Because Pols didn’t give me much choice.
What we have in Colorado today is an economy that is trying desperately to recover, and thanks to Colorado’s low taxes and good business climate we are indeed doing better than many other states. Colorado is recovering from the Great Recession because of exactly the things Democrats want to undo.
The worst possible thing we could do now is raise taxes and increase regulation on key sectors of Colorado’s economy such as energy production. Every Coloradan should welcome a lower unemployment rate, but be resolved to protect it from any government schemes to siphon away prosperity. Pols wants you to read this and become complacent, I say you should read this report as a warning.
A dozen Obamabots are about to clobber me for trying to help readers of this blog see reason. Please consider what I am saying as you read their groupthink drivel. That is all I ask.
if you could SHOW us something that supports your assertions, that would be great.
We’re not dumb; we’ve seen all the slashed taxes of the 2000s, and that didn’t exactly create jobs or rev up the economy. Why should we worry about raising taxes, which in the past preceded good economic times?
Taking money out of the private sector by raising taxes kills jobs with much more guaranteed effect. If you have more money you MIGHT hire someone, but if you have less you DEFINITELY have to fire someone.
In other words, common sense. The real Aristotle would understand.
You know, show.
Not just repeat talking points.
Show.
All I really see is someone trying to get me to think the same way they think.
That’s groupthink.
I want to think the way I think.
Reasons, even.
At least three reasons not to bother reading your posts.
We have numerous job openings that we have had open for months. And we can’t find anyone qualified. We can’t even fill all of our internships. (Tons of applicants, but none of them are at the level we need.)
What we need more than anything is for the government to put in the effort to improve K-12 and to send everyone qualified who wants to go on to College. I’ll agree that only half this problem is financial. But 100% of it is needing the government to step up and do more.
The American economy has throughout its history been built on significant public investment. If we followed the lead of self-centered bozos like you we would be Somalia.
Because, you know, you might be a jerk.
Name calling doesn’t help. David is on our side, broadly. If you have a disagreement with his comment you can address the content; you don’t need to lob ad hominem attacks.
It isn’t even worth name calling on ArapaGOP. He may be a tool for the Republican Party, but that offers us the wonderful opportunity to keep up with the latest talking points.
(Calling ArapaGOP a tool is descriptive, not name calling.)
Maybe I you can make an exception for MarkG and Libertad. Never argue with libertarians as they are brainwashed cult members, and Libertad is less a tool and more of a nail, if you know what I mean.
But not to worry. I just put that down to Ralphie being Ralphie. (And I can be a jerk at times.)
David was looking for reasons why he has a hard time filling slots in his company.
I was simply offering a possibility.
Grow up and don’t be a sewer person like BJ, Libertad & ArapGOP.
It’s Ritter’s oppressive energy rules.
What none of you want to admit is that Colorado’s low taxes and business friendly climate, the things Democrats want to undo, are why we are recovering faster.
This simple fact looms over all your snark.
A fact you can’t show to be true isn’t a fact.
Let’s see some analysis.
