Right now today we could afford to put 5 million people to work at above poverty wage jobs.
Those 5 million jobs would provide for the hiring of another million or so people.
Why not to the right thing and vote to repeal the tax cuts for the top 1%, but really the top 10% would be better., or for that matter all tax cuts enacted under Bush and re issued under Obama.
Lets take that money and revive our economy. Hire the people who are in desperate need of employment.
This would create more tax base, less unemployment compensation and more charity to go around because there would be less people who would need it.
Just look at all the programs that now are in place to help people that could be scaled back or done away with.
The people who would be giving up the most are not in need of it. And the fact remains that it would just make for more profit by corp's and lead to a stock market rise.
So why not be a Patriotic American and press for all tax cut to end from the bush era. If a group needs more help after that we can deal with that.
We cannot bring America back without jobs, and massive amount of poor people who need help will not go away without proving jobs.
Revising the tax codes as they now are is surely needed, but that will take years to do if the will is even there.
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country
