Letter: Reduce, reduce, reduce
Friday, December 16, 2011
There are five things the government must do to create real productive private-sector jobs — all of which are vehemently opposed by liberals, progressives, communists, and radically left-wing Obama Democrats.
• Reduce overall taxes.
As John F. Kennedy wisely said, “The purpose of cutting taxes is to achieve a more prosperous expanding economy.”
• Reduce corporate taxes.
We have the second highest corporate taxes on Earth, forcing companies to move their operations, and American jobs, overseas.
• Reduce those 170,000 page, devastating, job-killing regulations that force American corporations and American jobs overseas.
• Secure our borders.
Millions of illegal aliens take jobs away from American workers — especially low-income workers.
• Eliminate the minimum wage.
This wage takes job opportunities away from disabled or low-skilled workers whose work is worth less than what employers are forced to pay them — and thereby keeping low-skilled workers permanently unemployed.
