Show TTrrrr-mnTnrTTB" g g o win b Time to return to free enterprise Dear Editor Wallis: In sifting through the comments made by the news media, and others pertaining as to how President-elect Ronald Reagan "can fulfill his campaign cam-paign promises to cut taxes and reduce the budget." If people would read just how much taxpayer's money is wantonly wasted by Congress with its bureaucracies, bureaucrats, beefed-up contracts, welfare excesses, ridiculous consulting fees put out by Congress to hire someone to take care of their obligations, and not knowing if the work was done. You take the summation of these billions of outright wasted dollars and the answer to the aforementioned question is quite obvious ! Do away with the people responsible for this horrible waste! The big problem will be how to get rid of these free-loading parasites, they aren't going to get off the "gravy-train" "gravy-train" without a fight! But I think by cutting the "feeder-line" "feeder-line" from the portion of Congress which started this mess, government-by-government, not government-by-the-people, the problem can be solved. It is time we returned to private enterprise, without government interference. in-terference. By re-establishing the initiative, innovation, and doing away with all the red tape, which is costing the taxpayers billions of hidden costs, we can put our people back to work. Private enterprise has been shackled much too long by people who do not have the ability to dictate. Most people do not realize fifty percent of the cost of petroleum products are taxes. This isn't helping to get self-sufficiency in solving our energy problems! Our nation was made the greatest, and richest nation in the world by the private enterprise system, not by big government. The ability of the American people , if allowed to use their own initiative and original ideas, without being hampered, there is no limit to what they can do! Sincerely yours, J.A. MCKNIGHT |
