Tax Day: We Need to Say "Hell NO!"

From National Review Online, a story about taxation and middle America:

Somewhere in America there is a frustrated small-business owner. Demand for products is down, employees have had to be let go, costs are up, and there is little hope in sight. To make things worse, the tax man is knocking at the door.

Today is April 15, the day for over 50 years Americans have had to fork over a hefty portion of their success to Uncle Sam. In the past year, nearly a trillion dollars in taxpayers’ money has been spent by President Obama and the Congress to fund a failed economic stimulus.

In a survey just released by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the small-business-optimism index fell 1.2 points last month to its lowest point since July 2009. In a powerful understatement, NFIB chief economist William Dunkelberg said optimism was “headed in the wrong direction.”

Traveling throughout the country with American Solutions, we have met hundreds of small-business owners. Each one of them has the same complaint: They want government to “get out of our way.” Last week in New Orleans we heard from a boat manufacturer who is worried about the impact of cap-and-trade legislation. In St. Petersburg, Fla., there was motorbike dealer concerned about the higher taxes. As the NFIB found, America’s small-business owners are filled with concerns and have little hope.

Even worse, the NFIB survey found that small-business owners are more likely to cut workers than add jobs over the next three months, fueling speculation that any pending “recovery” may be a jobless one.

In the Reagan Revolution of the 1980's, supply side economics created 21 million new jobs. We don't have to have a stupid "jobless recovery" if we don't want one. But you got to go out and work and vote for what you want!!!
