Just how do we “bring back jobs”?

1.start with getting rid of the 100,000’s of pages of government regulations at all levels of government, get rid of the EPA, FDA, IRS , dept of energy for starters , then keep going. Get government out of the way of businesses, of starting businesses,

2. lower and flatten taxes rates(provides profit motive), eliminate many taxes. eliminate all property taxes, taxes on dividends , capital gains taxes. only a low flat tax 12% at federal level and existing sales taxes at local level

3.repeal most laws including those that mandate and enable unions, frivolous lawsuits ( loser pays ) etc.

That's for starters, how's that?

elect me as Pres

Can't bring back jobs until you get rid of the unions. And that won't happen, so the jobs go bye-bye.

In that case the GOP ceases to exist.

I refuse to accept that.

Or in simpler terms, follow the constitution, eliminating anything that doesn’t fit.

Doesn’t it just frost you that none of the Repubs have ever called them the Bush Tax Cuts? Just doing that would change the narrative. Boehner is just the worst, the absolute worst.

“Doesn’t it just frost you that none of the Repubs have ever called them the Bush Tax Cuts? Just doing that would change the narrative. Boehner is just the worst, the absolute worst.”

SO TRUE!!! The Republicans could have had a field day asking why the Democrats want to extend the “Bush Tax Cuts for the Rich”.

But they STILL do not know how to play street ball with these people...they’re clueless.

The GOP is hell bent on self-destruction. It is too infested with liberals. This country doesn’t need 2 liberal parties. One of them will fold, and it is most likely going to be the Republicans.

“Can’t bring back jobs until you get rid of the unions. And that won’t happen, so the jobs go bye-bye. “

DEAD RIGHT regarding unions - although there are some apologists on this site that refuse to see the damage done by them. All we can do is keep yelling from the hills and hope that, hopefully, some day things get better.

Although I agree it’s hard to be optimistic.

I agree with just about everything you’ve said with one exception: Obama knows that increasing taxes on everyone does nothing (except negative) for revenue.

I believe he and the Dems are going to immediately call for a tax-cut for everyone below $250K. The Dems will then “own” tax cuts, as far as the uneducated public is concerned.

eiher way, the fiscal cliff is the end of the GOP. Either they get blamed for the recession that is coming or they capitulate and lose their base. Get ready for a generation or more of liberal rule.

He is reading Staltin's book now.

The deceiver is being deceived...

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 2 Timothy 3:13.

And you know who's behind all this...

...the devil that deceived them... Revelation 20:10.

liberal STATIST rule

Let's start calling them who they are (lovers of the state, haters of individual freedom ("statism" from state+ism)) and quit calling them who they aren't ("liberal" means lover of freedom).

Going back to the turn of the 20th century and later to the 1960's, the "progressive" intellectual elite and the hippies respectively, talked about peace and love but were actually lovers of the state. From then until now, they've always hated your right to think and do as you please and loved government as a means of forcing their ideas on the rest of us. They're not "liberal" at all. They are statists - "vile" and "churlish," as scripture prophesied thousands of years ago in Isaiah 32.

The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful. For the vile person will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. The instruments also of the churl are evil: he devises wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaks right. Isaiah 32:5-7.

We who love freedom, however, are libertarians, not capital "L" the party, but those who believe in individual liberty and government LIMITED to the protection of those freedoms.

But the liberal devises liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand. Id. vs.8.
