Where is the economy going? For those who think the economy is good, here is an e-mail I received today from a corporation.

Unemployment is now on the rise in the U.S., which was inevitable with Obama's socialist policies, because due to onerous high corporate taxes small to mid-sized companies like our own have not hired in over a year. They have hidden this fact in the numbers, but now with oil companies and manufacturing companies and banks laying off tens of thousands at a time, they will no longer be able to hide it. Some will say this is not a trend yet, but we know better. It may not be a proven trend, but it is the beginning of one.

As you can see the government is not working to help the economy, it is pushing for more and more regulations; regulations that restrict businesses. Businesses are not going to hire more people if they can not make a profit. The more a business, regardless of size, has to pay to employ people, them less employees they will hire. If you wan tot take away money from a business, then the business will certainly  downsize. We've all seen how that worked in 2008 and 2009, and we are still feeling the effects. Many have seen this in the 1970's and late 1980's.

In the current political campaigns both Clinton and Sanders want to enact even more restrictive regulations on businesses. This is bad for the economy no matter what they do. We need people in office who know how to operate a business. Lincoln knew how to operate a business and during his time, despite the civil war, the economy grew. Reagan, during the 1980's, deregulated businesses and the economy grew. After he was out of office the economy went down.

Don't believe the political advertisements on television. Study the economy and understand how it works. If businesses can make a profit, they can hire more employees. The Democratic candidates are all talking about putting restrictions on businesses, big businesses, and anyone who has money. Just think about the Obama care. Everyone has to pay a fine for not having health insurance; this includes the homeless and destitute. Think about what they will go through if they could get a job and then file their taxes, expecting a refund, only to get a letter saying they owe hundreds of thousands of dollars for not having health insurance all their years of homelessness.

With Socialism individuals don't own property. All property and money belongs to everyone. This is why distribution of wealth is vitally important. With Communism it is Socialism at its extreme. You war told what to do and how to do it. Socialism allows some personal freedom in where you want to live and work, but Communism takes these last freedoms away.

Anytime you hear some political candidates talking about taking money from the wealthy or fair share, think Socialist or Communist. This is what you are voting for; what kind of America do you want to see emerge?
