-Another tax cheat as the Chief of Staff
-A trillion-dollar plus federal deficit
-Over one-half of voters relieved of any federal tax liability
-Government mandated limits on executive compensation
-Three failed attempts and still no Commerce Secretary

-Lobbyists hired to work for the Obama Administration
-The census gets politicized
-Double government spending in one year
-The word "freedom" fades into obscurity
-Increasing home loan mortgage rates across the board

-Welfare reform reversed, states ordered to increase welfare roles
-Move to silence critical talk radio shows
-Selling Senate seats
-Obama books in religious sections of book stores
-More government workers, not private sector jobs
-A government bureaucracy to intrude on doctor/patient relationships
-Stage set for medical services rationing
-Annual welfare checks for middle income families
BUT WHAT WOULD YOU DO NEAL? By Neal Boortz
A listener asked me this question last week. Fair enough. If (and God help you if it ever happens) I was the one making the decision, what would I do to stimulate our economy? Well .. here would be some of my first steps:
-Say something positive about the power of the free market system
Call for immediate passage of the FairTax
-Lower the top tax rate to 20% while waiting for the FairTax to pass
Immediately eliminate capital gains taxes
-Declare a tax amnesty to allow all American funds invested abroad to come to work in our economy with no tax consequences
-Cut the corporate tax rate significantly. Having the world's second-highest corporate tax rate doesn't exactly make us a magnet for new businesses and jobs.
-Repeal Sarbanes-Oxley
-Declare a tax holiday of from four to six months where the federal government forgives all individual income and payroll taxes.
There's more to be done for sure ... but the goal here is to get the economy moving NOW, not two years from now. The big problem with all of the steps outlined above, of course, is that they empower the private sector and individuals, not government and politicians. The goal here is to grow our economy, not our government.
Now ... aren't you glad I'm not up there making any decisions?
