Responce to National Sales Tax

I have to agree with the latest post from Plain truth. I feel that a national sales tax could be the way out of our current situation. The taxation system is flawed and I personally am sick at tired of paying the way for everyone. I am a giving person, but only to those that really need it. They must be willing to help themselves first, then I don't mind helping to make the ends meet. A national sales tax sound as if the equality of taxation would be even and just. When we look at all the tax breaks companies and people get for stupid reasons I get so mad that I end up footing the bill. A fair and equal taxation of the people is what our founding fathers intended and it has evolved into a means of generating unfair taxation of the people to fund many unreasonable programs. For any who are interested read about the details of the Fair tax. I support it, because I want my kids to have afair chance.

Trimming the fat

I have been keeping up with the on going battle with the economy lattely and asking myself a few questions. What is the problem with balancing the budget? If this were any other company in the existence of business we would be homeless. It is as simple as bringing in more than you give out. Balancing the budget is a necessary plan that the federal government should be required to do every year. The states have to turn in an annual budget report before receiving any more federal aid, so why would the federal government not be also held to the same requirements. I also feel that the people have a right to know exactly how the money, our tax dollars, will be spent.
A few problems I have with the budget as a whole is the accountability of where the money goes and how it is spent. I understand how lawmakers have a lot of pet projects and such that they really would like to continue, but as my grandfather always taught me, if you can’t take care of yourself then you will never be able to help anyone else. We need to stop and analyze that statement for a minute. If the federal government would cut back on its spending, so that it could lower its deficit spending, then we could get back in the black, which would lead to the government eventually being able to spend surplus money on pet projects again. Baffling to the mind isn’t it.
The recent budget proposal from President Obama talks a lot about cutting spending from different area that a grossly inefficient. I thank this is absolutely wonderful, while we are at it we should cut some of the lawmakers salaries and salary budgets as well. They are the equivalent of the drowning CEO’s of the banking and finance industry right now. I really want our lawmakers to do a good job I just think that lately there are too many special programs and such going on that help the lobbyist and big companies instead of helping the American people. I mean I run a successful small business and if I spent any where near $600,000.00 to keep my staff I would be in the red too, and quickly. I love this country but the spending has got to stop. Let’s get back on track and encourage more small business and individuals to start business in the United States. This would help the economy by keeping more jobs here and encourage spending in the U.S. I know that it might be cheaper to build overseas but this is not smart business it is exploitation of the working class of other countries. Half of what goes on overseas would not be tolerated here. If you can’t afford to build it here then you should redesign your company plan to adjust for the changes.
