I was picking pears today. Odd way to start a post about an election is it not? But at time while doing something as simple as picking pears your mind shifts gears and just a simple thing like picking pears brings a new perspective to things.
A pear fell from the tree. Wow that is nothing new, just Newton's Theory of Gravity, but my mind took off on how to look at Obama's economic policy.
We have heard the words Trickle Down Economics from Obama as McCains way of viewing how to approach economic policy.
Obama's view is from the Ground up or Grassroots up in his approach for economic policy.
Obama's entitlement government can only be possible if there is money to support it. Since people who do not work do not generate tax revenue for the government to spend on entitlements, tax rebates and subsidies, Obama's form of government will be unable to sustain it's self. Taxing the very people who produce the jobs leads to fewer jobs and less tax revenue.
McCain understands that lowering taxes so that employers can hire will produce more workers and therefore more taxes. A smaller government, as in government spending, is also beneficial to all.
Because water will not flow up hill, pears will not rise upward to a pear tree and rain does not fall from the earth to the clouds in the sky Obama's policy of ground up or Grassroots economics is directly opposite of the laws of nature.
Obama can promise the sun and the moon but the simple truth is it defies Newton's Theory of Gravity.
In simple terms without the worker bees the hive will die. Without balance in the way we tax and spend we will continue to be lead to the imbalance in our financial system that we are now experiencing.
