Dear Chuck Norris, thanks for good article "Don't tread on me!" As politicians put it 'Rudeness' is happening too much! It's so sad, politicians can't see that Taxpayers have had enough of their rhetoric, their borrowing trillions, without their consent, selling American jobs to the highest bidder in any foreign country, passing laws that they don't understand, let alone read, and they want to call Tapxayers ignorant? Taxpayers don't understand why you can write politicians, all affilations and race, til you're blue in the face, only to get a 'FORM LETTER' in return. In other words, there is no way in hell that they understand what you're trying to ask them. These programmed 'so-called' leaders, are not leaders, just 'blood-sucking ticks' drawing big salaries and retirements and, finally, Taxpayers know why you can't get an answer from them, they don't know enough to give you an answer.

Taxpayers are going to have to make sure government is going to run like a business! No longer can America afford what politicians have done in past. Instead of 'cutting government programs, public schools, non-profit organizations, including ACORN AND NAACP, housing, social and welfare programs so America could get out of debt, they're managed to bankrupt America; therefore, our children and grandchildren have no future!

Shouldn't padlocks be put on these ‘public servants' offices and 'pink slips' handed out?

Fair Tax, to include property taxes, stopping Bailouts, handouts, social and
welfare programs should be top priorities! Government's out of control, spending
billions for infrastructures is creating bigger government. Until textile and
manufacturing jobs are back in America, no need for infrastructures!

Politicians' salaries and retirements must be cut to $12,000.00 yearly! Even with
government cuts, it'll be 2035, at best, before America can, once again, be stable.

When Taxpayers think of all the useless Committees created by politicians like
‘Government Reform, Ethics, Ways and Means, Appropriations,, Economics,
Financial Services, Pensions, Rules, Finance, Education, etc'. and several
decades later, wouldn't you think that someone honest with intregrity would have
stepped up to the plate and put an end to ‘tax and spend endless money pits? Amazing? They're
enlarging government payrolls, thus, taking Taxpayers money and jobs away! They're not even smart enough to know that 'no jobs - no tax monies'; therefore, no more salaries or retirements! Ronald
Reagan made best statement! I'm quoting “Government isn't the solution to our
problems! Government is the problem!”

While I'm on a roll, 'Czars are Kings and Emperors' and, believe me, these people aren't Kings or Emperors, let along Royalty!

Thanks for the overview, Chuck and the practical suggestions. I think you may need an independent 3rd political party to make real progress, though. Maybe your friend Mike Huckabee would be interested in leading it. In the meantime, you may find the following interesting, from a fellow Texan resident, about what you term "hellcare." Michael Connelly is a retired attorney and Constitutional Law instructor and lives in Carrollton, Texas, http://michaelconnelly.viviti.com/. What Mr Connelly says about the bill matches a lot of what is in your article, about what you're up against over there. His opening salvo (paragraph) is compelling. "Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected."

Thanks, Alan O'Reilly for your helpful information. Taxpayers, me included, read the 'Healthcare' and conclude that it is "Hellcare" and that the 'blood-sucking ticks' are the ones, along with their non-profit organizations, social and welfare programs, that will be gaining. But then, of course, anyone that works and pays taxes already knew this! Obama stated last night that "everyone would have to take this plan or else", but yet, when people call him 'Liar' for reversing his rhetoric so many times, they're full of rudeness! As far as Taxpayers see anything that government has it's fingers in, you'll never see anything good happen to America. Just further destruction!
What do you think?

You're welcome, Shirley. I think that the destruction of the US, in part by unbridled taxation, is deliberate, in order to force the strongest nation on earth to be a meekly compliant member of, quite frankly, a Satanic New World Order i.e. a global concentration camp. You have massive immigration problems, too, from across the Rio Grande and elsewhere. Also, I believe that unemployment in the US has reached 7,000,000 but your president will not do anything to reverse it, regardless of what he says. Significant parts of your industry have declined, I believe, with, for example, many suburbs in once mighty Detroit, the centre of the automotive industry, now derelict. On the West Coast, i.e. California, I believe that many once palatial homes are now abandoned owing to the economic difficulties and the once plush swimming pools are now stagnant breeding grounds for disease carrying mosquitoes, while in the suburbs, the Hispanic MS-13 gangs, said by the FBI to be the most dangerous in the US, have effectively taken over in many areas. And I haven't even mentioned the Islamicist dimension. Whether or not they were directly responsible for 9/11 is still under debate but many of them were certainly quite pleased about it, (i.e. "my enemy's enemy...) while genuine Brits over here shed tears. For all that, the USA is still very strong but like the UK, she is being bled to death by a thousand cuts, many of them vicious in the extreme.

Chuck- Good points about the founding fathers. Did you realize that George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Dabney Carr, Patrick Henry and others actually Predicted the situation we now find ourselves in with obongo and the zionist jews that control him? Let me quote Washington and Franklin for you and your readers:

"They (the Jews) work more effectively against us than the enemy's armies. They are a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties and the great cause we are engaged in. It is much to be lamented that each state, long ago, has not hunted them down as pests to society and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America."
Source: Maxims of George Washington by A.A. Appleton & Co.

As the American colonies rose in revolt against political oppression occasioned by the attempt of Jewish banking houses in Europe to consolidate their economic foothold in the New World, no man among the Founding Fathers was more alert to the designs of international Jewry than that shrewd elder statesman of the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin. Perhaps Ben Franklin's most damning indictment of Jewry was contained in his famous prophecy at the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in Philadelphia. In one of the most anti-Jewish utterances of all time, he declared:
"I fully agree with General Washington, that we must protect this young nation from an insidious influence and impenetration. That menace, gentlemen, is the Jews. In whatever country Jews have settled in any great number, they have lowered its moral tone; depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated themselves and have not been assimilated; have sneered at and tried to undermine the Christian religion upon which that nation was founded by objecting to its restrictions; have built up a state within a state; and when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially, as in the case of Spain and Portugal.
"For over 1700 hundred years, the Jews have been bewailing their sad fate in that they have been exiled from their homeland, as they call Palestine. But, gentlemen, did the world give it to them in fee simple, they would at once find some reason for not returning. Why? Because they are vampires, and vampires do not live on vampires. They cannot live only amongst themselves. They must subsist on Christians and other people not of their race. If you do not exclude them from these United States in the Constitution, in less than 200 years they will have swarmed here in such great numbers that they will dominate and devour the land, and change our form of government, for which we Americans have shed our blood, given our lives, our substance, and jeopardized our liberty.
"If you do not exclude them, in less than 200 years our descendants will be working in the fields to furnish them substance, while they will be in the counting houses rubbing their hands. I warn you, gentlemen, if you do not exclude the Jews for all time, your children will curse you in your graves. Jews, gentlemen, are Asiatics, let them be born where they will or how many generations they are away from Asia, they will never be otherwise. Their ideas do not conform to an American's, and will not even though they live among us ten generations. A leopard cannot change its spots. Jews are Asiatics, are a menace to this country if permitted entrance, and should be excluded by this Constitutional Convention."
Franklin's remarks were recorded in "Chit Chat Around the Table During Intermissions," a section of the Diary of Charles Cotesworth Pinckney of South Carolina. Pickney (1746-1825) attended the Convention as a delegate, and took down excerpts of some of the outstanding addresses and discourses, which he later published in his diary. Perhaps the best proof of the Franklin prophecy—as with any prophecy—lies in its actual fulfillment. What Benjamin Franklin foresaw as an ominous possibility in 1787 has today—a little over two hundred years later—become painful reality.

Well, with all due respect, Chuck, which isn't much as far as I can tell given your apparent unconcern for the utter sinfulness of the status quo, what your federal government is trying to do, incompetently so far I must admit, is what the health insurance companies have proved in spades they are unwilling to do. That is, set up a healthcare system that, for example, doesn't say to someone who has cancer and has lost their job because of it: "Too bad sucker, you lose in this capitalistic jungle--you can't pay, you die." That's the way it is now, Norris. Not brought to you by the federal government, but by your current health insurance carrier. Why don't you rail against that? Why don't you rail against a country, the last holdout in the western and even a good part of the eastern civilized world, that lets kids who aren't born into rich families die because they can't get healthcare beyond the too-late basics of the emergency ward? Aren't all babies the children of Jesus? Why don't we treat all kids the same when it comes to saving their health and their very lives?

Chuck, you stated in your article that it is not a partisan issue. I agree. Because people respond to our criticism along party lines, they subvert the proper responce to the question put to them. Hopefully, many are waking up and are trying to do something, perhaps too little to late knowing they are not going to be re-elected.
