Comments on: Why the Stimulus Won’t Work: A 12-Gauge Tax Hike http://blog.heritage.org/2009/02/10/why-the-stimulus-wont-work-a-12-gauge-tax-hike/ Tue, 14 Feb 2012 11:16:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Steven, Lexington MA http://blog.heritage.org/2009/02/10/why-the-stimulus-wont-work-a-12-gauge-tax-hike/#comment-20277 Steven, Lexington MA Wed, 04 Mar 2009 12:09:03 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/2009/02/10/why-the-stimulus-wont-work-a-12-gauge-tax-hike/#comment-20277 0bama was a professor at a Chicago University (which on matters not) His one and only course he taught, used Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" as the sole text. To understand why 0bama is intentionally auguring the nation into bankruptcy, one has to look at the big picture of what his ultimate goal is. If America is to fully embrace Socialism, 0bama has to bring capitalism to it's knees, to the point where we are so far down, that Socialism, or even Communism for that matter, looks like up from here. The reckless spending (as much as can possibly be shoved down our throats) has a very specific purpose, it is to intentionally cripple the nation. Our future is being sacrificed on the alter of Socialism. The real crime is no one is speaking up about it.

If you make over $250,000 per year, BO thinks you're rich! His 'stimulus' will 'only' tax the top earners, to wit, the ones who employ us, and the top 5% who cover the Government's income and spending programs. I guess his only alternative move will be to print more paper dollars to cover his spending plans and further reduce the value of the dollar. What a scary joke!

Since the growth in money supply has grown so much and will not apparently be reduced , inflation is not setting in because of the low velocity. If this is so, then the velocity is the key. Will the impending tax hikes keep velocity down or are we inevitably looking at a stagflation period? What does monetary theory say about this?

Not only is government making the problems larger, I believe that they want to and will continue to take wealth from Americans.
