WILLIAMS: Will Obama repeat FDR's mistakes?

The only way to stop the slide down is to lower taxes to encourage business owners to ad more personnel as other companies which are bloated by union demands fail completely. Throughout history only capitalist style governments have grown while protectionism and socialism style governments have failed. Government should be for government and business for business leaving the market place to decide who has the best products. China is part capitalism and part socialism today and they have grown at a 9% rate because they had nothing under socialism. Russia had nothing but oil and weapons to export which is still true today because they refused real capitalism in business except for the hands of a few. Europe still has a large degree of socialism which accounts for high unemployment even in good times as the incentive to work is replaced by state handouts.
