October 19, 2010: A four point plan to fix the economy
- Fist: All of the various governments of the United States (Federal, State, City, Township, County, District, Community, etc) should take less money from the people.
They all should be creatively finding ways to take less money every year, instead of more. This will allow the people to have more of their money which will surely help the economy. But this point is no good without the second ...
- Second: Governments should go on a budget. They should spend less than they take. Seems obvious, right? Nope. Not to them.
This will help boost long-term confidence with the economy. But this will never work without the third point ...
- Third: Governments should become smaller.
Government personnel aren't creative entrepreneurs. Government programs are non-competitive monopolies that are rarely held accountable for corruption or failure. Government sucks the life out of honest creativity. But all of this will never, ever, happen unless ...
- Fourth: The people should vote for and support government personnel who have a record of honoring the Bill of Rights, lowering taxes, and staying on a budget.
Ignore government advertisements. Don't care about how wonderful a politician looks or how their wonderful speaches make you feel. Ignore the commentators, actors and comedians. Look at the politicians' past records. Hire them or fire them based on which laws they've actually supported in the past. This is the only way that the first three points will ever happen.
The surprise is that it's in YOUR hands!
If you've been voting based on the mainstream news, television commercials, how a politician makes you feel, political speeches, comedy shows, or yard signs, then please STOP VOTING!
Instead, see which laws a politician has really actually helped to make law in the past.
Decide what values are really important to you.
Then vote.
Read the Bill of Rights (opens a new webpage).
Find information on websites like VoteSmart.org (opens a new webpage). There may be others?
This country needs more informed voters at the polls.
Be one!
Get informed first and -- then -- vote!
