The first thing that needs to be changed when trying to create jobs; is our understanding of taxation. The only ones paying taxes are individuals..No matter how much we tax a business or an organization it does not pay one thin dime..All costs including taxes, regulation and permits are passed on to consumers, or taken from employees and stock holders...The only thing taxing a business does, is make it more expensive to do business. When ever taxes are levied on a business the first to suffer is the employee..Their wages are either lowered, frozen or stop all together due to layoff.. Next comes the detriment to the company's market share. The cost of the increase in taxes and regulation; is passed on to the consumers. Making it certain buyers will consider purchasing the item from a producer with lower costs; such as companies in third world countries. The company stock looses value as it it's ability to pay dividends decreases, drying up investment.
THE SOLUTION TO JOB CREATION IS.
Make this country the least complicated, most profitable and cheapest place on earth to start up or run a business. That is what creates jobs.. This is such an easy concept to grasp why do our politicians continue to destroy our economy by destroying our businesses? In my opinion it is because of ignorance, fear and especially envy. The Bible teaches that envy is the cruelest, and most unreasonable of all human emotions..Anger can be appeased and soothed. Ignorance can be educated and enlightened. Fear can be reasoned with, and abated with encouragement..But envy is unreasonable, unable to be placated or enlightened. The Bible tells us, " Wrath is cruel, anger is outrageous, but who is able to stand before envy"? It also teaches contentment is the life or joy of our existence in this world...While envy is rottenness of the bones, and corrupts our very being.
I can think of no better example of what envy can do to an individual and those around them; then to look at one of the most pathetic figures in all of human history; Karl Marx..I have read biographies of him, as well as his work and personal papers. There is no human in history that lusted more, for the power and privilege that accompanies wealth than Karl Marx. His life was spent in what can only be described as unimaginable bitterness. He was unwilling to labor or invest effort to produce a product that would add value and wealth to society. Instead he lusted for and envied the economic gains of those who were willing to. He was completely reliant on the charity of the rich whom he hated, envied and wanted to destroy
There were injustices for sure in Marx's day..They were being preached against in Christian pulpits all over Christendom .. In my study of history I found that the child labor laws, work week and workplace improvements, as well as the better treatment of criminals and the mentally impaired; were in large part due to the activism of Christians, and their leaders. Just as was the case with the demise of slavery and Jim Crow.
Because Marx hated Christianity and the Biblical God even more than those who had more money than he did. He came to draft documents that have caused more misery, poverty, starvation and loss of liberty than any other writings in human history. The insatiable hatred and envy of the rich, and contempt for God that permeates the writings of Marx, is still being felt today.. Many countries that have rejected the Bible use his teachings as a guide to government. The world is now on the precipice of economic collapse. Not because of the oppression of private enterprise, or too much individual liberty, or the right to private property. Our current job situation is due to politicians playing to mankind's most destructive instincts.
The Bible clearly teaches us, we can not prosper by destroying, and stealing from those who have more than us. Nor is it fair to over regulate, punish or burden businesses that have committed no crime..Do we punish all of our children when one disobeys..Proverbs 17 verse 26, "To punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity"..Tearing someone else down does make us their equal. It only takes us lower and makes it harder for everyone else to prosper.
