Need Tax Revenue, Cut Old Programs

No Tax Increases, No New Taxes

Unemployment payments were extended for way more than was planned and prepared for and now taxes must be increased on the wages of working people, and on the prices of everything we must buy.

This means less pay and fewer jobs. More costs for businesses and higher prices for everyone on everything.

This kind of non-market, regulatory, tax driven inflation is completely unnecessary. The tax revenue to pay for unemployment has already been paid to the government. They are attempting to spend it on programs that benefit only their constituents. If it doesn’t benefit all citizens equally, then cut it. Taxes should not be used to benefit only a special constituent.

Equality, not special treatment (discrimination) for narrow constituencies

Twenty six weeks of unemployment was paid for, planned for, and more than enough. Paying people not to work of 99 weeks increased and prolonged destructive unemployment, and is typical of excessive government benefits that damage people’s lives and destroy self-esteem.

Now unemployment funds have been completely exhausted and deficit spending is required for yet another excessive government benefit.

Here’s my suggestion; use the revenue currently programmed for any of the thousands of unnecessary, excessive and over-funded existing programs, discretionary or not.

Cut them all. Cut them now. Eliminate the ones that are not or have not accomplished their objective. Reduce all programs by 35 percent. Withdraw all program funds not yet obligated.

Wake up! Make some deliberate funds management decisions. You want more unemployment funds, cut everything else.

It’s really that simple. Pick the five most important things.

Fully funds those and cut everything else. Everyone whose brain works will understand it.

Funds are limited! Everyone that matters knows that.

You can’t have everything you want, but if congress actually does their job, we can get what we really need.
