Housing Economy Views and News 2/15/2010 – Bob Zartarian
“Well, if we just look at what’s happened and works, why do we need something new?” This quote is from Jonathan Krohn, one of Atlanta’s own as he criticized former Republican Governor Jeb Bush. At 14 years old this young man already understands that we need not try new ideas when we have the benefit of hindsight to see what’s worked before to bring housing and the economy back.
Time after time in the past when taxes were reduced and/or eliminated and entrepreneurs were incentivized by profit to take risks, the country’s coffers filled up as economic activity improved. Couple that with long term pro-growth policies and you have the formula for a fast recovery. Take away the impediments to doing business at home and abroad, let American business compete on the world stage without high tax rates and watch out! Every time it’s been done the result is the same. We recover.
A reduced tax burden along with spending reductions practically guarantees the chances for a robust recovery. Throw in a strong dose of waste and fraud elimination and America will once again see everyone in its rear view mirror. People who want a job will go back to work and we’ll have the revenue to bring down the crushing deficit. Do this and those “babes” will have a life at least as good as ours. We don’t need to “tinker” with make work programs, we need a plan that lets the world’s best do what it does best.
