Jobs and Recovery

The government is working under a flawed premise. The government does not create wealth. People create wealth. Businesses create wealth. This country’s wealth and prosperity has come from the ingenuity and industry of its citizens. The government can only provide an atmosphere conducive to wealth creation. Right now business is frozen. No matter which way business turns it faces new taxes and regulations. Money is not available. The government has sucked up available funds with its insatiable spending.

The solution to our economic problems is not complicated. History has proven, over and over again, that these solutions work. They work for Democrats and they work for Republicans. The federal government needs to exercise some self-control and reduce its spending. The federal government needs to offer a stable, business friendly environment. If the government reduced individual, small business, and corporate taxes and loosened regulations, business and the economy would recover. As businesses recover new jobs are created.

The government is a poor creator of jobs. Infrastructure jobs are temporary jobs and the cost of each job is astronomical. True job growth can only come from the private sector. Small business is the engine of job creation. Currently the government is standing in the way of small and large businesses. The government needs to get out of the way and let the people correct our economic problems.

Signed,
The Electorate
