So we will very soon be in the throws of a hardcore political season as the primaries start in just over a month.
To everyone out there please vote for the people you think will do the most good. Please look at what they have done thus far before you vote.
I have been a registered Republican for my entire voting life and I am sickened by the crap that is going on in Washington. No one at all should be surprised that nothing has gotten better. We have a pretty fair sized group that have stated that their sole purpose is to see to it that President Obama is a one term president. That is it. They have no interest in the country. They want the White House back in Republican hands.
There was a time that I would have wanted the White House in Republican hands as well but the latest crop of “Republicans” scare the hell out of me. I am not a big fan of taxes but under the circumstances we need to raise them to a point. We also need to cut spending dramatically but we can not, under any circumstances, cut taxes with the deficit that we are running.
At this point we do not need to raise taxes for new spending so much as we do pay for stuff we already bought.
We need to get companies to hire more and pay higher wages. The folks on Wall street who have never looked further than tomorrow will scream about that but think about it. People get hired and have paychecks and pay taxes. People in some cases get higher pay and pay taxes. And the brilliant thing about this is that they will also start spending money, which hikes the economy and companies are making more money again.
I don’t think it has occurred to many companies that if people keep getting paid less and getting laid off, at some there will not be many people to buy their products. See what Wall Street has to say to you when that happens.
