Can Obama make private equity pay?

Hey Obama. I got a great idea for reducing the deficit... Want to hear it? It is a two stage plan.

1. Leave my money and everyone else's alone so we can spend it and help the economy.

2. GOVERNMENT - QUIT SPENDING. You are destroying the economy at a rapid pace. Hope you are proud of yourselves.

The economy will repair itself if government quits interfering with and regulating EVERYTHING. It's called "Spontaneous Order". In case you haven't noticed, regulation after regulation after regulation, more stimulus, more stimulus, more stimulus is not working............

Everything you touch turns to crap... ARE BLIND? Or, is this the ultimate plan?

330,000,000 Americans spending it their way is much better than a group of 500+ idiots spending it. Unbelievable.... 

How about just charging a "User Fee" to the Big Banks for all that QE3 bailout money ($84 BILLION a month) they get from the federal Reserve and Bendover Bernanke.  The Banks take this money and play the commodity market, run up the price of food and gasoline and repay the FED with the profits at ZERO interest. Plus they pay themselves good bonuses to boot while the middle class has stagnant wages, higher commodities and food prices.   If the economy is humming along and getting stronger as most of the lapdog news media reports; why are we still having to bail out the banks and Wall Street?

Right now the average worker has zero savings and overall consumer savings have declined 42% since 2007.  You can't grow an economy when there is no excess cash through savings.

So the logic is that since 13billion will not solve the problem then why tax those too big to fail, bailed out fat cats at all? Why not just tax the middle class to death and take away SS, medicare and all other saftey nets so that the wana be Royalty will not have to deal with a tax hike?

 By that reasoning then the 35% in income and payroll taxes that I pay will have even less of an impact so why should I pay taxes?

For that matter why should a middle class person who actually works for a living pay taxes at a higher rate than Mitt whilte someone like Paris Hilton is to be excused from paying that same rate?

The real problem in this country is that too many people want the govt to take care of all their needs,and wee simply can't afford that on thebacks of those that are working.  Spending needs to be cut and cut dramatically.  I lost my job over a year ago.  I don't know how people are getting 99 weeks of unemployment benefits, but I got 26 weeks.  My family looked at what we could cut out and what could be cut back on.  We are getting by and doing ok on my wife's income because we reduced our spening to what was coming in each month.  We need our leaders to understand this.  Quit the meaningless short term spending bills and write a real budget and stick to it.  Make an across the board cut of all spending and go to zeo based budgeting.  Make every federal entinity start at zero each year ad defend its spending.

Finally, take a look at the fair tax plan. It would tax all money spent and would add billions to what is being taxed by catching all the grey and black market money.

Neither party is working on a real answer for what is killing this country----Quit Spending.

I was told that when I found myself in a hole, I needed to stop digging.  Our govt has not only kept digging but has brought in the explosives and heavy equipment.

Just my 2 cents---for what it worth
