Issue One: The economic well being of this nation is a simple thing to fix. Shoot the socialists so they don't come around every four years to try and destroy the nation. Mao Tze Tung shot all the business owners in 1949 during the Red Revolution, because he knew that they could never live under communism. That worked for a while. Fifty years later they found capitalism.
Why do we not understand that our enemies in Washington think this way and would place this nation under fifty years of poverty and socialism until we fight our way out of it and live under capitalism once again.
Now, since no one has the guts to actually fix the problem, you then must first elect conservatives, who like the Socialists understand the basic principles of capitalism, but intend on using it for the benefit of the nation.
First thing is to cut government spending to departments that aren't approved by the constitution. That means the end of Czars, Depts of Education, Energy and the Dept of Stupidity. To want Socialism is either criminal or ignorant, depends on the intent of the Socialist.
Second, initiate a simplified flat tax system per the 16th Amendment, that does not cost $857 billion a year to comply with. Say goodbye to the IRS and H & R Block and all the money they send to lobbyists to change the tax code every year for their own purpose to defraud the American people out of their hard earned dollars.
Three, levy a National Sales tax of say 1% on all goods and services to be used only to pay down on the Federal Debt. Once the debt is paid off the tax ends. Like in business there is current operations and old debt, both have to be taken care of and managed. One to grow and one to go away.
With an economic boom from lower taxes, less government and less regulation, the economy will grow and help us pay down our debt faster and reduce interest which then allows for more money to be paid down on the debt until it is gone.
Let the American people be free to succeed as best they can, by removing the burdens placed on them by the Federal Government. Watch these next to videos to get a feel for how bad things are financially.
