TAX, TAX, TAX

We’ve all known they there is no way Obama could keep his rock solid promise not to raise taxes while he was spending, spending, spending. Now he wants to tax, tax, tax and the Democrats in Congress who are already in trouble over their health care votes are nervous, nervous, nervous. In fact, at least one Democrat is openly saying that they don’t care whether Pelosi likes them or not, they are voting FOR extending the Bush tax cuts for everyone.

What a quagmire the dirty rotten politicians got themselves, and us,  into.

To be fair, as we all know, the economic problems did not start with Obama. Nor did they start with Bush or Clinton; they started with Bush 1. But, Obama has not only continued with bad economic policy, he’s made things so bad that even his buddies on The Hill are hiding from him.

Now, what do we do? How do we fix this mess?

Let’s not forget that we have 17% or 18% of eligible Americans out of work. Yes, almost 10% on unemployment plus those who have exhausted their benefits plus those who have given up and quit looking. Foreclosures are at their highest rate since 1926. The economy, regardless of what the meathead in the White House is saying, is in a slump. Now, we’re out of money.

Is raising taxes the right answer under these circumstances?

If you want to see the economy jump start, employers to start hiring, foreclosures to come to a grinding halt and tax revenues take a startling hike, try these ideas on for size:

1. Cancel the new Health Care Plan.
2. Extend all Bush tax cuts.
3. Repay the treasury the unused stimulus funds.
4. Repay the treasury the repaid TARP money.
5. Extend the tax incentive for buying houses.
6. Put on a two-year tax break for interest on consumer interest charges.
7. Put on a two-year tax incentive for hiring additional employees.

Actually, I’m inclined to think that just firing Obama would be just as good as all of the above seven steps combined. There would be a huge jolt to the economy if we could get implement all eight ideas!

We, the people, did not create this mess. Washington created it. You know it and I know it. The Democrats, through their illustrious leader Barack Hussein Obama, have blown the problem way out of proportion and now they want us to pay for it. I say we should repay their imprudence by voting them all out in November. 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
