hello america!!! call me a hater; call me an uncle tom; call me an idiot---i really don't care what you call me because the facts & the numbers back me up so, i can only wonder what that makes you &, i really don't care about that either. so, at the risk of pissing you off, let me get to it..........
if we had more people working, the fed gov't would collect more revenue---more revenue means that they would not have to borrow more money to pay their bills or for the services they now provide. they also would be able to pay down our national debt. so, in reality, jobs & our national debt go hand-in-hand. that said, obama is concentrating on raising the tax rates on those making $250,000 per year &, apparently you believe that's how we'll get out of this mess because you gave him a second term. how very wrong you are & here's why...........
obama just doesn't run the gov't like you run your home &, you can argue all you want but, if you lose your job, you cut back on your expenditures. sure, you might borrow a little here & there to make ends meet but, sooner or later, you know you'll have to stop the borrowing because, if you don't, the next job you get will be strictly to pay off the bills. you cut here, you cut there i.e; no more eating out, no more movie rentals, cut your cable bill back to basic, get rid of the car---you do what you have to while trying to make it to better days......
obama doesn't think like that. he continues to spend our money while refusing to make any cuts in spending. let's say he gets to raise the tax rates on the 1%'ers---that pays for the gov't to run for 8 lousy days. that's the easy part...now, we're faced with raising our national debt ceiling once again---guess we raise the gasoline tax to help out there. &, before you get your hopes up, that 'fiscal cliff' you keep hearing about is 31 days away---guess we can institute a mileage tax on car drivers to help pay for that.
our problem isn't in raising tax rates, our problem is spending combined with a lack of JOBS....
the new jobless claims number came out & it is 393,000. yeah, i know, we turned the corner. that's like the blind man telling the other man with no eyes at to 'look out'...check these jobless claims numbers out...
nov 1st, 363,000
nov 8th, 355,000---revised up to 361,000
nov 14th, 439,00---revised up to 451,000
nov 21st, 410,000---revised up to 416,000 &, there's today's
nov 29th, 393,000---which will be revised up next week &, please remember these figures are 1 week behind.......
anyway, from nov 8th-nov 29th we had 1,621,000 new jobless claims. the numbers released on dec 6th will complete the month of nov &, we'll be very close to two million new claims for the month of nov. if those people were working, the fed gov't would be receiving revenue from them in the form of taxes. local merchants would be receiving more business from them & paying their own fed taxes---loss of jobs affects us all across the board.
obama should be concentrating on putting america back to work instead of raising the tax rates on the 1%'ers that will end up filtering down to us.
still think i'm an idiot???
