Too Much Government

“When the Government’s boot is on your throat, whether it is a left boot or a right boot is of no consequence.” ~ Gary Lloyd

The government needs more revenue, real dollars in its coffers, and needs to cut spending. History has repeatedly shown that the way to increase revenue is by cutting taxes. Yet the politicians in charge (Democrats) keep calling for higher taxes, a historically proven method to stifle economic growth and reduce long term government revenue. Tax code is now used as a way to pay off political supporters, the 20 thousand some odd pages of tax code are proof enough. The American people want the government to get out of their lives.

Why doesn’t Washington Get it? The American people get it; Washington and big government are the problem.

Rasmussen poll shows that 61% of voters believe tax cuts help the economy

Rasmussen poll shows 59% think tax cuts are a better job-creation tool than increased government spending.

Rasmussen poll shows 59% believe higher deficits hurt the economy.

Rasmussen poll shows 83% of Americans blame the deficit on the unwillingness of politicians to cut government spending.

Washington Post poll shows 58% of voters want smaller government and fewer government services.

New York Times poll shows 75% of Americans dislike Congress.

Obviously the people of this country don’t believe that the government knows what’s best. The uproar at last summer town hall meetings; the Tea Party movement; and the loss of big government politicians in New Jersey, Virginia, and even Massachusetts, clearly demonstrate that the people know that government is our problem not our salvation.

The States are getting it, there are 37 states which have passed or have proposed laws and resolutions affirming their sovereignty under the 10th Amendment. The Federal government has gotten too big and is overstepping its constitutional bounds and the limits of what the people and the States will accept.

There is a political revolt out going on and Washington just doesn’t get it.

Here is a prime example Wyoming House Bill BH95.
