People are sometimes afraid to upset the apple cart. But who is really kicking over the cart? Every dollar consumed by the government is one less dollar available for retail goods and services. Higher taxes prolong recessions and promote stagnation, lower taxes promote growth.

Who wins and who loses with higher taxes? Government, public sector employees, and connected firms win and every other citizen and every other business loses.

The public wins with lower taxes. There is more money available for necessities and discretionary spending. Families that value education will still benefit from the skills of teachers in public schools. Prison guards will still have high paying jobs as will law officers and fire fighters. Even politicians will still have high paying jobs. They’ll just have a little bit less of everyone else’s money to throw around.

I know that most readers here don’t need convincing. But we need to keep repeating the arguments for conservative government to keep up with the reckless broadcasters of today’s news and opinion. Now is not the time to be timid. Every citizen must do his share to bring responsibility to our government. Otherwise we are just letting someone else decide for us.

Absolutely but the people that would carry the ball in Sac,. the Pubs, are just a bunch of lightweights and in fact, because of safe seats, Dems will never really be challenged.
