A Paycheck or a Royalty Payment?
Public Servants is what they are referred to. But do they provide a service, in exchange for what they draw from the public treasury funded by our taxdollars? Interaction with some reveals an attitude more like that of Royalty. What they get from us in a regular paycheck is more like a Royalty payment than a payment for services.
My organization, INFORMED CITIZENS, is working full time on the Texas Legislature to address this problem. For more about INFORMED CITIZENS visit our website at www.informed.org Watch for frequent updates to that site, and to this blog, throughout the 2009 regular session of the Texas Legislature. We want to see the taxpaying citizens receive some value for what they pay in taxes.
See also Sections 9 & 10 of Article 1 of our Constitution for our United States of America. The PROHIBITION OF TITLES OF NOBILITY. A position in government on OUR land (our Country), by election, appointment, or hire, is NOT a ROYAL TITLE. It is a position of employment in an entity that We the People own. We, individually as well as collectively, are the intended beneficiaries of the non-profit entity known as government, be it a Federal, a State, or more Local entity.
There are two sections in Article 1 because one prohibits any STATE that is party to the United States from granting a Title of Nobiliby, and the other prohibits the STATE known as the UNITED STATES, from granting any Title of Nobility. This is what secures to each on this land EQUAL PROTECTION OF THE LAW. This security came before the Bill of Rights was added, with restatement of the same, in different words, in the Fourteenth Amendment.
