Principles Over Party
Posted on | September 16, 2010 | No Comments
“Principles Over Party” – seems like the perfect tag line for the campaign of an Independent candidate in this climate.
Coincidentally, it happens to be the tag line of an Independent candidate here in Arizona. One who is bold enough to take on John McCain, Ian Gilyeat.
One who is actually Conservative.
And pragmatic. He just posted this on Facebook.
The activists have found me. My email box is filling up. Demands for a “pledge” that pits “main street” against “wall street”. Last time I checked some of the employees living on main street receive their paycheck from a few companies traded on wall street. How is it possible to be “against” one and “for” the other. Seems to me both parties need the company to be healthy and profitable.
The concept is one I have been meaning to blog on, but he captures it pretty succinctly there.
Main Street needs Wall Street, Wall Street needs Main Street.
Class warfare benefits only the ruling class.

They Said It:
The mounting burden of taxation not only undermines individual incentives to increased work and earnings, but in a score of ways discourages capital accumulation and distorts, unbalances, and shrinks production. Total real wealth and income is made smaller than it would otherwise be. On net balance there is more poverty rather than less.
