Make mine a Double!

In an interesting but not overly reassuring economic forecasting document I was privy to read this week, I read this dreary phrase; "The U.S. still faces the possibility of a 'double dip' recession that would begin in late 2010 or early 2011. Wow! How great is it to hear that our officials have spent billions just to send us into another recession. And on top of that, you hear whisperings of tax hikes! These people just don't understand, for whatever reason, that taking money out of the economy is not the way to fix it. And this supposed stimulus is not a stimulus. It is once again taking our money from us and giving it to someone else. I don't know about you but I didn't get a stimulus check this year personally, or for my business. I'm not the first to say it, and I know I won't be the last, but if you want to turn this around we need to keep the money in the actual system of business, not in the system of government. The people need to have it. The people need to spend it. The government can't take it and redistribute it at will to those of whom they please. If your business is to succeed you need capital. You need it to work, to produce, to hire and to succeed. If you are being taxed to death to try to create more government spending,(lets face it, taxes arent' going to pay off debt), then your business won't grow, or at least quickly. So please, we're begging you Mr. President, congress, and whoever is in the shadows controlling your moves, cut the taxes and let us continue to grow in wonderful capitalism and keep America strong and thriving. When you take our money supply, its like taking our oxygen, we will turn RED.
