The conventions are over, the speeches have been given and now it is down to just two months of the media having something to cover before there will be a need for something new.

Although I don’t think that McCain was the most articulate speaker I ever heard I certainly agreed with 90% of what he said.  It is time to get Washington DC back to serving the citizens of the country rather than themselves.  It is time to get government out of the healthcare business (just ask those that have to deal with the idiocy of how the government runs the things they are involved in now!).  It is time to lower taxes to stimulate the economy.  Lower business taxes always stimulates the economy, why would anyone want to stay in business when everything they work for goes to support governmental programs that don’t work, are too expensive and unnecessary?  Why can’t the business owner keep a larger portion of the money they make?  They are the ones that are out there, fighting to get every sale, to make the services good so that people with come back to them and on and on and yet, the harder they work the more the government penalizes them with higher taxes.  Heck of a way to run a country, punish those that make the money to fund your stupid programs.

I know that with us, the more money we made the more we paid our staff, gave them greater benefits and bonuses.  Then taxes took over and they no longer could get the things we wanted to provide, too many taxes and not enough money left over to treat staff properly (or ourselves either!)

Like I said, he wasn’t the most eloquent speaker, but his message was from the heart, strong to his beliefs and I believe in the right direction for the country.  I sincerely hope he wins; it scares the crap out of me to think of the alternative.
