Jaymz you make some valid points regarding who will get elected next election cycle.
My whole point would be to validate my actual theroies would be based mostly on what Ron Paul says. I think that if the government backed off, especially when it came to taxation of buisness we would see ral job growth. I mean strictly speaking since we've moved most of our manufacturing off shore to allow for higher profits due to a lower tax rate, I think if we would bring things like that back, we'd see higher job growth. I mean take pittsburgh for example; most of the steel mills have shut down, which was once a huge gain of money based on exportatation and more jobs. Now these take place outside of the US with less government regulation as well as less taxation of the materials used. I mean if you were a CEO or president of a company and bottom lines and profits were in your best interest, what would you rather do? Pay the insane taxes as well as every other government regulation fee here in the US or outsource it and just pay the import tax. Bottom lines are effected and it would effect all aspects of the general econmy.
We won't see real actual job growth until we see less intervention of the government in certain aspects of our econmy. I mean the Fed is just printing money out of thin air leading to unatural inflation. This inflation and this debt based economy we're running isn't helping job growth at all. How are we as a country supposed to suceed when we can't produce anything? Or if it is, it's regulated down and micromanged to a point where we as the consumer would pay higher prices for it. Those higher taxes roll downhill. The company getting taxed passes those higher taxes to consumers. We end up paying for it in the long run.
I'm not saying no regulation or anything of the sort, but what I'm saying is that if there was less regulation we'd see a higher job field.
We import oil from other countries since it's what fuels everything, yet there is mass amounts of shale and other oil inside the US, but it's easier and cheaper for the companies involved to just buy it from other countries. OPEC is killing us, it's what's driving costs so much higher. Like said during the Gulf Oil spill, if BP wasn't required by law to drill so deep to have actual profits, the clean up would have been so much easier. Yet, government over regulation as well as the thousands of damn agencies required make it so much harder.
Then again, if we'd just stop being such an imperalistic war state, we'd have money hand over fist, but when most of our budget goes to being warmongers then well... it's our bed and we have to lie in it. Then again, I'd be all for the government getting out of most of the aspects of our life; marriage, education, the Dep of Energy, and most of the rest of the Departments that we all pay for that can't seem to get it right yet we still pay for each and every day in our taxes.
