Raising taxes, lowering taxes. No matter what you do, you will hurt one person and be praised by another. One universal fact is that if you want to stimulate the economy, you need to attack it from every angle. That includes tax cuts, tax reform, economic incentives, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY determining how much the government influences the economy through discretionary spending.

If the government keeps spending money as a necessity to stimulate the velocity of money, then we are talking about a government that needs more money to operate, which could potentially mean more money in YOUR pocket, if you work in an area that is influenced by the government. I could go on and on for days, but this problem is beyond democrats and republicans. Its a cultural problem with the whole world.
