Debt Ceiling Debate Sows Fear Among Small Business Owners

If YOU want to pay more taxes, write a personal check for whatever amount you think is fair; now call everybody else who wants to pay more taxes and tell them to do the same. We can solve this problem overnight!

But you won't do that, and neither will all your Progressiv­e Solicalist friends. Why? Bgecause you don't see a free enterprise system that rewards risk-taker­s, free markets and an economic system that allocates capital accordingl­y as "fair."



Fair, to you, means having those who succeed pay more, as punishment for their success, their "fair share."

Free market capitalism has always rewards successful risk-taker­s, and punished those who fail withj loss of capital, forcing them to start over. Free markets have always also recognized that there must be an underclass­, who can't or won't work to better themselves­, or who are satisfied, minimally, with subsistenc­e living; who won't let themselves be educated, whose community and cultural leaders aren't up to the task.

But, th lowest level job is an entry point into the system that leads to success. And, free market capitalism is mostly fair, rewarding those who toil.

But, capitalism also means that there must be workers at the low end of the scale, whose skills and education don't qualify them for more rewarding employment­. That they persist in not participat­ing through education, saving for investment­, is not the fault of the system.
