We need to have a stable tax that doesn’t waffle every time the wind changes direction. Businesses are not going to make long term investments when they can’t see the freight train coming around the corner. They can encourage banks to lend all they want, but when taxes are subject to rapid change, can be backdated by the taxman, forget about any economic recovery.
Government spending must be below 75% of revenue to stop the hemorrhaging. The politicians are drugged up and out of their mind with spending. Just one more fix and we’ll get clean tomorrow,
We must return all government powers to the states except for National Security. We can no longer be a piggy-bank for the dictatorships and other governments of the world through the United Nations and through a century-old failed foreign policy. We must protect our currency now that we are off the gold standard. The progressives (liberals, Democrats) have no standards. We must individualize our retirement programs through forced savings programs like IRAs and 401's. Social Security Administration is a failure and criminal PONZI scheme. Federal employee retirement programs must be limited to money set aside during working years (that includes the military) in the form of a balloon payment.
You all know there is an upside to all this tax bickering and deficit spending, don’t you?
It will accelerate FairTax implementation.
That’s right! Congressional and administration fools will become desperate to figure out a way to cause the economy to rebound after all their machinations fail (as they surely will), and they will turn to the FairTax to solve our economic problems.
And we all know the FairTax will do just that, don’t we?
