Do you get tired of politicians talking about how many jobs they have created? Or how few jobs their opponents have created? The President claims his administration has created so many million jobs. And Governor Romney says his policies will create so many million jobs.

They speak rubbish.

If government creates a job it does so with money it takes from someone. It takes it from individual taxpayers. It takes it from businesses – as taxpayers.

What do you suppose people and businesses would have done with the money that government took? Would they have baked it into casseroles? People would have spent it. Which would have created jobs. People would have invested it. Which would have created jobs. Businesses would have done the same. Thus creating jobs.

But they did not. Because government took that money. And tried to create jobs with it. There have been many studies which have concluded this: Government is the least efficient when it comes to creating anything, including jobs. Individuals and businesses are far more efficient than government. So why not leave more money with them? And stop taxing it away?

The best way government can help an economy is by getting out of the way of its people. By getting off their backs. By truly reducing the regulations and red tape.

This is not brain surgery. Everywhere you look government slows business. It impedes business. Does not mean to, but it does.
