I have a simple plan to solve the economic crisis. Give every American a $100 credit to the dog track of their choice. I have found the puppies to be a reliable source of income with a consistent rate of return.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My dogs are a priority and a big responsibility... but the payoffs are well worth it.
As anyone who goes into dog-rescue knows, it is not a for-profit business, but the rewards are priceless for me.
The biggest single challenge to America and our future is income inequality. We've got to fix it.
So tonight I propose one more step that I would rather not propose. I ask the most fortunate among us, those citizens earning over $100,000 per year, for one year, to pay an additional one percent on the income they receive.
From day one, my focus as a new-breed appropriator was to look for areas where we could save taxpayer dollars.
We can go back to economic plans that are only designed to benefit the wealthiest among us, like Mitt Romney. Or we can keep moving forward with President Obama's vision for a growing economy that works for middle-class families in North Carolina and all across the country. For me, for North Carolina and for America, it's an easy choice.
My idea, as the whole world knows, is that the capitalist system now doesn't work either for the United States or the world, driving it from crisis to crisis, which are each time more serious.
I've developed several serious policy proposals to create jobs, reform Washington and reduce spending.
Money will buy a pretty good dog, but it won't buy the wag of his tail.
Teach your children how to behave with animals. Adopt a pet. Don't go buy one. Please. That's a sin. Let's get these puppy mills out of business.
