John,Your entire New Constitution is unenforcible "social engineering." Neither you nor anyone else will ever be able to mandate "fair play." If it were possible, everyone would obey speed limits. No one would cut someone else off in traffic. I could go on, but even your simple brain should be able to grasp the concept.
Socialism has been equated with democracy for at least 100 years. "The tendency of the present socialism is more and more to ally itself with the most advanced democracy." [Encyclopedia Britannica, circa 1913]

Dear J. Ashley: Either you can't read (likely) or you have no earthly idea what socialism and communism are. When I mandate in my New Constitution that "Fair play and democracy shall have supremacy in the USA", both socialism and communism are forever outlawed from consideration by government! Somehow, you got it in your very small head that 'fairness' can only mean that everyone gets identical pieces of the pie. *** But THAT would involve STEALING from the rich to give to the lazy, good-for-nothing, opportunistic "poor". Thus, your notion of "fairness" isn't fair, nor is it a democracy—because the power is put into the hands of the "winning" majority, rather than being allocated to all the people (on demand) on EACH and EVERY issue! My document requires 60% of "the people" to agree before any direct vote of the people can have the force of law. And every previous law that passed by fewer that 55% (probationary) is struck down. That means that Obama Care doesn't meet the vote requirement and would be struck down. But Obama Care would have already been barred from consideration for being "Social Engineering" and an attempt to change the USA into a socialist-communist nation. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and about 75% of the leftist Democrats who proposed such things would already have been HANGED for treason! Jonathan, trust me that NO GROUP will have the power to sway the House (There will be no more unconstitutional "Senate".) on anything. Power is vested in the individuals! Group lobbying for anything becomes a felony. I realize that this is tough-love for the government. But its the only way to FORCE decisions to be for the good of the country, rather than… what most increases the chances career politicians can keep getting elected. — John A.

On 05/11/2011 05:18 PM, NoEinstein wrote:Dear Jonathan: No! Only "schemes" that have the strings being pulled by government would be socialist. My New Constitution includes these and other protections to require "fairness" (not... equality) from businesses: "Businesses and professions shall be fair to their employees and to their customers. The wages, benefits and perks, as well as the charges that are made for goods and services, shall not be discriminatory nor exploitive of any person, group nor class, nor shall such be overly influenced by the profit motive of those who perform no actual work on an ongoing basis. Fair and honest business practices require that management be forthright with employees and customers without coercion." And... "Only laws, rules, regulations and procedures that are in the best interest of the People and the world environment shall be passed, enacted or enforced, and no business contrary to such shall be allowed to prosper." Note: It is definitely in the best interest of the people to be treated fairly by employers. If an employee isn't treated fairly, he or she can sue for damages in civil court. A business, such as a tobacco company, which sells unfiltered cigarettes in foreign countries isn't acting in the best interest of the people (of the world), and thus can be fined until the bad practices stop. No business can mistreat people badly, anywhere, and have the USA just look the other way! � John A.

How do you propose to accomplish such fairness?

Executive compensation, that has sometimes been at the expense of the workers cranking out the products, should be based on what is fair, not just who the supposed leaders of the corporations are. Wal-Mart started out giving financial incentives to the managers of the stores, until the wife of the founder insisted that workers would do a better job, and stay on those jobs longer if there was a profit sharing plan. A black janitor retired after forty or so years with the company and had several million dollars in the bank. That sort of fairness doesn't sound like socialism, now, does it. I can't speak for Donald Trump, but in order to get quality labor for building quality real estate properties�as he knows so well how to do� the compensation needs to be tops. In the long run, everyone in the employment hierarchy will benefit when fairness reigns for those at the bottom or at the top. � John A. Armistead � Patriot.

From a 2009 interview about whether there should be executive pay limits: Larry King: Is Obama right or wrong to go after these executives with salary caps? Donald Trump: Well, I think he's absolutely right. Billions of dollars is being given to banks and others. You know, once you start using taxpayer money, it's a whole new game. So I absolutely think he's right. That's socialism Einstein.

Every one of those should be required to answer this question: �Is it FAIR to have hugely expensive primaries spread over months, with the most �power� going to the voters in the corn state of� Iowa? Answer: Hell NO! Nor is it FAIR to allow political parties to have any say-so, whatsoever, regarding who the contenders can be, and how the country will be run once the �winning party� has been decided. Rep. Ron Paul, that sunken-cheek retread from the 2008 election, has already raised a million dollars�probably earmarked for brown-nosing the farmers of Iowa for a chance to become President. Paul�s early polling lead among the announced candidates has him positioned much as he was four years ago. The same anti-war, less-government crowd who filled his coffers with hard cash, must still be impressed by his unwavering positions on most issues. When Paul withdrew in 2008, he said, �Elections are over quickly. Winning a revolution will take a bit longer.� But instead of leading a revolution, Paul settled back into business as usual in our broken and corrupt, party-dominated government. Anyone so corrupted could never lead this country in the new direction needed. Judge Andrew Napolitano, filling in for a flagging Glenn Beck, asked a guest this question: �Who among the possible Republican presidential candidates do you think Barack Obama would LEAST like to run against?� The answer to that question isn�t as important as the fact Napolitano is so matter-of-fact that Barack Obama will still be in office, let alone be a candidate for President in 2012. My above average computer graphics experience leads me to conclude that both of Obama�s purported birth certificates are bogus. *** In a very public and straightforward way, the US Secret Service should conduct a definitive investigation of all �birther� issues, lest they continue to �protect� a scoundrel who isn�t a bona fide President of the USA. Napolitano shows his naivet� by recommending we vote for candidates desiring smaller, lower cost Government who will support� the Constitution. Over the decades, the Constitution has been ritually praised. But that document was so WEAK that our government evolved away from being the Representative Republic the Founding Fathers surely wanted to mandate. My New Constitution is strength (control over what goes on in Washington) made manifest! Donald Trump is being �tagged� a �birther� and a �racist� by Mort Zuckerman�s NY news paper. Liberals call it a conspiracy that anyone would wish to apply the same level of technical facility to analyzing two questionable birth certificates, as was used to assess the Shroud of Turin, or the remains of King Tut. The long form birth certificate, which Obama released to the press, was a *.PDF file, not a photocopy of an original. That file was clearly LAYERS of PDF files placed one over the other to form a composite, counterfeit certificate. Detractors of scientific reason, such as my own and the hundreds of others like me, like to state that �The officials of the State of Hawaii have confirmed that the birth certificate is real.� Great! (Gag, gag.) Objective, concerned Americans are expected to defer to the word of officials in perhaps THE most liberal state in the union. And only one corrupt official would be needed to unbind and stitch-in a bogus certificate. I found it most interesting that a supposed girlfriend of the daughter of the Dr. Sinclair, who purportedly delivered Obama, recalled, *** after half a century *** a dinner conversation like this: �What interesting things have happened to you this week, Dr.� �Oh, I gave birth to a kid named Barack Hussein Obama. Isn�t that a pretty name! His mother is named Stanley, like I�m searching in my family genealogy.� That girlfriend then went on to say that she was �the last surviving person who remembers Obama�s birth.� Yeah, right. And that aunt of Obama who was at his birth in Kenya, must have had a� flawed memory. And wasn�t a Kenya birth certificate shown to be fake? Or� was a fake birth certificate PLANTED to discredit those seeking the truth? *** Donald Trump is�in my well-considered opinion�the most qualified person to be President. I view his being a government outsider as a 200% advantage, because, as has been the case with Ron Paul, the corruption of the rituals of Washington runs deep for those who�ve been there too long. Trump commented that his running as an independent might actually help Obama by drawing votes from the� Republican candidate. But know this, Mr. Trump: When Obama�s birth certificates and etc. are recognized as being fake, no candidate needs to fear helping Obama win. Political parties are UNCONSTITUTIONAL under the present Constitution. So, all primaries and runoffs should rightfully be held on the dates spelled out in my New Constitution: �The 3rd Tuesday in July, voters of all the states and territories shall reduce the field of presidential candidates to 8, with the incumbent Pres.& VP to be included in such number, if applicable. The 3rd Tuesday in October, voters shall reduce the field to four, with the incumbent Pres. and VP not automatically included. The 1st Tuesday in November, each voter selects their 1st& 2nd choices�points 4 and 3 respectively. The... read more »
