DO SOMETHING

As we come upon the 2012 Presedential Election, we are forced to take a look at the state of our nation, find the problems (of which there are many) and offer solutions. Certainly the most prominent problem of this election with be the economy - an issue that is not much different than where we were four years ago when obama promised us "hope". It is clear that the american people are still struggling. Businesses are still struggling. and for some reason, its up to the government to fix it. We need lower taxes, on both businesses and the people. Put money back in our pockets. It will give businesses the capability to hire and the people the ability to buy from the businesses, which will in turn get this economy moving. "Then how will the government pay for this massive debt?" you might ask. Because more people will be hired and self sufficient, we'll be able to cut back on the amount of money that goes towards social programs.

now, this is certainly only a little thing, and would be much more complicated to implement than what i have just laid out. what this nation needs is a swift kick in the pants. My generation is a spoiled, entitled bunch that has no idea what it means to work their way up. a piece of paper does not guarantee you your dream job straight out of college. There are jobs out there. I myself have been offered three in the last two days. they're crummy jobs. Jobs i don't want by any means. but IT'S A JOB. take it. get off your butt. and help get this economy moving. We need a president who recognizes this and has no qualms of telling the american people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Remember when Kennedy said, "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country?" yeah, we need that attitude back. cue Mr. President's motivational, ass-kicking speech.
