Products come from business

Tue., Jan. 12, 2010

The Spokesman-Review

This should be mandatory reading for every lawmaker, member of the administration, judge, teacher, high school student and all citizens in general. The government does not produce a product that makes money. It only confiscates its money from the taxpayer. The same applies to unions. They do not produce a product but confiscate their money from their members. Only businesses produce products that sell and make real money.

How hard can this be to understand? Yet, it seems like the majority of Americans miss this point completely and actually believe that the government makes money. Government can only print money which devaluates real money.
