We are truly moving down the path of socialism. I really do not think Obama really cares that we are in a depression or very deep recession as much as he cares to move this country as far left as he can. He is following the religion of Socialism when he believes that government is the answer to everything. He wants Government control of the financial markets, total lifetime health care, control over all aspects of our lives. And oh by the way, he will raise taxes on only the very richest of us.
The trouble with this is that 50% of the people who earn over $250,000 are business owners that use their money to create the jobs. How can anyone think that by taking the very people that create jobs will create jobs. Crazy. I just read a book by Steve Forbes that discuss flat tax. It is apparent that most of the world is moving to that. It is also apparent that most of the world is moving away from centralized health care. Why?
I think it is because it doesn't work. It didn't work in the '30's in the Great Depreasion. It didn't work in the 70's, 80's 90's and it isn't working now. It seems that every time we have a down bump in the ecomomy the socialist want to increase government spending and raise taxes. Shouldn't we lower taxes so business has more money to create jobs? Why are we so against business and people getting rich. If we didn't have rich people, who would invest in the business to increase jobs. Not the government. They think providing money to government departments will create jobs. Obama was fond of saying that he will create the jobs. Government doesn't create anything, business does. It is time governement realizes it's work is to maintain the health of business, not kill it.
The good news is the stimulas package will not realy incur serious spending untill 2011 or beyond. We have time to elect strong consertive lawmakers who can bring sense to this can create an environment where business can flourish.
Until the next election, signing off.
