Why would anyone post an idea on Nextrev.?Our Objectives
What Is Happening To America
Put The Government Back To Work For the People
Poverty in America!!!
Why would anyone post an idea on Nextrev.?
A failing economy and a Democracy evolving into a Democratic Dictatorship in which the corporations and rich who own our representatives through campaign contributions and the Washington Lobby are reason enough. If not maybe thanks
& respect for all the brave people who fought and died so we could be the greatest nation in the world!
I’ve posted an idea which I’ll give to the American people if they can prove they are of the same caliber as all who have given us our freedom. Stop Congress from raiding Social Security!
Read the our Objectives and realize that if accepted I will give the 5% of $ saved by stopping Congress from raiding Social Security back to the people as long as it goes to Social Security. I don’t know how much our Gov. takes from Social Security but what ever it is I do know Social Security is paid by every working American with a SS # and it is said to be on the way to going broke.
I’ll go one better!
I’ll give half of the 5% of $ saved for any of the ideas accepted that I’ve posted to this date, {10-3-03} back to the American people. Of the remaining 2.5% I’ll give 2% to Poverty and Health Care! Nextrev, will accept .5 of 1% of money saved for ideas I’ve posted that are accepted.
35,000,000 Americans live in poverty, millions more live just above that and 44,000,000 have no health insurance. How many are retired living on Social Security and how many are veterans?
Read the Objectives page and realize 4 & 1/2% of taxes paid from income from 5% of money saved paid for ideas accepted goes to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the American Veterans. The remaining .5 of 1% goes to Nextrev.
The only reason I can think of not to post ideas on Nextrev. would be that our representatives don’t work for the American people. If millions of people were to back the idea to stop Congress from raiding Social Security and our
representatives won’t do it than Nextrev. has failed the test.
More importantly Democracy has failed America!
Nextrev. and the Greyghost want to know!
Does Gov. in America work for the people or do the people work for Gov.?
Has your Gov. manipulated you into sending your loved ones to die in another country for their freedom while prostituting the American taxpayer out to the tune of 36% of gross earnings here in America?
This site is a test as well as a challenge to the American people!
The world will be our judge, Democracy in America is on trial.

Our Objectives
1. Put Gov. back to work for the people! Campaign contributions and the Washington Lobby have taken representation away from the people. Get people involved in and to believe in Gov. as written in the constitution. When we put Gov. back to work for the people rather than the people working the first 2 &1/2 hours a day for Gov. and corporations who contribute to campaigns Americans will once again be free!
2. Eliminate Gov. waste. Put an end to foolish Gov. spending by accepting ideas from the people of America. Generate $ to replace taxes through ideas the American people have but go unheard because our representatives don’t listen to individuals. Bring people together with ideas on Nextrev. where they can post ideas and through the backing of each other create their own lobby. Our representatives will listen if the people realize it does work to contact your representative on Nextrev. where the people have a voice in numbers.
3. Pay Americans 5% of the money their idea saves or generates. Eliminating Gov. waste reducing taxes, put $ in the hands of Americans who then pay taxes on income earned from ideas, spending $ earned through ideas bumping the economy, and in doing so generate sales tax through spending.
4. Save Social Security, Medicare, & Medicaid! Stop Congress from raiding Social Security and contribute to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid through taxes generated from ideas posted on Nextrev.
5. Money for education and health care will be there when wasted tax dollars are shifted from foolish Gov. programs that have been on the books for years are eliminated. American taxpayers need to realize our representatives aren’t giving Social Security, Education and Health Care the attention it needs. We need to force our representatives to get the job done.
6. Turn the economy around! Allow people to keep more of their money through tax reduction when waste is eliminated as well as $ generated from ideas again giving the economy a boost through consumer spending. Consumer spending will generate sales tax.
7. Eliminating Gov. waste will reduce the time taxpayers work each day to pay taxes allowing people to buy more of what they want & deserve. Cutting the time taxpayers work each day to pay taxes will once again bump the economy & generate sales tax by putting more $ in the hands of the consumer. Cut the time a taxpayer has to work each day to pay taxes by one hour, from 2 &1/2 to 1 & 1/2 hours. At $10 an hour an individual would keep approximately $2400 a year otherwise paid in taxes.
8. Make corporations pay their share. In 1940 corporations paid approximately 50% of taxes but now only pay 13.6% of taxes while individuals pay the other 86.4%, allow Americans to keep and spend more on the economy.
9. Reduce the # Americans living in poverty! Raise minimum wage to a living wage and return America to the people who made her the greatest nation in the world. Make America something we can once again be proud of rather than a hated empire as seen through the eyes of the rest of the world!!!
Compare this to George Bush’s plan and keep the surplus we’ll have when Americans join the cause!

What Is Happening To America
The American people are afraid of their government, sounds rediculous but the things working class Americans do and say make it obvious. I talk to people every day who don't trust their government and feel they are being taken advantage of by our government and the influencial people and corporations who buy our representatives through campaign contributions as well as the lobby in Washington DC. If people believed they could call their represenatives with the expectation of getting anything done in reference to their concerns they would call but how many people make that call? The number of registered voters who acually vote is a good indicator as to how many people really believe in our government and if it really represents the people.
I've had this web site on the internet since October 2002 and not one person besides myself has posted an idea, agreed, or disagreed with ideas I've posted. People tell me I'm going to be audited!
If we continue to let corporations buy our representatives through campaign contributions and the Washington lobby we may as well sign our pay checks over to the government. According to www.ntu.org individuals pay 36% of gross income to taxes, the first 2.5 or 3 hours of every working day goes to taxes. I suggest everyone who reads this keep a copy and years from now when your kids and grandkids ask how it go to the point they have to work the first 4 hours of every day to pay taxes you can show them this and explain how you were to busy working the first 2.5 hours of each day to pay your taxes to do anything about it.
According to www.pogo.org In 1940 US companies paid approximately 50% of taxes and individuals paid the other 50%, now US companies pay a little over 13% and individuals pay just over 86%. If this is true any raises individuals have received from 1940 to present have been offset by the increase in taxes which was directly influenced by campaign contributions and the lobby.
The reality is that companies such as Enron and World Com who give millions of $ in campaign contributions to the Republican party and to hedge their bet the Democratic party {before elections} and continue throughout Washington through the lobby in return for political favors. Many companies paid little or no tax and in some cases received money in tax return. Individual American taxpayers covered the taxes these un-American companies cheated their way out of paying which in turn holds the economy down because as individuals we lost spending power and just the oposite of President Bush's tax cut plan has taken place.
American people spend the first 2.5 hours of each day working to pay their taxes but won't spend 15 minutes to vote or write their representatives knowing it doesn't matter because their representation has been bought. people will ask their representatives for money for education, health care, and you name it but still don't understand.
Our economy is failing yet the people of America sit by and wait for the economy to turn around based on our presidents tax cuts. How can the economy turn around by giving the tax cuts Bush proposes on the federal level when most every state in the nation is raising taxes to cover state budget deficits? Contradicting Bush's tax cuts by raising taxes at state levels shifts the burden and does nothing to bump the economy.
NAFTA and all the offshore US companies who we as consumers support through purchasing their products, our increased taxes which they managed to avoid, and jobs they take from the American taxpayer which in turn adds to the taxes we as American taxpayers who remain here absorb is another example of why the Average American taxpayer and the US economy lose. NAFTA is given credit for creating jobs, how many Americans lost a $15 an hour job that went to Mexico and now work two $7 an hour jobs and twice as many hours to support their family and pay the taxes these companies avoid by moving out of the United States?
9/11 and illegal imigration is another example of our government selling us out. I was told by my father in law that when he was stationed in Arizona in the early fifties our government used to round up illegals and haul them back to Mexico on a bus but by the time the bus got back those illegals were already back. The same thing happens today which can be directly related to 9/11, the excuse that there are to many miles of border to patrol is a foolish lie and a poor excuse at best. Corporations have been buying our representatives, promoting illegal imigration, breaking unions, and taking American jobs for years. Not only has this led to American taxpayers losing jobs, our economy failing, but Americans have died {9/11, WTC}.
Love it or leave it should be rephrased to love it or lose it!!! If we as Americans don't come together and do something about our government accepting money in return for political favors the American taxpayer will continue to propstitute themselves out at the expense of family and disgrace the memory of so many who fought and died so we could be free. If the average american who makes $10 an hour could cut the time spent working to pay taxes from 3 hours a day to 2 hours a day they would keep approximately $2400 a year. Compare this to Bush's tax cuts and keep in mind the tax increases within the state you live. That's spending power and a boost to the economy rather than another lie from anther politician who represent the corporation who contributed to the un-American practice of buying the representatives of the people!!!
I'm writting this on 5-26-03, Memorial Day like so many US holidays mean very little. If we continue to do nothing about about these un-American corporations and misrepresentatives of the United States of America we may as well line up at Arlington and take our turn at pissing on the graves of all the brave men and women who died, apparently for an ungrateful nation.
Supportthevets.com points to how we allow our government to make retired and disabled veterans forfeit their military retirement or disability pay to cover health cost. This is another example of the graditude we show to the people who made America the greatest country in the world.
The following are some web sites every American should see. I suggest the education system throughout America use www.nextrevolution.net and these taxpayer advocte sites to bring all Americans together and not only turn the economy but put government back to work for WE THE PEOPLE.
LOVE IT OR LOSE IT!!!

Put The Government Back To Work For the People
Enron, Worldcom, and all the other corporate giants that own the politicians that the American people think they voted into office to represent us are proof enough. Corporate reform or talk of it was only to silence the American public who all to soon forget. Employees at these companies weren’t the only ones to lose, anyone with investments in the stock market lost. As far as money lost in the stock market, it was never really there. If your stock looked fantastic it was manipulated to do so and if you never cashed out you never really lost anything, it was never there.
The fact is our politicians have been bought off from campaign contributions and special interest to the point they couldn’t reform corporate scandal without incriminating themselves. The past ten years have been a LIE!!!
The Clinton years were all a lie and now the Bush Administration is covering with the war on terrorism. How many $100,000 campaign donors stayed at the White House when Clinton was in office? How many will stay in our White House while Bush is in office? How much $ did Enron and all the others give to Republicans and to hedge their bet, the Democrats?
How does America compare to Enron and other corporate failures?
A: How far in dept. is America compared to Enron? Who were Enron’s creditors? Who are America’s creditors?
B: Who walked with all the money from Enron and other corporate scams? Who is walking away with all your tax dollars? Like Enron and employee 401K Congress is spending Social Security.
C: Politicians are accepting money from campaign contributions & special interest on top of their pay check from Americans with retirement and health care while the average American goes without health Ins. and retirement {Social Security is spent as a hidden income tax while taxpayers are given tax relief?}
D: Didn’t evidence of people warning Enron top executives come out with corporate scandals? We hear the same warnings everyday about government and our politicians, you’re reading one right now.!!!
Our Government is failing!
Vietnam is all but forgotten, all that remains is a wall which government uses to manipulate the truth. Most of the people who go to fight Iraq weren’t even born when Vietnam took place and the rest forget.
Why were we really in Vietnam? When I was 15 and thought I’d have to go our government said it was to fight communism. Why would we care if communism took control of a dirt poor third world country? Why would we send our young to die for something that could only burden a failing communist movement.
Were we fighting communism or financing it? 58,000 Americans died in front of weapons bought from communist countries like the USSR. The USSR went broke about eleven years ago and would have gone broke years earlier if North Vietnam wouldn’t have spent billions of $ on weapons which were used to kill Americans.
Our government lied all throughout the Vietnam conflict, wasn’t even declared war. A government of the people, by the people lied and sent American people to die for reasons still unknown. Now President Bush would send Americans to die in Iraq to fight a war his father should have finished while he was in office. Our government is still misleading the people!!! I once read an editorial stating Richard Nixon got us out of Vietnam. The reality is that thousands of young Americans demonstrating against the USA being in Vietnam along with four dead students at Kent State in OHIO got us out of Vietnam! The youth of the 21st century will have to lead the way, it’s their future. Their time is here and now, history is repeating itself !
Failures by our Government
Vietnam, 58,000 dead, how many wounded and left behind?
Gulf War never finished, Saddam in control and terrorist killing Americans for the past ten years!!! 9-11
Social security, hidden income tax! Politicians have retirement while spending taxpayers SSI!
Social Security faces cash deficits in 2016! Benefit reduction or tax increase needed beginning in 2001!
Social Security insolvent in 2038! WWW.GAO.GOV!!!
Medicare-Medicaid! Rip-offs! Medicare Hospital Insurance insolvent in 2029
Health Insurance, we buy our politicians Insurance but taxpayers do without!
Education in America!
Prescription drug cost! Rip-offs!
Economy failing while rich corporations buy our representatives! Stock market a lie!
Politicians on campaign trail while on our time raising money for Republicans and Democrats!
Who represents Americans? Taxation without representation!
3000 Americans die in 9-11 terrorist attack which should have been prevented!
National Commission CO-chaired by Gary Hart published in 1999 warning of attack such as 9-11! www.nssg.gov
Task Force on Homeland Security Imperatives chaired by former U.S. Senator Gary Hart.
{U.S. far from ready to deal with terrorist attacks!}10-25-02 A full year after 9-11!
USDA! FEPP wasting million of $! Farm subsidies!
FAA! Failed Security! Evidence of failures every day in the media a year after 9-11!
CIA! Failed homeland security!
FBI! Failed homeland security!
INS! Terrorist, Illegals! Bush gives Amnesty to illegals after 9-11!
IRS! GAO reports billions of $ lost revenue! www.gao.gov!
NAFTA! U.S. jobs going out of the country, how many Americans have been laid-off or face layoff?
Trade Deficit!
If all the people who fought and died so we could be free knew we would do nothing while government sold out to the rich and stuck it to the American people they never would have sacrificed as they did. The monuments we build to pay tribute pale in comparison to the disrespect we show by doing nothing while our government destroys this nation. A flag on a car antenna after 9-11 is all patriotism means in America in the 21st century. We are not a grateful America and it won’t be long before we have exactly what we deserve unless we put government in it’s place!
We need to send a message to Terrorists. They don’t need to destroy America, the rich who buy our politicians and our so called representatives are doing it from right here in the America!!!

Poverty in America!!!
Why do Americans send their loved ones to die in Iraq when we have many of the same problems right here in America but we do nothing?
Do our wealthy representatives know poverty?
Poverty in America reached 12.8% according to recent studies, 35,000,000 Americans live in poverty! 43.6 million Americans have no health insurance! How many million Americans are borderline poverty? 18.9% 0f America’s children, 13.5 million live in poverty yet we send their grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, and every American imaginable to fight for the rights of people in other nations. The number of people living in poverty in the USA doesn’t even make the news. Child poverty for children under 6 in a household with no husband is 54.8%.
While president Bush says “bring them on” the father of another child dies for reasons more political than humanitarian as evident in the lack of WMD. If humanity was the reason for war in Iraq we would be at war with half the world, a police action we cannot afford as made evident in Iraq. President Bush recently asked for $87 billion more tax dollars and there is no end in sight in rebuilding Iraq. Will the next billion $ government contract in Iraq go to the highest campaign contributor???
If the media in America were interested in real news instead of ratings I have to believe we’d see Americans living in poverty. $16,660 supports a family of four, what does the hourly wage of two people that gross $16,660 breaks down to? Minimum wage in America is at best poverty level and from what I read our government would like to take overtime away from some people in America, another favor in return for campaign contributions I imagine.
How does NAFTA effect the numbers when American jobs go out of country? How do un-American companies who locate out of country in order to take advantage of cheap labor and evade U.S. taxes effect poverty in America? Whose campaign did they contribute to? Why doesn’t Congress pass law to track U.S. companies located out of country, taxes paid or NOT, campaign contributions made by these companies, and stock holders in these companies???
With another presidential election upcoming I see millions if not billions of $ being donated by corporations and the rich for political favors by America’s representatives yet the number of Americans living in poverty continues to rise. While children go hungry in America how many $100,000 campaign donors will stay in the Lincoln room at the White House. How many corporations will get a tax refund, pay no taxes, or gain government contracts because they donated to the next president of the United States of America.
The Idaho Statesman, 9-27-03 {Housing gives the economy a boost} points to economic recovery and gives credit to Bush’s tax cuts. Bush bought his way into the White House by giving $300 tax refunds to Americans in return for votes, $600 per child tax credits, and this go around an additional $400 per child tax credits yet almost every state in the nation lacks funding for education. Health care in America is nonexistent for the working poor! Was it more important to burn up the first surplus America has seen in years to get himself into the White House?
Most states have been running deficits and raising taxes which offset Bush’s tax refunds negating his tax cuts. How can we spend our federal tax refund to bump the economy when we have to turn it over to the state in which we live to cover increased taxes? . I read Bush has $80 million in campaign contributions, Tax that!!!
The American people need to wake up and start thinking for themselves. Do our employers allow their employees, {American taxpayers} the luxuries we allow our government employees and representatives? Why do we send our loved ones to die for other nations yet prostitute ourselves out for the first 2.5 hours a day to pay taxes while 35,000,000 Americans live in poverty? Eliminate Gov. waste, cut that 2.5 hours a day worked to pay taxes to 1.5 hours. At $10 an hour an American taxpayer would keep approximately $2400 of their income otherwise paid in taxes.
Does Gov. work for the people or do the people work for Gov.???
Compare that to Bush’s tax cuts and keep the surplus!!!
