For the People and By the People: Tax and Corruptions

We are the greatest power in the United States. I love being an American. I believe in the foundation of our laws: The Constitution. In which our laws should be based on. However that is not true. We as American forgot our ways. How the British Empire use to tax us. Now our own country tax us heavily. They are Federal Income tax, Medicare tax, some State Income tax, Sales tax some nearly 10% (State, county and city), phone tax, corporate tax, property tax (state, county and city levels), and every other tax that these greedy politicians could think. What happened to our fundamental belief in low taxes. I know we need cops, paramedics, firefighter, civil service and protection agencies. But how about hiring the right cops.
Corrupt cops cost cities, counties and citizens crape loads of money. Not only Corrupt cops also corrupt people who are in powerful position that they were to serve the American people. Not for their own greedy personal reasons. Their has been some rise of police corruption, abuse and interesting our fines on speeding tickets. Should there be a fine for speeding tickets? I think not, almost the speed limit in some places are not justify.
For example, almost everyone in the south speeds over 10 in Interstates and some places in Tennessee have illegal speed traps like in Dayton, Tennessee. This town is know for its racial politics. Most of the upper people are White racists people. The judge, Judge William (Bill) McPheeters is corrupt. He gives white people more lean then African-American, or Asians in court. And a former cop who is now Head of the Fire department in Dayton, Tenn. is Fire Chief Chuck Suttles. if you look in their website and go see these people there is alot of whites then any other races. This town is corrupt. The cops get some for "speeding" going 60MPH. They are many cases that says that, however, these people are targets. The Dayton Police Department is know for getting money. There financial records show that significant amount of money are from tickets.
The government takes our money, and some corrupt people take the money and use it on themselves. A federal law tells us that we have the right to look at records of our government records. Dayton, Tennessee will not show all its records. They will not release it, some financial records were from the state level. Now soon some people will investigate why.Dayton, Tennessee is my first pick as corrupt city. I know there is more their but this town shows less interest in its people then more interest in their pockets.
The citizens of this town says the cops targets the people and the city takes there hard earn money. First, if the government is going to ticket somebody. They should have a college degree and better trained. Not these high school graduates or GED go through a low train program like P.O.S.T. and give tickets. Second tickets should only be point based. The military does this and most people who go on military base will just loss points and this effects them more then just fines or fees. In fact the insurance companies like this because they could charge more.
This country is the best darn country in the world. We might have our problems. But we should go back to our foundations and resources that helped USA to grow into a powerful nation. We should not be like the Romans. But better then them.
