The Goose that lays the Golden Eggs

Okay my friends, I'm going to try be less controversial when I post political blogs. You know of my passion for freedom, and that comes from limited government. But, I'll try to avoid getting personal about the people in office. The message of truth and freedom will ring true.

For example: There seems to be two philosophical distinctions between left and right on the governance of our freedoms, including taxes and the very view people have about the machinations of government.

In regards to taxes:
  • Liberals want TEMPORARY, TARGETED taxes and an INCREASE IN SPENDING to solve all of our problems.
  • Conservatives want PERMANENT, BROAD-BASED tax cuts, and a DECREASE IN SPENDING (In other words, limited government).
Measure for yourself how people and businesses will react to the two different views of their economic life.

Brit Hume said it best (I'm paraphrasing): "Republicans want to protect the Goose that lays the Golden Eggs. Liberals want to divide up the eggs---income redistribution."
Again, measure the real life effect with each approach.
More later, Wade
