Here we go into election season and already the Democrats are talking about raising our taxes? That is a silly notion indeed because as soon as they raise our taxes they will spend all the money on stupid projects and typical wasteful spending. Government's job is to protect the American people and that is what they need to do. Their job is not to create pet projects and below the hard earned taxpayers money on such silly things.

During this election season we need all congressmen and senators to reaffirm their commitment to make the tax cuts permanent. Anyone running for election currently who will not sign on in advance to a permanent tax cut solution for our nation's ongoing economic vitality does not deserve the vote of the American people. Anyone who would raise our taxes does not deserve the confidence of the American people.

Here's the deal, we own the government and we are the government and we decide what happens. We elect representatives to vote their conscience however, when those representatives fail us and then raise our taxes they no longer represent the American people and need to be thrown out of office. Currently the Democrats want to raise our taxes. That is a no go and a no vote.

Lower taxes mean more spend able income for Americans and that means they can live a higher standard of living and better quality of life. They will be able to buy more things and when they do that will employ more people. When more people are employed there will be more people paying into the system and therefore more tax base anyway. Why on earth would anyone raise taxes to kill the American economy?
