Subject: BS: Bobert's State of the Union Address..
Well, not to mix words, but it sucks so...

...here's what Bobert proposes for the next year:

1. First of all, as fir those rich folks, that party is over... You can't continue being the upper 5%, controlling 70% of the wealth and paying only 45% of the taxes... Like I said, time to pay yer share of the wealth you have corraled. Add $500B to the coffers..

2. We're gonna have to rewrite the Medicaid perscription plan that favors the seniors... No middle men and no rip off drug companines...

3. Speaking of drug companies, hey, we're going to finance a one payer health insurace plan for every American... This is going to help out industrial sector which blames every lay-off on rising health care.

4. We are going to crate private-public partnerships between industry and the various department of corrections faciltities and decrease the incarceration rate by 25% in the next year and 50% by th year after.

5. Owners of new non-efficient automobiles and truck will be taxed at $2500 a year, this money going into r&d for more econimical vehilcles and mass transit.

6. Speaking of mass transit, $200B of the dough we got from the rich paying their fair share, will go annulaly to on a matching dollar for dollar basis to major metropolitan areas for building and maintaining mass tarnsit systems.

7. The Minimum wage will be increase to $12.oo per hour for anyone working fulltime and considered perminent employees and $10.00 and hour for part time and summer workers.

8. All federal elected campaigns will be publically funded and 527's and 501(c)'s will not be allowed to either place ads ordo amil outs... No exceptions...

9. The exective branch will not conduct in any illegal activities and if there is even the slightest possibility that it might be illegeal then it will go before Congress to plead it's case.

10. The windfall profits that have been enjoyed by the oil companies will be taxed 100% retroactively to those profits reported (peercentage wise) before 9/11.

11. The US will enter into an agreement with Saudi Arabia and impliment the Saudi Peace Plan.

12, The US will withdraw all it's tropps from Irag within 6 months.

13. The US will pay the cost of fixing the levee system in New Orleans and will provide gap insurance to any homeowners as well as delaring that any New Orleans resident, land owner ot not, will hjave an opportunity to return and live in N.O.. For renters HUD will offer rent subsidies.

14. The following folks are tonight getting pink slips: Donnie Rumsfeld, Karl Rove, and I the creep appointed to be ambassador ot the UN...

15. All federal effortes to compromise communties from using marujuana for medical purposes will be ended...

Now, them's is just starters... Hey, ya can't do every thing in one year...

Good night and God Bless America
