Whereas we the people of the United States of America are grown weary of a Congress that passes laws to spend taxpayer money in frivolous and perverted ways without even reading the bills that they make law,

Whereas we the people no longer have any true representation to protect and use wisely the hard earned monies now being seized or simply printed out of thin air by orders of the House of Representatives, the United States Senate, the Presidency, in what amounts to confiscation by inflation,

And whereas the monetary policies of the nation are being manipulated by the artificial expansion and contraction of credit causing bubbles and bursts of economic solvency and the profiteering of international alien bankers, known as the Federal Reserve Bank, with the full knowledge and complicity of the Federal Government,

And whereas the entire Federal Government, the Executive and Legislative and Judicial branches are in collusion with Big Business Enterprises, Big Financial Concerns, and Big Labor Interests, and are practicing and pursuing progressive policies that are patently imprudent, fiscally irresponsible, and oppressive to the average American and destructive to the Small Businesses that make up the heart of our economic system; and showing a wanton disregard for the liberty that was and is the purpose and exceptional trademark of our founding as a nation,

We the People demand the instituting of a Law to be called the Goose and Gander Amendment. It states that:

Any attempt by the Federal Government to coerce any radical and progressive movement that nationalizes or exerts undue control over any major portion of the American Economy to be defined as any sector that comprises more than 0.5 % of the GDP, or to exercise any control beyond necessary oversight of any industry, it will be met with and tried by the Goose and Gander Test.

Since the government can no longer be trusted to represent prudently the best interests of the governed, should the Federal Government attempt to manipulate an industry for the supposed "People's Welfare" it must first apply its proposed regulations on itself as a proof and a study of the efficacy of its purposes, so that all the People can see it work before it simply establishes itself as another undue Goliath of a burden on private Americans.

For instance, the current proposed Health Care Initiative must first be applied to all Federal Employees including the Congress and those working for the Judicial Branch and those working for the Executive, including the President and all staff members, and all Justices of the Supreme Court. If the Government sees the need for a larger sample in order to prove its case to the American People, by whom they are employed, it may then apply its experiment on Large Labor Unions, Large Corporations, Large Media Corporations and Wall Street Financial Concerns in that order before it has any prerogative on the interests of ordinary Americans employed by or pursuing Small Business. And it must take precautions to ensure that it cannot destroy those interests in the process.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander, Nancy, Harry, Barry, Rahm, Timmy, and Joe!
