As of June 6, 2007, the last time the state websites were checked, 3 sites were not working. If a site is not working wait a few days and try again.

We started by ranking the State websites. This did not work. Too many sites were abysmally poor. They looked nice, but try to find something on the site. It was alright to be attractive, such as Colorado's, but they forgot to put anything of value into the site until too many steps into the site. One of the things that will give a site a very low mark is assuming that we know where something is in the hierarchy of government. An example can be Florida, where do they deem a department is located? If you do not know, every link has to be opened until the subject is found. Poor design.

Taxes
Is it time to repeal the 16th Amendment?
If we want to clean up the tax problem, repeal the 16th Amendment. Mandate that no taxes,
fines, levies, assessments, fees, or leans may be issued by the Federal Government against any United States Citizen or United States Company. It will again force an apportioned tax bill assessed to each State.

Each State would be responsible for raising these funds. Any Federal court action would have to be returned to the State for fines and the collection of fines. It would also force Congress to defend the tax bill in each state. If the elected official fails to do so, their re-election is in jeopardy. Elected officials will become more responsive to the will of the people.

A recent poll indicated that 97% of the people feel that it is time to make changes in government. This is the simplest and easiest step. This would be a bi-partisan across ideology approach to making government again responsive to the people. Our Foundng Fathers were very intelligent with dividing the power. Allowing the 16th Ammendment gave almost total power to the Federal Government.

Fair Tax
Always double and triple check anything the government says is fair; anything. In this case it is a National Sales Tax. What is so surprising is that the Conservatives are calling for this tax and not the Liberals. It's your call if you agree or not. But, it is a progressive tax. It hurts the middle and lower income folks. It can be "adjusted in the background" with without folks knowing about it. The concept is that payroll, income, and corporate taxes, plus similar taxes would be eliminated. It is very close to the VAT tax of Europe. 23% or so national sales tax. Credits to those the government feels should have them.

Keep this in mind. It will support the Black Market for High Ticket items. There is an incentive on both sides to beat sales taxes. Prohibition did not work. A couple of decades ago New York City raised cigarette tax because the City wanted more money. They lost money because it forced folks to buy outside of NYC and also the Black Market sold for less. The Black Market bought tobacco in North Carolina and forged the cigarette stamps. The Black Market got rich. The City lost money.

Also, Michigan is funding its schools through a portion of Michigan Sales tax. Everyone is finding that it is too cyclic to be a stable income source for schools.

To be honest, Saidnews.org is indifferent about taxes if these stipulations are agreed to: 1, The elected officials have to hand a tax bill to the taxpayer. 2, The tax payer has to dig into the pocket for the tax. 3, The elected Representative (Congress) has to defend the tax bill to the voter (taxpayer.) 5. No hidden taxes. 6. No privileges or exemptions for elected officials. 7, Adjustments for the most needy.

Scroll through the FinditFast Directory for some other ideas about taxes. Taxpayers and voters should not be at the bottom of the food chain. Opportunities can be made available to help those in need.

Considerations
Considerations are discussion points that are tucked within the FinditFast Directory. They are not designed to change your mind, but rather to be a starting point for thought or discussion. In some instances, technical points of law or the Constitution are addressed. Some may say these are being high-lighted for a political agenda. This is not true. Legal procedures are in place to protect everyone. To say: "Move your thumb," is a political position (so as to stop hitting it with a hammer,) demonstrates that 1. You have an agenda. Or, 2, You have lost your objectivity.

Whatever your political leanings and philosophies, always be honest with yourself and others about your positions. If you cannot, than you may not have thought your position through, or may be changing the way you see the world.

As long as it is done with integrity, or an honest, "I don't know." You are facing the world and your Ethos, honestly. Possibly with mistakes; but, honestly. That is all any of us can hope to achieve.

The Wall of News now has current local funeral information.

Congressional Pay-raise
Congress allowed another pay raise for themselves to pass. About $4,400 a year. The June 21, 2007 Gallop poll has the rating of Congress at 14%. The Thursday, June 28, 2007 Fox News Poll has Congress at a 36% approval rating. Some things to consider. How are the questions phrased? Will we ever see the questions asked?

The Congressional system is in many ways broken. Special interest groups control Congress, not taxpayers and voters. Although, the immigration bill was stopped because most Americans did not feel that the Government could do what it promised, even if it intended to, and jammed the phone lines to voice concern. Second, most in Congress had not read the bill so discussion was a moot point. The tools are already are in place to build the wall. Illegal aliens can be rounded up and deported. At least get the dangerous ones out of the country, when we find them. Let border patrol do their job.

Stop wasting tax money. Granted one person's need is another's pork. Use proper channels of allocation and let all expenditures see the light of day. This is why a strong consideration of the repeal of the 16th Amendment is in order with apportioned tax bills given to each State.

For now, maybe it is time for the voters to decide whether these elected officials should keep their pay raise or turn it back to the treasury.

The Constitution
The Constitution of the United States is setup so that the three branches of government, Executive, Legislative, and the Judicial all have equal authority. What does this mean when the an obvious error has occurred on the Supreme Court? It means, it must take the combined actions of both the Legislature and the Executive, through procedures, to overrule the Supreme court. It is very Constitutional. Only since 1952 has the Supreme Court felt that it is the supreme decision maker of the land. If this is allowed to stand, our elected officials are nothing more than a "student government".

Exposure - Risk
It is interesting how often statistic are corrupted. The most famous example is: Air safety. The airlines are always comparing mileage in an automobile to the mileage flying. It sure sounds comforting until it is pointed that is the wrong comparison.

In this instance, exposure time is the accurate comparison. Equal time travelling. It is not; nor, it has never been mileage. Now to be fair, the airlines are safe. But, only about as safe as riding down the road in the family roadster. When the airlines tell you miles, tell them you are not interested, you want results based upon exposure. If you cannot do this, Airline Company, you are not being honest.

This fact is true for many other industry. Always look to the exposure risk or incidents to time for one of the statistical examples. Without this information you have nothing but smoke and mirrors.

Free
If you have to open your wallet it is not free. "Free. Just pay shipping and handling." This is not a free offer. You have to open your wallet. Also, why should we pay for shipping? We don't in stores and they have the over-head of running a store. Actually it is a way to get more money out of you. Check the price. Is it first a reliable source. Is it a competitive price. Is shipping and a real warranty included? If there is a problem the return should be on their nickel, not yours. Last very important question, do you really need it? Most times you don't.

Health Care Account
Personal Health Care Accounts
With the concern over healthcare costs, and the discussion by some of a National Healthcare System (some have called it Hillarycare) a sound and practical alternative solution has been suggested that should be considered. The personal Health Care Account. Such an account would work as a savings account. A combination of individual and employee contribution would be placed into this account for medical purposes. Pre-tax dollars would be used. All medical expenses would be paid out of this account. If medical cost go above an agreed upon amount, for this example $1,000, medical insurance would take care of the difference. The insurance premiums would be greatly reduced. Think of it as a $1,000 deductible on car insurance. If the amount was not used, it could be rolled over into additional years without being taxed. This would be an excellent way to plan for children's braces or those circumstances not covered by insurance. Each year contributions would be made into this account. It would be the responsibility of each account holder to make sure they are getting the best price for comparable service so as to keep as much money in the account. Systems can be set up, most often through employers where a credit card style card could be used for such purchases.

For those who have no insurance, assistance into such accounts by government agencies would keep the competitive nature of pricing in full practice while still keeping healthcare out of the government institutions. Depending upon insurance packages, it may be possible for part-time or low-salaried workers to receive the insurance package from the employer without receiving the assistance with the accounts. This would protect more individuals from catastrophic events.

The important part of this concept is each individual would be responsible to shop for the best price making prices very competitive and forcing the healthcare system to be efficient in those areas where it will not influence patient care.

This proposal should be comfortable to most Americans and to those of both parties, as well as ideologies. Healthcare is a serious problem which should be addressed responsibly and carefully.

Immigration
The opinion polls indicate that the majority of Americans wish the borders sealed with the promised wall. Two times in the past the Federal Government has promised this and has not completed the task. So it is understandable that the mandate of the people is to first seal the border. If this is done as promised, and the illegal aliens, are not given amnesty (by whatever definition) a decent process can be addressed.

If the American people can feel safe in their homes, they can open their hearts to those who wish to come to America. To most Americans it is a "Gun in the face" threat, not a race issue. Let us not distort the issue with politics. It will make the process take longer for everyone.

Monitors and TV sets
An interesting thing about the new LCD, plasma, crystal screens. They cost a whole lot less to make, a whole lot less, than the traditional CRT screens with the picture tube. Some folks will pay anything for gadget, for instance the new IPod phone $600 plus $1500 for 2 years of phone serve and the folks who make the thing said it was out-dated before it went on sale. What happened? A feeding frenzy to buy a $20 phone for $600.

Money - the true value of currency
It is difficult to figure true value of money. Whether it is dollar, pounds, or pesos. A good rough estimate can be achieved by comparing gold prices throughout history. This is not perfect. It would be better to use many standards, if possible.

But for this discussion, we will use dollars and gold. During the Colonial times, gold was worth about $10 an ounce. Gold today is about $600 an ounce. Divide $10 by $600. That means in the calculator, put in 10 then punch the divide symbol. Type in 600, or the current price of gold. Push the equal sign. The results will be the percent difference in value. Today's dollar is about 1/60 of Colonial times. This equals out to about 1 1/2 cents. In other words. All things being equal, 1.5 pennies colonial can buy about $1 today.

When figuring your investment returns, make sure you notate gold and other commodity prices when purchasing. Do your normal figuring for your return. Now figure in the price shift in the dollar. In crude terms, if you made 10% and the dollar dropped 10%, you broke even. Remember that important fact in your investments.

Nuclear Power
There is a debate about whether nuclear power is safe or not. We all know the consequences if major problems occur. The question is: "Is nuclear power safe?"

Other than a few experts, we as country do not know. But, there are some strong indications that can place our positions were they should be. As an example if you remember with the Hubble Space Telescope, NASA said it was too dangerous to repair it. Yet, they said it was safe enough to go to the space station. Well, if it is too, dangerous for one, it is too dangerous for the other. If it is safe enough for one, it is safe enough for the other. We cannot know, yet common sense will dictate beyond their words.

In the case of nuclear power, again we cannot know. So, let us ask them, if we allowed them to build the plants, but in return you step away from the Anderson Act ( an act that limits liability of the nuclear industry to a maximum $100 billion and different versions have come along.) and protect insurance company so that full property coverage of any loss of property and life is covered, so as to avoid the Katrina insurance mishap. Maybe your position of nuclear power being safe is worth considering.

But there are a couple of more things. How to safely handle nuclear waste, it is still a debate. And these and other questions that are reasonable should be heard, your voice should be heard. Stay the course as your are doing, it makes it seem that nuclear power plants are too dangerous. Let it be you (nuclear industry) cover your risk, not the folks. You will make the real concerns go away with real answers, not double talk, we'll listen. Maybe the safest place to put these plants are in the desert where the ground water will not be at risk.

Rebates
Lee Iacocca started the popular use of rebates in an effort to sell Chrysler Corporation cars and trucks back when Chrysler almost went bankrupt. It was the quickest way possible to change prices. This was an intelligent use of rebates. Today, the rebate is used make customers hop through hoops and divulge additional information about themselves.

Maybe it is time that these corporations are the ones that have to jump through the hoops. Let us just say no to rebates. If they (the manufacturer) cannot offer their products at the lowest price while still making money, we really do not need their products, do we?
