I MUST ADD TO THE POINT THAT GETTNG ELECTED AND RE-ELECTED FOR MOST CONGRESSMEN DUE TO GERRYMANDERED DISTRICKS IS NOW LESS OF A CONCERN THAN PUTTING THIER SOCIALIST AGENDA IN PLACE AN IN EFFECT.

I couldn't agree more with your column concerning politicians' strategy for keeping their jobs. Isn't it time for taxpayers to demand term-limits for the Senate and the House?! If a politician knew he/she could serve only eight years, the focus might be more beneficial to taxpayers. How can we promote term-limits? Would it be a state referendum? Please feature this idea in your column. I believe that all honest taxpayers would support term-llimits for Congress.

Dear Thomas Sowell, Good Article! Latest article (11-29-09), NC Politicians on "Passage of Healthcare Reform and I'm quoting "it's been almost 100 years, since we first began talking about how to get to quality and affordable healthcare for all Americas. It's time we arrived!" REALLY! Since this 'healthcare rhetoric' has been around for 100 years, this has meant 'JOB SECURITY' for these corrupt and greedy ticks, so I guess Taxpayers will be hearing about healthcare for another 100 years, won't they, since politicians have bankrupted America, sold our jobs to foreign countries, there won't be any money to pay for their lavish lifestyle! But, then of course, politicians haven't thought about this, as long as the insurance and drug companies (& what few companies are left) continue supplying them with billions, they think they're on solid soil! Taxpayers feel it's time to 'TAKE AMERICA BACK!'
‘Lying' supposedly will get politicians impeached , then why hasn't ninety-five percent of
politicians been impeached? Lets' sell them a one-way ticket to Gitmo, take all their assets to pay off the
trillions they've borrowed without Taxpayers consent? Six decades later and America is bankrupt
with these ‘corrupt, greedy, lying bunch of ‘blood-sucking ticks', still in office, still drawing big
salaries and retirements, working on the same ‘programs/ healthcare' for years. They have nothing
better to do to justify the bigs bucks they steal from Taxpayers, as it's obvious none of them know
what they're doing nor care. This is why their favorite saying is “I'll check on this and get back to
you!” This brings another thought to Taxpayers minds, if the Insurance, Drug companies,
Hospitals, and Medical professionals stop ‘paying the politicians to run for office, maybe the
‘Politicians License to Steal' will come to a screeching halt!

Politicians take billions from insurance, drug companies, healthcare professionals and what few
businesses are left. This is why Taxpayers can't afford insurance, hospitals, let alone medications.
Passing of Healthcare is another POWER GRAB and will finish bankrupting America. Fraud and
bankrupting of social security, medicare and medicaid should tells folks that government run
programs have never worked for Taxpayers, just for Politicians!

Insurance and Drug companies should give their insured, that's paid them big bucks for years, all
their money back. Folks, the Taxpayer that's paid $200.00 to $750.00 monthly, would be entitled to
several million for each person. Just think, we wouldn't need them at all! What fools we've been
letting these ‘blood-sucking ticks' tell us that ‘Taxpayers have to spread the wealth around!'
Where is politicians ‘wealth they're spreading around?'

Why would politicians want to spend billions of dollars taken from insurance, drug, hospitals and
the small business owners, to run for an office that pays $200,000.00+-?
