The Government’s Fair Share
Adjusted for inflation, the stimulus bill was bigger than the Louisiana Purchase. It was over half the size of the Marshal plan that rebuilt Europe after WWII. It cost more than the entire space program from Apollo, to the end of the Shuttle program. Ignore for a minute that we got nothing for it and just ask yourself where it came from.
Each Friday, I sit at my desk and write nine thousand dollars worth of payroll checks. I send thirty three hundred dollars to the government and distribute fifty seven hundred to my employees. They call it an employer’s tax, then they wonder why there are fewer manufacturing jobs in this country than at any time in the last fifty years. If I manage to show a profit I’ll pay corporate income tax, and if there’s anything left to take home I’ll pay capital gains taxes. Out of that comes sales tax, property taxes and everything we buy has hidden taxes embedded in their cost because the employers tax was assessed against everyone who made, transported, packaged or sold it.
The average American doesn’t see it all, but if you work in this country, the government takes half of everything you produce. We send people to Congress to spend it without the slightest expectation that they will do it responsibly because they are not equipped to do it responsibly. Ayn Rand said it best. “If you had a time machine and could go back ten thousand years to a primitive society, who would be most likely to bring them electricity, cars and planes, a hundred bureaucrats, or a dozen businessmen”.
At 75 billion dollars a week, half or our economy is operated by the government. Instead of individuals exercising economic power by their own free choices, political power is exercised by force. Force works well if you are repelling an invading army or defending the streets from criminals, but it is just the wrong tool for regulating an economy. Their excuse is the common good. Communist Russia has a system designed for the common good, and the Russian people have been starving for three generations.
In a free market, the economy is regulated by individuals making decisions in their own best interests. If a company produces an inferior product, or charges too much for it, the market will put him out of business. That system worked so well that the poorest Americans became so rich that the rest of the world risked everything to come here. It advanced mankind farther in two hundred years than every other system had in the history of the world.
Every government program from Social Security to Obama Care has decreased our ability to make choices in our own interests. Obama Care is not the end of this process. It’s just another step in the direction we have been moving for sixty years. Every two years we vote for a new crop of politicians in the hope that they will spend our money more wisely or run their half of the economy more efficiently, and as a result we are for the first time in our history leaving the next generation a country that is poorer and less free than we found it.
