Jobs cannot be bought, they must be grown.

A purchased job is artificial and unsustainable. Government already cuts nearly half of all of the new paychecks in the United States. Long lasting jobs that pay well are not bought, they are grown. Job growth comes from a stable, rational environment in the government and in the marketplace where a company can expand operations and hire new workers.

Job growth starts with a government that obeys the law.

Innovation becomes enterprise, which then becomes jobs. Enterprise cannot effectively organize under chaotic governments, or when burdened by enormous regulations and heavy taxation. Today we have too few jobs that are paying too small wages - mostly because of the huge cost of taxes and compliance, and from gambling on a chaotic market disturbed by a lawless government.

Governments ignoring the Constitution lead to crime, poverty, and unemployment.

When our own politicians fail to respect the rule of law for governments, that being the Constitution, then this disrespect for the rule of law ends up spilling over into civil and private realms leading to higher crime and the ensuing unemployment and poverty. A government that does no more or less than it is supposed to, will lead to greater liberty and respect all around.

Grow Jobs by getting Government under control and back to the Constitution.

The way back to jobs and general prosperity starts by reigning in government and enforcing the people's will through the Constitution. When you back the government out of our small businesses that hire, they will have more resources to expand, meet growing markets, and hire new workers at a fair wage.

Restoring the Constitution means more jobs and better pay!

Mind if I use this (shortened a bit) for a letter to the editor?

Please, by all means do. :) People want jobs most of all. If we can connect job growth to the Constitution, then we'll actually have a downhill battle this time for RP12 :cool:

Here's what Washington doesn't seem to get: We (small businesses) exist to make a profit, not to "create jobs." But let's say that we do exist to create jobs. Government regulations are impeding our ability to do so. (Though, killing small businesses is how fascists (http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Fascism.html) roll.)

Because many costs are fixed, small businesses pay about a third more per employee than larger companies, finds the SBA.

Thanks for the links! They will help a lot for background and backup when I am articulating that major point about Federal regulations hindering natural job growth.

I am going to post this on LDS Freedom Forum with full attribution to "GunnyFreedom on Ron Paul Forums" if that is all right. If not all right, let me know and I will delete it.

Awesome post!

Welcome! DH read the Inc. piece one morning, and govt bureaucrats promptly went about proving it for over an hour.

Government Jobs themselves are a huge liability to the American Taxpayers. Not only does it consume decades in salaries, benefits, etc... then it's and even greater liability for decades of paying for their retirements and health care... when they produce absolutely nothing.

It comes down to why we are declining in the industrial world... since all these politicians keep using, "It's a global economy" Here it is: How can Americans and businesses compete globally, let alone locally, when the U.S. has the most expensive government on the planet?

Jobs cannot be bought, they must be grown.
As in free the hemp industry! Legalizing and allowing hemp farming would produce massive amounts of jobs. Hemp is every bit as valuable of a crop as corn, wheat, beans, or cotton. There is no excuse for hemp being illegal in America in the 21st century. No excuse whatsoever!

You are "right on" in this thread Gunny! :cool:

Paul said something about govt bureaucrats during the POTUS campaign. It went something like, "One of the problems with hiring bureaucrats is, they need to find something to do, and that something is usually bothering you."

A friend and I wrote the following letter to a local paper, inspired by your post, Gunny.


Just about every candidate this election cycle wants to “create” or “save” jobs. The question is, how?

In a February 21 Your View, incumbent legislator Kathy Brynaert asserted that a “comprehensive capital investment [bonding] bill is one of the best ways government can support job creation.”

Representative Brynaert thinks that a job can be bought with taxpayer money, or worse, with debt borrowed against future taxpayers. Does she also believe that one can fill a swimming pool by pumping water from the deep end to the shallow?

On her campaign web site, Brynaert claims to have “created 10,000 jobs” for Minnesotans. Left unsaid is how that was accomplished, especially considering that our seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate has moved from 4.5% when she took office four years ago to 7.0% in the most recent month for which data is available, according to positivelyminnesota.com.

Long-lasting, high-paying jobs cannot be purchased; they must be grown. Real, enduring job growth comes from a stable, rational environment in both government and the marketplace. Minnesota businesses—and the innovations and jobs they generate—struggle under our large, unpredictable government, pervasive regulations, and heavy taxation. Representative Brynaert’s contributions during the last two sessions earned her two 0% ratings from legislative watchdog Taxpayers League of Minnesota.

This November 2, look for Dave Kruse (http://www.kruseforhouse.com/) on your ballot. As the father of two young sons, he’s committed to ending our legislature’s habit of spending money we don’t have. He’ll work to eliminate the multi-billion dollar budget deficit and reestablish Minnesota as a magnet for business investment and the durable, sustainable jobs that will still be there when his sons are grown.
