Change In The Wind

Our country's economy is falling while our national debit is rising. We buy energy from countries who fund terrorists who seek to destroy us. Rising costs and taxes force American companies to lay off workers and prevent or hinder global competition. In fact most things we buy in this country are made elsewhere like China. This is a course that leads to our doom. So America what do we do to reverse this trend? Well something Sarah Palin did in Alaska as Governor got me thinking. Why can't we let the major energy producers in this country create as much energy as possible? If there is oil to be had then let them drill for it. If the coal is so abundant then let them mine for it. And if someone wants to build a nuclear plant then let them build it. Think about it for just one second please. No more buying oil from people who hate us and want us dead. In fact with all our energy producers working at full capacity we could be the new energy providers for the rest of the world. Think of the profits think of the new jobs created. And best of all using Sarah Palin's Alaska example we could strike a deal with the energy companies. We take all the restrictions of them and turn them loose producing energy not just for us but the whole world. Now in return they share those rising profits with the American tax payer. The profits should be large enough to fund the federal government which means no more taxes. You heard me no more taxes. With federal taxes eliminated businesses could better compete on the global market also producing much needed jobs. I know I am over simplifying how this would work but why can't we try? What is congress and the White House doing that is actually helping the economy. I have more questions than answers but it is clear we have to do something different. We cannot afford to keep heading down the path that Washington has set for us. It is time for someone to grab the wheel and avoid the large iceberg in front of us.
