Why Romney's Tax Plan Will Hurt The American People

     Cutting taxes to raise the level of prosperity of the population will not work.  By cutting deductions for the top one percent and lowering taxes, you leave the American government vastly underfunded.

     This gives the leadership an additional mandate with far more sinister implications.  They can now cut education, and other things very important to the average american: Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

     Not to mention Food Stamps, I would like to challenge you all to $29.00 a week on groceries just like the mayor of Phoenix Arizona.  Unable to focus, concentrate and function at your best now when it is most needed.

     The times have changed since the founding of the American Republic when it was primarily an agrarian society.  We had a nation of independent communities that could function mostly independent of the other.

     Now we live in a new global era where the agrarian solutions to the nations problems no longer work.  However the agrarian foundation new that it's own time was limited, so they created a constitution, and a framework for a country whose government was limited enough to protect the civil rights and liberties of the people expand upon them. And to change with the times.

     We should be building our own nation, most of our infrastructure which when it was built kept the nation employed but also brought the nation together in ways it was not before, is crumbling  to pieces and expired around ten years ago.

     The amount of money that would enter the economy from the creation of all these jobs will prove crucial to the revival and recovery of the middle class.  Our new infrastructure will be able to carry more people more efficiently and thus further encourage economic activity.

Build babby Build!

     Obama inspired the nation's young people in ways never before seen.  And with it he could have moved mountains.  Well maybe not move them, perhaps just fix the tunnels and the roads that go along them. America's infrastructure for the most part has either the New Deal or Eisenhower's defence spending to thank for it's very existence.  It was what allowed us to in the 50's actually be number one. 

     But like all things it has an expiration date.  And do to our inability to put the milk back in the fridge so to speak it is quickly reaching the end of it's lifespan.  Most of these bridges roads and damns were not meant to last forever, indeed most of these projects were only mean to last 50 years.  That time has come and gone, and it only speaks to previous American expertise that they are indeed for the most part still in use never mind standing. 

     Most if not all of these man made wonders are operating at much higher capacity then they were ever meant to carry, without any of the maintenance they reacquire, longer than they were built to last.  Next time you go over a bridge particularly a suspension bridge over a canal, look at all the rust corroding the supports, the metal chords and the pillars, and know that you could die just by going over this bridge that should be properly maintained if not retired from service. 

    

For it is the bridge near you and not London Bridge that is falling down.
