Recommended Posts

This is the final editorial written by longtime Orlando Sentinel columnist Charley Reese in 1984.

"545 vs. 331,000,000 People  – ….

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?"

"There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exist disembodied mystical forces like “the economy,” “inflation,” or “politics” that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power."

What you do with this article now that you have read it…. Is up to you.

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom, if she desired, stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the heck happened? Can you spell ‘politicians?
