MY LETTER TO THE REVIEW JOURNAL OF LAS VEGAS

Obama's FAILED STIMULUS

I constantly read Democrats laud Obama as they claim. "the Stimulus Plan worked." Liberal pundits echo this loudly as they seek to blame the GOP for each and every miscue our government has made. Let the truth be known: Obama's economists issued a report, just last Friday, saying, "The Stimulus cost $270,000.00 per job." 

Alan Greenspan, a noted economist said, just days ago, "I am ill aware of anything (Stimulus) that really worked."

I think it is about time that those touting the successes of the Stimulus Plan come to realize that even Obama knows it was a dud! He laughed as he spoke about, "shovel ready jobs not being so shovel ready." He may have laughed, but I fail to see the humor in such drastic wastes.

Now the Democrats seek to demonize the GOP for their refusal to vote for, "tax increases for the rich." According to those Democrats, "we are sick and tired of paying for their private jets and outlandish bonuses."

Stop and think of exactly what is being said. Is a family earning $250,000.00 using a private jet? Are families or small business owners flying in private jets or paying themselves outlandish bonuses? If all of the 'supposed' rich gave 100% of their earnings as taxes the net take by IRS would be barely over $1 trillion. 

I do not know of a single Republican that would not vote to have everyone, regardless of their earnings, pay their fair share of taxes. Conversely, I do know of many Democrats that steadfastly refuse to pay the taxes they are proven to owe! Look at the tax deductions of Harry Reid, John Kerry, Henry Waxman, Nancy Pelosi and similar rich politicians. Are any of those people paying their, 'fair share?' I think not!
