To take from President Clinton’s line.  (Which was “It’s the economy, stupid.”)

I’m watching the debate on ABC right now.  They’re talking about how they aren’t going to raise taxes on the “middle income”, and in the next breath how they’re going to raise the capital gains taxes.  Well, I’m certainly middle income, and I have capital gains.  So you’re going to raise my taxes!  Besides history shows you get more money from the capital gains tax when it’s lower.  So it doesn’t make sense to raise it.

The budget deficit for our country is quite large.  Somewhere around $9 trillion.  It seems to me the government has a spending problem.  It doesn’t make sense to spend more than you make.  If you spend too much you can’t spend as much the next month.  Cut government spending.  Get the federal government back to what it is supposed to do, instead of everything it has decided it should do now.  Even if you don’t cut my taxes right now, but cut government spending, I’d be okay with that IF the extra money paid off the national debt.

We need strong fiscally conservative leadership in our country.
