Dear John Stossel, Folks think that 'responsibilities belongs to everyone but them', including politicians and this is why America is facing bankruptcy! This "I can lie and get by" used by 75% of people today seems to make it OK as long as they don't get caught! Look at National Education and public schools today! Look at social and welfare programs that produce more illegitimates! Take a good look at the politicians that created this disaster and now they want to finish banrupting America by pulling more 'wool over Taxpayers' eyes' in the hope that all Americans are 'entitled' to health insurance, along with the handouts of social and welfare programs! Way back when, 'if you didn't work, you didn't eat, let alone have illegitimates by the dozens expecting this to be more Taxpayers' responsibilities!' ‘Pair ready to tackle health care overhaul', states Ms. Sebelius and Ms. DeParle! Why haven't they already ‘overhauled' this system! They've been around the DC block a time or two! Taxpayers say ‘thanks, but no thanks!' These seasoned politicians know it won't work. They have too much time on their hands. It's obvious this led Freddie, Fannie, HUD, AIG, Automakers, and anyone else taking Taxpayers' money, for endless money pits, into bankruptcy! It's time to go back to the ‘pay as you go' for doctors and hospitals! ‘Fair Tax', to include property, should be top priority! Everyone must pay their share, including politicians! Otherwise, it's ‘Discrimination against Taxpayers!' Politicians salaries and retirements should be cut to $12,000.00 yearly! If this isn't acceptable, then Taxpayers will sell them a one-way ticket to the foreign country they sold America to, take assets to pay the trillions they've borrowed without Taxpayers' consent! After bankrupting America, these are the only options; unless, of course, they prefer to be sent to Guantanamoas some politicians are no better than the ones sitting in prisons; therefore, along with rest of killers, rapists, and thieves, of all races, this is where they need to be! “Putting the cart before the horse”! When politicians took over, the Moonshiners' stills, for the revenue of course (which, of course, became the responsibility of the Taxpayers), started bottling, selling the booze, locking you up for drinking it, and furnishing a tax-paid attorney, clothes, medicine, and food. Exorbitant costs and an endless money pit for Taxpayers, wouldn't you say? Politicians, now, want to build infrastructures without having textile and manufacturing jobs in America! Another ‘Cart before the horse' hair-brained scheme! Taxpayers want Obama to live up to his stated ‘he'd go over line by line and eliminate the endless money pits!' Well, what's he waiting for?

I didn't know you had it in you, John. Great article! Unfortunately, it may contain too much common sense for our political leaders. Have you considered running for Senate? We need to replace a few of them - and soon.
