Is there a solution to the economic problems facing the United States of America? Of course there is. A simple solution.
STOP BEING STUPID!
Invalidate ALL the Tax Exemptions, most especially the self-proclaimed churches, of any and all denominations . All (meaning everybody) should be taxed at the highest rate available in the land, and the IRS should be charged to dutifully and rigorously collect every single penny due.
STOP BEING STUPID!
Corruption, greed, and downright fraud in government perpetrated by lobbyists, staff members, and myriad lackeys of elected government officials should be sought out and punished to the hilt. This would free up many millions (billions?) of dollars for use in government programs that will bring prosperity to the citizens that only a truly benevolent small government can provide to a free society.
Most of all . . .
STOP BEING STUPID!
