It's not Rocket Surgery

Indeed it is not Rocket Surgery, and you don't have to go to Harvard, Princeton, or Yale to know a basic tenant of economics 101. In a time of financial strain and economic woes you don’t, and I repeat, you do not raise taxes, you lower them and jump-start the economy. What? did these guys sleep all during their classes? Give me a break, or should that be give us a break? What are they think’n? raising taxes on corporations and people earning 250k and up? Who do they think run small businesses? Those people exactly. We all know corporations don’t pay taxes per-se`, they pass any increase in the cost of doing business along to the consumer, Hello, that would be you and I would it not? The answer to that question would be yes, ergo we, the consuming public end up paying more. Maybe on the surface it looks good to say one is going to raise taxes on the rich, but hold on there Nelly. The so-called rich are the ones who run our country's businesses, small and large, and they are the ones who create jobs. I have never worked for a poor person unless it was out of the goodness of my heart for charitable purposes. In general the people that need workers are the people that these taxes would impact the hardest.
I don’t want to see this country go into a full-blown recession and consequent depression by levying taxes and darkening the horizon at a time when we need the entrepreneurial spirit to shine. As I said before, think beyond the slick talk and empty promises and elect people who have shown they can do what is needed to, get-er-done.
