GOP ready to make 'Pledge to America'

Taxes kill jobs? Funny. Last time I checked, the US Government was the largest employer in the country. Where do they think the money comes from for those paychecks??

GOP ready to open a can of Pledge and polish their collective knobs.

Their platform is 100% boilerplate conservative agenda -- promote the interests of corporations and the ultra-wealthy, appease the intolerance of the religious right, and undermine the progress made toward improving the health and welfare of the middle and lower classes.

99.9% of all legislation is written by lobbyists per president Ford and is still true.

We should expect our representatives and senators to be cognizant of the constitution and ammendments. Why do we allow them to pass legislation that becomes 'detailed' by court actions and again, lobbyists persuading regulators, advisors, boards as to 'intent'.

I am not yet impressed by the list in this article. Tomorrow, more info will become available. Then, we need to read carefully. Is the plan and promise viable.

We do not need another amendment to balance the budget. We need an immediate, progressive war tax to raise about 4 trillion dollars in 5 or six years. We need to spend dollars on soldiers who walk, not pie in the sky missle defense systems.

The terrorists will hit us here by satchel, airplane, suicide bomber. Not by ICBM with MIRV.
