Seattle has chosen to elect the elite to their mayor and city council

Recently voters in Seattle have chosen to make their city more unlivable for the common people.  With the recent election of Sawant who wants less jobs in Seattle by making the minimum wage more than $15 an hour.  Recently the mayor Ed Murray who also support this idea want to make statewide in the state legislature.  Sounds like jobs will soon be moving to another city shortly. 

Anchorage Transportation Commission may put a new daily and nightly lease rate for drivers

If the permit owners decide to raise the rate too high for most drivers then the Anchorage Transportation Commission is talking about about capping the daily lease rate to no more than $100 for day drivers and $90 for night drivers.  This will allow drivers to keep more money in their pockets to feed their families.  If you are a driver and want the daily lease rate capped attend the January 27th and February 24th meeting of the Anchorage Transportation Commission to voice your support for daily lease rate cap.

Anchorage Public starting in April 2014 will have safer cabs

Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013 Ten smart members of the Anchorage Assembly voted to approve Ordinance 2013-109.  Customers will no longer be allowed to sit in the front seat even at the drivers request.  Dispatch companies will have to have to make all their files available to the transportation inspector.  Handicapped, Eagle River and Chugiak customers will have to served in a timely manner.  Drivers will no longer get to choose their trips and dispatch companies must dispatch all trips except for the airport.  The trip will go to the closest cab available not who in the zone first.  This will make sure the closest cab always get the closest trip. 

Fast Food Workers and Walmart workers need to show talent worth making $15 an hour

Many fast food workers who work full time have complained about low wages.  Most major fast food restaurants have offered health insurance, 401k plan and other benefits that when I was a fast food worker in the late 1980's and early 1990's I did not have these benefits working at McDonald's in Kodiak and Jack in the Box in Spokane.  Most Walmart workers part or full time have health, 401k benefits which twenty years ago never had.  You need to humble accept the pay you have.  You want a higher wage earn it do not demand it by creating higher unemployment for your area or to lose your job due to higher wage they can not afford you.  Please if you want a higher wage earn it or prove you deserve.  Demanding it makes it so you have no job.

Americans are asking you do a stop payment on a presidential, congressional and US senatorial pensions

When the United States of America was founded by people who were freedom fighters.  They were common folk.  Now days they have careers then get pensions.  We need to create several constitutional amendments.  One to repeal the 16th amendment which if you talk to the Ron Paul bots.  This amendment was never ratified this needs to be replaced with a flat tax or a consumption tax.  Then you have that 27th amendment which allows congressman to get paid during a government shutdown.  Why do we have a shutdown.  This could have avoided if the Unaffordable Care Act was ruled unconstitutional.  This is a tax the Supreme Court said so.  Let's create an initiative and referendum process.  Every four years citizens with a minimum of four million signature like the state of Alaska must have 20 percent of each state's registered voters to qualify.  You have additional cabinet position called the Secretary of Domestic Affairs this would ratify citizen petitions.  Then put term limits many municipal government do this and we do our president, now time for congress and senators.  We also need to stop funding the pensions of any federal lawmaker.  You serve your country unless you were a federal employee before you became a lawmaker you get no pension.  No pension, No retirement and no presidential library.  I am not paying for the Barack Obama presidential golf course library on the lakefront of Lake Michigan within Chicago city limits.  If the taxpayers of Chicago want this they can pay for it themselves.  Each presidential library can be paid for by the families that have these president not my tax dollars.  Our first lawmakers had no pension.  Remember Thomas Jefferson started the Modern Library of Congress in 1815 when he donated his personal collection before that it was just for lawmakers only.  Each president til 1969 served there time with no pension back to their lives.  Lyndon Baines Johnson was the first president to serve under a pension many congressman have been doing it for years before the presidents did.  We need to get back to the basics our country was founded in 1787.  Just the basic no gravy allowed unless it is on my plate thanks. 

There are reasons that Sams Club and Walmart are at the bottom of the food chain when it comes to customers

Most people who decide they want to shop at a place it is the service they receive.  Walmart and Sams Club believe that you have a one size fit all approach.  Yes they do help find missing children but other than that.  You walk into any Sams Club, Walmart and Walmart Super center all built the same.  They do allow RV's to park for free.  Customer Service really stinks.  There neighbor Fred Meyer on the East Side is no better at this.  I have made more complaints over the years to that store customer service than anywhere else in Anchorage.  For Sams Club you would figure since members are paying to shop.  You would have a little courtesy.  I would recommend you head over to Lowes take some customer service cues.  When we are closed we nicely say we are closed at the entrance.  We do not yell it out to the customer in a rude fashion. Make sure that you also staff your people so when there is a rush you help the customers.  We at Lowes when the cashiers need help they help the people.  Walmart be like Lowes and help the customers please.  I may cancel my membership from your Sams Club we shall see. 

All of the nations museums need to sold to private non profit foundations

When the government has no budget like on Tuesday, October 1st, 2013 national monuments are closed.  Let's sell these national monuments to non profit charities like the World War II memorial, Smithsonian and Washington Monuments.  Major non profit veterans groups could purchase or operate monuments instead of the United States Government.  We could pay off some debt to fund other essential areas of the government like our troops.
