Politicians’ Personal Responsibility

It is a little hard to take hearing Nancy Pelosi running on about personal responsibility in healthcare and shared ordeal or for that matter the rich paying their fair share. Which politician is going to accept personal responsibility for the failed middle eastern policies, flat progressive tax across the poor, the stimulus package which completely failed or the unemployment rate. The truth be known if in fact unemployment wasn’t so high then people would probably have health insurance. The assumption Pelosi made on Meet the Press today was that there were skaters who didn’t buy health insurance because they didn’t want to and then stuck everyone else with the check.

Besides the illegal immigrants that are here in this country working illegally, how much of the population does Pelosi believe are skaters atleast outside of DC? Is it .00001%?

Now inside DC how many politicians accept personal responsibilities for their failures? Has Pelosi ever admitted she shouldn’t have been giving rides on the Speakers jet while everyone in America was suffering in a failing economy? Exactly how many of the politicians in DC have taken personal responsibility for the middle eastern war. Nancy Pelosi had oversight and yet it is still going on. Before I have any one in DC dictate to me how I accept personal responsibility for anything they need to accept responsibility themselves. How many members of Congress do you think will be required to purchase their own healthcare? I bet 0%. And isn’t Congress the wealthiest people in the country anyways who feed off the hard work of the average American? Nancy Pelosi is filthy rich. I agree the skaters no longer need to skate and not pay their fair share but that starts with removing the powers of Congress.

And the day they take personal responsibility is the day I will.

But I want to be clear this is both parties who claim this personal responsibility lie. The Republicans (specifically George Bush who lives in a mansion now) claimed it as well. It isn’t that Congress wants us to be personally responsible it is that they want us to be impoverished and taking the bullet so they can live exceptionally well..

It is time the party ends in DC. It is time their karma comes home to roost. The average person outside of the beltway understands well they are getting the shaft from their government every single day. It doesn’t matter which party it is either. It is how to give the people outside the beltway of DC the shaft so people inside the beltway of DC can live less responsible, larger more lucrative lives.

I think if we are going do this road of personal responsibility it should start with Congress which is the most loathed people in the country. Well Wall Street Bankers may run a second but Congress is hated. Personal responsibility begins in the White House and through the Halls of Congress across the street to the Supreme Court before it touches one person in this country.

This isn’t about healthcare although I would have a lot to say about that but about the fact that the United States government habitually and continually fails to under-estimate the people they represent. It is time for a change alright and that change begins with Congress and the White House having to live like the poorest citizens of this country while they are in office. No more perks, no more lies and it is time they accept the responsibilities of their own failures and quit charging the people in the form of taxes.

Arguably, this will never happen as people become politicians not to lead but to avoid responsibilities and commit predatorily acts against the people they claim to serve. It is sad the USA is a country of exceptionally bad politicians who can’t lead their way out of a wet paper bag. The media is not helping their cause either when they don’t know what Medicaid is. It is rather obvious the media doesn’t pay taxes or can speak for the ordinary people of this country when they don’t know about Medicaid. I believe David Gregory had to have someone explain it to him this morning. I was embarrassed for him.

Meet the Press is becoming less relevant as they continue to spin lies to avoid the fact that the real reason people don’t have healthcare is because they don’t have jobs. You can’t tax people who don’t have income so it is stupid of this government to even mention this in the evening news.

Until employment is available and corporations are forced to hire Americans first no one will be better off and the healthcare tax is unenforceable. The healthcare conversation is avoiding that exceptionally disastrous economy which is a real problem for Obama. And politicians will never be able to represent because they do not share the plight of the people they serve and their primary reason for getting into politics is to avoid personal responsibility.

How To Make Politicians Take Personal Responsibility

I believe we should back bill everyone who has served in public office in Washington DC for the past 30 years all of the debt in this country. After all the people outside of DC have no control mover hwat the people inside DC do and it seems they should take not only personal responsibility but financial responsibility as well. And I do mean everyone so that incluldes Presidents from both sides of the aisle. It has been their grand spending schemes so they should pay the debt of this country and not the people who don't have jobs because these smucks have done an exceptionally poor job. And I don't like the Tea Party so they get double billed.

You want change in DC, make DC pay. It is time personal responsibility be taken in DC before anyone outside of DC takes anymore.
