Your ideas of how to grow the economy are too late. We are a service economy. We simply pass money amongst ourselves. We produce little to sell overseas so increasing our GDP is more difficult than saying so. You will need to bring industry back to the US-like the steel industry, agri. business, textiles, etc. Next, getting more people to work is fine, but why not tax those who currently do not pay taxes right now. If their welfare is being taxed, they may want to get a real job. Just a thought. Taxing welfare and all the gimmies gov’t gives in the form of redistribution will increase gov’t coffers.

How come nobody is pushing for a wealth tax. Instead of taxing the income of the “rich” tax their wealth-their assets and make it progressive. Look most of the truly wealthy are progs anyway so why are we protecting their money; they end up giving it to Dems. And if you must tax income why not exempt business owners who employ less than 50 employees. We are cutting off our noses to spite our faces. How about taxing union dues, 527-giving, political spending, punitive awards from class action suits, and institute an entertainment tax to get Hollyweird and the NBA/NFL more involved with helping the poor don’t cha know.

How come no talk of abolshing base line gov’t spending? How come nobody is pushing to end so many departments??? There are plenty of things we, the right, could be saying and doing, but with our leaders (Boehner, McLame, etc) we never will.
