| Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.” - President Dwight D. Eisenhower, - 1952 in a Letter to his brother - |

| How Corporations Pay More for Lobbyists Than in Taxes: KAUKAUNA, WI., Dec. 13, from the office of the General Chairman--Here is another episode of “the tail wagging the dog” or in other words the 1% vs the 99%. Please pour yourself another cup o’ java and sit back and read the attachment concerning the top 30 companies lobbying Washington versus what they actually pay in taxes. It is astonishing and makes for a very compelling argument as to who is actually running the country. Couple that with the recent changes to the political donations scams and you have a recipe for a national disaster (or more of a one) when it comes to the middle class. Finally, this one article provides even more insight as to why we are now entertaining the tentative agreement and healthcare changes and why organized labor, in general, is constantly fighting an uphill battle.

| Update from BLET Tax Compliance Department CLEVELAND, Jan. 11, from the BLE&T Web Site--I. R. S. regulations require the BLET National Division to inform its members that a certain portion of your National Division dues are not tax deductible as a miscellaneous itemized deduction on your personal tax returns. According to the National Secretary-Treasurer’s office, the portion of the National Division dues that is not subject to deduction as an Itemized Deduction on a Form 1040 tax return is 13.56 percent for 2011. In other words, 86.44 percent of your BLET National Division dues are tax deductible. The 13.56 percent reflects expenses associated with political lobbying efforts by the BLET, which are not tax deductible. |
| THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS! 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congressmen/women made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work! |
