Next time, choose a change for the better

Change is a double-edged sword - like the one thrust into our economic hearts by poor management of the governments. Change has two edges: for better or for worse.

So how do you like “Change, yes we can” now, Iowa? Why have we never been promised “better” by the politicians? It is simply because they cannot guarantee it. We have now experienced a good solid dose of change for the worse. It will soon be time for change for the better.

Lower tax rates have proved to provide increased government revenues. Means testing of all income, expenditures, taxations and entitlements is the betterment of fairness - not sticking it to a richer class for the sake of change.

Betterment is the opposite direction from change for the worse. When you means test “change,” always choose the better edge of the sword. Choose wisely this time, Iowa.
