America has indeed been moving in the wrong direction at the national level (under the con of the ObaMessiah and his handlers), but there are still enough with common sense to reverse this, lest we devolve into Greece with its lack of fiscal logic and too many guvment giveaways.

Florida and Texas are thriving-- with NO state income taxes!

That's a brilliant summary of pro-growth policies, on the supply-side and in a free-market context.

Kennedy slashed tax rates and held down the budget. So did Ronald Reagan, who borrowed Kennedy's ideas: smaller government, lower tax-rate incentives and a thriving middle class, where the economic pie grows ever larger....
