NEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION
The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA. This guy should run for President one day...
"We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights."
ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.
ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.
ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.
ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.
ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.
ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.
ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.
ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from!
ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!

Dr. Office
The thing that makes me madder than hell with doctor offices is they never keep their appointment time except for one doctor that I go to. When you have sn appointment at 3:30 that is the time you should see the doctor. That should not be an estimate of when you will go back.
If doctors would do this, their patients would be much happier. My GI doctor says to arrive 30 minutes before your appointment so they can do all of the paperwork and vitals and the doctor walks into the exam room at that time.
What brings this up is that I arrived at my 3:30 eye appointment at 3:00. It is now 3:50 and I still have not even left the lobby!

Dear Mr. President - V
President Obama:
I would like to offer you a solution to the housing problems and foreclosures. My plan would help homeowners, the banks, and the entire economy.
We would need to create a national lending bank. You could simply call it the BOO (Bank of Obama). Then we would have to create some simple lending rules. They would be similar to most loans but with a few more rules. The only way to get a BOO loan would to be a current lender recommending it instead of a foreclosure. The homeowners would have to agree to have their loan transferred to BOO. BOO would have a fixed interest rate of around 6-7% and terms of up to 40 years or being paid before the homeowner turns 65. The biggest stipulation with a loan from BOO is that if you do not make your payments, wages could be garnished but if you loose your job you do not have to make payments but interest would still be charged for up to 1 year with a minimum of 1 year waiting before you would get relief benefit again, If employment is not found in 1 year, assets could be seized just as the IRS does. A BOO loan cannot be included in a bankruptcy.
Think of the benefits that this would provide... an almost guaranteed return of 6-7%. Once someone gets a BOO loan, BOO would be guaranteed money from their income. This would also allow people to stay in their homes longer and in brief unemployment that ability to continue to pay other debts.

Dear Mr. President - IV
President Obama:
I hope what I heard today is not true. I thought that you were a fairly smart person, even though I do not agree with you most of the time. After what I heard today I hope that it is not true.
Today I heard that your next thing is to reduce the national debt. How can you reduce that national debt when you are "giving tax breaks", passing the largest spending package ever, and facing increasing unemployment. In case you don't understand, you cannot call up your buddy Ben and tell him to fire up the printing press.

Dear Mr. President - III
President Obama:
Why are you doing all of these bailouts? They are doing nothing but moving America to a more and more socialist country. They are providing a national well fare system that people will rely on. What is going to happen when people stop lending to America? We need people to be encouraged to work. Sitting at home and receiving a paycheck from the government is not an encouragement.
My solution is simple. It is a complete overhaul of the federal government tax system. I know that this will put a lot of people out of jobs for a while but it will create many more jobs.
First, cancel out all of the stimulus packages that have been passed in the past few years.
Second, eliminate all federal income taxes for everyone. You should have enough money from the stimulus packages to cover what the government needs for now. By eliminating federal income taxes, everyone that pays taxes now will see an immediate increase in income. (I know people without jobs do not get helped, but that comes in a minute). With the increased income, people with jobs will spend more, eat out more, and start paying their home loans. The effect of this will stimulate the banking system and require businesses to hire more people which will eventually drastically drop the unemployment rate.
Next, create a national sales tax system and make the sales tax on everything that is new and not a food item. 15% - 20% would not be a bad rate. Now everyone pays their equal share of taxes. Existing homes would be purchased. Americans would begin to save more. The banks will be able to make more loans. The economy would completely revamp itself.
Finally, create a monthly rebate to everyone. This rebate could eliminate welfare and other assistant programs. Everyone is treated equally by the government. This could help eliminate homelessness. The poor get the same tax breaks as the rich. The rich get the same help from the government as the poor. Everyone would be treated equally.
