Jobs and The Economy

Federal policies have harmed our ability to prosper in the marketplace.
Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy and employ over half
of all Americans. The recession was inevitable because of Federal policies working
against small businesses. We must reverse Federal policies to save small
businesses, even though corporations and special interests are against it.

Size and Scope of Government

When government takes half of the wealth of the people, dictates what
individuals can and cannot do in their personal lives, and spends trillions of
dollars it does not have, government is too big.  Government cannot be large
unless it is sustained by high taxes.  To lower taxes, we must downsize
the federal government.  Downsizing the federal government should be first
on the agenda, then reducing and eliminating income taxes.

Bailouts
It is a futile hope to think the Federal Government will save us from our economic
crisis.
The Federal Government should not put responsibility on taxpayers (and future
generations) to bail out irresponsible banks and corporations. When small
businesses fail, the Federal government does not swoop in to save them, and it
should not be any different with banks and corporations.
