It's amazing how little democrats actually know about how to promote economic growth. They only know how to destroy it and what's left of an economy!

The key problem with most Democrats and a lot of Republicans too is that they understand only the customer end of any given transaction.

They have no concept of what is going on, on the vendor end of things and the kinds of decisions that are made that result in a good or service actually being available for purchase.

The problem is too many of the “lawmakers” are lawyers, and that is a little bit removed from manufacturing and merchandising.

They are even further removed, from the middle class.

I heard Marcus interviewed on Neal Boortz several years ago.
He stated that with all the regulations today there is no way he could start a Home Depot company.

Business, economics and taxation are the reason I finally registered to vote for the first time as a republican. I was apolitical until I saw what a difference Reagan made, so I voted for him second term.

“They have no concept of what is going on, on the vendor end of things and the kinds of decisions that are made that result in a good or service actually being available for purchase.”

And the corollary to that the fact as the jobs go to foreign countries so they can produce “cheaper $hit” and send it to us, so too does our jobless citizens ability to buy “said $hit” diminish. But what has happened is our government, borrowing the “profits” from those foreign countries, has made it possible, it the short term, for our unemployed to continue to buy “said $hit.” But that can has been kicked about as far down the road as it can be, and the piper will soon have to be paid.

Something that needs to be addressed here by law, like they have in the UK. There, lawyers are precluded, by law, from serving as legislators.

Bill Clinton turned me Republican when he was pushing affirmative action. I felt it was wrong that politicians pick one group to be a winner and another a loser. They do that with their crony capitalism too for their favorite corporations.

I always thank Jimmy Carter, because everything was so bad when he was president and then I saw what a difference Reagan made, I decided that the people we put in office really do matter so I started voting. I’ve been quite active in the GOP up until the last few years.
