Another Orin Hatch news letter and survey, See how I answered him. LOL

I just received another Orin Hatch email. Here is the email I received and my answer:

Please fill out the form below with YOUR suggestions on how you think Congress should get our fiscal house in order. I’ve always felt that the best solutions come from Utah, and by submitting your ideas we can ensure that Utah’s values are represented before the Committee.

Due to the large number of responses, I unfortunately can only respond to submissions from Utah residents, though I appreciate all comments.  You must fill out the address field if you would like a response.

Repealing ObamaCare

Privatizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

No Spending Cuts

What do you believe the income threshold should be for raising taxes? * I said $250,000

If you have other suggestions for how the Super Committee should find over a trillion dollars in savings please write your message below.

Here they are:

Raise all taxes to the level during the Clinton Administration, eliminate all tax deductions and special interest tax credits, assistance and other tax expenses, such as oil exploration assistance, foreign investment grants to large corporations to expand their company into foreign nations, farm subsidies, and other such subsidies.

Create several indexes for higher taxes on incomes brackets of 1 million to 5 million to 10 million and so on. 

Change the tax rate on capital gains on non-retirement plan investment qualified earnings and inheritance over 500,000 as ordinary income and subject to the same tax rates as wages and salaries.

Study all the nationalized healthcare systems around the world, pick the best and most cost effective delivery model obtained from this study as a way to reduce healthcare costs to Medicare/Medicaid and private/public healthcare and to include a public option. 

Reduce your salary and that of house members until the wages of ordinary workers are increased relative to the income increases of management of a corporation. If the working class doesn't have spendable income, they don't purchase goods and service and that limits job growth.

Only with an increase in revenue, elimination of deductions and some limited spending cuts, along with an infrastructure investment and wage increases for the working class can we turn the economy around. Tax cuts do not stimulate job growth because it does not increase demand for goods and services as evidenced by the Bush 2 tax cuts that ended with 8 million jobs lost by the end of 2009, Bush's budget year. 

More spending cuts without revenue will exacerbate the recession by limiting money circulation in the retail sector with the loss of government jobs and cash infusion in goods purchased by government. Most economists say that spending cuts now is the wrong approach to improve the economy. 

Why do you insist on ignoring the economists and further harming the economy and job growth? Is re-election and Republican power that important that you will harm the country and the working class for your self interest? I am ashamed you are from Utah, the state that use to care about people and had a moral conscience to work for the collective good of all people, not just the rich and powerful. Senator Hatch, you have sold your soul to the devil by continuing on the path you are on now. 

Conservatism is not ignoring the facts and truths presented to us by knowledgeable people for political gain. Your long standing honor is at stake here. You use to be respected, but now you are loosing that respect with the exception of the Tea Party group, to whom you are kneeling down to in submission.
