And to achieve more economic activity, the government has to       be less greedy. And quit stealing from the Private Sector Economy.              Raising taxes is NOT a solution for failing GDP growth... economic       activity creates added "REVENUE" raising taxes created less GDP GROWTH       which results in less actual REVENUE for the U.S. Treasury.              Taxes are a way to collect the Revenue NOT create it.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
