The government should never, NEVER, have a surplus, nor for that matter a debt.
Debt spending is the result of the acceptance and adherence of our government to the failed Keynsian model. The problem with the current Congress is that despite the tax cuts, they have not followed through with spending cuts. The answer far too often for government is to throw money at the problem rather than try to solve the problem through other resources.
It amazes me that I am far from rich, yet I enjoy the benefits of the tax cuts enacted by this administration. My share might be meager, but I really value the fact that I can enjoy more of the money I earn through hard work.
Everytime time a discussion about tax cuts come up we have to hear the same mantra from the left.....Tax cuts for the rich. Well, we have a progressive tax system, when tax cuts are enacted are they not progressive also??? Perhaps the left doesn't understand this yet, or maybe they are just too damn dumb to ever understand it.
dmk | The dem leaders understand it. Their minions are the ones who are dumb and don't understand it. Just like their minions don't understand the dem leaders cry for raising the minimum wage. Their minions think the dem leaders are looking out for the little guy. Nothing could be further from the truth. Here is the truth....
Dem leaders cry for raising the minimum wage and their rallying cry is to give a higher living wage to those who are living on minimum wage. When you raise the minimum wage, small businesses suffer first. That is the small guy who is trying to be an entrepraneur. So we see the dems aren't really for the small guy. Then prices rise everytime there is a minimum wage hike so the very person they claim they are trying to help is right back where they were. Another big reason the dems cry for a hike in the minimum wage is because of the unions who for the most part back democrat candidates. Most unions have it in their contracts that if the minimum wage rises, then their wages rise accordingly.
Nothing but a con game and the dumb little democrat minions fall for it and parrot it. |
