Poll question: JOBS your priority? You want jobs? I'll give you jobs...

LOWER the Social Security retirement age to 60 and the early retirement age to 55 and watch corporations empty as their 55+ employees choose retirement. Problem solved.

Oh yes, this could cost BIG bucks. Let's say that cost falls between, oh, say it costs $700 billion to $1.5 trillion. Guess it depends if you want to rehire the nation's workforce by opening up millions of EXISTING jobs to the labor market or pay the wealthiest 2% a Premium tax cut applied to their income above $250,000, a Premium that will cost about $700 billion dollars. America, choose: Premium tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% or, solve the labor problem virtually overnight for the $700 billion + maybe up to 6 of those shiny, new but soon-to-be antiquated, piloted, fighter jets.

AMERICA, vote:

Which do you want for your money?
