Win/Win programs

I am too young to remember the Win program from President Ford, but it seems to me that President Obama should read up on a Republican’s plan.

Part of the Win program gave businesses a huge tax break if they created revenue. In other words JOBS!  Corporate tax rates were cut if a corporation grew their employee base and created jobs. So as an example if a company has 100 employees and the target is 20% they create 20 new positions their tax rate is kept low.

Another idea would be a tax credit for employee medical insurance underwritten by an employer. The new law which is creeping up on us makes employers strongly consider dropping coverage and joining state run pools.

Give firms a reason to expand. Current atmosphere  in this country is …..Who knows? Congress the White House have not given business any indication on which way to go.

Simply raising taxes so those in power can expand their political bases with entitlements, earmarks and completely useless programs is absolutely senseless .
