2003 is Remembered Quite Well

The proposal (to cut tax rates) should do more to help restore investor confidence and the vitality of American businesses than any other proposal we have seen in many decades.
Sure enough, economics 101 worked like a charm. The improved incentives immediately propelled the U.S. economy forward. Over the following fifty-four months more than 8.2 million jobs were created in this country. And during that time frame U.S. non-farm payroll headcounts increased from just under 130 million to just over 138 million.
Oddly, President Obama would give away his golf club set for this kind of job creation right now. So, the question is this: Will he learn from history and cut businesses a break? It won't happen. Based on what we saw at his press conference today, just the opposite is in store if the president gets his way.
You see, the president doesn't care as much about how jobs are created as he does about how much income he can redirect away from job creators. And today he re-iterated his view that the only way out of an economic downturn (like the one we were facing in 2003 and again now) is to tax our way out of it. It seems that he is content to remain woefully uninformed on how the basic laws of economics work. It is going to cost all of us (including him).

The Consent of the Governed
Michael and Conrad |
The most important duty we have as Americans is to ensure our Constitution is not perverted since it is the rule book for our government. Alas, the power the government has over citizens has increased over the years outside of the method prescribed in the Constitution. At all times each citizen must consent to be governed if we are to live in a free society. Without our consent there is no legitimate government. We must decide when we will and will not give our consent.
George III |
It would be easier if we could meet on a battlefield, an army of Constitution defenders against those who seek to bind our citizens. Instead we must meet in battle often one citizen at a time confronting those in the government. That is our battle line. Our leaders are our leaders until we no longer consent for them to govern us.
Lately it appears the leaders of both parties are leading us to destruction. They are ignoring the financial implications of spending vast sums of money far beyond the wealth of our country and citizens. And, they are trying to spend even more wealth we do not have.
We have an economy that produces about $2.2 trillion a year in tax revenue while our government is spending about $3.5 trillion. Worse, the promises made by politicians to fully fund Medicare, Social Security and other “entitlements” adds up to more than $200 trillion. Consider: it would take all of our tax revenue for 100 years to pay for what has been promised to citizens today. Can our country actually fulfill those promises? No, it is not possible. Know this: it is not if we will default on our promises, only when.
