Reply #22: Raise taxes to achieve that goal

[Hawkowl]

Raise taxes on the rich and on corporations' cash hoarding. Then directly give that money to small businesses and the lower income people. THAT is the only way unemployment is going below 8%. It would also be helpful to pass a Wall Street brokers transactions tax. Just a penny or two for every stock, commodities, and derivatives transactions. This would prevent a lot of speculation and raise a lot of money.

Gotta take the money away from the rich who are deliberately sitting on it.
