10+ Abuses for the Past 30+ Years

These 10+ abuses below (most being manifestations of unchecked greed) did not all come about by mere coincidence.
These 10+ abuses are gradually eroding the future and security of the nation.
Government is too corrupt, but too many voters repeatedly reward corrupt, irresponsible, and incompetent incumbent politicians with 85%-to-90% re-election rates.
It takes a lot of abuse before a country decays into lawlessness and economic disaster, and the past 30+ years are evidence of that.
That is, the U.S. is still one of the 26 best nations (of the hundreds) in the world to live.
But for how much longer?
What will the U.S. be like if these abuses are allowed to continue much longer? 
The growing wealth disparity (see chart below) and these 17+ economic conditions have been deteriorating in the U.S. for over 30 years, because of the following abuses:

1. Lawlessness

2. Wars

3. Plutocracy / Kleptocracy

4. Illegal Immigration  and  Unfair Trade Practices

5. Election Problems

6. $Loading...  National Debt ,  $53 Trillion Nation-Wide Debt  and

7. Inflation / Usury / the Monetary-System is a Pyramid-Scheme

8. Regressive Taxation

9. Insufficient / Inadequate Education

10. HealthCare or DangerousCare?
    
    . . .  other  problems  (e.g.  environment,  energy vulnerabilities,  entitlements,  the human factor, etc.) . . .

So, why do the majority of voters repeatedly reward corrupt incumbent politicians in Do-Nothing Congress for all of it with 85%-to-90% re-election rates? 
Is that working?
Below are 10+ things that are not new things, or new changes we should make, or new ideas, as much as 10+ abuses we should stop as soon as possible, before they get worse:

1. Lawlessness: 
    
   • Constitutional Violations:  Article V of U.S. Constitution is being violated.  Since when did ALL 535 Congress persons agree 100% on anything?  Isn't it a bit strange that ALL 535 Congress persons have chosen to (unanimously) violate Article V of the U.S. Constitution, despite over 607 amendment applications from ALL 50 states?   Congress has an obvious conflict of interest.  If we allow some laws to be selectively ignored, then what is next?  Thirty-eight states (more than two-thirds required by Article V) have submitted multiple amendment applications for a BALANCED-BUDGET amendment, but Congress has flagrantly violated Article V of the U.S. Constitution by refusing to call an Article V Convention.  And the Supreme Court dismissed a case (Walker v. Members of Congress) regarding Congress' violation of Article V.   All 3 branches of government are supposed to maintain checks-and-balances on each other, but instead, all 3 branches are complicit in violation of the U.S. Constitution, and their oaths to uphold and protect the Constitution. Americans should be able to agree on the basic principle that only citizens should vote, and government officials have an obligation to enforce those laws.
   • Article 4, Section 4; failure to secure the borders;
   • Immigration laws are flagrantly being ignored, while thousands of homicides and other crimes by illegal aliens are occurring annually. Incumbent politicians prefer to despicably pit American citizens and illegal aliens against each other for profits and votes;
   • Identity Theft (one of the fastest growing crimes in the U.S.);
   • Spying on citizens without civil oversight; FISA and NSA;
   • Torture (illegal by U.S. laws and International Treaty);
   • Eminent Domain Abuses(6 new cases per day) is a classic example of legal plunder via perversion of the laws to do the very things the laws were supposed prevent.  And, sadly, the abuse of the eminent domain laws were supported by the U.S. Supreme Court;
   • Habeas Corpus;
   • 23 (or more) innocent people executed since year 1900;
   • Crime rates are increasing (after falling for many years);
       
2. Wars:  Some unnecessary wars.  As of year 2008, we have had 7 wars in the last 90 years (about 1 war every 13 years).  A war in Iraq and Afghanistan are ongoing as of late 2008.  Some of these wars were probably unnecessary (i.e. Vietnam and Iraq:2003-present) which was largely based on false information (see video; see transcript) and invalid intelligence about Weapons of Mass Destruction that was never verified).  That is not merely REGRESSIVE.  It is OPPRESSIVE. 
      
3. Plutocracy / Kleptocracy: Our government is FOR-SALE, as evidenced by 99.85% of all 200 million eligible voters that are vastly out-spent by a tiny 0.15% of all 200 million voters who make 83% of all federal campaign donations (of $200 or more).  How can the remaining 99.85% of all 200 Million eligible voters hope to out-spend the vastly wealthy who abuse their wealth to control and influence government?  The bought-and-paid-for incumbent politicians (puppets) carry the water for their wealthy donors (puppeteers).  As a result, Corruption,  corpocrisy, corporate welfare, graft, pork-barrel, subsidies, waste, a severely bloated federal government that continues to grow and grow to nightmare proportions, and other manifestations of unchecked greed are rampant.  That is not only worse than any REGRESSIVE tax.  It is OPPRESSIVE.  It is essentially a government of, by, and for those that abuse vast wealth to control and influence government. 
   
   And while many voters know this, the voters do a very strange thing.  It is the Voter Paradox:  Most voters complain about corruption, give the President and Congress dismally low approval ratings, but then still reward incumbent politicians within Congress with a 85% to 90% re-election rates which empowers and rewards corrupt incumbent politicians to grow more corrupt and irresponsible.  It also saddles the President with a dysfunctional Congress.  It is no mystery that things continue to deteriorate, and the nation's problems continue to grow in number and severity.
    
4. Illegal immigration is not only costly due to job displacement and many burdens and costs (estimated between $70 Billion and $338 Billion) that are shifted to tax-payers; tax-payers who already pay REGRESSIVE sales taxes and REGRESSIVE income taxes for the already burdened social services.  It is dangerous too.  That's not fear-mongering.  Massive illegal immigration is accompanied with increased crime rates (a fact that U.S. government does not want you to know about).  That's the sad truth.  More Americans have been murdered in 3 years (between 2005 and 2008) than all U.S. Troops killed in Iraq in 5 years (between 2003-2008).  Crime along the borders is rampant, and it is also pouring across our borders.
   
   Now, 7 years after 11-SEP-2001, 18 of the 19 perpetrators of 11-SEP-2001 (some who were illegal aliens and/or had violated several immigration laws), possessed 13 state-issued drivers' licenses and/or 21 ID cards , and all 19 hijackers had obtained Social Security numbers (some real, some fake). The terrorists very simply tapped into an enormous market for fraudulent documents that exists because tens of millions of illegal aliens have successfully breached our borders and now reside here illegally; anonymously; spawning widespread document and identity fraud and crime that threatens our ability to distinguish illegal aliens from U.S. citizens and legal foreign residents; and giving rise to the fastest growing crime in America: identity theft.  All for profits , votes , and (supposedly) misplaced compassion.
   
   5 of the 19 hijackers of 11-SEP-2001 were illegal aliens, and had violated federal immigration laws while they were in the United States.
   And amazingly, in the months before 11-SEP-2001, 4 of those terrorists were stopped by local police for speeding.
   Those 4 illegal aliens could have been arrested, "convicted", and deported, if only the police officers had realized that they were illegal aliens. 
   And 14 of the 19 hijackers were also on the FBI's Terror Watch List !
    
   Our despicable politicians and greedy employers are selling us out in numerous ways.  Government won't prosecute illegal employers.  Without internal enforcement too, a fence won't stop the greedy illegal employers.    For example, see this law firm (Cohen & Grigsby) that teaches corporations how to avoid hiring Americans (i.e. H-1B Visa abuse, and fake job advertisements).  Also, the richest person in the U.S. (Bill Gates) wants the government to increase the limits on H-1B Visas so that he can import more cheap labor.  The problem with this race-to-the-bottom model is that wages rise unless you continue to increase the inflow of cheap labor.  Therefore, many Republican and Democrat incumbent politicians are despicably pitting American citizens and illegal aliens against each other for profits and votes. 
         
5. Election Problems:
     
   • Election Reform:  What good is voting if voters can't get an accurate vote-count?   How can an accurate vote be obtained without accurate identification to prove citizenship and eligibility to vote?   Especially with tens of millions of illegal aliens.  If Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) can dispense cash reliably and update bank balances, and provide a printed receipt, why can't voting machines reliably count votes, provide a print-out (paper trail) and each voter with a unique number to match to a database listing and record of the votes?   

     The GAO (Government Accountability Office) estimated that up to 3% of individuals called for jury duty from voter registration rolls in just one U.S. district court were not U.S. citizens.  That is enough to affect a close election (such as the 2000 presidential election).  Especially since Florida has over 1 million illegal aliens.  In California, a congressional seat came within 200 votes of being stolen in year 1996 by votes by illegal aliens.  The U.S. Attorney estimated that there were 80,000 illegal aliens registered to vote in Chicago, IL.  The grand jury found that aliens registered so they could other documents identifying them as U.S. citizens,  and illegal aliens are using their voter registration cards to obtain a myriad of benefits, from social security, Medicaid, MediCAL,  jobs (including jobs within the Defense Department), etc..  More recently, Bexar County, TX., it was found that hundreds of aliens registered to vote, some of whom had voted in a dozen local, state, and federal elections, and Harris County found a Norwegian citizen who had voted in a state legislative race decided by only 33 votes. 
     
     Similar accounts from many other states such as Utah and Arizona demonstrate that this is a widespread problem.   Yet, many politicians (in both sides of the two-party duopoly, but mostly Democrat) reject any form of voter identification (yet another example of our own elected officials despicably pitting Americans and illegal aliens against each other for votes and profits).

   • Many unfair and illegal barriers are preventing access for third party and independent candidates to election ballots, limiting voting choices and candidates, and helping to increase the security of the incumbent politicians' cu$hy, coveted incumbencies, as evidenced by the two-party duopoly's 85% to 90% re-election rates in Congress, and 90% of elections are won by the candidate that spends the most  money. 
   • The winner-take-all style elections are not providing the best choices to voters, which may be improved by an Approval Voting system.
   • Gerrymandering is defrauding the voters via deceptive manipulation of geographical boundaries. 
   • 90% of elections are won by the candidate that spends the most  money, giving rise to an elitist, plutocratic, and  arrogant government.  Irresponsible incumbent politicians are bought-and-paid-for, but too many voters repeatedly reward incumbent politicians with 85%-to-90% re-election rates in Congress.  One reason for that is because the voting system caters to the two-party duopoly and capitalizes on the voters' laziness by placing visible party associations (e.g. Democrat or Republican) next to each candidates' name on the voting ballot, and by providing a straight-party-ticket-lever (or button).  As a result, too many voters blindly and lazily pull the party-lever (i.e. vote straight ticket) without even knowing the candidate they are voting for, much less the candidates' voting records.
       
6. $9.6 Trillion National Debt is being piled up on voters and younger generations (it could take centuries to pay down).  With an approaching 77 million baby boomer bubble (13,175 or more people per day eligible for Social Security and Medicare), some adjustments will be necessary. So much debt is unfair to future generations.   For those that don't think the debt is any reason for concern, perhaps they should see this movie:  http://www.IOUSAtheMovie.com .   Here's more information about the debt.  And think about this one question that no one seems able to answer:
    
   • Where will the money come from to merely pay the INTEREST on the National Debt or the $53 Trillion nation-wide debt, much less the money to reduce the PRINCIPAL, when that money does not yet exist?   Especially when 80% of all Americans own only 17% of all wealth in the U.S.?
          
7. The monetary system is a pyramid scheme:   Inflation is like a REGRESSIVE tax, since the poor are limited in ways of preserving wealth with property, gold, stocks, homes, etc., and their incomes are not keeping up with inflation.  Household incomes have been falling for 30 years (especially when considering more workers per household, more regressive taxation, more National Debt, more illegal immigration, incessant inflation since year 1956, etc.).  For over 7 years (since year 2000), the U.S. Dollar has fallen significantly against all major international currencies.
   
   Let's make some money! Cha-Ching!
     
   • Why do the banks get to create money out of thin air?  Up to 90% of each loan is new money printed out of thin air.
   • Why do the banks receive the interest on the money created out of thin air?
   • Why do the banks get to convert money (printed out of thin air) into real assets and property via confiscation on foreclosures and defaulted loans?
   • Why do the banks get to use predatory practices, to hasten the conversion of money (printed out of thin air) into real assets and property?

   The monetary system is a clever pyramid scheme, which did not come about by mere accident, and it will eventually collapse, as all pyramid schemes do, when the capacity for more debt is finally reached.
   The two fundamental problems with the Federal Reserve Bank's (and member banks') monetary system is:
    

   • a moral problem:  usury
   • and a mathematical problem which all pyramid schemes suffer. All pyramid schemes are doomed to eventual collapse.  And while it might take a long time (i.e. many decades; perhaps centuries), the end result is inevitable, and the journey is painful due to the many abuses seen on this page.

   The Federal Reserve loans money to member banks, and up to 90% of each loan from the Federal Reserve is new money created out of thin air.
   This is why The M3 Money Supply increased from $135 Billion in year 1950 to $10.15 Trillion in year 2005 (i.e. increased by a factor of 75.2 !). 
   This is why A 1950 U.S. Dollar is now worth less than 10 cents. 
   This is why there is pressure to grow GDP exponentially, which is unsustainable (i.e. 3% of this year's GDP is more than last year's GDP, and so on).
   This is why the U.S. Dollar is falling like a rock.
   This is why there is pressure to increase productivity and increase profits (via reduced household incomes, illegal immigration, predatory lending, more debt, more money printing, more confiscation of property which converts money printed out of thin air into real assets and property, more unfair trade policies, more war profiteering, more regressive taxation, more of the 10+ abuses on this page, etc.).  It is doomed to collapse.  It is a mathematical certainty.  Exponential growth to avoid collapse of this pyramid scheme is impossible.  Exponential growth and sustainability are not compatible.
   
   This pyramid scheme was also one of the major causes of the Great Depression (the Federal Reserve was signed into existence in 1913 by President Woodrow Wilson, who later regretted it very much).
   Unfortunately, we learned nothing from it, and we restarted the same doomed cycle (i.e. pyramid scheme).
   Isn't it interesting that pyramid schemes (see this pyramid calculator) are illegal in many places, but the biggest pyramid scheme on the planet is not?
   By the way, with $12.8 Trillion borrowed and spent from the Social Security system, making it a pay-as-you-go system, it is partially a pyramid scheme too.
    

8. REGRESSIVE taxation:  
    
   • The current federal tax system is effectively REGRESSIVE due to numerous tax loop holes and ridiculous complexity which makes it ripe for abuse. Also, capital gains and some dividends are taxed at 5% to 15%, capital gains are exempt from Social Security and Medicare taxes, and income above the cap ($94,200 in year 2006) are exempt from Social Security taxes.  This is why Warren Buffet, the 2nd wealthiest person in the U.S., pays a lower percentage of income (e.g. 17.7% on $46 Million in year 2006), than his secretary (who paid 30% in federal taxes on an income of $60K). 
     How can that happen? 
     • The top federal income tax bracket on $60K (in year 2006) was about 20% (or 18.33% after standard deductions and exemptions);
     • Social Security tax is:   2 *   6.2% = 12.4%  (on the first $94,200; on the gross income, before any deductions);
     • Medicare tax is:           2 * 1.45% =   2.9%  (there is no cap on Medicare; on the gross income, before any deductions);
     • Total Social Security and Medicare tax rate is:   2 * (6.2% + 1.45%)  =  2 * 7.65% = 15.3% (the employer pays half of the Social Security and Medicare tax, but it really comes out of the employee's income; the employee really bears this cost; also, the self-employed pay the entire 15.3% themselves); 
     • therefore, the maximum percentage of federal taxes on $60K of payroll could be as high as 31.0%. 
       For example:
       • Tax = [($60K - $5150 personal  deduction - $3,300 for standard exemptions) * 18.33% tax rate] + ($60K * 15.3% Social Security & Medicare)
       • Tax = [($51,550) * 18.33%] + ($9,180 for Social Security & Medicare) = [($51,550) * 18.33%] + ($9,180 Social Security & Medicare)
       • Tax = [$9,451 ] + ($9,180 Social Security & Medicare)
       • Tax = $18,631 = 31% of $60K    (which is a higher percentage than Warren Buffet's 17.7% in total federal taxes on $46 Million). 
         Is that fair ?
     • However, Warren Buffet's secretary paid 30% in 2006 (1% less than the potential 31% above) in total federal taxes on $60K income (see above), which is probably because of a 401K deduction, and/or some other deduction (e.g. a charitable donation). 
     • Even if the employer's 50%/50% contribution for Social Security and Medicare are excluded, the secretary's Tax is:
       • Tax = [$9,451 ] + ($9,180 / 2  for Social Security & Medicare)
       • Tax = $14,401 = 23.4% of $60K   (which is still a higher percentage than Warren Buffet's 17.7% in total federal taxes on $46 Million). 
         Is that fair ?
     • Whatever sort of tax system the voters have, they should ask to see the tax-curve across all income levels, because many tax-payers are not aware of the clever schemes being used to heap the highest percentages onto the middle-income group, and lower the tax percentages for the wealthy (such as the current regressive tax system):
       
     • Clever, eh ?
           
   • But, if you think the current tax system is bad, it could get even worse.  Look at the following 91 Congress persons who are advocating the severely REGRESSIVE un-FairTax.org's 30% National Sales Tax.  Fall for this REGRESSIVE tax system, and the disparity trend of the last 30+ years will get much worse. 
     Then ask yourself three questions: 
     (1) WHO will absolutely love the 30% National Sales Tax system ?  
     (2) and WHY ?  
     (3) and WHO is promoting the regressive 30% National Sales Tax system ? 
   • Here's a better, more simple, and more fair 17% Income Tax System that doesn't require vast changes, and does not tax spending only (NOTE: all sales taxes are typically and historically REGRESSIVE unless everyone spends an equal percentage of their income, revealing the fundamental flaw in taxing spending).
   • We have too many taxes on too many things that are all like hidden sales taxes.  All sales taxes are  REGRESSIVE.  We have dozens and dozens of REGRESSIVE sales taxes (city, state, county sales taxes, fuel taxes, telephone excise taxes and fees, etc.); all sales taxes are REGRESSIVE.  Yet, that doesn't stop these 91 Congress persons (mostly Republicans) from advocating an extremely unfair, fraudulent, and regressive 30% National Sales Tax/Rebate system.    
   • Caps (e.g. currently $97,500 in year 2006) on Social Security taxes is a REGRESSIVE tax. The wealthy collect Social Security, but they do not contribute proportionately with respect to income.   The argument for the cap is that the wealthy pay more in than they will ever receive back.  So?  Social Security and Medicare are subsistence systems.  Not a retirement system in which the government is merely holding your money for you until you retire.  Therefore, if we are going to have a Social Security and Medicare system, we should all pay an equal percentage.  Otherwise, the system is REGRESSIVE.  
   • Property taxes in many cases are REGRESSIVE, since (like all sales taxes are REGRESSIVE), as income decreases, the property tax increases (as a percentage of income).  Also, property taxes are double, triple, quadruple, quintuple, . . . , N-tuple taxation because it is repeated every year!   A home owner is taxed every year on what the home owner already owns.  A $100K house can be taxed $2K every year.  That is $10K after only 5 years.  And to make matters worse, property taxes keep rising with inflation.  In only 20 years, your total property taxes could exceed the original price of the property.  And rising rates are running some people out of their homes.  It forces the elderly to downsize and sell homes they have lived in for many years to reduce their annual property tax. 
   • Here is a better idea for a more fair, 17% flat income tax system only on income above the poverty level. But Congress doesn't like it. Congress is where good ideas go to die.  Congress prefers the REGRESSIVE tax system they have now.

         

9. Insufficient / Inadequate Education:   Not only is education in math, science, and technology important to compete in a increasingly competitive global economy, but insufficient education about government, human nature, and the many abuses and manifestations of unchecked greed (described on this page) is equally disastrous, and leads to the failure to recognize the importance of Education itself, Transparency, and Accountability, which breeds Corruption and numerous abuses listed on this page:
    
   • Responsibility =  Power  +  Conscience  +  Education  +  Transparency  +  Accountability 
   • Corruption      =  Power  -   Conscience  -   Education  -   Transparency  -  Accountability

   Most (if not all) politicians don't want you to know that.
   You won't learn that in public schools.
   You won't learn about the pyramid-scheme monetary system, regressive taxation, lies told by your elected officials, election fraud, or the many abuses in public schools.
   In a voting nation, an educated electorate is paramount. 
   Otherwise, the uneducated and the ignorant, as usual, will be abused and exploited.
   Either way, the voters will get their Education one way or another, and the voters will have the government that they deserve.
     

10. HealthCare or DangerousCare?:  Healthcare is not only increasingly unaffordable, but dangerous too!   HealthGrades.com reported (27-July-2004) that "An average of 195,000 people in the U.S. died due to potentially preventable, in-hospital medical errors in each of the years 2000, 2001 and 2002, according to a new study of 37 million patient records".  Once again, part of the problem is government meddling, the growing corpocrisy, corporatism, and other manifestations of unchecked greed.   Health Care Solutions are needed.  While government is not necessarily responsible for providing universal health care, it is responsible for protecting consumers from some greedy corporations that will do anything for a buck.  Also, illegal immigration is placing huge burdens on the healthcare system. Illegal aliens are over-running our ERs, hospitals, Medicaid, and welfare.  If the 9 problems (above) were adequately addressed, it would reduce the pressures on the healthcare system. 
     
    • The following (in descending order) are the major causes for high health care costs:
      1. Hospitals and Doctors (59% of expenditures; year 2006);
      2. Pharmaceutical Corporations (10% of expenditures; year 2006);
      3. Insurance Companies (12% of insurance premiums);
      4. Illegal aliens (a primary reason for hundreds of over-run hospitals closing nation-wide); costing an estimated $70 Billion to $338 Billion in annual net losses;
      5. Politicians and government bureaucracy (government controls 46% of national health care spending; year 2006);
      6. Lawyers (2% of expenditures; year 2004);
      7. Patients (25% have bad habits; e.g. obesity, smoking, insufficient exercise, etc.);

• more unfunded liabilities (e.g. hundreds of billions of unfunded Medicare liabilities, ongoing wars in Iraq, and ongoing war in Afghanistan);
• job displacement by tens of millions of illegal aliens, and hundreds of thousands of H-1B Visas and H-2B Visas (depressing wages further);
• unfair taxation:  the tax system is regressive, whereby Warren Buffet paid 17.7% in federal taxes on $46 Million and his secretary paid 30% in federal taxes on $60K (in year 2006); the bottom 80% shoulder the largest percentage of their income to pay the crushing government debt (including future generations).

Why has the nation-wide debt been growing for over 62 years (not only in magnitude, but as a percentage of GDP ($13.86 Trillion in 2007))?

These trends (due to the abuses above) are causing a growing wealth disparity gap and many worsening economic conditions for most Americans.
With millions of foreclosures (see below), many Americans are being forced to liquate their assets (e.g. homes, savings, etc.).
Home equities have fallen below 50% (the lowest level since year 1945).
Savings rates have fallen below negative 0.5% (the lowest level since year 1933):

Of course, while voters still have the right to vote, the voters theoretically could change it.  But that isn't likely while voters are in the habit of repeatedly rewarding irresponsible incumbent politicians with re-election  (97.6% between 1996 and 2006).  Unfortunately, that is not likely to change until the consequences of the voters' apathy and complacency finally becomes too painful.  Only when the consequences become too painful will enough voters finally draw the connection between corruption in Do-Nothing Congress and repeatedly rewarding incumbent politicians with 85%-to-90% re-election rates.

Unfortunately, the politicians have a very clever mechanism that capitalizes on the voters' apathy and complacency: the party-lever.  Too many voters simply pull the party-lever without even knowing who their senators or representatives are, much less their voting records.  It is fast, easy, and makes the voter feel like a team member.  Along with the party-lever, there's the circular partisan warfare. Politicians love to fuel it, and too many voters are all too eager to wallow in it. Again, it capitalizes on the voters' apathy, complacency, and laziness because:

• Blaming the OTHER party is easier than taking responsibility.
• Blaming the OTHER party is easier than admitting fault.
• Blaming the OTHER party is easier than admitting that incumbent politicians in BOTH parties are so corrupt and irresponsible, that there is really very little difference between them.
• Blaming the OTHER party is the easy route, and that is the second way in which incumbent politicians capitalize on the voters' apathy, complacency, and laziness.       

But, eventually, pain will trump complacency and apathy, when the consequences finally become too painful.  That is human nature.  There are cycles.  2.00 steps forward, 1.99 steps backward, and eventually, there is either progress, or growing disparity (or worse).

Either way, the voters will get their education one way or another, and the voters will have the government that they deserve.
