So, the democrat’s economic plan stinks; is the republican plan smell better???

The Democratic plan for America (as stated in post1) is a flawed and dangerous plan. The plan of Barrack Obama and Congressional leaders like the extreme Nancy Pelosi will lead this country down a dark path of large government, struggling businesses, and socialism. If the election goes how the media says it’s going to go, it will be a big day for the Democratic Party and a sad day for America. Democrats will control the house and senate, with possibly enough seats to prevent a Republican filibuster; they would control a majority of the state legislatures and many governor positions as well. They would be able to rein supreme, unchecked, with no one to really stop them from turning their “agenda” into law.
The democratic agenda will hurt small business, it will hurt big business, it will take away from the American people who have worked hard to find economic success, those who pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and achieved the American dream. Barrack Obama’s tax plan of “spreading the wealth around” is a plan that completely undermines the American way. All his plan does is increase the people’s need and reliance for government. It makes the government more powerful, which is something our forefather’s did not intend for. Obama will increase welfare; he will tax business, both large and small, which will result in job losses. Those who have lost their jobs will look to the government for help, either via welfare, unemployment or etc. And don’t worry, Obama will be there, with his pen in hand and a warm smile on his face, writing check after check for all who need. But who has to pay for these checks, the working man of course. The people who try to make a living, try to make money, try to better themselves and actually find success will have to take their hard earned money and give it to the government to redistribute, pure socialism , like the old saying goes “Republicans—Working hard so you don’t have to.”
Whenever a person goes into debt to someone, the person they are indebted to has power and influence over that person. Because of the Democratic plan, led by Barrack Obama (if indeed he is elected), The American people will go into debt to the US government and the democratic plan offers no hope for them to escape and move up the economic ladder. They will be enslaved, held in bondage to the power and allure of the government money they receive. “Man is not free unless government is limited.” Said Ronald Reagan, and with the Democrats in power, government will grow and our independence and rights as free men could slowly be replaced with more and more centralized government, regulation, and control.
“The fact is, my friends, most Americans don’t want more government. They want less government.” Mike Huckabee said those words, and it is the basis of what the Republican Party is all about. The Republican Party is about supporting and defending the working man and woman, Capitalism, and the American way. Republicans believe in lower taxes and less government. They believe the citizens of America should be free to make their own decisions. In a debate with McCain, Obama criticized him for his tax plan that would cut corporation taxes. If you believe what the media and democratic spin tells you, giving corporation a tax break is a bad bad thing, and is anti-working man. However consider this. Everyday corporations in American are laying off workers; they are closing plants and moving them overseas. The fact is that these corporations, the ones that the democrats want to tax more are the same corporations that provide jobs to the average hard-working American. How many jobs has Ford, and GM cut??? Maytag left Newton, Rubbermaid left Chariton, and just recently Lennox announced that it will cut almost 300 jobs in Marshalltown, in favor of building a new plant in Mexico, where labor is cheaper. All over Iowa and the United States factories and plants are closing and people are losing their jobs. This is happening, because in a world where globalization is in its prime, it’s a fact that it’s cheaper to do business outside of America.
Businesses are in businesses to make money and if it is costing them more to be in the United States, whether it’s because of the cost of labor, which democrats keep raising and in return prices keep soaring, or taxing corporation revenues, which leaves them with less money to pay their workforce or expand their company they will move to Mexico or to China, or wherever it is cheapest to remain in business. Currently the US taxes corporations over 30%, one of the highest in the world and the Democrats expect them to remain competitive and profitable in the United States without a decrease in their taxes, and even want to tax them more to pay for their nice sounding “spread the wealth around” socialist plan of theirs. To help the working class of America, we Republicans must help the businesses that provide them jobs, stay in business, and more importantly stay in business in America. Once we have secured jobs for the working class of America and made it so that it makes sense business wise for companies to build in America, we can start cutting government spending by reducing the number of Americans on welfare or on food stamps.
If the government doesn’t have to pay for social programs because the citizens are making money on their own (the American and capitalist way) then we don’t have to tax the working American as much. When we reduce the taxes of all Americans and businesses, then we create more money in the economy naturally (without government interference, Adam Smith’s invisible hand model which is the basis for capitalism) for people to spend for themselves. The main difference between Democratic and Republican economic policy, is that the democratic policy is a quick fix, while the republican policy will provide long term benefits, stability and prosperity to the economy.
When business taxes are cut, the company retains more money, year after year they can spend this money on improvements and upgrades to their company. If they save some each year they can affords to expand their operations, create more jobs, give pay raises, and etc. Same thing happens on the individual level. When a person is able to keep more of the money they worked hard for, they are able to save it up, and eventually spend more money in the economy, whether it’s a family trip to Disney Land or a new computer. When this money is spent, business will make more money and give more raises and create more jobs. Fact is, people and businesses will have more money, they will spend more money, and have less need for and reliance on the government. It may take a while for the ball to get rolling, but once it does it will be hard to stop. Take a look at the economic success of the 90s, do you really believe that was because of Clinton and his economic plan for America, NO!!!!! It was due to the Reagan tax cuts taking effect finally; remember it’s a long-term solution, not a quick fix. Bush’s tax cuts worked as well. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was at an all-time record high just after his re-election in 2004, and in 06, before the democrats took control and ruined the American economy; the unemployment rate was at its lowest since July 2001.
Ever since 2006, when the democrats took control, the economy has been going down faster than Monica on Bill (and that’s pretty damn fast!!!). Unfortunately, President Bush was President @ the time, with the Democrats in control of both houses of congress, there was little he could do to stop their agenda, and because he is the figurehead for America, he and the Republican Party took the blame for it.
The Republican Party is the party of the people, for the people, and by the people. It is the party that makes economic sense for both the individual and for the corporation. Republicans are unselfish, they want less government, they want to lower taxes for all, they believe in America and the American people. Republicans believe that individuals should be in charge of their own money and that the key to success is through hard work and sweat and the pride and satisfaction that comes when the hard work pays off, not relying on the government when times get tough. Where did that notion come from anyway??? Looking for a rescue check when a hard moment comes along is not an American value, and it’s not the American government’s job to ensure that everyone can afford their wants, just their needs. Times will be tough at times; but with patients, hard work, and the economic principles of the Republican Party, America can overcome and be stronger then ever.
