  <text>Businesses don't pay taxes.  Instead, all taxes supposedly levied on businesses are passed down the line of production as price increases on what consumers pay for products and services they consume; in effect, they are an invisible tax burden on everyone--rich and poor--in the nation.  Ending &quot;business&quot; taxes--even if it meant increasing taxes on individuals--would lower product prices, make the actual tax burden that a person bears more transparent, and encourage business development in the nation, spurring the economy.  Creating a business environment where business owners no longer needed to spend billions of dollars a year finding an exploiting tax loopholes to stay competitive would help corporations keep workers in the US.</text>

  <text>Our nation has been on the trail to socialism for a long time now.  Socialism distorts values and encourages waste.  Socialism puts money in the hands of those who do not know what to do with it.

By reversing our trend towards socialism will be a fundamental change and lead us towards true sustainable change and more prosperity.</text>

  <text>A number of well known and highly respected business leaders and academics have been appointed to Obama&#8217;s Transition Economic Advisory Board, none of them has any practical experience in starting or growing a new business in the current economic clime.

President Elect Obama should both seek and have the input of people like those whose businesses will provide the catalyst for turning this recession around.</text>
