Two hundred... two hundred and fifty representatives co-sponsor the FLAT TAX bill Knowing it will NEVER come to a vote under either the Democrats or Republicans. But they can always point to this grand gesture back home and say, "I tried". This is more of the same stupid games these people have played for decades. They're not interested in what concerns their constituents. All their concerned about is covering their butts! Glenn Beck is right. THROW ALL OF THEIR BUTTS OUT! There are 435 members of the House and 100 Senators. The VAST majority of these clowns are lawyers. In 2010 vote "NO MORE LAWYERS". They can run, but we don't have to vote for them. Most have never run a business, none of them have EVER produced anything but income and the main tool of their trade is words. Just words. They bend them, they twist them and they use them for their own agenda. Let's get back to the constitution which calls for citizen legislators... people who actually work for a living. Listen to Glenn Beck and learn how this bunch of slugs can be beat.

This bill has not passed both houses of Congress which it MUST do before it goes to the President for his signature. The bill that passed the house has NOT been introduced into the Senate; nor has the Senate bill been introduced into the House. Neither is either likely to be. Even if they were and actually passed, they'd have to be reconciled before going to the White House... something else that is NOT likely to EVER happen. Thus, we see everyone and his brother voting for these measures secure in the knowledge that there is virtually NO CHANCE either measure will see the light of day.
