Beliefs!

I'm not really sure why, but I have been bottling up a lot of stuff over the past month. So with my first post, I introduce a few talking points that I feel are important to me.

Now, my liberal friend's please do not disregard this note. It is by no means meant to be a "shot" at you. I welcome you to provide input, criticism, and a constructive voice (it is WE, the youth, that will soon run this country).

NOW, this is what I think we need for our country (of course only a small insight to a select few problems...we have more issues to deal with too!).

We need tax breaks for businesses (yes, those evil rich people) because these are the people that know how a capitalist economy functions (the GUTS of America and what led our country to greatness) !! They are the real creators of jobs and the investors in the market. They create growth and prosperity. Taxing them creates pressure on businesses and ultimately leads to decreased profit and layoffs (like it or not...this is obama's plan---taxing them).

Bonus: More jobs

Which leads me to my next point:

As far as corporate outsourcing is concerned, we need to provide incentives for CEO's and big company's to hire American workers...this is government at its best. Limited interaction, but keeping growth in our society. Just eliminating them from your economic policy and taxing them does not benefit anyone! Give them a choice! These companies employ millions of Americans, let them GROW and hire American workers--don't punish them!

Bonus: More jobs

So now I want to talk about what I thought was a MAJOR point in this election (and a key contributor to me voting for McCain):

Foreign independence. We need to really look at our energy policies. Right now Nuclear is one of our cheapest, most efficient supplies of energy. Modern nuclear plants reprocess waste, which will lead to waste becoming a non-factor (almost). Also, with new developments into "fast breeder reactors" we can basically create nuclear power that will last for billions of years. How about that?( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power) <---read up people. One of my main reasons for voting McCain was for his energy policy...he really wanted to invest in nuclear power...maybe he was on to something? I think so.

Bonus: Foreign independence & more jobs!

Furthermore, our country has some of the largest coal and oil shale deposits in the world. Yes, you heard me, in the WORLD. Equal to or greater than energy in what we get from OPEC. Its large, vast...etc. Lets start tapping into this while we continue our ventures into renewable energy and nuclear power.

Bonus: Foreign independence & more jobs

This is all I got for now, and dammit, educate yourselves. There are much better things out there than politicians AND the media lead you to believe. Let our generation be everything that we all hope it to be. We can lead our country, we can turn things around.
