Is Obama "Destroying" the Economy?

I have two ideas on how to improve the economy (please read).

Legalize Cannabis. The taxes generated by the legal sale of cannabis whether it is for medical or recreational use will generate enough money to help improve the economy. The single best idea though is the removal of all tax loopholes and charging a flat tax. In this example, we will say 10%. If you have $100.00, you pay $10.00. These three things would really help the economy. And yes, you can be a democratic socialist and believe in a flat tax as long as you remove all tax loopholes.

Should the global economy ever be "reset"?

Get government out of the economy

It seems to me that the answer to everyone’s political problems, is that government is essentially controlling our economy. The left says they believe corporations are buying and corrupting politicians, the right says they believe the government is forcing the corporations to buy politicians in order to survive extreme regulations and taxes. The left doesn’t like that the government influences wor...ld policies in order to secure oil. The right doesn’t like it that we are forced to look in other countries for oil because Environmental lobbyists have bought politicians. The left doesn’t like it that American jobs are going overseas, the right doesn’t like it that companies feel they have no choice but to go overseas. The left doesn’t think the rich give enough the right doesn’t think anyone should be forced to “give” and so on and so on. So what’s the answer…?Make it illegal for government to be involved in our economy and that has to include the inability to FORCE people to pay taxes as well as the inability to borrow. The only way (I can see) to stop corruption is to make it illegal for government to regulate, subsidize, borrow, bail out and tax. The only way for the people to control corporations is if we as consumers have the last say (by way of how we spend our money). For example right now, if we want to boycott a company (they poison children, don’t pay their employees well, destroy the environment, whatever) the government will just come in and bail them out. Corporations have no accountability to consumers when that happens they owe their success to politicians and not because they do the right thing, provide a desired product or manage their company correctly, which is how they are suppose to find success. If we give the power to the government to “fix” everything then we also give them the opportunity, and essentially permission, to be corrupted.
