Economy + Politics = Nothing

As things stand now, our economy is dying, our school system is broken, our justice system is broken and our overall government is broken. When a problem occurs, the politicians fight over what their party wants, not what the people need. Almost like “Anything to get a vote!”

Congress has become a bucket of piss where nothing gets fixed. And it’s getting worse every election period. They cheat, lie and steal to get in, and it becomes second-nature after words and they make a career out of it.

With everyone’s economic plan, they leave out parts that might make their plan work one hundred percent. But due to their party loyalty, they don’t touch on issues that their own party is against. So, the people get hurt when politicians choose politics over what can work and what should already be on the drawing board.

Now I’m a Republican who makes seven dollars an hour at McDonald’s. But there a re certain things I follow my heart on over my party which everyday I thank god I was smart enough to side with, like taxes on the wealthy and corporations. So give me a few paragraphs to explain this.

Successful entrepreneurs usually own multiple small mom-and-pop businesses and they make a very good living from owning their own businesses, over the $250,000 year mark. So they are considered rich in the eyes of the government. By taxing them for succeeding in life here’s what will happen; to save their own profits, they’ll let go of workers to put more money in the budget of their business to regain that lost profit.

But a corporation, unlike a small business, spends very little of its budget paying employees of middle and lower classes. Members of a board write themselves five million dollar bonuses yearly without hesitation. I’m not a take down the corporations’ guy, I know we all need them but taxing them would have the same effect. So, my idea is this; every company with over 3000 employees must share an extra 12% of their employees yearly income to everyone who has been employed by the company, say, for over four months. Talk about economy stimulus that doesn’t come from your wallet to start off.

There. That way the people get the money, small businesses are safe, corporations are kept in check, and the governments not getting the money to do god knows what with it.

But a bill like that would never pass. That plan would help a lot of American families without the risk of losing jobs at the same time or hiking taxes on anyone. 13% of a corporations profit pays the employees. The rest is supply and wasteful thinking.

I’m just saying there are a few politicians that stick out from the rest. And not to get too political, but Joe Biden and Barack Obama are not among that list of people.
