Quantitative easing swiped our country’s credit card to give Wall Street the $40 trillion that is now our debt .#TheValentineConstitution

Quantitative easing put our nation $40 trillion in debt and costs us 22% of our budget annually just to pay the interest, all so Wall Street can keep cheating us. #TheValentineConstitution

The $40 trillion that quantitative easing gave Wall Street is now our national debt and costs us 22% of our budget annually just to pay the interest, and we still owe the $40 trillion! #TheValentineConstitution

Essentially Quantitative easing gave Wall Street $40 trillion for 5 million jobs. That’s $8 million per job! #TheValentineConstitution

#TheValentineConstitution prohibits big money from financing campaigns in return for legislation favorable to their companies.

For the $40 trillion in quantitative easing we gave Wall Street, we could have created 50 million jobs paying $100,000 per year for 8 years! #TheValentineConstitution

For the $40 trillion in quantitative easing we gave Wall Street, we could have created 25 million jobs paying $100,000 per year for 16 years! #TheValentineConstitution

The most important economic unit in any society is the working Citizen. Keep them hassle free and watch them succeed. Bog them down and you bog down your economy. #TheValentineConstitution

#TheValentineConstitution newly enfranchised worker/contractor has as much a right to keep an eye on the companies they work for as the companies to keep an eye on them.

#TheValentineConstitution makes each person will be a stand-alone business with assets and liabilities and contractual relationships whose basic principles we all agree to.

#TheValentineConstitution rewards merit and penalizes cheaters.

In the eyes of the law each Citizen will have equal power and be responsible for fulfilling their contracted responsibilities. #TheValentineConstitution

#TheValentineConstitution prohibits multinational corporations from having more power than individual Citizens, and backs it up in numerous provisions.

#TheValentineConstitution puts individuals on the same footing as big businesses, allowing Citizens to produce products and provide services in direct competition with big companies in our marketplace.

Each Citizen will be individually accountable for any wrong or good they do regardless of their position #TheValentineConstitution

Today the playing field is hardly level. Corporations have most of the power. It’s not capitalism unless there’s competition and a level playing field. #TheValentineConstitution

CEOs will no longer be able to pass responsibility off onto the company. #TheValentineConstitution

The relationship between the worker and employer will be business to business with neither having more power. #TheValentineConstitution

IPOs Open to the Public

 #TheValentineConstitution encourages Wall Street’s true purpose of financing businesses and providing Citizens with a safe place to invest.

#TheValentineConstitution is good for Main Street and for fundamental Wall Street, and all Citizens and entities will be equal in power.

#TheValentineConstitution puts the Citizen on an equal financial footing with corporations and companies to create a truly level capitalist playing field.

#TheValentineConstitution is good for the middle class, and good for a fundamentals based Wall Street.

Shareholder Votes Are Binding

#TheValentineConstitution makes shareholder votes binding giving shareholders an incentive to scrutinize company affairs, root out corruption and enforce ethics.

Who better to decide whether a given CEO is overpaid than the shareholder? #TheValentineConstitution

Who better to scrutinize company affairs than shareholders with direct stake in the outcome? #TheValentineConstitution

#TheValentineConstitution makes shareholder votes binding since the shareholders own the company.

Today shareholder votes are nonbinding, giving shareholders no incentive to vote on anything, when it is the shareholders who own the company. #TheValentineConstitution

Today shareholders are given no say in CEO pay, and little say in how a company is run or what it does! #TheValentineConstitution

This rule does not apply to privately owned companies since they are not publicly traded. #TheValentineConstitution

CEOs of publicly traded companies are paid (rewarded) even when losing their shareholder’s money and laying off workers. #TheValentineConstitution

Since they are often paid in stock, CEOs buy back stock to increase their own worth when another use of that capital may be of more value to the company. #TheValentineConstitution

CEOs often sit on each other’s boards and vote each other pay increases. #TheValentineConstitution

No Monopolies

#TheValentineConstitution limits monopolies to 25% by sector, market and geographic region, or less if able to raise prices beyond what would be charged in a competitive environment.

The Supreme Court defines monopoly market power as “the ability to raise prices above what would be charged in a competitive market without the monopoly power”. #TheValentineConstitution

The Supreme Court’s definition is limited to price when today monopoly is as much about reach. The 25% limitation is limited to size when today monopoly is as much about price. #TheValentineConstitution

Most economists and nearly all of the literature suggests that 25% is the magic monopoly threshold. #TheValentineConstitution

If Citizens want a specific monopoly, they can secure it with a majority vote. #TheValentineConstitution

#TheValentineConstitution rewards innovation in new products and services that keep America competitive on the world markets, and penalizes monopolies that stifle competition.

#TheValentineConstitution allows new innovations to reap enough monopolistic rewards to encourage more capital investment in innovations which create jobs, enhance exports, and improve our trade balance.

#TheValentineConstitution prohibits the manipulation of markets to enrich only a handful of greed mongers.

#TheValentineConstitution establishes a clearer and more comprehensive definition of monopoly, ensures that antitrust law will be enforced, yet maintains the protections necessary to encourage investment.

#TheValentineConstitution adds variables of scale while coupling both the generally accepted 25% size limitation and the generally accepted Supreme Court price limitation.

The Supreme Court’s definition of monopoly power is too open-ended, time-dependent and is unscaled. #TheValentineConstitution

The generally accepted 25% definition of monopoly power fails to consider regional or community monopoly power and the realities of today’s small businesses who create 85% of our jobs. #TheValentineConstitution

#TheValentineConstitution prohibits monopolies that manipulate markets and jobs to enrich only a handful of greed mongers.

#TheValentineConstitution applies the generally accepted 25% size limitation to sector, market and geographic region, then adds the generally accepted Supreme Court competitive price limitation.

No Bankruptcy

If you spent it, you owe it, and others will no longer be made to bail you out. #TheValentineConstitution

The costs of all bankruptcies are sprinkled throughout our economy, like the costs of theft, 10% per year in retail. #TheValentineConstitution

The hard working Citizens who drag themselves to and from work, and pay for what they take, will no longer bear the costs of bankruptcy for the irresponsible few. #TheValentineConstitution

Good Citizens could go on vacation with the 10% bankrupt people steal from them each year. #TheValentineConstitution

Company owners now spend investors’ hard earned money, live large, act important, have fun, then leave their investors with nothing and stick taxpayers with the bill! #TheValentineConstitution

#TheValentineConstitution penalizes those who destabilize our society by spending beyond their means.

Those engaged in bankruptcy disrespect their fellow Citizens by pawning their debts off on society. #TheValentineConstitution

Whether it’s a company taking too many risks or an individual putting too much on their credit card, these selfish people encourage others to do the same. #TheValentineConstitution

#TheValentineConstitution prohibits bankruptcy by any company or person.

These takers who simply declare bankruptcy or settle at twenty cents on the dollar, send a message to their friends who are then more likely to do it themselves. #TheValentineConstitution

#TheValentineConstitution will make them pay it all back with interest discouraging everyone from spending beyond their means.

The hard working people of America will no longer bail out selfish people who overdraft their credit cards or checking accounts or lines of credit and then expect someone else to pay for it. #TheValentineConstitution

It’s not America’s obligation to bail out kids who took out student loans. They got to go to college, we didn’t. #TheValentineConstitution

Citizens who didn’t go to college should not have to pay the loans of those who did. #TheValentineConstitution

Hot shot entrepreneurs will NOT be let off the hook when losing their investors’ money. #TheValentineConstitution

Don’t let technical mumbo jumbo fool you, derivatives are gambling and what crashed our economy. #TheValentineConstitution

Today the kings and queens of Wall Street are rewarded for making things bad for the rest of us, creating problems, then making money off of it. #TheValentineConstitution

Psychotic, greed-addicted Wall Street elites own our politicians for the price of a campaign contribution. Ratify # TheValentineConstitution.

No High Frequency Trading

#TheValentineConstitution prohibits high frequency trading.

High frequency trading is a lock-out monopoly since only those who can afford the fastest, most expensive computer systems can win those trades. #TheValentineConstitution

Addicted, psychopathic high frequency traders are convinced that a strong American dollar is NOT in our best interests since it allows them to make more money.

#TheValentineConstitution prohibits the capitalism killing practice of high frequency trading.

#TheValentineConstitution prohibits the very few from making a ton of money for producing nothing but distress in financial markets.

#TheValentineConstitution ensures that high frequency trading is not practiced on any stock market exchange anywhere.

#TheValentineConstitution brings stability, discipline, wisdom, long term investing, conservative principles, and sound fundamentals back to our American marketplace and stock exchanges.

#TheValentineConstitution salvages Wall Street’s true purpose of financing businesses and creating new jobs, products and services, dividends for investors, innovations, positive foreign trade balances, and a strong American dollar.
