My Fellow Wallie Americans

Politician....

Mr President, and others who are assembled here.

Do you know the derivation of the descriptive word for your profession:

Poly = Many

Tic = Blood sucking insect

Looking at your advise - I see that you live up to the derivation. I am susposed to buy what is often inferior and less efficient items - that aren't even fully made in America.

I am all for buying America - when it makes sense. But, the world has changed and America is playing catch up in a few areas (actually - they aren't even trying).

Want to change things:

1) Severly tax short term profits from major companies.

2) Mimimally tax long term profits from major companies.

The above two items would change investors and companies into thinking about long term profits - and not focus on the next quarters or next years profits at the expense of the future.

3) R&D cost are to be depreciated as per the product cycle of their related products. That prevents companies from saving money this year by shutting down R&D.

4) Recognize that the real cost of energy usage and substaintially force much better energy usage and efficiency policies.
