The Government Doesn't Create Jobs

The government doesn't create meaningful and sustaining jobs. The only jobs they create are public government jobs, which grow government and require more income tax revenue as they grow those public jobs. Many jobs created by the government are temporary jobs as in road and bridge repairs and construction, but as I said these are only temporary positions. The more money we give to the government the larger they expand and within that expansion come freedom and liberty loss through over regulation, and social engineering burdens. In essence, the larger the government grows, the more freedom and liberty is ceded to the government.

That being said, I am not saying we don't need certain safety nets, and protections. We need to have and maintain the most powerful military in the world. We need police and firefighters. We need some sort of assistance for fellow Americans that need a helping hand, but not a nanny state cradle to grave entitlement. We need sound and practical laws and regulations that protect our citizens. But all these things must be finely balanced and kept to a reasonable and fiscally sound level.

Free markets and the private sector create jobs. A private investor or inventor sees a need that they believe they can bring to fruition, take the risk of putting up the money, and if their venture is sound and viable they will succeed and yes maybe even become wealthy. If they are wrong or mismanage their venture and are not fair to the consumer they will fail, and rightfully so, we should let them and not bail them out with tax payer dollars. It's called free market capitalism and it is how this great nation has achieved such greatness within a relatively short period of time in the grand scheme of human history. They create long lasting and meaningful jobs, with healthcare plans and retirement accounts. As they reinvest and grow they create more jobs. As more and more jobs are added to the economy, more money is generated because more people have money to spend, and more tax revenue is sent to the government to keep us strong and safe.

But when government becomes too overreaching and regulates to death the possibility of business start-up and expansion, creation of new business, expansion of existing business, and jobs die. When this happens less money will go to the government to protect and keep us safe. In essence we become weaker and vulnerable. When this happens government grows larger and liberty, freedom, and opportunity are diminished. We create a socialist welfare state, where the citizens must depend on the government to survive and the government holds the power over the people, not the people over the government as it should be. Eventually you reach a point in the country where you pit the rich against the poor in class warfare as the government casts blame on the rich for all the woes of the nation, when in reality it is the large overreaching government that's to blame.

We must awaken from our slumber, and take control of our nation. We must stand up to the government and demand they become fiscally sound and allow our free markets to thrive. The government must understand that they must be reduced not increased, in the most prudent and safest way. The government must understand we are the boss, not them, and we know what's best for "We the People". Until that day happens, we will only fall deeper and deeper into gutter.
