Kelowna fires
Jay,
Just for the record (raising my right hand): 1)I am not a liberal and haven't resembled one since junior high school. 2)I don't favor cutting or raising taxes, but do see the need to deal with system issues. 3)I do not hold the liberal view that increasing purchasing power is a solution to anything and consider the idea utopian. Capitalist economies are driven by capital investment; consumer spending is derivative. 4)I do observe that cutting corporate taxes doesn't necessarily increase investment, to wit right now. Capital investment depends on the market conditions for durable goods, nationally and globally. 5)Most sadly, I do observe that commission sales folks are among those caught in the tightest bind during times like these. When times go bad they are prone to lash out at those who have ostensibly ruined their party, which is usually everyone but those who actually have political and economic control. Hitler built a movement around that sentiment and type of constituency. Pat Robertson aspires to it (but is too lightweight). Me, one thing I aspire to is to ski more efficiently this year, but am afraid that some shoulder(s) work might be in the offing. MRI Wednesday. Gene Jay Tegeder wrote: Gene, you're totally wrong. Read some of my other posts on this subject. You're a Berkely liberal from the fringe days of the 60s aren't you? Your view is obviously tainted. You can put a liberal/socialist spin on anything and you have managed to do it in this instance. Cut taxes, increase consumer purchasing power and investment. The founding fathers would have kissed your view of taxation goodbye. Maybe another tea party. Hey, I'm not a trust funder. I have to earn what I make. in fact, I get up every day and go out into the world with no pay guarantee. It's called commission sales. That's Straight commission. I had to build up a territory by going to work everyday. Unlike you, I know what the working people of the U.S. go through on a daily basis. I'm there first hand getting it from the people I deal with everyday. The majority of this newsgroup likely gets their understanding of the working person from the liberal media. Get out of your cloistered liberal existence and experience what really goes on in the world. I mean that to most everyone on this newsgroup. Jay Tegeder "I faders spar for framtids segrar" |
