Kudos to Tom Donahue

This is a copy of a letter I sent to Neil Cavuto:

Dear Neil,

Kudos to Tom Donohue, the President and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce, who was being interviewed on your time segment of Fox News at 4:30 PM Monday 7/12. I am in full agreement and have been touting for a long time what he was saying. We would have the richest, debt free nation on the planet if we would make use of the vast resources of this land of milk and honey that God has graced us with. And we have the people with the skills that can tap that wealth in an environmentally friendly way. Hopefully we’ll someday get the people we need to wrest this nation from the grip of the fools who are preventing us from using these resources.

Donohue also made good sense of the way to raise revenue. He left one important thing out. We often forget the most obvious thing. I was waiting for him to mention that when we get people working they pay taxes on their income and the businessman/woman they work for prospers, pays taxes commensurate with this income and enables the business to grow and take on other tax paying employees.

Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and their confederates think it’s a clever mantra to use the phrase “tax breaks for the rich.” If they had their way they’d take all the working capital away from the job providers. I’m a retired construction electrician who made a good living in New York and I never begrudged Donald Trump getting richer with all the construction work he did in New York, providing me and so many other tradesmen with good livings. We didn’t have the capital. We provided the labor. Trump and other people like him provided the capital and thank God they did. They could have simply retired to a life of leisure on some vacation island somewhere. Thanks too that they kept that energy up and still do.
