Economy

The United States economy is still in limbo. Families and individuals still to this day, do not have enough money to go out and spend. Companies are not really hiring, people still loosing jobs and the income gap is still widening by the day. The income gap is one part of the piece hurting the economy and the future. Some individuals even have two jobs, but still cannot make ends meet and when you do work, taxes take a big chunk of your income. The more people you can hire, the more have to spend which in turn comes back to business that provides them with more revenue and profit. The day business get helped out by governments and let them always bail you out, is when America truly begins to fall from the top spot. Capitalism is the best method to use for any economy in the world because of competition, more inventions, out of the box thinking, when one falls another comes alive and keeps society happy.  Americas debt is another problem and individual debt, which people tend to forget about is even a bigger problem. A hammer should only cost five to ten dollars instead of hundred dollars and expense should be kept to a minimum. With a smaller government in turn, helps the economy and keeps it healthy. All you have to do is look at the history of government throughout the world. America also needs to shut down some programs that are not helping the general public out and that does not have our best interests. This is not a good look for politicians and is never a popular idea, but needs to be done in this day and age. The economy is not as healthy as it seems. Obamacare is the biggest joke of all time. Raising the minimum wage is also a joke because companies are going towards flex workers and cutting majority of the part time employees jobs, will cause inflation which in turn kills the economy even more, less hours you work and accelerates income inequality.
 Question, do people working feel like their slaves to the the people who don't work because their lazy and get handouts from the government? This is not intended to be a personal attack or attack on people who actually look for jobs, but are not getting accepted.
