It’s time we, as a nation, addressed entitlement spending. And there’s only one way that’s going to happen — with jobs. That’s right, good-paying jobs with benefits and plenty of them! We need to make it so that working people make too much money to qualify for government assistance; that way, the number of people depending on entitlements will decrease.
If you’re wealthy and love cheap overseas labor, do you really want your taxes to skyrocket? It could end up costing you more than the extra profits you’re making using cheap Chinese labor. And, for your information, China is a communist country, which means it could seize your factory any time (communists are known for doing this).
It’s time for wealthy citizens and corporate America to do the right thing and bring it back home. Put your efforts into building up America, not China. Lower your tax liability by increasing the tax base, and return to those values that produced your great wealth in the first place!
Or keep building up a communist nation. But save us the hypocrisy of the “creeping socialism” argument. If you put your money and faith in a communist country and that’s good enough for you, why should the other 99 percent of us feel differently?
