Yeah, Tax Us!

    Last month, the pitiful number of only 25,000 new jobs in the private - read "producing"- sector was created in the USA. This number sounds like it belongs to some socialist banana republic but no it's us, under the anti-American president. For all the jaw-boning the president and his misguided minions give us about the predatory corporate world (on the other hand, they are hardly angels either), we have the highest corporate tax in the world at 39 percent. Diana Roth in the WSJ says that for twenty years most nations have been decreasing their corporate tax but we persist in being anti-business. Where is the money going to come from? Since the economic slide of 07-08, caused by Janet Reno and her minions threatening banks with legal actions if they didn't grant sure-to-fail mortgages to unqualified applicants, the Federal Reserve has pumped almost four trillion unbacked greenbacks into the economy, trying to light its fire. It's only sputtering because Obama keeps making the business enviroment not only unfriendly to growth but to existence. I tell you he is the Manchurian Candidate. Whom do you think he talks to at night in his private office in the residence at the White House and receives his orders for how to cripple America further the next day? I think it's the Supreme Ayotallah of Iran. People are almost afraid to go to work because they don't know if the IRS, the EPA, or the Labor Department is going to charge them with something they didn't know they were doing wrong, and then they will be humiliated by the force majeure of the FBI making they frog-march out of their offices in front of everyone. I say reframe that march to the march of a patriot. Just like the blacks know that street arrests are often blown way out of proportion, the white collars should get the same attitude and not automatically hang their heads if they think they didn't do anything. Be proud of doing your part to earn a good living. In the aggregate, it floats all boats. Even the people on welfare get more if you earn a lot because that means you are taxed a lot. And don't you know it!
    It looked for a while that Trump would be, in a world of thugs, our thug, But now Hllary sounds more masculine than he does. She delivers speeches with some meat (often poisoned meat) in them and does so with a serious, measured manner. But Trump only tweets, and he sounds weak, emotional, and feminine. He needs to be ditched. You telling me that if he did shoot someone as he said, we couldn't ditch him because the delegates are bound to him? Of course, we can ditch him. Things change, especially over time. Times proven he's a wienie plus he has lied over and over again. We owe a liar no allegiance. Jock up, if there's anything there, Republican party elites, and ditch Donald Trump.
