I have no problem cutting waste in military budgets.




Tax policy should not be punitive to those who create jobs, our current system is. Changing the focus to taxing consumption as opposed to work, savings and investment will have a positive affect on innovation, economic growth and employment. That is my approach. Let innovators, innovate. Let business owners grow their businesses. Let the efficient rise to the top - and everyone wins.

I am sorry that I am not going to take you through a bunch of business 101 citations to show the impact of taxation on small business owners. If you don't think what I describe is real - go out and talk to some business owners or start a business and report back to us in a year or two.

Also, I am not interested in Krugman - he is consistently wrong or misleading in my view. He has a political agenda that is not related to presenting truth. We will have to agree to disagree, on what you think he writes compared to what I think. Even the article cited today shows conflict with his Eman point of view.
