Capital gains tax, stupid regs, IRS, OSHA, EPA, misc regulators from hell...
The first law of economics and the fundamental dynamic of prosperity, success and growth is give and it shall be given unto you. Contribute. Produce value. Simple and obvious. Create value and grow. Grow as you create value. Create. Produce. Give to the world. Your time talents, energy, capital. Create, work, produce, invest. Give.
Unfortunately many millions of people have been enabled and encouraged to survive by pursuing a course counter to the prosperity dynamic. As true as growth and prosperity through creating value is, so is the opposite. Continually demand that you be given more and you will never have enough. Never.
Most of what the government now does enables people to survive by taking and consuming rather than producing, giving and growing. It is a very clear choice between growing or stagnating. Thriving or struggling to survive. This trend has been progressively accelerating over the past several decades with predictable results. Struggle and hardship that is becoming more widespread, despair, anger and envy.
But there is an upside. Politicians have been able to acquire and maintain power by selling voters this bill of good. This is total insanity. How can people so deceived as to believe that they can grow and prosper by taking and consuming rather than producing and offering.?
The only hope is not more of the same but a radical reversal of course. 180 degree turn. So very simple. Contribute and it shall be given unto you.
Numero 3 is the most important. Too many regulations and the small banks which finance small business are going extinct.
Couple that with the 29 hour work week, 92 million unemployed, and the highest corporate tax rate in the world and guess what? It sucks to be us.
Translation: We got too fat, dumb and happy.
Taxes from hell, a break down of goldy morality and traditions. In a nutshell.
In this century, economic growth has averaged 1.9 percent per year—down from the 3.4 percent the prior two decades
I would LOVE to see one of these financial morons demonstrate this, my only requirement is that you SUBTRACT GOVERNMENT DEFICIT SPENDING before doing your calculations.
1. A too-complex income tax system that doesn't reward savings and capital investment (unless you're willing to hire someone to find every loophole in the tax law)?
2. Too many complicated business regulations that have hampered the growth of business here?
Fix these two and watch the US economy zoom through the roof (and "float the boat" of other economies around the world) along with it.
...Because, there are too many within our country who HATE our country. And, many of these haters are in charge, elected or not...and those who don’t hate the country, are aiding and abetting the enemy by not doing anything about it. E.g., Boehner, Gowdy (yes, Gowdy, the fraud), McConnell, the list goes on.
Singapore is business friendly, low taxes, no food stamps, no unemployment compensation, no free stuff. Guess what it is prosperous, every 6th citizen is a millionaire, and has 40% more jobs than citizens. Those excess jobs are filled by foreign workers on 2 year work-visa’s.
Building small homes and small shops for new manufacturing starts and building skills has been effectively outlawed by the pensioned NIMBYs, their associates in state and local government offices, fees, etc.
I blame it on the corporate oligarchy/free traitor lobby.
Ship millions of jobs overseas all in the quest to make a quick buck, and set up the US job market to fail, through manipulation solely to make it fail, as an excuse to move our economy off shore.
People don’t realize just how little we actually produce here in the US compared to what we used to just a short time ago.
Our exports look like a third world shpping manifest. Grain, lumber, oil, and scrap metal.
Major firms like Apple and Microsoft are just sales and marketing firms in the US. They build nothing in the US.
If china were to cut off trade to the US tomorrow, the US would be totally screwed.
Don’t beleive me. Go into a hardware store or an industrial parts supplier,
and try to buy a part that wasn’t made in red china, and see how that work’s lut cor you.
All the reasons given are actually symptoms of a criminal communist govt conspiring to turn the country into a maleable sewer of humanity. The worst of the worst are welcomed here with open arms and a pre-filled out voter registration form. A country with the demographics of a ticket counter at JFK airport isn’t the good thing we’ve all been told it is.
On “education,” those who want to make something useful will learn from books, low-cost trade schools and their own experiences. An overly expensive degree in practiced pathologies of the sick establishment is not the way (feminism, homosexualism, pretended animal worship for shutting down potential competition, feigning of exaggerated sensitivities,...).
The government is the enemy.
