Winning and working in the USA
I would like to start this article with a comment that I know more than a few working people have said to me. Our country is going through hell right now. Our President and Our Congress are in a pi$$ing match that doesn’t seem to have an end game. No one will win or one side with losing is just not a good way to run a country. We need to get the USA winning and working again.
I have said it before that Republicans can’t sell, because if they could their reputation would be great. They are the party that freeded the slaves, The party that ended the Vietnam war, The party that has always helped to promote business. The Democrats have the bleeding heart side of things and helped to get us to the moon. Yes they give away other peoples money. They don’t want you to keep yours because they believe they can handle it better than you. They did pass a law to change our healthcare and all of it is not bad. The insurance companies have to approve anyone with a disability now. They can’t say no. This is a good thing.
When you look from the ouside in at what is going on you can see that both sides have good points. If somehow we could just get the good points from both sides there could be a win win situation.
Because I sell products to business there have been some very challenging months in the past 4 years. I want it changed. I can call on so many people but I can’t worry about things I cannot change. I just filed our taxes today for the 2012 year and was shocked at what percentage of our income goes to the federal government. For what? My wife and I work without any government help. We are some of the ones that contribute to the government tax fund. I know that some folks do not contribute anything.
There are red states and blue states but the amount of people on some type of government program is over 50% now. This cannot last forever and I am begging you to try to get off of any guaranteed government program that you can drop. We only have to give God 10% if we tithe.
Our Nation needs a president that understands math. We need a congress that understands math. It is simple math. a percentage of a number goes up or down with the net income you receive. $200.00 is 20% of a $1,000.00 It doesn’t matter if you make a million dollars or $30,000.00 dollars. We should all have to pay the same percentage. If you own a business you can make investments to lower your net dollars but you are contributing to the economy if you do. I just have a hard time believing that our government can’t cut their spending. The people on subsistance could be required to help to earn their susbistance. Help how? mow the grass, pick up trash, volunteer for a soup kitchen, help out at a hospital, volunteer to help guard our schools, Volunteer to be a teacher assistant, I could go on and on but until we the people demand changes like this the quaigmier will continue no matter who is in the white house.
What does this have to do with selling you may ask? A percentage of readers will agree with me and if one person helps to spread and promote this idea to two or more people, We have a Win Win situation.
