QED

[Sybeck1]

We raise the minimum wage and unemployment sky rockets......

[shankbear]

Tax reduction works.

[TheBattman]

* Reduce federal tax receipts over five years by roughly $670 billion.

We can do what The One wants - trillions of dollars in "public works projects" and bailout money - and we will still have a recession. Or we can just cut taxes across the board, swallow $700 billion in revenue shortfall, but then be out of this recession far quicker - with the power of the free markets and without our system not even further into the socialist sewer.

But which do you think The One prefers...

On taxes: change to a flat 9% tax on all personal earned incomes with no deductions, no exemptions. Remove all business taxes.
Get out of the way.

When in a hole stop digging, there is a lot of digging in this story.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Reducing all tax rates creates an incentive for people to work harder and longer because they keep more fruits of their labor.

Handing out “free” money to failed enterprises only prolongs their agony and encourages more of the bad behavior that led to the failure in the first place. The walking wounded should be shot dead so the survivors can get on with their lives and prosper.

This is not rocket science, just human nature.
