Incentive to Politicians to Audit the Federal Reserve

What incentive does the typical politician have to audit the Federal Reserve? Just for one minute put yourself in the shoes of your representative. With few exceptions politicians start out on the right path. They have an idea of what is morale but somewhere along the way someone starts slipping green backs under their door. They may try to shut it down but somehow it still gets in, then there is evidence of the payoff. From that one payoff blackmail/leverage is gained, then another payoff and another and another. Before long it becomes normal to get paid to vote a certain way. Before long the master changes instead of the constituents being the boss now the cash cow rules the roost.

Before you pass judgment on your rep. do you really think you could stay faithful and strong with all that temptation? I really doubt it. The penalty for getting caught is next to nothing compared to the pay off. Besides the crimes on the public seem like silly little meaningless things today. They just don't see how all the little pieces come together. They just have no real incentives to do the right thing once their morality is corrupted.

So how can we give our politicians the help and support to keep their morality? How can we give them the incentive to follow the straight and narrow path? Well as a child I always remembered the corporal punishment that was dealt to me when I strayed from the path. I remember several occasions when I did something I knew was bad but thought I could get away with it. I remember the outcome when I was caught and suddenly that belt across my back side gave me the incentive to return to the right path.

Some experts will argue with me that corporal punishment is not right. I would have to say at times they are right. I would never spank a child younger than 4 years old and after they are over 12 a whipping with a belt just builds more anger in the child being punished. But there is a window in the development of all children when respect and consideration can be taught by the use of an open hand on the but. There is a time when children can be taught that there may be a physical punishment dealt for bad behavior and disrespect. And when they pass the age of 8 a doubled over leather belt will leave an impression that someone will hold them accountable for their choices.

As always people have different opinions on teaching children the values of respect and consideration. Some people go over board to the extent of causing permanent physical harm to a child. While others do nothing because they believe that a child, (who's brain isn't even developed enough to consider the consequences to their actions) will figure out what is right all on their own. Not that I'm saying they are stupid but how can anyone learn the seriousness of a bad choice if there is never any serious punishment?

Now back to our politicians, those cute little kids that are getting into so much trouble and never getting any punishment. I ask, What would give you the incentive to straighten out and return to the path of morality? Would someone telling you, you've been a bad politician and you need to do better or you may have to sit in the corner. Would that do it for you? Maybe, maybe not.

How about this? What if several people visited those politicians at their work and let them know that it's possible some crazy friend of theirs might just visit them in their house some night. Maybe if their was a type of punishment, like capitol punishment for politicians who are found guilty of fraud or corruption.
Well you may say that killing a politician is too harsh, you may say their crimes aren't that bad. I say your either really stupid or your a politician.

Some people never consider the trillions of dollars that are stolen out of the pockets of the poor who cannot afford heat in the winters or food and medications when needed. No, for those who never see that side of life the white collar crimes of politicians just don't seem that evil those people are sadly naive. Everyone needs to see the harm done to the poor by our politicians.

I believe the only way to save this country at this point; is to remove the corruption that is eating this country from the inside out. The only real solution is the return of corporal and capitol punishment for white collar crimes. In many foreign countries the removal of the offending hand or even stoning are punishments dealt for similar crimes. I think we could incorporate those punishments into our legal system. I believe the prisons and legal systems that are over burdened now would dry up very quickly when people started to learn that there are real consequences for stealing, corruption and the breaking of laws.

In our efforts to become more civil, we have lost our values and our incentives to rediscover those values. We are killing, and allowing the slaying of the less fortunate to feed our ravenous appetites for more gold and power. We have strayed from the path and without our morality to guide us we are lost.

The time to for teaching morality and consequences is now upon us. It is upon those of us with the capacity to begin dishing out the punishments to once again teach the lessons so many have forgotten or never learned in the first place.

CONSEQUENCES
All actions have consequences. Sometimes the consequences are very dire.


SACRIFICE
Taking a loss to ensure the right thing is done.
