James D. "Jim" Schneller, candidate for
Pennsylvania's 7th District, has stepped up his planks that
encourage responsible leadership and compliance with the duty to
represent the people. This occurs due to public demand and due
to the enormity of the current
issue of government spending.
Jim Schneller has signed the Americans' For Tax Reform No
Tax Pledge, which has been a must for tax-wary candidates and their
supporters for many years.
This one paragraph pledge, states that Jim will
"oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rates
for individuals andlor businesses" and will "oppose any net reduction or elimination of deductions and
credits unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax
rates." It is Jim Schneller's position that the
tax code is enormously larger than it has to be, and so it is time to
rewrite it in simple form. Jim believes that as soon as the tax code
exceeded the understanding threshold of we the citizens, it became
a fraud, obstructive, and unconstitutional.
Jim has also pledged, as can be seen on the Jim4US
website, that, in the interests of workable government, voices of the
people, and diminution
of greed ( nearly a campaign requisite in the recent era of
cynicism ), Jim will donate 20 percent of his salary as
Congressperson, to charities in our district, and will likewise
donate any future pay increases. Jim is a proponent of
eliminating pensions for Congress and other elected and appointed federal
employees.
After the amount foregone to donation, Jim's salary will resemble the amount paid at the time when the
mortgage crisis was attaining it's final conspiratorial touches from
legislators and other entities, or, after the amount foregone to donation
and pension, around
the time of Tianamen Square massacre. These are times when our
legislature began to fail more miserably than ever, in their duty to
represent we the people, which has culminated now in a milieu of total
corruption and callousness which we witness regularly.
From Jim for Congress' campaign work on the streets the past two months, it is
plainly and voluminously evident that greed, and failure of
representation, are perceived by the people as a direct threat
to the economy, to future generations, to health care, to the environment,
and to most facets of what is supposed to be a righteous governing.
It is time then, to Jim's belief, for a yearly audit of the federal
government, including a section for waste and fraud, that must be easily
readable for all Americans, and publicized by responsible media.
