Good times means business is thriving, which means higher incomes, higher tax revenues, higher markets, higher capital gain tax revenues. You gotta spend, market yourself properly, advertise right, in order to make money.
Clearly, what has been taking place since Reagan, has been an inversion/perversion of laissez-faire market economy, as Smith envisioned it. US has become a society separated into groups, the haves and have-nots. Opportunity is diminishing each passing day. We live in a stagnant economy where Adolph Hitler Bernanke, the head of the Federal Reserve, has tight controls on markets. These tight controls reveal a loss of control and loss of true economic opportunity. More importantly, it represents a lack of courage to let markets correct themselves and right the ship.
Sometimes, it is important to tighten one's belt and face hard times, not avoid them. I like Ron Paul. He represents a dose of reality. |
