The issue is to keep Congress from adding and/or changing the tax structure without the approval of the tax payers. This is what got us in the mess we are in today. Our politicians in Washington have no limits to what or how much they can tax the voting citizens and when they run out of money for budgets, they rob from what is available or increase taxes or create new taxes to cover their spending habits. Let's get a check and balance system to control Congress from spending us into bankruptcy. The Fair Tax Plan is a great idea.

There are arguments that can go for either side of the coin. I think that our main problem is some of the people that are in office in our government, If we could replace some of them with people that new what they were doing, we would not be having the problems in our government that we are having now.

The key to that is that I have pay taxes at least twice if not more on the things I buy after the government has taken taxes out of my pay check. I beleive that the fairtax would be better for us because we would not pay taxes on our retired pay and would receive the prebate as well.

Thank you for putting down on paper the thoughts and concerns of so many of us. Unfortunately Philip, Agenda 21 and ICLEI are not the stuff of 'paranoid delusions'. I wish it were so. But their stated intent is quite clear, and John has it right. They claim individual land ownership is 'unsustainable', as are suburban and individual dwellings, dams, paved roads, plowed land, grazing, etc. But one need not read beyond the first of these outrageous claims; individual land ownership is unsustainable? The founding fathers agreed: Property rights must be sacred for liberty to exist. Check out the video at the link below Philip. Does that gal look like a radical, delusional, conspiracy theorist? Wake up man. The threat is real. Rick Mohr http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oopudgty_FY&feature=related Well stated John.

I tried to work with that group as the Project Manager of Mokelumne Bluffs, which project proposed major "gifts" to the county, only to have them attempt to undermine us at the project approval stage. Thankfully again, the wise Board put up a red light and called them to the carpet. Keep your rights, educate yourselves, and beware wolves in sheeps clothing (ie: UN agenda items!).

Please have others view it as well. We are up against the same sort of fight here in El Dorado County (and nation wide) . Unfortunately we just lost a Redevelopment battle with our BOS. Guess we can't win them all? (Won a Sustainable Dev. issue in May!).

Has anyone counted the number of businesses in Pine Grove that are still in business? Or how many EMPTY buildings there are in Pine Grove and Jackson? General plans for small communities either offer a way to best utilize the available space; encouraging business development and centralizing commercial businesses. Discouraging automobile traffic would enable greater density of commercial businesses fostering increased foot traffic and thus increased potential sales. Alternatively General plans can be methods for unscrupulous profiteers to exploit an area; building facilities which are poorly planned and attracting unsavory tenants and resulting in the eventual degradation of that area due to poor access and unrestricted growth. Then these profiteers develop an area and then leave having sold an albatross to an unsuspecting community. What we need to examine and determine is who the developers are and if the proposed deals are thinly veiled hand shakes between councilman and planners and developers. Having unsuccessfully fought developers and city planners in simi valley during the Mid 80's I noticed that the developers played dirty, the councilman played dirty and the planners played dirty. Consideration was never given to the population that had to remain and live with their mistakes. What resulted was very dirty politics, intimidation by developers, money exchanging hands between council, planners and developers as well as signs against development as well as people against development being taken down and strong armed respectively. Inevitably the general plan won out. The city then , within just a few years, looked exactly like the crap hole that many people had moved from. This slash and burn tactic by developers ruined a bed room community and turned it into yet another high density, high traffic , mini malls at every corner, low income housing that quickly looked more like projects than apartments. Property values declined and the developers and city council walked away smiling. Regardless of any paranoid delusion of a United Nations Agenda 21 (really?) we should be very careful to examine in every detail whatever plan is being evaluated. I would be very suspicious about every number and every word this plan is being sold. I am simply wary of why any city council would attempt a plan such as this during a major depression/recession when small businesses are collapsing. This sounds more like an Obama Care for the developers and those who will benefit from constructing this but leaving behind a busted treasury and empty buildings. One question I would like to have answered is if this plan is simply trying to take advantage of what is left of federal stimulus money? That is a cheap trick and one that I suspect more so than any United Nations Agenda. The conspiracy is more like the usual and that is to pinch money from a population reeling from unemployment. I am opposed to any such plan which in effect is just a Field of Dreams..... BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME. GENERAL PLAN – The Build it and they will come Plan.
