People cannot be taxed into prosperity. It doesn’t work that way. Government cannot create wealth. What government can do is provide for a stable and unobtrusive environment so that good jobs can be created and money can be invested. In that sense, it’s not about the government actually doing anything to create prosperity, it’s government staying out of the way.

What it all boils down to is we want what you should want for yourself, your children and their children. We want opportunity, liberty and the ability to own our lives. We don’t care about the color or gender of whoever sits in the Oval Office. We don’t want to overthrow the government or march on the White House with pitchforks and torches. All we want is for government to be our servant, not the other way around. As Lincoln reminded us at Gettysburg, Government should be OF the people, by the people and FOR the people, not a bunch of career corruptocraticans whose only real interest is keeping their cushy job.

Geezo Crow. What a concept! This "New Learning" amazes me!

With comments like yours, no wonder liberals are annoyed with us!

thanks geo.
I refuse to allow "Socialism" and "Progressivism" to be understood as benign, helpful, caring, sharing... Socialism and Progressivism are cannibalism.
