France with all their diplomacy and the reputation of being the best diplomats in the world are losing control of their country. The situation is similar to that in our own country where big government and big business are so tightly entwined that they are strangling the people.

We have just begun to see the tip of Frances Iceberg of Sorrow. There will be more.

In our country people are dissatisfied with Bush War II and the Governments reaction to major disasters at home. Our government is flat broke. Although the stock market has ignored that fact, the hammer of economics always falls.

We dont have to look back too far too see the reactions to the Vietnam War. The youth of our country went into despair. They decided to live with no laws and like pigs. You couldnt find a clean rest stop in the country. Riots occurred in our cities.

All was not well.

France needs to get their act together. We need to get our act together.

Here are some things we can do for starters:

1. Stop the hemorrhaging in Washington. Raising the spending limit is not the answer. Congress needs to tighten up and stop funding worthless programs. Congress should review costly laws on the books that are no longer needed. Each member of congress should clean up his own act, reducing office and travel expenses. Governmental agencies should be asked to immediately stop hiring new people to reduce the ranks of government permanently.

2. Stop fighting with the illegal immigrants in our country. Provide a way for those who want to leave to go back home. Help them develop jobs in their homelands. Process those who want to stay so that they can become citizens. Stop infiltration across our borders. New immigrants would come in on temporary work visas only. We need to learn to defend our borders, wide as they are.

3. Raise taxes on windfall income. Executives are continually ripping off stock holders. Tax all income and bonuses over one million a year at a rate of 90% with no deductions whatsoever. On death, all assets over two million dollars are returned to the U.S. Treasury. Stockholders can have 90% of overcompensation returned by simply filling a Federal form.

If Number 3 were actually written into law, the volume would be six inches thick. No rich man would pay any taxes whatsoever.

Well, I tried!

What do you think should be done?
