middle Class is still losing economic ground in 2012?

Thus,  why I personally think Congress should allow the Bush Tax Cuts to expire and feel the reason they don’t is because they are just to lazy to introduce a better bill. Given the amount of work being piled om the table of the 112th Congress, I don’t think the Republican Leadership in Washington can cry the Democrats caved in without hanging themselves with the same rope. So, President Obama may be taking a difference stance than the Far Left and some Moderates of his political party; nevertheless, I have to smile knowing that if President Obama is going to be a One Timer than many in the Senate and House of Representatives shouldn’t even unpack.

Cause what will be your vote in 2012 if nothing changes in Washington and on Wall Street?

As the Members of Congress run back to Washington to finish their term I wonder if they can find the courage to turn a lame duck into a mighty eagle. For though America faces some hard choices in order to get its house in order and prepare to lead the world in building a better world. It seems to me that there are some who do not understand what they were elected to do two years ago. Because why chance is never simple, dealt a bad hand from the beginning I do believe the Members of the 111^th Congress can and should do the following;

1)      Cut the debt;

Although not popular I do believe the President and Senate should start by reducing the Bush Tax Cuts by 2% across the board. In this manner All Americans would still receive some benefits while increasing the revenue needed to pay down the debt. And why I am sure the nearly $2 trillion dollars added to the budget could be used for several pet projects I would hope the retiring and senior members know to earmark the funds to pay for the two wars and/or put toward helping Americas’ Small Business Owners  and Consumers move toward Energy Independence.

2)      Paying for the War on Terror;

Knowing past Congresses have not paid for the two wars I do believe the 111^th Congress could do a lot to help America recovery economically by learning from the Parents and Grandparents of WWII. For although the selling War Bonds may be seen as feeding the War Machine, the fact that 60 years ago it lead to a boom in the economy in the 50’s and 60’s should not only help reduce the short and long term debt, but also send a strong message to the world that America is in the war to win it.

3)      Economy, Energy, and Jobs;

Understanding the three go hand in hand I do believe the 111^th Congress would make history by creating a package which would create jobs by pushing the economy toward reducing the cost of energy used by the government. For though making the buildings energy efficient in the Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 may seem like a feel good idea to some, expanding the objective to the point of making the buildings self-sufficient with part of the money saved from Bush Tax Cuts should help the private sector by leading the way other institutions can become self-sufficient.

Yes, three simple things can be done by the 111^th Congress to do the heavy lifting which the 112^th Congress cannot and will not accomplish because their members will fear the wrath of the American Voter and Special Interest Groups. Thus, a Lame Duck can become a Mighty Eagle if Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders want to prove they still have faith in the American Public in My Humble Opinion.

For those who want to complain about the new TSA measures to provide safe air flight they might want to realize that flying is a privilege and not a right. And that is not meant to say TSA should or would be successful in stopping a terrorist from getting on a plane, but it will make it harder for those who believe they can change the Mindset of Authority simply by blowing up a plane. No, why the new screening machines was thought up under the Bush Administration and does not completely eliminate the threat, I do believe the claims and fears by a few has more to do with political games than the idea the TSA Workers want to put their hands even close to a person’s privates.

No, Rush and Company can cry all they want about the overreach of the government on this matter; however, unlike real privacy issues such as unwarranted phone taps they do have alternatives to travel. In fact, I almost have to smile to think that a single Flyer would rather miss their flight than submit to a pat down; however, I can think of why some Flyers would not want to have the advance screening or rigorous pat down. For what if they were hiding drugs or other items forbidden on the airplanes, could this be the reason about 15% of the flying public are crying about the fact the Obama Administration has put in place advance screening when it was only a year ago that the same group (Rush and Company) was yelling for the protection. Sort of puts them at a disadvantage in the public debate do it not?

Now I understand that finding a subject to scream about other than the fact the Republicans in Washington hasn’t a clue how to put 2 million Americans back to work before Dec. 31^st so they don’t have to allow unemployment to be extended. And why I can only guess at the next subject Rush and Company will come up with to avoid talking about how Wall Street is making record profits thanks to the actions of President Obama and the Democratic Leadership. Nevertheless, I know that starting Monday after the shameless showing of the boycott call these same pundits will attempt to find another subject which they can try to bash President Obama and the Democratic Leadership.

However, it is too bad since the bigger picture allows Americans to discuss the Right to Travel freely in America and what can be done by the Conservatives in Congress to end Americas’ dependency on foreign oil and supplying our enemy with money from the profits of sales. Nonetheless, that would lead to Rush and Company having to defend the Republicans stance against Cap and Trade.
