Sometimes less is more...

The responsibility for creating jobs for black, white, hispanic or any other American does not rest with the President of the United States, as Juan Williams is claiming on Hannity & Colmes in response to the Bryant Gumbel comment on the lack of black athletes at the Olympics.

The best thing the federal government could do for struggling people in this country would be to stop trying to help them immediately. Short of rewriting the whole tax code, eliminating Social Security withholding and the death tax would go further in helping poor and lower middle class people than all of the schemes the Congress is trying now. Not only would they be able to invest in themselves, but they would be able to pass on all of their life savings to their families.

Of course, the current crop of self-serving ego-maniacal oligarchs who run our government would never consider such ideas because they couldn't claim to have solved everyone's problems for them, or even attempted to do so.

How ironic that the more they try to do, the less they end up with. Only by doing nothing will the US Congress have done everything it needs in order to "help" struggling Americans.

(UPDATE: Hannity just accused a college professor of "advocat[ing] extreme views like overthrowing the government", making one wonder if Hannity has heard of the Declaration of Independence and understands the meaning of its simple language!)
