Berns to make 2010 Congressional race a 3 way.

Jim Berns of College Hill who is frequently seen around Cincinnati eating Chile at Skyline and Gold Star announce his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives First District saying “I think I will make it a 3 way”.

“I just had to enter the race. The thought of Steve Chabot and Steve Driehaus offering the same old stale ideas that don’t work was just too much for me to take” Berns said.

“They both support Economic Stimulus plans which have the Federal Government borrowing massive amounts of money to revive the economy. I don’t see how running up our debt so some bureaucrat can have a new Chevy will bring back jobs.

“They are Economic Poison Plans. Would Chabot and Driehaus offer an alcoholic another bottle of Jack Daniels to get him on the road to recovery?

My Economic Recovery Plan includes:

Replacing the Federal Reserve System with The Federal Monetary Stability Agency.
The Federal Monetary Stability Agency would maintain the value of the Dollar with 0 inflation. The Federal Reserve System has been stealing money from our savings, pay checks and retirement accounts for 60 years, it is time to stop that!

All Americans should support the Home Team by buying Made in the USA products. We support our sports teams, Olympians and School Athletic Associations we also need to support American Workers. I call for bigger Made in the USA stickers on U.S. made products and for retailers to have isles and displays featuring USA made products so it is easier for shoppers to find USA made products.

China needs to immediately become a trading partner by buying many more American Made Products. U.S. consumers buy 5 times as many China made products as the Chinese buy back. I have been to China twice and there are no USA made products on the shelves of their stores.

Too many U.S. citizens are in prison, especially young black men with an entrepreneurial spirit, who enter the business of selling drugs and end up in prison.
This must end. Drugs should be available either at State Stores or Pharmacies with a Doctors Prescription. The demand for these products will not go away. Farmers and U.S. companies might as well produce these commodities of know quality and concentration. Abuse programs should be paid for with taxes on the sales.

What I call Very Small Businesses should not have to report income or file returns on their enterprises if they gross less than $5000 per year, including for example: babysitting, lawn cutting, repair services, car washing, house cleaning, and cooking to name a few examples. Independent contractors do not need to report income under $5000 per year.

Cash earned from side jobs, barter exchanges, awards, prizes, contest winnings and gambling winnings up to $5000 should be tax exempt.

Businesses don’t pay taxes they only collect taxes from their customers and forward it to the government. Taxes on businesses should be eliminated.

Balanced Budget Amendment must pass. The Federal government should no longer be allowed to borrow allowing it to spend more than it takes in.

Disengage in Iraq and Afghanistan. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have nothing to do the strategic safety of the United States. The health of the United States economy is of strategic importance. The money wasted on these wars is needed to be spent here at home.

Drastic cuts in Military spending including spending on the bogus war on Terror.

Berns is 60 years old, works at the University of Cincinnati, DAAP as Shop Supervisor and is father to 9 children 8 of them adopted.

This is Berns 10th run for public office including runs for Cincinnati City Council, School Board, State Representative and twice for US Congress, once against Tom Luken and once against Steve Chabot.

Berns plans to seek the endorsement of the Libertarian Party.
