palin visits ohio

Governor Palin visited Ohio trying to rally the state for the upcoming election. With just twelve days left in this campaign Ohio could play a vital role in who becomes the next president of the United States of America. Governor Palin called for change especially in the economy. “We need someone with bold and fair plans”, said Palin.
With Senator McCain’s plan, people will be able to keep their homes and retirees will be able to keep their investments and savings. “We will put this economy back on track,” said Palin. They plan to do this by tax relief to every American, especially for small businesses. Getting small businesses going will provide a great jump start for or economy and start it back in the right direction. This is in response to Obama’s “joe the plumer” controversy. They believe small businesses will create many jobs and get the economy back on track. McCain and Palin will lower income taxes while increasing child tax deductions.
Governor Palin ended the speech by stating, “ Ohio, will you hire us?”.

Tax cuts and deductions sound great and everything because that means more money for everyone, but I feel like that's been the answer for the past how many years. A tax cut here, a stimulus check here, tax credit there, and yet the economy has just gotten worse.

I think targeting small businesses will help our economy. Small businesses can provide more than just the creation of jobs. The small business owner is the average guy walking the streets who needs financial assistance; therefore aiding his business will only make average American's fiscally stronger.

I agree that decreasing taxes for small businesses will benefit the economy because not only do they provide numerous jobs as the very foundation of our economy but tax cuts would also create incentives for people to start new businesses providing even more jobs.
