Warren Buffett Speaks Out
Warren Buffett
I have added a few comments enclosed in [ brackets. ]
"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.
The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.
I am asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
Congressional Reform Act of 2019
- 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office. [ This includes the president. It’s a JOB not a career. ]
- 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. [ The Don’t Touch Rule that prevents the president from stealing American’s Social Security money goes back into effect. ]
- 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 are void effective 7/1/19. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen 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.
[ Congress employees and their families are BANNED from using Insider Trading practices to enrich themselves. ]
[ All Congress and the president must have their financial records opened and regularly inspected to be sure money is not being placed into secret accounts in this or other countries. Working for the government is a JOB not a Get Rich Quick Scheme! ]
[ Only Congress members and other government workers with valid ID badges may enter the workplace. All lobbyists are banned from all government workplaces. ]
If each person
contacts a minimum of twenty people
then it will only take three days
for most people (in the U.S.)
to receive the message.
It Is Time
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!
Pass it on.
