Prime Minister Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation says the state should stay out of business is right. Governments especially the US. should allow tax breaks for small business. There is a local tax, a state tax and a federal tax and a social security tax. And maybe more hidden taxes. I think the government should cut it's spending in half unless it desides to be a socialist government like Russia which at the moment is changing from socialism. If the US. would do this it would give business a big lift and thus bring world economy into upward motion. This is my opinion.

The question that the leaders do not express
is the history of the Banking cartels and how they
brought about world war 1 and 11.
Is this the same game on going for world war 3????
