Tax Freedom for Two Months! We’ll spend for sure!
Great news: more news coverage for the TAX FREEDOM stimulus!!! That is, to halt the payroll tax deductions from our meager pay checks with the totally predicted result that we will SPEND!!! Former Governor Huckebee is talking about it! Go Huck! And so is Glenn Beck! There is sanity out there it seems! Of course, no attention from 44 since it is not 44’s plan. So many egos in Washington DC! 44 continues to speak of his “shovel ready” stimulus plans. So what’s that mean really? ‘Shovel’ meaning ‘construction’? Construction plans result in draws that have a lag time of perhaps 12 to 24 months to put actual money out there - - that is, into the wallet of the construction worker - even with taxes. OMG How difficult is it really to connect the dots that a larger paycheck would immediately result in consumer spending?!! Ya think the marble buildings on Capitol Hill decay the brains of the legislators? OMG Why does Capitol Hill and 44 continue to look at projects such as a new lawn for the Jefferson Memorial plus ‘green’ parks for dogs in California? Remarkably, the only mention by 44 was at the Town Hall in Fort Myers and all he said was “we are looking at giving you your payroll tax back.” KISS Keep it simple sillie! Just halt the tax deduct! No need for paperwork to pay it back to us in yet another check issued by the government. If my check is larger, I will spend. Statistics report that we are all living paycheck to paycheck – increase the check, it will be spent. Everyone, pace yourself and I will do same. Adios
