THOSE WHO EXTOL THE VIRTUES OF THE WEALTHY, for whatever reason, like to point out that the wealthy are economic engines, prime sources of economic prosperity for all, that whoever your boss is, if you work in a non government business, is probably wealthy, which is the only reason you have your job.
And all that's true, of course. Hard as it may be for liberals to digest, its true. And it also may be true that what this country (america) needs is less money going to government, and more money going to private business investment, as teh conservative republicans are fond of saying, over, and over....
OK then, so be it. What if anyone who pays federal income tax is permitted to take ten percent, say, of income tax owed, and invest the amount in one or more businesses which are less than five years old, or new.
An income tax option, or, perhaps, for very wealthy income trax payers, not an option, but a requirement, that twenty five percent of taxes owed be invested in such a business, creating a requirement that all wealthy people indeed do, directly, what it is always claimed by conservatives that they do; invest in and stimulate the american economy?
Billions of dollars going directly into the economy, instead the black hole bureacracy that our government has become. Freeze those entitlements, like social security, medicare, medicaid, for several years, cut the military, legalize marijuana, let drug dealers out of prison, divert twenty five percent of the income taxes of the wealthy to private investment, and you got yourself a thriving economy, no?
The solutions which will prove effective are neither liberal nor conservative, but both. Neither capitalistic nor socialistic, but a bit of both. The minds which will find solutions are not closed, but rather, wide, wide open...
