The main problem today as Mr. Sirmans sees it is the general public doesn’t
know the basics on what makes a free market economy work in the long run.
That is why the big government tax and spend advocates can distract and run
their shell game successful. You name it, drugs or whatever almost always
give pleasure in the beginning.
True honor should go to those wise and unselfish leaders who will place what is
best for the long term survival of this great nation over what the polls say
uninformed people want to hear. Like a good responsible unselfish parent will
prepare his child using tough love now so the child will have the tools eighteen
years later to survive and be a productive citizen
High taxes and mass social spending will always lead to a lack of accountability,
moral decay, socialism, and finally a poor and bankrupt nation in the long run.
There is no getting around this fact and we as a nation is well on our way down
this destructive path. Plus, if the liberals regain control it will greatly speed up
this downward spiral. All of this job talk which is a good example of a lack of
understanding on how wealth and jobs are created.
Far too many people believe jobs just drop out of heaven and they should be
guaranteed one. In a free market economy nothing could be further from the
truth. The first thing is there is a world of difference between those who create
jobs and those who don’t. Jobs are created by those with a strong
entrepreneurial spirit and sense of altruism. Believe it or not, its just that
simple. Without a big pool of these type of people no nation can grow or stay
prosperous.
Lack of these type of people is why wealth and prosperity always eludes
communist and socialist governments. The key word in producing these type
of people is “Incentive.” The more incentive you have the more of these type
of people you will produce. Broken down that means higher taxes equals less
incentive, lower taxes and less government mandates produces many more of
these job producing type people.
A great many Americans see the superficial sugar coating of the economy as
the real thing. That is why for over forty years the liberals was able to con and
fool the people and stay in power by temporary booming the economy. They
did it by socking it to the rich and raising all kinds of taxes, license fees, rules,
regulations, and mandates on businesses, pretending to help the poor.
Then they would use that money to spend heavily on construction and social
programs that would actually boom the economy. But, look at where the poor
are today. They are worse off because higher taxes and mandates on
businesses will always hurt the poor the most. To the poor and unknowing any
boom is seen as gospel and proof enough of what is best, and it truly is for a
short amount of time.
But, in the long run that type of thinking will destroy a society and is what has
got us in the fix we are in today. That ideology is“Killing the rich goose that
lays the golden egg." It is destroying the nuclear family and moral values. It
has create masses of do-for-me dependent that don’t have to and won’t do hot
tough farm work. It has destroy our will to control illegal immigration.
The supreme law of human existence here on earth is based on need. If no
need exist, the existence of the unneeded given time will cease to be.
In the long run only limited government, limited taxes, limited rules and
regulations, and limited social spending will save our civilization. Sure, liberals
are good Americans and love America dearly, but they lack the proper
foresight and survival instinct and should not be in power.
Since the new deal they have just about destroyed western civilization and will
finish it off if allowed to reign supreme again. The sad fact is after many years
of social spending we have far too many people with dependent mentalities.
These people see big government as the great provider nipple that will never
run dry.
In the beginning all economies started with people bartering with one another,
even during the great depression many doctor bills were paid with chickens
and pigs. A person can eat only so many chickens or any other commodity.
That is why gold was used as the first currency. Something was needed that
was rare and valuable so one would not end up with too much of something
they couldn't use or benefit from.
Paying taxes have been around probably as long as civilization. The old saying
is true “Businesses don’t pay taxes people do.” You can say it’s taxing
business but actually it’s taxing the public or some part of it. A business must
make a profit or go out of business. Out of that profit the business must
restock, pay taxes, pay labor cost, and all other expenses including living
expense.
So when business taxes and other government mandates are raised it will first
squeeze the proprietor's living expense because of competition. But,
eventually the public must pay a higher cost for the same goods and services
because without a profit margin the business will have to close and jobs will be
lost. Sure, it make sense to tax a businessman on his take home pay and
personal expenses, but to tax a business in general is in fact raising the cost of
living on the public or some part of it.
The higher the taxes and other government mandates are on business the
higher the cost of living on the public. That is why we can no longer buy a coke
for a nickel. That is why the public loses ground on every new round of tax
raises. That is why almost everyone is going deeper and deeper into debt.
That is why in most cases it take both parents working to raise a family.
But, the real concern is the future because "Every road has to end
somewhere." In the old days before big government became a social provider
you had what was called a boom and bust cycle in the economy. Most will
argue that that was a very bad thing, but Mr. Sirmans is one that’s not so sure
anymore.
The reason he is not so sure is the economy is not operating out there all
alone. There are many things tied to it , especially things like moral decay, lack
of accountability, decline of the nuclear family, etc. Man will never be able to
get rid of the boom and bust cycle, but modern economist has learned how to
vastly extend the cycle.
If government was not a social provider prices would stay low and coincide
with the amount of labor expended. As it is now there is almost no relationship
between price and labor because government spending supplies enough poor
people and the masses with funds to keep prices high for everyone. Once off
the gold standard there is no physical limit to how far an economy can expand,
of course inflation is a factor, but the printing presses will still keep rolling.
We now have compound interest, stocks, bonds, and all kinds of financial
arrangements taking place, making it possible to extend the cycle on and on.
But, the downside is moral decay, lack of accountability, the deterioration of the
nuclear family, out of control immigration, violent crime, and almost every
traditional value is galloping out of control. There is no physical or legal means
of controlling hardly anything of moral or family value anymore.
In the meantime this “Moral decay swamp monster” has already started licking
and smacking it's lips getting ready to eat us all alive unless the social program
swamp is drained, some how. This welfare state is fast approaching a balance
shift when enough people with weak morals and character will start
determining this nations future.
Then we will be at one another's throats with far too many people not taking
responsibility and blame will become the name of the game. Like the bumper
sticker says, "S... Happens, to err is human," responsible people accept
responsibility and move on, successful people don't dwell on the negative,
period.
Lastly this idea that big is always better with all of the giant business mergers is
way out of line with mother nature and the laws of natural selection. The best
assurance of survival in the long run is always based on variety unless
something is rotten in Denmark.
