Demand Accountability

Great comments. I can only hope this mindframe is actually taken.

Give the power back to the people by lowering taxes and give some love to the corporations who provide jobs to American by lowering their taxes and regs so they will stay here. With more money in our pockets the people will have the ability to buy their health care and with fewer regulations and lower taxes the health care corporations can lower their costs and make health care much more affordable. The plans for Universal Health care will just raise taxes, lower the quality of health care and put more money in the pockets of the government elitists who will be dictating who gets what health care if any.

The good things that the WHO and UNESCO do could easily be done by a coalition "of the willing". The rest of the UN and its corrupt management should be dumped.

Most of what you say about the UN is crap, it is not accountable to the US, either. Lower taxes for working people won't help enough; it is a better idea to not make the tax breaks for the rich permanent and to adopt single-payer universal healthcare, which takes the burden off the employer and the worker. The problem with the financial/monetary system and the physical economy isn't regulation, it is the absence of regulation. When Nixon let the dollar's value float in l971, it turned loose all the speculators and produced the breakup of the monetary/financial system we see today. De-regulating banks, letting them broker mortgages, produced the sub-prime mortgage implosion. Enron, Inc. was able to rob California of billions when energy was de-regulated, forcing the state to buy energy on the open market. The list goes on and on of the evils, not of regulation, but of de-regulation. It's time to re-regulate.

Holding ourselves and the UN accountable is crucial. I love the mission and the founding ideals on which the UN was created, but there are so many problems with it.
