Enough feeding at the DC Trough.
Renovate K Street....send the lobbyists home.
“Renovate K Street....send the lobbyists home.”
Wasn’t that what Senator McSwamp’s ‘Campaign Finance Reform’ that GWB signed into law supposed to take care of?
Another ‘bill of goods’ from our good friends in RINOland.
You’ve got to be kidding me. Each of these from their personal wealth could rebuild their papers from the ground up and not miss a dime of that money.
The corporate press is not the free press. The free press is guys like Jim Robinson and Free Republic. It’s every American on twitter, email, etc., more than it’s corporate, globalist news outfits.
They are anti free press we saw with extortionist CNN, the Cosa Nostra News Network.
“Renovate K Street....send the lobbyists home.”
If you really want to do that, help us pass H.R.25 & S.18, the “Fair Tax Act of 2017.”
Quoting FRom the legislation: (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/18)
“This bill is a tax reform proposal that imposes a national sales tax on the use or consumption in the United States of taxable property or services in lieu of the current income and corporate income tax, employment and self-employment taxes, and estate and gift taxes. The rate of the sales tax will be 23% in 2019, with adjustments to the rate in subsequent years. There are exemptions from the tax for used and intangible property, for property or services purchased for business, export, or investment purposes, and for state government functions.
“Under the bill, family members who are lawful U.S. residents receive a monthly sales tax rebate (Family Consumption Allowance) based upon criteria related to family size and poverty guidelines.
“The states have the responsibility for administering, collecting, and remitting the sales tax to the Treasury.
“Tax revenues are to be allocated among: (1) the general revenue, (2) the old-age and survivors insurance trust fund, (3) the disability insurance trust fund, (4) the hospital insurance trust fund, and (5) the federal supplementary medical insurance trust fund.
“No funding is authorized for the operations of the Internal Revenue Service after FY2021.
“Finally, the bill terminates the national sales tax if the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution (authorizing an income tax) is not repealed within seven years after the enactment of this bill.”
By replacing the Communist Manifesto inspired progressive income tax and abolishing the IRS, the FAIRtax eliminates the kinds of tax code abuses/manipulations that have kept many thousands of lobbyists employed, much to the benefit of certain individuals/groups/businesses/industries and the detriment of We the People: (Excerpted FRom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobbying_in_the_United_States)
“A report in The Nation in 2014 suggested that while the number of 12,281 registered lobbyists was a decrease since 2002, lobbying activity was increasing and “going underground” as lobbyists use “increasingly sophisticated strategies” to obscure their activity.[9] Analyst James A. Thurber estimated that the actual number of working lobbyists was close to 100,000 and that the industry brings in $9 billion annually.[9]”

In closing, I can confidently assert that:
America will never be a FRee country so long as we have an income tax and an IRS!
