Jobs are Priority #1!
In 1920s President Harding faced unemployment numbers doubling from 2.1 million to 4.9 million, excessive governmental interference in the market creating a 24% plunging gross national product, and $25B national debt. By taking a hard stance, he reduced government spending in half, cut taxes, and watched unemployment numbers drop to a low of 1.8% in 1926. (Not-So-Great Depression by Jim Powell)
Today we face similar problems the country faced at the beginning of Harding's administration. Unfortunately Congress continues to pass legislation creating more government jobs, increasing the national debt and the burden on tax payers. Businesses have frozen plans for growth because the uncertainty of future costs of hiring an individual.
We need to follow Harding's example. To create jobs and reduce unemployment we must take two simultaneous steps NOW: cut taxes and cut government spending! We can kick-start the economy by abolishing the capital gains tax and the inheritance tax. This will keep the money in the hands of the consumers and businesses giving them the freedom to choose their own path forward. A simultaneous cut in government spending, and not just a freeze, will free-up revenue to pay off the ever growing national debt.
The road ahead is tough and Americans do not back down from challenges! Now is the time for action - cut taxes and cut spending. Place into office candidates willing to lead Americans down the tough road. We can and will get through this together.
Fiscal Conservatism in Action!
Have you heard about Governor Christie of New Jersey's ambitious plan to balance his state's budget? He is making the tough choices to get New Jersey's state spending in check without increasing taxes. Way to Go Governor Christie!
