Never forget that there's life after death and taxes. That is a line from a song by one of my middle school favorite bands. You know, the ones that you listen to because they were cool. This is a true statement. I believe there must be life after death and taxes but that is not what this blog is about. Taxes is what this blog is about.

Increasing taxes make it harder for employers to hire new workers. Increasing taxes make it harder for people to buy things. Increasing taxes make it harder to get hired. Increasing taxes make it harder to sell things. Increasing taxes stifles an economy no matter who you raise them on. Since these are true and we can see them proven in our recent history, our current conditions, and the recent history of other world economies, we can say that the opposite of these statements must be true.

Decreasing taxes make it easier for employers to hire new workers. Did you know that if an employer hires a new worker, the employer has to pay a tax? Isn't that ridiculous? Decreasing taxes make it easier for people to buy things. When you decrease taxes people have more money to spend. When you decrease taxes, things become cheaper and thus easier to buy. These are very simple concepts to understand. Decreasing taxes make it easier to get hired. If employers aren't taxed to hire people, they will hire people. What is stopping them? Companies want to grow. Increasing their payroll increases the amount of work they can do. Decreasing taxes makes it easier to sell things. With decreased taxes, good produced will be cheaper. With more workers, companies can produce more and even that will make the product cheaper because there is more of that product. When Employers can hire more workers without getting penalized for it by being taxed out of the wazoo, there are more people that are available to pay a lower income tax.

It is simple. Keep taxes low and you will boost the economy, lower the unemployment rate, and make a lot of people happy. The more you spend, the better off a capitalist economy is. When the government takes away some of the power of the buyer, the economy suffers.
