Mission Statement of the Social Security Administration Beneficiary Union

The mission of the Beneficiary Union is to represent all people who receive, or would like to receive, retirement, disability or supplemental security insurance administrated by the Social Security Administration.

The purpose of the Beneficiary Union is to allow beneficiaries the freedom of the press, peaceable assembly and trade and the right to sue the government for a redress of grievances.

This Union is not elected by the Department of Labor.

Liver disease is not allowed in this Soviet Union.

This Union does not lobby the Democratic-Republican Two Party System.

Sickness, Poverty and Crime are not allowed by this Beneficiary Union.

This Beneficiary Union is a voluntary Community Service completely paid for by the regular benefit payments of the Social Security Administration.

We believe, at this time, social security guarantees all United States citizens, including children, an income of $1,000 a month.

We believe social security beneficiaries have achieved communist self-sufficiency and therefore have a duty of care to perform social work.

Social work begins with a happy home and family, heals the sick, cleans, feeds the hungry, houses the homeless, transports those on foot, liberates the slave, educates the stupid, balances the budget, pays the poor, employs the unemployed, and ends in peaceful and prosperous international relations.

While the strong eat anything they want, the weak eat only vegetables(Romans 14:2) Children’s Bible

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in union with the Messiah Jesus our Lord(Romans 6:23) International Standard Version

In time it is hoped to coordinate with the disability and retirement advocacy organizations in every county in the nation to hold the social security administration accountable, host beneficiary union meetings to discuss issues affecting the beneficiary community, advertise housing and work opportunities within the beneficiary community, and promote social welfare.

This unsecured blog allows for democratic socialism.

For the dictatorship of the proletariat to do social justice official documents must be emailed by the Author to the Secretary for publication at www.title24uscode.org/ssabeneficiaryunion.htm

Medical Ethics Committee Viability Study

Community Health Center: Ethics Committee Viability Study. HA-15-10-10 www.title24uscode.org/CHC.htm

On October 15, 2010 it was Proposed to Advertise: Community Health Center (CHC) social workers and Hospitals & Asylums have partnered to conduct an Ethics Committee Viability Study pursuant to E: 9.11 of the AMA Code of Medical Ethics that states,

“Ethics committees in all health care institutions should be educational and advisory in nature. Generally, the function of the ethics committee should be to consider and assist in resolving unusual, complicated ethical problems involving issues that affect the care and treatment of patients within the health care institution. Recommendations of the ethics committee should impose no obligation for acceptance on the part of the institution, its governing board, medical staff, attending physician, or other persons. A wide variety of background training is preferable, including such fields as philosophy, religion, medicine, and law. Ethics consultation services, like social services, should be financed by the institution. Patients, employees and family are humbly invited to submit their ethics and human rights cases to ethics@communityhealthcenter.org (not operational)”.

The provisional audit of CHC is that it was initially founded in 1972 as the result of an extensive, grassroots, community-based effort, and exists today as a non-profit corporation, which enjoys IRS tax-exempt status. The singular charitable mission of Community Health Center has remained relatively unchanged for over a quarter-century and that is to promote the health of low-income, working uninsured, and other vulnerable adults and children in Jackson County, Oregon.

The services of CHC are made available pursuant to a generous sliding-fee-schedule, which is adjusted for household income and number of dependents. Patients are permitted to make small monthly payments commensurate with their financial abilities. The agency emphasizes a patient participation model, and offers a hand up but not a hand out. No one is turned away because of their inability to pay.

In the 2009 Annual Report Board President Tilly Gibbs wrote that the 2009 Operating Budget was $5 million of which $4,065,019 was wages for 76 employees, an average salary of $53,487 a year. 9,135 unduplicated patients paid 35,452 visits. 95% of these patients were at 200% below the federal poverty line and 51% were uninsured, $1,836,675 was discounted. Patients are 51 percent uninsured, 32% Medicaid, 12% Private Insurance and 5% Medicare.

Financial support comes 58.3% from patient fees ($2.915 million), 23.2% from federal grants ($1.16 million), 11.9% other grants ($595,000), 3.1% fundraising ($155,000), 1% Jackson County ($50,000), City of Medford 0.8% ($40,000), City of Ashland 0.7% ($35,000), United Way 0.6% ($30,000), other 0.2% ($10,000).

15 days was not enough for a response. My mother and sister work there. They suggested volunteering. CHC made a liar of me. I can always change my schedule though. CHC is an ideal non-profit primary care health care organization to set up a social welfare program for author/patients below the poverty line and medical bill forgiveness for those under 200% of poverty. Poor petitioners would be paid $10 a page they write and everyone would be read for free.

The ethics committee could be paid from a percentage of chonically unused malpractice assets for risk reduction. The ultimate socio-economic goal of this health care corporation is for the government to pay their entire $5 million budget because CHC has gone above and beyond the call of non-profit status to actually redistribute wealth to their poor patients who do their homework and submit their essays to the Ethics Committee.

I hope other artists will also petition local health care institutions to conduct similar Ethics Committee Viability Studies in pursuit of a health care institution that not only doesn't b(k)ill people but actually redistributes their subsidies to those poor patients who need money to recover and achieve the highest possible level of health.

I pray CHC and all health institutions will staff Medical Ethics Committees and employ some artists with their revenues. It is not too late for CHC to respond. I hope people everywhere will give Medical Ethics Committees a try, in their community, and report their experiences in this blog. It sounds like a good job to me sanderstony@live.com

American Popular Election: USA has not achieved a Quorum for Democracy since 1900

Just 26% of Americans say they are satisfied with the way the nation is being governed, the lowest in the history of the poll. Fifty-eight percent of Americans believe a third major political party is needed because the Republican and Democratic Parties do a poor job of representing the American people. The Democratic and Republican (DR) bipartisan system holds all public offices at all levels of government in a nearly totalitarian grip. In 2005 ninety-nine of the one hundred U.S. senators were either republicans or Democrats, 434 of the 435 representatives in the House of Representatives are affiliated with one of the two major parties, all fifty of the state governors and more than 7,350 of the approximately 7,400 state legislators elected in partisan elections ran under major party labels.

The Democratic-Republican (DR) two party system evolved in six stages. First, the Hamiltonian Federalist Party was defeated by the Democratic-Republican Party that ran virtually unopposed from 1800-1924. Second, in 1824 the president became popularly elected but dissention within the Democratic-Republican Party led the Jacksonian Democrats and National Republican Party, later the Whigs to split the ticket. Third the Republicans defeated the Southern Democrats in Civil War and militarily occupied them while blacks got the right to vote and as many as 2,000 were elected to public office, patronage kept voter turnout was high. Fourth, by the turn of the century Jim Crow laws had suppressed the black vote and Republicans became decadent but held onto power until the Great Depression. Fifth, the New Deal Democrats and their social welfare programs justified dramatic increase in taxation and government spending. Sixth, the modern political system is known as the split ticket system because neither Democrat nor Republican seem to dominate and the President and Majority Party are more often than not from different parties. To ensure the Democratic and Republican Parties are opposed voters are voting for legislators and Presidents from different parties, rather than remaining loyal to any one of the two major parties.

This game is however unequal to the challenge of redistributing wealth to the righteous. The U.S. government is unpopular, the Democratic-Republican Party is deeply in debt to their aristocratic fantasies, the lack of a multi-party Democracy is glaring. Public and private laws need to be made to redistribute not more than 25% of major party revenues and at least 50% of PACs to minor parties. What do you think?

Rolling Back the Tobacco Tax of 2009

Whereas small cigars and roll-your-own tobacco are preferred by the 31 percent of tobacco smokers who are poor; And the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA, Public Law 111–3) Title VII Revenue Provisions Section 701 Increase in Excise Tax Rate on Tobacco Products, imposed a 2,653 percent tax increase on small cigars and 2,159 percent tax increase on roll-your-own tobacco;

And small cigarettes, large cigarettes, chewing tobacco, snuff, pipe tobacco, cigarette papers and cigarette tubes were subjected to a more reasonable 158 percent increase and large cigars a 155 percent increase and no floor tax.

Therefore this cruel and unusual excise tax is excessive; And consumers of small cigars and roll-your-own are due the equal protection of the clause 26USC(F)(65)(B) §6423(c); To the full extent of their loss; Calculated by dividing the excessive tax hike on small cigars and hand-rolling tobacco by the 158 percent, multiplying by the two years the excessive rate was in effect and rounding to the nearest whole integer, wherefore;

Small Cigars – Section 5701(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as codified at 27CFR(I)(40)(C)§40.21 is amended by striking $50.33 and inserting $1.828 with a footnote that states, “refunded at this tax rate for excessive CHIPRA hike of 2009-2010 until April 1, 2045”.

Roll-Your-Own Tobacco- Section 5701(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as codified at 27CFR(I)(40)(C)§40.25a is amended by striking $24.78 and inserting $1.0969 with a footnote that states, “refunded at this rate for excessive CHIPRA hike of 2009-2010 until April 1, 2038”.

And 100 percent of the proceeds of the Attorney Generals’ Master Tobacco Settlement shall be deposited in the Federal, State Children’s Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP) account. States, particularly those increasing rates 2009-2010, shall grant roll-your own and small cigar smokers refunds.

Taxpayers shall not be eligible for the rolled back to the March 31, 2009 tax rate of 2008 for our traditionally cheapest rolling tobacco and small cigars, until they can prove they have reduced wholesale and retail prices to what they were before the tax increase, allowing for a 3 percent inflation rate and any new state excise tax increases incurred 2009-2010.

To express better understanding the Uniform Surgeon General Warning Labels shall read – Nicotine withdrawal is a mental illness. Excessive smoking and addiction may irritate emphysema, cancer and heart disease and complicate pregnancy.

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau wrote to thank me for my opinion. I hope to read your comments on the excessiveness of the tobacco tax and this proposed excise tax refund to compensate the poor extortion victims.
