Important business principle: You cannot cost-cut your way into prosperity. Set about making money, not saving it.

Was it Reagan or Rush that said no country ever taxed its way to prosperity?

Was it Reagan or Rush that said no country ever taxed its way to prosperity?

That's because of a fact that way too many politicians don't understand:

The Government only consumes. It produces nothing. Taxes are a pure, 100% economic loss.

The worst example of this ignorance was the politician--wish I had the name and cite--who said he thought everyone should work for the government!
