According to the Constitution of the US we are not to have more than 1 House
member for every 30,000 Americans. Whether our founding fathers saw our
population growing from 3,929,000 people in 1790 to nearly309 million in 2010 or not
I don’t know. One thing is for sure if we are to have the same amount of representation
that we had in 1790 of 1 rep for approx every37, 000 Americans, we the people in order to form a more perfect union will have to stand up to make it happen. We would need approximately 8335 members in the house to have the same amount of Representation as Americans had in 1790. In 2010 according to the US census report we have 1 house member for approx every 700,000 Americans, but the cost of that would exceed $374m a year, cause the average house members salary not including their expense account is $45,000 all the way to $200,000 a year. I’m not saying we should have more house reps, but as a nation we should decide that together, not let 435 members of the house, and decide for all of us.
Las Vegas, N.V. had a case where a supermarket refused to pay overtime to 119 employees. It was decided in court the business must pay nearly $170,000 in overtime pay. Could you imagine what would be owed to the truck drivers in this country? A 60 hour week 20 hours each 20 million drivers, though we all don’t get paid the same, let’s just say for the sake of argument company and owner operator make .50 cpm that would be .25 cpm x 20hrs or 1200 miles overtime cause we already got the rest, that would be $300 per truck per week or $6 billion per week, I have been driving for 15 yrs or 780 weeks = $234,000 before taxes. W.Y. 2 square miles of our GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK was recently sold to our federal government for $107 m. I don’t remember being asked. This is our land us Americans not for one state to sell to another or to a Government body; R.I. $1 million to refurbish a rundown part of a statehouse which is 107 years old. A.L. the state retirement system invested $520 million into a Wise Alloys plant to allow it to grow. They are supposed to pay it back at 9% interest; N.H. $2.3 m for compressed natural gas trash trucks; S.C. $12 m for eroding beaches 5 years ago now they want another $8 million. TN $10 m in tax breaks from the city and the county for Amazon to build 2 DCs costing $139 m creating 1400 jobs. Gross profits for 2010 were $5.42 B for the 1st 3 quarters with one to go. Circuit City did a similar thing in a town near me, and now they are out of business. Why should we pick up the tax for these corporations, when they can obviously afford it? NJ A homeowner tries to sell his house only to have the mayor of the town block the sell, because the people who want to buy the property want to turn it into open space, by tearing down the house. The mayor is worried that others in town will want to do the same and this 1 house sold and torn down will cost the city $7000 a yr in tax loss.
Since 2006 our US border Patrol has had a 41% increase or 309 more incursions from 752 in
2006 to 1061 in 2010. We spent $50 B on foreign aid to countries around the world, for their security and whatever else they need. While our government budgeted a measly $5.77 B on US border security or ICE. Take a little time to talk to some people to find out how they feel, I have and the results that I have come up with are about 9 out 10 people think we as a nation should have a 1 voice 1 vote form of government, after all isn’t it our government who is always saying that our founding fathers could never have envisioned this country being what it is today.
I mean we can pick up a phone a talk around the world; we can talk to a man in space, if we would have had that ability in 1787 when the final constitutional convention was held, do you think it would have read differently, even if it were not written any differently, would you have wanted it written differently, I know I would have I am personally tired of letting a handful of people decide everything for me. If you like what is written here and want to spread the word taking this letter to the printer and print as many as you can afford, and hand them out as I did.
