re: "Have you heard about how Gov. Walker promised to created 250,000 jobs? Instead he cut taxes for the rich & was the ONLY state to LOSE Jobs."
If that's true, then voters should hold Scott Walker accountable in the next election - as they should with every other politician who is wrecking the economy.
What was the period during which Walker was the only governor to "lose jobs"? Your statement is pretty hard to verify without knowing that.
The thing to remember, clo, is that there aren't very many "rich." Lowering their taxes isn't going to improve the job situation by much unless the action is accompanied with other, across-the-board tax decreases.
My beef with taxes has never been that they need to be lowered for the rich. They need to be lowered for everyone. And not in a token way, either.
We have very little need for government in this country. It is a parasite, a sickness, with a voracious appetite and a desire to grow forever, consuming everything and everyone in its path. Its worst characteristic by far is its tendency to make citizens dependent, removing their ability, desire and confidence to ever become self sufficient. That's why I call it a sickness. The minds of its victims are the first things that go.
The United States became the most successful nation the world had ever seen because it was understood that government had to be MINIMIZED and LIMITED, not maximized. Now that that lesson has been forgotten, we're experiencing a long, downhill slide.
I wish I could say things will get better one day, but I'm afraid the disease we've got is terminal. Our best hopes are to slow it down, delaying the inevitable, or to accelerate the process, hit rock bottom and start anew.
I would actually be better off with the latter... since I'm relatively prepared for it. But it will kill millions of people, so Americans as a whole are going to be better off if the process is slowed. I think that will probably happen, but it means we're in for decades of utter misery.
