New Rant for Y’all

Well I’m sitting here watching the first presidential debate and I thought I would just hit you with a short little rant!!

1.       Just a short note on taxes, you can raise more money by building a larger tax base far easier than by raising taxes – PERIOD. You can raise taxes on businesses, and small business owners but that just prevents them from hiring new people who in turn will be a bigger drain on government entitlements. So if you keep taxes low and allow those business owners to take that money and invest it, then they will hire new employees who will pay taxes thereby growing the tax base by generating more revenue in businesses and with more people earning an income instead of receiving entitlements.

2.       Yes we need regulations in the marketplace; but when they are so strict that they limit business at every step of the way, then they are too restrictive. Currently bureaucratic government regulatory efforts are stifling new business. This must change!!

3.       In the world of the never-ending nightmare, United States Secretary of State Hilary Clinton was once again shown to be running an ill-prepared-to-handle-the-world organization as exposed by the attack on the consulate in Benghazi. It seems that the company in charge of the security there (Blue Mountain Libya) could not get the support and aide from their parent company (Blue Mountain UK) and requested help from a third party but the state Department’s Contract Officer would not approve that and said the threat was not that bad. Now they will not let the FBI in to investigate the scene because they said it was too dangerous – imagine that!!

4.     When will liberals understand that the states are better prepared to handle what goes on with programs that serve their constituents more than the federal government? EXAMPLE…..I doubt the cost of living is the same in Texas as it is in Massachusetts. My family and I can live comfortable on $100,000.00 a year in Texas, but I bet I would be struggling in Boston. The same plan that will work in Massachusetts WILL NOT work for the entire nation as a whole. Oh and by the way, the plan in Massachusetts did not raise taxes; ObamaCare (did you know Microsoft Word autocorrects for ObamaCare) has at least 22 new taxes in it.

5.       By the way, while we keep talking about comprehensive bills addressing issues like medical care, immigration, energy, taxes, and others; the true way to address them is by individual bills that address specific issues, not one all encompassing, comprehensive bill. There has NEVER been a successful Comprehensive bill ever!!

Well that’s it for right now. I am going to watch the last 30 minutes of the debate and then take four aspirin and hit the sack before I get sick!!

Ya’ll hang in there; we just have a short time to go until we are done with the election!!


Where’s that Aspirin?
Bill
