By JohnnyAngel - Feb 26th, 2008 at 7:46 pm EST Well this is a problem, that many in Washington, do not want to tackle, especially right now, prior to the elections. Most have stated that they should be sent home, rounded up, which is impossible to do. It is impossible to even round up the estimated Two Million who are breaking the law, that's right criminals, including gang members. They have also suggested they they "get to the back of the Line", for those who wish to become citizen. well I have what I think is a much better, logical, more rational solution to this problem... Ok people, we cannot in any way shape or form, round up all the estimated 15 to 20 Million Illegal aliens in this country, not all are from Mexico either. We can't even round up the estimated 2 million of those illegal aliens that are doing illegal things everyday. Let's forget about that ridiculous notion, that the Illegals have to get to the 'back of the line', as somea suggested, and where is this line to start? If the line ran from Los angeles Ca., all the way to N.Y. city, it would not be long enough. What we should do is impart some logic and common sense into the solution to this problem. First off since we cannot in any way round them up, or send them to the back of the line; we need to speed up the process of allowing, all aliens to become U.S. Citizens in a period of 2 yrs, not 10, as it is now. This country has spent 100's of Millions of dollars on them, and not got a penny back from them, what a waste. Here is How I believe it can be implemented. We start a campaign by the government running television and radio ads. Telling all illegal immigrants that we are allowing all of them to become citizens. In addition they need to sign up for the Nat'L Health Care Plan, as well as legitimate Social Security Cards, and legal driving license. These ads will run in both English and Spanish, concentrating in high density areas, but covering the entire country. these should be run as public service announcements, during the day but especially during high driving time, as well as prime time on television. Yes I know this is a form of amnesty, but let's face it what else can be done; fine them $5000 as some have suggested, or impose other restrictions on them, all absurd ideas. We need to get them into the SYSTEM, as quickly as possible, by so doing, we can find out a lot about them, and other important information. They are told this is absolutely necessary, to enroll their children in schools, to receive any kind of health care, and to work legally in this country; and enforce these rules. Ok so any S.S. office, School, Hospital, can have special areas set up for these people to register. We cna also set up these sign-ins, in community centers, and other neighborhood facilities already in exisitance, to expedite these proceedings. We make it clear in the announcements, which will include clear signs in all public places;schools, hospitals, libraries, court houses etc. what is involved, the benefits, and the fact that we will not prosecute anyone who is signing up, or deport them, while going through this process. Now during the interview of these people, we gather information, we find out names of all members of that household, where they are working, how much they are making, where their children currently go to school, their addresses of where they live, and other pertinant information. Now we know a lot more about them, and can use the information in various ways. For example, where they work, we can now go to these places and Heavily Fine them for hiring Illegal aliens, we may also be able to Heavily Fine them for not paying the legal minimum wage. A lot of illegals work in fine homes, or in fine hotes, and restaurants, besides the fields, and factories and other places of business. Ok the fines we levy are very stiff, we use this money to offset the costs of getting these illegal aliens into the System. I believe that the Fines will be in the Multi Millions. Ok if say Jose Gonzalas works, his wife works, as well as his brother and cousin, we get all this information down, now we know a lot more about jose, as well as his relatives. If he does not work, we want to know how he is living, where does the money come from that he lives on... these answers may lead us to find out, the illegals who are doing illegal things to earn money; these individuals will either be deported or arrested. Ok we now know all about our example: Jose Gonzalas, we know where he works illegally, that he is not being paid at least min. wages, maybe is even being forced to do more than he should, by threats of deportation. We right these situations for him, and his family, as well as making sure, those that have broken the law, against hiring illegals, or not paying themin. wage etc. will pay for their crimes. This makes Jose happy, he keeps his job though from this point on. the Ones who hire these illegals will be Heavily fined, and serverely warned against commiting this crime again. Jose remains on the job, he is not fired, after coming into the System, because now he has Temporary Legal Status,(rights are somewhat restricted-can't vote for exapmle) as long as he follows the rules, and does what is needed to become a U.S. Citizen within the 2 year period, which includes learning English (which by the way, has always been the case for all those immigrants over the yrs. except it seems since the 60's) English will be made the Official language of the U.S., as it should be. This allowing the spanish language to dominate the schools, the workplace, and other public facilities will end. No more will we call someplace, and be asked if we want to speak on English.... this is the U.S. of America, not South America. We will slowly reverse the trend that has been allowe to divide this country, by speaking both languages equally, and in some cases more so in Spanish. This is just devisive to this Country; all immigrants who came to this Country, knew, understood, and were proud to learn English, the language of their new adopted country, as it should be now. They can still speak whatever other language they want to, in their homes and in their neighborhoods, if they so choose; but out in the 'world', they will speak English. Now we have Jose and his wife, and children, in the system. He will be making at least minimum wages, and will have a legitimate S.S. card; he can now start paying F.I.C.A. and other taxes... (oh my, you mean, they will actually start paying into the System, no more totally Free ride-yes Virginia, that is true-oh my). Ok they will have to become American Citizens within 2 yrs, if not, they will be deported. This along with all the benefits, including a Temporary Nat'l Health Care card, will be incentive for them to do so. A note here: the Temp. Nat'l Health Care card, will entitle them to basic health care, not elective surgery of any kind. Ok Jose and his entire family are in the System, and they are on the road to becoming legal citizens, and he can help pass the word along, how good this is. Now let's get to Boder Security, we have tons of Electronic Security devices that can be used along the border to enhance the job of the border patrol. Now if we did not have almost all our National Guard Units over in Iraq, I would also have many of them on border duty too. Now this notion of spending over 900 million dollars to build a partial fence on the border, is another big waste of money. Think about it for a moment, please. Any kind of fence, can be dug under, climbed over, or cut through, and it will be. What I propose is a heck of a lot cheaper and much more effective, to be used in conjunction with electronic surveilance equiptment, as well as border patrol and the Nat'l guard. We did a trench, this trench will be 50 feet wide, and 25 feet deep, the dirt that is taken out of that trench is piled up on the Northern side of the trench. Ok now the illegals have a giant trench to get past, they cannot climb over it, dig under it, nor cut it; they can't use a rope to get over it, or any kind of ladder, heck they can't even try to cross it with a vehicle, since that vehicle will run right into the giant dirt pile on the other side of the trench. I estimate the height of the dirt pile to be at least 35 feet high. Now think of it, the cost will be about 2/3s less, than a fence, it will stop them cold. ok you say, they have gotten past the trench, andd have climbed the dirt hill, what will stop them now? Well my fellow Americans, that is simple, we have electronic sensors imbedded in and around the trench, which will sound off silently there, but loudly back at the border patrol base. From this point, they can send units there, or a helicopter, to drive them back or impound them for return to Mexico, immediately. When the trench and the dirt pile are wet from rains, it will be even harder to try to get past. So we have a Natural barrier and mother nature will help keep the illegals out. Well I think I have addressed this problem and come up with a viable solution to it.. It would be absolutely absurd to do anything else, and to pass such laws, to try and deport all of them and then physically do so, would be not only impossible, but totally cost prohibitive. Well once again, I am signing off, have a great week, and please get the word out, so Obama, can actually have Plans and Solutions , not just ideas. He will need them during his continuing battles with Hillary, as well as John McCain. I hope he will at least read these solutions and maybe realize how good they are, and use them to Win. I bid you farewell for now, have a great week, and God Bless America John M. Roberts a.k.a. the Lone Wolf..

We Did It Then, Why Can't We do It Again?

I have been watching the Democratic Presidential Debates, and I cannot figure out why it is so hard for even these candidates to come up with real answers and solutions to the problems facing America. It seems that all of them still don't want to really commit themselves, to givig us the answers to real questions, like, how to fix the healthcare crisis in this country, or the totally outdated Income Tax System, or the Irag war. Before I go on with my answers to these and other problems, let me take a moment to digress a bit... I am a 61 yr. old man, who remembers what it was like say back in the 60's and 70's. Bavk then just as it was in the 50's too, the average household only had one bread winner.... Back in the 60's and 70's most people owned a home, had a car, maybe two, or a small boat, had all the appliances, and a big t.v., or two. Mom was home to get the kids off to school, or to watch them, if they did not go to school yet. She was there to give them guidance, to make sure they were safe, and usually prepared supper for all. the husband, the breadwinner, would come home, and they would sit around the table, and have supper together, then usually would relax watching nice family shows, or maybe go out play some ball, or something similar.... Where have those days gone, and why? Back then, this country and the poeple in it, made all the things we needed and wanted. We manufactured, all the appliances, all the cars, all the clothes, all the shoes, all the toys, all of the things we allowed the companies to ship overseas, and the reason for this, I do not understand. We were told, it got to be too expensive, well we did it for over 190 yrs, just fine, we made all the stuff, and we could afford it to, and most of us, were doing just fine.... Oh occasionally, if we really wanted something quite expensive, like a new car, or a pool or something like that, dad would have to get a 2nd part-time job, for a while, or mom would get one.... but we all lived quite well, for middle Americans. Those days have gone, the way of most of the things we grew up with and learned... I remember myself for example, at the age of 20, buying my first brand new car, and paying cash for it, yes rathrer unusual, but I did it... The cost for this brand new 1967 Chevelle Malibu super sport with a 350 engine was only $3300 that included taxes . Now that same vehicle costs about 8 to 10 times that much.....and yet the minimum wage had only gone up about 3 times from back then.....Why is that? I think the answer is contained in one word....Greed. The greed of the American companies to get more profit out of their products. Except for the Automobile companies, which allowed their workers to be making far too much money for what they did, and also gave them fantastic benefits.....and not keeping up with the times, and making vehicles that could really compete with the imports, that were coming into this country, back in the 70's and 80's; well that was sheer stupidity. There is no excuse for what has happened to the rest of the Industry, and manufacturing that this country use to have, whick made better products, and reasonabley priced, that most of us could afford.....We stood by and allowed the big shots at the top of these companies to real fantastic profits, at the expense of the American worker, and we are all still paying for that today. Look at the airlines, gone is Pan American, the founding airline, gone is TWA, and others, why, there was no need for that, but poor management, and greed. Look what they did at American Airlines, and others, they gave wage cuts, to them, stole their benefits, and yet the one at the top get plenty of the cream anyway.. This is true throughout the business world, whether it is a profit or non profit business, the workers do not get a fair share, yet the guys at the top, make fantastic salaries, and get even more fantastic bonuses.....why is that?

Let's Get Rid Of the Old Income Tax System-Replace It With One That Is Fair For All

The Broken, Old World Income Tax System--How it Needs to Be Changed for the Majority-the other 85%Hi there everyone, the Lone Wolf here again, thought I would tackle the Federal Income Tax System, which favors the rich, and makes the working poor, pay too much. I have a system, which will speed the system up by at least 1000 percent, it will be environmentally friendly, will make it so easy for anyone to fill out their Income Tax form. That's right, I said Form, one, just one for everyone, one form, one page. think how simple it would be for anyone to fill out their taxes, everyone no matter what they make, would use the same form. So you are wondering, how will this form work for everyone; it allows only one kind of deduction, that is for members of the family. That is it, list your Total Income, now list your family members as deductions, and that is it; subtract the difference, then pay your taxes, which now will be on a graduating scale, based on total Income. This total income will include any renumerations given to that wage earner, for the rich folks,that would include stock options, boats, vacations, vacation homes etc. etc. Everything they are given, will be given a monetary value, and they will pay taxes on these too. Now you are asking what kind of Federal Income Tax Plan would make it so that the working poor, pay less, and the Rich pay a lot more, especially compared to what they are paying now. The plan I have in mind, would be a Flat Tax Plan, with a graduating scale depending on how much one makes. It would work like this.... The wage earners who make less than $100,000 a year would pay a Flat Tax of 10%, of their total Wages, that is the Gross. For example, a family making $45,000 would deduct for family members, say 4, at what $750 each, that would be a deduction of $3000, now deduct this from the $45,000, and taxes for this family would be $4200. The average family now is paying about 22 percent of their income, this would be $9900 before deductions; in the vast majority of cases, this would mean a reduction in taxes of at least 45%. Now for the Second step up.. those making $100.000 to $250,000 would pay 15 percent of their total Gross Income, all taxes are based on Gross,minus only the deduction for family members. The Third step now goes from $250,000 to $100,000,000 (that's One Million dollars), those in this catagory, will be paying 20 percent of their Gross, again deducting only for family members, no other deductions allowed... The final Stage, would be the last one, in this one all making over One Million Gross, this includes a lot of those big shot CEO's, and your sports stars, as well as movie stars, and big singing stars. They will pay 25 percent of their Gross Income. I know, they will have to give up one of their 3 homes, or maybe can't buy that bigger boat, or can't afford that $3000 a day hotels, or some other fineries...poor them. If you make Millions, then you can afford to pay a lot more, finally they will paying their Fair Share. They have been getting away with murder for too many years, now it is time to pay what they should really be paying. They make their big bucks off the back of the workers, most of them in the under the $100,000 catagory.. This new Tax System, will save thousands of Trees, we need a lot them. It will save thousands of hours of needless time, preparing those taxes. It will at the minimum, a savings of at least 10 Billion dollars, in costs associated with checking them, in Washington, D.C.; money that can be used for much better things, like social programs that have been cut, or eliminated. This money can also be used to bring down the deficit, or to replenish the depleted Social Security Fund. Now the loophole, that a lot of the rich will look for, will be closed, that is turning their Personal family into a Corporation, trying to avoid paying their fair share. Those that have not had such a thing in place for a least a year prior to the date of this new Tax System, will be out of luck; they will not be able to try and hide, by starting one now. There will be no other options, they will pay according to their Gross Income, and that is that. This new Tax System, will put enough money in the coffers, that there will be a Balanced Budget, and the Deficit will be gone, within two years, as well as more than enough money to Get the Social Security System back in the black till at least 2050. There will also be enough money to institute all needed social programs, for the poor, and the disadvantaged, Veterans, as well as the older population. In Addition, they need to change the cutoff point of $97,500 for those putting money into the Soc. Sec. System; all those making more, should continue paying into this system for the good of the general population, based only on how much money they make, with no cut-off point. Well folks, this will solve all the money problems, and get rid of the giant deficit that Georgie has left us, as well as finally making sure, that the Rich, really pay their Fair Share of the Federal Income Taxes. I think this same system, should be used in each and every state, for the State Income Taxes. Well that is it for me, John Roberts has given his solution to this problem too. a.k.a. the Lone Wolf
