What if Bush were arrested for Treason

Oh, that grand day, Bush and cohorts are arrested for treason, murder and terrorism. It is discovered that they planned 9/11. Osama bin Laden is found hiding on the Bush ranch in Crawford Texas. Seems logical, since that's the LAST place anyone would think to look, right?

All the members of Skull and Bones Society are also under arrest, as they had all attended a meeting with bin Laden for planning yet another attack. Of course that means we're now minus a Supreme Court, half the Senate, half the Congress, a few governors, 99.9% of Bush's cabinet, and even the Saudi Royal Family and ALL the Bush family.

By constitutional rules of succession to the presidency, Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer are the only two remaining Senators not in on the plot, so they become Prez and vPrez.

I of course get the reward money for pointing the way to bin Laden, and the new Prez likes the way I think, so I get asked to be the new chief presidential advisor.

What do I advise the President to do?

Well for one thing, we are in Iraq and Afghanistan under false pretenses in the first place, so we bring all our troops home NOW. This is not cut and run, this is understanding that democracy smacks the religion over there right in the face, and trying to shove democracy down their throats is like making American Christians choose between the Bible and a democratic society. Which one is going to win? The Bible and Christianity of course.
So we pull all our troops NOW. We leave the weapons there, after all, the middle east has been at war with itself for THOUSANDS of years anyway, what made GWB think he could change anything over there is beyond me, but they're gonna need our weapons to finish each other off. Point is, we get our troops out before ONE MORE INNOCENT SOLDIER loses his/her life.

We instead take those troops and put them to work defending our ports, borders, inspecting incoming cargo, and incoming airline and ship passengers, and those sneaking across the border from Mexico.

I hope you got awhile to read, because I have A LOT of advice for the new president.

Prisons are over crowded, so all those in for life without possibility of parole, or those on death row are executed, immediately. Yes, giving the benefit of the doubt, the ones who have admitted guilt or who's guilt was caught on camera go first. The rest, can go through their appeals process so we try to eliminate executing those who may actually be innocent.
The rest of the prisoners, we take away their babysitter (the color TV hooked up to satellite) in the main lounge, and other perks they get, and we go back to prison chain gangs. Hell, everyone claims that part of the immigration problem is that we need a guest worker program to let Mexicans come in and do jobs Americans won't do. So rather than pay a Mexican illegal $12 to pick strawberries, we have prisoners do it for $0.12 an hour, and the grower can lower his market prices accordingly and still make the same % profit margin.

Here's where the corporate margin of profit is important. ANY industry that uses foreign labor, we can get prisoners to do. They can still make the same margin of profit by paying 12 cents an hour instead of dollars per hour, illegals will no longer be able to find work, and they'll bail out of America as fast as they came in. And the company can lower their prices to consumers without losing a dime.

America goes back to punishing law violators and turns a tidy profit for American business in the process, while lowering prices to consumers. A win win solution if ever there was one.

Gas prices are lowered. Since we now control the price of crude, it goes back to a manageable 1970's price. Prices at the pump are lowered to 50 cents for the most expensive grade and each grade under is 5 cents less. Let me explain the logic in that. Over the years, companies have had to raise their prices for goods, due to higher costs of not only shipping their final product, but also to cover the shipping to them of the goods used to make their product. It's a trickle down effect, but now that everyone is paying less for goods shipped to them to make a product, and they're paying less to ship it to market, they can lower their end cost to consumers and still once again, maintain the same % of profit margin. Again we have a win/win situation.

Now, since we have lost half our government in this sting operation which netted all those arrests I mentioned earlier, we all have to realize that we've got to work together to rebuild America. So we take the word greed out of the business vocabulary. We don't take out their right to turn a profit, but we DO take out their ability to shaft the public in doing it.

We demand that all out-sourcing stop. We now have the chance to once again become a nation of product producers rather than a nation that relies on foreign imports. If you don't want to stop outsourcing, you can get out of America....take your company and go, but be forewarned, you will not be able to do business with America. Bring all your jobs home, put rightful Americans back to work, or we will no longer let you do business IN or WITH America.

ALL states who DON'T have a state income tax will have one. Why? Because we're going to a flat tax. Now I'm not 100% sure what the % of tax would have to be, but I'm PRETTY SURE that if it was like 3% of every dollar earned, we'd generate enough revenue to pay off Bush's war and then some, all in 2 yrs or less. This means, every individual, AND corporation pays 3% of every dollar in tax, NO DEDUCTIONS OF ANY KIND. You make $1, 3 cents goes to government. The feds take 2 cents, the state takes 1 cent. Now, I know that my example may not be the right % figure, but you get the idea. America loses revenue by the tons, just based on deductions people and corporations are allowed to take.

English is the national language for speaking, and forms and publications, speak it and read it, or go home. Are there exceptions to this? Sure, ONE. If we go into a Mexican or Chinese or other ethnic restaurant or similar business, sure we expect to hear the flavor of that country being spoke amongst the employees. We don't mind if Mexican music is playing in the background......after all, we go to a Mexican restaurant for the food and the "flavor" (culture) of Mexico. But once outside that place, we're Americans, and if you're a Mexican citizen who came here legally, so are you, so BE American outside your business establishment. Are these racist views? Hell no! These are American views. This is about respect for the country you now call home. If you want to live here, work here, pay taxes here, enjoy American freedoms here, respect America by learning and speaking the language in public. I don't care what you speak at home or on the phone, just don't force anyone else to listen to it. Other countries, I know it sounds like I'm picking on Mexico, but I'm not really, have no business forms or signs in English. If you don't know how to speak and read the language of that country, or have a translator handy, you're screwed. It should be that way here as well.

American government is no longer going to babysit your kids. Police your own kids as to what they watch on TV, what video games they play, what songs they listen to and what they say and do online. Sure, we'll still be there to catch predators if they try to meet your kid, but we're not going to allow stings like Dateline to prevail. Punish your kids as you see fit, just don't abuse them. You will no longer go to jail for taking a switch to them. Smacking a kid didn't fuck up my generation, nor will it yours. We turned out OK, and we got some good disciplining.

Standards for teachers will improve. If you're one of those teachers who's been shown on "The Tonight Shows Jay Walking" segment, and you can't identify pictures of world leaders or know basic geography or basic science or math, we don't want you teaching our kids. Pick a new line of work please.

No more yellow journalism during campaigns. Focus on the issues not the personalities.

No more touch screen voting without a paper trail and proper election security.



More to come...............
