	I have some suggestions for fixing the economy too...: 1) Fire all the politicians!!! 2) Reform Government 3) Goverment offices do NOT get paid...It should be Voluntary (takes the greed out of it)... 4) Stop spending our treasury money on wars that should not concern us...(If they come over here and bomb us, we answer in only one way...NUKE EM!!!) 5) Don't give folks free money (Wellfare, stimulus, etc.) It only gets spent on drugs, alcohol, ciggaretts, hookers, etc. America needs to wake up and smell the failure... HH,

WE as AMERICANS have to remember that the government is supposed to work for us as a voice for the people. That is how it all started. The Represenatives and Senators were to go to the goverment in our place and speak for us, not try to line their pockets with shady crooked dealings. I say fire them all and that would help our economy tremendously. In the past few years think of all the political scandals that not only embarrassed our country but hurt us financially because we had to have trials for these people that cost millions of dollars. Come on America wake up and vote smart!

America now is sliding towards Socialism, far left Liberals are forcing our government for equal distribution of wealth, and worst US currency is not back up by gold but by Federal Reserved Notes, Bonds etc. If this Gov't. keep on printing money the US Dollar will be devaluated soon and our currency will be downgraded below AAA.
China stop buying US Treasury notes and stop using USD for trading instead they are currency swapping to countries they trade like Brazil, Africa, Russia and other developing countries, they are buying and stockpiling gold more in mining precious metals in Nigeria and other countries with vast gold reserves and drilling oil. US depends on Federal Bonds and treasutry Notes. China is looking towards precious metals. Further more the US listens to the United Nation in the guise of Global Warming.
Is the Obama administration has a hidden agenda, is he a Fascist ? At present we can't do anything because he was elected in false hope, promises and believe in welfare that every man, woman and child should be subservient to the Government.
Are you one of them.... hope not, It's time to fight back not be complacent and we should persevere.
The only thing to keep our wealth from the Government is to invest in gold.

Actually, trickle down economics would work "IF" the companies, the big companies gave more back to their employers in wages and benefits instead of increase the inequality gap AND didn't out-source jobs, but kept all the money in states.  That was the way it was supposed be, but people got greedy and saw that they could make a ton of money.  So all the money trickled down into a few pockets at the top and our wages flat lined while prices for everything kept going up and up.

I like Obamanomics myself.  It's called trickle up.  When you have a strong base, the working folks, you'll have a strong top.  But it's the base that stimulates and makes the whole engine flow and run smooth.

1950.  Is that the year you were born?  In 1950 the tax rate was 90% for those making over $1.5million.  America's greatest growth was under a tax structure like this.  All the money stayed with in and with the Americans.  Families could live, save, go to college and retire on 1 income.  The 60's saw a lowering of the tax rate and Reagan really screwed everything up by cutting the tax rate in half, then didn't have anyway to pay for the "big and scary" cold war, so he borrowed from China and Social Security.  He also raised taxes, but it wasn't enough and he should have never cut the taxes.

America's problem started in the 1980's. Taxes started to benefit the rich while the lower incomes paid more and as a result, we had to have 2 incomes to live.  Job's started to out-source and regulations were thrown out the window. 

Taxes.  Hell yes to higher taxes!!  Anyone with a computer can research the inequality gap and who it effects health care.  The countries that have less of an inequality gap have a better standard of living.  Yes the wealthy in those countries might pay more in taxes, but the whole country benefits from it.

There's something wrong with America and it does have something to do with taxes, but more about trickle down profits and out-sourcing.
