The $8000 first time home buyer tax credit is a mistake.\u00a0 Congress should have enacted the original idea: a $15,000 tax credit.\u00a0 This goes for the repeat home buyer tax credit as well.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, I would like to have seen both tax credits even higher.\u00a0 If you’ll maintain an open mind for the next few minutes, I hope to show you how embracing these tax credits actually creates a “win-win” situation that benefits you and this great nation.<\/p>\n

The inherent spirit of humankind is individualistic, creative and inclined toward action.\u00a0 The heart of man is inexorably drawn toward freedom: freedom to live, freedom to express and freedom to choose.\u00a0 No matter what short-term damage is effected by an oppressor or institutionalized by a government, men and women will devise ways to rebuild and overcome.\u00a0 Even in countries where the idea of freedom has been systematically driven out by force, we witness people taking action toward freedom.\u00a0 It is a natural state that can be delayed, but not denied.\u00a0 We are DOER<\/strong>s.\u00a0 This country, the United States of America, is the poster child for taking action toward freedom.\u00a0 We are a nation made up of DOER<\/strong>s.<\/p>\n

So what does this have to do with the tax credit?\u00a0 It empowers us with a “win-win” opportunity.\u00a0 The immoral bribes to home buyers, the unconstitutional mandate for health insurance, the socialistic bail-outs, even the very destruction wrought by stimulus packages:\u00a0 embrace them all!\u00a0 These are all opportunities to make that “win-win” choice.\u00a0 Embrace the home buyer’s credit and ACT on it<\/em>!\u00a0 Be a DOER<\/strong>.\u00a0 It’s the DOER<\/strong>s who create the success of our society.\u00a0 A nation of DOER<\/strong>s – of independent, entrepreneurial, action-based DOER<\/strong>s – will always bring about the necessary changes to save this republic.\u00a0 If you desire your own success, then you desire to become a DOER<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

More specifically: every action you take to help another person receive the tax credit strengthens you as a DOER<\/strong> while at the same time weakening the architects – the very architecture<\/em> – that imposes itself upon a free people with that tax credit.\u00a0 Eventually, Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
