Why not try something simple, for one year put a hold on Income Tax and Social Security for indivuales,which would not cost any more than we are doing. Maybe then we could pay our house paments, pay for our health care, and put
groceries on the table. Of course this would not require any more goverment jobs and we could decide how best to spend our own Money. But probably Washington don’t trust us to choose our own priorties?

I heard a funny joke the other day. It had to do with a medium sized company that was undergoing some really hard times and needed to cut 10% of the workforce in order to stay afloat. This was a result of the tax increases Obama promised us in his campaign (the one promise he kept!). The owner had a tough decision to make in determining who would be let go. He asked for volunteers, offered severance packages and still had no takers. He decided he would have to make the tough call himself. Thinking long and hard about who he would cut, he decided to walk outside to the employee parking lot and look for Obama bumper stickers. This made his decision MUCH easier. Haha.

One more thing to mention, in the campaign Obama liked to brag about his understanding of economics (and imply that McCain was ignorant). He even bragged several times about how Warren Buffet supports him. I would give anything if I could talk to Warren Buffet and get his opinion about what he thinks of this administration’s economic policies now. He didn’t get where he is today by following these same beliefs, I’m sure. The problem the way I see it is that this administration and the democrats in general have no common sense when it comes to the economy. They love to blame Bush. I am tired of hearing “we inherited this mess”. They seem to forget that they have now been in control of Congress for 3 years. If you look at the economic decline, it really happened under “their” watch.

The stimulus package hasn’t created many jobs because the money was given to the pet projects that had nothing to do with job creation. It was sold to America as a job stimulus bill, but we now know the truth. Now I hear that some democrats want another stimulus bill. Do they not realize what this added debt does to our economy? It’s time to wake up America!

First off, I suggest that many more prisons be bulit. We need more. I and many many peeople I know, have made a pact that we will go to prison rather than be forced to buy healt insurance. If that’s what Botox Nancy wants–thats what she gets–many people in prison. Secomd; I will not pay for abortions. We will go off the gris and be paid in CASH and purchase evrything in cash, effectively having no income to tax. Thirdly, the O administration is aligned with communism platforms–try comparing the policies vs the communist planks-Course that would yake soem objectivity and yes reading.

Democrats put more money into jobs. Private business is penalized for not allowing employees to have government insurance. Taxes are increased to pay for the money jobs. Private companies lay off workers because the government is penalizing them for not giving employees government insurance. Increased taxes on private companies makes them close doors. Taxes on all federal government employees and newspaper employees should be increased to 85 percent. Everything is fixed now.

Let’s see, who creates better jobs, the public sector, the Government, or private sector. Gee, that one is hard.

The public sector jobs do not produce revenue, they only create a drain on the economy.
Private sector jobs produce something. The small private sector employer is the backbone of this country, but this administration is hell bent on destroying it.

When you heap tax after tax onto the small business owner, you kill jobs.

Make it easier for business to do business.

Cut capital gains tax, increase the amount a company can deduct for the cost of doing business.
Take away tax breaks for companies that are over seas – I know this seems counter-intuitive, but if a company moves off shore, they hurt the US.

Give companies tax breaks and encourage them to support their employees.

AND GET THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF PRIVATE BUSINESS. Public/private ventures are not money makers. The government will demand control.

Please, Obama and his boys/girls have never held a job outside of some “make work and get paid” something…community organizer. They think the gov’t really does create jobs…..jobs that actually do something useful, pay taxes, etc. rather than the pencil pushers. Even if they could create jobs, they cannot identify specifically which jobs were created, where they are and how many of them there are. As I’ve said before, there is no vaccine for stupidity. It’s bone deep and obvious.

Chris Broe: Nope…She makes the same dumb comments with no justification or evidence that she has always made.
