Are the Politics of the United States Corrupt?

I remember a time when we could trust our politicians, and the politics that they practice, over the past ten or fifteen years I have begun to wonder how far this trust should go, the country is in a bad way right now, and it would seem not to be getting any better.

We are having a horrible downturn in our economy due at the jobless rate, and the fact that businesses aren't hiring anybody, at the same time the people who are currently in office want to raise our taxes, an d the taxes on business, this makes the business owners have to lay people off.

The politicians need to think a bit more about what the things that they want to do will do to our country, I own a business and in times like these when our taxes get raised we have to lay people off just to stay in business.

As we lay people off our businesses start to make less money, due to the fact that our productivity goes down every time we have a lay off, so here's what happens, our productivity goes down, and our taxes go up, so we have to pay out more to taxes, but we have less to pay out.

This can quite literally be the difference between a business closing it's doors for ever, or staying in business and contributing to our country, hiring new workers as the demand for our products go up, and helping our country bail out of this funk.

I have come to the conclusion that is is not what the politicians want to happen, we have a president who wants to control one fifth of our economy by killing our health care system, and forcing people who don't have money to spend to buy health care insurance.

Americans hate to be forced to do anything because this is supposed to be a free country, the politicians also want to implement cap & trade, another horrible idea that neither the businesses, or the people can afford to happen.

If they don't start to pay attention to the things the country really needs, instead of the things that make them look good in the eyes of the campaign contributors, and the socialist and progressives that are around them, our country as we know it will be gone.

We all know that our country was built on small businesses, and the owners of those small businesses being able to continue hiring people to work for them, at this time they can't afford to hire more people because they don't know where the country is heading.

With the president saying that he wants to raise income tax to thirty nine percent while our country is hurting, business owners start to take measures to stay in business, and it usually includes layoffs, work our cuts, and less spending in general.

I don't know if you have done any studying on the economy and how it works, but when the economy is down it helps it when people, and businesses are spending money, and reinvesting in the economy, and people won't do that until they feel like they can.

Nothing on this earth is more American then owning a house, and a couple of cars, noting is more American then our people wanting to feel like they still have the capability of buying things and spending money.

When Americans are worried about the next thing that is coming down the pipe, we tend to start to put our money in to savings, and just hiding it in general to make sure that we'll still have some when we need it, and this doesn't help repair our economy.

We have no choice when we don't know what's gong on with our country, I think it's time to just root out Washington and start over again, we don't need to redistribute the wealth in the country as Obama would have you believe.

We need to help the free market rebuild itself, and it will be better and stronger just like all of the other times in the past, just let it run it's course and keep the politicians out of it, strengthen our dollar, and quit printing worthless money, and borrowing from China.

It's time for the true Americans to put their money where their mouth is, and help to fix the problem, let's get rid of the corruptness and make a fresh start again, let's make sure that this never happens again, and work on building our country back again.
