Don't ever argue with the Big Dog because the Big Dog is always right" Fri, 09 Jan 2009 01:55:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Reason http://www.onebigdog.net/obama-panders-to-elderly-with-tax-scheme/comment-page-1/#comment-122502 Reason Tue, 12 Aug 2008 17:36:58 +0000 http://www.onebigdog.net/?p=3819#comment-122502 My father always says (his father told him) that there are only two ways to have more money, earn more (raise taxes) or spend less (cut spending). Our government and those in it would do well to remember this, we need to cut spending and ease the tax burden on the American populace. I find it funny how Democrats think letting Americans have back some of their tax money in the form of a "stimulus package" (and some wealth redistribution to boot) is good for them and the economy yet seem to be unable to make that leap of logic that letting them keep that money in the first place through low taxes is also a good thing. More money in the American people's pocket means more investment, more jobs, more goods & services purchased, and as a side effect more government revenue through existing taxes. Really though the spending of Government needs to be curtailed drastically. Dead weight workers need to be let go (like the guys that play cards for 4 hours a day and get paid six figure salaries). Fiscal policies need to be revamped to encourage department to operate efficiently and not go on spending sprees at the end of the year. Sadly our politicians won't do this.
