I think you have to take out the welfare recipients. That would mean that 93% of productive to somewhat productive Americans are working.
Bottom line folks, is that the majority of Americans are working.
What is needed is LESS government interference in the free markets, MORE incentives to invest and save, and that means less taxation.
Reagan said it best “when you want more of something, you subsidize it, when you want less of it, you tax it”, and what happened over the last eight years is that yes indeedy, we got some great tax cuts from the current Administration, but there was no corresponding fiscal responsibility and restraint as GWB turned into just as big a liberal big-spender as that other loser from Texas, LBJ.
Those are the facts.
